What's with the huge influx in "Poser" bodybuilders in the gym these days?

[NickEdge779]

Especially teenage kids, who are like 130 lbs, decked out in Otomix weight lifting shoes, Gymshark tank tops, lifting straps, Inzer weight lifting belt, expensive gym bag, shaker cup, BCAA's, etc  etc looking like they spent $500 on supplements and gym apparel who look like they've been to the gym for less than 2 weeks in the entire life. I see them everywhere these days. The dude has barely even hit puberty and he's thinking he's the next Jay Cutler.

And it's not just teenager kids either...

I see guys who are like 40 who are 150 lbs wearing Rich Piana "Kill it" shirts, flexing in the mirror, looking like they are going to fight someone with how mad they are, red as a tomato looking like a hot dog from running boat loads of gear with blood pressure 200/100 but can't even eat 3000 calories a day and do half reps and awful form on everything.

Otomix? You mist* must mean Metcon's and other crossfit style trainers .

*Infringement and what not.

Saw a guy in his 60's take of his shirt and started to pose facing a mirror in the gym for another guy.

[Fortress]

To me, it’s the bandwagon powerlifting hordes.

[SOMEPARTS]

They get their ideas from youtube and are highly merchandised above all else... There have always been annoying gym rat types who just don't quite get it, but many of these new guys just go in to dress up, drink a preworkout and take selfies. Hardly any of them actually lift well.

[paloboi]

Why wouldn't you pose in a bodybuilding gym? BOOM ROASTED

[Notomorrow]

Golds is the worst. Im finally cancelling my membership, as Im out of the country most of the time anyway and its just douchebag city, one college kid twink after another filming for yet ANOTHER youtube channel at 190 lbs soaking wet and just strutting around with imaginary lat syndrome. I've never been super big and didn't have good genetics, but trained hard, loved training and developed ok but had my own sort of  code when I first joined years ago that I didn't even wear a tank top. I felt it was a privilage at Golds when I first joined years ago, and felt uncomfortable rocking a tanktop in front of walls of Mr Olympia photos and top bodybuilders.  Guess I'm just an oldschool prude. If I trained really hard and got to low bodyfat, it was like a special day for me that I would rock a tanktop at the Mecca, because I had worked hard, done the best I could and had the right to proudly rock a Golds tank a day or two at the Mecca. Now 19 year old twinks are rocking stringer tanks and even fucking posing in front of Dorian and Ronnie wall photos as their little girlfriends film them.

Do you ever have anything nice to say? Do you ever say anything that is fun? Do you have anything that is positive in your life?

They're all posers if they're on drugs....Stop the drugs and see what happens...

[ratherbebig]

so on one hand you have people having fun at the gym - they got actual friends who they train with, they take photos with their actual girl friends etc

on the other hand we got the bitter getbiggers. they have no fun. no friends. no training partners. no girlfriend and if they do, she doesnt train. they old farts talking about how it used to be. how people shouldnt wear this. do that. train a certain way or buy supplements. and then they run home to tell other grumpy getbiggers about it so they can share their miserable life experience.

[IroNat]

Take away the mirrors and all this foolishness would stop.

The gym memberships would also drop like a rock.

[funk51]

i get a kick out of the screamers. it's usually some guy doing dumbbell curls, it sounds like someone is torturing them. also the head phone singers and dancers. and the guys looking in the mirror throwing karate kicks and chops trying to impress their boyfriends. it's all in fun though, you got to go with the flow.

Not to mention all these fucktards with Paul Bunyan beards these days.

Unbeknownst to these trendsetters, they are utilizing the "Weider Check-Posing Principle".

I shit you not.  That was actually a "Weider Principle". Did I fall for that crap decades ago?  Again, I poop you  not...I did.

[Fortress]

Like I say, at my gym it’s all powerlifting wannabes.

And every one of these goobers videos every goddamn set they do. Between sets, they’re glued to their smartphones or yakking with other bandwagon-hoppers about how hardcore they all are.

Hate them all.

[robcguns]

Social media is the cause of al these wack jobs.Monkey see monkey do.I wish someone could pull the plug on Facebook,Instagram,Snapchat etc... and all these fools wouldn’t know what to do with themselves.
