30 Hilarious Weightlifting Memes That Are Also Extremely Relatable
Most gym-goers would agree that lifting weights is one of the best ways to work out. There is no better feeling than pushing your muscles to the brink (while listening to some motivating tunes), tracking your gains, and then finally seeing all of your hard work pay off when you see your body transform and your performance peak.
But as with most things in life—including Baby Yoda, of course—there is also a lot of humor in the weight room, and gym culture in general. Feeling the need to tell everyone you know about how much you benched during your latest workout, trying not to skip leg day (or avoiding it at all cost), and every lifter's overall aversion to cardio are just a couple of things that make strength training so funny.
To (playfully) make fun of all of the lifting aficionados out there, we decided to round up the funniest photos, memes, and GIFs about the subject. Don't worry, you don't have to wait for us to finish this set to work in—here are the 30 best weightlifting memes on Instagram.
First things first, let's state some facts: lifting is the best.
