When meeting someone new the first thing you notice is whether or not they have a squat booty.

When a make or break when looking for houses was a ceiling high enough to allow for overhead pressing and hanging rings from.

Ha, yes! Have yet to meet anyone randomly outside the gym who has one though.

YES! We're looking at houses kind of preemptively and the garage or basement space for a home gym is numero uno.

Ha! I barely see them AT the gym. Breaks muh heart.

You start thinking of food in terms of protein/not protein.

and I didn't even realize I do this until I read it. AH! hahahahaha

You're cooking a recipe and you suddenly realise "This'd taste great with vanilla/chocolate whey"

You start experimenting with what liquor would go best with your why protein (true story, I've had numerous conversations about this)

You start realizing that if you could do a squat with your family on your shoulders.

You recognize the difference between arms that do Bro curls and those that do compound exercises.

You realize you can lift more with 1 hand than you used to do with 2.

You are using the heaviest weights the gym has (or all of the weights) and they are not enough.

You describe everyday objects with their plate equivalents (that's about a big wheel).

Warriors don't count reps and sets. They count tons.

at my (uk) college (so highschool probably) gym i one rep deadlifted all the plates on an EZ bar (it was all we had lol) and i used to do the second at the last place i worked (steel factory, i'm a lathe machinist, i.e. lotsa round steel things) my team leader used to think i was showing off when i lifted over the health and safety limit of 25kg... 'noooo i'm just lifting it cause i can't be bothered to use the crane!'
