3. The towel on his back underneath the pussy pad is also embarassing, and unnecessary.
4. That weird looking, flimsy, tapered belt is a piece of crap.

Ugh.

Seems to me what the fairly obvious path for you should be. You can squat like 180kg+ right? You really need to publicly reply with a pic of your own and a comment of "wow dude you really inspired me to get in the gym and have a go at some squats - btw what's the pad and towel for?"

Unless the comments he was getting were girls saying how much they want to suck his dick, I don't see why it's that bothersome. People actually doing physical activity should be complimented (within reason), even if it's ridiculous. Unless they are douches. Then it's ok to point out how pussy they are.

I strongly disagree with this. IMO, I don't think people should be complimented on something they SHOULD be doing anyway, even if everyone else is fat and lazy. I don't compare people to other people, I compare them to what they should be.

positive reinforcement is good for people.

Like the chick last who told me last night to that I wasn't reracking the dumbells in the correct spot. I'm going to volunteer my thanks everytime she puts something back in its place, or correct her when she doesn't.

The other day some guy complimented my chin-ups and mentioned how he couldn't do one yet, that he would jump into one and then go up and down at the top, but it hadn't been helping. I told him he should do long slow negatives instead and repeat it throughout the day GTG style; this week he came up to me and thanked me for the advice, saying it was the most progress he'd made in a long time. It was nice having the brief feeling of being someone who knew what the **** he was talking about.

No, no man should, that's like the peak potential of manliness. But "working out" and not being a slob IS something every man should be doing.

Saw a guy walk on his hands for about 8 feet today in the middle of the weight room. I tried to hate on it, but it was damn impressive. His mirror shadow boxing bouts were less impressive, though, and I had no difficulty looking down on him for that.

I seen a hot asian girl doing yoga poses in the stretching area. She was doing super difficult gumby stuff. Is was mad sexy. Then I seen her do this yoga head-stand pose where her feet are straight up in the air. She held that position for a solid 10 minutes. It was unbelievable.

I saw a guy wear a belt to DL 135 lbs in between sets of ab-rolling on some kind of skateboard.

A chick was putting her feet in the handles of a cable station and doing some kinda one-leg kung fu balancing act.

Who wears a camelback at the gym? Now he is doing standing curls with it on. Wait he took it off to do sitting curls. Now he just put it back on to do standing hammer curls. No time for hydration breaks bro?

Variance: he was curling a lot more than I could

It's National Day Golden Week holiday in China atm. Almost everyone has the entire week off and most things are closed.

I sent a text message to a girl working in the gym to ask if the gym was open. She said "sure! tomorrow!" so I go there and turns out it was actually closed but she had a key and opened it just for me and hung around until I was done with my leg workout. Squatting. All alone. In ghost gym.
