I would say that this person you're talking about is a true friend.your other buddies are probably saying "It's ok Gene,have another slice of pizza and some more cheesecake." seems like this other guy is trying to push you back into the gym,trying to help you get your strength back.sometimes someone who has been hurt and can't lift what he's use to can get depressed and half ass it in this gym.seems like this friend of yours is just showing a little tough love.
...you should thank him next time you see him.
