    People Who Talk Too Much in the Gym?

    I've seen so many of these guys during my still short boxing run.
    There be some guys who are at most brawlers, you see them swinging and jumping, landing here and there...
    Yet these guys talk too much, doing some Paulie Malignaggi speech as if they are 2x world champions.
    They see you on the bag, they come and tell what you should be doing instead of jabbing like that or posing like this .i. .
    They see you doing technique patterns or worse, partner up with you and tell you how you should be breathing?
    They see you doing some sparring with some guy. And what they do? Of course they should interrupt the session 5 to 6 times to share their golden ideas. I've seen some guy educating a buddy who always schools him...
    They catch you up just when you are leaving for the shower or after that in the lockers because education never ends, has no limits.
    I understand that these people don't have bad intentions and maybe trying to help or have a little chat, but I also believe they can't control their ego. They are trying to look like more than what they are in boxing, no disrespect, we all do it.
    I just listen to my trainer and experienced but little talking guys, I really embrace their suggestions. You notice experienced people really talk too little and generally say the same thing again and again.
    And it's worse if you have some defensive, slick style bcz these guys think you do what you do bcz no one told you that. Keep telling you to hold that lead hand up high (that's really interesting...), not to bend at the hip, not to back pedal, to stay there and take shots...
    Just mother***ing take your photos in the ring, take videos as you do bag or mitts work, post them on instagram or whatever, skip the sparring day, and get the *** out the gym without saying a single word to us.

      Guys who talk too much or what I hate even more, guys who have to make annoying sounds with every punch they land on the bag or mitts.

        If anyone comes up to you and tries to have a conversation with you while you’re training, you either ignore them or tell them you’re working.

          An old Olympic trainer said us once "whoever hits bags and mitts hardest are the ones know least".

            I've seen those guys before but they never really ****ed with me. I like to keep to myself in the gym and only talk when coach says something to me. I can only imagine if someone tried coming up to me and critiquing me every 5 seconds I'd lose my temper and tell him to get lost. But yeah, I've met those types of guys in general. Usually dumbasses who struggle to make it out of high school algebra.

              I usually use that moment to rip a hard fart.

                  Most people talk to much in the gym, gyms have become more of a social hangout than a workout. I don't workout in gyms anymore, don't need them.
                  60 dollars a month for socializing isn't necessary.

                    Depends. I usually I move away like an Ali shuffle so someone else takes the blames, but sometimes the tail follows you and you get caught red-handed.
