+ 3 "Alpha" Wannabes

ad

Small rant. Sick of the "Alpha" wannabes at the gym. You know the guy that lifts weights and has tattoos and walks SO SLOWWW around the gym like he has 45lb plates in his shoes while holding an energy drink like he is on a Monster Energy commercial. Im sorry dude. You aren't bigger than anyone so stop acting like you are 7ft. You don't have more tattoos than anyone so stop acting like your from MS-13. You aren't the alpha. Stop acting "hard". If you have to outwardly "act" alpha, try and look alpha, etc YOU Aren't alpha!j

I even hate the term "alpha" I feel it is overused and really I have met an extremely rare rare amount of people I would say are alpha males. And by rare I mean maybe 2. And those people don't look it outwardly, don't act it outwardly etc. The are unrecognized because they are comfortable in their setting without care.

Bro, I feel you! Nothing more cringe than those 'alpha' wannabes strutting around the gym like they’re carrying an extra 100lbs, chugging their energy drinks like it's a sponsorship audition. Acting tough doesn't make you tough! It’s like, dude, we all know you’re not walking around with MS-13 cred or some pro bodybuilder status. If you gotta try that hard, you’re missing the point.

And yeah, the term 'alpha' is so played out. The real alphas? They don’t need to show it off, they just exist, solid and secure without the flex. I’ve met maybe one or two legit ones in my whole life, and they weren’t even trying. Keep it humble, bro, and just do the work!

Is this the male equivalent of the girls who go to the gym with full make up, hair done, yoga shorts so far up their ass you can count the wrinkles on the butthole and make disgusted faces anytime they notice someone even glancing in their direction?

Spool's picture

I love those skin tight leggings so god damn much. I don’t think they realize we can tell what everything looks like despite not being able to see directly.
Bad Tip: When you get caught glancing, stare harder to establish awkwardness.

On the other side; there is this short Hispanic type dude at my gym and he is always on a group zoom call or “streaming” during workouts. Anyway, last time, someone in his “chat” was talking shit I guess and this dude proceeded to yell and scream into his phone, flip out, threatening to fight whoever it was making a huge scene for 30 minutes. Others were definitely uncomfortable but this dude is anything but threatening. Obviously something is wrong/off there.

I like your style mate LMAO

Mate there are tonnes of those fuckers over here - you can tell going to the gym for them is purely to get some attention off hoards of men rather than getting their heart rate over 100. A lot of them are getting these Fake arse implants now which look ridiculous from the side as they resemble a kind of half moon deformity that then disappears into legs with no muscle on them.

Unfortunately, no one will ever consider taking this message seriously although many should. Many would agree with your stance on this. If you would consider taking friendly advice, I suggest a hoodie, some noise canceling headphones and just zone out in your own world and do you. Private and more expensive gyms usually eliminate this type of nonsense but you’ll always have narcissistic people needing validation or to self gratify themselves somehow.

ChuckThaDuck22's picture

Pandora’s box but I’m glad you said it, I think it’s a little deeper than this, depending on where you lift, if the clientele is older , kinda not experienced in lifting , the sense of community is so shitty, those guys don’t wanna see cut of shirts and kids acting like dummies,

I don’t belong to a major gym, my union contract allows us to workout at the rec center for free and at least once a week you get the 20-25 year old who comes in so cock strong, fucking cut tee, wearing cologne the whole fucking nine.

The thing that gets me is the shadow boxing!! It never fucking stops, everyone is Floyd mayweather in the gym, most of the old heads are trying to chill, I’m lifting in my work clothes too boots and jeans so I’m always under the watchful eye of some union rep.

It’s very uneasy feeling when everyone is pitted against each other, we have a “real gym” down the block and when I’m working I see nothing but DIMES going into the gym, we in a beach town on Long Island the dimes are a dozen, that’s gonna bring the douschebags into view

If you can’t stand these tough guys in the gym you simply go up and press them, tell people how you really feel, see if he’s actually cut that way, you may find you have more In common, the hard exterior is a defense mechanism man, we only humans, some of those dudes are actually straight killers

They walk and act tough cause they just are, I’m literally only 200lbs though and everything should be fair weight wise, nobody 250lbs should be pressing 180 pound newbs, hence weight classes, pick on the ones your own size or box up for a challenge

I like this post though, glad you spoke your mind dude, face tats are gay especially the guys who never had but one or two of them but then they hit the Pen and get the teardrops LMFAO

Oh u mean the tough guys that were just benching 135 like it's nothing getting up like they just did something. Then doing deadlift with 315 like it's 600lbs. Skinny as fuck cut off sleeves? Seems to be going around huh? I thought it was just by me.

The real alpha’s only come out when shit hits the fan
The rest walking around big in hopes noone picks on them or call them out.
And the beta male is a whole other screwee up thing that needs to change.

Black90tsi's picture

Maybe i'm fortunate but i don't see any of that typically. Of course i also get to the gym by 5 am because i don't want to have to deal with other people or wait to use equipment much. There's maybe 18-24 people in there and half of them are on the cardio equipment. By the time i leave 45-60 minutes later that number has doubled and you can just start to see people hovering around occupied equipment.

I always slam my 32 oz monster before i walk in the door. I don't want to make everyone else jealous or anything.

TheIcon's picture

Im a 5am person too but there is always atleast 2 walking around like frankenstein lol I just chuckle to myself all the time when I see them. Especially since the other 85% of the gym is maybe 65+ year olds.

Black90tsi's picture

Half the people that early are senior citizens.

Last week there was one of the more attractive girls doing rows on the smith. This tiny old lady, her back is literally bent over at 30 degrees, is looking to do the leg press right next to her but doesnt see any 10's anywhere. She looks around doesn't see any hanging on the side of the smith then notices all of them on the bar. It's not moving and she clearly didn't notice the girl so she grabs one, throws on the leg press then goes back to grab another and this girl just turns into a cunt about it. "I'm clearly using those!" It was an honest mistake but i couldn't help but laugh at chick for getting so angry over something so stupid. Guy next to me realized that there were plenty of 10's on the next smith before i did so he walked over, grabbed one and gave it to the granny.

I don't find that girl nearly as attractive anymore.

NWApatches's picture

I understand exactly.. what you are seeing is that person's biggest insecurity at the surface. I cannot stand insecurity, it drives me like nothing else. I won't ever be next to these people.. the energy It takes for me to just survive won't allow me to. These aren't "alpha" males they are simply SLAPDICKS. Watch out for the tough guys, they get me in trouble faster than anything. I love stripping them down and shitting on them which is not good for me to do because it makes me judgemental and a douchebag but I get a feeling from it I don't get anywhere else.

I don't want nothing to do with those candy ass insecure type of guys honestly. I mean they hate, lie and gossip just to make themselves feel better and even worse is a few folks will believe them. Lol like I said it's like a female would act. To me that's not normal for a true male. I've never been the type to just act like that so I can't relate at all. But like you said somebody will eventually light their ass up like a Christmas tree. Hate to say it but sometimes that's what it takes.

Lol you said slap dicks. First time I've heard that one

RobertB80's picture

Call me conceited but the only guy I’m checking out in the gym is me (that’s who!) unless someone is getting in the way of me picking up or re racking weights I’m focused. Definitely feel more alpha in the gym than out of it because test levels are sky high and it’s my happy place. If im walking around like Billy Big Bollocks it’s because in that moment I am! Lol

Said you are only checking yourself out at the gym. I agree except I check out some of the gym whores (instagram whores) that want to be checked out too.

Only guy I’m checking out wasn’t it? Now if we are talking trannys then @ChuckThaDuck22 might be giving them that Alpha stare down Lol

You’re on Tren right now , shredded at that so i know the shit is kicking into you, I’d be hard pressed to find out you wouldn’t atleast watch some of the top tranny porn on the web.

I ain’t even worried about dudes at the gym honestly there’s Two older black ladies that work at the rec one of which is seeming very sexy lately it’s actually driving me insane she’s got 30 years on me easily.

Every single solitary female looks ready for me to breed , it’s actually sickening but hey I do keep it respectful especially to the older ladies. They love a sweet charming young man Blum 3

Haven’t had that from tren mate. Everyone keeps raving about it in that way. Found I was much more depraved on var. currently fucking the only female I want to be with and zero interest in porn. Completed most sites several years ago when coked up and nowhere near the gym Lol

ChuckThaDuck22's picture

Good! I’ve worked backwards and picked back up the porn after prison after doing no fap for about 9 months, I did have paid in full tinder so no matter what it was never enough

You got the Mrs for this sexual energy though, yuuuuuuum, Tren and mast dick is a guaranteed crowd pleaser eh?

Where my rant goes is at the beta arse mofos who moan about the big heavy alpha males walking slowly with there energy drink because there tired and trying to recover from the monster set and weight the beta male is jealous of seeing him smash out. Alpha males stand out from the crowd , just because he’s bigger stronger and more confident than the beta male does not mean he’s a twat , no the little bitch arse beta male who does the most beta thing ever and says fuck all about what he’s thinking to the alpha because he has little shrivelled beta balls , so runs home and types up on a forum about how he hates the big boys --

Amen brother, imagine living so rent free in someones head you don't even know. And he even finds the need to post about it on some steroid forum lmao.

Anytime I see a dude bigger or more alpha or whatever the fuck that may be, thats motivation for me honestly. I want to be the guy living rent free in some random dudes head (no homo) lmao.

ChuckThaDuck22's picture

Quote me on everything I still love,

When our rec center does produce a serious lifter with a much better physique etc, I’ve made it my obligation to strike conversation up, congratulate the person for their progress .

Fake natty or nah? Sometimes I find myself judging that a lot and getting it wrong ,
Like what you said my guy

This is where I went wrong during my teens going to the local BBing gym when I was a little natty lifting fuck all, I'd see some of these monsters wondering how the hell they looked and lifted the way they did even though I was aware of steroids. I was always way too intimidated, shy and wary of approaching them and trying to talk to them as I thought they would just kick the shit out of me for no reason LOL In reality if I had they would of probably been pleasant with me and helped me with lifting - it wasn't as if I was trying to be something I wasn't and they would of known I had just started out and wasn't on gear. As long as people are friendly and respectful towards you nobody is ever gonna turn round be a cunt towards you, unless they are a true twat.

Mikeyt84LINY's picture

Now that is a whole other animal. The guy everyone's staring at with slacked jaws cuz they only seen weight lifted that heavy or a physique like that online. Yeah i sometimes get that allot. Oh wait. I thought u were talking about me oh and just because he's so strong and focused and looks how he does. All the little guys in the gym who can't figure it our. Just label him a douche bag. But their girlfriends are watching him smiling when there 180lb. Boyfriend isn't looking. Yeah that's a regular day for me. Lmao.

See Alphas don't stand out. Atleast in my head they don't. They aren't always bigger, or stronger, or better looking. Thats why I said I think I have met maybe 2 in my 45yrs that are true alpha type. And its a mentality. Its not a look or act. You either have it or you don't. Its kind of like charisma. You can't teach charisma. You can't teach acting like a top dog. Its the people that control a room without trying. Its the the people that are comfortable while kaos is around them. To me the "fakes" are the ones depending on looks, acts, walks, weights. I don't think Top Dogs want to be noticed. They lye in stealth.

CHIMAIRA75's picture

Well said! A true alpha had nothing to prove to anyone. They are fully aware of what they are capable of and have no need to prove anything to anyone. Generally a rather kind, quiet dude, but will shred you if you cross him. And there's no need for him to vocalize it. You just know! Haven't met many myself. Far and few in between.

And could that same guy not be big or walking with a pump on because trained hard and also drinking a monster ….. you see what I’m saying. There’s no reason why the big bench mofo logging the big weights or the little skinny dude just plodding along are not both alpha males … but the insecure guy who says the big guy isn’t just because he’s big most definitely isn’t alpha
