their prep was partially completed at MFP prior to their competitions in Rio.

Gotta love gimmicks. Ron must be really starting to hate this place because he keeps on letting them get approved
Is Ron even involved anymore in Getbig ?
Maybe he became one of those National Geografic Channel Alaska Timber dudes.... ???

Coach had come onto Rx Muscle a couple of months ago and started calling guys "gimmicks". He seems to have some kind of a mental tic.

Never called anyone a gimmick over there. Getbig is the king of gimmicks

Actually that's not true. I recommend you go back and review your posts there.

how did the olympics go?

I expect the training systems you implemented worked pretty good.

Rippetoe has made a bad name for himself in the S&C community. He's right up there with Poliquin.

Find your 1RM in your indicator lifts, pick your assistance lifts to reinforce the main the lift and build on percentages going up 5-10lbs per week on the main lifts.

For how long can anyone maintain 5-10 lb increases on a weekly basis?  One year?  Six months?

The average newbie will plateau out, within 3 months. More weight isn't better for bodybuilding. Then they quit, and whine about their genetics, instead of realizing that their training "methods" were stupid.

5-10 lbs on main lifts per week will only work if you start at a chicken weight. When it really counts there's no way to progress like this..... ::)

I still think one body part per week, per day is the best.

All this three time a week bull shit, even twice is not necessary at all.

so that would equal 5 libs per week for 10 years = 2600 libs minimum?
