Mark Rippetoe: Barbell Positioning

[simpllyhuge]

ripp isn't fat, he looks pretty diesel with about 10 pounds of fat. Ive seen him squat 405 for reps recently. I have also seen him do like 12 chins .

lol. I guess Arnold doesn't know anything about lifting either because he's fat now.

this guy's an idiot he's not an expert he should be in good shape if he is mr weightlifter all i see is a fatso

@thugmelvin How is that in the least important? Thats like saying a doctor has to have cancer to know about cancer?

He knows the human body well, geometry, anatomy, and hes aged and has a lot of experience in this area.

@thugmelvin

dude, every athlete right now who has any good sense in him will go through a Rippetoe program variation at least once in his Strength Program. His fundamentals are the base for future development in any form of strength training.

@thugmelvin lol im not a rippetoe fan, mainly because some jackass reads a book of his and comes up to me at the gym telling me how to lift because hes now an expert. not to mention he makes rocket science out of fucking lifting. thats why i prefer wendler over anyone, simple and to the point. but lots of powerlifters are "fat" and rippetoe has a pretty decorated lifting background
