>tfw its New Years soon and the normies will be in the gym
As a first year lifter what can I expect?
some new people there because of le New Years Resoultion xD
Then you will begin seeing them less and less and eventually it will only be the same people.

Can we just make it illegal to join a gym in January?
>>39740728
Yes but its not the same. I used to chat them and I made a few friends in the gym.
Still not going back.
>>39740752
You joined in January too you fucking twat
>>39740792
I have plenty of friends; i don't lift to make friends

Depends on what type of gym you go to.
YMCA=chaos
I think in 2014 they reported >50% of their income from January alone.
It never gets better, just go to the gym in the early AM for a month or so.

Do qts show up more regularly around new years?
Just switched over from home gym last year so this is my first new years at a gym.

My gym has a dingy bodybuilding feel to it (dark lighting, tons of free weights), amd it does a pretty good job of keeping normies at a distance, so while the NYR crowd does come, it is much less burdensome than most gyms, and I think they leave quicker too.
Im expecting normies to get blown the fuck out, and the overconfident normies to embarrass or injure themselves trying to copy or keep up with me.

If a normies looks at you and thinks thay can compete, then you my friend are a normie.

I'm a small guy 2bh, 5'6 and lift at 69kg
Overconfident normies always overestimate their abilities, I know I did when I started, thought I would be strong as shit because I had a six pack.
I both hate and love New Year’s. Every January we get a huge load of qts (along with usual hamplanets but idc about them) who just want to lose a pound or three, or tone up their bodies just a bit. 90% of them leave by mid-feb at the latest because they can’t be arsed anymore, but one or two stay and become serious about lifting, every time.
It’s like watching a documentary narrated by Morgan Freeman, with tits and half-orgasmic PR-breaking grunts. When I joined it was a pure sausage party, now we’re even (or even more females when owner’s sis hops in). At this rate I’ll literally not be able to do flies without hitting sweaty breasts on either side by 2018 kek

Im a small but strong lifter, big boys and small boys all the time try to compete with me
ESPECIALLY on deadlifts, OHP, and rows
