Summed up perfectly, my man 👍🏼

Horse shit , jim wendlers 531 program is way better then any of this. Go ahead an stay stuck at the noviece level

I wonder how you reached those, elite for a natural lifter, numbers using a novice program, that's for, you know, novices.

@@suntzu7727 Mostly a variation of the texas method, but all programming responds to the same principles, whatever is an elite lifter, or a novice.

@@suntzu7727 I meant the principles in the book, not the startingh strenght program itself, but I have used it on clients, and it works wonders.

I’m assuming you mean you were using programming you learned from the gray book?

Those numbers 😮

Good to meet you.

Why ? It's these 2 Softies talking about why EVERYONE calls them on Their Garbage !!

Yeah , let these 2 Simps who look as though They've NEVER LIFTED A WEIGHT train you >_< sounds like some lame Ass Cult to me .

Nice! I have had a similar experience...

Thanks!

You are on social media literally right now as you’re reading my comment on social media site RU-vid.

@@RCSZach I know that. I don't look at RU-vid as social media even though it is. I talking Twitter, FB, Instagram and the like.

Thinking that the reason people lift in flat sole shoes or barefoot is because of the range of motion or distance the bar travels only reinforces the clear lack of comprehension

@@anthonycaruso6065 Why don't you enlighten us all then.

You will. I had to do the same thing and I deadlifted 345 for 3 sets of 5 last week (before my max was 350 for a 5rm)

Even with the thumb over bar grip? I've been dealing with a ton of tendinitis from low bar squats, but switched from thumb around to thumb over, and it seemed to have helped.. as far as deadlifting with heeled shoes.. I still can't wrap my head around that one, unless it's only for the hard sole and cost efficiency

That situation applies to any physical attribute that contributes to athleticism. Fast guys are at an advantage, flexible guys are at an advantage, and strong guys are at an advantage. For any of these folks, they'll have to focus on proper technical execution without relying on their attributes to progress to higher levels of proficiency in BJJ.

You hurt your back doing RDL’s. Why were you doing RDL’s? “Just do the program”.

People make this argument all the time, but fail to explain what an "optimal position for the second pull" is and also fail to demonstrate how starting with the hips higher and bar over mid-foot prevents someone from getting in to an "optimal position for the second pull."

@@startingstrength An optimal position for the second pull is roughly the same position that a person would be in if you told them to jump as high as they can from a standing position. There will obviously be variation from person to person, but the optimal position will very clearly be much closer to the more upright position we see in weightlifting than the bent over position in SS. As to the second point that people fail to demonstrate is that no one (reputable) is saying that you can’t get into the optimal position after starting with the hips higher, they’re saying that it’s far more consistent to start in the correct position than to move one’s hips into the correct position during the first pull. Since weightlifters are using submaximal loads, can you demonstrate that there’s an advantage for high-level weightlifters to start with a higher hip position? Are competitive weightlifters missing cleans & snatches due to fatigue in the hips and back? As I previously stated though, I’m not really sure why Rip takes such a hardline stance on this issue. Competitive weightlifters are no more part of SS’s demographic than powerlifters.

Generic Metal Bandwagon- Some Shitty Djent

@@arsentoplak2635 lmaooo

@@arsentoplak2635 you must be the decider of what the best metal music is.

Five finger death punch sound alike

The thumbnail says a lot. Those three guys are very strong but their chest development is terrible. The SS approach does not translate well to chest development. Muscle development is not the end all be all but if you are that strong your body looks strange if your chest lags that far behind the rest of your body. There are untrained individuals with good chest genetics who’s chest look more developed than these guys. Look at some pics of Louie Simmons together with some of the guys he trained. They are just as strong as the three in the thumbnail but they also have an amazing physique.

@@jalander8817 Every one of the guys Louie trained was also juiced to the gills

@@ragnakak perhaps so. However, that is really out of the scope of my comment as I also compared the chest development of the three in the thumbnail to that of untrained individuals.

Why? Because you hang out with ballerinas puking up their lunch? Dousch🤣.

It's not like they are flexing they are just sitting there.

@@ffbarnette what do you think of his forearms?? They look completely underdeveloped. This is an incomplete balance program if that’s happening.

@@sunnygirl9691 I think you’re used to looking at IG models on steroids with a pump and good lighting. I guarantee if you saw Ray irl you’d think he was huge.

@@HenchPig I understand what you’re saying. I can see they are bulky more so in the shoulders. However it just appears bulky, not muscular and fit/healthy. I see equally bulky women. I don’t assume they’re very muscular or strong.

They're not on gear (only TRT doses). And they don't focus much on upper body volume. No one experienced in physique building would consider a deadlift/powerclean the equivalent to a row. Unless you don't mind T-rex mode.

But you're weak so no one cares.
