The guy isn't remotely funny, he is acting like a dick (I actually came across a video of his before this he was trying to do some PUA stuff on chicks on the street and it sucked balls but even so I think I reacted diffrently to the content because I know what his channel is about).
Maybe that has something to do with our differing responses. I've never seen the guy before, and he's acting like a dick - so he's a dick. You've seen him make a fool out of himself, so when he's acting like a dick, he's really just completely socially inept.

Why the fuck would you care about a snarky comment from a small guy WHO DOESNT EVEN KNOW YOU and poses zero threat to your worldview. To the point where you think the correct respons is to hit him???
This is a video of a man coming up to other men and trying to "start something" with them. His goal is to produce a response much like the one he got. His purpose is to create problems. it's not funny, it's a little bit sad and a whole lot obnoxious. I'm just surprised that no one actually hit the guy. I only watched the first clip, but one of his responses was LITERALLY asking to be hit. That justifies it imo.

There might also be a cultural barrier about this.
I suppose we differ there too. when you come up to an obstruction, you have to deal with it. You can go through it, around it, over it, take it apart into little pieces, build an airplane and fly over the top of it, I don't care what. You don't have to let the obstruction influence you long term, but you do have to deal with it right here and right now before you can move forward at all. That's the definition of obstruction.
farvacola: haha that's funny I had no idea about this. I can see where you guys are coming from. I've never had anyone I don't know tell me a bb/fit/ meme ever.
phyre112: Agreed he is a dick but he did not appear threatening to me and I would have perceived it as an obvious joke (as previously explained due to cultural diffrences). So I don't see why you would want to sink to his level so fast, he wasn't making physical contact or anything he was just acting smug while in most cases having no right to, easy to walk away from.
No fault in not liking the style of comedy, I don't mind that. The first one was the worst in that regard though. And it is also funny to notice how the biggest guys are the most easily offended.
That's not an actual difference we are in agreement, you just interpreted it diffrently. A meaningless obstruction would be something like skipping/whine through DLs just because you forgot chalk. Same thing about working your way back from injury. There are no excuses. just work to be done. If you can justify hitting that guy it is the right thing to do, but I don't see how you can come to that conclusion. Do note the clip you watched was probably the most agressive he was actually quite quick to back down when it escalated other times.
Video wasn't funny, and it's not a cultural thing. It's a stranger approaching you and picking a fight. That's all that was. I agree that liking that sort of thing makes you, in turn, a dick.

If you're offended by that, so what? U mad bro?
We already had a funny comment like that. I think it's nuances where properly explored.

Meh, might've been unnecessary, I'm just really genuinely upset anyone would find bullying funny.
well its gone midnight (lol) so that makes it 7 days without smoking
i got a broom handle and done some bodyweight squats with and without my shoes, plus ankle stretching (been REALLY slacking lately and mobility shitting up again).
i ate like shit this weekend but now gonna drink some sick milk and watch some dotaaaaaaa
Work on correcting my buttwink continues. I found this video very helpful: . Thing is, I gotta stretch every day to make progress with this, and I hate stretching. Punch me in the face repeatedly, just don't make me stretch T.T
I need some help from the knowledgable PT and general healthy folks. I've noticed i've got a quite severe anterior pelvic tilt, which makes my stomach and my butt look weird. Does anyone have experience with this and knows how to correct it? I'm mainly looking at stretches, or exercises. Lifting heavy alone didn't help with it. Thanks in advance.
Hey guys!After 3-4 years of fucking around I'm finally back in the gym yay^^

just off the cuff, work your hip mobility by doing deep, slow/fast bodyweight squats with a broom handle. be careful of your knees - itll be better if you wore high heeled shoes while doing it. work on ankle mobility to help you squat better and protect your knees. my hip mobility has improved in a short amount of time and seemingly my ability to stand with good posture has followed in a remarkable fashion
lol. Yeah maybe a bit creepy... But seriously it made bw training so much more accessible and easier to understand. No need to scour forums and youtube videos for routines and exercises anymore. It's one of the best things that has happened to me in the last ~6 years of my dull life. It's not like I'm a stalker really... I just really appreciate eshlow's help and I can't really do much else than recommend his book in return.
Whelp, my copy of HOTS just arrived, I've got no clients today, and although it is requiring all of my self-control, I am still going in for leg day. Here goes
