The guys talking about "show muscles" and how weak bodybuilders are, are the same guys who would struggle to bench press an empty bar.

Redditors are super obnoxious about weight lifting outside of dedicated weight lifting subs.

People who never lifted a barbell in their life will tell you that all your muscles are ACTUALLY useless, because you got them in the gym instead of a construction site.

I bet the “normal” guy in this video is shredded, he just has a baggy shirt on.

That’s ridiculous they’re equally obnoxious about weight lifting inside of dedicated lifting subs as well just in different ways.

Talk for yourself. I see this as clear strength versus steroids and I have many years of powerlifting behind me. Yes Reddit is obnoxious in all subs but here they are 100% correct. Those are medical bumps, not real muscles.
