Nicest thing someone has said to you at the gym

>A few days ago
>Finish my cardio using a skipping rope not soon before the gym is about to close
>Walking out when the only other guy there comes up and says “you’re pretty fucking shredded man”

fuark
that would truly be an honour

Very friendly guy too always talked to me and my friend after that.

Now I'm a Lot fitter and my life is completely different it's weird. Gone from a shut in fat gamer too I guess a normie with a job and house and girlfriend. I went from 380 to 225lbs in 2 years years then went back up to 290lbs working as a bouncer and being lazy with the gym but at the minute I'm 240lb with a bit of loose belly skin but happy with my body and my life. The main thing for me was social gains used to have crippling anxiety and now I can talk to anyone.

Also I'm 6'5 so I can get away with being 240 and still look normal. Also got 530lb diddly but can't bench 315lb at minute my bench sucks but have done previously.

Nice man, i was the opposite. Completely anorexic skinny twink to putting on some mass finally, feels good to be happy in your body

You actually talk to anyone at the gym beside "is cage/bench free?"?

>thanks for spotting me bro
i don't interact with other gym goers often

Some bro came up to me once and said my progress was inspirational

>Hey did you forget your phone?
>Uhh I don't know, maybe. Yeah, thanks. I appreciate it, thanks.
I was waiting on a call back from an interview and I would have been in a panic when I got home.
His lifts were my warmup but my social gains were his warmup.

Did u go from a complete fatass?

Where are all these fucking Jamaican gym angels I keep reading about? Do they only show up when you truly need them most

300 pounder here was doing assisted pull ups, some guy walks up and says good shit.

I did an hour of cardio, 20 mins of each machine they had, 2 workers say “putting in work huh”

Brah has a dog? Now I like him even more.

>eats interesting and historical foods
fucking kek
sage

Hey dude, where do you buy your protein?
>I don't

People mire, it's how I first started to get into them. I feel bad because the dip station is right beside the assisted dip.
3 plate(135) dip for 3 reps at 170
115 weighted chin at 175

>tfw bulking too hard so the weight gains on weighted chins are mostly on my body

Really the only time someone has talked to me at the gym (except from my friends) was when some huge guy 110+kgs and at least 6'3 tatted up, mean looking comes up to me mid set of preacher curls.
I was listening to music so i pull my headphones out, my anxiety was through the roof then he starts having a chat to me about lifting and the gym and why im there,
He Complements my serratus and asks if im in training for a show.
I feel like i have some body dismophia so fuck knows if i was actually big at the time or he was being nice to me. but it was still a huge confidence boost.
Just surprised its happened. hes the only person iv spoken to at the gym in over a year.

You just reminded me of something that happened recently.
>Doing dropsets on squats
>Black guy who’s quite big comes up to me and remarks “those are good squats”
>Ask him later if he can spot me since I’m training to failure
>He spots me for the next three sets
>We chat inbetween sets later on and he mentions an injury he’s had
>I respond that I feel like everyone past a certain age has something, and even though I’m 21 I felt a slight twinge in
between my glute and my back this week, maybe a nerve being pressed
>He winces and remarks that he’s seen a lot of people with that and offers to show me how to stretch it out
>Literally gets me to lie on the back on the gym and pulls my legs to each side to fix my injury
>A week later and haven’t felt it since

Yes

What the heck is it about Jamaican dudes, when I used to train tae kwon do and mma there was this Jamaican kickboxer that would show up and spar with us now and then and he would give me openings to pull combos off when I was close to figuring something out but would punish the shit out of my legs when I wasn't even close.

back when i first started i had really long hair and was obviously incredibly self conscious about everything i did

I cut my hair short and this older lady who was recovering from an eating disorder said how handsome it made me look.

I've been training for 19 years now, and received many compliments I suppose, but that one has always stuck with me. I hope she made a full recovery.
