Stop Doing THIS!

What to study

Curiosity Gap

The title says stop, but never says what. The thumbnail shows Ryan mid-rep on a cable beside WORST, so lifters check whether they do this move. Nothing in the photo shows what's wrong with it, so you click to find out.

How the packaging works
Title

'Stop Doing THIS' names no topic, so it leans on regulars trusting Ryan's calls and hands the whole job of saying what 'this' is to the thumbnail.

Ryan's yelling, over-the-top strain is the playful energy regulars expect, the white WORST gives the verdict, and the cable handle tells lifters it's about an exercise.

Remix this

When you're calling out a common exercise or habit, show yourself doing it with a one-word verdict beside it. Keep the title a short command, and don't show the fault, so viewers have to check whether it's theirs.
