He gave another option to those who won’t get concerned if they spot someone lifting with bad form. “Option 2: Mind your own business and leave them alone.” However, Joey Swoll also revealed what’s “NEVER an option.” He said no one should film “them (new/inexperienced lifters) to post online to make fun of them.” According to Swoll, such practices are exploitative, and the victim often has no idea they are being filmed.
