That’s valid, but there’s some base level stuff that is just infuriating to hear. Like, you’ll literally say some shit like “the lats don’t have good leverage past 120 degrees of overhead arm abduction” which is just a fact that you can find in any textbook, and a meathead will always tell you that you’re wrong.

Let me put it this way. I have never played basketball a day in my life. If I said “a field goal inside the big lines is worth 2 points” and then Lebron came up and said “no he’s wrong, it’s worth 5 points actually” would you go “oh well Lebron plays basketball so he’s right” or would you use an ounce of critical thinking?

The issue is that the goalposts will move forever. Have you ever heard someone appeal to Ronnie Coleman in these kinds of arguments? The amount of times I’ve heard “I think I’ll listen to Ronnie over you” is fucking mind numbing.

There’s a lot of appealing to authority in the community because many people want to be like said authority. I understand what you’re saying and my advice would be to just do you and ignore the rest. The other option is to get absolutely jacked and the problem solves itself.

The problem is I am jacked 😭😭 210 pounds lean at 6’2” I’m just not literally Ronnie Coleman, because I don’t have literally the best genetics of all time and I’m natty

I understand your frustration but all I can tell you is be the change you want to see. Also the activity usually attracts people who are not the brightest. The good thing is that’s the vocal minority. If they pull the “you’re not the Ronnie Coleman” line and they are smaller than you, then they might have been dribbled as a child and just ignore them. They’re more people like you and they are probably also looking for like minded people
