Fuck me sideways if this advice right here isn’t the best shit I’ve read on the forums in awhile.
Well above and beyond weight lifting, you need to learn how to deal with this shit, and get back to work, no matter how long the distraction. You have to learn this skill and learn it now.
Because when you are knee deep in a 95 hour job, and only have 6 man days to get it done (that is 48 hours at straight time with no staff), and a partner hands you some 6 hour bullshit, smiles and says “this should only take you an hour right”, you will be fucked if you can’t master what TBG is talking about here.
Read it, learn it, practice it. You will need it, unless you want to “nest week it is the fries” for the rest of your life.

Also, this, lol.
Life is rarely so complicated that the above isn’t an option.

you do what a powerlifter had done ( cannot remember his name) but he was known for being one angry mofo. If someone spoke to him, hed tell them to shut the fuck up and if they didnt listen hed throw a plate at them lololol. Would work. [/quote]
Probably Kirk Karwoski? He did the same thing if some was at “his” squat rack, on 5:30, on Monday.

The only people who come up to me are people I am usually already cool with. They also have the sense to wait until I am done with a set so it isn’t that big a deal. If you are talking for ten damn minutes, you have no one to blame but yourself. No one is keeping you from saying, “excuse me while I get this set in”.
If I train when the gym is crowded, there is no way I can avoid speaking to people. They are everywhere, and they tend to focus on people who look like they actually use the weights.

Pretty much this i talk to people all the time in the gym it’s really as simple as saying excuse me while I get this set in. Nobody could possible consider that being an asshole.[/quote]
The gym is a mental game too, consider it practice at maintaining your focus. Kind of like how a kicker in football learns to deal with icing the kicker, or a basketball player deals with the crowd while shooting free throws.
