Thanks for watching!
A few people asked for more actionable advice in videos, but I don't want to make them any more boring😂
So I have started putting together free guides for videos where it fits.

It's all clout-chasing, ragebait bs. They aren't there to work out, they are there to incite and film, and get their "big break". Pure toxicity.

[timgehrsitz]

Rage bait. Rage content. It's all just pushed by the algorithm cuz it gets engaged with (not just hypothetically, this is literally how those algorithms work). Wanna fix this? Find the button on whatever social media it is and say "ignore posts like this" or "do not recommend this content". Block the channel, user, subreddit, whatever. All it does is make you angry at someone you've never encountered, someone you never would've even known about before. Your life is so much easier when random people don't dictate your mood, because the small boost of feeling better than others is outweighed by the arguing, the anger, the helplessness.

I go to an MMA gym that doubles as a bodybuilding gym. Everyone is very respectful cause there’s a sparring cage right in the middle and you never know who can f you up

[davehall]

This is why I don't use social media. It warps your perspective of everyone around you, when in reality the vast majority of people are decent and respectful.

[kamo]

"alpha male is astrology for men" bro you destroyed so many with such few words. that was poetic

[stonkr]

I go in, I keep my head down, I don't talk to anyone, I don't smile at anyone, they're all dead to me. Man, home gyms can be tough.

[friendly]

I'm glad that, for whatever reason, my gym isn't like this. And it's a big box gym too. Everyone is respectful and just leaves others alone, young or old, skinny or built, gymrat or newbie. I've never seen anyone get confrontational with anybody nor ridicule anybody.

[bruhman]

it's why im so afraid to go to gyms, let alone outside gyms, i train at home, not anything bodybuilding like, just to stay strong and fit.

Kudos to all of those humble and actually open minded individuals in gyms 🙏

[tgs]

Many gym have a strict no filming policy that is rarely enforced....📵

[VampireSylphy]

My gym has a strict no filming policy and they will literally kick you out if you do so which is something all gyms should do. Also if there's a tripod in your way try "accidentally" knocking it down and apologizing in a sarcastic passive aggressive manner that will get them riled up and turn the whole gym against them if they act out.

[sydwelltlhola]

This stupidity is slowly creeping into the gyms here in South Africa.

2:53 "If anything, i'm looking at your boyfriend"

I WHEEZED SO HARD at this LMAO

[knobjob]

I feel old posting this, but I remember watching social media in general enter the gym space. More and more friends became more self obsessed with taking pics.

The gym used to be like a public bathroom. We are all here to do something hard, smelly, and undignified. Do your business and go.

[ScallywagArtist]

I used to look at everyone in the gym. Its what I do when I'm out in crowded places, I look at people. There's nothing wrong with it, in fact its an important thing to do to stay safe. It's also an important thing to do in any place where you can learn from others.

[BaddogSports]

Luckily for me, in the 13 years I’ve been going to my gym, it’s extremely rare to see anyone filming.
And if they do, they don’t disturb anyone

[Ingwerbrot]

I don’t go to Gym anymore, I work out at home. Just better .

[francescofulghieri]

the one of the guy like “girl i’m looking at your mans 😭 “ was the funniest to me

[nickg]

I stay in shape at home, at the beach and on my dirtbikes, dont want to have to deal with any of these drama queens.Good one Josh, as a middle aged man watching society collapse you give good advice to the young.

[K.H.A.Y.A.L.I]

I just hate such people.I was 100 kg at 5 foot height at once. I have improved myself, survied diseases and I am 65 kg at 5'8". But the problem is that everyone tries to mock me as I am weak as hell because I was a couch potato and I am becoming stronger every day. It is really hard to keep yourself motivated.
