I had another interesting gym bro interaction today, this time with my trainer. For context: I'm a middle aged fat woman in an N95 mask, he was a young man, my trainer is a young woman. I was deadlifting, and he was attempting to deadlift beside me. But he was lifting with his back and slamming the weights on the ground after every rep. I was lifting similar weight to him, but controlled, with proper form, putting the weights down gently. 1/?

We were debating asking him to stop slamming the weights, when he asked how heavy the bar I was using is (I used a trap bar, he used a straight bar). We told him same as his bar, 45lb, and asked him to stop slamming the weights: it's bad for the weights, it's bad for the floor, and it's really loud. I MAY have rubbed his nose in it when I said "I'm lifting similar weight, and I put it down gently, you can watch me". 2/?
