      You either did no legs or you only did SS gomad bloat only legs. No inbetween.

      But we didn't do any iliac cable rows or whatever, it was just bench and regular rows and lots of half repping on dumbbells.

      Imagine SwoleShack, but 95% less incels, losers, are DYELs. Almost everyone who posted had a sex life and the board as filled with actual good advice and funny people

      That would be pre-2014 misc

      SwoleShack has always been dogshit.

        Losers and DYELs are fine. They can grow and take advice and become better. It's the incels that make this place a heap of shite. Why do they all gravitate towards a fitness board? Surely the cunts don't lift

      2012 was just before the "alternative gay weed-smoking powerlifter" trend.
      But things were also not normal back then because the shitskins and naggers started flooding the gym after white women discovered smartphones and selfies in the late 2000s.

      Well son, fitness culture has pretty much been the same for the last 4,000 years. The only thing that has really changed recently is the invention of steroids but that didn't really change fitness culture much, it just amplified certain aspects of it.

        I remember tinytrip. He was 5'2 and ripped and loved that people made fun of his height. He was a masochist in that regard. But he posted like 8 threads a day with his trip code.
        I believe that's where the original "please be in London" came from.

      it's always wonderful to watch teenagers.
      Their inability to make split second decisions really makes them look retarded. They will laugh first, then, if you're lucky, they might help.
      I never knew life is this way, but I understand the generational conflict now.
      Teenagers are fucking idiots and they think they understand shit, that's why old people can't fucking stand them. But again, we all used to be teens before, but, still, we should be way harder on them than we are now.

        We were all there at one point.

        Gen X or older Millennials calling you a little homosexual in 2000-2012 on CS:S, TF2, old forums, and the myriad of MMO's because you were, in fact, a little homosexual. It's another form of men looking out for younger members and now it's finally your turn to carry on the tradition of bullying the ever-loving fuck out of zoomers for being little homosexuals. No one else is going to do it and it will only benefit them as they grow older pas their little homosexual age period. Teenagers will always be in a perpetual state of retardation, it's their nature, but they need to be reminded they're retarded every once and awhile.

        Every male, younger or old, is required to understand the golden sentiment of men if they are to eventually succeed in life: No respects a pussy.

          was never called a little homosexual tho and gen x and millenialls never really had beef like that. it wasnt a thing

            I think that might be due to the fact that even if millennials as a whole are cucked homosexuals, the portion who went out of their way to work out tended to be on the more grounded, less pozzed side of things. Since working out has become way less of a niche thing, and zoomers have grown up into a time when it's already become way more commonplace, there are far more annoying teenage Zoomer homosexuals in gyms.

      Yeah the point about it not being mainstream is a good one. At least where I am from. Me and my pal used to be basically the only people under the age of 20 working out. There wasn't really a "gym culture", it was just something some lads did. Made it way less faggy than it seems to have become as a result of the tiktok generation and their behaviour. The women that went to the gym were generally older and there wasn't really the sort of skintight gym wear that every woman has on these days. It's honestly still like this in smaller gyms or those without zoomers, aside from the female gymwear point. Contrast is night and day when you find a gym without the homosexualry

    Well son, 2012 fitness culture was defined by a singular scientific focus. An all-consuming all-encompassing all-sanctifing pursuit of the one true wholistic ecumenical and universal question. We were, as we always were. We were, as we always will be. We are, now, then, and forever and always and evermore and everywhere beholden to the one quest and question; to the one wonder and wondering; to the gospel and evangel. My son, we simply sought to know if.... coffee was good for us.

    No girls in skintight yoga pants showing off their ass and recording themselves for social media. Social media wasn’t a big thing back then. No camera phones. People would talk about lifting on forums like bodybuilding.com

    I think the reason more girls started going to the gym is because they saw male fitness influencers on instagram and thought “if I go to the gym and show off my body maybe I can get a bf like that”
