I've come to the conclusion Mark Rippetoe is a long-winded fatass whose main redeeming quality is his long-windedness in a world where few provide adequate and/or scientific detail.
Learning how to squat is fucking easy, and he'll confuse as soon as help you. Same goes for deadlift. absolutely worthless advice. Go to your gym, see who squats/deadlifts a shitload, and ask each one how. The past few months I've learnt it's better and more prudent to discount advice from anyone who isn't already where you want to be.
this is what I've been trying to tell people on this forum for awhile. I have not seen or read ANY good sources for fitness training online or in any book.
I've been taught and trained with some of the strongest lifters in the world and none of what I learned matches the advice given by Rippetoe or any publicly marketed power lifter. Not to disrespect those guys but if any of you are serious about learning how to lift the right way, you would go online, search for a dedicated powerlifting/bodybuilding gym and join.
"hardcore gyms" are cheaper, have better equipment, better atmosphere and the knowledge you gain is PRICELESS !!
