Woman and her best friend celebrating a breakthrough gym moment is girlhood at its finest

When someone is working toward a goal, every little step in the right direction means a really big deal. It can motivate the person and push them to work on their goals even more. This is especially common for those pursuing fitness goals—a glimpse of progress in strength or physique can spark a strong sense of pride. Something similar happened with a woman and her best friend, who is also her gym trainer, when they noticed a little tricep definition appearing. The video of their wholesome reaction was shared online by Eve Med, who goes by @evemeddersweightloss on Instagram.

The video opens with two women flexing their triceps on camera when, all of a sudden, one of them noticed a new tricep muscle starting to show. The moment they spotted it, they gasped in surprise. Gym trainer Layla Ashcroft, known as @gymcroft on Instagram, grabbed Med's arm in excitement. The two screamed with joy, celebrating the progress before Med exclaimed, "Did you see that?" as she proudly showed off her muscles again. In the next few moments, Med was literally on the floor, overwhelmed by her accomplishment. The clip also includes a close-up of her tricep, clearly highlighting her developing muscles.

“Can you look at that?” the enthusiastic woman asked again. “Slightly,” the gym trainer replied with a giggle. “Big vibes when your first little baby tricep comes through,” read the text overlay on the video. The clip of the excited friends has since received over 10.6 million views, with people flooding the comments to congratulate Med on her big gym milestone. @xtian_odinson wrote, "That's what's up! It's always the best when you surround yourself with people who believe in you! Big win for having such a supportive friend! And nice tricep!" @_.taylorstanley._ remarked, "I remember this feeling. I stopped going after due to other complications, but omg, it made me feel so powerful! I can’t wait to go back."

@legendary420saiyan commented, "This video is awesome. I love how hyped your friend was for you, when I was in prison and mine popped for the first time, my friend was the first to notice, too. We were acting like freaking children at a prison weight pile; the best part was the whole weight pile and the pile across the running track was hyped for me. I spent the week showing everyone in prison that I could I was so hyped. And the best part is everyone I shared with was hyped with me and in prison nonetheless. Anyways. You are doing awesome and keep up the progress. We're all hyped for you." @yogi.geo.mystic shared, "Hahaha, fair play to you, one of the most important muscles in the arm, too, lol."

In a similar story of female friendships, Tina Turner and Cher, were seen dancing together in a broadcast live of the "Cher Show" in 1975. They danced to a version of the song "Shame, Shame, Shame." James, who goes by @DrJamesJBailey on X, posted the clip and captioned it, "Please stop what you're doing and watch Tina Turner and Cher duetting in the campest way imaginable."
