QUOTE OF THE DAY 28TH FEBRUARY 2009

I was driving home the other night, listening to the radio, and the guy filling in for Art Bell on Coast to Coast AM was talking to some other guy about Nazis, UFOs, the Kennedy Assassination, time travel, and George Bush, and how it all relates to OneWorldGovernment.

This, of course, made me think about barbell training...

QUOTE OF THE DAY 27TH FEBRUARY 2009

There is simply no other exercise, and certainly no machine, that produces the level of central nervous system activity, improved balance and coordination, skeletal loading and bone density enhancement, muscular stimulation and growth, connective tissue stress and strength, psychological demand and toughness, and overall systemic conditioning than the correctly performed full squat.

QUOTE OF THE DAY 26TH FEBRUARY 2009

On a respectable number of pull-ups:

Well, I can do 16, and I'm 51 and I weigh 210.

So you have to beat me or you're a pussy.

And if you do beat me, you're probably using drugs.

QUOTE OF THE DAY 25TH FEBRUARY 2009

On the ethics of meat eating:

Okay, have you ever been around chickens? They are stupid, uncooperative, inconvenient, ill-tempered creatures. They get what they deserve. Fuck chickens.

QUOTE OF THE DAY 24TH FEBRUARY 2009

Most people lift shit wrong all the time.
We need to learn to do it right. But we also need to come to the realization that if we do it wrong, it's not going to kill us

QUOTE OF THE DAY 23RD FEBRUARY 2009

The less strength you have , the more important it is to have more

QUOTE OF THE DAY 22ND FEBRUARY 2009

If you had to choose between wearing no shoes or running shoes to lift in which would you pick?"

Rip's response:

"That is like asking me to choose between stabbing myself in the eye with a fork or burning the roof of my mouth with extremely hot pizza. Can't we just avoid both?"

QUOTE OF THE DAY 21ST FEBRUARY 2009

On response to a guy who had some life problems lately and afraid of sounding like a "pussy":

You don't sound like a pussy at all. You sound like a normal human being, just like me, who thankfully has a barbell to keep him sane when things get shitty...and realize that one workout out of thousands does not affect your overall progress.

Training is a process, not the events of one day

QUOTE OF THE DAY 20TH FEBRUARY 2009

In response to a question regarding ho to safely dump a back squat

" In my gym, you get spotters, you safely dump it backwards loaded with the bumper plates, or you learn how to accurately judge your ability.

If you dump the bar on rails or pins or anything else in here, I will beat the cum out of you with the remnants of the bar."

QUOTE OF THE DAY 19TH FEBRUARY 2009

"Poor form in the gym is caused by insufficient yelling. "
