I like to see big weights moved with full range of motion. I don't care if it looks good.

Full range of motion is different for everyone depending on their proportions though.

It also differs depending on what youre trying to do.......I.E. a guy doing static contractions to build strength is going to look much different than a guy trying to create tears by touching his chest on bench or dragging his ass on squats.

I don't care about how they look or what they are trying to do. Al Caslow 850 squat 525 bench and 640 deadlift at 165 bodyweight is impressive. Andy Haman benching 600 for four perfect reps is impressive.

Didn't say it wasn't. My point was what is a "perfect rep"? By using that term, then you are conceeding that you care how it looks.

LMAO, you really think that video by andy haman benching 600 is real?? Really? Atleast 4 of those plates are fake.. He has been offerd more than ten thousand dollars to bench 600lb in a contest but he refused to do it, dude is jacked but hes a fuking pussy, That was no more than 400lb for damn sure, and if you cant tell then you dont know shit about lifting weights..

Ask joeblow in here who compete in powerlifting meet and he''l tell you the weights are fake..

This is the vid you talking about..

If that was really 600lbs that bar would be damn near foldin like a cheap lawn chair... They really start to bend at that weight!

He ain't stronger than Johnnie Jackson!
 
back to the original (and resurrected) thread...
What impresses me the most is seeing someone who is Obviously New to fitness, come in and you see them struggle every day, you see that the average person would find it very difficult to stick with it, they are light years from most of the members, but over the course of weeks and months you see them, there is a point where you look over and you are just proud of them, they begin to transform, even if its not a huge change, you realise that person is Not giving up.
To me, that is both motivational and respectable. It humbles you, because most of us started somewhere, and we didnt give up.
Props to the newbs, and their undaunting determination.
