Observations in the gym

I’d like to add:
Judging other people in the gym without knowing their full story is unproductive. Focus on your shit.
There is nothing wrong with getting strong.
Sometimes ego is a good thing. I can’t tell you how often my ego pushed me to do more and better. I play the ego game. Sometimes I secretly compete with others at the gym - keeps me motivated.
Put your fucking weight back.
The gym is a positive place. Encourage others.
Ask questions, talk to others at the gym, and find out why they are doing what they are doing. There is always more to learn.

- The Gym is not the background for your social media post.
Gym manners flow from two things: Focusing on your own goals and form and consideration for others. So like @JLee said, headphones on, head down, re-rack your weights, don’t gratuitously occupy a bunch of different stations/weights simultaneously when others are waiting to use them. One of my gyms in NYC has a number of IFBB pros who train themselves and others there. They don’t tolerate any inconsideration, and you don’t want to piss them off. I love it.
