Yesterday, at the gym I saw the most montrous dude I have ever seen. Seriously, everybody was in awe of this dude....he was at least 280 pounds of pure muscles. After ten minutes of him lifting and everyone keeping a safe distance from him, this kid next to me goes up to him and says ,"dude you're the biggest f**cking guy I've seen in my life, props to you!" Then this hulk turns to the kid and says, with the most passive voice, "thanks, I appreciate it but in life I have found that the only muscle that reveals anything about a man's character is his heart." He then proceeded to bench 315 a dozen times with ease. Definitely one of the coolest things I've heard.

MORAL OF THE STORY: I've been going to the gym again....ladies, hit me up xD

My friend has a physical disability and he goes to the gym. The last time I went to the gym, a guy with a physical disability came in and everyone looked at him, but not in a bad way, more in an admirable way. I thought very highly of the guy for coming in despite his disability and knowing full well that he'd get stares. I said to my mum "see, there's no excuses" and there isn't. There's so many able bodied people who don't exercise whilst there are those with disabilities who wish they could run. When I had an injury, all I wanted to do was go outside, enjoy the sun and just run for as long as I could (no, I'm not Forrest Gump). You want what you can't have and you take for granted what you do have.

This is a personal story. But what I learnt from it is - forgiving someone can be easy if you want it.

Like I know someone who hurt a close relative and betrayed their trust. But the relative chose to be there for them in the time of need. Knowing what type of person they were

[CourtJester]

That is pretty inspiring :)

The only thing that motivated me to go to the gym was because I needed to train my body to have longer stamina. I've been in the military, worked for a moving company, and hauled triple trailers that carried giant pipes in Alaska. Those jobs required me to be restless.

Now I just do workouts and exercises for aesthetics.

aesthetics over everthanggg!

d00d last week I saw this Asian guy, he's not even big, he's probably ripped and slightly jacked the most, small calves and legs, but the mutherfucker was deadlifting 8 plates with relative ease! I was like holy fuck d00d, he just kept going and going and going, perfect form. holy shit.

I don't know about "inspiring"
but i saw a man who thought he was huge... tiny vest on, flexing every 30 secs... don't get me wrong, he was a chunky chap... but then you see his shorts... neon green and inside out.
made me chuckle a bit

someone must have told him as he trotted off to the toilet and came back in jogging bottoms lol

[CourtJester]

Fashion and muscle... one cannot have both lol.

[Hephaestus]

true, but being in such a rush to hit the gym... that your sweet neon green bike shorts go inside out? :p
dang... gain dedication too strong

[CourtJester]

Dang bro, you go hard xD

I see old people who are in their 70`s and really fit and occasionally some people with physical impairments working up strength after surgery with trainers. These guys help you to keep motivated and get you to the gym those days were you just want to lay in bed chilling

Once I went to the gym.
Then I decided chunky is ok.
