Pain in the glute *vent*

HereWeGoAgain7

So today I decided to do a lower intensity workout and more stretching/foam rolling. Why? Because I have very sore glute area. :grumble: So there I am doing my lower intensity (by lowering the weights I would normally use) and people at the gym start commenting on it. My secondary trainer comes over and just hands me a higher weight. When I tell him that I'm listening to my body and going low intensity to rest my sore glute, people started laughing. Turns out that the work we were doing today wasn't really affecting my glutes, so I ended up doing a higher weight. After the class ended, I asked someone why they were laughing. Apparently they had a group discussion last week on the one day I missed about how watching me get bragged up was hurting some of their feelings :explode: I told them that I do two a days, work with one of the trainers one-on-one for atleast five hours a week, attend the classes five days a week, and show up atleast an hour before class to work on a skill (I do CrossFit so form is everything). Suddenly the progress and the sore glute made more sense.

Is it wrong of me to still feel kinda betrayed that they talked behind my back? Most of these people are new to the classes, I'm the only one who has been going for more than a month.

They're jealous. They should develop a thicker skin because seeing someone doing well should motivate them to do better.

Keep up the hard work!

Ugh. Highschool called, they want their drama back. :huh:
Congrats on your improvement, and well done on listening to your body!
I notice from time to time when I'm plugging away at a workout that I get dirty looks from a few people. Usually when I notice I smile and up the intensity. :laugh: :devil:

Absolutely listen to your body! You definitely did the right thing...I'm recovering from rhabdomyolysis after a crossfit session. I wish I had listened more closely to my warning signs.
