Alright, I know I already sent out a PSA for the 50+ gym goers, but this one is for the younger guys. Walking around the gym holding your arms 5 inches away from your side to make your shoulders appear broader, only makes you look smaller, when you are already small. I know you are trying to appear as big and muscular-y as the rest of the guys beefing themselves up in the weights section, but if you are just starting out at the gym, or you are just naturally thin, and less muscular-y, don't try to over compensate by walking awkwardly like you have a load in your underwear. Today at the gym I saw a thin guy walking next to his friend who was quite a bit more bulky, and they were both walking with that sway that a pregnant woman has and the smaller one was holding his scrawny arms out about a half foot away from his body, elbows slightly bent, as if his muscles were so big in his shoulders and biceps that his hands couldn't touch his sides. However, this just made him look silly and smaller than he was. I probably wouldn't have even noticed him if he held his arms naturally. Is it better to be noticed for something strange or just fit in? Or, fit in until you can be noticed for something great?
