Calm the fuck down, it's just a word, and it's entirely your fault for getting offended by it. You nigger faggot cunt retard.

[RompYa]

LOL so true... I ask all my mates how much they squat, they reply with "Nah bro I leg press, more isolation of the quads". I just LOL.

[MrSignified]

"Stupid" is just a word, which would have fit the situation perfectly (I get it: Rip doesn't like leg presses, neither do I). But by calling it "gay," it's just one more link associating a group of people with nothing but negativity and inferiority, which is a bullshit move. Just call the leg press stupid, ignorant, fucked up, dumb, crap, fucking shit, call it the worst fucking exercise on earth, but don't call it "only something niggers would do" and don't call it "gay".

My family laughed when I told them I would bulk up with Mega Muscle Method, but then they saw the results. Go google Mega Muscle Method to see their reaction. (It was epic!)

Very good, and I look at it this way; I don't assume that everyone who doesn't get offended at gay jokes and remarks and tells other people to "chill out" must be heterosexual. I told him to chill out and now I'm telling you the same, because getting your jockstrap in a twist over nothing only makes you look ridiculous. These days it's quite fashionable to get offended at anything that might be offensive to minorities, even when the offended person is not part of the minority himself.

from his back to the tip of his stomach is a longer distance than from the tip of his head to his waist. He basically has a reverse V shape. he looks fatter than homer simpson. also he stole his entire program off existing programs anyway. bruce lee would absolutely destroy him in a fight, and in strength. bodyweight guys have SO MUCH better builds than this stocky dwarf.

[EoN604]

It's also funny to see how hilarious his cult followers are. they get really butthurt when you question this guy. Look at him, he's just some american hillbilly fat guy who happens to be really strong. I would never want to have that sort of build, it looks terrible. it looks like a weird awkward stocky retard. Being strong and fat is not impressive. being strong and lean = impressive.

[joeminutes11]

Mark Rippetoe has nothing to do with bodybuilding. He's a strength trainer. He forgot more about training than you will ever learn. To describe one of the most respected trainers in the world in such a vile way just demonstrates your ignorance on the subject and as a human being in general. To call somebody that really shows what you think of yourself. You have no respect for yourself and thereby can never respect others.
