What If Someone At The Gym Keeps Trying You?
There's a group of people who are in the gym almost every time I'm in the gym, and they never really "SAY" anything directly to me, but they keep doing little sh*t to test my patience. The gym is one of the only good things I have going on in my life right now, so I dont want to snap on them and f*ck one of em up in/or around the gym. But damn, somethings gotta give.
Here's an couple examples:
1.) I was doing this seated exercise, with the cables. Like punches, working my chest and the front of my shoulders. There was about 12 inches of space infront of me, between where my fists were extending to, and the railing. These fools start walking right in front of me to pass by me, WHILE I'M DOING MY SET. They didnt say excuse me or anything, so I kept punching, figuring, if I hit one of em "F*ck em!".
2.) Then I was doing my cable pull ups to my chin for shoulders, when I see one of em walking by me, behind my back staring at me with a smirk on his face (while I'm lifting), so I paused, turned around and stared back at him and he turned his head away.
NOTE: I've never spoke to any of these dudes and they have no reason to act like b*tches, but they do anyway. I'm just trying real hard to keep my cool. Any suggestions?

I'm good friends with the manager.
So what i say, goes.

With a bandana and fascial hair.
Perhaps you are not performing the exercise correctly and they are laughing at you. Perhaps they are less informed that you are and are trying to learn from you by watching.
Chill out. Eat some food and grow.
Just look at the ground, the mirror or hot chicks. Who cares what the other dudes think.

Come on MMA kid "Future Light Heavyweight Champion of the UFC
Tang Soo Do Black Belt
Future Brazilian Jui Jitsu Black Belt"
I'm 215lbs and would rather fight a big guy than some 6' skinny guy who can wrap those long limbs around me. Bulking up doesn't make a person a better fighter - but it might help scare some punks off.

A plate to the head will solve the problem. When I'm at work guys will stare at me to test me and try to give me their angry face, lol. I'll just walk striaght up to them in front of their friends and just start talking, dragging on talking bs. It lets them know they dont intimidate me and its not aggressive towards them either. Seems to work for me and often you will end up on good terms with them. Or just try the plate to the head.

Those are called upright rows. I would make absolutely certain you aren't doing anything in the gym like excessive grunting or using hideous form and too much weight. That generally draws a sneer or occasionally even a smart remark. If you think you are in no way earning their scorn, then just calmly ask them what their problem is or just keep your head down, do you work and ignore them.
