It wasn't about slamming weights, it was about showing dominance over you to his gf. Find a better gym.

Go back tomorrow and slam the weights harder. Ignore the high school crowd.

Just go at a different time man...there will be a new group of people. Don't let it change your progress

i saw him bench pressing with a 45 and a 25 lb weigh on each side, im not gonna start a fight...

Not to sound cliche as fuck but when a door closes a new one opens

Were you really slamming the weights down? Because that will damage them.

strength isnt as important as you think in that regard. just bash him with your autist skull.

Trust me, he really didn't mean anything by it.

A good thing about life is that nobody actually cares about you enough to pull you out of a crowd and shame you, he just was legitimately concerned about the gym equipment. This actually gives you a good opportunity to talk because you have established a talking point.

Maybe approach them next time you go and say "hey sorry about slamming the weights down the last time I was here, I didn't know they could be seriously damaged from that", maybe some time you could give me tips or something? I'm here a lot anyway, just started working out this year!"

He will probably be more than happy to help. Just don't be awkward, be chill. I know it's been 5 days but it won't be awkward even if he doesn't remember you. It can only be awkward if you spin it that way.

Nobody in that gym is strong enough to fuck up solid steel. He's exercising his douchery. He only wins if you let him.

This.

He is starting it, not you. Just ask him if he works there, and go back to your workout. If an employee actually talks to you, say "he's making me uncomfortable" and he will be given a warning. On the off chance he does work there, politely ask for his boss' name.

Fuck him, in the ass

Hang on...

Someone asks you to stop slamming weights down, and you react like this?

Have you tried *not* being an SJW snowflake?

>>723108625
First, you shouldn't slam the weights, you want to build up more muscle control by controlling it and not just letting it go. Second, if you're slamming the weights, it's gonna annoy other people around you. Third, just be a man and straight up ask him for advice on better/proper techniques.

>>723108625
Technically he was helping you in the long run. If you control the weight on the way down you're performing negatives and maintaining good form. Stop giving a shit what other people think of you though and just do your own thing. And I don't know if you know this but most people don't give a fuck about other people and just kind of do what they're going to do. You don't register the actions and think about every single person you pass by. Also slamming the weights will cause them to crack or can snap the cable line.
