In my entire personal network, I think I know only 1 person who actually lifts weights. Why is this? I wonder (1) what percentage of my friends regularly work out and don't talk about it and (2) what percentage of these people lift weights versus doing other stuff. I imagine it's (1) 50% and (2) 5-10%.

I’d imagine part of it is weight room culture tends to be macho. Also there’s a learning curve to power lifting form-wise so if you don’t have someone to teach you proper form it can do more harm than good. Also, anecdotally from my female friends, they don’t feel comfortable bc guys often stare which is sad

I don’t talk about my exercise regimen in fear of people (especially LPs that follow me) thinking I don’t work hard enough, especially as an emerging manager I work out 2-4hrs a day and that doesn’t *look* good. But I also don’t have kids and don’t do much else for fun (beside learning Spanish I guess)

One of the reasons I love crossfit - friends there are all likeminded fitness junkies - but can also afford a $250 / mo membership

genuinely think it’s a lack of education. people forget that the type of people on these social channels have some innate curiosity for self improvement and health IMO.

Invite them over to see your garage weights setup and if they get excited… they lift.

Rise of the tech bro meme has probably led to fear of talking about it In my experience it’s the most popular regimen for people who regularly work out
