Ego lifting vs clean reps

That wasn’t ego lifting lol, that’s you looking like you’re new to 90’s and slowly progressing. Keep up the good work! 💪🏼

the first one is not ego lifting this form is not that bad

Struggling to lift is not ego lifting. Get it right.

First guy wasn't ego lifting. He could've gone a little bit deeper, but overall not bad.

Don't put other guys down, we're all on the same journey.

I feel like ego lifting is becoming a loose term. There's a difference in grabbing heavy weights and maxing out. Dude looks like he's maxing out.

glad that all of the comments are what I was going to say lol

[nkxbolt]

The second guy didnt even fully extend his arms

[catspher]

Fun fact- you can't ego lift in this exercise, if u can pick it up u can rep it

If there is one thing I hate, it being accused of ego lifting when a lot of us actually workout for ourselves, whether it to improve your sports performance or improve your mental health and escape from reality. Workout is extremely personal to a lot of us including me, and anyone who flat out accuses us just insecure about themselves or just trying to ruin your day!!!

Love it!!! Been ego lifting myself for about 5 years now and feel great. Just takes a little dedication but we all can get there if you are willing to just put in the time and effort.

that’s not ego lifting he’s just pushing himself

[petercortez]

Not ego lifting looks like he is new to the weight and struggling with it, totally normal

[sirhoudini]

Mannn the first one ain’t even ego lifting 🤣🙌🏻 I respect the humbleness 💪🏻

[peterbauer]

That’s not ego lifting, you are just pushing it harder with a heavier weight.

[Dee-ekvk]

That’s not even close to ego lifting. That’s how you get Big

[phoebelemy]

Nah, struggling and lifting slow is not ego lifting. Ego lifting is when you swing it like crazy and do partial reps.

[animeking]

If you always focus on form, you’ll never get bigger. Last couple reps break form a little. If you think you can push yourself up in weight.

First dude is just on his last set going to failure

[StrengthScholar]

The first one definitely was not ego lifting. Stuff isn't always going to look pretty when you're pushing yourself beyond your limits.

What he needed, was a spotter, not the negative comments.
