That was a nice lift by BigJ, but, when you take all things into consideration, Squad still owned him big time. Squad did so much mental damage that BigJ became preoccupied with the thought of having to prove himself on GetBig. BigJ probably went out and purchased a brand new camcorder, probably had to bug one of his friends to come out with him to the gym that day just to record the lift and then had to go through the trouble of making a youtube profile to then post the video..SHIT!! That's a lot of work!
Squad singlehandedly consumed this man's mind for way too long. All that time in which BigJ was thinking about proving Squad wrong, he could have been doing productive things in his life or thinking about different things to better himself. While I applaud BigJ for making good on his claim, the problem here emerges when you take an owning for what it is worth. Squad doesn't get owned by being proved wrong, hell every naysayer predicts shit everyday to the which 99% of it might be false, but the essence of owning someone emerges when you can take an everyday nice guy like BigJ and become the center of his thoughts. Part of his motivation in doing those lifts, even if subconsciously, had to do with Squadfather's negative influence. Why claim that your entire mind and body even if for a few days were being tormented by Squad's influence? Squad's feeble words raced through BigJ's veins as he prepped himself up for that lift. Even if in the back of his head, Squad's influence was lingering and building up enough of a presence to drive a good man to have to prove himself. Imagine if things might have gone wrong, in other words, BigJ would have torn his rotator cuff or something to that end, can you imagine the months of mental anguish that this young man would have faced at the hands of the Squadfather?
Where as what happens now? Squad gives a weak apology and says, "Hey man, nice lift, you proved me wrong, but those were half-reps anyway. When will we see inclined reps with 315?"
A perpetual cycle where sooner or later the puppet participant (In this case BigJ) will lose,
"1"
P.S. I think BigJ's lift was a solid lift. The problem now remains when BigJ continues to play Squad's game..
