What should I do about this punk in the gym?

[NJjuice22]

Ok I despise this one guy in my gym, for whatever reason he is extremely jealous of me and talks shit, I caught him the first time when he was with his girl at the gym, he looked at me and said some shit to her, like "look at this kid, juicehead".. now i;ll catch him saying shit about me to his friends every now and then, his friends just nod their had and dont even say anything back to him, i guess they realize he's just a hater. WHat should I do..the last few times I have seen him at the gym I have purposely looked him dead in the face and laughed at the weight he was using trying to get a reaction out of him so I can pummle him. He is beginning to infuriate me, should I let it go and just realize he is insecure and tries to put others down to make himself fell better (he's skinny, ugly, and is balding) or should I get this anger out of my mind by just going up to him and hooking him to the jaw(i was close to doing this last time i saw him)..im waiting for the day he says something to my face, because I will not hesitate to square up with im right in the gym. I dont care if I lose my gym membership, the joy of my bare knuckles cracking his orbital bones will be well worth it....and guys dont get the wrong picture here, im not one of those big cocky bastards that walk around the gym like they own it...im relatively average sized and i keep to myself at the gym.

I would just wait till you know he's talking about you and say, "Did you have something that you wanted to say to me?"

It'll probably scare the shit out of him and you can watch him squirm out of it in front of his friends. If he tries to act tough, you can do what comes natural.

Ignore him.

Or do what I did once:

Follow him around and ask to work in with him, stack the weights on for your reps and don't take 'em off.

Do it for a couple days and he'll have new found respect for you.

turn up your walkman and be the bigger man.

Playing his game makes you as bag as him IMO.

lol..i should be the better man and just ignore, however i love that second suggestion...i might just do that.

Go up to him and shake his hand. He needs a friend.

Nah Just ingore him. If he`s a hater, you know his brain is`nt working properly. At least his friends know the deal...

I wound up befriending the guy.

After two days straight of me working in with him, the ice and hate melted away.

Now we're not best of buds, but I invite him to play soccer and shit every now and again.

Depends on what he is aying.

I had one guy telling a chick I was a drug dealer. WTF? I couldn't let that slide

If he's just saying your juicing, fuck him.

Yeah when you are doing leg press ask him to sit on the rack because you have all the plates you can fit on there already and you need an extra 85 pounds. If he has a remark for you at this point I would drag him into the cable pully machine and rack him like the closing sequence in braveheart.
