Random Talk

[Polident]

tl;dr I go to a private gym that allows unconventional characters to use it. As a baseline, most chain gyms here are no tattoos, a lax dress code of baggy clothing for men and women, limited equipment if you want to lift heavy, etc. So you tend to get outliers. Power lifters. Pro body fascists. Women who want to wear spandex going up their ass crack. Men who want to show off their (nonexistent) arms.

But this year I’ve been going later and there are unironically yakuza crews rolling in. The senior member is usually weak and the, I dunno, underlings? do everything from changing plates to fluffing his ego. The times the boss doesn’t show up, they’re lifting a lot heavier. But when he’s present, they jump on the same weights and pretend it’s heavy. 

Once I helped the boss guy (who was wearing gucci and balenciaga…) with a new machine. He says “sank you!” And the underlings legit clap and go “Wow. Perfect English. Amazing!!”
