New?! Bruv, this has been going on for a long-ass time. Where has this journalist been? Did they walk into a gym for the first time in their life yesterday?
I remember seeing people filming their reps and pretending to work out at least 15 years ago.
hahaha yeah vox is so antique with everything they cover
Filming for form check, fine.
Filming for the gram, not fine.
Filming yourself can make sense, though. I do gymnastics, and my coach outright encourages it, since you can see your mistakes better and remember what you were doing during your last visit.
I do make sure no one else is in the frame, though. And ask people whether I’m visible on their recording, to which the answer is always “no”.
I’m happy about it. I don’t go to the gym though. Anatoly makes some great content.
The other day some girlie had all her crap all spread out in the power rack at my small gym. She kept doing circuits on other machines and coming back to do hip thrusts with the weighted bar. So weird, I just wanted to do my dead lifts and that’s really the only area for it. I went and did the rest of my workout and she’s still over there a half hour later. I just went over there eventually and had to point my ass at her.
