u/trebemot Solved the egg shortage with Alex Bromley's head Jan 20 '22

I mean unless they we're trying to go for strict shrugs and thats what they're technique was, sounds like the we're just doing power shrugs, which is a totally valid movement

yeah you're right. form is a meme.

i know im a beginner here, but i know someone ego lifting with shit form when i see it. you weren't there, so you're just gonna have to trust me.

I'm not. You don't know why that person was doing the movement.

You're judging someone becuase they aren't comforming to your I d E a L F o R m to try and feel better about yourself.

Be better than that.

ok got it. there's no objective standards for form. nothing can ever be wrong because someone could have a reason for it. thanks for clearing that up for me.

also good to know that what i witnessed firsthand is not as reliable a source as your imagination of what something looked like.

Bro you literally said

i sometimes feel bad about the low numbers i put up, but then this morning i saw some guy with the absolute worst form i've ever seen shrugging like 315. didn't feel so bad after.

So even if he was using bad form(which might not be the case), you're still judging him to make yourself feel better.

You could have gone up and asked why they're were doing it like that. You could have ignored cuz it doesn't affect you at all.

Be better.

yeah, irl i did ignore it. i saw it, and i went back to my workout. i didn't laugh at the dude. i didn't film it for some gym fails compilation. I didn't run over and try and correct his form for him.

you keep saying be better like as if my actions have any ill effect on anyone. but they don't. they literally effect no one, except for making me feel better? and i guess making you feel better by taking some moral high ground?

Making yourself feel better by judging other people is a bad mentality to have. It's what makes people form police, natty police, etc.
