4. …You wear long pants with a sleeveless tee to cover up your scrawny legs and show off your “broceps”.

6. …You designate your meals by number instead of traditional terms like breakfast, lunch, dinner, etc.

8. …Your leg day consists exclusively of machine exercises.

11. …You wear bodybuilder posing trunks during training.

18. …You wear a lifting belt during pretty much any exercise that doesn’t even involve your core.

23. …You talk to yourself in a conceited manner during your sets—“Yea, squeeze it, c’mon, one more rep.”

30. …You have UFC/MMA logo tattoos.

39. …You do lat pull-downs instead of pull-ups or chin-ups.

47. …You carry pre-packed Tupperware full of chicken breast and rice everywhere you go.

    I think I'm a Bro Lifter. I can't stop flexing between sets. I'm super glad my gym is in my house. I can be as conceited as I want :bigsmile:

    What about the bro-science advice during lifting sessions? That's important too, no?

    22. …You’re a Caucasian male brought up in a middle/upper-class family from the suburbs that wears sleeveless tees in the gym to show off his tribal tattoo (which signifies your otherwise non-existent Native American heritage to the fullest).

    Haha, Brandon Campbell :D

    2# I guess I do this as I sleep for 4 hours usually and will have a protein shake as soon as I'm up.

    4# I do wear long trousers but only because it is always cold.

    9# This is a good idea , I don't get why people neglect abs.

    48# yes but every 2 hours otherwise I forget.

    I do:

    7. …You text and/or talk on the phone in between sets. (what else am I gonna do in between my top sets of squats, bench, or deads where I'm resting like 3-5 minutes)

    12. …You base who you listen to solely on how a person looks. (For me I don't listen to people who aren't strong, why would I listen to someone who isn't successful in what I want)

    28. …You train hung over. (sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do, can't get lazy)

    Funny, although not all are entirely true (hence the "might be" I guess.)

    My lifting partner wears sweatpants because he has a naturally tiny frame and is ashamed of his tiny ankles. He squats 500lbs, but thinks his legs are too skinny.

    I do lat pulldowns only because I can't do pull ups yet. (more than 2-3).

    I just wanted to give credit (and clicks) to the original author of the article.

    I can't actually figure out from this list what's NOT a bro lifter, but that's probably the point.

    5. …You wear DJ-style headphones while you train.

    They've got my number. Though why that would make me a bro, I have no idea. Something about the shape of my ears makes ear buds unbelievably uncomfortable.

    39. …You do lat pull-downs instead of pull-ups or chin-ups.

    I do lat pull downs, but simply because I can't do a full good form pull up - once I can do full pull ups, I will. I do chin ups (max of five reps per set at the moment).

    I do assisted pull ups with my toe on an incline bench when I couldn't do pull ups, just a suggestion.

    I am 17 and 50. Yeah, buddy!

    Originally saw this and thought, "uh-oh, let's see how much of a bro lifter I am".

    I was doing so well, not conforming to any of them until "43. …You use a neck pad on the bar during squats" & "47. …You carry pre-packed Tupperware full of chicken breast and rice everywhere you go".

    Damn.
