Noticed for a while now (Like, a few years) that you can't look at anything lifting/bb'ing related without seeing a steady stream of retards making retarded comments. I'll just list off the ones I saw today alone as examples:
1) Vid of someone pulling 860ish, comments section full of 'Doesn't count with straps', 'congrats it's 1x bodyweight', 'I could do that if I was on gear too', 'steroids!'
2) Pic of a pro athlete (Ronaldo I believe) looking fuckin ripped as hell, comments full of 'Omg that isn't ripped', 'steroids!', 'he's small', 'nobody cares'
3) Vid of someone benching about 500, comments 'Bouncing doesn't count', 'Wasn't locked out', 'didn't pause no lift', 'do it flat back no arch'
Just the first three that I recall, and of course plenty of people crying 'durr eGo LiFtInG! LoWeR tHe WeIgHt!'
What the fuck happened. When I first got into this shit early 2000s everyone who had an interest in the gym was a fucking MAN about it. Big numbers being moved around got nothing but praise, good or great physiques got nothing but praise, people didn't nitpick and try to shit on everyone, nobody dared tell someone to lower the fuckin weight and all that nonsense. It's retarded out there now, both online and in the gym itself. The new age crowd of gym goers are only there to make tiktok videos and take butt selfies, and the online discussion in forums and social media is fuckin trash.
When did it go wrong guys? What event was the turning point?
