Get off your high horse, champ. Why does it matter what the other people in the gym are doing? How do they impact your workout?

I swear to god, the elitism I see on this messageboard is abysmal. If someone did the same with movies or books you'd call them pretentious, but then you turn around and do the exact same thing with weights.

Competition is a natural thing and you can deny it all you want but the fact is seeing someone do better is a motivator to be better yourself.

Being a big fish in a small pond does nothing for you.

You can cry all you want about being the new age millenial of it is ok to be mediocre and those better than you or wanting to be better are the assholes. But in reality you're the cunt.

Movies and books are all subjective, weights are not.

I never "denied" competition was natural or that it can drive you to improve. The issue I have is you looking down on people who can't lift as much as you can and seeing them as being beneath you.

>Being a big fish in a small pond does nothing for you.
Sounds like more of an issue with your own mental drive.

>You can cry all you want about being the new age millenial of it is ok to be mediocre and those better than you or wanting to be better are the assholes. But in reality you're the cunt.
Again, I never said that. And your reply seems to be directed more towards an imaginary "new age millennial" foe which I am not.

>Movies and books are all subjective, weights are not.
True. But your attitude towards the weights and looking down on people who lift less than you is entirely subjective.

I usually go to the gym Saturday nights around eight or nine and man the fat, skinnyfat, desperate and dateless, manchild, manlets are embarrassing. I agree it's is hopelessly unmotivating when you are the biggest guy in the gym.

>when you're the best one in the room you're in the wrong room
how the fuck does this apply to a gym, regardless of other people lifting you can get in, lift, and get out, your gains are completely independent from anyone else's progress you fucking retard. Smart people surround themselves with smart people because they can share knowledge and experience, you can't share gains

As if you actually talk to them faggot

But you wouldn't know that would you :^]

Fuck off m8, even if you were the biggest guy at the gym, what the fuck do you think the biggest guy at the gym uses to motivate himself to get bigger
>hehe I'm the biggest here now better switch gyms

Man I knew /fit/ was fucking autistic but this is just another level

This guy is right.

There could be an argument if you're on the same team and you don't want them to drag you down, but you're not.

I bet OP was one of those pathetic kids that would orbit the "cool kids" in high school because he didn't want to be the coolest there.

I agree with most of your post except this part.
