(Noun) Your life-long gym partner. The one you simply can't lift without. You would never dare let someone else spot you once you've found your true swolemate. You and your swolemate grow together, both literally and figuratively. Age, ethnicity, gender, body type, political affiliation, and sexual preference have no bearing on social acceptance of two people calling themselves swolemates. That is: prejudice against swolemates is non-existent.
Guy1: Dude, why are you here all alone? Where's your swolemate?
Guy2: He tore his rotary cuff doing incline, man. He'll be out for at least a month.
The purported International Government conspiracy to introduce the swine flu (H1N1) to the populous for the sole purpose of creating a "vaccine" that everyone will be scared in to taking--but which really is a microscopic chip that will enable remote mind control while watching any one of the news sites with a hidden signal activated every time they show a Twitter feed instead of an actual news story.
After watching the Daily Show clip of mainstream media fear mongering about H1N1 fears of side effects mediately followed by fears of vaccine shortages, it became clear that Swinegate is in full swing. Now turn off your television immedietely before you "magically" formulate an opinion based on such blather.
A swolemate is defined as:
"He is your partner for life. In times of PRs and failed sets, during your bulks and cuts. He's there when you need a spot or someone to record your form. He's there at your meets, during your program peaks, and deload weeks. You two are bonded for life by the glute gods to traverse the gym dimension, acquiring the gains before you in your lifetimes He is more than a bro (or broette). Thou is thy swolemate."

Random Guy: "Hey, do you need a spot?"
Swolemate 1: "Sorry, but do you even lift? I've got my swolemate with me."
Swolemate 2: "Dear Brodin, forgive my swolemate for the gains he's about to receive."
