Don’t be toxic at the gym. People are there to improve themselves.

This is exactly how us Chads are, yes.

I can’t do the standard gym but bouldering gym is recommended. I used to have a membership to climb whenever at any location of that gym and found people are super happy to give advice and discuss the ‘beta’.

Disclaimer: I had taken a class like a decade earlier and gotten somewhat used to responding non-akwardly to people unexpectedly talking to me by the time I started going to the gym. I also went almost every day, sometimes to multiple locations. Some days I spoke to nobody, other days I got roped into group discussions on technique and posititoning. The climbing related strength training stuff people just recommended youtubers to me for the how to instead of giving potentially harmful advice.

Fuck the haters at the gym. Fucking creeps.

Don’t put yourself down for trying. The people who don’t try will never get better, you have a chance at it if you never give up on yourself.
