dont get me wrong i wouldnt go out cussing out old women for no reason nor do i condone it. i dont think i need to defend myself about it either but my gym etiquitte is: the only time you talk to someone is if you know them, and keep it brief, or ask someone “how many more you got?” and of course if a chance to hit on a girl presents itself. other than that, shut up, focus on your lifts, get big to the point where people will come to YOU.

So let me get this straight: unless somebody knows YOU, they had better dare not talk to you. But if you see a hot girl, whether you know her or not, it’s just fine to interrupt her workout with inane blather. Do you not see the contradiction?

If you wanna hit on girls at the gym, fine, but then dont act like you’re so hard-core focused that someone BSing with you, or asking anything more than “how many more you got” will break your finely-tuned, intense concentration. Because if you’re keeping your eye out for chicks, you really arent all that focused. Which is fine, just stop trying to represent yourself as something other than what you are.

no broseph, i have my eye on the chicks because im not a fag. i dont go and blatantly interupt them either, like i said if you got a good oppurtunity dont let it go to waste. i always thought one of the perks of hitting the gym was getting ass.

Does anyone else have the feeling that this kid is all of 15 years old? He bases his thinking and actions on stereotypes and perceived stereotypes. That’s never a good thing…

There are some people out there, who have a good strength base, who have only ever used free weights.

Why is it ridiculous that I’ve never used cables before anymore so than you having never used kettleballs.

I like free weights, big deal.

He didn’t base his actions off of steretypes and perceived stereotypes…he based his actions off of THE WOMAN WHO SAID THE SHIT TO HIM BEING A BITCH. He verbally slam dunked her as a result. I don’t see the error in this.

He called me broseph!!! BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!! ok, seriously, you got us good, but you were trolling, right? Come on, admit, you had us going, but you were just putting us on, werent you?

Yes he did. He assumed that she assumed that he was an asshole or jackass for being a young male with a shaved head. He thought that the woman perceived him to be stereotypically asshole- or jackass-ish because of what he looked like. So, already, he made an assumption about the woman before anything happened.

I’m not going to bother with this any longer. When it boils down to it, there’s no reason for him saying what he said. I highly doubt she was trying to be a bitch to him (if she even was one to begin with). Regardless of what happened or did not happened or whatever else may factor into this, it was stupid of him to react the way he did and say what he said. For someone who’s so pissed off about being stereotyped, he sure didn’t help himself out by living up to it.

Riiight.

The internet (among other things) has eliminated the feedback loop that was once known as accountability. Lurkers (who joined 3 days ago) with such superiority over the general public most likely never suffered the consequences of making inflammatory statements in the presence of other human beings who may take offense to their remarks.

This thread really backfired on you…

NewD!

he is calling her a bitch because she called him out. He spews like a bratty boy and wants a pat on the back.

come on now. Take a look at it another way.

What if he was loading up to all of 80lbs on a front squat and was toppling over. Her motherly instincts kicked in to help the poor boy and he, in his pre-dawn of puberty, handled it really badly.

Besides, I can see you brushing someone off quite a bit aggressively, but I am betting you would not have been so vile to an elder lady at your gym

71

Dude. I’m not that big, but noone ever comes up to me and says shit like that.

Probably because I have decent form or something.

You probably are lifting too heavy. You probably do have shit form. You definitely have a shockingly bad attitude. Instead of making friends with people, you’re getting angry at them when they just want to help you.

It doesn’t matter if they know what they’re talking about or not, there’s no need to get so angry.

Thats just it, though. I’d have to assume he needed to be called out, which is what many are doing. Maybe he knew what he was damn doing, and didn’t need someone so bold to approach him with no TACT whatsoever to tell him what to do and what not to do. [quote]

[/quote] But, that wasn’t what he described. Even when approaching someone about to hurt themselves, you need to execise some tact when doing it. If they blow you off or are rude to you, then you can dismiss them or whatever. But saying someone is doing it wrong or too much yadda yadda yadda comes off pretentious and confrontational.

Quite the contrary. If some fucktard comes up to me when I’m working and says something stupid enough, I’ll blast them. How the hell are they going to learn to stop that shit?

OG, I think too many damn people are making too many damn assumptions that this guy deserves the comments. I have seen first hand the fucking weirdos that inhabit gyms and make it a habit to talk to people when they should keep their mouths shut. Here is the homegirl incident:

[quote]Some dumb old bitch says, doing some wierd aerobic cardio shit in an outfit out of the 80s with 5 lbs weights, is working out.

I’m minding my own fucking business, and go to do some 60 lbs db curls, (after I’ve done some other arm work), because I always try to up the weight.

After this I decided I wanted to practice my form on some cable machines as I never really used cable machines before, only free weights. So I was trying to learn good form from a book, and did a few reps.

Anyways, stupid female comes up and is like "You know, you’re only doing 1 or 2 reps on these machines, you NEED to take your EGO out of your LIFTING, and you’ll get a lot better that way, you should be doing at lot more reps, and you CURL too much, you should be doing 20s, since you’re new at this gym.[/quote]

Now, I am taking this post at face value. If this woman did this and said this, she deserves what she got. I am not going to assume that all other sorts of missing info is going on just so I can call the OP a brat. This kinda shit does go on in gyms, and I can see how it would be irritating.

HOWEVER, I do agree that there is the possibility that there is more going on here than he is letting on - if so, then so be it. I wasn’t there.

I mostly just wanted to call you nude, but I undestand how you are explaining it.

I just think it’s more like what Bauer said, a Lose-Loser

If she was a true wacko he still could have manned up and blew it off.

there probably is more to it, there always is.

Not necessarily.

The average commercial gym inhabitant typically believes that squatting below parallel is incorrect form and that 1/8th squats are safer.

they’re not going to learn, and that’s half the point. Nothing you can do or say is going to stop people from coming up to you. If it’s not the old woman tomorrow than it’ll be the teenage guy, or the soccer mom, or the 1980’s zubaz pants bodybuilder … I would go so far as to say that if you DONT have people coming up to you in the gym every so often, you’re probably doing something wrong. If you don’t learn to take it with a smile and a nod before you go about doing exactly what you were already going to do, you’ll spend 90% of your workout verbally abusing these well-meaning - even if somewhat tactless - people. In what way does that help you?

So you are strong enough to do arm curls with 60 lbs and you were trying to learn good form from a book. Please take your comments and posts to www.bodybuilding.com; they will be better suited there.
[/quote]

Your point makes no sense.

Why exactly would being strong enough to curl 60lb mean that you should automatically know correct form for an exercise that you have never tried before?

It makes perfect sense to read up about an exercise before trying it for the first time.

I’m specifically referring to those who approach you and are rude. To those, I will never “smile and nod.” In my opinion, based on what the OP has written, the woman came across that way.
