  • This guy is epic

  • Looking at Rippetoe's qualifications I'd say follow his advice to a T and you'll be safer, stronger and healthier than you'd be listening to most anyone else.

  • @mrceebees14 ok, but how?

  • @bbbelse Fixes the hips big time, provided you don't have any serious knee issues. Most of the people I work with don't, including your every day general population person.

  • @mrceebees14 you mean squating unilateraly?

  • @xscvmuscle He looks better than you will after 50

  • @xscvmuscle this guy is probably strong as shit

  • If he's so good why does he look so out of shape?

  • where is part 2??

  • why didnt he put the force vectors on the diagram and use equilibrium analysis to find the equations describing the situation ?

  • @adimare0 are you serious??? why don't you check out the defensive / offensive lines in american football for a start? They need to generate the most power they can explosively and they know they can do this from a wide stance. Wrestling and sumo are other sports that need explosive, well-balanced and powerful leverage and do this from a solid wide stance platform - sort your technical understanding out before you make ill-informed comments like that.
