It’s bulking season. And by that, I mean cookie-eating and eggnog-drinking season. That’s not exactly a lean bulk, but we’ll take it. Motivating to go to the gym around the holidays is difficult, with the sun setting early and the hot chocolate beckoning. That’s why most people put it off until January 1st when gyms start pushing memberships to help folks with their New Year’s resolutions. 

But some of us gym warriors are not just fair-weather lifters. We’re there even when it’s tough, with pre-workout coursing through our veins and the energy to rise and grind.

These memes will accompany you on your fitness journey and are as nourishing as a cement-thick protein shake. Lift away, friends.
