Commenting on other's poor form?

The only time I've told someone about their form was when they were clearly new to the gym and loading up far too much weight. They didn't listen to me and now I just don't bother.

>>41774399
personally i wouldnt unless i thought they were about to hurt themselves
but it really depends on how comfortable you are telling someone that you do not know something that they do not want to hear

>>41774399
What's wrong with that?

>>41774399
i don't because there are tons of exercises out there that i have no idea about and don't know what he's trying to do

had a PT ask me if i'm trying to do diddys when i was doing RDL

>>41774592
however when i was new to the gym, i was benching to my collar bone and when i got someone to spot me he told me to bring the weight to around my nipples and it helped me improve my bench

so if i would only comment if you had some reason to be talking to them

>>41774399
Source?

I know you guys have seen people do deadlifts with a rounded back. I really want to go up to these people and tell them because I would do the same bad form and pinch a nerve. I just keep to myself and cringe when they are doing the exercise. Should I tell them anything?

>>41774399
Triceps kickbacks are the worst triceps exercise in the history of triceps exercises.

>>41774399
Why would you wear this to the gym?

>>41774767
to steal gains. that's why women go to the gym in the first place

>>41774399
Yes and no, respectively. The vast majority of people don't want unsolicited advice, and most of the people that feel a need to give said advice shouldn't be giving it.

>>41774399
Only if it's some scrawny/obese guy that is obviously new to working out and he's in danger of hurting himself. I'm not going to tell some jacked guy how to lift, though.

>>41774741
Yes. Or tell the gym staff decently they should check his form to avoid injury. That way you're out for good.

>>41774399

Maybe only when they are in danger of hurting themselves. Everybody's body are not the same and they probably have to train a different way.

I'm on the tipping point, been very close several times that I would walk up to some random person and ask if they want some tips.

Not there yet, but I think some people actually would listen.
I'm one of the gymrats and got some amount of strength/size.

>>41774850
Oh right.

The only time I did it was when some skellington who was new benched with a suicide grip, he listened and says hello every time we see each other now.

>>41774399
I inform people about stuff I would want to know in their situation, like heels/sides losing floor contact in squats, back curving more than what is acceptable etc. If anyone ever got annoyed they didn't show it it and pretended to be appreciative. I also appreciated getting corrected on skullcrushers when I was new to it and was unknowingly using shoulders.

>>41774399
My very first day at the gym I was doing lat pulldown and this guy comes up and tells me I'm doing it wrong then walked off. I felt awkward like people were watching my bad form so I didn't go back for another five years

>>41774399
Oh look it's the same guy from /pol/ spamming threads on /fit/.

I noticed he occasionally pops up on /v/ as well where he posts Asian dicks. And on /r9k/ and /sp/.

You should. A guy helped me realize a huge flaw in my deadlift form when I started lifting. He probably helped me avoid blowing my knee out

>>41775055
there's clearly no weights

also it's a smith machine.

I've watched this video several times and I don't see any weights at all.

Been weightlifting for a good while, so I help the underclassmen at my old high school out when I move back for the summer because their coaches don't give a damn about correct weightlifting technique

If I see someone headed straight to snap back city I might ask if they want any advice. I was pretty happy when I was a noob and a guy told me I was killing my back, so I figure other people might be aswell.

A LOT of women go to the gym because they want to attract a fit guy, not to work out.

Shredded guys aren't that common in real life, so going to the place where they gather makes sense.

A skinny little twink asked to work in the rack the other day when I was doing OHP. He proceeded to do ohp, get this.
>He stood the other way around.
>niggawhat.jpg
>Picked up the bar.
>Put it on his back
>Walked forward 3 steps
>Cranked out 7 reps of the most ridiculous ohp from behind his neck
>Finished, backed into the rack, somehow managed to rack the bar
>mfw proceeded to load the bar with half pleat

Didn't say shit, it was too funny to watch.

Just entered snap city like an hour ago. I'm dumb, but am I rounding my back? I was only able to record the first rep, but I heard and felt a pop in my lower back on the 3rd rep and have pretty bad pain right now. Pretty sure my form got even worse on the later reps as this is the heaviest I've attempted DLing.

>>41774399

I've only seen one situation where I even considered it. This guys squats were fucking horrible. I mean he just basically bent over completely, and then when he was coming up one side of the bar would be like a foot higher than the other.

He really needed help, but he was obviously new, and I didn't want to embarrass him, or anything.

kek

I saw some guy putting the bar at his upper back and then he tried to sit down because the weight was to heavy but he couldn't find a chair so there was trying to sitdown for like 8 times before he headed back to the rack

Fucking summerfags

>>41774399
I never do unless they ask. Had a guy in the squat rack next to me doing 3pl8 legit quarter squats for 3 and his 2 other friends were recording and giving him high fives and "damn dude nice " "beast mode!". Really made me wanna say something or at least show off but was doing 10s at 245lbs and didn't wanna jump off program. 99$ of the time they won't take your advice or they'll take it offensively unless you're 6'4" 330lbs at 7%bf. Just pray they get injured and learn.

have fun looking like a velociraptor

I would only tell someone if they were obviously new and I thought what they were about to do had a decent chance of actually injuring me.

That's a high threshold to cross to, since I'm always at least 10+ ft away from anyone else in the gym.

I came close to having to say something when some moron nearly catapulted a 5lb barbell off the bar, but he stopped in time and it just fell on the ground.

>>41774741
You should. I don't like the gym precisely because people don't say anything. It's generous to say something, regardless of what it is. Being open about it is better than worrying about what others are thinking, possibly looking down at you behind your back without interest in seeing you improve.

I think this is just some sort of horrible deformity, anon.

conversely, at a college gym, If i see a guy with good form is it weird to ask if he could help my form?

They're called squats, mate. He wasn't looking for a goddamn chair

Only if its dangerous to the guy doing the workout, otherwise i leave it

i dont want to be ''that guy''

I see this asian kid, can't be older than 15, at my gym almost every day. I admire his dedication, but his form is just sloppy as hell.

I was watching him do dumbbell curls, and good god. He only moved his arms up about 90 degrees and the rest was throwing the weight up like he's trying to start a lawnmower. He was rapid firing those 30lb dumbbells with those 12" cannons. Made me feel shame about my concentrated, full ROM curls with 20lbs.

>>41775970
Engage lats more, your hips are shooting up early you want to be lifting the weight off the ground as your hips rise.

>>41775889
Behind the neck ohp is legit

>>41774741
My rule of thumb is I don't say anything to anybody lifting more than me. So I don't really say anything ever, since the worst form is always by Chad, deadlifting 3pl8 with cat back for example. Once I hit 3pl8, I'll start saying something.

>>41775736
how does he do that

Apparently he holds 36 records in powerlifting. How the fuck are there even 36 different records at all, there are 3 fucking lifts

>>41775970
Stop looking up, you're straining the fuck out of your neck.

The weight is clearly not over midfoot, this is obvious because the bar's path is not vertical

The weight is on your toes

Also you aren't very tight off the floor.

I would do it if I see they are about to hurt themselves or at high risk of hurting themselves.

the gym isn't filled with Zyklon B

>>41774399
look at my anus day

>>41777735
its like this
5 reps of 400 lbs is a record
4 reps of 430 lbs is a record
3 reps of 450..... etc etc etc
this is just an example I know that's nowhere near the actual records but you get my point

>>41778700
no you idiot. there's different weight classes and different federations you can compete in and set records at

I don't watch other people workout, so it hasn't come up very often. The only time I remember saying something is when a guy was working in squats and he had a very rounded back due to too much weight.

Guy was looking straight up at the ceiling while doing squats and I told him to try and keep his neck straight or he can mess his shit up. You guys are too fucking worried about this crap. The worst that can happen is they tell you to fuck off. The guy thanked me for the tip though.

Nuh, rather watch.

>>41776833
Lol, how long have you been here for if you already adopted the CHAD meme but can't even deadlift 3 pl8? Kill yourself and stop spouting bullshit. Lift some weights instead of spending your time on here getting "redpilled"

>>41774767
Why would you ask this? You're obviously virtue signalling you dumb fuck.
There are guys running around with these cut out sweaters that show your their entire upper body basically, yet I never hear anyone complain about that here.
Let that bitch wear whatever she wants you fucking salty manlet.

>>41775878
Fuck, I just wish you guys all died.
I can legitimately feeling anger building up whenever I hear you "proud to be a fucking virgin MGTOW all women are the same and literally all are sluts guys" I don't even care about the women but the fact that this is all you guys seem to care about and that most likely none of you even lift is making me feel a seething hatred because you add nothing of value to this board.
