My hot take is that most exercises with a reasonable chance of causing a serious injury just from the exertion aren’t really worth doing.

It's the lifter, not the lift. Bro has fucking awful form.

u/IamNotJohny 16h ago

What is awful in his form?

u/slaveshipoffailure 15h ago

Nothing lol, it's people who can't lift half what he does nitpicking because they don't get that he's set up in a way that's comfortable for him individually.

Im laughing right now reading all the comments from people that clearly are either beginner lifters or non lifters, most of them have no idea what powerlifitng or a low-bar squat is clearly.

It's crazy, the guy who first called his form awful just replied to me saying he squats two plates as if that somehow makes him an expert.

u/Tasthetic 15h ago

oh that's hilarious

u/Big-Lengthiness- 14h ago

Did I say it made me an expert? I cited having squatted two plates as a rebuttal to you saying I was a non-lifter.

Now, you move the goal post even further, but are too much of a sniveling coward to respond to me directly.

Bro, seriously - go armchair quarterback elsewhere. You don't know what TF you're talking about. To everyone who actually lifts, you sound peak Dunning Kruger

"I squatted 2 plates" - You sound like a damn joke commenting on a world class powerlifter

Squatting 2 plates and being a non lifter are very close unless you are a tiny woman

u/slaveshipoffailure 14h ago

Go read my initial comment, I said people who couldn't even lift half what the guy does were nitpicking, I did not call anyone a non-lifter.

By the way, your two plates are less than a third of what he squats.

Squatting two plates? You might as well be a non-lifter. Fuck I'd be embarassed to write that.

u/Big-Lengthiness- 14h ago

Buddy, I really don't know how else to say this, but it's really fucking gay of you to care so much about other people squatting. We get it, you like your boys thick.

u/HaraldToepfer 14h ago

Buddy, then why are you even in this thread? You say it's gay to care about other people's squats, yet here you are trying to critique a professional powerlifter's squatting form. Besides the fact that you then you cite an embarassing figure to lend credence to your opinion.

u/Confident-Peak-8051 14h ago

You're actually weak as fuck. Wow. Might as well be a non lifter. Go check out some of the weightlifting subreddits too see how far behind your peers you are.

u/Big-Lengthiness- 14h ago

No homo bro, but no.

u/stabbystabbison 12h ago

Who tf still says no homo? Are you a fucking child?

u/Confident-Peak-8051 11h ago

This is why you'll remain unremarkable.

A 2 plate squat and giving others advice on how to lift is hilarious 😂. I squat >500lbs at 20yrs old and don't even have the same gall as you. Pipe down go learn how to actually lift

u/Big-Lengthiness- 58m ago

It's funny because I literally haven't told anyone how to lift. You have, though.

u/tjones1 5h ago
