Almost Got Into a Fight at the Gym

lol it’s always the same thing. Old guys who are hating on often stronger but smaller young guys. I got into confrontation 4-5 times last year at my old gym. A good portion of them were obviously on roids. Now I train at home and it’s much better.

no, COME AT ME, BRO!

The guy sounds like a douche, but so do you.

Shut him up by curling/squatting/power fapping more than him.

I know it sounds gay, but so is whining over the internet about someone who can lift more than you.

If your account of events is correct either politely ask him to meet you outside and punch him silent or find a new gym. Real simple. And yes, the guy will probably punk out.

I know this guy’s age, because he always talks to me a the gym and never shuts up. I’m not making this up at all lol. He constantly runs his mouth and started the whole “I can out out-curl you” argument on friday and continued it today. [/quote]

ok, im not trying to flame you. but i talk to guys at my gym all the time. and i never ever tell anyone my age. is simply not relevant to anything. and i honestly don’t beleive in age. but thats me. age to me only exists in your mind.

Btw, Bulgarian Split Squat is a stupid movement. Too much effort spent balancing and stabilizing. You lift weights to fucking move weight not dick around trying to get in position and keep from falling over. I also think for many it’s too much of a stretch position for the hip flexors.[/quote]

ignore.

Can you curl more? Just saying, sucks if you can’t. Also, beat him at his own game, get so huge/jacked/swole/meathead/grow a beard that there is no question in anybody’s mind who is the mouse in the situation. (USE IT AS FUEL) I like gym competition though. So I would have to find a way to compete with him w/o really competing with him. Like setting up for curls right next to him using obviously heavier weights for twice the reps and sets. Seriously. Haha I think it would work. Also, ignore him directly, if he says anything to you, just act like he does not even exist, don’t laugh, don’t make eye contact, don’t even acknowledge he is there. Because if you do, you are doing exactly what he wants you to do.

So just make it obvious to him that anything he can do, you can do better no matter what. Out work him while at the same time acting like it is just another normal day at the gym for you. If you act like an HIM (an ass) than you are, in effect, AN ASS. Don’t enguage asses directly, otherwise, you too, are an ass. Let him be an ass by himself. Everyone knows who is an ass and who isn’t. So don’t act like one. Don’t fight him, no matter how bad you want to just knock him out. That’s not how mature people do things, anyway. Mature people have better stuff to worry about then mice. You have your own agenda. Well, really in this situation you are MAKING him your agenda, while at the same time, making it seem like he is NOT on your agenda. Make sence mkay?

Man just put your head phones in and ignore him. The trainers at my gym used to call me ethiopian. I just laugh and crank the ipod. This guy wants you to be distracted by him so you dont progress. If he puts his hands on you fall down, act hurt, and call 911. then sue him its on camera most likely and spend all the money on supps. just saying.

In my neck of the woods we call this a hater. Tough guys also forget guns were invented along time ago but leave the shooting him to some other stupid fucker.

Don’t mean to hold the hammer over any good people in here who have been in fist fights. Fist fights do solve problems, to a degree. But I don’t think this is the kind of situation that is best solved by a fight. Yes, a fight would solve it, but then, he is going to talk trash behind your back, also, the law will get involved and you will have to go though the courts, this is just how it goes nowadays for the most part. The chance of that happening is just more trouble than it’s worth. Just make it obvious you are stronger. OR, just blow it off altogether, do your own workouts, and your own schedule and just never ever ever directly enguage him again. Don’t feed the trolls so to speak. Depends on your GOAL. Is your goal for him to stop bothering you? Buy headphones, is your goal to dominate and show him you really are stronger? Simply outlift him. Get thick (where I’m from, we don’t say “get swole” we say “Get thick” So. yeah…

38 is not fucking old! Old doesn’t happen until you’re 40+. But ask me in 2 years, and I’ll say 50+ = old.

Didn’t sergio oliva survive multiple gunshots from his wife, and they say he would have died if not for his muscle?

I think your problem is your not lifting hard enough, first of all if someones getting in your face and talking shit your face muscles are probably weak i make sure to work them out first thing by slamming my face into the wall repeatedly and grunt like a motherfucker just to let the rest of the gym know how much of a bad ass i am, also laying on the floor and tossing a medicine ball up and trying to headbutt it in descent is a excellent neck strengthener, you should probbably work on your leet ninja balance skills by doing the bosu ball mantis karate stance while screaming a warcry every 30 seconds to keep your ki energy up i am honestly i find lifting to be a near religious experience so i make sure to scream in tongues loudly just so everyone know i have the spirit of iron in me.

If you do this i guarantee no one will give you shit in the gym

Wait, you’ll believe there’s aliens flying around in saucers and that you have some spiritual link with Countess Bathory but you can’t believe some fanny in a gym would brag about his lifts?

Lol…something ain’t right here =P[/quote]

i said it was possible. its just ive never seen it happen. most people do their own workout. now, if 2 people know each other and are friendly, sometimes that sorta thing might happen. but for it to happen out of nowhere like that. maybe its just me. maybe cause of my size, nobody dares approach me with any type of bad behavior for fear of decapitation, lol.
