Unsolicited Advice

I was doing lat pulldowns at the gym and a guy came over and had the nerve to walk behind me, GRAB my hands and REPOSITION them on the bar, then tell me that if I do it this way I will get a better workout. I was so shocked and incredulous all I could do was stare at him, unbelieving. I hope he scraped his hand on my engagement ring...

I'm shocked someone would do that. Talking to someone is one thing but touching a person w/out asking is another.

Unsolicited Advice is yucky, but he probably was just trying to make conversation.

I go to Planet Fitness and hardly anyone will even look at you let alone even think of saying hello, which is good and bad depending on what you prefer.

I miss my old gym that closed. People were friendly and yes sometimes I got some unsolicited advice. One time someone gave me a hard time that I was "sandbagging" my workout and encouraged me to grab heavier weights. I did and I liked it: ) He became a friendly face at the gym that would notice if I missed a few days.

I'm sure Mr BodyFat% meant no harm...

If someone grabbed me from behind, that would be the last thing he remembered when he wakes up again.

I talked with my trainer about it yesterday. She was a bit perplexed by the whole situation and asked how I felt about it. I told her I felt awkward, but let it go in one ear and out the other. She said that some people just like to hear themselves talk.

As I was doing cardio yesterday, I was sure to look extra focused
