Ethical Question

What do you do if you see someone in the gym using very dangerous form. Do you tell them, or lower the eyes, mind your business and wait for the scream?

[Bouncer]

Don't care about anyone else, I am there for me.

[BEAST]

Wait for the scream, point and laugh. :rofl:

Exactly.

You don't want to be "that guy".

I just chuckle to myself if it is something insane looking.

Unfortunate, but true. The ones that want help, will ask.

Lol. Overwhelming response. Ive only seen a few really bad instances. I said something once because the guys back looked like a fishing rod that had just hooked a 150lb Marlin while he was doing deadlifts - but this guy was clearly a beginner with no idea.

Kinda like this Never pull this way! - YouTube

On the weekend I watched a guy with legs that should be pressing 200lbs, load 500lbs onto the press, wrap his knees and then do sets of 3-4 presses that travel less than my shoulder shrugs. Each "bounce" he was hyper extending his knees and letting the full 500lbs bounce bone on bone. This time I did as everyone has suggested and just thought "what a tool".

Call them stupid under your breath as you walk past them

[redneck99]

cringe and focus on my exercise

[decadecadeca]

If they're just going to hurt themselves I will sit back and watch.

If they're doing something so stupid it could hurt others I will say something.

[Bouncer]

In both cases I sit and watch unless it's someone I care about or any animal.
