what to do?

TweetI was doing legs this morning at the gym and in walks this dude who must be around 350 or so and none of it was muscle. my first thought was kudos to this guy for hitting the gym and working on this. he started up in the cardio area and then mosey'd down to the free weight area. he was doing some db presses for chest and pumping at a furious pace and getting about a 2" range of motion. i was torn as to wether to say something about form so he would get more out of the workout or just saying nothing and hoping he doesn't get discouraged when his body doesn't start showing the changes he's looking for and just stop working out. but i didn't want him to think i was some "know-it-all" who has to help out the fat dude ya know? sucks that there is that conundrum.

TweetNext time you see him, ask to work in with him and then strike up a conversation and after his set, tell him "hey you know you'll get a better stretch if you took the weight down slowly...etc"

TweetI don't ever say anything (unless asked). If they keep coming they will learn.

TweetChances are you'll never see this guy again anyway. I'd just use it as a good laugh. If he does keep coming back then maybe try and suggest a few pointers.

Tweetyeah i keep it to myself also. especially when the gym rat you are observing is your brother.. ha ha. family is the hardest to tell something like that to. because they don't want to listen and think you are just saying something bc you are jealous of them

Tweeti never used to say anything.
now it's literally my job to make sure i help people like that.
if you are doing it for the right reason -- to help the guy, then say something...
if it is simply to let him know he's an idiot-- then keep it to yourself.
just be genuine in your reasons and you can feel good regardless of the outcome.
