I just smile knowing that dude is always going to stay skinny because he doesn't know what the hell he is doing. I'll stick with my "light" weights and grow.

I see it all the time and do nothing. If someone actually said something to me I'd ask him why he looked like such shit for being such a strong dude.

I don't even pay attention to it anymore. I usually find my way to the spot where nobody is( leg section for sure) or I just go late when nobody is there. In my gym monday and Tuesday are peak days the rest of the week it's a ghost town except for about 5 of us and we're all cool with each other and train pretty hard so it works out pretty god

Sunday is leg for me .I was on the squat rock and the wife was on the smith machine right next to me .she was waiting to spot me .the idiot walk over and took her weights and said to his girlfriend a bag is here so I went to grab the bag he didn't even acknowledge we were using it. OK he was leg pressings I went over and ask how many set you have to go he said 2 i said you are very strong he said how much you want me to leave on I said it good. He had 7 plates a side and he was making a bunch of noise. I went and put 4 more plates each side for my first set I went up to 15 a side in 4 sets I find out she is his girlfriend. Let see what up now .

Gyms are full of grade A clowns. Some days ill come in and do abs, some pushups, or perhaps a small circuit with lightass dumbells just to keep everything active as i dont like full days off, and youll get the ones going away saying they seen you in the gym and youre weak, they dont see you on the days youre training heavy....clowns, should of crushed his fkn windpipe in changing room and said fkn stronger are you, physically remove my hand from your throat cunt

I let him feed his ego because I know the next time I see him he will have made no progress!! Then when I see him the next year he will have made no progress ! And on and on and on!! Lol

Lol, ignore it.

Thanks for all the response. I used to work out heavy but I now focus on my techniques and form make sure the muscle I am training to the work. I work out with my wife so I don't use head phone. I just joined this gym .think I may work out in a tank top a few days

Darkhorse777's picture

I just laugh or sometimes for the hell of it ill grab those 50s and pump out a set with really great form then run down the rack usually by then their tails between there legs and their gone but i like training biceps lighter as well with little rest pushing as much blood in there as i can. I let peoples ignorance fuel my workouts sometime. If someone does something that bothers me i just take it on the weights.

I have wireless head phones and go late just for this particular reason. I don't give a shit what someone else thinks I'm in there for me , no one else. It isn't the poundage you move its how you move it. I'm worried about what I look the other 22 hours outside the gym not the 2 hours I'm in it. If someone wants yo flex their ego good for them they're the exact reason planet fitness exists because they have to swing their dick everywhere they go. On a side note my wife moves more weight than the majority of the clowns in my gym. I don't pay attention, I'm focussed and I'm there to complete a mission.

Switching to 20s was an awesome move!
I honestly don't think I would have even noticed, I keep my headphones turned up pretty loud.

alayna's picture

i wouldn't even give a shit so I'd do nothing except keep my focus on my own training

Nothing - the only person weight on the bar should really matter to is a power lifter. For BB it's time under tension and the mind muscle connection that really matters. This guy obviously didn't know what he was doing and eventually he will injure himself. He is his own worst enemy.

kodiakGRRL's picture

Power lifters don't work accesory muscles like that so they don't give a flying leap how much they can curl ..

iFit's picture

let you know today or maybe not. I couldn't care less what others are lifting. I'm there for me and not to impress anyone else.

TheFlash85's picture

yep, sorry but you lost, challenge? should of waited in car park for him, bashed him, then asked his misses who's stronger now.

Catalyst's picture

I honestly doubt I'd even notice. I'm there to train.

I laugh and ask him if he has little man syndrome!

I smile and am overcome with a feeling of pleasant satisfaction. Then I proceed with what I'm doing.

mightymouse1000's picture

Walk up politely introduce myself to him and his wife : P
And pretend to be worried and ask if he wants me to show him the proper form

kodiakGRRL's picture

it depends on what I am doing that day ... mostly I just watch and see if they hurt themselves

Pale's picture

I drop everything, grab a 20lb dumbbell and proceed to beat his brains out. Then take his girlfriend out for a sundae. I'm kinda crazy like that..

xflipside's picture

I usually laugh and continue my workout.
He'll injure himself eventually one day doing that, rather childish of him to try to one up you to his wife. She's his wife for a reason, he must be insecure about himself

Bro, I use extremely heavy weights in strict form. I'm way too busy with my trainer making sure I got all the right joints wrapped up tight so I don't tear my body apart and get injured to even notice that anybody else is even in the gym. It's like they don't even exist. Keep training - you'll get there eventually.

manbearpig's picture

does wrapping your joints help that much? last cycle my squats were at 545 and bench at 405 for a few reps. my body couldnt handle it. i had terrible pain in my elbows and knees always.

Dickkhead's picture

It sure does. Anything over 495 on squats - knees get wrapped tight. Wrist wraps for benching and shoulder presses for all sets. You can also get compression sleeves for your elbows for heavy bench. But, on bench, anything over 405 - right elbow gets wrapped.

MedDx's picture

I do pyramid on biceps. After the 30s I grab the 35s and do 12 reps on chest and bicep days....

Greg's picture

Nothing. I'm a grownup.
