Gym Rat - Insulting?

Oh!

  1. You go to the club because it’s “good cardio”…
  2. You bring a protein shake to the club to drink at closing time…

Definition of the gym rat ? The gym rat can be identified as (normally a male) who looks like he hasn’t done anything remotely resembling physical activity for at least ten years. Perhaps once jocks it seems the only thing they have lifted is beer and pizza to their face. One can normally find the gym rat standing by the mirror and admiring himself in his purple track outfit from the 80’s. Normally also featuring a dyed black perm and a gold medallion.

I think you are the only person who would use that definition to describe a gym rat. Someone who gets accused of spending a lot of time in the gym is usually not someone who looks like they haven’t trained in years.
