ok dudes, i was at the gym again today, hammer pressing, and it's usually quiet on sunday. i was waiting for this bigger dude to finish his hammer presses. he started taking the plates off, so i said, "can you leave them on dude, i wanna try pressing the three plates. he moved over to the next station, but i could feel he was "staring me down", almost like he was gonna size me up to start something. so, i proceeded to bang out my 8 reps with the three plates. ( i only did 2 sets, but he was clearly pissed that i could be as strong as he is.) so, he put on his 3 plates on his station, and started making these loud grunting noises with each rep, like the weights were heavy and he was working them really hard! is it just me dudes, or do us smaller dudes tend to "piss off" the bigger dudes who don't think we are as strong as they are, or who get intimidated when they see we can lift or press just as much or more than they can? does this happen to anybody else at your gym? it's weird, some dudes get pissed, others have said to me, "wanna put more weight on there dude? , that was too easy for you!" is this an ego thing or what? why do some "big dudes" hate us little , yet "strong" dudes?
