You know there's plenty of people in the startup sphere who powerlift or crossfit who are perfectly well-adjusted, normal human beings right?
And perhaps those lunk alarm videos are to protest a series of ads in which powerlifters and bodybuilders are portrayed as narcissistic morons. Having lifted in one of the most serious gyms in London for both groups, I can say this is most certainly not an accurate depiction.

- atdrummond 14y agoThe first "lunk alarm" video I ever viewed was of a West Point graduate who got tagged for his deadlift hitting the ground "too loudly". For every obnoxious video you may find, there's tens of threads in various bodybuilding and strength forums of people who were asked to leave for doing very basic and non-disruptive barbell lifts. Even if every single lunk alarm video was as you described, it wouldn't be sufficient to paint a picture of either the bodybuilding or the strength athletics community.

I missed the part where I tried to do that. Help me out? The videos I'm talking about are the ones where someone sets off the lunk alarm and is politely asked to take a chill pill, and responds by trying to tear the building off of its foundation.
