So never do that stuff is all I can say.
I lift weights every other day at our HOA gym, I do some warm-ups, then standing military press two barbells (total weight); 90, 100, 80, 100, 90, 100 x 5 reps. Then I do 3 sets of 120, usually 2/3/2 reps. I also use the Nautilus machines, the bench machine goes up to 200, I do that for a few reps and sets, and some of the other machines. I've lost 60 pounds the past 5-6 months.
I've got a bad back and was on the floor stretching, this guy kept stepping over me and being rude, brushing on me. I asked him to stop and he got all mouthy and in my face. He was much younger, a bit shorter, but a lot wider. He was telling me I was old and laughing at me lifting, I said if he didn't knock it off, he was going to find out how old I was. So I was stretching again, he walked past and kicked me, called me a pussy and said he was going to kick my ass. So I jumped up and kicked him in the ass (my toe was bruised for a week), then I threw him out the door and said, "I'm 57 years old!"
He started crying and said he was going to call security, I said great, call the sheriff while you're at it. I spoke to security, they looked at the camera footage and saw he was targeting me, he was only walking over by me when I was on the floor stretching, at other times he was going around the mat area to the other side of the gym. They may have banned him, I don't know, haven't seen him since. Someone said he plays pro hockey, a defender; he must be a second stringer.
