Ok, maybe I am just not experienced enough, but a big red flag went up when I saw this guy in the gym.
He had to be about 60 years old with 3 13-14yr old boys lifting. All 3 had lifting belts around their torso for every workout. He had them all swinging barbells with 10lb plates for what looked to be a curl. These kids were using their whole body to get the weight up, none of them were big kids, and one was already hunched over with terrible posture. He then has them do dumbbell rows again with belts on and throwing every bit of momentum to try and get heavy dumbbells up. I think this is not safe at all, and I really wanted to say something but I didn't.
He also had them trying to bench weight they should never be near, and he would basically do the work for them by pulling it up every time.
Am I wrong for being concerned?
