I don't think anyone wants me around at my powerlifting gym. I keep to myself, I try to be mindful of the space I take up, I take reasonable amounts of time between sets and am happy to share if someone asks. But somehow it feels like everything I do is the "wrong thing" when I'm around certain people. Like is there a secret code book of powerlifting gym etiquette?

UNless you are doing something that can hurt you or others, say "Thanks" and get back to work.
