inWhy I ignore the 'elbows tight' cue during rows, and it works for me.
At my local gym, the trainers always drilled 'elbows in' during bent-over rows, but I noticed the bodybuilders often let them drift out. It made me wonder if we're overcomplicating basic movements for no reason. Like, how much difference does a few inches really make when you're already moving weight? Sure, form matters to prevent injury, but sometimes these cues feel more like dogma than practical advice. Honestly, if flaring your elbows gets you better back engagement, maybe the rule isn't as universal as we're told.

inHonestly, I witnessed a hiker cutting switchbacks on a rocky ascent yesterday and it's been on my mind. Is there ever a valid reason to leave the trail, or should we always stick to it to prevent erosion?
Yeah that's totally fine, minimal impact for a good cause. Just gotta watch your step so you don't crush another nest on your way over, lol.
