Question:
Is it cool to be an inconsiderate, unappreciative DICK?
I was at the gym earlier today. I was doing skull crushers and noticed a guy who was about 18-20 doing barbell bench. He was about 5'9 145, goofy ass curly hair, cut off shirt, carrying a gallon jug of water, and thought he was the shit. He did 135 a couple of times, bumped it to 155 and managed 2 half reps, and came real close to getting stuck on the 3rd rep. He then loaded 185 on the bar, and I thought I would go and offer him a spot. The little bastard didn't say a word, and stared directly at me, like I was some f*cking retard. I just stood there for a second, and then figured that his gesture meant that he didn't need a spot. I was SO hoping that the bar came down and crushed his sternum. He ended up going down about 4 inches, and then back up with it. Some people are such *******s. Do you guys think I was in the wrong by offering? I myself would have appreciated someone offering to help.
Cliffs:
I was being nice offering a spot
Little weak shithead pretty much ignored me
I wanted to snap his neck
he might be shy?
he might be shy? He sure wasn't acting shy. Slamming down dumbbells on Incline Press afterwards, looking around at everyone, doing that slow "I'm a hardass" walk.
i cant tell you from experience that it usualy dont pay to help other people
thats why i am a sociopath bastard
I think he was coming on to you.
Sounds like he's very insecure. But you did the right thing, one time I was benching a pretty comfortable weight. I started thinking about totally random stuff and all of a sudden the bar was on my chest I couldn't move it half an inch. But some guy quickly came over and helped me put it up, probably saved my life lol.
I think he was coming on to you. playing hard to get?
:D

I wanted to snap his neck i was bustin ass on bench the other day, was doing a pyramid and got stuck going up on my second set of 5x245 on the last rep, some dude came and helped me finish, i said thanks a lot man. and when he was leaving said thanks again.
doing shit like that really means a lot to those of us who know what etiquiette is and what its like to really lift. So because some douche bag didnt accept your help, dont let it change you, its nice to offer to spot someone and 9/10 its WELL appreciated.
nah man he sounds like a dik, the least he could have said was 'no thanks, I go tthis covered, aint you seen my guns?'
I like when ppl offer to spot if im alone.
i cant tell you from experience that it usualy dont pay to help other people

sounds like a badass guy too me .
He was probably intimidated

Reps on recharge for keepin' it ril
He sure wasn't acting shy. Slamming down dumbbells on Incline Press afterwards, looking around at everyone, doing that slow "I'm a hardass" walk. i try not to drop weights, but I do 100lb dumbell flat bench and 85 Incline... So i drop em a bit so i dont rip my shoulder out :p
I stretch alot in between sets, I think people view me as thinking im bad ass.. but , also doing like a lil powerwalk gets me pumped up lo.
i prob look retarded lmao
No thread hijack or anything but if you spot someone and they are struggling do you shout words of encouragement at them?
It helps me a lot if someone is shouting at me or just trying to get me pumped, I do it when I spot strangers but not to the same extent as when I'm with work out buddies. is this a faux pa?

I appreciate people, and I am usually the first to help someone out.
sounds like a badass guy too me . Oh he was so f'n badass.
He was probably intimidated Doubt it, I was 100% genuine and polite, just offering help

If I have never met you, I will try to encourage a few extra reps...usually by screaming "come on you f*cking pussy, my Goddamn grandmother can do this, I'm not touching the bar, if you can't do it then I hope you enjoy suffocating under that bitch ass weight you are attempting to get" (not serious)
