Mark Rippetoe is Full of Shit

Mountain | reviews | videos | photos

1. Good talk tactical Ted
2. barbells are the only way to go
3. I'm just reading the book now, got Practical Programming coming in the mail. It is a very dense book, Mark clearly knows a lot about bio-mechanics.
4. good video
5. +James Yeager: I'm confused. I started Olympic lifting in 1978. The two contested lifts are the snatch and the clean and jerk. On the other hand, powerlifting is a younger sport and has three contested lifts: bench press, squat, and deadlift. I recommend you subscribe to the "Hookgrip" (no affiliation) channel if you want to see examples of Olympic weightlifting.
   
   The actual names of the sports are backwards in my opinion. Olympic lifters employ pure power to pull and then push significant weights over their heads and so should be called "powerlifters." Powerlifters lift much heavier weights at a much slower pace and should be called "weight lifters." Unfortunately the names are set in stone.
6. You look like you're full of shit you bald-headed freak. You're just jealous of his knowledge and strength accomplishments and the fact that he counts among his friends legends in the world of powerlifting etc etc
7. CLICKBAIT MAESTRO. WELL PLAYED 10/10, WOULD CLICK AGAIN
8. "worth talking shit about" Love that. Hating someone gives them power and adds to their credibility.
9. Hey James, can you give us some stats on your lifting? Your squat, press and deadlift 1 rep maxes for example?
10. Lol Mark can still lift more than i can at double my age.
11. Orange dick hahahaa will remember that to adress assholes. Great video! definetely picking up a copy of SS third edition.
12. 15:15 "orange dick" ha
13. i'm beginning to see the valid reasons behind this tactical response 'american' attitude. because if every other nutter is packing, you have to be better than them. i dont agree with how things have ended up vis a vis gun control in america, but unfortunately pandora is well out of that box and reasonable people need to learn how to use guns. its really sad.
14. Most folks don't like rippetoe because of his no bullshit mentality. He's a great coach
15. I thought you'd destroy Rippetoe but you gave more confidence to follow his instructions
16. I'm a fan of Coach Rippetoe also, so when I saw your headline I was thinking, "Uh oh!" But after watching your video, I was very impressed by your humility and support of him. Thanks!
17. This is refreshing and learned a lot from your commentary. The title threw me off which intrigued me to watch.
18. Moment-arm and mechanics are all well explained in the book.
19. Lol. The end of your video is terrible. If you want people to take you serious, don't end it with such immaturity.
