I had to move to another city to start my major, but I owe a lot to that team. I know I wouldn't have lost the weight I have without them.
I love this
Based. Keep going user you will make it. Your efforts will not be in vain.

Had a similar story (not really) a few years ago
>be me
>21
>just recovered from 2 broken legs from harley crash
>everyone at the gym asks me about my limp/knows what happened
>start squating for the first time in a year cuz it was leg day
>notice 6'7 frauding chad watching me
>he asks "did you hurt your legs or something?"
>manlet pride kicks in and i lie "no, why does it look like that?"
>"yeah...."
>i not quite embarrassed take it as im not fully healed and leave gym shortly after
>"HEY WAIT!"
>chad comes running out after me
>"hey man, i didnt mean nothing by that man. My name is travis. I cant really squat all that great either but like you can squat with me and my friends on wednsday if you want."
Shit made me feel better about limping around and healing
maybe travis can be your hunk boyfriend user ~3~
Thanks user. I don't want to disrespect the work people have put into me. We're all gonna make it.
It took a moment like that for me to really believe most people want others to do well in the gym.
For every asshole ive ran into, I've ran into another person like travis
Shut the fuck up
People like you ruin this board
Burn in hell tranny
Very based. As a former baseball player its good to hear about other ball players NOT being complete douche bags.
Jesus why doesn’t that boomer let hat injury heal ffs?

There is this really handsome tall guy at my gym, i see him sometimes. I am skinny and a loser so i never talk to anybody in the gym and noone ever notices me, but he always says hello and bye when he sees me. He is an actual Chad and not one of those wannabe chads who think it's cool to make fun of dyels and 24 year old kissless virgins.
>Obnoxious group of high schoolers always lifting together
>Bad fake Chads, leave weights unracked often
>2 quiet fat Mexican brothers join them
>300 lb but dyel-tier strength
>Obnoxious kids let them in friend group but roast them regularly
>Mexibros lift together by themselves sometimes--work hard (even tho bby weights), respectful of other people, pick up after themselves
>Years pass
>One by one, all of the obnoxious kids stop showing up
>Mexibros stil fat and weak, stop showing up
>More years pass
>One mexibro returns, actually hard to recognize cause he's jacked
>Proceeds to ATG 3 PL squat, deadlift 4 PL for reps
>Lifts quietly and respectfully puts his weights away
He made it
There's a really skinny tall guy I see at the gym every night. He doesn't move much weight but he's always turning red and I can tell he's putting in max effort. It makes me happy to see him working so hard
Based and friendpilled
Addicted to pumping iron bro. That being said I've never seen him do leg day
>Chad wants everyone to make it
>Brad is a douchebag
tell him about it, that will make his day for sure
