If you don't understand how saying what someone is doing is wrong (when they are getting the results they want and are HAPPY, emphasized happy cause that's the ultimate goal) and the SHOULD do this is a text book judgemental statement, I don't know what else to tell ya.You can't say that you "Should" do one thing and then say your aren't being judgemental. Those are kinda the same thing.
How? I'm not judging anyone, what I'm saying is if being healthy and fit is your goal then its necessary to push yourself
I feel as though people are just being argumentative just out of boredom or something, this *kitten* is pretty basic stuff
The first time working out you had to push yourself as time went on you didn't remain stagnant and do the same routine with the same intensity you pushed more and more... so how does me saying push yourself come off so negatively lol *kitten* meant to be inspiring but people are getting offended and feeling attacked and its seemingly a insecurity thing or something
I never said what others is doing is wrong, please show me where that was said or implied... *kitten* you people are dense
I simply said that there comes a time we need to shake things up and do a little more, stop doing the same routine over and over again.
You have a pretty good physique, did you get that by lifting the same weight with the same intensity for years and years? Or did you over time increase weight? Increase intensity, switch up the routine, use multiple rep ranges and methods? Did you not push yourself?
So idk wtf the issue is with what i said
You said cheating yourself. Cheating is a negative term that implies "wrong". We aren't dense just because you apparently don't understand the words you typed. It may sound fine in your head, but when 100 people are telling you it seemed negative, why not just listen? Man up as they say.
But if you arent pushing yourself you are cheating yourself.
And that's where you are wrong and judgemental. Sorry dude.
Blanket statements rarely hold true in fitness.

OP, this is a sincere question--how much time have you spent reading the MFP forums and understanding the general vibe/cultural around here? It does not seem as if you have been at it that long and I think that was likely a big reason why your thread has not gone over well. If you would have spent more time learning about the people on the boards, not necessarily individually but as a group, you would have had a better idea of your audience and how to approach a topic. You sound really excited and into what you are talking about, which is great, but in general it is best to be a bit of a known poster before trying to "be inspiring." The odds are it would just come off better. Especially if your wording wasn't so absolute.
How is that my problem though? This is a board to help people so when i give an example and make an overall statement to get people to see things differently why should i be subjected to negativity because I'm "new" how does the info change?
My intentions weren't to be absolute, or to be judgmental, or come off as this is the only way, nothing i wrote should have eluded to that at all and I'm confused to how people saw it that way, maybe i could have worded it differently but i feel as though the message was pretty clear, hey lets break our routines a little, and push a little harder.. i used hiit as an example and people took that and ran with it largely due to insecurity. Hiit was just an example to support the overal message of pushing ourselves a little
But that message is now lost in a sea of insecurity and negativity
It's your problem because you didn't take time to know/learn your audience. Surely your business education required you to take at least one communication class. Knowing your audience, whether it is reading or listening to you, is imperative for good communication. If you choose not to do so, your message is sure to become obscured. Continuing to insult your audience by describing it as insecure and negative only makes you fail harder. THAT is how it is your problem.17 -

I hear he is pretty good with the shakeweight... If ya know what I'm saying.
I use that only on one side to correct hypertrophy imbalances between the elbow and wrist that have seemingly gotten worse since getting married.
I really have no idea what could have caused it.

If he doesn't understand how a statement that people "should" do something has implicit judgment woven into it, then you're never going to convince him that anything he said was poorly worded, poorly framed and generally just ... poor.
I don't think he has the critical reading skills he claimed. Or at least, they do not apply to his own writing.11 -

But if you arent pushing yourself you are cheating yourself, you know this as well as i do lets stop being politically correct and just be real, at no point do you go in the gym and say I'm gonna do worse than yesterday lol cmon man this is ridiculous, no we don't all have the same goals but with being fit how can you not strive to push just a little each day, how can you do the same thing over and over again and expect to get better? This makes no sense[/quote]
It will help you in business and in life to realise that NOT EVERYONE'S GOALS AND MOTIVATIONS ARE THE SAME.
Get it through your thick head.
For some people getting out there and doing what they did yesterday IS THE FRIGGING GOAL. And a frigging victory.
By continuing to say that it isn't you are insulting them.
When you insult them they tell you you're an *kitten*.

Oh I know. I do have to say that I'm impressed that Donald Trump has time to be posting here on MFP when he still trying to fill his cabinet.10 -

Should is suggestive when read in context, when taken out of context as it has and married with negative biased and preconceived notions then it is viewed as judgmental.
When read within context and within the intent of the entire thought it is suggestive, one word doesn't make something judgmental its the context in which the reader perceives that word that does that ...

You should stop posting.
I don't mean that to be judgmental and so if you don't like it you're probably just perceiving it that way.28 -
