Gym rats are a curious subset of humans. Sure, we are technically a part of the same species, but personally speaking, I could not feel more distant from someone who frequents the gym more than five times a week, and even that is excessive to me. 

One of the best aspects of the internet, and there are occasionally some good things about it, is that you can come to understand people who are different from you through articles, social media, and, of course, memes. These memes for gym rats taught me more about the culture of exercise than any amount of time I have spent on a treadmill or lifting weights. 

With all this in mind, this collection of memes, tweets, and fails is catered to those of you who benchpress on the regular as well as those of you like me who seek to better understand the bench-pressing type. Keep scrolling below for the full list. When you're done, feel free to take a look at this collection of poorly designed objects that are impossible to clean.
