would posting this be a good idea?

Viktor2500 · 2022-08-24T00:40:34+00:00

Bro don't give a fuck imo, it's your profile so post stuff that is relevant to you. It's YOUR STORY after all.

Fabulous-Living1889 · 2022-08-24T00:23:33+00:00

I feel the same about gym clips. Most of my friends don’t workout and associate it with douche-culture, but I’ll post something I’m proud of every now and then… like once every few months. Usually a personal best or reshare a story my trainer or friend tags me in. We keep getting told here that confidence is key, then when we have to confidence to share an achievement, reddit shoots us down!

itchytchy · 2022-08-24T00:52:03+00:00

Life is too short to worry about what others think about you. Do what you want, be of service to others, and live your life with purpose.

Every single girl is posting gym selfies now constantly. And guys are thirsty for it. If you want to do it. Who cares. A girl shouldn’t judge you because she’s doing the exact same thing. If she does she a hypocrite

letsgetrandy · 2022-08-23T23:49:14+00:00

Posting video clips of yourself working out, and you happen to be a pro athlete, or even a serious amateur athlete, so it's your identity -- makes sense.

Posting video clips of yourself working out, and you are a dad working on losing weight -- inspiring.

Posting video clips of yourself working out, and you are a single guy hoping to get attention from women -- painfully transparent, and totally douchey.

CutMonster · 2022-08-24T00:08:12+00:00

Sure if you want DMs from guys.

MrColfax · 2022-08-24T02:42:25+00:00

Just remember: most people who don't go to the gym don't understand gym culture and pride.

I can hit a PR and be really proud of myself but most non-gym people I would mention this too don't give a shit. However, if I were to say it to a gym goer then they would automatically appreciate the hard work that went in to achieving it.

ricklovesmortyy · 2022-08-24T00:28:42+00:00

I say do it, I’m a girl and I wouldn’t think that’s douchey. If you got it flaunt it!

moneyandbenzos · 2022-08-24T00:58:05+00:00

If you do this…

Will you lower the pool of ladies who would be interested in you? Possibly.

Should you care? Not really.

My humble suggestion? Keep flexes subtle.

;) :)

Majestic_Ad_2885 · 2022-08-24T01:55:05+00:00

Don’t worry about what other people will think. Ignorance is bliss. It’s your life, why would you let other peoples subconscious opinions away you from posting progress?

Do you King!

ftdrain · 2022-08-24T02:42:44+00:00

I post insta stories working out or shirtless consistently, they get a lot of views and a few likes from girls, its clearly successful, I have a top 1% natty body tho, people ask if Im roided, but im natty, you get the point.

Fabulous-Living1889 · 2022-08-24T04:20:41+00:00

As a guy, would posting gym clips to Instagram stories come across as too egotistical or douchey?

For me personally, yes, but it always depends on context.

Are you reaching a personal goal you want to share? Of course I'd love to see it. Are you just lifting weights and staring at yourself in the mirror? No, I don't want to see that.

Cantsleepperson · 2022-08-24T01:52:56+00:00

Be urself bro.

2022-08-24T02:19:35+00:00

No one cares at all. Just post it.

PelletsOfMescaline · 2022-08-24T11:39:15+00:00

Totally up to you and how you feel.

That being said, For me personally I prefer to ‘move in silence’ I don’t post or even talk about the gym but I am in great shape. I enjoy the surprises I get when people see me and say ‘wow you look fit’ . Law 30 “Make Your Accomplishments Seem Effortless”

Mechanik_J · 2022-08-24T05:14:49+00:00

Just do it.

meatpopsicle86edya · 2022-08-24T05:15:48+00:00

Do you boo

2022-08-24T08:16:47+00:00

Do what you want to do but just don’t go overboard

Aggressive_Soil_5134 · 2022-08-24T10:38:31+00:00

I be posting shirtless photos all the time, I worked hard for my body and it’s my profile, couldn’t give a fuck if it comes off as douchey.

Also it’s always been a good conversation starter because some girls like my the story and I just message them

Canadian-Seductioner · 2022-08-24T17:53:07+00:00

Girls like confident and douchey guys so it will only work on your favour if you post pics like that.

whyamiheretbh · 2022-08-24T01:51:15+00:00

As a girl, I personally find gym videos from ANYONE (regardless of gender) super cringe and douchey. It's one of those things though that is a personal preference, some people would love it and others won't.

Ultimately, you do what you want to do!

zero400 · 2022-08-24T02:31:25+00:00

Delete social media and try to talk to someone platonically between sets at that gym.

JF803 · 2022-08-24T02:13:36+00:00

I’ve been into fitness for a while and just always found it douchey and I think it looks stupid when I see people filming shit they are clearly filming to post, but also I know guys that do it and get laid a ton. Do whatever the fuck you want

bandsupjay · 2022-08-24T01:48:40+00:00

Contango6969 · 2022-08-24T01:42:01+00:00

Has anyone gone full psycho and photoshop yourself into hanging out with celebrities and being on private jets and shit? If you’re going to be an instafag you might as well go all out with it

cronasminate · 2022-08-24T03:09:13+00:00

Make sure that you place the camera in a walkway and the get mad when people walk in front of it.

dryo · 2022-08-24T05:41:48+00:00

I workout 5 days a week, mostly calistenics, don't want to buff out, it asks too much protein and food which, in the long run can be bad for you, rarely post pictures anywhere cause, don't really give a shite about likes,prefer the priceless look on old friends when they barely recognize you after a year of training.

sergeiglimis · 2022-08-24T08:53:42+00:00

If there’s legitimate technical content then it wouldn’t come off as douche.

Suspicious-State · 2022-08-24T09:21:47+00:00

It would be a good idea even if it comes off as egotistical. If you are proud of it, and want to show it off, go ahead.

TAA180 · 2022-08-24T11:00:32+00:00

Post whatever you want man. But when you do , OWN IT

TAA180 · 2022-08-24T11:04:19+00:00

Do whatever you want and more importantly, own it. You also may attract a certain type of female

ImLostInLife1 · 2022-08-24T16:19:39+00:00

You can post whatever you want bro. No one can say shit. But I don’t think people will be too interested in your gym videos other than other guys going to the gym

itchytchy · 2022-08-24T16:55:27+00:00

I am a woman, I think it's douchey but I still enjoy the look of whoever is posting I'd they're enjoyable. But I'd definitely would be like 'what a douche'. I'm smiling because I have a specific guy in mind.

lavaknight5 · 2022-08-24T22:40:42+00:00

If you wanna post this just to attract girls then probably not a good idea. You might come out as douchey and you will definitely get more attention from guys.

If you wanna post this just because then do it. You will feel more confident.

mab87117 · 2022-08-24T22:44:18+00:00

if you have a good enough body to show, then go on set a good lighting learn to pose and go ahead

omega05 · 2022-08-24T23:50:22+00:00

How are you gonna ask permission to post your own story to your own instagram?
