Mark Rippetoe has a crazy Neanderthal/Cro-Magnon face going on. I wonder if I'll look like that after decades of squatting and heavy milk consumption.
To clarify I love coach Rip just thought I'd clear it all up as I was just as curious as the rest of the viewers....Ronan seemed like more of a myth then a real person lol.
I know the story of "Ronan" via Glenn Pendlay's forum.
Glenn says Ronan was a friend of his who attended Midwestern University, he was a road racer not a track cyclist and according to Glenn a "pretty nice guy"
He squatted for high frequency 20 rep and 30 rep sets but never maxed at more then 315 according to Glenn. He's currently married and has quit cycling and now does web design. Hope this helps, proof is in the link
So hes saying recreational cyclists arent athletes... no sh!t... whos claiming to be? same as dudes who play pickup games of basketball or volleyball, so what?
It's funny how there are so many people with things to say when they know nothing of who Rippetoe is, obviously,and that his knowledge of biomechanics runs and cycles laps around the average youtube commenter.
Rippetoe says great stuff most of the time. But then every once in a while he'll say something incredibly backward. What did three time Tour winner Greg Lemond say on training for road cycling? "Ride lots." He didn't say "get under a barbell" because that's fucking stupid. Track cycling is completely different, like comparing marathon runners to 100 yard dashers. Also, Ronan who?
@beabercj He's not saying that cyclists shouldn't "ride lots"... I think he's just making the point that an athlete's training will involve exercises other than just playing their sport in order to be the best. Your sport will still be the backbone of your training but you can usually make faster gains by targeting your weak links with other types of training. My cardiovascular conditioning and hill climbing power increased dramatically when I introduced kettlebells into my training, for example
@4MoreVideo Yeah I don't know what dudes talking about. I never heard Rip say that cyclists should, "get under a barbell" either. So he sure as shit ain't contradicting Lemond there...
@beabercj I think he's talking more along the lines of recreational cyclists and not professional cyclists. Riding "lots" for crit racing is stupid. Squats should be apart of the program. It's a fast twitch program in America.
just a fun fact. professional cyclist's hearts are on average 70% larger than the average heart. this is only achievable by cyclists, cross-country skiers and long distance runners. not athletes?
haha this guy hasn't got a clue. cyclists aren't athletes because they don't train... they are incredible athletes and there is such a variety from sprinters to lead outs to climers. look at the current uci road world champion thor hushovd + try to say he doesn't weight train...
then compares road cycling to track having no idea what he's talking about and making a fool of himself. riding 150km a day for 21 days compared to a 20 second sprint for some track events. different requirements

@WaaahWah because he would tell you "lower faggot" and held a scimitar above you head, so ou have to go ass to grass before he romves it and you can get up from your squat.
mark doesnt seem like a very friendly guy to me ...

Carrying a scimitar in the weight room is a good idea. That way, when someone does something stupid, you chop their ear off.
