Where I part ways with Rippetoe

[Salmon12]

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.

Fucking hell, you think being a big fat twat will get you respect on the streets, a guy like this will blow your head off for £500

He ought to shoot his dermatologist.

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.

[FREAKgeek]

If it's not hurting you, and you're improving, fuck the form nazis.

All the douches down my gym never train legs. Arms and chest, everyday.
