@ahmedkutigi1 @BernieSanders 👆🏽troll. In case anyone was wondering.

I used to like this guy, but I just don’t trust him anymore. He was excited at the beginning when Israel was pounding Gaza, and now he’s acting sympathetic to the Gazan people. He just goes where the wind blows. He doesn’t seem willing to do the right thing. He’s not mentioning a two-state solution, punishment for Netanyahu and his government, or reparations to the people of Gaza and Lebanon—just commentating.

72,000 killed in the genocide in Gaza. 1 million+ displaced in Lebanon. 1,700 settler attacks in the West Bank. And now war in Iran. Sending 20,000+ more bombs to Netanyahu isn’t just immoral—it’s illegal. That’s why I introduced legislation to stop it.

@RheaRipley_WWE Haters gonna hate!

Too manly. Too bulky. Too muscly. Too much sex appeal. Too lean / skinny. It’s comical really 🤣 1. You know nothing about me and what’s going on in my life or my mental. 2. Post a photo of yourself. 😊 You won’t.

This is sad. I know as a politician these companies are going to spend a billion dollars against me for saying it but 🤷🏽‍♀️ Pervasive gambling is not good for society. It turns life into a casino, traps people in addiction & debt, surges domestic violence, and fosters manipulation.

Perfect back squat. Three ⚪️ Unbelievable leg strength.

@sam_gzstrength So why do my arms still look like spaghetti strings?? Send help!

A SOLID ACHIEVABLE PHYSICAL BASE 185 Press 275 Bench 365 Squat 455 Deadlift 5-10+ chins 6-7 minute mile Its not crazy strong or crazy fast, but do this and you are super human compared to 99.9% of The Population

@wolfstrength Read the post for the gains and ended up googling goodhart’s law. I just want to be a meathead, damnit.

It doesn’t take much scrolling through my feed to see how often I’m critical of some of the stupid things powerlifting has caused, but the correctly performed low bar squat is absolutely GOATed. You can find hundreds of examples in commercial gyms every day of people absolutely butchering high bar squats. That doesn’t make the high bar squat bad. A video of a guy absolutely butchering a low bar squat also doesn’t make the low bar squat bad. You don’t get to drive your car into a rock and claim that as proof that driving is dangerous. For novices to build their base using a lift that trains the most overall muscle mass over the longest effective range of motion in a way that allows the use of the most weight, the low bar squat cannot be beat. Yes, you need to do it right. Maybe that’s why a smart guy from Texas wrote a book that goes through how to do so in exceptional detail. Powerlifting often screws things up because of Goodhart’s Law. But the low bar squat would be done widely as a training exercise even if powerlifting didn’t exist, because of its robust training effect when done correctly. I did the high bar squat for my first several years of squatting because I was told by everybody, including many Olympic lifting coaches that it was more athletic and carried over better to everything else, and that the low bar squat was not only inferior, but would potentially mess up my other lifts like cleans and high bar squats. It would make me lean over and dump the bar, etc is what they said. I got up to a 385 one rep max on my high bar in that time. Subsequently, I switched to the low bar squat, and did it exclusively for a few years. And then moved back to using high bar squat as a supplemental lift on light days only. Wanna guess what I high bar squatted after using the low bar squat to build my overall strength, keeping in mind that I had a 385 one rep max prior in the high bar? 475x5 On my light day, purposefully staying sub maximal. The exact opposite of what everybody told me because they were wrong and being dogmatic.

@nickd_ssc 225 here I come !

The press stalls first for everyone. It uses small muscles to move a relatively light load, so it doesn't produce enough stress to drive adaptation on its own. The fix is a 4-step protocol built around two principles: more stress and more practice.

@nickd_ssc This is awesome. Thanks!

@reactionspedia @thechosenberg This. lol. It’s prob a fake post though tbh

@thechosenberg the other men at his work he’s embarrassed to eat around btw:

You gotta be a real miserable sack of shit to be embarrassed by this

@wolfstrength @sam_gzstrength You seem to be the same page for the most part . I enjoy reading your posts as I meander in my never ending NLP/Intermediate struggles.

@Philletus @sam_gzstrength I used to be an associate, but no longer am. I was on once or twice as I recall. however I still think Rip’s work is foundational and the material is excellent. x.com/wolfstrength/s…

Have a friend who used to compete at a high level, national and international meets with high QTs or invite only. At once such meet, she was invited by a prominent PL coach to dinner with his group, wherein they spent a good amount of time mocking SS for thinking 1 heavy set of 5 deadlifts, done once per week, could possibly produce good progress. Not that they disagreed with it, but it was such a dumb idea that it couldn't possibly be worthy of anything but mockery and scorn. She bit her tongue for social reasons, not to be impolite to a high profile team who invited her to dine with them, but both having done it herself and having coached many people that way by that point, she knew they were wrong. But the story speaks volumes about how even the highest level coaches in the entire sport - at least as of the late 2010s - did not even remotely grasp the simple concept of training advancement. They couldn't comprehend that Novices and Intermediates are not Advanced Competitive lifters, they didn't even really know what those categories are and the logical basis for treating them differently beyond some vague idea of "newbie gains." A lot of people get their panties in a bunch when I disagree or critique high level coaches or practitioners in a variety of lifting related areas. How dare I, who am not myself coaching numerous champions? Well, it's because I've been exposed to how ignorant a lot of even the very top coaches can be about certain things, particularly about this specific topic. Novices aren't just less strong Advanced lifters. They are in a different physiological category when it comes to how they best respond to training: what to do, how often to do it, how much of it to do, and so on.

@wolfstrength @sam_gzstrength The most important podcast on the internet…. Obviously @SS_strength
