Gym should be a friendly place... where stranger knowing each other.. talking about nutrition , what's gd, what's bad... giving advice is really good.. maybe u can make partner at the gym someday because of your kindness.. those people who ignoring is just arrogant.. they think they know what they are doing.. once you advice them... they ignore it.. u better do your own job and concentrate at your workout... THEY IGNORE YOU, YOU IGNORE THEM..

I just met the most stubborn gym rat today.

I was chatting with the gym owner when this fella came in.
He picked up a magazine and saw those american bb'ers huge ripped abs.
So he asked how to get them.

Another fella join the conversation and said those fella inject substances so the their abs grow and become ripped. As if it's similar to injecting silicon into breasts. LOLz!

The gym lady recommended the abs-wheelie.
Then he became super defensive and said the abs wheelie is only effective the first time he did it.
And claimed that the wheel is only good for training the arms and shoulders... abs no feel at all. No matter what the lady said, he just plain refused to listen.

The gym owner then looked resigned and at me when a blank face. I so wanted to wallap that idiot for disrespecting the gym owner, and for talking smack... when he knows nuffin'.

Talk about giving advice. Even when the advice is sought, the person himself might still reject it. Some people's head are made of adamantium. Nothing penetrates.

I saw a guy playing PSP in the changing room inside the gym last week.

The janitor was looking at him while he gleefully play his PSP.

I went out did my 1 hour 30 mins workout, came back he still playing PSP.

Probably his exercising routine = playing PSP.

Don't know what to say anymore.

Lol, PSP gym workout.

You can only teach the teachable. If the person is dead on unteachable, regardless of your credentials, background and other attributes, you're only pouring water of a duck's back.

I generally keep to myself and friends. At most, I'll ask other patrons whether they are done with the machines. My reason is that it's Asian mentality to be hostile toward strangers even if a stranger offers advice.

How many times has a stranger offered small talk while you were waiting in a public place / in public transport?

Most people go to the gym to milk their ego. Horrible form with weights that are too heavy for them. My best advice for you is to treat them as entertainment and let them be. Unless they're about to hurt you.

PSP can workout your fingers & brain~..

at home his wife or son will kacau him play..so hide in gym play..nobody disturb.

I'm still fairly new at this whole weight lifting thing, but have been discouraged with helping ppl out when they brush off advise....especially in situations when it was bleeding obvious they were f***ing up. These days i just mind my own business, STFU, and train. I want that t-shirt la lolz!

ouww dont be like that... not everyone are arrogant

haha, i dont give a shit, mind my own business.

A good way to say it is

"I know it's none of my business, but it would be better if you could <insert advice here>"

"I used to <insert workout here> like that too, but when the weights got heavy I piled on some injuries that really affected my workout, then I learnt from other lifters that I was doing it wrongly"

"Just passing on some healthy comments, it's up to you to take it. After all, who am I to tell you what to do, it's not like I'm very strong. I just don't want to see a fellow lifter get injured!"

"Wah lau eh, my best friend used to squat exactly like you man! Gawd, the memories. So he was doing it like you, when one day he collapsed under the weight! He severed both quadriceps, destroyed both knees, his damn cun girlfriend is now mine, and he is a cripple in a wheelchair."
