 Next question is from chap monk seven what can I do to build confidence in the gym and not be intimidated by people lifting heavy weights? Okay, so I'm going to let people in on a little secret here and it's a secret only to people who have not worked in gyms or worked out in gyms consistently for a little while. Now there's definitely those assholes that are in the weight room that hog the weights and that are totally have bad manners on stuff. But here's the truth. It is a tiny actually rare minority. Believe it or not, the people in the gym. And I remember learning this as a kid, the people in the gym that are that will lend you a hand that will give you the most respect when you're trying, especially when you're new. That'll give you the most respect when you first start working out are the dudes in the gym, squatting five plates, deadlifting all the way to whatever they typically are. They look intimidating. They do. Yeah, they look intimidating. But you get so much respect. You remember going to a world gym as a kid, skinny kid, not know whatever. And I went in there to work out and I felt a little bit of intimidation. I was excited to don't get me wrong. I loved it, right? But I remember going in there being like, Oh my God. And I remember dudes coming up to me guys that were just bees and they go, Hey, good job, kid. Hey, let me show you how to do this. And then I got like, Oh, let me ask this guy for all. Hey, can I jump in? Jim etiquette is there's like this moral code in the gym. And the people that know what the most are the ones that are the most consistent. So I'm saying that because we have this image on our head of the big, you know, veiny guy working out with his headphones, and he's not looking anybody and he looks mean. He's super intense and focused on his workout. But I guarantee you he's going to be one of the more respectful people of you when they're only agree. But also it's a culture thing. So if you're at a gym where there's guys that are just there to get attention from girls like a zoo culture type of thing, is that what you're looting to? Just naming it completely? Yes. Let's go ahead throw some shade there. That's a different situation. But find yourself a gym where people are serious about what they're doing. And the big guys are the ones that look like it's super intimidating. Like you said, are some of the most nice people that you're going to find that will really they're just there to help you out to to give you whatever knowledge that they have. They actually love it when you ask some questions. So I would go in there with a humble attitude, not like you're taking over and like you got everything together. Just go in there humble attitude, ask questions and I guarantee they're going to go out of their way to help you. Strength gyms. It's you go to strength gyms or you see like strongman power lifters. That's the famous gyms. You'll see you'll run into a lot of those kind of people. On the other side of fear resides success, right? So, you know, face your fear. I mean, if you're if you're intimidating, you're scared to one of the best things you do is to face it and get out there and do it. Not to mention if there was ever a time that I stopped to help somebody out. It was the person that I saw that was looked intimidated and looked scared and looked nervous. And they were trying to get her squattered there or they're referring to their maps program and they're trying to figure it out and watch a video. Like I see somebody doing that. If there ever is a time that I go over and interrupt their workout to give them some tips, it's that person. I get it's not like the cocky kid who's doing something and thinks he knows what he's doing. Even if he's got bad form, I ain't wasting my time. I don't have it. I don't I don't want to go into an ego wall. That's right. I don't even want. But if I'm moving on, but if you're some some old lady who's trying to learn how to deadlift or somebody who just they you can see this person too. By the way, so if you think you're this person, I can tell who you are when you're in the gym working out. And so can those crazy lifters that Sal's talking about that look really intimidating. And normally when you see someone like that, those are the people that you walk over friendly to. I've seen numerous times douchebags and the douchebags are always this, by the way, it's some high school kid or college kid that just started working out to make a lot of noise intentionally. He's working out with his friends and they're being douchey. Those are the guys that I could see that do this. I've seen them get checked at least a dozen times by the actual big strong lifters in the gym. I've seen it happen many times. I remember one time this woman like pig of your weights. Yeah. Yes. I saw this woman one time waiting for a piece of equipment and there was these three dudes that were just in between sets, bullshit and whatever. And this jack guy who was squatting in the corner with his headphones takes his headphones off, walks over to the guys and said, you guys are done here. And I remember they're like, we are done. Sorry, sir. And just to let her work out. This is the culture in these gyms. The people in the gyms, and also most people also don't notice. Those are the people that notice because they've been there for a while and other people are just focused on themselves. So nobody's like staring at you and watching you like you think. But I'll tell you what, the two people they get the most respect, there's a few people, tons of respect in the weight room. It's the old people lifting weights, tons of respect. They're like, they're like gods in there. It's the really strong athletes that have great technique. They get tons and tons of respect. Anybody that has really good form stands out. Yes. And then it's the beginner. Beginner walks into the weight room. I swear to God, you see all the veterans and everybody knows what they're doing. And you can tell they're all like, okay, if they do notice because oftentimes they're in their own zone, they're like, all right, good job. And they want to encourage you, you know. Yeah. Justin brings up a good point though. I do, I agree with you. Like, and I know I was just, I was throwing a jab or throwing shade on Zuculture. I'm sure there's actually a lot of like really, really great people that work out there. But if you do go to a place that's full of a bunch of teenage boys that are just learning how to lift themselves. It's a meat mark. Yeah. It's, you're more likely to run into a situation like that. And this is where it also, it's worth spending a little money on a gym that you, that you're not going to run into this. Like, you know, spin it. You're not going to see this at like a, a, a racket club, you know, like one of, like one of those spa type of gyms, like a club sport or whatever it that you're not going to run into. Equinox or something. Yeah. You're not going to run into that type of stuff at a place like that. Usually it's the bargain gyms that you might run into. That's right. Yeah. You're going to run into, you know, 24 hour fitness or these cheaper membership gyms. Also the time that you go, you'll see a difference. If you go early in the morning, early in the morning is the best time to go. The best time, early in the morning, you're going to run into some of the best five o'clock. Yeah. It's the best culture. I would say that's in the gym. That's how I ran my gyms. But here's the other part, right? The more you practice something, the less scary it becomes. And then there's this, this is very important. Stop giving too many fucks about what other people think. Thank you. Yeah. Just, you're there for you. You're not there for anybody else. Go in there, do your thing. And don't be so self-conscious. I know it sounds easier. It's easier said than done. But just literally tell yourself, I'm here for me. I don't give a shit about anybody else. I'm here for me. And if I don't know something, I'm going to ask somebody so that I can learn because this is for me. It's very important to have that attitude when you're working out because it's going to carry you through your whole career of training your body. If you work out and you constantly care about what other people think, it's going to push you and drive you in the wrong direction. At some point, you're going to have to get over that, especially if you plan on doing this for years and years and years, you'll have to get to the point where you just don't care. I don't give a shit what anybody else thinks. Especially look, even if you're a veteran, you know how many times I've worked out and I think, oh man, I got to go real light. Well, I should probably add more weight. You know, at some point, I don't give a fuck this for me. So if I'm working out with 135, I don't care. And back to like the last question, focus on form and technique. Yeah. Nothing is more impressive than beautiful form. I'm not, there's a lot of people that are naturally strong. There's a lot of people that can come out and squat and deadlift just naturally, because they were, they genetically have got that, but it takes years of practice to have meticulous form. Focus on that. Get really, really good at form and technique.
