Back in the day teens/college aged guys were in the gym to get yoked or training for sports. Now its skinny broccoli heads taking selfies sitting on a machine doing f all.

This is exactly why I go to the gym at 3 am. Only hand full of us regulars dedicated to work out and get out. Whole different story after 5 pm.

I've considered doing private gym/co-op kinda thing with some friends. Buy a bunch of used gym equipment and put it in a warehouse bay in the industrial district, everyone pays $50/mo or something and gets a code to the door. Nothing fancy, the basic machines and weight sets, some fans and mats, and a fridge. Invite only, you gotta be vouched for, and if you get booted for being an idiot or asshole then the person who vouched for you gets the boot too.

3 am?! You beat me. I'm in at 4am, but sometimes when I have to travel, I hit gyms at peak and broccoli head aplenty! lol
 
4AM, 5AM at my gym M-F... Saturday and Sunday I can get away with 6:30am as well at the latest. Friday after 5pm usually it's pretty dead in the gym as well. I can't work out when the broccoli heads are in. What I have seen is they never have a plan, they get on a machine do a set and sit and scroll through their phone. If I ask to work in they always get all hurt. I had some even say in Spanish, no speaka English, habla Espanol? When I heard them speaking in English about 10 minutes prior. That shit enrages me but because I am the older of them and larger, I have to take control of myself. Some of them have no ear buds and they play Mexican music through their phone on speaker as loud as they can. It's like, hey idiot, no one wants to hear that shit. Get some ear buds.

Wtf... And I thought the Hey Dudes were bad... Damn those things are ugly as sin, but they should be banned from gyms as a simple safety/liability risk. Pretty sure I'd tell anyone wearing those to.stay the hell away from me.
 
The haircuts are dumb but tbh every generation of teenagers had some kind of lame cut looking back. (Except the 2000s high fade with frosted tips🤣). What I don’t get with the “kids” in the gym today is no intensity at all. 4 dudes on leg ext for 30 min, maybe 2 sets each, in flip flops, playing on their phones, with gym shark shirts. 0 sweat, 0 push but 20 TikTok videos.
 
Saw a kid doing hack squats in crocs. Seems like a terrible idea, you could see the shoe stretching and I was just waiting for it to pop and him to tear up his knee…

What's up with only wearing socks... While training everything not just deads or squats... Walking around in socks .... Ummm sneakers are good 👍
 
I honestly don't know how gyms allow that shit, seems like it would be a no-go for their liability insurance. Yeah I know everyone signs a waiver but still. If I ran a gym I'd turn people around at the door for showing up in anything but proper athletic sneakers.

I give every person shit that does that. Especially when they are standing on a weight doing squats. I tell them straight up you better clean that fucking plate off when you’re done.
 
Some day those “broccoli heads” will be complaining about the next generation of young guys at the gym. Maybe the style at that point will be to dress like Little Lord Fauntleroy, which will infuriate the broccoli heads — since having a head like broccoli is the old school manly way of doing it. But at that point, the broccoli heads may be using telepathy or something, instead of writing on a forum…
 
Can't say kids around here are dressing like that,
They certainly aren't dressing as sensibly as we did in the 80's-90's with our stringers, colorful spandex shorts and haram pants

I told some broccoli-headed kid to get off the mats with his fucking cell phone during class, and he somehow thought mouthing off to a seasoned/salty guy was a good idea. Before I could say anything, my good friend, an old-school Brazilian black belt coach, started berating him, then pointed at me to get ready to roll with him. As my coach punched the timer, he looked at the kid and, in his thick accent, said, "You signed the fucking waiver."

Never saw the kid again. Last I heard, his parents were still paying his gym dues, and it's been a long while.

Phone on the mat & attitude is a perfect reason to yard dart a punk.

Same. I have a nice setup at home. I literally could have done my workout at home this morning, but I need the cardio equipment right now. I know damn well that if I lifted at home first my ass wouldn't be going to the gym just for cardio :ROFLMAO:

Isn't the nice scenery at the gym during cardio tempting though?

Okay, I had no idea what "JNCO" was, I'm old (but technically Not a boomer). Went to the website. That is some of the Gayest most Retarded looking shit I have ever seen.
