I have never seen anyone do or say anything to anyone at the gym unless they were answering a question, everyone is too busy doing their own thing. Just one more huge reason I don't buy the bs. I've  gone to gyms for years and if anything the swole bros and liftin ladies will go out of their way to help anyone become worthy of the House of Brodin. But, and it's  a huge one, we can smell shit from a mile away. You wanna know how to lift, let's chat, you wanna make excuses , the Smith machine is over in the corner have fun.
