Why the fuck is this guy ever considered an authority on lifting? Where are his credentials and results
What does Roger Estep have to do with rippebreasts?
Is that what is all about, shills convincing people that rip ever looked like this?
Not Rippetoe, Rippetoe has always looked like shit.
If ripplebreasts actually looked like this, then he wouldn't give such dogshit body destroying advice on a daily basis
Looks like you never had an low bar squat induced elbow tendonitis
I can confirm that it hurts like frick. Once it goes away from rest it comes right back up when you load that +380lbs on your back. Cant squat cant bench cant ohp.
However its now almost completely healed, from the chin up protocol. here is more info
>https://startingstrength.com/training/elbow-tendonitis-how-it-occurs-and-what-to-do-about-it
Its similar to the Pin Firing of horses where you induce extra inflammation to the area of tendons so it can heal.
All in all Ripp is a true genius (in his field) and I couldn't appreciate more what he has done to the industry. Thank You.
God Bless Mark.
Oh hi mark
underrated
High volume chins would literally destroy your tendons if you have golfers elbow and anybody who had it knows what im talking about
wrong
lol
i did all that gay rehab stuff after having golfer elbow from going to heavy on pull ups
nothing helped but the mark rippetoe thing
i dont care about if he is right about anything else but working through your injury acutally works better than anything else i tried
wrong
>t. did it myself
You guys troll me to destroy whats left of my tendon, right?
I don't know why tf does Ripp keep suggesting chins every time someone brings up epicondylitis, when even on his own blog it's listed as a last resort method because of how painful it is.
One of Ripp's coaches lists bench pressing with a tempo of 3-1-2 as a good method to rehabilitate from golfer's/tennis elbow before trying chins, so of course go with that first.
no i swear it was the only thing that helped me
i tried to let it rest for almost a year, i tried rehab where you turn the a hammer in your hand (if you have golfer elbow you know what i mean) i streched daily i even bought some shity msm and glucosamine creme and pills
nothing worked
the pin firing method acutally worked
i dont know if it helps everybody or at every state of tendon pain
i had pain when i wasnt lifting even so
i got a another tendon injury on the other sides and this time i literally just worked through it
lowered weights and upped volume and it im good after a 3 months
resting will do nothing
rehab might work for some
I kinda believe this
>smart people can evaluate ideas based on following their logic
You are a midwit that doesn't know the meaning of moral highground and authority. There are hundreds of fitness gurus out there and we don't have the time to listen to all of them, compare them, try them all and discussing about it in Indian street food forums like four channel dot com; so looking at their bodies, which is the first credential any people giving fitness guidelines presents, is a perfect way to filter out potentially bad takes
Seems like this is easy to avoid by simply not low bar squatting
Yeah and STDs are easy to avoid by being a little virgin boy
Or you could high bar squat
There's no reason to low bar ever outside of powerlifting competition
So why low bar squat in a powerlifting competition? Because you can lift more? Then why not do it normally?
>Seems like this is easy to avoid by simply doing chins once or twice a week
fixed
I had elbow tendonitis and chin ups healed it, try it our speaking from experience, Rippetoe knows what he's talking about unlike subhuman morons here that bench 185 after five years of lifting.
Not sure if I believe the chinups but I can't definitely confirm that rest is 100% worthless and that the symptoms will always come back regardless of stretching and rehab unless you give up squatting heavy altogether. might actually try the chinups in that case.
>OMG the 66 year old man is carrying 25% bodyfat!!
It's higher than what's recommended for that age range by pretty much every source. If the lardass was in good shape he should be on the lower end.
Yikes
life starts at 25% bodyfat and +500kg PL total
everything else is just seethe and cope
simple as
dyels
>it's all muscle
>I dont care about what you think
>writes a blog post
He is way higher than 25%
>235 pounds
>25% bodyfat
>176 pounds of lean mass
Even Mark doesn't believe this.
Because back in the day the only other advice you could get online was from roiders on bro splits.
He's a meme that people took seriously.
>Why the frick is this guy ever considered an authority on lifting? Where are his credentials and results
You are a stupid person, but smart people can evaluate ideas based on following their logic and don't need "credentials" to determine whether or not to listen to someone.
>ideas
Its not about nuclear physics, its about lifting fricking metal
Why wont people listen to someone who actually had any results in the field
He is fat arrogant piece of horseshit which only value is acting as a meme, and even the meme became boring and washed up
What made young people follow him for any reason, is it psyop
> is it psyop
Yes, unironically. SS got pushed on misc as a meme. Then people took it seriously and the bros who realized it was fricking people up kept pushing it to discourage new lifters.
He's unironically correct here
He's like 60 yo in this picture
He's fat
Power gunt
and yet has a better physique than you lardopotamus
Prove it.
he's strong but he has a terrible physique
thats fine if you just wanna lift but the guy is fat as frick
His gut extends past his feet. That's not a good physique, even at 60.
Look I don't give a frick how strong you are. If you don't look good. It's a shit physique. A guy marks age advocating for getting fat for minimal strength gains is a blight on the fitness industry.
How many impressionable young kids who just wanted abs has he turned into terminally bloated powershitters? Literal crimes against humanity
damn those are some big abs
the tom platz of abs
Rip is the most dogmatic, delusional man in fitness and I really don't understand how anyone takes him serious.
He turned hundreds from dyel to squatting 400lbs
And thousands from 12-15% bf to morbidly obese.
You have to eat big
Internet autists latched onto his routine because it makes them feel superior to the gym curl bros who they are secretly jealous of
This
I have only seen 3 guys in my gym who deadlift or squat and 2 of them were dyels
All the chads just do machines cables and dumbbell stuff
I do squats and deadlifts on cables
There are million other powerlifting routines, why the frick this guy
He says to do curls because "having big arms is fun". It's in the book. SS is great.
*From fricking up bench after breaking my thumb skiing
>here's your curls bro
I got elbow tendonitis from and did a ton of chins and it got better quite fast.
I treated Achilles tendonitis and various sprains and tears the same way and it healed quick and good.
The trick is to find the right movement that gets blood to the area without aggravating the tendon.
Not every elbow tendinitis is golfers elbow
I fricking guarantee you that chins or pull ups is the worst thing you can do with golfers elbow
He laid his foundation when the internet was young. It was easy as frick back then as long as you looked "strong" and you spoke with confidence. Alan Thrall was one of these examples, he talks about it in his recent videos, the bar was so fricking low back then.
I've done this twice over the years and it worked both times
I healed mine with 6 weeks of strict rest and rehab stretches + glucosamine and etc.
I have a cure for that shit which takes less than an 8th the effort while providing immediate results. Cured my elbow issues within a month.
>voodoo floss
Look it up. Go on Amazon buy the cheapest brand you can find it’s all the same shit. It’s different than a fitness band there every little elasticity in it. Has to be actual voodoo floss to work right. Can be used on various parts of the body for various issues.
Look up how to use it for your exact issue. Generally you wrap it above and below the joint, do like 1x30 arm flexions then take the band off. Forces blood into the joint, makes the pain go away, reduces inflammation. Will provide immediate relief. Consistent use made my elbow stop hurting after a month.
