gym bro
Protein shake devotee
A gym bro is a man heavily invested in weightlifting culture—someone who prioritizes lifting, talks frequently about gains and protein intake, and often adopts the aesthetic and social markers of gym culture: tank tops, supplements, unsolicited fitness advice.
The term can be affectionate among enthusiasts or mildly mocking from outsiders: He's such a gym bro—every conversation leads back to his bench press.
