I think the video above is the most good faith summation of the gym Bro subculture and how it’s evolved over the years. It stands out to me particularly as I believe the majority of commentary and criticisms from the outside of the gymbro subculture are filled with weird claims that gymBros are inherently tied to alt-right or that fitness cultures are what’s leading men from embracing the positive potential of therapy and so on.

There’s value in exploring this subculture for all it has to offer as I think it’s one of the few spaces unreservedly dedicated to the well-being and lessons men need to improve and enjoy their lives.
