Strong as hell black dude. Warms up on the bench at 315 likes its nothing. Weve talked probably 10 times and have never had an issue. Hes helped me with some of my lifts from time to time. He does leave every weight on the bar when hes done, and fucking slams and bangs everything, but whatever. anyways I came in today to hit legs. Amongst other things my back has been giving me tons of shit lately. I havent been squatting much at all all year and honestly who even knows if I could do 315 anymore. But I got on the rack and started warming up at 170. Mind yall Im on one of 4 racks, and two others are open while this is about to happen. He comes up to me and asks how many sets I had left. I said sorry man Im just starting to warm up so Ill be a while. Dude blows a fucking gasket and starts yelling to the whole gym about how apparently offensive this was as people here just squat weight he can do off the groundand that my ass would have been beaten if I pulled that at my old gym. He gets so heated that he says he has to go outside to calm himself. Did not work because he came back in, picks up a bar with 135 on it that was on the ground and just tosses it onto the deadlift platform, thankfully not taking out the wall. He continued to rant and be pissed about this the entire time. i just kinda did my sets and went about my workout. My job has me dealing with crazy people all the time so Im used to tantrums on an almost daily basis, but it was just absurd. Any of the other racks would have been fine, and even if they werent he just would have had to wait ten freaking minutes to do his stupid ass shrugs. management loves me there because Im a likable dude and am the exact opposite of everything that he does so I just texted them after the workout about what happened and told them to see it all on camera. --- Sess Of the superuser "merSHINEsess" <cite>iiaattgg posted [p:947451959] in Fitness, W...
