Would you follow this man's fitness advice?

[Coach is Back!]

Wrong

Really gimmick? Are you serious or just trolling

[FREAKgeek]

Yeah okay

Cause you're gonna look like pudzianowski from the right training

[Jim Dandy]

Cause you're gonna look like pudzianowski from the right training

That's the idea. No?

[Coach is Back!]

That's the idea. No?

No

Define "fitness"

[Jim Dandy]

No

Perhaps for some, who care little for aesthetics, you may be right. Personally, I believe bodybuilding is about getting big and ripped. Not big and fat

Everyone has their own definition of fitness and I can respect that. Some of the best and brightest people I personally know that are true experts in the fitness world don't look like bodybuilders and some don't even look like they train but the knowledge they have and the advice they give I consider as gold. A good friend (and business mentor) of mine received the IDEA Jack Lalanne fitness award and is the lead training advisor for UnderArmour and took runner up to last seasons "Strong" isn't a big guy but one of the best fitness entrepreneurs and smartest people I know. He's my "go to" person, bodybuilding aside.

Advocating a gallon of milk a day and a 6000 calorie diet is just bonkers.

This. All natties will fail with that.

The way I see it, if his own program doesn't work on himself, why would anyone buy his book?

[Tennisballz]

I agree with this.  Additionally, these workout programs that have you doing heavy squats, deadlifts and bench presses can be fun and will get you strong...but...they are a recipe for fried joints and pain as you get older.  Focusing on generalized strength using body weight exercises and lower/moderate weight with free weights is probably the best way to go for longevity and health.  Too many guys living this gladiator/beast/bro science life style as if deadlifting 500 pounds is going to mean anything to anyone.  Unless you are an athlete that is pursuing a lucrative contract or a con artist making your money in the fitness industry, it's completely useless.  And by the way, Rich piana doesn't even squat or deadlift ever and he's very successful in the fitness industry so that proves it isn't even necessary.

Perhaps Jim dandy should post a pic

I'm guessing he won't

[kreator]

you can look good even with a shitty technique at performing lifts but with big weights you'll eventually end up hurting yourself ...coaching a technique suitable for your mobility patterns and eventually making someone progress at their lifts etc is something else and 99% of jacked fitness gurus and instagram whores don't know shit when it comes to healthy and safe training ...99% of the population can't even walk properly yet alone perform basic lifts, good coaches are rare, but social media ftness ''experts'' are everywhere ...they are really the worst of the fitness industry

[falco]

Those who can't play, teach.

[dj181]

Bullshit

Bullshit

Just because you look like an Instagram model doesn't mean you know how to train or give advise to ANYONE

Arthur Jones used to say "go and find the biggest bodybuilder in your gym and ask him how to build big muscles, and then do exactly the opposite of what he says"

[ratherbebig]

so the logic here is that someone who doesnt look like he train doesnt know what he's talking about and someone with a lot of muscle do.

the problem with that is that the one with a lot of muscle is probably genetically gifted and/or juiced.

clearly there need to be other ways to figure out ones expertise than just by appearance.

as far as actual tecnique goes, appearance means nothing as we can see from strength coaches, wrestling coaches, boxing coaches, powerlift coaches etc from all around the world.

[Henda]

His routine itself is solid for a beginner to bring his overall strength up quickly before switching to a more balanced routine but I'd ignore his diet advice and just eat slight over maintenance and not turn into a fat pile of shit like most his clients

[Hulkotron]

He looks like an LGBTQ to me.

[bigmc]

im betting jim dandy looks like shit

[Jim Dandy]

Arthur Jones used to say "go and find the biggest bodybuilder in your gym and ask him how to build big muscles, and then do exactly the opposite of what he says"

Yeah that makes a lot of sense. Maybe that's why Arthur Jones looked like shit and his boy got put out of Bodybuilding by Arnold.

Still no pic of the coward Jim Donny

Comparing a gymnastic coach to a lifting coach is truly apples to oranges. I would expect a lifting coach to be a lifter. Rippletoe is 61 years old. He is a strength coach. Look at how many fat slobs are very strong. I look at fitness as having a little of everything. Cardio fitness, anaerobic fitness, low rep strength, muscular endurance, and power. Naturally when you train for all you end up not specializing.

Most who lift want to look good. Many are misguided thinking they will become very muscular on starting strength and a gallon  of milk a day. End up looking like Baby Huey with 0 chance of getting laid. Remember, most lift because they want to look good. Stop making excuses for ripptoe.

He is out of severely out of shape by my standards. He does get a pass for being 61. Don't show me a picture of a 60 something fool on steroids. Most of get biggers will look like crap at 50 never mind 61.  Don't know too much about him but I wouldn't be surprised if he could out power lift 90% of get big members.

[bigmc]

It's amusing that Donny keeps coming back

Might prove us all wrong this time

And post a pic pricing he has seen the inside of a gym

What that boils down to is that in your mind anybody who is 50 or older and in shape is on drugs. Kind of hard to engage this topic when you tout the gh15 party line. I will leave you with this: rippetoe looks like shit, his followers look like shit,  and there is no deadlift platform set up in the middle of the nightclub.
