  • It would have been funnier to stop filming and then just sit and watch him while he poses. Just real uncomfortable staring.

    While licking your lips šŸ‘ļø šŸ‘„ šŸ‘ļø

    Hand(s) down in pant, aggressively

    And rubbing your hand.

    Insert Freaky Sonic GIF

    Licking lips, playdoh snakes hand rubbing, etc.

    Dudes in a ā€œposingā€ room staring at himself, do you really think people staring at him will bother him? He’d probably like it and get bricked up

    Why stop?

    Give him the window and stare while communicating to your stream in your language... But make it sound seductive

  • goddamn he’s annoying holy shit

    But the OP of this video is so satisfying saying what he said and handling it the way he did. My ass would’ve been like ā€œget your tiny steroid dick out of my face before I make you chase me into cardiac arrest.

    [removed]

    He was identified. He’s some halfwit wannabe influencer with like 300 followers on TikTok. People swarmed the comments for his one video and mocking him. Funnily enough, the polite guy is apparently a well known influencer with a few million followers

    So who is he? I can’t find it

    where is joey swoll when you need him.

    Joey Swole is off sucking Trump off and calling people "colored "

    Is he pro Trump?

    Very much so

    How disappointing. You'd think someone who makes a living by calling out assholes wouldn't be one.

    Yeah, I was SUPER disappointed to find that out

    How did anyone ever think that Joey Swole wouldn’t be a Trump Supporter with his delivery? He might be calling out bad behavior but hasn’t anyone noticed how he’s delivering his judgement? His tone of voice, and air of superiority? He has red voter written all over him

    I didn't watch him enough to know either way, but he did come up sporadically on my reels

    The online fitness community is extremely bigoted and racist. It makes perfect sense tbh

    Oh, I didn't know this.

    Yes it’s become more political and hateful over the last 10 years or so. It has become infiltrated with incels who see working out and getting jacked as a means to fix all their dating problems. Lots of misogyny, racism, and classism. Obsession with looks to the point where they gloss over ED behaviors. Disregard of mental health, women’s health (I.e., PCOS, childbirth, or endometriosis getting in the way of fitness goals), and socioeconomic issues.

    It’s male proana/ED Twitter but worse. These people tend to love RFK Jr. as well.

    He also left social media cuz he was called out for being terrible and he couldn't handle it

    He hopped back on like 3 days after that

    Proof.

    I have picture proof that I can't attach here

    HE NEEDS TO DO BETTER

    I looked into that whole controversy, ironically it was the psycho righties who made him quit social media. He made a tribute to the late Hulk Hogan, he was called out for the fact that Hulk Hogan was an asshole, and he got called out for saying "coloured athletes". He issued an apology, insisting he wanted to hold himself to the same standard as he does others, and that he educated himself instead of getting defensive like he did when he was initially called out. But then right wing psychos like Matt Walsh slammed his apology and said he was weak for apologising, after which he alongside his sister, girlfriend, and business parter started receiving threats.

    I honestly didn't like Swoll much anyway. I felt like he was way too harsh when calling out women compared to men, even if he claims to call them all out equally, and he didn't do enough to moderate the misogyny or misandry in his own comments. But it's sad that he quit social media after being bashed for doing the right thing.

    idk i think he was too busy being a fascist piece of shit

  • I've never seen such egregious abuse of the posing room.

    I'm my gym we have a supposing room. You go in there and hypothesise about stuff.

    I use their compose room more than the suppose room. I love music. Lol

    I like the compost room. Give back to the earth, you know?

    I like the Kompromat room. So me and my comrades can destroy the USA in peace.

    I like the hosing room (also known as the bathroom where I take a shower and hose myself off)

    I prefer the nosing room. We just do coke.

    You’ll find me in the dozing room, just taking a nap.

    I to hide in the bathroom stall.

    I thought it was gonna be for suppositories!

    So you supposed, but that's for the assuming room.

    I prefer the reposing room where I can quietly lie down and take a nap.

    Wtf, why does a gym need a posing room?

    Real answer: competitive bodybuilding is one part being huge, one part looking huge. When they pose on stage for the judges, they're illuminated by stage lighting, which is angled differently from the gym's normal overhead lighting. This casts shadows differently than you'd see in the weight room, for example, so by learning to pose at the right angles, you can accentuate or even create the illusion of larger muscles.

    Yes, it's vain, but that's literally the nature of the sport. I was more of a powerlifter in my 20s, but a lot of my gym friends and most of my trainer's clients were bodybuilders, and we were all in the same circle.

    Thank you so much for this explanation! How interesting.

    So that you can check if someone put something on your back, when you get that big you lose a ton of flexibility.

    When the percentage of people on roids goes over 10% it just unlocks automatically. They don't have long to live so they really need to enjoy it now...

    No idea. I literally just heard of it but by god I'm still outraged that this MF is misusing it.

    I assume for body builders.

    For narcisists... Wet Dream Room

    Would love it if my gym had one of these rooms so people could have a place to take pictures of themselves instead of recording random people in the gym/changing rooms

    Gender affirming care

    Asking the big questions over here

  • ā€œBefore I snapā€

    Ok buddy…go ahead and snap….you’re on camera, go ahead and do what you want.

    ok yes, but getting hit in the face is generally not nice.

    The lawsuit payout would be, though

    Doesn't always work that way. Pressing charges doesn't mean you're about to be paid.

    No, but it often means the other party is getting locked up, so worth it.

    But the joy I get from looking up where he works every six months and reminding them that the guy that hired is a violent criminal. chef’s kiss

    Even if it means, my monthly $27 garnishment from his check is delayed for a few more months.

    Bold assumption this guy has any real assets.

    I worked as a bouncer for a number of years. I'm six feet tall and around 220, my martial arts background is in judo and jujitsu. Roided out assholes like this would talk the same shit to me. Calling me a little puke, or whatever. But even though they could probably lift me over their head, if I were to hold perfectly still for them, they had zero balance, flexibility, stamina, or speed. They totally overestimate their abilities, which makes them that much easier to handle. It was always amusing to see the look on their face when I escorted them outside.

    I mean 6 feet 220 I know enough not to test you as a bouncer. I had a friend who was 5 6 160 and would choke out dudes twice his size as a bouncer. Rule of thumb don't mess with bouncers.

    We have some pretty big guys on our security. Another 40 something year old and myself are not the biggest but we have been doing this for a long time (more of a hobby at this point). We tell the new guys "fear the old man in the young mans profession". But we are talking about the 54 year old vet who looks like someone's average middle age dad with a gut. You do not mess with him.

    He walked out the front door once with this little MMA guy on his back choking him. He reaches behind him and fishhooks the guy until he let's go and then tosses him unto the sidewalk.

    I was about to say… I’m a one stripe white belt and even I am not afraid of that roid rager, although I would have immediately called the police when he said he was going to ā€œsnap.ā€

    As a former bouncer myself, 5"10 200lbs and also a background in jiu jitsu and wrestling - this is 100% true. There's some unsubstantiated connection big guys believe occurs when they build a lot of muscle and think that equates to fighting ability. Simply doesn't work that way.

    Easy to say when you are not the one getting snapped on.

    Snap his mankini having a hissy fit

    ā€œBefore I snapā€

    "OHHH! WHAT DID THE AUTHORITIES SAY?"

  • Yeah these guys bodies don’t hold well when they can’t use the roids anymore

    They don't even hold well on roids, look at the dude waddle. It's hilarious

    That waddle was the funniest part.

    Trying to act tough while wearing high-cut panties and a stick up his ass.

    The waddle cracked me up too. Dude looked like an overgrown baby with a full diaper waddling up to pose for the livestream he supposedly didn’t want to be on.

    What’s really funny is the dude isn’t even close to being able to compete in anything other than the local Moose Lodge invitational. And if you talk to most actual pro bodybuilders, they’re usually super chill and more than willing to give you your space. They have zero reason to try to sound tough.

    But he loves to look at himself in the mirror. That’s what it’s all about. Maybe he usually has the room to himself and he just strokes it to his reflection.

    Its because all those roids shrunk his manhood, and he's very upset.

    He is really out of proportion. Frankly weird looking.

    Stretch Armstrong lookin motherfucker

    I’d agree with this from my experience as well, very nice, helpful, and welcoming community at my gym.

    This guy is a prick, bodybuilder or not, he’d still be a prick

    Haha I just noticed that šŸ˜‚

    Ronnie Coleman can't even walk anymore and is currently undergoing significant amounts of rehabilitation to just walk again.

    Steroids push the body beyond what it's supposed to be able to handle, and that kind of stress always comes back to break you in the end. Always.

  • 'You're on roids, dude!'

    'I'm still healthier than you!'

    That's not a denial.

    Tantrum Todd doesn't have time for petty accusations, haven't you seen his physique?

    That sounds like admission

    Exactly. An admission, and a ā€˜so what?’

  • People get muscles and suddenly think they’re Kratos or some shit.

    I just started ragnarok and this is hilarious

    This edit before AI was impressive.

    Not to be "that guy" but these are from a collection of actual gifs the team at Santa Monica made for funsies

  • lol bro had to waddle away because of the roids

  • He's right, the muscle head won't live to be 50. I knew one who was dead at 37.

    Dead at 37 is crazy work just to look ā€œgoodā€ for a moment

    He looked amazing for years and this was 30 years ago when there wasn't a gym on every corner, so body shapes like that weren't common like now

    That’s a good point, I still lament that he felt the need to modify his body to the point of death though ;-;

    He didn't know he was going to die from it

    That’s true. It’s so sad to think he just collapsed at home, in front of who knows who. One thing my parents have always said is how hard it would be to bury a child.

    Don't look into Bostin Loyd then. Using your own body as a science experiment is something else.

    Well you can’t tell me that and expect me not to look into it lol

    Just another dummy dead before 30 because of 'genetics'.

    It’s honestly sad af that people feel the need to modify themselves to the point their body can’t handle it. I’ve had body dysmorphia before but not to that degree. It’s just sad that it went that far.

    Bodybuilders are among the least healthy people. They can barely move without getting cramps on the big day, they rage out constantly which leads to deaths by road rage, speeding, taking risks, getting into fights, pulling weapons, etc., and their hearts give out early. Just look at people with functional strength actually lifting heavy, doing arduous jobs, long distance running, or climbing - they look nothing like Arnold "The Texan Betrayer" Schwarzenegger.

    That doesn’t surprise me at all! They do always seem to be itching for a confrontation with anyone or anything. I much prefer functional strength over performative ā€œstrength.ā€

    Thats why I dont understand why men think it is attractive. Generally, people are attracted to what is natural. Thr truly fit and strong look incredible and well toned, not bulky and lumpy to the point they cant walk properly.Ā 

    Of the many straight women I know, only one or two think it is a good look.

    I noticed a few years back alot of bodybuilders in their 30s die from heart conditions in a rabbithole

    It definitely can’t be good for the body to strain it like that, so that makes sense.

  • wtff is a posing room? Is it really what it sounds like, just a room where muscle heads go to admire themselves?

    First I’ve ever heard of it. I feel like I’d just chuckle if someone brought it up in conversation. ā€œThe what room?ā€

    Professional body builders need to practice their poses for competitions. It’s like if a tennis gym had a tennis court

    i still dont get what the poser is complaining about. the entire fucking room is a mirror. what is his issue? he had a whole entire wall to pose by himself.

    I think he wanted the natural lighting from the window.

    "hey bro I'm after the natural lighting, mind if you move down a bit?"

    also not the point I’m making. I’m just staying there’s a purpose for the room. That’s it

    He's probably raging due to the steroids he's been abusing, like the guy said. Also possible that he doesn't like a guy speaking another language.

    I don’t think that comparison is doing the work you think it is. Of course a tennis gym will have a tennis court, you can’t find that everywhere. A mirror with good light can be found in just about every building, including your house where you won’t have YouTubers recording

    Every gym I've gone to has had plenty of mirrors around, I assume it's so people can check their form and be more cautious of those around.

    I'd spread those mirrors out around the gym and turn that in to like a streaming room or golden ballroom /s

    So in ā€œseriousā€ gyms where professional bodybuilders are around a lot they’re usually rooms with mirrors angled so that you can see the entirety of your posing routine by yourself, so you can work on the flow, presentation, etc.

    Stage Posing is hard, and takes practice, so it’s not the worst idea of all time.

    That being said, the idea has somewhat/mostly been co-opted by people as a place to get half/all naked and take selfies.

    But posing rooms are typically a little bigger than a broom closet, they certainly don’t have wall mounted flat mirrors that are the entire room long.

    This looks like a group-class room, indicated by the music set up in the corner, the random weights in racks on the far wall, and the fan, not to mention the natural external light, which is terrible for any sort of serious bodybuilding posing routine.

    Little bro is just experiencing anadrol for the first time and hasn’t matured yet. Or hit legs, apparently, in his entire life.

    Just report him, get him kicked out and banned, and move on. There’s cameras in there for sure, and harassment is taken pretty seriously in the gym.

    Live streaming in the gym is just as annoying honestly. Like yeah the dude was rude as fuck but it seems like both of them were trying to use an empty gym classroom for shit that it's not meant for.

    Given that the dude is in his undies then I almost kind of want to give him the benefit here and say he's actually doing a more gym appropriate activity in that room. Other dude is camped in there in casual clothes doing a live stream for 20+ mins and not even using the mirrors.

    They both seems like idiots really, the muscle dude for being a rude aggressive prick and the other guy for trying to turn the gym into his streaming studio.

    Do we know what he is live-streaming? He could be live-streaming about fitness and health and using the equipment or mirrors for form. Also, as the live streamer said, there is a posing room downstairs for that exact purpose.

    From his caption at the start of the video, he was explaining exactly that. Workout stuff and fitness. Its likely he was showing form and like that

    It's the room where dudes touch each other's balls.

    Tiny little steroid balls

    Hey brother check out my balls. Brooo sMALLER THAN A TICKTAC you must be on HGH BROOOOOOOOO

    That's at least what I use it for

    Same dude. People use it for other stuff?

    News to me if they do. If I ever see anyone misuse the oiling closet for anything other than its intended use of nipple clamping and dick jousting I'm calling in a bomb threat.

    What about dick clamping and nipple jousting?

    I'll have to reread the membership contract.

    Just asking for a friend šŸ˜‰šŸ¤£

    What do you have against dudes touching each other's balls?

    My palms🤣🤣🤣

    In serious bodybuilding gyms they have posing rooms for people who compete on stage. Camera man is essentially doing curls in the squat rack.(if you don't get that analogy, he is not using the space as intended although entitled to use it incorrectly, as he pays the same for membership, but will irritate other members nonetheless).

    The roid guy was an asshole about it and should have asked him to politely tomove and let him use the space for it's intended purpose.

    The posing room is downstairs

    Watch the whole video and you will see that there are only mirrors laying flat against one wall, so it's almost certainly not set up with the intent of being used as a posing room because you would only be able look at yourself from one angle. And even if it was somehow intended to be used as a posing room, the room is clearly so big and with enough mirrors that one single person in the corner isn't going to interfere with someone else trying to look at themselves in the one row of mirrors on the wall.

  • So this guy has an entire room lined with mirrors, and he has to pose right in that spot?

    Also, streaming and shooting video in the gym is stupid.

    Therefore, anyone who does anything at a gym except work out is an asshole. That's all I can say at this point.

    IF they have a dedicated room for it, and people use that room instead of filming anywhere else in the gym, I'm fine with it. It isn't my jam, but I don't care about what I don't see.

  • Massive man-baby having a tantrum because he wants to pose.

    I’ve never met a ā€œfitness athleteā€ that doesn’t have personality issues.

    Steroids

    Hunger-induced/Hypoglycemia-related irritability.

    And or narcissistic

    Im currently on prednasone to fight some arthritis im dealing with which is pretty far removed from h g h and omg i understand roid rage, im constantly apologizing for angry outburst im so exited to be cill me again fuck that shit.

    I wonder how *he takes rejections

    If it smells like shit everywhere you go, look under your shoe my man.

    I didn’t say I didn’t have personality issues.

  • Yikes. Says shit like "I'm here to pose in the posing room" without a hint of irony. What a twat.

    Clearly it’s the streaming room.

  • Muscle cartmen šŸ˜‚

  • Guy was an asshole to the cameraman for no reason. I’ve trained at serious gyms for 14 years and never asked anyone to leave an area or equipment when they weren’t using it for its intended purpose. Just shake your head and move on.

    Funny how bewildered everyone here is about a posing room. I guess bodybuilders are easy targets to make fun of. Nearly all serious bodybuilding gyms have at least a small posing room. This one looked like a fitness class room based on the size.

  • Roids leaking out

    He needed his Grindr photo updated. Give him a break.

  • Holy shit I knew a guy about 10 years ago that looked and acted just like this guy did (roided guy) He just couldn’t get over the life he once had, married, claims to have had a Greek body, etc etc. He got into drugs pretty badly and ended up passing away from a fentanyl overdose. He just couldn’t get out of the past. I wanted to help him but there was just no helping him whatsoever. I truly mean this, Brandon, I hope wherever you’re at now, you’re at peace man.

    Edit: some of the stuff I put it in there came from me just waking up so if it didn’t make any sense, I do apologize

  • Room for posers is exactly right, jesus

  • Yeah, that big man child is a piece of shit. Who the fuck cares if you want to pose. Also, wtf is a posing room? God, these types of people are the worst.

  • Only the most insecure guys ever do roids, that shit don’t make you healthy it ruins your testosterone production and kills you early. You’re basically throwing away your life so you can cheat to get a physique that makes you look like you work harder than you actually do, the most loser thing you can do

  • Roids meets racism

  • What does posing mean like he’s in the mirror looking at his different muscles in the mirror is this part of working out? I’m like not trying to be a dick right now. I actually don’t know what that meant. I’ve never been to a gym within the last few years, I don’t know what that means

    Yes, posing to look at muscles. To succeed in bodybuilding competitions you have to be able to nail the poses with the correct muscles flexed.

    I have tried some of the poses to impress my wife and it’s harder than you think. It would definitely take a lot of practice to get good at it.

    Oooooh that makes so much more sense

    It also helps when you want to target a muscle, do the lift for that muscle, yet fail to engage that muscle. Your brain is used to "what's easiest and what works", so say, you might engage triceps and shoulders more than pectorals on the bench press. This is bad because you aren't hitting what you want, first, but you're also making yourself prone to injuries because I assure you a pectoral can take way more than a deltoid.

    Practicing to engage your muscle in a mirror can help so you understand how to engage it next time you lift.

  • Both are kind of stupid. If there's a room specifically for posing in your underwear, great! Fantastic! Let them pose, but don't be an asshole about it. And if that is a designated room for that you really shouldn't be livestreaming in that room, let alone in a gym.

  • Handled like a champ

  • I'm confused. I mean yeah roid dude is aggro for no reason and that shit is silly. But...why is there a dude streaming to 100 people in a gym for seemingly no reason?

  • Got that tren rage, sad af

  • The ā€˜roid rage is real 😣

  • I could see this being real, but I’d bet money it’s just engagement bait. That’s half the internet at this point.

  • "I'm gonna snap" dudes never been told to shut up and it shows. Open threats too this could've gone a lot worse

  • I wouldn’t want to be in the same room with any of these 2 lol

    Agree. Roid head is a super twat but so is mr streamer. Why does everyone and their mother think they are social media stars? It’s a gym. Go gym

  • I Hate tik tok streamers so much

  • Posing room? There's a fucking Posing room at the gyms now??? Who the fuck is the poser fucking moron

    That's not a posing room, it's way too big. It's an exercise space for classes.

  • Can't tell who I'm supposed to hate and who I'm supposed to pity

    You can hate both and pity no one, that's always an option.

    the guy recording is using an empty classroom and not in anyones way or recording the general area.

    seems pretty clear to me who the asshole is.

  • Sorry was there not enough room for two there? Why was streaming allowed but not posing? Odd situation. Could have been dealt with better.

    Roid bro defo should not have been telling others to move. Spot was taken go elsewhere

  • What the fuck is a posing room?

  • This has never, ever been a ā€œposing room.ā€ WTF? It’s a regular studio room used for group classes.

  • Even if you felt entitled to act this way how could defending the concept of a posing room not take the wind out of your sails entirely for being utterly ridiculous?

  • So many troubles in gyms could be avoided if fucking filming in gyms was universally forbidden. I haaaaaate people who film at the gym. The roid guy was rude yes, but the other guy was annoying too.

    Imagine you’re in a gym with 100s of mirrors. You’re looking around for somewhere to look at yourself in a mirror and you stumble in an empty room except for one person recording themselves in one corner of the room. You tell that person to move so that you can look at yourself in the mirror.

    Who is annoying again?
