Tell me to F**k off but...

Its always tough to approach people in the gym, particularly if you are not like me and actually naturally shy (shut it those who know me! :))

If I need to approach lads my own age or maybe younger than me, rather than swagger over with male bravado, I'll say something like

"Mate, tell me to f**k off if you like but you probably best off doing deadlifts rather than hamstring curls..."

And leave it at that, this seems to work to start a good conversation on the level

Just a thought...
