Mark Rippetoe critiques Arnold's squat

[Dr Dutch]

I feel it much better in the quads after some pre-exhaust extensions. Doesn't have to be Mentzer style..

i just dont understand how you could feel it anywhere but the quads

of course you need to make an effort to keep the back tight but....


never liked leg extensions or leg presses


i like hack squats but never do them

You want to learn to train with proper technique, you go to a strength coach. Period.

strip down their fatty bodies and this is how their legs look

im sure they care what they look like in a thong

Arnold Schwarzenegger is a 7x Mr Olympia, movie star, and former governor of California.  He also has one of the best physiques of all time.

what does Mark Rippetoe have on him?

[Dreadlifter]

Guy speaks some sense

"I don't go to titty bars much anymore. They have never really appealed to me. Like going into an expensive restaurant, reading the menu for 2 hours, drinking a little, then getting up and leaving without having had anything to eat but paying the bill anyway."

How is Arnold going to build a championship physique when he squats like that?

Oh wait, that was 40 plus years ago and he was Mr Olympia 7 times......oops

F**k Arnold, how can I build a blocky disgusting powerlifter physique guaranteed to repel the opposite sex?  Maybe Mark Rippedballs will create another video for me.

powerlifting squats are mostly about reducing range of motion to be able to lift more weight

while mark acknowledges that adjustments in power lifting he does not endorse them he teaches the squat not a PL squat or 'BB squat'

Dr. Fred Hatfield >>>>>>>> Mark Rippedtoe.

Finding what works for you > all the guru knowledge in the World.

Glenn Pedley teaches a different style than Rippetoe and has had more actual coaching success than Rippetoe, and I'm sure you can find any number of respected strength coaches that teach different than the both of them.

To para-phrase multi-time U.S. Olympic Weightlifting coach Jim Schmitz, "You try to teach them the form you want, but in the end, you go back to what fits the lifter best".

Rippetoe's a good coach, but his main appeal is to new lifters that never grew up on Bill Starr, etc...... He also appeals to guys that that need a tough daddy or uncle image to look up. They enjoy that gruff "do as I say" type coaching.

Seriously, look at his board, it's a bunch of guys having races to 2 plate x side bench presses and 3 plate squats.

If he dies will it be "RIP Rip"?

I'd like to see Arnie critique Rippetoes physique

Here is King Rippetoes greatest performance on video:

Rippetoe misleads people.  Newbies want to look lean and fit like this:


but are instead pushed down a different path of squats and bulking so they can look like they do not work out (just like Rippetoe):

rippetoe is nothing for a bodybuilder,,for a powerlifter maybe,,,,but those low volume squad and dead meat potatoes,,,what the fuck will that do for delts or biceps?  it will get you big thick and bloofy,,drinking gallons of milk.  i have my best gains and i dont touch a deadlift or squat because of my torn labrum,,and i can train with high volume injury free and i work my muscles and they grow big and full and lean.  you dont need dante and rippetoe heavy slag iron dragging sleds flipping tires squat squat squat deadlit deadlift,,,to look good as a bodybuilder,,,if you want to be as strong as an ox and look like a bloofy fat ox then yeah, but to look good and full and lean,,,you dont need that shit,,,and its an injury waiting to happen i know

[hardgainerj]

you dont need that shit,,,and its an injury waiting to happen i know

You clowns are comparing apples to oranges. You guys will argue anything.....even if it has nothing to do with one another, geez.

If you want to lift the maximum weight possible in the gym and have a garbage physique listen to Rippetoe!
If you want to look like a bodybuilder and have a great physique listen to Arnold!
I hope this helps!

[Bad Boy Dazza]

It can't be denied that nothing tests your mettle like a squat.

I'm still waiting on Arnold's drug regimen & a copy of his genes.

Why on a board that is littered with posts of "all drugs" and "all genetics" do people still think that squatting as biomechanics intended will be the sole reason they become fat or blocky-waisted or remain skinny?

I hope suckmymuscle snaps your pets in half.

front squat ass to grass works well for b.b. quads

[Rhino]

btw front squat helps prevent bloofy dufus but
