When it took 6 days to get over stiff legs and you realise today is squats
When you see high school kids recording tiktok videos at the gym
When you’re half way through a heavy squat session on a friday night and questioning if you’re doing the rig
Gym mfer stockpiling the dumbbells. me
When you’re back in the gym after 3 months and your warmup feels heavy
Mfer walking in between me and the mirror mid set. me
When a non lifter tries to give you lifting advice
When you leave your bench to find more plates and you see someone unracking it
When the all you can eat buffet owner starts staring at me after i tell him i’m bulking
Sometimes i wonder why my friends don’t even lift
Everyone else it’s two for one at papa johns me after cutting all week
When the gym employee says you’re deadlifting grunts are disturbing others
The face you make when you think you should start doing some cardio
When someone accuses you of half repping squats
When the gym is the most exciting part of the day, and that’s over
When a non lifter tells you a calorie is a calorie
Battery dies in bluetooth headphones, forced to listen to gym playlist
When you’re back from the water fountain and someone’s taken your bench
