    I've only been doing SS for 4 months and I'm old and unimpressive looking so I don't offer advice to those I see doing things poorly at the university gym I use. But yesterday I was struggling to stay quiet. I watched this skinny 20ish year old girl load 200 lbs on the bar and then break every squat rule that Rip ever wrote. I swear if he'd seen her he'd have had a stroke. Quarter squats doesn't do it justice; more like 8th. I think the bar was moving vertically about 10 inches. Knees really coming together; I thought they might knock. Big time rounded lower back. Running shoes, needless to say. Head back, too. At least she had her elbows back.

    On top of that, I was there before her waiting for the rack and she butted in. I politely suggested we work together to which she objected that she was on a time schedule. I over-ruled that one and made her change weights with me. Hell, I'm old enough to be her grand fuckin' father and she disses me. Damned kids.

    On a brighter note, the kid that followed me did some of the nicest looking squats I've seen. I was truly jealous. Damned kids.

    Nice Story !

    After getting used to observe my own and training buddies form automatically i also tend to wander around in my gym seeing epic fail lifts everywhere. But i think most of them just dont know how to do it right but jesus if you help everyone u can stay there 24/7.
