Gym lad uses 'real' way of avoiding looking at female gym partner squatting in front of him

Going to the gym with your gym buddy is always a fun experience. You can laugh, compete for the most reps or come up with new workouts, but when you’re different sexes? It could spark an awkward moment.

A guy has been made fun of online after appearing in a video trying not to look at his buddy’s booty during a session in the gym.

TikTokers’ TT and Austin uploaded a clip joking about him having to use this ‘real’ method to keep his eyes away from her physique, everyone understood his struggle.

The duo regularly posts to their channel @gymoholicz showing their audience different workouts and funny skits.

This time, however, it was TT giving Austin hell for staring at the ceiling to avoid her.

It was all due to the positioning of the equipment which could have caused Austin to get an eye full.

In the footage, you can see TT coaching to lift weight lifts as Austin is sat directly behind her using the Lat pulldown bar.

Because of how their machines are angled, it put the TikToker in a pickle as if he looked ahead, he would have his friend’s butt in his face, but if he looked away, people would know he was avoiding the view.

Really, he couldn’t win.

Anyway, even TT was ripping on him when she posted the video and captioned it: "Bro didn't want to get caught in 4K."

She then added: "Guy staring at the ceiling [because] whoever placed these machines at my gym has zero chill."

The video sparked a discussion in the comments about how gym equipment is laid out in the establishments, essentially setting gymrats for failure.

One person sympathised with Austin and wrote: "This is so real.”

Another shared: "My husband has straight up changed his workout routine when women get on machines in front of him. One time he left bc the same girl kept on following him."

Someone else wrote: "My gym has the laying down hamstring curls facing the glute bridge machine with like a foot between them."

Another added: "My gym is the same way basically anywhere you doing any motion of squat or something the bench is literally right there."

Whilst a fourth said: "I always worry that I'm gonna accidentally stare at people, cause I am anxious and will look at anything that I see move."

Other TikTok users laughed at the struggle and said: "Bro wasn't just sweating cos of the gym, he was defo stressed."

Someone else laughed: "He’s trying his best to be respectful!"

One person was proud of him: "He’s got my respect.”

The pair regularly engage in risky TikToks, from straddling him to creating ‘relatable’ couple skits.
