covid baby. All the 18 year olds now were like 15 at the start of covid and sat inside obsessing about themselves in a mirror for 2-3 years rather than getting fucked up with their friends at house parties. Welcome to ze new normal
Elijah Rivera
This shits scary bruh
I look at la fitness pics from 2015-2019 and it looks all like normal dudes ranging from every age
Now I’m the gym it’s literally ALL 15-18 year olds with the occasional 21-35 year old and a lot of old dudes
I remember 2 years there would be alpha construction dudes sitting in the sauna and I never see that anymore lmao
Instead I gotta listen to these zoomers talk about school work wtf
Parker Myers
Happens at the beginning of each year for the first two/three months as they all decide to get fit for New Year's. They're usually gone by March. Also Covid, as someone else said - means that this year's New Year's idiots are that much worse
Adam Adams
I’m thinking it’s more to do with TikTok as most of them are on sarms.
it’s going to be funny when they’re 20 and look 28-30 because they’re going to need to be on trt lmao
They’ll have a 2 year prime lmao
Meanwhile chaundo tan is 58 and looks 25 in some pics
Carson Hall
Blackpilled.

social media especially tiktok has made lifting popular, every zoomer saw one zyzz edit and now they want to become the best that they can. Good for them, hopefully no early sarms use
Ive been lifting since the 2000s, I remember in the 2000s the average age of guys in the gym was like 40+, mid-life crisis guys....you never saw teens or guys in their 20s. Everyone use to skinnymaxx back then.
I remember 1 guy at my high-school use to get made fun of for lifting, it was that odd. Now every kid in high-school lifts.
Dominic Adams
I take it as a point of optimism that the new generation might actually be more physically active and healthy when compared to previous generations. Maybe they see the obesity epidemic as disgusting. Maybe the fat acceptance shit will finally be over. Wishful thinking maybe.
Chase Hill
They’re ALL on sarms. 90% of them
Sarms don’t age you, but after your 2nd cycle of sarms you’re Ganna need trt and that’s where there prime ends lmao. They’re Ganna age Like complete shit since trt ages you even at low dose
These dudes will be 20 in 2 years and look 30 lmao. They gone lose all there looks the second they hop on trt
Why would HRT age them any more than their own testosterone?
Christopher Phillips
As a natty your test fluctuates, when you’re on grt you have high test constantly 24/7
Go look on the testosterone subreddit and everyone complaining about trt aging them lmao
There is no 30 year old in the world who’s on trt and can pass for 21 facially
Hunter Ross
I'm not that optimistic, about 7-8 years ago when I started lifting, all the youngsters aged 18-20 and so were coming to the gym, but 9 out of 10 had an athletic backgrounds and their either lifted for the sport they did or they had abandoned their sport somewhat and focused on lifting, hence everyone looked meaty already from day 1, now all the zoomers who come in are literally sticks with no athletic background whatsover ,it is pretty sad actually
Wyatt Baker
like 80-90% of dudes who get on trt stops during the first year.
Joseph Nelson
I’m so glad I goto a high end fitness club that no zoomers can afford. Mostly old people which leaves me with all the high end equipment and weights
Benjamin Gonzalez
less fat fear and more social media pressure
the shit that hit chicks in the 2000s hits guys now. ain't no escaping that shit now for any sex or socio economic group.
Jason Long
What shit are you referring to that hit chicks in the 2000s?
James Jones
That makes a lot of sense. Maybe it’s healthier overall. Trading a little mental well-being for superior physical well-being. Maybe my math is off lol.
Jeremiah Parker
Interesting take
I think he’s referring to girls trying to get fit to compete for guys
Now it’s the other way around, these zoomer faggots are all trying to compete for women and fuck each other over by trying to Amog dudes
It’s pathetic. Instead of making women compete for us they’re competing for pussy
Blake Morales
I'm okay with it, I want to get myself a twink to sexually bully.
Oliver James
extreme body consciousness brought on by intense social media pressure.
Jeremiah Wright
true but for every dude that makes it, there's probalby 5 others that don't and it wrecks their mental well being. not everyone has the financial genetic or economic capacity to get fit. that will eat away at them mentally until they realize that being fit ain't the end all be all. i dunno man, shit's complicated.
Ryan Perez
>until they realize that being fit ain't the end all be all. isn't this the basis for body acceptance?
Daniel Fisher
sorta, but being a fat fuck is idiotic. the fucking extremes that people take things make me angry.
Mason Lee
>like 80-90% of dudes who get on trt stops during the first year. They get sick of injecting all the time, and they also cringe about telling new girlfriends because most women automatically lose respect for you when they find out you are not a real man and have to inject testosterone.
Ryder Carter
Yeah I get the same feeling. There’s something about social media that just feeds extremes. Not just politics, but everything.
Aiden Perry
I just don't get this shit, because like with hard drugs, eventually your body stops making the chemicals you're putting in there itself, and shit gets all burned out. It's one thing to fuck with your serotonin receptors or oxytocin or w/e, but testosterone? That just seems retarded in a dire way.
Daniel Parker
i'm guessing for those that have reached the limits of their natural genetics, it allows them to go beyond and keep improving and building muscle or whatever the fuck they're doing like recovering from their sport. i've never gotten to that level but if you're bored as fuck and all you got going for you is lifting and you're not improving and PEDs will let you get over this impassable hump, it's worth it.
