A real worry I have about squat form in gyms now
I've been going to the same gym for years, and lately, I see more people doing squats with bad form. They put on too much weight too fast and don't keep their backs straight. Just yesterday, I watched someone round their shoulders and lean forward way too much. It took me back to when I hurt my knee from not setting my feet right. I was out for weeks and learned the hard way. Now, I make sure to go slow and keep my chest up. It seems like everyone wants to lift heavy right away, but good form keeps you safe. Let's all remember to check our stance and breathe right before adding plates.

Yeah I absolutely said something. One time my neighbor's music was shaking my walls at 2am. Walked right over and knocked. Told him it was insane. He turned it down but man it was awkward. Always feels weird but sometimes you gotta do it.

Bring a six pack, makes the ask easier.

Is it really worth getting so worked up over someone else's squat form? Most people figure it out on their own or learn from mistakes, like you did. Maybe if we took @logan66's advice and brought a six-pack to the gym, we'd all chill out about this stuff. But honestly, how many people actually get hurt from a few bad squats? It seems like we're making a mountain out of a molehill sometimes.
