No unless they violate the NAP by throwing shit at me with the use of mean innuendos.
Since I wouldn't fight with anybody in the job unless they did this and I have at least a year in the job or I'm the best candidate for becoming the manager.

Honestly pretty glad he's my gym rival, we don't talk much but deep down we're bros.

i fucking hate that guy

Letting him win by wasting your energy on him bro
Kevin Gray
I'm pretty sure that's a technique for bench to get yourself through a plateau. I think it's called board presses.

It's called board press. What you did is like walking up to someone doing pause squats and going "why don't try this????" and squatting with no pause.
Jaxson Phillips
WTF am I even looking at here.
Asher Lewis
Never talk to him but we lift at similar times, pretty sure he knows we rivals too. I always beat him in deadlift/squats and he's got me on the bench, OHP, and pullups.
It's been 1.5 years of trying to catch up to him and trying to keep my leads. Almost got him on the pullups with this summers cut, but my deadlifts are stagnating at 3 pl8.

Fuck bros I miss my gym rival so much
Hunter Sullivan
no, but one time some faggot walked up while I was squatting to the rack right in front of me (there were 3 empty racks) and started squatting to beat my weight.
every time I went to the gym after that he would get insecure and think I was trying to outlift him when I was just doing my workout.
don't be that guy OP
Anthony Bailey
Yeah, the guy's strong as fuck and absolutely obsessed with fitness.
I'm gaining on him, though. I'll get that three plate squat for reps and 4.5plaet diddy even if it kills me.
