That would be awesome, I'd guess most people's fear is of looking an idiot and not knowing what to do.

the only thing people really look down on in the gym is people being really rude in terms of gym etiquette. even then, even if you're doing curls in the squat rack, the worst thing that can happen is that someone will be like 'hey, you should be doing that with the equipment designed for it so people can do squats.' i don't really know where the expectation of hostility comes from because i've never, ever, in my life seen someone be a jerk to someone else because of their lifting habits. by being in the gym to begin with, you're already miles ahead of the average sedentary person.

also most people's actual exposure to gyms is school gyms in middle/high school, which are run by maladjusted psychopaths with something to prove and populated by horny sociopaths.

i guess i should've said i don't know where it comes from in a rhetorical sense because i assume someone who's an american leftist is going to do more in developing their views than building assumptions based purely on what they've been fed in movies.

God drat where are all the hardbodied wrestlers coming to help my fat rear end get not fat, I need to go start lifting in the big gym full of people or something instead of the empty community one because that sounds lit

No one under 18 is allowed in my gym or any other gym i've ever been to, so that kind of gets rid of the biggest morons already. You will have bros in a gym but they will probably not be interested in your fat rear end

As a guy who is both fat as poo poo and still fairly strong, I feel conflicted about approaching guys learning to lift still. Maybe when I start squatting 2x my bw rather than 1.5.

I'll only comment if I see someone doing something that looks like they'll injure themselves. Stuff like bicep curls where they're wrenching their entire back to get the weight up.

I work out at a university gym. Lotta dumb kids who don't wanna listen. The worst is when the trainers train the students wrong, which is super loving pissy. I miss my old workout buddy who was a trainer there, but he went on to get his phd in some kind of exercise physiology/rehab thing. This crop can't teach a squat.

Realtalk, a lot of gyms can be kind of gross to women. There's a reason a lot of gyms (at least here in Sweden) have female-only sections of the gym. A lot of dudes will eye-gently caress you all day if you're a woman
