[quote=Anonymous]I was not making fun of people for working vanity muscles--I do tricep work all the time. But it is accepted that they are vanity muscles, better trained when working a bigger muscle, like say, chest.

I am also not talking out my a$$ about squat standards. You carry your body weight around every day on your legs. You should be able to squat a good portion of this. This chart below is the universal standard.

Look, I am not gatekeeping, but the topic was lifting heavy--not getting started bat home. And I am not the only one posting.

There is absolute benefit to using lower eight dumbbells, but it is not gatekeeping to point out that you can't really lift heavy with anything less than 25-30 pound DBs.

Not sure why you are taking this so personally--there is nothing mocking or mean in any of my posts.
