2026 is the year I undo all the damage “Powerlifting” and Mark Rippetoe did to me
No man has harmed more young men than Mark. He turned a whole generation of men into fat unaesthetic >30% bodyfat human pears with huge asses and wide birthing hips
He is going to hell
@MikeJTrades@stillnez216 My friends don't lift so it's just me and my sons and a constant barrier with my friends since they like to talk about video games at age 50.
I never realized how many grown men would get offended when I said the inability to bench 95lbs is unreasonably weak for a healthy adult male.
We legitimately may have a testosterone crisis amongst men. I was considered weak as a high school freshman and benched that.
There are two types of people on the internet.
Those who see this machine and think, "wow, that's incredible."
And, those who think, "what a waste when you could just do a simple barbell squat."
Dudes in my replies yapping why training for more than an hour is too much and a waste of time while they make excuses about why they can’t bench 225 and babble on about how 315 is an “elite” lift for a gym bro
Me: I enjoy thinking about my wife sexually and doing something about it.
Catholics: Thinking about your wife that way is lustful. You're a goon.
This is the mind-numbing stupidity (I'm using this in the Prov 12:1 sense) of the pseudo-Gnostic garbage Augustine brought into the proto-Catholic church. God made men and women attractive to each other for a reason. It's all over scripture.
So grateful I'm not a Catholic and never will be.
It ends when you end it.
I've said it many times. Catering to fussy eaters creates insufferable adults.
"Breakfast is ____ today. Take it or leave it".
@simonmaechling Fatass diabetic doctors just handing out shots and pills lol. Every paper funded by the government or a corporation. It's a shitshow of hot garbage pouring down from "experts" who know jack shit. You know that 50 push-ups is life changing for health yet you can't do them.
We are living through the rise of anti-expertise.
The idea that knowing more makes you less trustworthy.
Where evidence is optional,
credentials are suspicious,
and confidence beats competence.
That doesn’t empower people.
It makes them easy to manipulate.
