Yeah soo all you hear about when your in the weightroom is form this form that, hey your not doing it right, stop dude thats wrong.  Do us all a favor, if you are just starting out, have talked to someone about weightlifting and think you have a good idea, then see someone who is experienced and decide you should tell them they are doing it wrong… well you need to shut the **** up.  Theres reasons for overloading and giving up a lil bit of form for some mass gains.

A good example would be today is my leg day, I have done squats two different ways, sumo squats as we used to call em in my old powerlifting group, and standard.  I do both of these below parallel.  I can honestly say I get the lowest out of any of the people I see in the gym at my university.

Now when I see someone else doing twice the weight and only going down an eighth of the way I am (you know the lil knee bend that means you can do 550),  I dont say anything, I might smile a lil bit as he brags to everyone in the gym that he has the strongest legs, but I dont get onto him.

On the other side of that, When I am doing my low squats, and some guy who claims he can squat 525 tells me I shouldnt squat like that because Im going to break my legs I get angry.  Luckily after I finished working out and completed all my sets he jumped on the rack.  Put on 315 with a bench underneath him.  Took it off, sat down, and then he and the guy spotting him couldnt get it up, I had to help.  Thats the guy who can do 525 and thinks I dont know what im doing.

If your that guy, please, shut the **** up, actually, better yet, just dont talk to me, i dont like you, i dont want to know you, yes I look better than you, no your not stronger, go talk to someone else.
