I didn't stop him, just shook my head in disgust. My thought was with all that gear he was wearing he had to be aware of what proper form should look like. I think he was just trying to put on extra weight to avoid girls outlifting him(he was only deadlifting 185lb).
My question; should I have stopped him, or is he getting what he deserves? Most people wouldn't be susceptive to the help anyway so my thought was why should i even bother. Has there ever been a time when you have stopped someone because you were literally concerned for them hurting themselves?

I stop and say something every time. I would feel bad if they got hurt and I didn't because they obviously don't know. Whether it is just being uneducated or taking advice from a bro science friend... I feel at least saying something.
Then again, I think Iowa is a bit different than where all you jagoffs live based on the things that annoy you and what you do in response.
