Do you help others in the gym?

Only if asked, no one appreciates being told they are doing something wrong, no matter how you go about it.

^^^ I completely agree. When you educate someone against their will you come across as arrogant.

I used to give advice in the gym, what ive found is most of it is unwanted. In the last 5 years ive given unsolicited advice twice. Once was to a guy who was about to kill his girlfriend doing the most atrocious form deadlifts ive ever seen with weight that is entirely too heavy and the second was the same situation but for squats. The guys looked pissed and embarrassed but the girls where thankful

This, Spot on for me and honestly I dont get asked often. I have the headphones on and am very much into what I am doing. People see that and tend to stay away I think. Thats ok with me. I have had people ask me things in the locker room or walking out and I am totally ok with talking to them then.
