    Report the racist behavior to gym staff. He can claim you just happen to have the same routine if you accuse him of that but the racist *kitten* is undeniable if you have a witness (which it sounds like you could get pretty easily).

    Alternatively you can wait for him to throw out his back or get arrested in a roid rage incident.

    tomorrow is my deadlift day, maybe he will break his back trying to out lift me again lols. i saw him deadlifting with a rounded lower back next to me the past 2 mondays and his movement mechanics aren't great at all, so it is possible for it to happen

    Oh, well then you can go up to him and give him unsolicited lifting advice. See how that goes.

    careful with recording as some gyms do not allow it and it might get you kicked out yourself. Wait until he about to do a squat and go over there and PUNT his balls and then run like hell. :p:D;)

    Another thing...if you are going to speak to management (again) about this swine, do it in writing too.

    so last night i went to gym and i spoke to the gym manager who covers the night shift in her office. i told her i have been harrassed by this one guy during the day time and the day time manager never does anything about it after i complained a few times. so she told me she's going to look into this from the security camera saved recordings and will take appropriate actions and get back to me by friday with a phone call.

    Cool.
    It will be great to see this clown run out of the gym with a permanent ban.

    Did he end up hurting himself during the deadlifts?
