You absolutely should. That's fucking dangerous.

as with any social interaction, you test the waters.
if the kid's a cunt, fuck him. let him drop a bar right on himself or snap his shit up, he if's responsive to advice in a positive way, tell him what he is doing is dangerous and he must go slow with increasing the weight to see true results.

Honestly I don't say anything to people. When I see stupid shit, I wait til I catch their eye like they're trying to impress me, then I look away while shaking my head and roll my eyes.
My goal is to shame people into working out better because people get offended too easy and I don't have time to deal with that shit.

>feels the need to mention his supposed height and weight
Go elsewhere you insecure faggot

Depends on how /fit/ you are
Some fat fuckwad who only does oly lifts and literally jumps off the ground during his 65 lb squats started waving his arms around one day to get my attention when I was squatting and told me to "try to keep the weight between the webbing of your 2nd and 3rd toe" and I just shook my head and put my headphones back in (squat form is fine btw). Just don't be autistic about it.

You sound like a douche mate

Don't say anything. You're helping no one, they won't take your advice no matter who you are. They are there to train themselves and they'll figure it out.

This

Reverse perspective: I'm doing bent over rows with bad form.
Just after the first warmup set, guy next to me asks if he can record me because my form is wrong. I say sure, he gives some good points and later points out errors in my overhead press form as well.
Overall good stuff. He only helped because I encouraged him and told him I value his input.

If you approach someone and they're hesitant and just seem like they're waiting for you to shut up and go, then you just shut up and leave them to it. Also they might just be shy, but oh well.

>>42177626
start of with a "be careful you dont hurt yourself" and if he pays attention continue on if he makes a face then let him get hurt

>>42177626
If you approach him and correct him chances are he's gonna stop going to the gym all together

>>42177626
I dunno. If you want you can try to give advice. You won't get anything from it though. So may as well not bother. That's what I decided

come from behind, gently bump into his rear and ask if you can spot him, then give pointers

>>42177626
If it's bad form on an exercise they can really hurt themselves doing (squats, deadlifts, etc.) tell them how to do proper form. If they're just doing cheat curls or something then just let them be.
