Tell that to the pipe spraying steam across the shop floor.

Ever try car wax on a deep scratch?

I thought that too... until the same thing happened to me.

My living room carpet has a stain shaped like Australia. Only spotted it after shoving the sofa three inches left. @nora_torres nailed it with that autopilot blindness thing. Now I'm side-eyeing every unchanged corner. My own home feels like a weird museum of neglect. Thanks for the paranoid redesign, I guess.

Locking out the elbows isn't just for judges; it teaches your body to fully stabilize the weight overhead. Without that final extension, you might be cheating yourself out of crucial tendon and ligament strength that prevents injuries down the line. Strongmen can get away with partials because they're freaks of nature, but for most lifters, strict form builds a safer foundation.
