How do you know when you are entirely in too good shape?

You’ve driven yourself batty by thinking about it so much you’ve lost perspective and the right form is looking wrong to you when it’s not wrong.

“when you are entirely in too good shape” is correct form.

Consider:

He got out of the car.

He got in the car.

“out of” is the pattern, and “in” does not go with “of” that way.

Thank you. At least I did it right.

When your refused open heart surgery for being to fit.

I would just say, “how do you know when you’re in good shape?” Or, does that have a different meaning than what you’re going for?

It’s a different meaning. These guys were dancing on a treadmill!

I think it’s “entirely” and “too good” together are making it look like something isn’t right. Can you leave “entirely” out?

Ohh JLeslie just asked that!! I realized it now! Yeah but I don’t want you to remove too..)

You get into the car, not in the car. One needs that preposition.

One cannot be in too good shape, that implies being in shape beyond a maximum fitness level.

In America we can either get into the car, or just get in the car.

And being in entirely too good shape is a matter of perspective. Of course, some people repeat the truism, “you can never be in too good shape”, but draft dodgers and people who speak with irony know that’s not always true.

I always thought the expression was “too good a shape.” Lol.

@JLeslie well, the “a” would have filled in for “of.” But that really doesn’t make sense either, although if I was speaking it that’s exactly how I would of a have said it.

I think it’s “too good of/a shape”... “of” vs. “a” we could argue…

You can say “you’re in good shape” just like you can say “this pie has good flavor” but you would never say “this pie has too good flavor” if English was your first language, right?

I think it’s the same. The pie has too good a flavor and you’re in too good of shape.

but I’m horrible about comma splices and misuse ellipsis, so maybe we should just wait on a proper editor ;)

Ok, what does it mean “too good of shape?” Or, “too good shape?”

Is it for emphasis like saying 110%? There’s no such thing as 110% sure the sun will rise tomorrow, the expression really should be 100%, but for emphasis people say 110%.

I never say too good a shape or too good shape, or whatever is correct regarding that expression. Is it just a dialect thing, and not good English to begin with?

Not good of English?
I would like to clarify that I was not attempting to write a correct sentence. I was attempting to underscore a video.

I was just curious if it’s considered standard English? I wasn’t being critical of it being used. I’m wondering what it means exactly, because I’m not sure I know. In my first answer near the top I ask about the meaning.
