The new hate piece

[Goatamon]

Well, that was an interesting read. I wouldn't have believed that a grown man would write stuff like that.

I read parts of it because I am a good skeptic and came across this: http://www.lift-run-bang.com/2013/08...ining-and.html

He has some videos of some other guys that use that craaazy Rippetoe squat technique. I hope they learn a better way and finally get stronger some day. ; )

I don't understand why people can't write articles about how much they disagree with your opinions on strength training without being hateful cunts about it.

Because the higher a person rises, the larger a target that person presents for the selfish and incompetent. The world has been, is now, and will always be filled with cunts who, in order to make themselves appear better by comparison, choose to (try to) tear others down rather than create and stand on their own accomplishments.

Really? That is what this thread is about? I took me a couple of minutes to find it, and I almost stopped reading after watching the first video. Jesus Fucking Christ! Speaking of 2 year olds, my 2 year old could probably produce a better video teaching the squat. Oh, and in case you don't believe me, here is another shitty video with a bunch of random shit in it that supposedly proves me right.

I don't 100% agree with Rip. From experience, I have learned some things I feel work better for me. If you are going to disagree with someone and call them out, come with something better than that piece of shit.

And Rip, sorry, you seem a little old for a Rookie....

I don't see it as anything other than a blatant attention grab that will convince only people who know nothing about the topic and spend no time analyzing it. Based on the overwhelming majority of the comments, it seems most readers realized this too.

It got posted to reddit in the /r/weightroom sub. Go there and give it a down vote. That may get it out of view.

Why does Pendlay act like a 15 year old girl?

[tertius]

Do you feel like you've made it into the big time, Rip? Now that you seem to be routinely getting sniped at by people trying to build their own brand?

[Joao.Silva]

Then in the comments he says your book is awesome. WTF?!?

[Mark Rippetoe]

More evidence that he's just trolling for view count.
