Today I saw a guy walk into the gym and hit the bench press without even taking his jacket off, much less warming up. He pumped out a few horrible-looking reps at 135 and then proceeded to start adding weight. And of course the reps got worse -- he wasn't lowering the bar that much.
I shook my head, just thinking about how he was dramatically raising the chance he would injure himself by not warming up.
Then it got better. He started offering unsolicited advice to someone squatting nearby. Unless someone is doing something so wrong that he or she is about to get hurt, keep your mouth shut.
The guy who was receiving the advice sneaked a look at me and we laughed.
