Any other gym rats here?

I realized today that I come from a gym rat mentality and not a "fitness" mentality. I have spent decades in iron gyms ... and the only reason I'm not still there is COVID and my son's situation.

I realized today that the conversations I have with gym rats are different than the conversations I have with "fitness" mentality. I think only other gym rats will know what I mean.

Please - fellow gym rats - appear like magic so I feel like I fit here and where someone understands my language!?!?!
