does anyone "coach" other lifters in the gym?

I did read some of the stuff you had posted on TB500 and was thinking of giving it a shot for my shoulder. Damn thing has been hurting for over a year. It is alot better but still hurts. I have just recently been able to touch my chest with the bar doing bench again. You still use it dont you for maintenance.

Ive only ever given real basic advice to complete newbies who obviously know absolutely nothing. Last little thing I advised on was to the little Indian fella in my old gym who was using straps but wrapped round the bar the wrong way so kept dropping the bar. He used them for every lift and Im guilty of waiting a long time before telling him how to use them properly, as it was too much fun watching him butcher his workout.

By the same token I knew it was pointless telling him he should have waitted for his grip to fail before using them etc. As they say, you can lead a horse to water, blah blah blah.

Biggest problem I see around me is guys wanting to build big muscle but not understanding bodybuilding isn't weight lifting. Well that's my opinion anyway.
