Does fit help others at the gym? The other day i saw a guy deadlifting with the worst possible form. Just hunched back, straight legs, hips super high. Then i also had a guy ask me to spot him incline bench he was trying to do 135 5x5 but could only do 2 reps ea check time by himself.
Does fit help these people or do you just ignore it and move on? I feel like itd be a douche thing to do specially if its not a qt in the gym.
You ignore people unless the specifically ask for help.

Hi Henry,
Being an autismo DYEL I'd appreciate the assistance but normies probably wouldn't. I'd be flattered if somebody asked me for help on something but such an event has never taken place
Hope this helps

Wow Cory I didnt think about it like that. But i think you not being a nameless face is what changes it. I can relate!
I work at a gym and had some guy storm out 3 days ago and never come back because someone gave him a workout tip.
Guy leaves yelling at me "I rarely have time to come workout and when I do I don't need someone telling me how to workout"
I asked the kid what he advice he gave him.
>kid told him you don't need clips on Smith machine

lol what a fag
I occasionally got decent help and encouragement from people with similar goals to me witch I REALLY appreciated, but it just takes one piece of bad advice to really fuck someone over
Was doing pretty well with strength gains last year, until one dude was insisting I tweak my deadlifting position which led to me really fucking up my lower back (and it was only a lighter warm up set)
only just started lifting again last month, at a new gym
no i don't feel like i look good enough for anyone to take what i say as gospel, and i don't want to run the risk of taking someone under my wing
I never help or offer anyone advice
If people want something they can ask me about it specifically but otherwise I won't say a word
I highly recommend this practice

i help them with deadlifts or if they're doing something dangerous and they really don't know what they're doing.
I'll walk up to a skinny DYEL, like 'hey man can I just show you a little mistake you're making on the deadlift, its cool its just a minor thing, I used to make the same mistake, basically you need to do (blah blah blah)' then i demonstrate, then i watch them do it and say 'perfect my man'
Its always skinny asian dudes, so they're too beta to be anything but grateful

I also ask stronger guys for advice on the finer points of my own form, so its all give and take.

this is good, but they still get intimidated, do this and add some sort of "flavor" into it so they get comfortable, like "Hey bro, seen you around here a bit, progress going good, but i would just like to make a tiny suggestion" Yes you might have to lie, but if you want to really encourage some pussy's, this is the right way
told a couple kids they should go lower with their squats (they were going 1/5 of the way down) they looked at me puzzled so i just walked off
