Bro is spitting facts Some people feel accomplished just by going to the gym which is great, but Building a great physique is only a fraction of self improvement. Great Video, you are so knowledgeable and all of your topics are relatable. Much Respect. You will definitely blow up for how genuine your videos are. God bless you
Dude really doesn't know what he's talking about and uses no science to back it up. Hitting a hard gym session helps balance hormones, reduce inflammation, promotes healthy metabolism and helps sleep patterns. If you say it's mostly just about looks, just stop. All this coming from a dude that achieved a mid physique. Weak af.
Yep, I have been a nerd, a gymrat, and a balance of both in my life. From experience I can tell that for normie people gymcels are much more cringe than nerds. Most people can understand the benefits of studying a lot about one or more topics but they cannot understand the benefit of deadlifting 400 pounds. And to be fair there aren't that many. Once you are 5-10 pounds of mass away from hitting your natty potential you already look like a greek god to the common man and you will be better off spending your energy on other endeavors.
What is up with the clowing for wearing a hoodie? I wear a hoodie with my hood on because i wanna stay focused on whats in front of me and lock in, not get disby my surroundings. Doesn’t mean i think im am anime character 🙄
Definitely hurts to know looking good physically doesn't equal success. Socialising is difficult with autism but I make the push to say hello to everyone on my morning run (after my weights), making difficult talks with job interviews (searching for a new job) and always practicing my smile. At home I practice for my esports team which is also a serious commitment since a younger age. The worst part is actually waking up early in the morning to do all these things I want. I do not want only my body to define my identity. Keep grinding Kings
good looking sperg here. can confirm having good looks and being tall means nothing if youre on the spectrum. were socially screwed for life and need our copes. preferably copes we can do in isolation
Bro, it really is. Since I got in shape, my self-esteem has grown. But at the same time, I can't walk past the mirror without body-checking and counting the time from and to the next workout. Training has become my only hobby outside of school.
Bro i talk to 0 women ive gone to the gym thinking itll get me girls i constantly feel bad about my physique thinking it could be better i do nothing outside of school except sleep or work out
I believe that bodybuilding/powerlifting/olympic lifting etc, have this effect on us because it's a area of life that you really have control over, it all comes down to YOUR choices, what you eat, if you drink or not, how you sleep, stretching/mobility work, cardio, the right periodization. If you do well, it's because of your choices, if you don't, still because of you. You don't have a team to support you if you made a mistake, you don't have a team to carry the weight of failure with you, if you fuck up, it' because of your choices, that you are where you are. We are all gonna make it boys, godspeed.
I agree, everything else is out of your control, you can do everything perfect in a relationship and still be cheated on, you can be a great entrepreneur and still fail at your business, but the gym is an aspect of life where hard work and consistency is rewarded. You’ll never get punished for doing everything right in fitness.
i dont have controll over having a body type that doesnt gain weight even with a 3000kcal a day diet and makes me look like i dont work out after working out for a year
@@eskaban_edits_beats_and_more but you do have control over eating more. Stop making excuses "oh my gawd, my metabolism is so fast". Dude, there is always a punk like you with this weak ass talk. Go eat some bread.
I have lived the gymcel lifestyle for the past 8 years, had to make Zyzz proud. Gym feels good when I'm there, but it has become hard to find motivation because I have achieved the body that I wanted before I started working out. Now, what motivates me is girls, but like this video points out I have zero social skills when it comes to girls. I only go to the gym now because I know girls I am interested in will be there, and I tell myself "Maybe this time I will talk to her".. Then I go home and feel like shit when I'm done cause of course I didn't talk to her. But then I make myself feel better by flexing in the mirror "At least I look good" :)
I used to workout every day for 2.5 years, from 2016 to 2019, it was a sweet time. I lived on a low budget, but I was happy. It's not that bad being detached from society, you have small talks with gym bros every day, they recognize your gainz, you aren't obsessed with tinder, endorphins are in their highest levels to relieve muscular pain. You are literally happy because trees are growing or the sun exists.
I wish I could give this comment a thousand likes. There’s nothing wrong with being detached from society. For some of us societal expectations (like read books, self improvements, dream careers etc) ramp up our anxiety. While we are trying to achieve all these self improvement bs, we are not even sure we will have a safe 🌍 to inhabit or leave for future generations. Spare me the self improvement bs plz. There are other things like nature that are bigger than any one human self improvement. Yes, I do distance or detach from society bs every now & again. Call me whatever “cel” u want to call. Working out may be the only escape I have found worth while and may not be interested in the other stuff normal humans are expected to accomplish. The one thing I know is I’m happy with who I am and whom I’m growing to become - a person that genuinely care about others even those those yet unborn. This to me is more satisfying than self improvement in order to satisfy the expectations of society.
@@bicycles-as-far-as-im-aliv5725 I think learning to not live by the expectations of society is a part of self improvement. However, thinking that you can accomplish everything by yourself, and that you don't need any other people, is narcissistic. The beauty of friendship, love and acceptance is worth chasing IMO. Fitting in with others is a good thing, and you can still be your own person that doesn't do what others expect of you.
Yep, this is literally me. The past 6 months I fell in love with working out, but it’s the only important part of my day . I’ve developed a lot physically and gained a lot of attraction from some of the girls at my gym… however I don’t have the social skills to follow up on any of it. Even with the physical improvements I don’t have any greater self acceptance, maybe even less as I’m constantly critiquing my physique and stature. I love the pump, but I’ve started to hate the gym because I feel like I have to purposefully ignore people to keep my state being in the safe place it already is. It’s very frustrating. I know the only way to get over the wall is to break through it, but if I had to talk to a girl I was attracted too rn I’d probably have a partial panic attack. It’s funny too cuz I don’t look like the kind of person that would. Thanks for the vid. Really trying to change my life currently.
Build it up man. If you're intimidated by girls start talking to other guys in the gym first, maybe ask for a spot or something, talk to elderly people at the grocery store etc. Once you get in the habit of just talking to random people you will soon learn that there is nothing to be intimidated about
Also one thing I’ve learned is that most girls are more insecure than guys and that they are probably more worried about themselves than judging you for anything you say
Even if you have the social skills, people are more and more distant, women will typically only go for those they already know, i'd be willing to argue social circles matter most, but a good physique is definitely a start.
Your doing it for yourself not the energy drain sucking girls plus most just want to use you for attention you ain't finding thr right women for you til you fully 100% improve yourself in all areas do it for yourself ! Not the damn girls all we think about is women women women that's why we can never put all the energy into ourself Kings do better
Greg, you just opened my eyes. I’ve been taking self improvement seriously the past few months but I’ve started to slip into the gymcel mindset the past few weeks. Thanks for the motivation to get back into the self improvement grind. You’ve earned my subscription!
I’m in my mid 30’s. I’m not interested in making friends or getting laid so my personality isn’t that important to me. Im fine with just getting in better shape because that’s my only goal. I got a roof over my head, clothes on my back and food in my stomach and I make enough money to survive and live relatively comfortable. So as far as Im concerned, all the other stuff is a waste of time. But to each their own. Live and let live
Dan you are the man , these TH-cam channels love to preach but don't practice Gyms have memberships that cost money everyone who goes too the gym has a job , this video is like saying IF ALL YOU DO IS WAKE UP AND GO TO WORK AND GO TO GYM UR A WORKCEL GYMCEL No I do all that and visit my family sometimes too , there is a lot worse thing so obsess over , I think the gym is a great obsession and shouldn't be discouraged Some of us are busy
Have you actually had friends who invite you out wakeboarding on the lake in summer with girls, put together raves at house parties, and go e-biking, 4x4ing, build projects together, etc? Who are better at investment and business than you because they are successful and not a poor loser like you? I think you're severely underestimating the benefits of other people
@@taylorg8509 most of us wake up to work and then sleep. and some even are diehards who can workout after work. it actually is workcel gymcel life but 99% of us dont have any other choice
Absolute fact, but it goes even deeper than that, pulling girls and being rich won't give you the fulfillment you seek either, take it from someone who pulls moderately and is financially more responsible than 95% of his circle, the biggest difference ultimately is how you see yourself, and that won't necessarily change through manipulating external factors but may have to be addressed directly. For me, I always expected myself to reach my maximum potential every moment. So rest was only possible when nothing else was possible. I was constantly burning myself out. If I sat at home alone, I'd go insane after a few hours because I'd guilt trip myself for all the good things I am not doing. So I kept socialising and looking for things to work on, not only keeping the cycle alive, but also trying to capitalise on opportunities which were really not worth it, purely to run away from self loathing... Your story may be different, but all self improvement is useless if it does not ultimately result in a positive relationship to yourself.
Hey GZ. This is my first time ever watching one of your videos, and I have to say that my jaw is on the floor right now. I’m 26, and this is the first time I’ve come across someone who could articulate that feeling that nagged me in the back of my mind; the feeling that no matter how much harder I pushed myself or how much longer I did it for per day, it just resulted in exhaustion and a depressed life. I’ve even hated the gym at some points, because going did absolutely nothing for the other aspects of my life the way I did it. Listening to you speak reminds me of times that I’ve had opportunities with people and life in general, and how ill prepared I was for those things because all I ever worked on was my body. I may never get those exact opportunities back, which saddens me, but now I know what it is I have to try and work on. I don’t want working out to be the only decent thing about my life. Thank you for helping me say that.
@@Bodysmorphia it really is, i mean it isnt like im only a dude who works out all day, but my schedule does revolve around my workout time and thats my priority, its not that i dont think there are good women out there, i know there are and i wish them all the best, however what are the odds the chick ill pull is the one that will be a good mother to whatever kids we may have and would be a good wife to me? because the upside is great: if i pull a good chick life will get 10x happier...but what if it isnt a good chick? what if she falsely accused me(happened once already and i only walked because of literal camera footage proving me innocent), what if they just go ¨i dont feel romance anymore¨ and divorce me for no reason and take half my shit? what if we have kids and she takes them away? theres just so much good shit that can go wrong and while the upside is great the risks are so high that it doesnt make it worth it for me to risk it! did i wanted a family and kids? yeah absolutely im catholic its literally in my religion! can i afford to tank the risks in the worse possible scenarios? no not really, some of these are worse then death. so really what is there left for me to do other then working out, make money, stick to my hobbies and just be alone? its not the BEST LIFE EVER but its peaceful and somewhat fulfilling.
If you are under 25 you should be enjoying life with your friends as much you can whether that’s through travel, partying or doing stuff together. You can still take the gym seriously and get good results but not at the expense of missing out on experiences you should be experiencing in your youth. Once you get in to your late 20s and especially early 30s everyone’s life gets way busier because that is when most people start getting married, having young kids, really start to progress in their careers and that’s also when priorities really start changing in life overall. The gym will always be there no matter what point you are at in life.
I am a pretty introverted guy and I have always used this as an excuse for not talking to people. Now I realize that humans are social creatures. I avoided social situations and talking to people because “I am an introvert”. Now I realize that I can talk to people but I just don’t need as much social interaction so a little goes a long way. Love the video by the way bro keep going ❤
The key is to train with absolute focus and intensity during your gym session then the moment you’ve finished let go of it and focus on your business and social endeavours. The problem arises when it becomes an obsession to the point where it’s all you think about and then you’re just losing your entire personality to the gym lifestyle. As long as you train hard and provide your body with excellent nutrition, you only need to spend 1/2 hours in the day thinking about fitness. The rest of your brain power can be used towards elevation and evolution in other areas ⚡️🧬
thanks for waking me up from it king, been neglecting all the tasks of creating art for the sole purpose that i didnt know where to start and id compensate by saying i was too busy and at least i was working out.
I didn't know that I needed this video but I did. I'm just starting my self improvement journey and I've been focusing heavy on the exercise aspect but the rest of my day I'm on TH-cam or playing video games while listening to music. We should all strive to be better in every aspect of our being
Wow I started 2.5 years ago and I’m 23 this couldn’t have hit me at a better time. Didn’t know I needed this. I’m this guy rn. The Feed was on point today. Good content brotha. Subscribing.
Absolutely amazing video, if I think about it, it’s true. I’ve been using the gym as a coping mechanism for bad mental health. This deserves to go viral
You just earned a sub my friend. This video really hit home for me, I feel like you were speaking to me specifically as I have had an issue with obsessing over the gym far too much. I think a lot of self improvement channels say the gym is somehow gonna fix everything and while maybe for some guys it does, it certainly doesn’t for me. Having a good physique is great and I think necessary if you want to look better, but at the end of the day it’s just one aspect of you and there’s more to life than just muscles. Also it’s totally doable to work out 4-6 days a week and still have a busy life with other stuff going on. The gym should really only be 1-2 hours in a day at most and not every day imo.
People work 10 hour days now. 50 hours a week. Add an hour or 2 in the gym and there's literally no time to do anything else. The economy is in such a bad state that most of us guys are going to struggle all our lives. The only way out is to sacrifice everything, earn as much money as possible and get the fuck out. Invest in a property, put it up for rent and travel the world cheap.
If you go to a commercial or university gym it's actually a great place to also work on your social skills whilst you're working on your body as you're around a bunch of people with a common interest. You can practice talking to people whilst you're in between sets/exercises (and obviously make sure they're also in between sets/exercises too). A friendly smile and eye contact is key. Easy conversational starters I've found are making a polite observation/give a compliment/ask for advice about an exercise someone is doing or gym accessory someone is using, asking people what their training today and what their training routine is, whether they're training for a sport or competition etc. The easiest people to start with are the receptionist, gym instructors/personal trainers as it's their job to ensure customers are satisfied and they'll happily have a chat, most fellow gymbros are also generally up for a chat. Generally when other people see you're a social person they'll be more likely to open up and start a conversation with you too.
Unironically be yourself bro. As a young man people are gonna shame you, and you're gonna shame yourself. It's on you to become who you are without that internal guilt. Just know things take time.
I’m grateful as I’m sure many other young men are that we have access to men who care about being a leadership figure to those younger. You and others have taught me more than I’ve learned in school
Thanks for this man. The mental aspect is very true…. I have very good self discipline when it comes to going to the gym consistently and I have shaped my body closer to my dream physique , but I have been struggling with an addiction with adult content for the longest time, and my self discipline for that wasn’t enough and ruined relationships… I’m currently trying everything I can to completely overcome that while continuing my journey at the gym.
The same happened to me the last few months, I became gym cell and after a few injuries that I had just realized gym is just a hobby and part of my life, but I don’t live for the gym is just one good habit more, I wanna change it and start back old habits I have forgot just for focus in the gym and Yt
Wow, guess this was the first time that TH-cam actually gave an useful recommendation to me. I'm one of these individuals, can be disciplined when in it comes to going to the gym and do sports, but in terms of studying and building connections I struggle. This was a good wake up call. Congrats on the video mate, hope that we all can improve and achieve what we want, even if it seems too difficult at times.
Great job with this video. I think a lot of men have this issue but this is the first video I've seen of someone talking about it. I'm guilty of focusing almost exclusively on my physical appearance but neglect trying to talk to women or people in general. I suppose it's just easier to work out than approach people (the gym can't reject you). This video has definitely inspired me to start looking at other ways to be better, not just hitting the gym. Thanks bro
Shit. I'm definitely in this state. I work out, go to work, get home and then just slump. My social skills have become shit and I figured maybe I didn't look good enough for any attention yet. Lots of guys say they get some looks their way, but I can't help but feel that I don't and that's why I'm so focused on looking better. Im going to work on changing my relationship with the gym and more on myself out of it. Good video bro
I had no problem getting women when I was a straight up junkie who wallowed in negativity and wasn't going anywhere. 3 years after getting sober and hitting the gym 6 days a week in currently in the longest dry spell I've ever had. The pandemic hasn't helped and moving back to my parents house in my small rural hometown hasn't either.
It’s strange When I was getting High and fapping everyday living with my grandparents no car working at Burger King I actually got a lot of play with pretty cute girls now 2 years later have my own place drive a nice car good job gym 6 days a week sober I hardly get laid
Hahaha I can't believe I got recommended this. For like the last 2 years I have actually been conflicted with my avidness for gym time but nullness for almost anything else. I love working out and I love being obsessed about vitamins, nutrition, and idioine and oxidation , but I'm also broke and less devoted in my personal career matters. It rly is simple to slip into a slack routine like hitting the gym and blessing yr body. But if yr not cultivating yourself all around, or in key areas of ur life u end up at risk of being xyz but with nice physique.
"Over the past couple of months working out has been my ONLY good habit..." Dude, this is so true! Far too many people think "I work out" is the beginning and end of self development; and because they have a good physique, or a 315 bench, the ignore the fact that every other area of their life is a dumpster fire. (I used to be one of them. 😅)
This is good advice . I used to fall down the same trap and feel a false sense of accomplishment just from training everyday and getting bigger. But it’s important to apply the same discipline in other aspects of life that are more important
if you put in the work and you get visual feedback (getting muscular, getting stronger). It's just proof that if you put your mind to a certain thing, you can archive it no matter how hard the journey might be. This carries over to all the rest of life edit: bro squats in the smith machine 💀
True but I don't think planet fitness has free weights, also planet fitness is ass but they're one of your only options if you want to workout in a gym and are on a budget
Great video. So many smaller self improvement channels are just clones of more successful ones and repeat the same information. But this channel feels genuinely unique and I'm grateful this video got recommended to me.
that kinda is me I guess I read sometime but do pretty much nothing else good except meeting my friends regularly but I'm so happy right now I improved a lot in the couple months and really proud I overcame my social anxiety by exposing myself to it
It’s fair to say as a recent gymcel myself, we KNOW and are aware of what we should be doing and yet here we are 😂. Bros, we gotta set our priorities and go after them in order. There’s no other way out of it we gotta be disciplined is all aspects not just the gym. Think of the gym and healthy lifestyle as the first step. We all gonna make it brahs!
Damn. Great video man! While thankfully I’m not a gymcel, I really liked your point about how physically improving yourself through exercise was hard/uncomfortable at first, and the same thing applies to mentally/emotionally improving yourself. I’ll keep this in mind whenever I’m complaining about studying for tech interviews or going to therapy! Keep up the good work!
There are ways around it tho. There's always something that can be done. As someone who has antisocial traits, I will always find a way to make use of my time except socializing. I won't do it unless I really have to. I have a few select friends and I'm fine with that
I just wanted to say thank you. This video was very insightful. I feel like I had gone through this for quite some time and didn't realize that I still needed to work on other factors of my life. This really helped me to look back on my past to better know how to handle the future.
Really good vid, man. I experienced all of this myself since I started working out a year and a half ago because of how skinny I was. I've made some pretty good gains but it became my only good habit and I even wondered why that discipline didn't translate to other aspects of my life. Right now, I have my priorities in order, work out in the morning, go to college to do my best, spend time with my girlfriend and other friends at church. Glad I was able to notice this problem before it was too late.
why would anyone apply labels to themselves that don’t do them any good bro? being cognizant of who you are and your personal progress is important but calling yourself “incel” or a “gymcel” only raises your self awareness to a level that doesn’t give you a good base for improvement in other areas. but that’s just my opinion.
I actually agree with your point here, the overuse of these labels definitely can make people hyper-aware of their shortcomings. My goal with this video was to call out young men (like myself) who become complacent with life because they work out, but I can definitely see the negative side
Sometimes it's like we rather feel physical pain than mental pain. I like to do extreme stuff like Bungie jumpung, climbing in high trees, kickboxing. But i hated it to talk to strangers. I rather getting beaten up than getting socially humiliated.
Thank you for this video dawg, this was very important for me. When I started my self improvement journey, I was studying Spanish, working out, meditating, reading, journaling, and everything in between. However, 2 and half years later, the only habit that I’ve kept up with is lifting and Spanish every now and then since Spanish is minor in college. The funny thing is, u would think that since I started lifting, I’m a pre-med student in college, and I want to learn a language that the bad habits would stop. Nope. Masturbating is still everyday, going to sleep late is still everyday, eating junk food is still everyday, I still have a social media addiction, and I still play video games too much. This video was a wake up call for me because the gym is the ONLY thing I’ve been consistent in when it comes to improving myself. I’ve had women give me more looks because of my body, but like others, I’ve never capitalized because I still have a lingering fear of rejection, even tho the muscles should have gave me confidence. I need to get back into those good habits I used to consistently do, and you just gained a subscriber from this video. Praise to you and your family❤️
I really recommend going to competitions for whatever fitness thing it is you like to do, strongman, powerlifting, crossfit, bodybuilding, Highland games, Olympic lifting etc. it's a really natural way to meet new people and make friends and you have something easy to make conversation about. These all have really nice people and great communities.
Sir, this video hit the spot. I could potentially define myself as a bit of a gymcel due to the fact I avoid partying and alcohol in order to retain my physical fitness. This of course comes at a major disadvantage; I feel like most encounters with females, as sad as it sounds, come from the partying environment. Or at least, you're less vulnerable talking to people of the opposite sex there. While working out and being somewhat productive (school) isn't really a problem for me, conveying feeling towards women and picking up "chicks" is. My social game isn't even that bad I think, just needs some polishing. Thanks!
@@bonkersdonkers7381 True. But somehow, my brain convinced me that if I were to talk to a girl at my school, I would be the weirdo, and that this wouldn't be appropriate. I thinkt this stems from todays dating culture, which is after all, heavily focused on social media n stuff. But oh well, better to try than not to...
@@hitmonlee6062 don’t think about it too much. I do the same thing, but remember, be urself be fun. It takes work, talk to other guys first if ur a guy, or if ur a girl talk to other girls. Everyone deals with it, both genders. Don’t stress about it too much, just relax man👍
lmao calling women “females” is a fkn red flag, i’d consider you an incel just for saying that. if you see a woman just as any other perosn then you wouldn’t have an issue speaking to them. y’all think women are just there to fuck
It's good to see someone calling out this type of behavior and giving a name to it. Physical fitness is important to maintain a healthy body but if that's the only significant thing you are doing to better yourself than you are a shallow and unproductive person. I went to high school with a few people who are in good shape but are almost 30 now, still working minimum wage jobs, and still living with their parents and they don't seem to see a problem with that lifestyle. Discipline when it comes to physical fitness is good but discipline in life is way more beneficial.
You should work on self improving your mind along with your physical body. You NEED to work on both of these or you will always stay in phase 1 no matter how much you workout.
For the past year, I have been getting into working out. Being obsessed with it, though, is a better term to describe my state. It feels really good to work out, feeling as if I have done something positive to change my life. Yes, it is a positive change, since I have been inactive all my life- but working out is just what I have been doing for the last year. I do study at school, but studying, to me, doesn't help me grow as a person. It's what experience in the real world do... Working out made me felt as if I had done something productive and change that past way of life, but in reality, nothing really changed. Still that past social-awkward me from a year ago, except with a few extra pounds of muscle. Well, I have been thinking about that for a while. But thanks to your video, I finally decided what is truly best for myself. Thanks for the video.
If you can read what’s written on the wall, you can also see how the gym is nothing, how the bar has risen the last couple years and going to the gym now is normie behavior, prey and predator graphic, no safe place left and basically the next big thing will also end up with a -cel attached to it, the only zenit of self improvement is either Monk like spirit or money millionaire, everything else will become a "-cel"
Working out is mental too don’t get it twisted stop saying non-sense. Majority of people that workout are more mentally stable than others. Working out and being consistent transfers to many aspects in life. Stop bullshitting yourself and stop making it seem like being in the gym for hours is bad. In self improvement you have little control over your financial situation but FULL control over how you look.
Sorry, but as articulate as this all sounds, you can't deny that looks gets you through the door. Maybe you have had the luxury of a lifestyle where you don't get contemptuous looks of rejection or lines like "I have a boyfriend" to blow you off. Maybe you don't understand how many of us can feel disadvantaged over things beyond our control (e.g., height, skin color, facial features). Without the gym lifestyle, we can't even hope for a more fulfilling life because the cold hard truth is that we live in a judgmental and intensely vicious world that rewards certain characteristics over others. It's the only hope for change.
Oh my god, this hits right where it needs to I started to experience most of these "symptoms" if you will - the ignorance towards my other responsibilities, the arrogance and that basically working out is my only way to make me feel good about myself, and gain some validation. So thank you good sir, for making me self-reflect a little bit
The biggest struggle I wish someone would give me an answer to is Where do I go after not realizing I'm good at anything, In the back of my mind i know there's something I can do, but My circumstances are Keeping me from it, and It looks like I have more than a while to Get me somewhere. I don't want to come out as Asking for pity, or something pathetic like that. But I just feel like I have no idea on what to do. And It has taken a toll on me where i tried to take my own life. I physically, and mentally am on my own with this because I wasn't really good at anything in highschool. And realizing that makes me want to do it again, but I don't want to and take action to better it. I just don't know where to start.
That's a big thing that a lot of us incels have to come to terms with. Most people are good at, at least one thing. Incels are typically untalented, autistic, and awkward, and in general are not good at anything. It's one of the reasons we're incels. It goes to a lot of what Jordan Peterson says. Just find something that you can tolerate. Something that you can imagine yourself doing, that's not going to kill your soul too much, doing, and gives you some work life balance so you can recharge. The hard part about life is that it's a bugged-out game with way too many options, and nothing lights up when you choose the right option.
@@sexygothgorrilla I don't think you need talent to get laid. You just need to be socially normal and look attractive enough. The reason incels are incels is usually due to looks.
Gymcels would rather 4 sets of 12 bulgarian split squats than do 2 sets of 3 mins of talking to a girl (that’s literally me)

Otherwise duchebags and physically abusive dudes wouldn't get touched but instead they are fetishized.
Dude really doesn't know what he's talking about and uses no science to back it up. Hitting a hard gym session helps balance hormones, reduce inflammation, promotes healthy metabolism and helps sleep patterns. If you say it's mostly just about looks, just stop. All this coming from a dude that achieved a mid physique. Weak af.
I have a girlfriend, but I needed this video!!
I kept thinking about this recently, being just a nerd is a bad, but being just a gym bro is the same thing
i think it’s slightly better off, but only slightly
to be honest, I still consider myself a nerd when it comes to certain things, only instead of a gaming nerd, I'm more of a bodybuilding nerd 🤷♂️
@@gz9454 yeah I think Ballance is good so we have multiple things going for us
🤦🏻♂️, now we making everything is bad. The gym is the main thing nowadays. It’s mainly about looks
Yep, I have been a nerd, a gymrat, and a balance of both in my life. From experience I can tell that for normie people gymcels are much more cringe than nerds. Most people can understand the benefits of studying a lot about one or more topics but they cannot understand the benefit of deadlifting 400 pounds. And to be fair there aren't that many. Once you are 5-10 pounds of mass away from hitting your natty potential you already look like a greek god to the common man and you will be better off spending your energy on other endeavors.

"In the gym with his hoodie on thinking he an anime character" had me rolling
Ong😭😭
What is up with the clowing for wearing a hoodie? I wear a hoodie with my hood on because i wanna stay focused on whats in front of me and lock in, not get disby my surroundings. Doesn’t mean i think im am anime character 🙄
@@David_Phoenix23no one is saying you are, I also train with a hoodie. Some people just try to act all mysterious with the hood and all that
Definitely hurts to know looking good physically doesn't equal success. Socialising is difficult with autism but I make the push to say hello to everyone on my morning run (after my weights), making difficult talks with job interviews (searching for a new job) and always practicing my smile. At home I practice for my esports team which is also a serious commitment since a younger age. The worst part is actually waking up early in the morning to do all these things I want. I do not want only my body to define my identity. Keep grinding Kings
Good work man
Bro you got it
Good improvements, hopefully you can get a gf even though you are mentally ill.
good looking sperg here. can confirm having good looks and being tall means nothing if youre on the spectrum. were socially screwed for life and need our copes. preferably copes we can do in isolation
it's definitely brutal bro. Autistic girl can easily find a love whereas autistic man... I feel you my dude
Bro, it really is.
Since I got in shape, my self-esteem has grown. But at the same time, I can't walk past the mirror without body-checking and counting the time from and to the next workout.
Training has become my only hobby outside of school.
@eric Spencer I partly agree with you.
@eric Spencer um .... no, I'm talking about the "quality" of a hobby.
Dude, how about seeing a psychologist?

Bro i talk to 0 women ive gone to the gym thinking itll get me girls i constantly feel bad about my physique thinking it could be better i do nothing outside of school except sleep or work out
I believe that bodybuilding/powerlifting/olympic lifting etc, have this effect on us because it's a area of life that you really have control over, it all comes down to YOUR choices, what you eat, if you drink or not, how you sleep, stretching/mobility work, cardio, the right periodization. If you do well, it's because of your choices, if you don't, still because of you. You don't have a team to support you if you made a mistake, you don't have a team to carry the weight of failure with you, if you fuck up, it' because of your choices, that you are where you are. We are all gonna make it boys, godspeed.
Fuarkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
I agree, everything else is out of your control, you can do everything perfect in a relationship and still be cheated on, you can be a great entrepreneur and still fail at your business, but the gym is an aspect of life where hard work and consistency is rewarded. You’ll never get punished for doing everything right in fitness.
i dont have controll over having a body type that doesnt gain weight even with a 3000kcal a day diet and makes me look like i dont work out after working out for a year
@@eskaban_edits_beats_and_more but you do have control over eating more. Stop making excuses "oh my gawd, my metabolism is so fast". Dude, there is always a punk like you with this weak ass talk. Go eat some bread.

I have lived the gymcel lifestyle for the past 8 years, had to make Zyzz proud.
Gym feels good when I'm there, but it has become hard to find motivation because I have achieved the body that I wanted before I started working out.
Now, what motivates me is girls, but like this video points out I have zero social skills when it comes to girls.
I only go to the gym now because I know girls I am interested in will be there, and I tell myself "Maybe this time I will talk to her"..
Then I go home and feel like shit when I'm done cause of course I didn't talk to her.
But then I make myself feel better by flexing in the mirror "At least I look good" :)
lol thats me even the 8 years are correct^^
U mirin brah?
What a miserable lifestyle
@@aabahdjfisosososos what a miserable comment :)
@@Chriscross1313 Hello my fellow 8 year gymcell veterans. I have found my people🥰
I used to workout every day for 2.5 years, from 2016 to 2019, it was a sweet time. I lived on a low budget, but I was happy. It's not that bad being detached from society, you have small talks with gym bros every day, they recognize your gainz, you aren't obsessed with tinder, endorphins are in their highest levels to relieve muscular pain. You are literally happy because trees are growing or the sun exists.
I wish I could give this comment a thousand likes. There’s nothing wrong with being detached from society. For some of us societal expectations (like read books, self improvements, dream careers etc) ramp up our anxiety. While we are trying to achieve all these self improvement bs, we are not even sure we will have a safe 🌍 to inhabit or leave for future generations. Spare me the self improvement bs plz. There are other things like nature that are bigger than any one human self improvement. Yes, I do distance or detach from society bs every now & again. Call me whatever “cel” u want to call. Working out may be the only escape I have found worth while and may not be interested in the other stuff normal humans are expected to accomplish. The one thing I know is I’m happy with who I am and whom I’m growing to become - a person that genuinely care about others even those those yet unborn. This to me is more satisfying than self improvement in order to satisfy the expectations of society.
@@bicycles-as-far-as-im-aliv5725 I think learning to not live by the expectations of society is a part of self improvement. However, thinking that you can accomplish everything by yourself, and that you don't need any other people, is narcissistic. The beauty of friendship, love and acceptance is worth chasing IMO. Fitting in with others is a good thing, and you can still be your own person that doesn't do what others expect of you.
Yep, this is literally me. The past 6 months I fell in love with working out, but it’s the only important part of my day . I’ve developed a lot physically and gained a lot of attraction from some of the girls at my gym… however I don’t have the social skills to follow up on any of it. Even with the physical improvements I don’t have any greater self acceptance, maybe even less as I’m constantly critiquing my physique and stature. I love the pump, but I’ve started to hate the gym because I feel like I have to purposefully ignore people to keep my state being in the safe place it already is. It’s very frustrating. I know the only way to get over the wall is to break through it, but if I had to talk to a girl I was attracted too rn I’d probably have a partial panic attack. It’s funny too cuz I don’t look like the kind of person that would. Thanks for the vid. Really trying to change my life currently.
Build it up man. If you're intimidated by girls start talking to other guys in the gym first, maybe ask for a spot or something, talk to elderly people at the grocery store etc. Once you get in the habit of just talking to random people you will soon learn that there is nothing to be intimidated about
Also one thing I’ve learned is that most girls are more insecure than guys and that they are probably more worried about themselves than judging you for anything you say
Even if you have the social skills, people are more and more distant, women will typically only go for those they already know, i'd be willing to argue social circles matter most, but a good physique is definitely a start.
Your doing it for yourself not the energy drain sucking girls plus most just want to use you for attention you ain't finding thr right women for you til you fully 100% improve yourself in all areas do it for yourself ! Not the damn girls all we think about is women women women that's why we can never put all the energy into ourself Kings do better
Greg, you just opened my eyes. I’ve been taking self improvement seriously the past few months but I’ve started to slip into the gymcel mindset the past few weeks. Thanks for the motivation to get back into the self improvement grind. You’ve earned my subscription!

I’m in my mid 30’s. I’m not interested in making friends or getting laid so my personality isn’t that important to me. Im fine with just getting in better shape because that’s my only goal. I got a roof over my head, clothes on my back and food in my stomach and I make enough money to survive and live relatively comfortable. So as far as Im concerned, all the other stuff is a waste of time. But to each their own. Live and let live

@@keylanoslokj1806 I have no idea what you just said.
Dan you are the man , these TH-cam channels love to preach but don't practice
Gyms have memberships that cost money everyone who goes too the gym has a job , this video is like saying IF ALL YOU DO IS WAKE UP AND GO TO WORK AND GO TO GYM UR A WORKCEL GYMCEL
No I do all that and visit my family sometimes too , there is a lot worse thing so obsess over , I think the gym is a great obsession and shouldn't be discouraged
Some of us are busy
Have you actually had friends who invite you out wakeboarding on the lake in summer with girls, put together raves at house parties, and go e-biking, 4x4ing, build projects together, etc? Who are better at investment and business than you because they are successful and not a poor loser like you?
I think you're severely underestimating the benefits of other people
@@taylorg8509 most of us wake up to work and then sleep. and some even are diehards who can workout after work. it actually is workcel gymcel life but 99% of us dont have any other choice
Absolute fact, but it goes even deeper than that, pulling girls and being rich won't give you the fulfillment you seek either, take it from someone who pulls moderately and is financially more responsible than 95% of his circle, the biggest difference ultimately is how you see yourself, and that won't necessarily change through manipulating external factors but may have to be addressed directly. For me, I always expected myself to reach my maximum potential every moment. So rest was only possible when nothing else was possible. I was constantly burning myself out. If I sat at home alone, I'd go insane after a few hours because I'd guilt trip myself for all the good things I am not doing. So I kept socialising and looking for things to work on, not only keeping the cycle alive, but also trying to capitalise on opportunities which were really not worth it, purely to run away from self loathing... Your story may be different, but all self improvement is useless if it does not ultimately result in a positive relationship to yourself.
it's not about external validations. thats ehy they say find God
Hey GZ. This is my first time ever watching one of your videos, and I have to say that my jaw is on the floor right now.
I’m 26, and this is the first time I’ve come across someone who could articulate that feeling that nagged me in the back of my mind; the feeling that no matter how much harder I pushed myself or how much longer I did it for per day, it just resulted in exhaustion and a depressed life. I’ve even hated the gym at some points, because going did absolutely nothing for the other aspects of my life the way I did it.
Listening to you speak reminds me of times that I’ve had opportunities with people and life in general, and how ill prepared I was for those things because all I ever worked on was my body. I may never get those exact opportunities back, which saddens me, but now I know what it is I have to try and work on.
I don’t want working out to be the only decent thing about my life. Thank you for helping me say that.
Yes I’m a gymcel and I do not plan to change, I will just workout forever and be alone.
There’s nothing else to be done.
Based
I dont see the problem with this.
It’s a peaceful life
Do anything to keep your mind of the lonliness
@@Bodysmorphia it really is, i mean it isnt like im only a dude who works out all day, but my schedule does revolve around my workout time and thats my priority, its not that i dont think there are good women out there, i know there are and i wish them all the best, however what are the odds the chick ill pull is the one that will be a good mother to whatever kids we may have and would be a good wife to me? because the upside is great: if i pull a good chick life will get 10x happier...but what if it isnt a good chick? what if she falsely accused me(happened once already and i only walked because of literal camera footage proving me innocent), what if they just go ¨i dont feel romance anymore¨ and divorce me for no reason and take half my shit? what if we have kids and she takes them away? theres just so much good shit that can go wrong and while the upside is great the risks are so high that it doesnt make it worth it for me to risk it! did i wanted a family and kids? yeah absolutely im catholic its literally in my religion! can i afford to tank the risks in the worse possible scenarios? no not really, some of these are worse then death.
so really what is there left for me to do other then working out, make money, stick to my hobbies and just be alone? its not the BEST LIFE EVER but its peaceful and somewhat fulfilling.
If you are under 25 you should be enjoying life with your friends as much you can whether that’s through travel, partying or doing stuff together. You can still take the gym seriously and get good results but not at the expense of missing out on experiences you should be experiencing in your youth. Once you get in to your late 20s and especially early 30s everyone’s life gets way busier because that is when most people start getting married, having young kids, really start to progress in their careers and that’s also when priorities really start changing in life overall. The gym will always be there no matter what point you are at in life.
I am a pretty introverted guy and I have always used this as an excuse for not talking to people. Now I realize that humans are social creatures. I avoided social situations and talking to people because “I am an introvert”. Now I realize that I can talk to people but I just don’t need as much social interaction so a little goes a long way. Love the video by the way bro keep going ❤
Agreed! and I felt the same way about being introverted
this man just made me realize my mental health got worse
This mindset creeps up on me whenever I have too much free time.
The key is to train with absolute focus and intensity during your gym session then the moment you’ve finished let go of it and focus on your business and social endeavours.
The problem arises when it becomes an obsession to the point where it’s all you think about and then you’re just losing your entire personality to the gym lifestyle.
As long as you train hard and provide your body with excellent nutrition, you only need to spend 1/2 hours in the day thinking about fitness. The rest of your brain power can be used towards elevation and evolution in other areas ⚡️🧬
Thank you. Sometimes we forget there is really is more to self improvement than just lifting.
You deserves so many more subs, I can tell you are very genuine and passionate about this subject
thanks for waking me up from it king, been neglecting all the tasks of creating art for the sole purpose that i didnt know where to start and id compensate by saying i was too busy and at least i was working out.
I didn't know that I needed this video but I did. I'm just starting my self improvement journey and I've been focusing heavy on the exercise aspect but the rest of my day I'm on TH-cam or playing video games while listening to music. We should all strive to be better in every aspect of our being
Wow I started 2.5 years ago and I’m 23 this couldn’t have hit me at a better time. Didn’t know I needed this. I’m this guy rn. The Feed was on point today. Good content brotha. Subscribing.
Absolutely amazing video, if I think about it, it’s true. I’ve been using the gym as a coping mechanism for bad mental health. This deserves to go viral
You just earned a sub my friend. This video really hit home for me, I feel like you were speaking to me specifically as I have had an issue with obsessing over the gym far too much. I think a lot of self improvement channels say the gym is somehow gonna fix everything and while maybe for some guys it does, it certainly doesn’t for me. Having a good physique is great and I think necessary if you want to look better, but at the end of the day it’s just one aspect of you and there’s more to life than just muscles. Also it’s totally doable to work out 4-6 days a week and still have a busy life with other stuff going on. The gym should really only be 1-2 hours in a day at most and not every day imo.
Nah it’s good to workout a lot. Especially if that’s your thing and you make some money out of it
People work 10 hour days now.
50 hours a week.
Add an hour or 2 in the gym and there's literally no time to do anything else.
The economy is in such a bad state that most of us guys are going to struggle all our lives.
The only way out is to sacrifice everything, earn as much money as possible and get the fuck out. Invest in a property, put it up for rent and travel the world cheap.
Way too relatable

"Outro (dangerously based)" That cracked me up, your doing great work keep it up
Appreciate it bro 🤝
If you go to a commercial or university gym it's actually a great place to also work on your social skills whilst you're working on your body as you're around a bunch of people with a common interest. You can practice talking to people whilst you're in between sets/exercises (and obviously make sure they're also in between sets/exercises too). A friendly smile and eye contact is key. Easy conversational starters I've found are making a polite observation/give a compliment/ask for advice about an exercise someone is doing or gym accessory someone is using, asking people what their training today and what their training routine is, whether they're training for a sport or competition etc. The easiest people to start with are the receptionist, gym instructors/personal trainers as it's their job to ensure customers are satisfied and they'll happily have a chat, most fellow gymbros are also generally up for a chat. Generally when other people see you're a social person they'll be more likely to open up and start a conversation with you too.
Unironically be yourself bro. As a young man people are gonna shame you, and you're gonna shame yourself. It's on you to become who you are without that internal guilt. Just know things take time.
I’m grateful as I’m sure many other young men are that we have access to men who care about being a leadership figure to those younger. You and others have taught me more than I’ve learned in school
I noticed that I've started to go off-tracks for the last few weeks and my mental health clearly dropped as a result. I needed that, thank you.
Alright I give you that. You got me. Your advice has saved me from becoming useless again. Thank you.
I really just dislike people. I rather do stuff that I can do alone, like working out and reading.
Thanks for this man. The mental aspect is very true…. I have very good self discipline when it comes to going to the gym consistently and I have shaped my body closer to my dream physique , but I have been struggling with an addiction with adult content for the longest time, and my self discipline for that wasn’t enough and ruined relationships… I’m currently trying everything I can to completely overcome that while continuing my journey at the gym.

W video. And you’re right. The outro is dangerously based.
Wow, guess this was the first time that TH-cam actually gave an useful recommendation to me. I'm one of these individuals, can be disciplined when in it comes to going to the gym and do sports, but in terms of studying and building connections I struggle. This was a good wake up call. Congrats on the video mate, hope that we all can improve and achieve what we want, even if it seems too difficult at times.
One heavy punch of realiity today 🥲
😂
Great job with this video. I think a lot of men have this issue but this is the first video I've seen of someone talking about it. I'm guilty of focusing almost exclusively on my physical appearance but neglect trying to talk to women or people in general. I suppose it's just easier to work out than approach people (the gym can't reject you). This video has definitely inspired me to start looking at other ways to be better, not just hitting the gym. Thanks bro
Shit. I'm definitely in this state. I work out, go to work, get home and then just slump. My social skills have become shit and I figured maybe I didn't look good enough for any attention yet.
Lots of guys say they get some looks their way, but I can't help but feel that I don't and that's why I'm so focused on looking better.
Im going to work on changing my relationship with the gym and more on myself out of it. Good video bro
I had no problem getting women when I was a straight up junkie who wallowed in negativity and wasn't going anywhere. 3 years after getting sober and hitting the gym 6 days a week in currently in the longest dry spell I've ever had. The pandemic hasn't helped and moving back to my parents house in my small rural hometown hasn't either.
It’s strange When I was getting High and fapping everyday living with my grandparents no car working at Burger King I actually got a lot of play with pretty cute girls now 2 years later have my own place drive a nice car good job gym 6 days a week sober I hardly get laid
Probably because you moved in with your parents. Logistics are a big part of getting laid.
@@v380riMz yup
Bro came at my soul with this one
Hahaha I can't believe I got recommended this. For like the last 2 years I have actually been conflicted with my avidness for gym time but nullness for almost anything else. I love working out and I love being obsessed about vitamins, nutrition, and idioine and oxidation , but I'm also broke and less devoted in my personal career matters. It rly is simple to slip into a slack routine like hitting the gym and blessing yr body. But if yr not cultivating yourself all around, or in key areas of ur life u end up at risk of being xyz but with nice physique.
"Over the past couple of months working out has been my ONLY good habit..."
Dude, this is so true!
Far too many people think "I work out" is the beginning and end of self development; and because they have a good physique, or a 315 bench, the ignore the fact that every other area of their life is a dumpster fire. (I used to be one of them. 😅)
This is good advice . I used to fall down the same trap and feel a false sense of accomplishment just from training everyday and getting bigger. But it’s important to apply the same discipline in other aspects of life that are more important
if you put in the work and you get visual feedback (getting muscular, getting stronger). It's just proof that if you put your mind to a certain thing, you can archive it no matter how hard the journey might be. This carries over to all the rest of life
edit: bro squats in the smith machine 💀
hes OBSESSED with his numbers on the smith machine
True but I don't think planet fitness has free weights, also planet fitness is ass but they're one of your only options if you want to workout in a gym and are on a budget
Dont shame!
Great video. So many smaller self improvement channels are just clones of more successful ones and repeat the same information. But this channel feels genuinely unique and I'm grateful this video got recommended to me.
that kinda is me I guess I read sometime but do pretty much nothing else good except meeting my friends regularly
but I'm so happy right now I improved a lot in the couple months and really proud I overcame my social anxiety by exposing myself to it
Bro this is so relatable.
Bro am i the only one that has a spark of joy when hitting the gym and then just go back to being sad and useless
It’s fair to say as a recent gymcel myself, we KNOW and are aware of what we should be doing and yet here we are 😂. Bros, we gotta set our priorities and go after them in order. There’s no other way out of it we gotta be disciplined is all aspects not just the gym. Think of the gym and healthy lifestyle as the first step. We all gonna make it brahs!
Agreed
Hit the gym then depressed for the rest of the day and rest days are the worst.
Have nothing to live for.
Damn. Great video man! While thankfully I’m not a gymcel, I really liked your point about how physically improving yourself through exercise was hard/uncomfortable at first, and the same thing applies to mentally/emotionally improving yourself. I’ll keep this in mind whenever I’m complaining about studying for tech interviews or going to therapy! Keep up the good work!
This was a massive eye-opener for me, thank you for uploading this video and I hope to improve more in life.
this video is facts but don’t get this man twisted, keep hitting the gym but don’t make it the end all be all
yeah, it's one of many positive habits we need to follow
The worse nightmare of a gymcel, is getting a serious injured . You have nothing to fell back to cope
I have videogames
There are ways around it tho. There's always something that can be done. As someone who has antisocial traits, I will always find a way to make use of my time except socializing. I won't do it unless I really have to. I have a few select friends and I'm fine with that
“YEAH, YOUR GOOFY ASS”
I felt that one😤
It’s over for Gymcels💀
6:45 ik that but I never really let it settle. I needed that bro
I just wanted to say thank you. This video was very insightful. I feel like I had gone through this for quite some time and didn't realize that I still needed to work on other factors of my life. This really helped me to look back on my past to better know how to handle the future.
this has been a common occurrence i’ve seen with myself recently. thank you for this.
that's why Andrew Tate said work out at home and then start your grinding. gym on itself is not an achievement
Really good vid, man. I experienced all of this myself since I started working out a year and a half ago because of how skinny I was. I've made some pretty good gains but it became my only good habit and I even wondered why that discipline didn't translate to other aspects of my life. Right now, I have my priorities in order, work out in the morning, go to college to do my best, spend time with my girlfriend and other friends at church. Glad I was able to notice this problem before it was too late.
why would anyone apply labels to themselves that don’t do them any good bro? being cognizant of who you are and your personal progress is important but calling yourself “incel” or a “gymcel” only raises your self awareness to a level that doesn’t give you a good base for improvement in other areas. but that’s just my opinion.
I actually agree with your point here, the overuse of these labels definitely can make people hyper-aware of their shortcomings. My goal with this video was to call out young men (like myself) who become complacent with life because they work out, but I can definitely see the negative side
This self improvement movement is making the competition pool so much bigger. Stop spreading it👏🏾👏🏾
It's niche
You're spitting facts bro, keep it up.
Appreciate that
Sometimes it's like we rather feel physical pain than mental pain. I like to do extreme stuff like Bungie jumpung, climbing in high trees, kickboxing. But i hated it to talk to strangers. I rather getting beaten up than getting socially humiliated.
Doesn’t make me a gymcel if I just decided to not give women my time or effort anymore.
Thank you for this video dawg, this was very important for me. When I started my self improvement journey, I was studying Spanish, working out, meditating, reading, journaling, and everything in between. However, 2 and half years later, the only habit that I’ve kept up with is lifting and Spanish every now and then since Spanish is minor in college. The funny thing is, u would think that since I started lifting, I’m a pre-med student in college, and I want to learn a language that the bad habits would stop. Nope. Masturbating is still everyday, going to sleep late is still everyday, eating junk food is still everyday, I still have a social media addiction, and I still play video games too much. This video was a wake up call for me because the gym is the ONLY thing I’ve been consistent in when it comes to improving myself. I’ve had women give me more looks because of my body, but like others, I’ve never capitalized because I still have a lingering fear of rejection, even tho the muscles should have gave me confidence. I need to get back into those good habits I used to consistently do, and you just gained a subscriber from this video. Praise to you and your family❤️
This guy is gonna go far
I really recommend going to competitions for whatever fitness thing it is you like to do, strongman, powerlifting, crossfit, bodybuilding, Highland games, Olympic lifting etc. it's a really natural way to meet new people and make friends and you have something easy to make conversation about. These all have really nice people and great communities.
Great vid man, I'm in the exact same trap
That last sentence hit me
Sir, this video hit the spot. I could potentially define myself as a bit of a gymcel due to the fact I avoid partying and alcohol in order to retain my physical fitness. This of course comes at a major disadvantage; I feel like most encounters with females, as sad as it sounds, come from the partying environment. Or at least, you're less vulnerable talking to people of the opposite sex there. While working out and being somewhat productive (school) isn't really a problem for me, conveying feeling towards women and picking up "chicks" is. My social game isn't even that bad I think, just needs some polishing. Thanks!
Ignore the alcohol, that’s for degenerates anyway. The real challenge is talking to a women and being sober.
@@bonkersdonkers7381 True. But somehow, my brain convinced me that if I were to talk to a girl at my school, I would be the weirdo, and that this wouldn't be appropriate. I thinkt this stems from todays dating culture, which is after all, heavily focused on social media n stuff. But oh well, better to try than not to...
@@hitmonlee6062 don’t think about it too much. I do the same thing, but remember, be urself be fun. It takes work, talk to other guys first if ur a guy, or if ur a girl talk to other girls. Everyone deals with it, both genders. Don’t stress about it too much, just relax man👍
lmao calling women “females” is a fkn red flag, i’d consider you an incel just for saying that.
if you see a woman just as any other perosn then you wouldn’t have an issue speaking to them.
y’all think women are just there to fuck
It's good to see someone calling out this type of behavior and giving a name to it. Physical fitness is important to maintain a healthy body but if that's the only significant thing you are doing to better yourself than you are a shallow and unproductive person. I went to high school with a few people who are in good shape but are almost 30 now, still working minimum wage jobs, and still living with their parents and they don't seem to see a problem with that lifestyle. Discipline when it comes to physical fitness is good but discipline in life is way more beneficial.
Very insightful man, keep on the good path you're going on!
thank you dude ive been a gymcel for like months and i couldnt tell this is eye opening
You should work on self improving your mind along with your physical body. You NEED to work on both of these or you will always stay in phase 1 no matter how much you workout.
For the past year, I have been getting into working out. Being obsessed with it, though, is a better term to describe my state. It feels really good to work out, feeling as if I have done something positive to change my life. Yes, it is a positive change, since I have been inactive all my life- but working out is just what I have been doing for the last year. I do study at school, but studying, to me, doesn't help me grow as a person. It's what experience in the real world do... Working out made me felt as if I had done something productive and change that past way of life, but in reality, nothing really changed. Still that past social-awkward me from a year ago, except with a few extra pounds of muscle.
Well, I have been thinking about that for a while. But thanks to your video, I finally decided what is truly best for myself.
Thanks for the video.
Great message bro

If you can read what’s written on the wall, you can also see how the gym is nothing, how the bar has risen the last couple years and going to the gym now is normie behavior, prey and predator graphic, no safe place left and basically the next big thing will also end up with a -cel attached to it, the only zenit of self improvement is either Monk like spirit or money millionaire, everything else will become a "-cel"
Self improvement is masturbation
love the self reflection
Working out is mental too don’t get it twisted stop saying non-sense. Majority of people that workout are more mentally stable than others. Working out and being consistent transfers to many aspects in life. Stop bullshitting yourself and stop making it seem like being in the gym for hours is bad. In self improvement you have little control over your financial situation but FULL control over how you look.
I dont have a six pack but I have a six figure job lol.
All jokes aside, good vid mate, subbed!
Props to you for getting jacked at a Planet Fitness lol
gotta work with what I've got lmao
Truth has been spoken!!! You da Real MVP, man!
Damn dawg I’m a gymcel 😢
Never heard of you until this vid popped up on my recommended and i really needed to hear this. Thank you and subbed
Sorry, but as articulate as this all sounds, you can't deny that looks gets you through the door. Maybe you have had the luxury of a lifestyle where you don't get contemptuous looks of rejection or lines like "I have a boyfriend" to blow you off. Maybe you don't understand how many of us can feel disadvantaged over things beyond our control (e.g., height, skin color, facial features). Without the gym lifestyle, we can't even hope for a more fulfilling life because the cold hard truth is that we live in a judgmental and intensely vicious world that rewards certain characteristics over others. It's the only hope for change.
Oh my god, this hits right where it needs to
I started to experience most of these "symptoms" if you will - the ignorance towards my other responsibilities, the arrogance and that basically working out is my only way to make me feel good about myself, and gain some validation.
So thank you good sir, for making me self-reflect a little bit
Yea man I usually carry my cell in the gym all the time.
Get off your phone dawg 😤
I like the transparency bro, this is definitely a thing.
Keep it up champ!
will do!
Nah this is facts bro, y’all can’t be only focused on one thing, what’s your purpose besides getting your physique better
The biggest struggle I wish someone would give me an answer to is Where do I go after not realizing I'm good at anything, In the back of my mind i know there's something I can do, but My circumstances are Keeping me from it, and It looks like I have more than a while to Get me somewhere. I don't want to come out as Asking for pity, or something pathetic like that. But I just feel like I have no idea on what to do. And It has taken a toll on me where i tried to take my own life. I physically, and mentally am on my own with this because I wasn't really good at anything in highschool. And realizing that makes me want to do it again, but I don't want to and take action to better it. I just don't know where to start.
That's a big thing that a lot of us incels have to come to terms with. Most people are good at, at least one thing. Incels are typically untalented, autistic, and awkward, and in general are not good at anything. It's one of the reasons we're incels. It goes to a lot of what Jordan Peterson says. Just find something that you can tolerate. Something that you can imagine yourself doing, that's not going to kill your soul too much, doing, and gives you some work life balance so you can recharge. The hard part about life is that it's a bugged-out game with way too many options, and nothing lights up when you choose the right option.

@@sexygothgorrilla I don't think you need talent to get laid. You just need to be socially normal and look attractive enough. The reason incels are incels is usually due to looks.
