Gym realness memes

I'm going to be really honest with you all: I thought I was going to get my 'gym results' much faster. I mean, it's been a year, and all I can say is that I look more athletic overall, but you cannot exactly pinpoint why. Look, in the end I'm only doing it for my silly little mental health.

To be fair, I only go three times a week, and I don't do protein shakes or anything. I try to stay natural, but hey! This is a lot for me; I never thought I would commit for so long! And I'm not planning to quit. So please, don't let those Instagram Gigachads get you down! You're right where you're supposed to be in your fitness journey, learning and strengthmaxxing one kettlebell at a time.

Ohh, I remember those first few days when I couldn't walk at all the next morning- such beautiful memories. With time, my goals have changed, and I only wish to become stronger and  able to lift my body weight, just in case I need to do it one day, like if I'm hanging from a really tall tree or something, lol.

Honestly, at this point, I only go to achieve the post-gym happiness and to remove myself from work stress and the computer. Weren't we humans supposed to move more than we typically do in our modern lives? We were never supposed to be sitting all day! We're supposed to be lifting! 

Either way, I sincerely hope you have a laugh with these memes specifically curated for old and new gymbros and sisters who still find themselves lifting weights every other day and avoiding the fitness influencer's cameras!
