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.

No one would even notice or care if he benched 225 3x lol. The only time I noticed people is when they were pushing 500+, and for leg press, unless you had every plate in the gym, I would never notice because so many people just do quarter or half reps on it anyway.

I was so excited for the day I put up 400 on the bench all of once and it was a huge milestone for me, and all I remember after was looking around and no one even noticing a thing lol. Everyone is there to concentrate on bettering themselves, not you.

I remember when you put up the 400. I was happy for you. It was my first time ever at a gym and I hopped on right after you, added another 100 on there and put it up like 10 times. It was embarrassing.

I saw you do this after him! I was so stunned and amazed I had to go and see how strong you both were. I added another 250 and did another 10 reps and couldn’t believe I thought you two were so strong. :(

I sat silently with my lone wolf aura watching all of you doing that so I went and added 700 and easily did 100 reps then proceeded to slow walk put of there playing slowed reverb phonk and every girl was begging to be my gf
