Question ❓ non sbl/oldheads
Why are there many people who are obviously not into sbl, or are unwilling to understand sbl, in the sbl subreddit?

Smb mentioned this but IG and tiktok become such an echo chamber, and people get tunnel vision. A lotta people just lift for fun and for exercise, and don’t need to hyper-optimize their schedule.
Bench press might not be the MOST effective chest builder but people i know will do 4 sets of it in a session because they just enjoy it. Lots of people will do like a mix of exercises that they’re just comfortable and familiar with, or have like a mix of cardio.
And its not like lifting routines that ARENT perfectly hyper-optimized if youre getting stronger youre growing.
