When going heavy on dumbbell bench without a spotter do you bros slowly lower the weights to the floor after the set or do the turn and sit up with the weights still in hand? Because I suck at the latter and feel like I'm going to frick my rotator cuff with the former
You're doing it wrong both ways. Everyone knows you just drop the weights straight to the floor after the set so everyone knows how heavy you're going.

Don't forget to throw in a little Ric Flair "Whoooo" as you hop off the bench and look in the mirror.

I was doing sets on flat bench to failure a couple weeks ago and fricked up and did one too many. I laid that shite down on my chest and rolled it down to my knees graceful as frick. Just gotta know how to safely get out of different lifts is all.
And I don't tell anyone shite about their form. I don't wanna be that guy.

If by "hurting themselves" you mean "not getting the maximum gains in their workout" then yeah, I do feel obligated.

Wow. Two pages and not a single dumb crossfit comment. The OT is slipping.

I do crossfit so I'm in no position to criticize anyone's form.

Latter. Then ten shrugs.

It's all about the dumbell roll too. I mean, a 8 foot roll is one thing, but when I drop those bad boys, I want them rolling into ankles 30 feet away.

I don't workout at Planet Fitness with all you OT poor jabronis so I don't have this problem.

Most common thing I see are people rocking their arms during standing dumb bell curls or using their back to help lift. I never say anything though bc they are grown arse men who could easily Google this shite

If it's a youngster/teenager then yes. Most people never receive proper instruction when it comes to resistance training and weightlifting so they don't know any better. I know of too many young guys who could potentially hurt themselves later on in life as a result of poor form or technique. I am inclined to include women in this group. However, the majority of the time if you offer a suggestion or some advice to a female at a gym she automatically assumes you are hitting on her or being condescending with your remarks. Meanwhile, if it's a grown man then frick them. Most of that isn't ignorance as much as it is blatant stupidity or stubbornness. As long as they continue to ignore gym protocol and etiquette then I don't feel compelled to assist them in anyway.
I agree 100%

Every gym has them. Are you under any obligation to say anything to them?
Hell no. There really is no excuse for dumb fricks to do things in the gym that will hurt themselves when there is so much info on the internet on how to do lifts correctly. It's literally obscene how much info is out there. Or just buy a few Muscle and Fitness mags at the store if you are still in the stone age.
Better yet, get a trainer unless you are a poor.
