there was a goose here who paid 300 or 700 for a rippetoe "seminar", so i guess tom cand make a lot of money with his squat tricks
Yes, you're right, they shouldn't pay experienced trainer 500$ if they can afford it, they should listen to gym broscientists telling them "not to go bellow parallel". Maybe you haven't noticed, but some people have a degree, respectable job and actually can fucking afford to pay up to 1000$ to teach them how to train because if they invested that time to figure it out by themselves they would loose MORE money because 1 hour of their work is more valuable than 1 hour of Rippetoes. This is how it works my dear, you don't have to clean your house yourself - you pay someone to do it.
