I long for the bygone day when my gym wasn't full of twinks in huge belts, knee wraps, and lifting shoes setting up their phones to record mediocre lifts.

When I was 94kg I was squatting 270 for reps.

It's the slomo filming part. You see it in the gym and you just think "total cunt". It's not the weight, it's the filming of it.

Are they using the slow mo videoing to break down their lifts to improve them? If they are, I see no problem with that. It's how you improve.

Maybe, but then why are you uploading it to youtube and posting it on a public forum?

It's a cunt's trick.

Besides, you improve form by lowering the weight and concentrating on building the mind/muscle connection. Worrying about improving your form on a 1RM is pointless -- just look at any strongman comp.

It's the I'll-dispense-advice-about-lifting-to-a-15-year-vet-but-I-can't-squat-double-my-bodyweight-yet-even-with-belt-and-wraps nature of this.

The very nerve of it, Mr Carlos. The very bloody nerve!

Fair enough!

I'm still unable to squat double my body weight and I have not much chance of improving it at the moment as I'm waiting to here back on an op for a torn lateral meniscus cartilage :/

Bench press is still shit but my over head press is improving quite a bit. I'm up to 75kg for 1 with a body weight of 83kg

Yeah if you video a 1RM it isn't for form. it's because you think you're hot shit. You better be putting down elite numbers if you're going to record that. videoing yourself doing reps for technique is fine, but I've also never seen anyone do it lol.

Fuck no, I killed my account after I realised everyone else on it was a cunt EXCEPT you.

Seriously, if there was a way to have only you, Roger and BT on Facebook, I'd do it.

There's also another guy from back in the day, but I forgot his name. He appeared one day, was excellent, and then just left as dramatically as he appeared.

:F

It's never about the weight. Like Slarveback said, it's only about the weight if you think the weight is impressive. You can't squat DYBW yet, but neither are you posting videos of yourself like some kind of hipster cunt in a stupid fucking beard, wrapped up like like a dead pharaoh. No offence to Andyman, of course, the muggy shitslag who weighs less than I shoulder press standing for reps.

LOL, what a cuntishly sanctimonous idea.

Hey, why don't I just deny friend requests to everyone I've ever met, including members of my family, in order to have three people on my Facebook, two of which I'm not in any contact with, VS just simply not using Facebook.

INTERNET!

Gym updates are my kryptonite. Two updates about how good their session was, and they are off the list.

No I'm talking about an actual rep-by-rep breakdown of the session. As in a list of exercises followed by poundage. For. The. Entire. Workout.

Shit, the other day, I managed a muscle-up after finally figuring out the problem was my grip position. First thing I did was call someone to gloat. Totally acceptable stuff.
