deep squats FTW!

Euro TV strongman.

Some Guy: "i'm having trouble progressing with the shoulder press"

Me: "your grip is way too narrow, you need to improve your lockout, and your lats are letting you down"

Him: " i'm keeping it narrow for the increased ROM"

Me: .........

..............................................................................................

Same Guy: "can you look at my powersnatch technique"

Me: "i can, but i'm not a weightlifter and i'm certainly not a coach and i can't really do it very well myself"

Him: "you're better than me"

He proceeds to snatch

Me: " you're parralel to the ground for a start"

Him: "but my scaps are over the bar"

Me: "dude, it's nowhere near the correct position"

Him: "well i think it'd good for power developement, is there anything else wrong?"

Me: "man, you're not developing any "power" you're rowing the bar, a half amuscle snatch/press while jumping for not reason, would you not consider starting from the hang?"

Him: " no i'm starting from the ground for the full ROM"

Me: " but there's no point starting from the ground if you're in the wrong position".

Him: "we'll just call it a difference of opinion"

Me: *considers beating him* "look man, you asked me, and i'm telling you you're wrong"

/Goes back to lifting

He asked me loads of stuff, and everytime i told what i saw was the problem with whatever the lift he contradicted me.

I considered eating him.

It was the physical manifestation of d'oracle's online persona.
