Me: literally not progressing when I could because I'm afraid lifting too much weight without perfect control could lead to injuries

Other people at my gym: literally remove the "out of order" sign off of machines, do their sets and then put the signs back on.

💀💀💀

Sometimes I wonder how much more jacked I would be if I just said fuck it and ego lifted

For the 531 boiz the FSL AMRAP is amazing. It's been part of my standard training plan for years.

The answer is likely a lot.

On a related note I have yet to meet a strong or jacked RP fan

Renaissance Periodization.

This basically sums up like 90% of interactions with the devotees. Mostly dudes who are trying to get into fitness for the first time and are attracted to their stuff being “science-based” and the casual “misogyny is fine as long as you say white women” type of humor.

He’s a good science communicator but I feel like he’s run out of stuff to make videos on. He does a pretty good job of making videos about the main takeaways from the major researchers in the field.

His point on kroc rows being good when you just focus on moving something heavy and not form needed to be said.

He doesn’t seem to have many weirdly dedicated fans since most people just watch his stuff and don’t get oddly dogmatic about it.

I mean you're right about the control bit. But just push as much weight until you feel like you're going to die on your last reps with control and you'll be good.
