Exactly.

Viewers also need to remember they are influencers travelling and making content. They aren't going to trash random people working to show off. No one wants to watch someone that's in the gym all day prove they are stronger than some dude working. That's rude and trashy. They'll talk them up, let them out-lift them, have a great time, go home, post a video, and collect dollars.

Also, if I'm going to risk hurting myself on a lift, I'm doing it in the gym, not carrying random shit

Also, I haven’t been at the gym enough in awhile, but in my experience, most bodybuilders are decent folks. I won’t say like paragons of virtue or anything but most of them are helpful and humble.

The most improvement I had in my lifting form was from a hulk of a guy asking if I wanted some tips and then spending like 20 minutes basically personal training me.

Agree. The scarier they look, the kinder they are.

At the end of the day, we all have a weight we can't lift. We all have a point of failure. Bodybuilders get humbled by heavy circles every day.

Some others never get humbled. They do years without something grounding them...reddit mods
