Sometimes the heaviest thing we lift at the gym is our own ego after failing to re-rack a 2.5kg plate quietly. But hey, that’s why gym memes exist.
This collection is for the lifters who know the pain of a missed PR, the squat rack politics, and the silent war for the best bench at 6 a.m. You’re not alone. We see you. And we meme you.
So whether you’re crushing goals or crushed by DOMS, these memes are your emotional warm-up. Laugh, recover, and never skip meme day.
