Me too, but the other way. I'm the jealous,scared, mesmerized, egotistical one.
I remember when i was a teenager and being around the big guys in the gym. I felt like a weenie you know. I would always watch them in between what i was doing. It was alot of inspiration and some fear as well. Fear of idk...not being like them? Inadequacy? I remember thinking what if...someday i could look like them! How freaky that would be. How awesome it would be. You know this stuff is ingrained in us. My dad was a freak i always said and its hard to get over how impressive that is when their in there prime and chewing bubble gum and kickin ass! You know now i find myself in that peculiar position. I dont always notice it but im becoming more aware now. Alot of eye ballz in the gym now. Especially the younger ones. Like i was back then doing the same thing. I try to remember how unapproachable i can be and i try to smile more cuz its alot more welcoming. People get the wrong impression. You know the LESS serious ones? Like im isolated or mean or hostile looking. Im trying to be better about that. Cuz theres some good info i can pass along in the gym to the ones that are receptive to it.
Just last week i was helping a pair of HS aged boys with their squat form. They both had ALOT of butt wink in their squat. I was helping them breakdown their form down and the mechanics of the squat. Helping them see things they never seen or probably even thought of before. Finally i decided it would be best to have them front squat. Viola, problems with form solved. Its like i could see their minds running and see them thinking now. Maybe someday when their squatting 8hundo theyll remember that old bald headed bastard and think fondly of it when they were just weenies themselves. I know i remember those guys that helped me early on

I told you, stop wearing your bright rainbow belly shirt and florescent pink spandex shorts... You'll be more approachable.

You are a good man.
I dunno what it is with my gym, maybe because it's a yuppie gym, no one helps any one...well there's like 6-8 guys that are cool, help with form, spots, etc...but most of the members look at you like you're insane for offering help. I'm no pro, by far, and have many holes in my program. But I've offered to help a few folks, very calm and friendly approach, not my normal asshole approach, and have gotten looked at like I'm from Mars. I just smile and went on my way. Couple folks I've seen for a year or more and they make zero gains. Same size, same composition, same shitty form.
Yeah adults are set in their ways. Ego and they dont want help no matter how badly they need it. I dont even bother. No matter how much more advanced you become over them they will still remain close minded. Kids on the other hand are still flexible enough to teach

Agreed. Most adults suck.
I have the same issue as you. I appear unapproachable because I have that "look" on my face and don't smile a lot in the gym but that's really just how I look when I'm concentrating. Add me wearing headphones and it detours a lot of people talking to me. Which is fine while I'm training but I honestly don't mind helping someone out or answering a question or two between sets or when I'm done.

Balls deep in strongman training. Evening weight at 235-237, heaviest I've ever been. Enjoying the small changes I'm seeing in my physique. Also being a new sport to me it's fun to see those big jumps in performance from learning new moves and techniques. 
THAT is putting in work.

No but decent fucking legs. I've been doing quads Mondays, hams Tuesday, calves twice a week, lunges Wednesdays and Saturday I'll squat and deadlift. Trying to get my legs up.
Like I said I'll show my weekly updates here
183lbs on 100g carbs past few days.. one more day until a refers sunday.
It's ducking coming together. If I can carb up correctly and hit that perfect stage pump I feel so damn good about the win. Hopefully stars are perfectly aligned come 3 weeks.
Roughly 21 days to go boys.
