Fr gym bros tend to be super wholesome to newcomers if you ask for advice. Not all of them, for sure, but I've had good luck.

[–] [email protected] 111 points 11 months ago

you're essentially asking somebody to talk about their hobby, so it makes sense

[–] [email protected] 27 points 11 months ago

Absolutely. Everyone started somewhere, vast majority of the time everyone at the gym is rooting for you. And the people who aren't are probably not worth respecting enough to care at all about their opinion

it can be scary to talk to strangers at the gym, but I've had nothing but good experiences asking for help whether it's form checks, spotting, asking to work in if the equipment you need is being used (help them load/unload their weight if you do this!), or even asking for help finding some weights or equipment (i wasn't sure if the gym I was at had 2.5lb plates, asked, dude helped me look between his sets and found some). Of course there are always the occasional assholes, but I think they're pretty rare, especially if you're not an asshole first

Incels finding out the world isn’t all that scary is always wholesome fun

Anon about to learn how to be a power bottom

[–] VicentAdultman 42 points 11 months ago

10 years ago when I started going to the gym I was ugly as fuck. Pimples in my face, fucking 55kg (121 American bullshit), weird face due to fucked up teeth. A buffed dude noticed me in my 2nd week and started to talk to me and asking me to reach his weights for him, spot, etc. He told me that he started skinny AF too and I would grow eventually. I think if it wasn't for that, I would drop the gym and hate it for the rest of my life.

Thank you wholesome chads

[–] Electric_Druid 39 points 11 months ago (1 children)

So many of these would be more wholesome if they didn't casually drop in slurs.

[–] Soulg 7 points 11 months ago (1 children)

What's even slur here lol

[–] Kase 20 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Apparently "wigger" means white + n-word. Like for white people who 'act black'.

(Just repeating others in the thread, I've never heard this word before)

[–] [email protected] 7 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Yeah I was about to comment. Like, imagine using the word "wigger" unironically in 2009, let alone 2019 when this post is from. Hopefully anon can step away from 4chan for a while and learn some good habits from this Chad.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 11 months ago

[–] Brickhead92 5 points 11 months ago

No no, it is the person who makes wigs

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago

Correct, we done here.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 11 months ago (5 children)

4chan slang is like zoomer slang, except it’s all racist.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 11 months ago

Wigger was around as a term well before 4chan. I remember it from back in the late 90s.

Pretty fly for a white guy

[–] GutsBerserk 4 points 11 months ago

Wanna be + N-word : Wigger.

[–] CryptidBestiary 27 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Everyone had to start somewhere. This applies to the dedicated gym people and they are well aware of the struggles of coming into the gym as a newcomer. Most people in the gym are too focused on their workouts to judge other people. Those who do are actual losers and posers with insecurities

[–] [email protected] 9 points 11 months ago

Yeah, in my experience gym goers are pretty helpful and will ask if they can help if they see someone not too familiar with excersises.

When I was for the first time in a gym I had no idea what I was doing and was just randomly going from tool to tool. Someone saw that asked me if I had a traiing plan. Of course I didn't and he made me a simple one and gave it to me the next time I was there and explained some basics to me and how I should mofify it for what I wanted to achieve.

[–] kosanovskiy 19 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Stop having negative expectations of people from.memes, most people are reallynchull and helpful.

[–] Shou 7 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I agree, though often negative expecations come from expetiences too. If you got bullied in high school, the idea that there are people who want to help you becomes alien.

Being terminally online is not always the root cause of a skewed view of reality. It's one step away from anxiety alone.

[–] ThatWeirdGuy1001 6 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Yeah people ignore that shit people exist and there are people who are worse off because of it.

I wouldn't even call what I went through bullying it was attempted murder and me having ptsd from it isn't my fault

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

Hope it's improving for you! I went through that level of it too.

What sucks is the gaslighting every time I brought it up. My parents, teachers, and others would act like I started it. Pisses me off looking back to it today.
