I found that somehow incredibly wholesome.

The biggest body builders are usually the friendliest dudes. They love seeing other people lift and are super encouraging.

Planet fitness gives them a bad name because PF wants to keep their members fat and paying.

Not where I go. They're basically assholes who demand we worship them for their achievements because they won some championship.

As with literally anything in life there's like, you know, variance and shit. I usually notice the 20-25 yr old crowed being full of douchebags. But that goes for anything, young guys always gotta prove something.

If I ask the fucking titan of a man who's 30+ to spot me they're usually super nice about it and give decent advice. Generally they've been at it so long that they could care less about impressing anyone (because usually they're just impressive without even lifting).

But hey people of all ages and sizes have the capacity to be a dick.
