כמה ציטוטים שגרמו לי לצחוק:
"There is never an absolute answer to everything, except of course that you have to do your squats. "
"If every day of your life you are told by authority figures that the Earth is flat, you will be scared of falling off the edge whether you want to be or not. "
(A guy asks if hack squat is useful since his college does not have any squat racks only squat machines)
Rip: I recommend that you change colleges.
"You guys that worry about eating clean are actually merely bodybuilders looking for justification for your obsession with abs. You cannot get big and strong on 3000 kcal/day. And you cannot eat 7000/day and eat perfectly "clean"."
"On resting in between reps: It varies with the length of the set. 5s or fewer get a breath to reset. Longer sets might take 2 breaths. During the last few reps of a true 20RM squat, just do what Jesus tells you. "
"Trust me, if you do an honest 20 rep program, at some point Jesus will talk to you. On the last day of the program, he asked if he could work in. "
"There is no such thing as “firming and toning.” There is only stronger and weaker. "
"I don't read around the web much, because I'm old and busy, and just haven't got time. If I'm on the Internet, I'd rather be looking at porn. "
"Baby mammals drink milk, and you sir, are a baby mammal. "
"Girls don't like big pecs! they like money and "this"!(as he indicates with his hand mid thigh on the leg) "
"You must wear socks or workout pants on the Dead Lifts. We don't want your DNA on the barbell."
"Any idiot can get on a treadmill and watch TV and then take great pride in the fact they've 'exercized. "
"When a guy (Alex) asked what to do about his balls hurting after squats...
Alex, buddy, you're on your own here. Unless we get some other input. My balls haven't hurt since 1973, when I learned how to finish what I started. "
"There are few things graven in stone, except that you have to squat or you're a pussy. "
"There is no substitute for milk. Sorry. "
"Pierre, if you are eating 5500 calories a day, then I am a female kangaroo with a Sonic Drive-In franchise and a heroin habit. "
"On steroids:
There are no shortcuts. The fact that a shortcut is important to you means that you are a pussy. "
"On the possibility of a failure to deadlift resulting in stroke:
Deadlifts that are too heavy to pull generally don't take very long; the bar just kinda lays there. So if trying to move immovable objects was dangerous from the standpoint of stroke, the history of the human race would be littered with stupid people's corpses. "
"On not calling "The Press", "The Shoulder Press:"
We just call it the press, because how could you press without the shoulders? You can leg press... but that's gay. "
On drinking not 1, but 2 gallons of milk/day:
"But you would be shitting primarily cheese. Are you ready for this? "
"But then again, those who argue against squatting and deadlifting on the same day may just be pussies. "
"Now I also know that you're supposed to 'listen to your body', but my brain says 'don't be a pussy, and just lift the fucking weights', and that's just what I do. "
"Newb: Got any good ab exercises?
Rip: Got any better questions? "
"Go home and tell Mom that you're a man now. "
"If you want to look like some Abercrombie model, then find another program and enjoy your nice, easy training style. If you are serious about adding muscle to your frame, then get under the damn bar and make it happen. "
"The deadlift is more functional in that it’s very hard to imagine a more useful application of strength than picking heavy shit up off the ground. "
on U2:
"I don't like Bono. He needs to train more. "
"I recommend against a wooden squat rack, for much the same reason that I recommend against a wooden car. "
"You can't make people smarter. You can expose them to information, but your responsibility stops there. "
When asked if masturbation or sex hinders strength:
"Yes, it does. Never do either. Ever. Not if you want to be strong like bull. "
"It is not necessary to bump the shins with the bar, or dig a ditch in the shins on the way up. Good control of the weight is necessary to avoid this, and it should be avoided or sores get established on the shins that will be a problem for a long time - every time the trainee deadlifts he will break the sore open and make a big mess on his socks or worse, the bar"
