HAHA! Good one!

[Back In Black]

Ah, sarcasm. The lowest form of wit.

[pitweiler]

When I first started working out in high school a guy came up to me and corrected my form. I appreciated it. The one time I gave advice to someone because they were about to hurt them selves. I politely told him that he could hurt himself doing it that way and showed him the proper form. He told me to mind my own business and that was it. I see it all the time. Especially from kids in high school. If they're serious about it. They will research the right way or learn the hard way

It's my sarcastic British sense of humor, you have to have one to get it! Nevermind.

Good day mate! lol

well im just a dumb redneck from the south so ....I wouldn't know.

To answer the op, I don't like it when people give me advice if I don't ask for it. I get offended when someone comes up to me in the middle of a set and tells me how to do it correctly....usually smaller guys too....gotta love that.

[ironbeck]

Post it man.

your an idiot.

[GirlyGymRat]

I asked one guy for help with 1 machine. I hated to bother him bc he works out hard and it shows. He was very sweet and took a moment. When I was looking for someone to help, I NEVER even for a second thought to ask staff or even a personal trainer. I much rather ask the guy that looks like he is getting results.

Ah, sarcasm. The lowest form of wit.

Now that, I resemble. My burden to bear.

[Giggle]

Even I think that's funny - and I don't really care for the C word!

There's an ignorant cvnt in most gyms. Just that some gyms ignorant cvnts are more ignorant and more cvnt like than others.

i don't think he said he bench them "like a boss". i think he said he drop the db "like a boss".

some silly thread about new-found confidence.

I thought you had to be 18 before you joined the forums...how did he get a hall pass ?

Sustanon fighting guy or box fvker guy.. those were the good ol days!! lmao

OP sorry for the derail. But to contribute some: no, I am a selfish sucker at the Gym and tell myself the following:

"There are three types of Physics":

"Kunfu"
"Hollywood"
"Real life"

lmao!!!

Only with young kids. Like a high schooler. I would have liked help early on

[DB1982]

When I first started lifting, I really had no clue what to do.
I knew nobody at the gym.
So most of the times I would just watch the biggest guys and emulate what they did on a far lighter scale.

I was 140lbs and working my ass off to get bigger.

I never dared to chat with the big guys in fear that they seen me as just little skinny guy and laugh in my face.

But as time went on I watched and learned things here n there.
As I started to see some change in my body it fueled my fire.

Some of the regular big guys started giving me pointer on this n thats. Or when I was struggling to rip out those last few reps , they'd come over and be that voice of motivation to crank out those final few reps.

Those instances really helped alot. And wish more guys that knew what they were doing . Would help some of the more novice guys achieve a better quality of life.
Even if it's something simple that could be the difference.

So to those who do help. Thank you
And those who don't , Try it you might find in the end it'll make your day as much as it might make theirs.
