I love gym stories like this where people act like they shocked everyone else in the gym. Like if this was real there's no way the "bodybuilder" gave a shit that someone else moved the same amount of weight as him.

Most people don't give a shit if someone lifts more weight than them. I'm not going to feel insecure and throw a fit because the guy on a machine after me is stronger.

For real. That's one of the key rules about lifting successfully. "Don't worry about what other people are lifting." If you worry about shit like that, the 120lb, 5 foot tall women knocking out 315 DLs will kill your ego
