There was a very clear period of time when the selfie — much like the duck face, or taking photos with iPads — was still a relatively new phenomenon prone to widespread public ridicule. But no matter how cool we are with selfies, #Gymselfies will never, ever be cool. #Gymselfies are silly and should be banned.
We get it, you like going to the gym and you want everyone to know, you certainly don’t have to announce it to the rest of the world. If you absolutely must take these mirror selfies, do it at home, or, well… actually they’re pretty ridiculous wherever you take them.
Total Chaos
There is so much going on in this photo, we don't even know where to begin. From the man showing off his torso in the background to the guy crying while squatting some weights and being held by a friend, it's total chaos. And we haven't even mentioned his shoes!
Exercising with your friends might sound like a healthy hobby that's meant to make you happier and increase your well-being. But the gym is a fallen world — full of chaos, men baring their chests, and bad taste in shoes, and that is why so many people would rather stay at home.
The Good Old Days
You probably think you’ve heard all you can possibly hear about the good old days. You might think you're full to the brim with historical facts and tidbits, but you probably didn't know that people used to exercise with hoopla wheels. They resemble hula hoops, but these were actually much bigger and made out of metal.
To use one of these bad boys you needed excellent coordination skills and an incredibly strong core. Not to mention your grip better be good, otherwise, you could risk falling and embarrassing yourself during a time when a man's reputation rested solely on his masculinity.
A Raging Workout
A gym is a beautiful place filled with kind and gentle people and a welcoming spirit. Just look at this guy, who doesn't look angry at all. He's just channeling all his energy into his workout, which, makes him look incredibly angry. Honestly, if we didn't know any better we'd think he might be a little ticked off.
Using anger to power a workout every now and then isn’t a bad thing as long as you’re aware you're doing it. Otherwise, you might let it go haywire, like by starting out too hard or too fast, you can risk injury and burnout. If this guy isn't careful, he could hurt his back.
Haircut at the Pool?
Out of all the places where you can get a haircut, the pool at the gym is not one of them. Maybe in the bathrooms, but even that's a bit strange. We don't know what the woman is thinking but we do feel sorry for her kid, being raised by crazy is a difficult way to grow up.
Sadly, there are a lot of crazies in this world, and true to form, most of the nonsense can be seen at the gym. On the bright side, this haircut is going to save a lot of water as the shampoo and rinse portion is conveniently located next to a pool.
