Did I do the right thing?

No towel or bottle but I left for just a few seconds and we both approached the machine at the same time.
yes, nothing wrong there.

> after doing deadlifts while holding a weight.
as opposed to bodyweight deadlifts?

This, isn't a "right" or "wrong" issue. Because you did right, by standing your ground and speaking up. You did wrong, by not leaving a sign you're clearly not done with the machine. Its lucky that it wasn't escalated to something more than the issue is worth.

Wow, anon. Just stop now. Re-read what was said. Then learn what context means.
>using the back extension equipment
>>38147720
Why didn't you let him use it? He was an old man bro, you are supposed to help old people. Next time you see him explain to him that you didn't want to be rude and apologize.

I don't have a bottle to use but I would have stood my ground no matter what.
>>38147875
He struck me as being very rude with "Well, you can use it after me" with his smug grin, coupled with his British accent.
I would have told him that we could take turns but he was rude.

You are completely in the right OP, anyone who complains is not gonna make it.
>>38147720
How can a senile old man sneak in within the few seconds it took for you to change the weight?
