Throwing down weights is often seen as motivating and necessary for intense lifting… but Ric Drasin argues the opposite.

It’s pretty popular to see big time bodybuilders slamming down and throwing weights after an intense exercise or workout. It’s sort of a motto that says – “I just pushed myself beyond the limit and this rage inside of me can’t be held back even after I’m done lifting.” For motivational videos and hardcore gyms – this can be seen as a positive. It’s part of bodybuilding culture. But Ric Drasin doesn’t agree. He thinks it is unnecessary. That it’s a cry for attention. And he might not be wrong.

The best example he points to is Gold’s Gym – The Mecca of bodybuilding. At Gold’s you were thrown out of the gym if you threw down weight. And this is the place where Arnold Schwarzenegger and many other greats trained every day. Ultimately, this is all down to personal opinion – but watch Ric Drasin’s latest video and hear him out. Maybe he’ll change your mind.
