Facts. I don’t care if someone films progress, just don’t block equipment or teach terrible form for likes. Lift first, film second.

Commercial gyms are basically social media gyms now. Old-school vibes are hard to find.

Coaches and content creators make sense. Random dudes filming partial reps… not so much.

Some of these guys spend more time checking clips than resting between sets 😂

As long as they’re not in my way, I try to ignore it. Headphones on, tunnel vision.

What kills me is the bad form getting praised online. New lifters think that stuff is legit.

I don’t mind filming sets, but when it turns into a 10-minute production between curls, that’s when it gets annoying.

Bro for real. Every squat rack has a ring light now. I miss when people just lifted and bounced.

Lately it feels like every rack has a tripod next to it. People more worried about angles than their lifts, blasting bad form for the camera. I’m all for sharing progress, but sometimes it feels like we’re filming a reality show instead of actually training. Anyone else noticing this?
