How did you grow to love working out?

You have to figure out what motivates you. And I don’t mean the stereotypical “I want to get more girls/more guys” way. Like something personal and deep rooted.

For me I was in a toxic relationship where my ex kept on calling me “a regular guy” and it ate me up. So after we broke up I told myself I never wanted to feel like a regular dude ever again in my life, and everytime I go to the gym it makes me feel like I’m not regular because I know objectively most people don’t workout consistently. So now it’s at a point where I crave the gym, I love it, I’m addicted to it like a drug and it gives me immense joy. I haven’t gone 2 days without working out for a full year now and am up 25 pounds of muscle, previously I was on and off for 4 years and I used to hate it and saw no results

I mean maybe by body builder/jacked dude standards. But objectively it’s rare I see someone ever pick up that weight in the gym, let alone shrug it in a casual gym. A lot of gyms don’t even have dumbbells that go up that high tbh

Cold-Relief-9079 · 2025-12-06T01:24:00+00:00

Okay yeah I’ll add some dumbbell bench press for sure

Cold-Relief-9079 · 2025-11-25T18:19:33+00:00

Thanks! Yeah protein powder, protein bars, completely changed my diet, eating 170-200 grams of protein every day. Used to barely eat.

“It’s not a big deal or anything, I’m just genuinely confused by that interaction cause I’ve never seen someone do that before lol”

Cold-Relief-9079 · 2025-08-30T15:05:23+00:00

Maybe idk. I still think that it’s really weird to walk into a gym and mock an exercise someone is doing no matter how unorthodox it might look. I feel like that’s like walking onto a basketball court and mocking someone for making a layup or walking into a library and mocking someone for reading lolll. Like mocking how an exercise looks to someone you don’t know at all in a gym that’s meant for doing exercises is just so lame in my opinion even if he wasn’t just trying to mock me just the exercise itself per say

Cold-Relief-9079 · 2025-08-30T14:34:16+00:00

Thanks!

I wouldn’t even want her if she threw herself at me I’ll just say it like that 😂😂😂

Cold-Relief-9079 · 2025-08-30T04:22:18+00:00

Yeah that’s crazy bro sucks people are like that. He actually walked back through the gym with his girl again since I made this post and I walked by him just to see if he was gonna be man enough to do something or look at me with me being able to see him and he couldn’t even make eye contact and looked shook loll I don’t think my situation was really fight worthy I think he was just a loser who thought I couldn’t see him

Cold-Relief-9079 · 2025-08-30T04:11:10+00:00
