Trying to make some gym friends to workout with, feel like finding a common ground would help so I saw group of dudes trying bar muscle ups only one huge dude could do it so I came up talked 4 sec then I tried and did a few and I can easily do bar muscle ups kipping or strict. But instead of like bonding they all were butt hurt and seemed annoyed lol. The only dude that could do them was really annoyed I could tell . Was lame

Any tips ?

I guess actually conversating help.
Autism don't.
''Bragging'' won't either.

Yea def wasn't bragging didn't give off that vibe idk what they took it as . Think they didn't like a smaller guy doing it infront of them or something . It hit their ego somwher

the way u made it seem is ur trying to 1 up them lol.. Edit: (A lot of people don't like that even though u may be trying to make friends... some people are fucking weird. God forbid you try to tell someone about their form to help and improve them they get extremely fucking butthurt... a lot of narcissist people which is unfortunate)and most of the time if people are in groups from what ive experienced they dont want to even be bother by anyone else other than who they are with.

Usually what works for me because I see regulars a lot (by themselves not in groups) I will be like "hey whats up man I see you all the time here" usually kicks off well, and i always end with "if u need a spot just lmk. " Most people ask for a spot and then we talk and then friends made and then profit? Not that hard lol

Lol I guess in a way seems like that but I came off friendly and haven't even attempted one in long ass time so was trying it out too not going in and showing em up. But ok I gotcha

They honestly probably thought you were weird.

Why would you want to be friends with any group of guys doing muscle ups anyways? Lol

Might want to feel their ''up muscle''

Lol ok , and Idk hah just trying to get to know peeps I see. I like Body weight movements like that so thought would've worked well since they were working on it .

Also was hot Asian

i chat up with people all the time, little small convos here and there. i'm cool with everybody. we always greet each other but tbh i have never made a friend at the gym before. i'm probably not that interesting.
