Going for a jog in a bit to add value as part of my takeaway from the entire TRP experience. This post is just something's just been grinding my gears for a few days now

How can people be so stupid to deem lifting useless, or believe that lifting for weeks on end will not increase your strength? I just had this conversation with a guy on monday and it was the absolute most cancerous thing the way he kept denying that hitting the gym had a purpose.

In the end I gave up trying to qualify myself to him and he acted like a little bitch denying my handshake on the way out.

Remembering how he was so suspicous every time I linked workouts to real movements (i.e my shoulder oriented crawls got much more comfortable to do after I began working on shoulders regularly) still really grinds my gears.

How do you even reframe out of people who flagrantly try to deny reality? Fucking stupidity gets to the point of emulating gaslighting, I swear.
