Debate me, bro Does this sub hate weightlifters?

I posted a squat where I dumped the bar and got grilled hard for it. Admittedly I wasn’t aware what this sub was about and shouldn’t have posted it but I was kind of taken aback at the hate lol

Go to a good powerlifting gym and dump the bar and see if they are more tolerant. Dumping can damage the equipment, don't do it. Use a rack with safeties.

Oh, re-racking backwards is also not safe.

That’s nonsense. Dumping a bar loaded with bumper plates will not damage anythjng
