My experience with people who are really into working out is that they want everyone to be into working out, and want to help you get there. They’re nerds for lifting. They’re excited to get you excited.
Anyone who shit-talks you for not already being great at it is a fucking poser and you should tell them that.
Bouldering gyms are like this too. The best climbers are the ones stopping what they’re doing to cheer for and hype up the beginners. Mostly very wholesome group
Same here. The real gym bros will take their time with someone who is not fit because you actually showing up to the gym, to them is a sign you want to work on yourself and they value that.

“Nerds for lifting” I fucking love that and feel that.

Also a handy excuse to give the arms a break!

Not to mention many of them probably have been you; out of shape, showing up to the gym for the first time.
Everyone’s a nerd for something, I firmly believe that.
