Zyzz led the path for muscular bros in 2009. But ever since 2015 or so, mainstream normies in college and in their 20's get hyped about going to the gym and shit. Seen a lot of skinny fucks get swole or muscular physiques. On the other hand, any skinny dudes also go to the gym for a few weeks and give up tho. All the Marvel heroes are muscular and people look up to them. Tons of fit bros going to raves and shit now.
But I am wondering will it die down and go downhill from here

Dudes in their twenties have always been excited to go to the gym. It’s been like that since fucking Arnold. The increase you’re seeing is the mainstream figuring out obesity is bad and no one wants to be a fat fuck.
>since arnold
Great post overall, but it goes back even further. In Homer's Oddessy, the dudes trying to bone Homer's wife while he was away at see were described as young, handsome, energetic men in their 20's who would hang out in her courtyard all day lifting rocks and wrestling to enhance aesthetics.
I'm not really seeing what you're seeing. I'd say it's already on the decline with fat acceptance and victim culture. Living in general is incredibly easy right now and strength isn't immediately necessary
It's opposite imo. Instagram made everyone wanna look at their peak. So many people go to gym where I live.
lol why does she look like a Code Geass character
Nah but hoping it gets there. Make america a test filled monster again. Bring back the normalization of street fighting!
Yes. Was cool in 2012. Now every fucking boozoo who's secretly peeved about losing their preferred status as swm but is too much of a cuck to talk about it openly transfers this feeling of illegitimacy by riding motorcycles, getting tattoos, and "powerlifting".
Referring to the fake hipster powerlifter. Honestly respect brosplit college douches more than these fucks. Pretty much all downhill now anyway.
Peak culture was like 2012 when everyone that was into lifting was really about uplifting themselves from loser status (therefore very brave/unique people like Zyzz), or chads to begin with. Now that average normies are in on it, shit sucks. Still get laid more tho.
The fuck is a hipster powerlifter lol.
most big lifters i know are brosplit college brahs
Don't you realize that something being popular means it's already dead?
true wisdom here
Shut up nerd
Must live in a real shit area.

This kind of dude. Not usually this extreme/metal but they're everywhere. Into pipes and pomade and shit too. Operation Werewolf is the fashy/non faggoty version of this.
Wtf is this horse shit

Lifting culture is starting to decline yes, we’re starting to see the widespread commercialisation of powerlifting - see how many novices you see fully kitted out with brand new SPD gear and reebok legacies, wearing their branded wrist wraps to bench 185 and their branded deadlift slippers to pull 300. It’s starting to become a hobby filled with arcane technical jargon that newbies eat up to feel like they ‘belong’ without gaining any actual knowledge. Every aspiring ‘coach’ has a carefully curated instagram where they post their mediocre competition results, longass essays about minor technical points that they’re not experts in, ‘progress’ pics where they get fatter and talk about how it’s better to be at 25% bf and lift 10lbs more (without mentioning that they’ll cut back to 12% to make weight for their next meet). Meanwhile the females who actually lift constantly congratulate each other on every imagined success in a huge masturbatory hugbox and let their egos inflate from the hordes of e-orbiters they accumulate just by putting a bar on their back. Strongman is slowly starting to head this way too, crossfit has always been there, yoga and ‘wellness’ has always been there but it’s sorta supposed to be, pro bodybuilding not so much because it actually takes a shitload of boring work to be a competitor.
Oly lifting is still pretty based though, likely because it’s a smaller sport and it takes a bit of time and dedication to learn the lifts, especially if you’re teaching yourself. It’s easy to transition from going to the gym casually to ‘powerlifting’ since you’re probably already squatting and benching, or at least know the movements. But to start weightlifting you need to actually make a decision and change your programming drastically.
fuuuuck I hate these guys so much. Just fucking squat, miss me with your gay ass skull photoshops and your awful bikie gang larp.

God is dead. Social media and fitness are both new religions that fuel each other.
Fitness will continue to grow until there is some huge medical breakthrough (something that ends obesity with a pill or some shit).
This. That was the beginning of social media, before that, lifting was kind of a hidden experiment, and you felt like you knew all this health knowledge compared to every normie.
Now every fucking normie jumped on the bandwagon and made lifting mainstream. You no longer are better than the rest, you are just following a fad by lifting. After 2012 everything died, it feels like there is no safe haven to improve oneself but not feel like a sheep.
What will be next? Maybe face looksmaxing will catch on to normies. Everyone will try to be chad by getting plastic surgery once its nornalized and people will get lazy and not work out, i dunno. So far it looks like tanning, tattoos, and roids are already getting failo'd hard by normies atm.
Only an astounding ignorance of history could result in such a retarded statement.
Social media is making people more aware of what a good body can achieve. There is a small minority pushing HAES but the majority are not morons. They can see with their own eyes the benefits of being fit
This it's cyclical look at the Arnie, then van dam era etc.
>it feels like there is no safe haven to improve oneself but not feel like a sheep.
You could just ignore all that bullshit and go about your life. Letting it get to you is fucking low and stupid.
