do most young adult men go to the gym?

No. Most people I know don't bother lifting at all. Most young guys only lift Cheetos and Mountain Dew to their face. There's an obesity eowdemic in the western world. The majority of guys are blue pill

Many go to the gym but not many lift properly and set goals, making sure their nutrition is right and stay disciplined.

Everyone goes to school but not everyone comes out with top professions.

Outwork everyone, the majority of people I know who "go to the gym" are on and off, set no real cut/bulk or strength goals, and thus make 0 progress

Access to proper gym equipment has never been that easy. Access to reliable fitness information has ever been that easy. With time, it becomes less of an advantage, and more like the norm.

It means that if you want to get ahead of the curve, you'll need something more.

I disagree. Most people will go half heartedly and eat mediocre diets that lead to half hearted and mediocre results.

If you’ve got a good program diet and lifestyle that suits you then all you need is consistency and patience and the results will come.

If you really want to set yourself apart take up a combat sport. As a combat athlete I stay lean and jacked whilst retaining all the character building benefits of training. Taking Up a serious martial art is so many levels above lifting for self development. Bear in mind strength and conditioning is very much a part of my program.

Confirmation bias: you go to the gym so you notice people who go to gym more than the ones who don’t.

Majority of people don’t lift: they are either overweight+ or skinny.

Then you have tons of people who go to the gym don’t even look like it: fucking around, doing only cardio, inconsistent, lifts but doesn’t care about eating well.

No way. Id guess like 5-10%.

We live in a world of increasing standard deviation in all things related to SMV (fitness, wealth, etc.). The number of alphas isn't increasing any faster than the number of beta/incels. What is going away is the middle. More people going to the gym, eating right, etc. are balanced out by the number of people morbidly obese
