My favorite is the extremely old man. Comes in same time without fail, can barely walk from station to station, has absolutely perfect form, and struggles against a 5 pound weight with the fervor of an Olympian going for the gold. I watched you for months fighting against the march of time just to go from 3 lbs to 5 and it was one of the reasons I didn't stop going either. Rock on old man
speaking of old man, theres this 65 yo dude in the gym im goin to, jacked af i didnt know much about the machine and the gym, asked the dude, dude showed me how to use the machine, then he go like "ay put more weights cmon" i was terrified and refused, but shit kept me motivated even now 😭
Not only is the guy who's always there always there, he is also there when you change up the time you go to the gym. Come like 4 hours later and he is still there. It's like he is paid by the gym to make it look a little fuller
that's the thing: he's there WHEN YOU ARE THERE... Whenever you'll go there, HE'LL BE PLACED THERE by the time-space continuum overlords to mess with you.
There is a God Tier subclass of old people you're missing, and they're not all that uncommon. There's some people in their 70's and 80's, and they come in, do good form and work with what they can, and go home. When I see them hitting a bench I can't help counting in my head how many reps they're on and rooting for them to get another in. The older people I've encountered have all been very polite and leaving people alone. Some of them are cool, and I honestly wish they were more chatty, I wonder what they do it for. We're all gonna get there one day (hopefully). God I want to see a Ninye video when he's 80! Probably smoking more than ever!
I'm in highschool and I simply do my workout and go home it confuses me how people can wander around the gym and be roudy and in the way without feeling like a pos
That’s why me and my friends when we go to the gym, we are always on the rotation, so nobody on the machine is resting, so we don’t hog any equipment unnecessarily
I'm the rare breed of highschooler that normally goes alone and gets along with everybody at the gym😂. And I actually have a good split and don't only do chest lol. I go with people sometimes, max three people total, and we try not to hog any pieces of equipment.
The Powerlifter: They are really big and buff, but also fat too (permabulk). They usually lift their maximum but do few reps per set. They don't have very good cardiovascular fitness, but they are strong af.
My personal favourite is the calisthenic ponytail old man, that man who walks in to the gym as a really nice neighbour who needs help to clean his garden and suddenly transform himself into a crazy muscle spinner for an hour, just to back to his quiet life inmediately after leave the gym
You forgot the introvert who tries to go into the gym but then leaves immediately because it’s too busy (that’s me, I only go when it’s empty or quiet)
Y'know, I'm tired of seeing this type of comment on any remotely comedic RU-vidr's video. For people who are seeing this joke for the first time yeah it's funny but after you see the joke for the 150 millionth time with the same "ayo???" camera emoji or side eye emoji or emoji taking picture emoji it'll get old and dry quick.
I think you forgot one other type: the sweaty tryhard. A combination of the stoic and the guy who is always there. I never bothered to discover what type of gym person I am until the cruise I was on a week ago. It was the first time ever seeing a relatively crowded environment. But I discovered that I always come in at around early afternoon with 7-8 hours of sleep prior and attended 8/10 days for the duration of the cruise. But I have to admit I do have bad habits such as not wiping down the equipment after I am done and I sweat A LOT. The only thing I really do is put a towel on the headrest of the bench or seat of whatever machine I am using
honestly, we should really appreciate the editing, effort, and how entertaining he manages to make his videos, and it is funny how me manages to make a stickman with red eyes entertaining, respect to this dude.
I made more progress in 4 months with a home gym than going to a commercial gym for 4 years. Because when I train at home, I don't skip workouts, except when I get sick.
There are these 3 kids and all of them are a mix of the loud middle aged man and the high school teenagers at my gym. They grunt super loudly no matter the exercise and skip legs. I actually used a machine after them and thought they would've had it at a higher weight because of the grunting, but it was 20lbs for triceps pushdown.💀
When i go to the gym with my friends (the gym we go to is in a small town, so it's not really big, the locker rooms are way smaller), i see standard people going to this gym, unlike the gym in my High school, the students that went there almost looked like olympians.
There's also always the one old guy whose freakishly strong. He's been going to the gym for 50 years streight and he throws around 4X the weight you can do as if it's nothing.
I'm a combination of the crackhead, highschool kids, villain arc dude, the stoic, never the running guy. I talk to myself all the time, ego lift, wear a hat almost over my eyes so I can't look up, pace around the whole gym all the time, never skip legs, barely ever get any "cheat meals", think I'm a monster in the gym, listen to whatever, watch Sam Sulek, hate middle aged to old guys and women. Also I want to mention that in the gym I am a true gentlemen, only slamming deadlifts :D
2:38 i have done both of those in the gym. Although the rest doesn't really apply to me. If i want motivation i hear vegeta or david goggins and i take pre workout. Also my gym doesn't open until 8am. Also my leg day is cardio and i can pistol squat.
Why's this so damn accurate?😅. I'm 33 and have been training since 07 when I was a scrawny bag of bones. The gym has honeslty been the thing that has saved me and kept me sane through the worst times of my life.
I’ve never felt so seen as a stoic. I’m only like this because I’m used to working out by myself, I try not to bother anyone else, go to the gym early in the morning because it’s quieter, and absolutely hate cardio 😅
3:30 jesus so it's not a single case situation. One day I went to the gym at opening hour, and there was this like 40s guy and he dropped EVERY SINGLE WEIGHT. He straight up just let go of the tricep pushdown. Like not even at halfway, no he pushed it down and let it go. And I am afraid if i let the plates accidentaly touch and make a small sound.
