@aeri20 Idk why you're getting downvoted. I'm not at the gym to socialize. I literally go after work at midnight when it's empty. To avoid shit like this and having to wait for a machine or a rack.
Kids got attitude. Nobody owes anyone anything. He also clearly didn't ask for help and wouldn't have received any advice or help well with his attitude.
Was OP supposed to go over there and offer to be his personal trainer? Like what the fuck?
I watch other people spin their wheels and do stupid shit all day in the gym. Usually their teenagers having pissing contests for who can dumbell press the most with bad form.
Am I supposed to go over there and tell them to eat more lower the weight and slow the reps down? Try this training program?
I was one of those kids once upon a time. And let me tell you. The kid in his mind is right and nobody can tell him otherwise. I just avoid them and keep to myself.
I also am not lifting anything I need a spotter for. Or I'm using a power rack with safetys.
If that makes me an asshole too then so be it. People learn when they're willing to learn. OP just shared an observational moment and if some stupid shit was said like I don't even know you.
Then 1. The kids right in his head. 2. He doesn't want help even if he needs it. Fortunately for him, he can't really hurt more than his pride with 115 pound bench.
If the kids scrawny enough to only hit 115. Perhaps OP WAS trying to be friendly by asking for the spot. Just trying to get him involved so he didn't have to continue waiting doing his arm stretches in the corner.
Unless OP is put into a shiny spotlight like Mr.Olympia or IFBB or acting or some shit. Where everything you do or say is hyper anaylyzed to find character flaw. This post doesn't make him look bad. Just honest observations.
