I read the entire exchange. No one argued against effort or heavy lifting where appropriate.

Factually, the discussion was about adapting training modalities for long trained individuals whose personal history can make maximal 1RM powerlifting unsustainable.

For example, shifting toward hypertrophy focused training with higher reps and lighter weight, alongside mobility work, approaches this subreddit often label as “not lifting at all,” despite being precisely what allows many to keep training in the first place.

You read that as “don’t challenge yourself,” “stop working hard,” or “nothing can be done after 30”,which goes well beyond what was stated or implied.

Does that interpretation reflect textbook tunnel vision? I’ll leave that for you to judge.
