Whether you’re a seasoned powerlifter or just here for the vibes (and bicep pumps), gym life is full of hilarious little moments. And yes, we meme them all.
From that one guy who slams every rep like he’s summoning thunder, to the rest day that turns into a rest week “for recovery,” this collection speaks fluent gym.
Let’s take a break from counting macros and laugh at the universal truths of gym culture—like how your gym crush only appears when you’re mid-sweat or when the squat rack’s finally free… but now you suddenly need to pee.
Because deep down, we all know: the only thing better than gains is laughing at how weird we all are about chasing them.
