I get where you're coming from, but then again, I've never heard anyone strong saying "I'm strong" - because strong is relational i.e. a strong mouse is something else than a strong elephant. We all tend to downplay our strenght accomplishments, because we're always striving for more and know that out there, there's someone that's stronger than we are.

“Just take a compliment” bro’s wholesome af

[@salvadorromero9712]

Yeah maybe Will shouldn't get a cookie for treating a man like a man but I just got through a vid from a top influencer (Kelly Wasaka) who treated a 30 year old dwarf lady like a baby or novelty. Disgusting. In this case Will didn't condescend to Sam by putting up with his bullshit or even phrasing it in a gentle way. (I'm 5'3" and have always loved being short and _hated_ it when tall people indulge short self-pity and have zero patience for it; alternatively, for things I _have_ been insecure about, when I was young I was frequently guilty of venting my doubts when complimented.) Some short people are so in their own heads that they forget when they're in an arena when their structure is clearly a genetic _gift_ . If you're built with huge delts no one should have to put up with your ingratitude for your gift when complimented. The _only_ appropriate response to a compliment is "Thank You." Anything else is disrespect to the other person and yourself.

​@@salvadorromero9712 ​I disagree. It depends on the circumstance, your beliefs and their beliefs. It is not necessarily "ingratitude", and instead there are many reasons to why they might say these things. His self-deprecating talk could stem from various factors and to assume that it must be from venting his doubts and "insecurities" is quite bold. Sometimes people just talk the way they talk because they have been used to it or like to talk that way. They don't necessarily mean any harm. It'd be boring if anyone would express things or feelings the same way, wouldn't it? Though, I would like to mention that this does not mean I am saying that he does not have insecurities. He might as well say these things because he does underestimate his strength, whether it is influenced from his mental insecurities as mentioned in the video, other people, his goals or wherever else. After all, he did mention how people might look at him and be unimpressed solely due to his height despite his strength and physique, and it can easily be speculated that people likely have caused insecurities to him, unless he has been able to suppress those and he just has a very humble way of talking and thinking or perhaps even an attempt for more objective thinking to perhaps suppress his mental insecurities or even other people's subjective opinions in a way or as a defense-mechanism. Perhaps even a mix of all. Regardless, I would like to say that in general, that I am in agreement that it is polite to say thank you to a compliment (although I do not believe it was necessarily intended to be disrespectful and do not believe it necessarily showed ingratitude), but the way we talk and think are so much influenced by our environment that something like this is very vague. The best we can do is show Sam support and give him the words he needs to hear the most if that's what it seems like he needs. Ultimately, I do not think it is nice to brush it off as "ingratitude" as these things are much more complex as far as my opinion goes on this matter.

@@salvadorromero9712 Thats the difference between men and women, men don't need to sugarcoat stuff and act nice if there isn't a point to being nice, women pretend to be nice even if they are dicks. There is nothing wrong with saying another dude is strong as crap if he is strong as crap.

[@anthonyjordan2496]

​@salvadorromero9712 I agree with you but while I am not 5'3 or short, there were very few times growing up where I was accepted as an equal or even treated like a person. I was bullied by everyone and put down a lot. Anytime someone says something nice to me or compliments me to this day at 38 years old, I still begin to disagree or correct them for them thinking that way. It isn't intentionally and I have gotten a lot better at saying thank you. But for me at least, it is due to a lot of trauma. It might be the case with him as well. He seems nice otherwise, it is unfortunate that he would feel like less than others when he is so strong and smart.

[@GeeBaby10]

I understand the argument for a 5’7, 200 pound dude having the advantage over the guy thats 6’3, 200 lbs.

Yeah if you are obviously gifted (in physique or anything else) people will underestimate the work you put in. Boo hoo. It beats the alternative. Stop being ungrateful. If people assume you are coasting because you make it look easy, just react by: learning the valuable lesson that ultimately _you_ have to know _yourself_ and that you are being true to your own values and potential and not being spoiled; and by letting others' underestimation of you spur you to work that much harder to dispel all doubts.

I can not grasp the fact he benched almost 3 times his bodyweight. Goddamn what a absolut chad.

[@harkaranbrar2342]

3x for him is equivalent to a normal person doing 1.5x, decntly impressive but his range of motion is like 2 inches which makes it extremely easy

[@valid_dripz8093]

@@harkaranbrar2342 i mean its still crazy

[@Mason-ii4yk]

He's achieving a full stretch which is considered full ROM. IF you can max out the stretch and push the weight to the maximum it can go it's full ROM, so technically it doesn't matter about the length of the ROM, but rather the stretch and pressing of the ROM and if he is maximizing it on his behalf, which he is.

I'm 4'10" and I totally understand his reaction to compliments, because he has been told countless times his strength and ability isn't true its only because of this or that. He is a badass, and has worked probably harder than most to get where he is. Love this 🖤 and Will is such a genuinely kind person, more people need to take notes and be more kind daily.

[@whyamisotilted]

As a guy in my 30s who is out of shape and needs to eat cleaner, but still lifts for size and has a bulky frame, I'm 5'8" and 240 lbs. (a healthier weight for me would prolly be 200 so I'm really out of shape right now) but at both weights and on my best day this dude lifts more than me on every lift. I could blame my injuries (disabled vet) but that would be 95% cope if I tried, dude's just fucking strong.

[@wafercrackerjack880]

For your height, without peds, you might need to be down to 170-180lbs, not 200. Unless you're a genetic freak with tons of muscle.

[@RjTheTrigun]
