People who live a fitness lifestyle see the world differently. Their lives revolve around eating right and getting their reps in to achieve their desired physique. 

If you fit this definition, you may get a kick from the ‘Do You Even Lift’ Instagram account. Here, you’ll find memes, social media posts, and videos poking fun at missed leg days, protein shake recipes, calorie tracking, and bulking up. 

For today’s list, we’ve collected some of the funniest and perhaps most relatable still images from the page. These may speak to you if you consider yourself a full-fledged gym rat and health buff.

    The gym just makes me want a nap. I don't think my body got the memo that exercise is supposed to give you energy

    View more comments

    Many people work out for vanity’s sake. They follow a strict exercise regimen to bulk up or form specific body parts, focusing less on overall health and fitness. Personal trainers like Phil Snowden see this as a problem, and he blames social media.

    “This ... evolution of fitness particularly on [Instagram and TikTok] in recent years has become very bad taste in my opinion,”  Snowden told Young Post in a 2022 interview.

    What kind of question is "Are you on steroids?" anyway? Embrace body type diversity and do what you can to be healthy. Don't take d***s unnecessarily.

    Snowden pointed out that having such a skewed view of exercising may lead to the development of disorders like bigorexia. It’s a form of body dysmorphia where people become obsessed with decreasing their fat mass to unhealthy levels while increasing muscle mass. 

    ADVERTISEMENT

    A 2021 review revealed that bigorexia, otherwise known as Adonis complex, mainly affects men. Overall, their obsession with following a strenuous workout routine adversely affects their health and social life.

    When you lift so much steel that you you become the steel

    Other people have an unhealthy relationship with exercise, to the point where they prioritize it over maintaining personal relationships. As pointed out by eating disorder psychologist Dr. Bryony Bamford, such a mindset can also cause mental and emotional strain. 

    ADVERTISEMENT

    In an interview with Vogue India, Dr. Bamford explained that an all-consuming preoccupation with exercise that doesn’t meet self-imposed fitness goals may lead to anxiety and a sense of inadequacy, which can become problematic in the long run.

    I've heard this done in the opposite direction too - a women pointing out what they think is an attractive (and usually thin) woman, only to have their partner point out that hugging a bony person isn't much fun. But to each their own.

    When approaching exercise, Snowden urges people to embody a holistic mindset. Instead of dedicating yourself to gym workouts, he suggests going outside for a brisk walk or a short run to be outdoors for some fresh air. 

    And if you’re going through bouts of anxiety and self-questioning, Snowden advises seeking assistance from a professional who can properly evaluate your fitness goals

    “Unless you are a professional athlete, your fitness goal should be to achieve overall health and wellness to enhance your quality of life,” he said.

    Maybe it transferred from a pattern on the back of their shirt. Like from the uneven texture he's got fabric wrinkle on his forehead

    Another way to approach working out is to keep things fun and lighthearted. According to body image psychologist Dr. Nadia Craddock, finding a healthy balance between taking exercise seriously and being silly about it is essential to avoid falling into unhealthy obsessions.

    “Think about physical activity as a chance to be silly and playful and an opportunity to have fun and make friends,” Dr. Craddock told Vogue India, adding that following the latest fitness trends and tracking every step you take isn’t always necessary to reap the benefits of exercise.

    Just as an aside to shoulder pain, it is a common side effect (in women) of having major abdominal surgery and is called referred pain.

    Presumably the people posting the pic of their baby are doing so for the sake of grandparents, aunts/uncles, siblings etc that very much do care about the baby. Literally no one cares how much you can bench except you.

    Disordered eating and body dysmorphia are not cool. Love your body. Give it what it needs to be healthy, and don't forget to feed your mind and soul occasionally as well.

    leg press scares me. I've seen one video one time of a persons knee giving out and folding up backwards like a flamingo. Granted the person locked their knees but that doesn't matter. Never again will I do a leg press like in this picture.
