This sounds logical, and what you said is true. Beginners can hurt themselves. But at no point in the comic is it said that she's a beginner. Or that this is a new gym.

She's literally right next to the bar and right before she's about to put the weight on, he came over to do the final step of putting the weight on. And she's not straining in any panel. There's no indication that she's a novice or needed help at all.

Well, she's a girl, so of course she is. Girls don't .. well, do what she's doing, I suppose.

When I used to be a gym rat in college, I used to get elderly men and women who would ask me to rack/unrack a bar for them.

I even had people ask me to teach them how to use equipment.

The gym is far more inclusive than most of the internet thinks. People are more than happy to help you and rarely judge you.
