^^ The gym is a temple and as long as you are putting in the work, everyone will respect you. Fatties, whoever, if you're there you get my respect. I think the point of the the thread is those who do not respect the "temple" and others that are there.
No one needs to let out blood curdling screams when pressing a 45 lb bench bar, I am exaggerating intentionally. Nor am I commenting on what you lift or anyone else.
Just that, hey there are other people here too, so be wise and practical when you want to disrupt others.
As for the squatting video. The first one. Was that 275? He didn't even go a full squat and he had the giant lift it for him. This is when you drop weight so you can actually do the work. MikeCF really introduced the concept of HIIT workouts. Go to his blog at dangerandplay.com. It isn't the number (i.e. how heavy you lift) it is actually how much real work you do.
Side note: When you can't do the exercise properly like benching with the bar actually hitting your chest, with a pause, then go lighter weight.
