Skit about acting cool at gymfrom @grillguy
[01]
Overview
The creator performs a comedic skit where he practices conversations he plans to have at the gym now that he has new, 'cool' gym clothes. He walks towards the camera, greets an imaginary person, asks about squat racks, discusses his workout split, and brags about how sore he is. He then unzips his hoodie to show off his moisture-wicking 'NOBULL' t-shirt, explaining its benefits for intense workouts, before walking away.
