In the gym tonight.....

[kevcat]

I think it doesn't matter how somebody trains as long as:

-his goal is getting big, and he's big
-his goal is to look great, and he looks great
-his goal is being strong, and he's strong

Just my two cents.

Agreed.

So im doing my final set of barbell shrugs and notice this guy watching me.I go all out with a pretty heavy weight and when i finish and am barely breathing he tells me im not doing the exercise correctly.
Now not to brag but im probably the strongest guy in this gym ( its a university place where mostly skinny dudes 'hang out' , hardly any serious trainers ), and this guy is chubby and doesnt look like he even breaks sweat when hes there.I also know what he was benching at the time i was , i warm up with.So i was kinda speechless that this guy would have the balls to tell someone who obviously works out harder than them , how to do an exercise.I just kinda looked at him and smirked, then got on with the next set.

So anyone ever encounter shit like this?

This guy would have known what to say...

Barbell shrugs?  Deadlifts too hard bro?

Tips on "form" should be given upon request imo.

Not to invade your post with my own story... but a similar thing happened to me once...

A few years back... I was squatting 455, and I got 3 reps...  Not ATG or anything... but stopping at parallel for sure...  Anyways this twink with no ounce of muscle, wearing spandex pants and looks EXACTLY like the Sherminator (From American Pie), comes up to me and goes "That doesn't even count!"

I was like "Excuse me?"

He goes, "You gotta go ATG man..."

I was like "I went to Parallel"

And he goes "Big Ron Coleman goes all the way down to the hole with 800 lbs!"

I was like "Well, with everything he's taking, he can do whatever the hell he wants"

And he's like "Oh bro, you think he's taking anything? I'm pretty sure he's 100% natural, man!"

I was like "Alright buddy, you have a good work out!"  And I just walk away!!!

you need to get even bigger and inject more steroids, then fat people will be impressed and will finally respect you.

Did you tell him to wipe off that grin?  'Cause you know where he's been?  And it's all been a pack of lies?

I don't have to worry about this because I'm so huge and ripped people are scared shitless of me in the gym.  However, for regular bodybuilders like yourselves when this happens I think a

"Mind your fucking business"

is appropriate.

i could have cared less..said alright then and moved on. no point in worrying about it. some guys are just like that. he may have been just trying to start up a conversation with you.

LOL i dont get some people.I barely even notice whos around and just get on with my thing, unless a hot chick happens to be in that is , but id never tell someone what theyre doin is wrong, regardless of if theyre huge or tiny.I see plenty of skinny guys swinging barbell curls like mad, but its not really my place to say anythin.
Maybe as 20inchcalves said, he was just lookin to make convo

- he's on the right drugs to support his goals

Just my two cents.

FIXED SKANK.

 Yup exactly, there are a million twinks I see in the gym doing some flat out dangerous shit, but hey if they want to end up in the hospital thats their prerogative!  If they ask me for advice, thats a different story, I would be happy to help out as much as I can, but if they don't ask then its not my business!

Here is where you went wrong. You should have turned in his direction very slowly. looked him in the eyes and have said: "NEVER speak to me again.."
