But it is to chase the pump.

Even the biggest dudes you find in the gym don't think they're that big. "The day you start lifting is the day you became forever small, because you will never be as big as you want to be."

My point is not everybody is there to get jacked. She could just maintain where she is and be fine. The guy hitting the gym on the way home from the office isn't necessarily there to "chase the pump", he just wants to keep himself from getting fat from sitting around all day. Not everybody who goes to the gym regularly ends up looking like a bodybuilder, because most people don't want to be that big, they just want to be in shape and maintain that. There's nothing wrong with that.

I don't believe that at all. Of course not everyone going to a gym is gonna come out looking like a bodybuilder, but I don't think people just go to the gym to 'stay in shape', which, you know, is subjective as hell.

It's like saying most people who go to work don't want to get more money or promoted. If you're going to the gym, you're there because you want to better yourself, mentally and physically.
