A TikToker has become an instant icon for telling a man at the gym to f**k all the way off after he attempted to interrupt her set at the gym without asking her first.
TikToker @dezsquats posted the video of the man coming over and placing his hands upon her barbell while she was in the middle of a set, prompting her to chase him away from the bench yelling at him.

"This man had been following me around the gym trying to 'help' me my entire lift," she wrote.
TikTokers were appalled at both the audacity of the man and his complete disregard for her safety so he could flex his machismo.

In a follow-up video, our original poster (or OP) elaborated there really was no story behind this man—he was just some random man.
“He was following me around the gym, and I just went off and told him not to touch my f**king bar.”

Reportedly, the man slinked back off to a corner after the woman yelled at him and did not resurface.
She also has stopped going to that gym.
Recently another TikToker went viral for her "gym hack" of putting eyeshadow on her neck to resemble a hickey so men would leave her alone while she was working out.

Once again, men, if you're looking for a sign on whether or not to "help out" that girl at the gym when she hasn't asked for help, this is your sign to leave her alone and go about your day.
Otherwise it might be TikTok holding you accountable next.
