Train to look good with or without clothes.

[marqix ☆ @fwmarqix]

Joined a gym. First day, accidentally used someone's "regular" treadmill.

This MASSIVE bodybuilder approached.

Him: That's my treadmill.

Me: There's no names on it...

Him: There is now.

He put a laminated sign on it: "RESERVED - TANAKA"

Me: You can't DO that!

Staff: shrugs, He's been here 15 years. We let him.

Fine. I used a different treadmill.

Week 2: He reserved that one too.

Week 3: He had SEVEN machines reserved.

Me: This is insane!

Staff: Please don't make trouble.

Month 2: I started coming at 5 AM to avoid him.

He was ALREADY THERE.

Him: You're persistent.

Me: I'm just trying to work out!

Him: So am I. That's my bench.

Me: I'M SITTING ON IT.

Him: Not for long.

He just... stood there. Staring. For 15 minutes.

I left.

Month 3: I hired a personal trainer to help me navigate the gym.

Trainer: Oh, you're the one Tanaka is obsessed with.

Me: OBSESSED?!

Trainer: He talks about you constantly. "The foreigner who won't quit."

Me: I'm not quitting! I PAID for a membership!

Trainer: He respects that. That's why he's testing you.

Me: TESTING ME?!

Trainer: Last person he did this to is now a competitive powerlifter.

Me: I DON'T WANT TO BE A POWERLIFTER!

Month 5: Tanaka approached me during deadlifts.

Him: Your form is terrible.

Me: Thanks for the feedback

Him: I'll fix it.

Me: I didn't ask

Him: already adjusting my position

For the next HOUR he coached me.

Him: Again.

Me: I'm tired!

Him: AGAIN.

Month 8: I PRed on deadlifts. 140kg.

Tanaka was watching from across the gym.

He nodded.

Just once.

That nod felt like a DIPLOMA.

Month 10: New guy joined the gym. Used Tanaka's treadmill.

Tanaka looked at ME.

Him: Handle it.

Me: What?!

Him: He's using your treadmill.

Me: I don't have a...

Him: slides over a laminated sign "RESERVED - FOREIGNER"

Me: When did you make this?!

Him: Month 4. I was waiting for you to be ready.

Present day:

I have three reserved machines now.

I'm part of the territorial gym mafia.

Last week a new member complained to staff.

Staff: Please speak to Tanaka or the Foreigner.

New member: Who?!

Staff: points at us

We were doing synchronized bicep curls.

I've become the thing I hated.

But my deadlift is 180kg now so honestly? Worth it.

You better laugh at my jokes

[𝕾𝖎𝖗 𝕮𝖍𝖗𝖎𝖘 @eagleseyeinc]

tupac recorded 501 songs, but only 2 became top ten hits.

van gogh painted 2,100 paintings and only sold 1 while he was alive and it was 6 months before he died.

sabrina carpenter released 67 songs and five albums over the course of 10 years before she had her big hit "espresso."

glen powell spent 19 years trying to become an actor before "top gun: maverick" made him a star. 19 solid years.

and connor story spent 8 years waiting tables and he was ready to quit acting for good. and the day he almost got fired, he got an email and he found out that he got the lead actor role in "heated rivalry," the biggest acquired hbo show in history.

and you are giving up because you tried twice? or maybe 10 times?

look, a winner is just a loser that tried one more time and that's just it

winners lose more than losers even try.
