There's time to talk and there's a time to shut the F$%k up and lift. When I'm on my last set of bench and some asshole is flapping his gums while I'm trying to concentrate then it is a distraction. Not the Olympia, not the Arnold, not even the local f@#king show. I just want to lift in peace. The weight room is not a social club, do that shit in the cardio room.
If someone has a question on how to do something I am more than glad to show them. I am not there to hear about someone's kid. I just don't give a shit. You want help learning about the best way to curl, I'll show you.
AND, there is a time to polightly explain to the man that you do not really like to talk a lot while you are working out, and that your time here is limited. You can also say, but thank you anyway, and go back to your set. MOST people get the polight hint. If the guy insists on talking, just say again, please, I need to concentrate, and you are not allowing me to do so .
You do not nneed to be an asshole in the gym, and you do not need to belittle someone to get your desired effect.
The funny thing about this world is that it is VERY small, and that loser could wind up being your boss one day, and then fire your abusive ass.
