How do you deal with people in the gym without getting arrested? Twice this week I've had guys walk sideways between my bar and the next rack while I was dead lifting and squatting. Even a tap on the bar while you're squatting or pulling is going to do a number on your back and who knows what else. Back in the day I'm sure these guys would get a beat down, but things are different today and even though I'm the one who could've gotten hurt, I would be made to be the bad guy if things go too far in confronting them. So what would you do? And really, the gym attendants are non confrontational if they really give a shit anyway.
