Gym stereotype subversion skit from @bryan__pierre

The creator performs a comedic skit impersonating a type of gym-goer. He first appears wearing a baggy t-shirt while acting exhausted from a workout, then turns to reveal he is wearing very short, tight shorts, subverting the expectation that the baggy shirt is for modesty, and walks away to emphasize the punchline.
