I think that good deeds deserve as much attention as anything else, and today one of your kin did a good deed for me.
I've just started working out (got my gym membership two weeks ago) and I'm still in the "Holy shit I have no idea what I'm doing!" phase of my learning. And what do we do when we have no idea what we're doing? Ask someone!
So I ask the guy doing cable curls (Is that a thing? Because that's what it looked like to me.) if he could help me out after his set. Fella' was probably ten years younger than I am and has arms as big around as my neck, so I kind of figured that he knew what he was doing.
He was very kind to come over and walk me through how to do a deadlift, step by step. He did it on his own a few times for illustration, then watched my a few times as I tried it out. He was even kind enough to not notice that I was struggling just to lift the bar.
Andrew, if you're out there, thank you for your help. The fact that I want to amputate my butt is a testament to the degree of assistance you provided.
That someone could take time out of their schedule to help a total newb lift the bar five times made a hell of a positive impression on me. There are more than a few people like me, big ass belly and little ass muscles, who face no small trepidation at the prospect of going to the gym; so hopefully all of you know just what it means when someone like yourself helps someone like myself with something so simple. I don't know if that's something you encourage here on /r/bodybuilding, or if that's something from the community in general, or if I just caught a good guy on a good day, but thanks!
If you helped someone out and they didn't take the time to show appreciation, let me do what they should have: Thanks for being awesome!
