Moreover, the guy’s behavior compelled Swoll to bring the issue to light, once again. “If you can’t respect others at the gym, stay home. Build your own gym. #MYOB,” the caption hinted. Taking a blunt stance on the matter, the influencer let out, “So you’re upset that the man was in your way, in your video when you’re the one hitting a set and filming in front of a dumble rack, really? If anything, he should be upset with you.”

Furthermore, the 37-year-old athlete illustrated his antics stating that the fellow gymgoer had to take the trouble of walking around the guy to reach the rack. And when he enquired about a certain weight, “you rudely have to reply: No you’re in my video,” Swoll said. That’s not all, the guy even turned a blind eye to all the comments criticizing his actions. Thus, the bodybuilder revealed, “People try to tell you this in the comments, but of course, you had to reply that, they don’t matter. They were corny.”
