Wear a black boxing mouth guard. It makes you seem as intimidating as hell and it prevents you from grinding your teeth while lifting.

When you take it out of your mouth for a drink of water people will naturally be interested about it and make an inquiry. Or leave it in and grin at the assholes. It will scare the crap out of them.

just put in your earbuds, turn on your ipod, and concentrate on what you are there to do!

The "earbud defense". An excellent approach.

I use this mostly when I go shopping and I don't want the sales people to disturb me. It works very well--even if you are not actually listening to anything.

People that are jerks in the gym are just insecure I guess. But I encounter just as many jerky people outside the gym.

hurrah! - if the only place you find stuck up people is at the gym! People who suck are everywhere! :(
But really, that's their problem not mine!
