Hello guys!

A couple days back I wrote about a confrontation that happened between me and my local gym douche. Basically, we ended up fighting over some bullshit at the squat rack.

I came here and asked you guys what I should do. The majority of you encouraged me to involve the staff or the police and not to take this shit. My mentality at the time was that I either had to fight or take it. But little did I know, fighting did not necessarily mean physical contact.

So 3 days pass by after the incident and I don't see the guy at the gym. It's a big gym so I guess we went at different times or he didn't show up. Here comes the 4th day and i'm walking to my gym at 7pm and I see the dudes car in the parking lot. With the same boxing glove thing you put over the mirror in your car.

I thought nothing of it cause I was already having a bad day. I was just hoping I wouldnt interact with this motherfucker. 20 mins in and no sign of him. My program is the 5x5 so I need the squat rack. No joke, i'm doing my squats and this motherfucker comes again. He waits for me to finish my set and laughs and says "just like last time."

I had my headphones on but could hear, but just ignored him and looked him in the eyes. He tries going for the bar and I firmly say "I have 3 sets left." He says he will share with me but I know that means he has to constantly take off the weights off and won't put them back or even attempt to help after. I tell him to wait until I finished. Just ignores me. I go over to front desk and this cool Asian trainer that I talked to came and told the guy to wait until I was done.

He says "wow man, i'm just trying to get a couple of sets in and you wanna be a bitch by calling the front desk guy." I didn't say anything and told the trainer thanks. I put on my headphones and continued to do my sets. He said some shit but I couldn't hear it clearly. I finish my sets, and afterwards go to the small gym to run a game of basketball.

Dude's inside and he has a team. I have my own team but I have to wait for a run. His team plays 2 games before ours until we go on. Right away when you do the matchups, he goes like "I got blue shirt", which was me. I knew that was stupid considering he's like 5'7/5'8 and i'm 6'2 and his cardio looked pretty shitty.

I don't know if you all watch basketball but he basically went in the post on offense and tried to body me. He was throwing elbows and using arms to push off which is all a foul. I didnt care. Since I am really skinny, I always worked on my shot and didnt drive in the lane much. I kept shooting shots over the guy because he had a small reach and it was going in.

This is when it gets pathetic. He says "why are you being scared, go inside and drive, why are you only shooting." That's when other people in the gym were like "Shutttt uppp" and "you're getting shut down man" but they were saying it in a joking way. He made one basket on me and said "that's right bitch" and I won't lie, I wanted to cuss him off and snap at that point. I went to the other side, called for the ball and shot a long one over the dude and it went in off the backboard. Feeling really good, I put my index finger over my mouth and told him to "shhh" and the other guys were like "oooohh".

Anyways we lost the game but that bitch was embarrassed. He asked to play me 1on1 and I just left without saying anything. This is when it gets good. In the locker room, all of us who were playing ball were changing to leave. The guy is there too and he says some bullshit about me making lucky shots. I told him "5 shots in a row isn't lucky but missing more than 4 in a row is definitely unlucky." The other guys are laughing and we're just joking.

This guy gets butthurt and mentions what happened before. How I walked by that day in the parking lot and didn't do anything. So he's obviously trying to emasculate me. And some other guy asks the douche "why were you in the parking lot for that long though." And I interrupted and said "times are tough, it's either a gym pass or a home for him." He just kisses his teeth and says "whatever man."

Same shit. Same fucking shit. Parking lot and he's not on the hood of his car this time, he's near the entrance and he says "You think you're funny." I really did feel good so I was being a smartass that day, even more than usual. I told him "thanks for noticing." He then for no reason starts talking in ghetto hood talk? (I really don't know how else to explain it)

He says "don't act up" and I said "or what?". He says "don't worry fam" and I was mad and said "Bro, if you ever touch me or even threaten to touch me, i'll call the cops on your ass, i'm not dealing with this shit anymore."

He calls me a "snitch nigga" and I got mad and said "at least i'm not a bitch who gets mad when he gets shut down on the court."

He says "who you calling a bitch" and walks closer in a confrontational way. Looks up at my eyes and tells me to repeat myself. I just looked him dead in the eyes and then turned around to walk away. He says "hold up!" and this is when I could of handled it better. I turn around say "What!?, what are you gonna do, you're not gonna touch me, you know what will happen"

Another guy came out the gym and saw us and told me to chill and walk away. So that's that..at least for today. But I doubt this angry piece of shit will try anything again. In hindsight, I would of kept it cooler at the end but whatever, it has already happened. Also, i'm still gonna take up the idea of boxing as many of you suggested.

So yup, there's my updates bros. Thanks for the advice.
