If lifting heavy weights for partial squats
were of any benefit for sports, Gold's Gym would be fielding
the majority of the 2008 Olympic team.

When asked if masturbation or sex hinders strength:


Yes, it does.

Never do either.

Ever.

Not if you want to be strong like bull.

Quote of the day 5th June

At the end of the first day of the BB Cert, Rip explains what we will be covering the next day.

Rip:

Now... we will be starting the day off watching a series of videos.

Yes, we will be viewing some damn good porn. (laughter)

No it's better than that....we'll be watching and critiquing the deadlift and power clean.


Thanks to Christin Farrington Street for this one

Quote of the day 4th June

From a CrossFit Barbell Cert held recently

Rip: Who in this group plays tennis?

(silence, no show of hands)

Rip: Nobody plays tennis?

(silence and shrugs)

Rip: Okay, any golfers n the group?

(silence, no show of hands)

Rip: Are you kidding me? Nobody in this fucking room plays either tennis or golf? Does anyone in the room do anything besides damn CrossFit?!!!

Quote of the day 3rd june

The full squat is a perfectly natural position for the leg to occupy.

That's why there's a joint in the middle of it, and why humans have been occupying this position, both unloaded and loaded, for millions of years.

Much longer, in fact, than quasi-intellectual morons have been telling us that it's "bad" for the knees

Quote of the day 2nd June

Guy 1: I was just wondering, are all the copies of [Starting Strength] missing pages 206-207, or is it just my copy?

Rip: Page numbers 206-207 were offensive to us, for numerological reasons we'd not care to discuss, so we omitted them and indexed around them.

No material is missing, just the 2 most horrible, sickening, disgusting, revolting, baby-killing, maggot-infested, sorry, rotten, substandard numbers in all of mathematics.

And good riddance, I say. Fuck 206 and 207, both of them.

Guy 2: Thank God someone has taken a stand on this.

Rip: Courage will always be the watchword of The Aasgaard Company.

You can't make people smarter.
You can expose them to information, but your responsibility stops there
