Would love to hear how this works out. Took the high road here, confrontation would have been so tempting and so satisfying but clearly not the best course of action.

I am so glad to hear this is going to work out well. I have two kids, fifteen and twelve, and think I might have gone batshit if I found out the guy was playing with my kid - that’s seriously out of bounds. I’m really glad that management is going to handle it for you.

Do you get to send questions? Can you ask if his real name is Rippestiltskin? @FlatsFarmer wants to know. I just want to know if he falls into a chasm he creates when he slams his foot in the ground once he reads it, never to be seen again.

It’s von Rippestiltskin, and Mr. von Rippestiltskin to you!
I think we should write a Marvel script with him as a superhero. Fat ass, no guns, always looking six feet in front, always high bar, training acolytes to do the same.
BTW, back in the gym, finally, doing SS again, lol.
But, I channel my inner buddha while squatting so I get the good buddha belly.

Well, I’m at work and my wife is at the gym right now and the kids club closes in 1 hour so I’ll let you know! Appreciate it, I’m usually pretty docile but can get very confrontational at the drop of a hat so I’m surprised at myself for doing the smart thing here haha, although that night I walked around the gym in my work clothes to check for him might have yielded a different outcome if I’d found him.
Yeah, this was my initial reaction. My wife can take care of herself, and I have her back, but you stalk my kids, it’s on. I’m glad you didn’t find him.

There is so much good info available!
Here’s a video where the best coach of the bench press interviews a strength coach who was with championships teams in the NBA and NFL.
In this one, the same great coach talks to an 8 time Olympia winner AND the first guy to squat 1000, who coached the Olympia guy.

My ‘confession’ is I end up abandoning at least 75% of the posts I start writing on here.

Okay. So me and this girl have beef 
. I beat her in a game our class played in English, and now she “fake-hates” me. She’s kind of mean, but anyway; we’re competing against each other once again in a STEM project because we’re building the same thing.
With that being said, we’re using the same materials. My teacher gave us all a set budget (basically, we’re limited in the amount of materials we can use because each screw costs $25 dollars or something like that, each motor costs $100, etc.). We’re not using real money, and we already have all the materials in the room — we just have to account for it in our budget. It’s all imaginary.
So, anyway, the teacher said we’re allowed to sell our materials to other teams if we don’t wanna waste the time finding them. Now, mind you, this girl has been talking a lot of shit for a few weeks — ranging from “hey, you suck” to “I’m gonna beat you at this just like I do with everything else”.
So, my confession is that I stole all the screws, allenkeys, wrenches, screwdrivers and necessary parts for our respective projects that I could find. They’re in my locker. I’m going to sell them to her for double the price.
My other confession is that I’m going back to the STEM room after school to get more materials. I win.

A girl in my English class really liked me but thought I was ignoring her so she stabbed me in the neck with a pen.
Now that you have each other’s attention you should proceed accordingly to avoid that pen to the neck thing.

Not to freak anyone out, but there was a boy in 6th grade that I really liked/competed with.
This was before I found lifting to outsource my impulsive tendencies. He beat me on a math test and I stabbed him with a pen.
