So I was at the gym today and I saw some younger kid doing deadlifts off the power rack in our gym. On the power rack the lowest you can go has the bar about 16 inches off the ground. I jokingly said, "Ah, c'mon man you're cheating." I just wanted to tease him a little to maybe get him to ask for some help, and the little bastard got pissed off.
I was just trying to be helpful because he obviously had no idea what he was doing. I just remember when I was new to weight lifting and I was too stubborn to ask for help. Looking back I wish people would have just spoke up and stopped me from doing certain things. Do any of you offer advice to people in the gym without them asking? Was I just being as rude as he seemed to think I was?
