Dude at the gym

[onerepmaximum]

Not too sure what I should have done about this guy. My workout partner didn't show up at lunch, so I decided to get my chest workout in by myself. I did dumbells so as to reduce the chance of crushing my larynx. I believe in lifting heavy to get huger. So I get to my last rep with 105# DB's(heavy for me) and I'm doing a negative and this guy comes running from across the gym to spot me. I didn't say anything to him, he thought he was helping or whatever. After that, whenever I started to get to failure, he would stop whatever he was doing and rush over to "help" me out. He thought he was doing me a favor, so I didn't want to be a dick and tell him to leave me alone. Was I wrong for not choking the shit out of him? WWPBD?

well you could have just said... dude it's ok i am just doing negatives and he prolly would have left you alone from the start.

Who or what is PB?

 

[Bullit]

Depends... is he Plat?

If he's Plat then you betta recognize that we run things.
Its our world and you're just living in it.

[ohashi]

Ah.

 

[PoyeBoy]

I would have asked him for more negatives, like 2 more, then I would have ran over and done the same for him, but instead squirting him with my water bottle becuase he looked hot

when I say hot I mean sexy

when I say sexy I mean nice wiener

Just fuken tell him that you were ok and didn't need any assistance. Fuken easy.

 

[MsBeverlyHills]

I think he was trying to hit on you.

 

[IhateOsama]

I think he was trying to hit on you.

Yep. Just working you like butter.

 

[onerepmaximum]

I think he was trying to hit on you.

Well, he is in the Navy, that's probably pretty likely that he was.

 

[MsBeverlyHills]

more likely-- if that says Purdue on your sweatshirt, he was a Notre Dame fan just trying to be obnoxious... haha

I've had something similar happen to me. As soon as they get too close I let them know I'm OK and don't touch. Then when I'm done I just say thanks anyway.

 

[jackangel]

LOL, you let him do it everytime. I'm a nice, mild-mannered, and non-confrontational person, but even I would have said something after the first time.

You're such a swell guy, I'm sure you can break it to him gently if the situation should ever arise again.

 

[sigweed]

you should of told him that if he so much as looked at you again, you'd cut off his hands with a rusty hack saw and shove them so far down his throat he could play the piano with his jugular.... and then eat his children.

that or just thanked him and mentioned that you were alright...?
