A great video about Lyin’ Kamala https://youtu.be/sVspeqNnoWM?si=2LsHZWZmqt_f6cTL

Smokey, when has it ever been indicated that the majority was right about anything? I would imagine the free weight supremacy concept stems from...

I don't know thats why I was bringing it up.

No, I was not saying that at all. I know you have/were. It was a reference to some of your critics who claim you have “never made anyone strong”. ...

Not sure what the first line means? And he actually eats mostly beef/pork from what I have read so your “joke” is not that far off. I do...

I would be willing to bet Chase could add 5lbs to his OHP max, be it strict or “standing bench” as some like to say, with a little intelligently...

Squats are great for those who like squats. I use the leg press and focus on intensity of effort.

Rip keeps a leg press at WFAC to begin training those who are unable to barbell squat in their current state. “It has a place in every gym who...

Are you an SSC Jason? It’s all there, black and white, clear as crystal. Do you really think it’s merely a coincidence that Rip keeps a leg...

Yes, because there is a much greater skill component to a barbell squat than a leg press. Why is that so difficult to understand Jason?

One rep max? For what? Leg press competitions? Hard to compare different machines anyways. And what exactly is “real life”. I thought strength was...

Well yes your squat was down, because you had not done squats in 6 weeks.

No idea as I am strictly a machine lifter.

That rarely gets explored so may be difficult to find. Typically leg press/chest press/pulldown or row. Once to twice a week.

Well Smokey, they do call it a smith MACHINE.

Haven't found that to be true, the leg press can develop tremendous improvements in strength.

I appreciate your thoughts Alex.

I do not agree that the 2 factor model is obsolete, as I am a firm believer in it. You misunderstood my response. Workouts are for the purpose of...

An interest in using it as a supplement to the big barbell lifts. I realize this concept may be a bit abstract for some on this forum.

Im not sure what you’re arguing here? Yes, you can be injured doing lots of things. I was discussing the use of a H.I.T style machine based...

Typing is not exercise Jason. Remember, strength is general. If I make my muscles stronger, they will be stronger for whatever I use them...

In the sense that a great surfer wont be a great ice skater, and vice versa, even though both skills require tremendous balance, it is. Yes...

Balance is skill specific. Why let my ability to balance inhibit the intensity I am able to perform the exercise with.

In that they strip away the skill component. Heavy squatting does take big strength, but also requires skill. A big bench is a great display of...

I didn't say barbell’s cause them significantly, but even Rip says you will get your numbers up till at some point you get hurt. Yes you...
