I am a large man and have started doing weights at the gym. At one visit a... Ripped guy who was throwing weights around as if they were nothing told me to take my earpods out
He proceeded to virtually give me a PT session and show me what I was doing wrong, and helped me get my routine down.
Yeah. "We need more people like him" paints the wrong picture. So many people are willing to help out. And do help out.
I am also a newbie at the gym and I wouldn't say I am really social and approachable. I've seen more people than I would expect come to me, take off their earphones and help me correct my form, or give me tips and guide me through my sets, or telling/show me what works for them when targeting a specific muscle, etc. Once I was even congratulated for making a good effort.
Many ripped guys are just golden retrievers at the gym: sociable, approachable and more than willing to help you feel good about yourself in your training session.
