What is he talking of? While I'm thankful to Rippetoe of everything he's done for general strength training - all of his WL videos are just not making sense. Whatever the other WL coaches are saying is more in sync with what he says..importance of strength for eg. Everything else like a High Bar vs Low Bar, High Hip vs Low Hip is just some minor differences.
Former discus thrower here. The snatch and the clean we learned as mere by-products. In no way was it as complicated as learning the actual discus throw.
Oh yeah fs, you would've noticed significant gains with WL over SS! Like your squat would've been not 350 but 1000lbs!! You really made a wrong decision man...
I don't think they said it was easy or that they were amazing at it performing Olympic lifting. They said olympic lifting wasn't that technical compared to a low bar squat and that olympic lifting coaches are so set in their ways that they are reluctant to attempt to improve upon their coaching methods.
This is pretty cringy. The two sycophants are forcing their laughter and it’s embarrassing. Old pink man bitching about everything. Ironic he is bitching about olympic lifters not changing their methods.
I think the only proof we need to take Mark Rippetoe seriously is that he produces good lifters. He has been successful in introducing strength training to beginners, and maybe that success should carry over to training Olympic medalists.
@@DPB85 sure will D.P. 85. Only a genius like your self could choose a yahoo name like D.P. I wonder what you were up too. Maybe D.P. In 1985. I cracked the code
Sounds like Olympic weightlifting coaches are the Brooklyn hipsters of the weightlifting world. That’s a damn shame. I would love to see the United States win at that sport.
This video is as sad as Biden's debate performance last night. I feel bad for Rippetoe. People who care about him should get him to stop making these embarrassing videos.
Hampton Morris just set a senior world record for the first time in 59 years. Olivia Reeves is almost guaranteed to win a gold medal for the first time in 24 years. (And a very chance of breaking three world records) Jordan DelaCruz has a very good chance at silver or bronze. Mary Lappen has a decent shot at bronze. America has been getting there. The women's team is one of the best in the world. The Olympics in 2028 is in LA so expect more of the push to have better US lifters then.
@@michaels7159 selecting and training only elite athletes, filling them up with as much dope as humanly possible and training them to near death...Fricking genius!
@@LordoftheSith haha . Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but I hardly think the Bulgarian training method is "good coaching". That method to me is like teaching babies how to swim by throwing them in the deep end of the pool and letting them figure it out.
@@LordoftheSith You have mistaken someone with the same first name for me. Am I a failed weightlifter? I did masters weightlifting for a while, but the last two years I've deal with health issues and couldn't train. I plan on coming back. Interestingly, I don't see Rippetoe signing up to lift in masters competitions. You are correct that I am a lawyer. Not sure how that impacts anything. What I can say is that if I had a chance to actually question Rippetoe without him interrupting he would not hold up. For instance, he loves saying that US weightlifting coaches don't care about building strength in their lifters. I asked him to name one coach who doesn't care about strength. Crickets. Rippetoe has stated that his method of starting the first pull with the ass in the air is better. I asked him to provide evidence for this claim. Crickets. Rippetoe loves to talk and insult those who disagree with him because he has nothing to support any of the claims he has made about Olympic weightlifting. I have no doubt that Rippetoe doesn't like lawyers because any lawyer could kick his ass when questioned about his claims.
