First of all, i would advise to not consider them AMOG.

It is possible that since they see you everytime working out on the same hours etc, fucking with you like that is a tentative to assess you and what you are made of. Possibly to kind of see if you would be a nice addition to the group. Often men just fuck around, taunt etc.. it is to assess and estimate value based on your response.

I always go at an odd hour (past midnight) and so do they so its pretty much just me and them.

You're working out, and it's okay if you want to be alone, do your reps, and go home.

However, if it's midnight, and there's hardly anyone else there except this group of guys, it would be somewhat odd not to at least acknowledge them, and their teasing you is likely to get your attention to chat a bit, perhaps become part of their group.

When there's a limited number of people, your anonymity is reduced, and you stick out more. Think of a bar with only 5 people, and they're huddled drinking together, and chatting up the bartender. You come in, and sit as far away as possible from them. Maybe one guy calls out, "Bruins suck!" because he saw your t-shirt. He's trying to initiate, and lure you into a conversation. In this case, it would be strange not to join them.

Isolation is dangerous, and, while it's important to maintain your individuality, being social is vital for your survival. When opportunities come up to interact with people, you shouldn't avoid them. This is not to say that you should interact with every person you run into, however, you should strive for balance, and be careful not to fall into the circumstances of becoming socially inept, and becoming a loner.

Just focus on your lifts. Prove to yourself you won't let this dumb shit be an excuse for you not to.

AMOG matters when you're gaming, or in your social circle.

If they’re actually getting in the way of your workout, tell them to move away. If not then ignore them

Nothing to gain with dealing with this. If I were you, I'd just do what they do at the moments they mock your lifts.. If they mock it, do what they do. " aaaah that's a great idea" - then tell them you don't see the benefit and continue doing what you did. No fun for them

Woah dog you’re doing too much! First of all, why aren’t you amog? They could all not know got to fight or have an irrational fear towards being alpha you have no idea. Stop placing people on pedestals and stop placing yourself beneath them. You have worth. That’s your space but it’s also public space. If you’re in your own zone just close your eyes and do your thing. If they’re right up on you that’s one thing. If they’re following you around the gym like children then let them. If they attack you that’s one thing, defend yourself and get out of there. Otherwise tho dude this sounds like it could all be in your head lol.

They’re not amog, idk if they’re trying to fuck with you but it’s doubtful, they might be open to friends but who cares do you want to be their friend then be their friend if not then don’t.
