"Coop, do you even lift?" I've read this online 1,000x. When I first started creating content, the comments really bothered me. And then I asked myself: Why am I training? Who is my true audience? I live for them.

Surprise: Many powerlifters look like a bit athletic Joes while being able to move huge amounts of weight If someone doesn’t understand that, they clearly have never lifted weights

@DavidCorsain I also think the internet can create unrealistic expectations about size due to varying genetics and enhancement protocols. Comparison will always steal your joy.

Everyone expects you be super jacked as most Dads today are shooting test and everyone is on peptides. You look athletic and clearly have solid lifts. Let’s see how healthy those guys are in their 60s. Keep after it Coop. Respect

The fitness social media space is as toxic as most social media spaces. I can’t imagine what it’s like for a beginner trying to learn what to do in this environment. Train and diet the way you enjoy and forget the rest.

Cooper, it’s obvious that you are very strong. Please don’t ever start using TRT to look the way the gym community wants you to look. I wish this community wasn’t so toxic sometimes.

Coop is the ultimate sleeper build. Homie lifts for pure strength and fear. Coop strong AF, physical and mentally. Be like Coop.

Don’t listen to the haters Coop. I love your content and know from years in the gym looks are deceiving. This is a feature not a bug!

“You don’t look like you lift.” Meaning: “I’m used to seeing people on steroids all the time that I think you can achieve that normally. If you don’t look like you’re on steroids, you don’t lift.”

Well yea bro cause you aren’t on roids. Peoples perception of what a lifter looks like is all warped because of all the juice heads they see online. Keep up the hard work.

maybe Because he is a powerlifter. Powerlifter training is more about training firing of neurons than building up muscles fibers size and quantity.

sanie☹️❤️‍🩹🫳🏻 ⛰️ i really worked hard. for 8 years, i tried a lot of things, made an effort, and i really did do a lot. i tried various things too, sometimes i tried things that were really excessive, and i also tried toning things down. looking at it now, honestly, there are things that make me think, “why did i go that far?” but somehow, i’m not embarrassed by them. because even back then, i really did my best… i really did my best. so i can’t feel ashamed of myself back then or say harsh/unkind things to myself back then. because back then, i was a kid who really wanted to succeed and worked hard however i could. i think there were a lot of things i was inexperienced in, a lot of ways i was young, and my way of thinking itself probably wasn’t mature either. but because i know that the me from back then really did his best, i feel like i don’t want to say things to him (my past self) that i’d feel sorry about? of course, there are things i feel could’ve been better. of course, if i looked at it from a third-person perspective, i think i might wonder, “why is he working this hard? why does he have to go this far? why is he doing that much?” but i feel like i don’t want to say those kinds of things to myself? because back then, i really worked myself to death. and i think that’s why the me i am now can exist. because i tried all sorts of things, i built up this ‘big data,’ so i know what i should do and what i shouldn’t do. no one is perfect, so by condensing all of those things together, the conclusion is that the me i am today exists. i think that’s really nice. everyone is immature, after all. video cr. goguma710
