Definitions
The season — usually late winter through spring — when people collectively shift from eating their feelings to grinding for the body they want by summer. Buff szn is the cultural moment when gym memberships spike, bulking cuts get abandoned, and everyone starts posting their workout stats. It's equal parts motivation and meme, a shared acknowledgment that the clock is ticking before pool parties and beach trips expose the truth. Even people who don't go hard are aware it's buff szn.
January is technically new year szn but March hits different — that's when buff szn really kicks in.
