Kind of a funny situation at the gym today. It all started with a post by one of my friends on Facebook. She posted about how she was picking up a food order and the employee told her that it was pretty heavy and asked if she was sure that she could lift it. She went on to say how that really bugs her when people just assume that she isn't strong enough. Anyway, fast forward a few hours to me at the gym.
I had literally just sat down on my bench with some dumbbells. As I looked at the mirror to check my form I see a woman laying on the bench behind me on a smith machine with the bar laying across her chest. Now mind you it was only the bar, no weights. That equals 20 lbs. That Facebook post was the first thing to enter my head. I kind of looked at her and she made eye contact with me. Then I looked again and decided that she must be resting because after all we're taking 20 lbs here. Then just as I'm finishing my set I hear her ask a guy walking by for help and said she was stuck.
I kinda felt like an ass because I didn't help her but I'm gonna blame Facebook.
