Title: Where I part ways with Rippetoe
Post by: Salmon12 on November 03, 2016, 01:14:09 PM
I call bullshit on Rippetoe's assertion that the Powerlifting squat is the correct way to do it. I will posit here that the Olympic Squat is superior to the Powerlifting squat in many ways. Not the least of which is the potential for shoulder and back injury inherent in Rippetoe's method.

I couldn't give a rat's ass what I look like. I'm addicted to moving tonnage and getting my way in the workplace, on the streets and anywhere else I may go.

power style squats should only ever be done by competitive powerlifters, anyone training for any other reason be it to get bigger/fitter/generally stronger ect should use the full range olympic squat, preferably briefly paused at the bottom

How do you feel about farting as performance aid while squatting?

Right, you look like shit and want a way to justify it.

Like I said I couldn't give a rat's ass about how I look. I'm all about putting up numbers. I'll leave the preening and posing to the ladyboys like yourself.

Imagine jerking it to a Cox thread, peaking out the window if mom isn't around... and you see this entering your property...
