They remind me of the adolescent roosters running around my pasture after the spring hatch, puffing themselves up and squabbling and trying to figure out who's top cock. I always draw some bemused stares when I do some of the big compounds -- like squats -- and *especially* when I get up on the dead platform. I can almost read their minds; "What a dumbass. He's never going to get omfghueg doing those!" Some of them sport amused, condescending, half-smiles as they watch. That always makes me chuckle inside. The other day I was doing some SLDLs, and I noticed this kid watching me. When I had finished my sets, he came over and start asking me about 'em; apparently SLDLs were a new thing to him. When he asked me why I didn't have what he thought was a sufficient number of plates on the bar, I told him that that was all I could lift while maintaining perfect form, and patiently tried to explain that perfect form with lower weights usually leads to greater gains (and less injuries!) than higher weights with shitty form. For a moment -- one brief, shining moment -- I thought the lightbulb came on. But then, interrupting me, he said: "Yeah bro, but how are you going to bulk if you don't lift your max? If you lifted heavier, dude, you'd be huge." I just said "Hey, thanks for the tip. I'll give that some consideration," and walked away, doing a mental facepalm. JHC.
