i don’t need a spot… thanks tho!
is there a polite way to tell someone you DONT need their help in the gym ?? had this older guy come up to me + without asking for anything sort of confirmation just put his hands on me while i was doing back squats. i brushed it off the first time because my foot did wobble a bit and i figured he was just being polite. but then every single time i went to do my lifts (reverse lunges or back squats at least) he’d come over once i started and would try to assist me putting the weight back up. he said i shouldn’t be lifting in flat shoes too?? i just tried to smile politely and do my sets when i saw he was doing his and it stopped towards the end… but is there a polite way to say back off without it coming off so ~nasty~ ? usually idrc how i’m perceived and would tell him to go away but there’s more than a few people that go to my pf that are just not entirely right in the head and i don’t want to set the wrong person off if ya catch my drift
