>see muscular looking man deadlifting 3 plates >straps >lots of noise >back arched and primed to shoot a vertebrae across the gym is it rude for me to help his form and save him a trip to the hospital?

No, just be polite about it. Compliment him on something and then say what you have to say.

and say your friend fucked up his back that way so it doesn't look like you're being a know-it-all

Today I saw some redhead guy who looked like he was getting a feel for barbell lifts. He was doing squats, OHP, deadlifts, bench, all with light weights. His back was rounding during his deadlift and I told him. He did like 2 more reps and left the gym. I hope he comes back ;_;

>>22004232 I only comment on form if someone looks weak or unconfident. the biggest guy I know pulls with a hilariously rounded back, but he does it like a beast.

Get to know him before you do anything like telling him his form is bad. Just say hi a couple times and then when you see him deadlifting once talk to him about it, don't just straight up tell him he's doing it wrong though. Also if he doesn't seem like he wants to talk then don't.

Go for it if you're noticeably bigger/stronger than him. Otherwise, why would he listen to you?

>>22004320 I'm pretty sure the population of snap city is wildly exaggerated. Anyway OP, what are your credentials for correcting him?
