@quasiSnarkX@ttexashedge@ruyschian read my original post. "It's a good place to start". But, it's harmful to tell lifters that trap bar deadlift is dangerous, when it's actually much safer than conventional. For an amateur lifter, they are much more likely to blow out their back conventional deadlifting
@jiujitsu199@ttexashedge@ruyschian This is the most hair splitting thing I've ever read. Any non-lifter would benefit from doing Starting Strength, and the imperfections you are focused on here would probably never impact them (if they are even accurate at all, which wouldn't matter anyway).
@hanzailar@ttexashedge@ruyschian Not to mention that there are lots of lifts, like single leg lifts, which help prevent injuries, that he completely neglects. I didn't see barbell Bulgarian Split squats in starting strength, but it probably should be, along with things like lateral barbell squats and zerchers
@ttexashedge@jiujitsu199@ruyschian As someone who used to follow Rippetoe's advice religiously - he is good on basic technique and for skinny 18-year-old guys. But the posterior chain dominance, diet advice, "don't stretch", "only do compound lifts"...
@ttexashedge@ruyschian That's not how Science works. There are multiple ways to get results. Things are statistical. Some work better than others.. Rip doesn't care about all of that. Just whatever he has been doing for 30 years is the absolute truth. Rip falls in the category of works, but not optimal
@jiujitsu199@ruyschian again if one has the true right idea, worked out over decades and logical followed, they don’t listen to other people with different ideas because they would have the wrong idea, simple
@hanzailar@ttexashedge@ruyschian It's even worse than that! His advice can be harmful. For instance, "Gallon of milk a day". Good way to give someone gastritis or some other horrible stomach condition. Also, I think discouraging the trap bar is also harmful. Conventional is a horrible lift for some beginners
@amitisinvesting That is one way of looking at it. Another way is that there are hardline IRGC factions that don't want a deal and that there is a fracture of power

I don’t think anyone would’ve questioned a general 1% pullback after the rally we’ve had since March 30th, but the question now is if this becomes larger due to the escalation.
I still think both sides want a deal and are having those last minute issues that always take place when trying to close a big deal, but markets will have to decide how much they believe a deal has a chance to take place…

I’m not talking about search and chat or pure model API even.
The conversation has largely shifted to agents and code gen. Where is Gemini in any of this? I believe they have a code gen but no one talks about it? There’s almost zero ecosystem support for enterprise use cases and integrations….
@ttexashedge@ruyschian Rippetoe is incapable of considering other people's ideas. He has radical and incorrect views. i.e, he thinks trap bar deadlifting is dangerous and justifies it with bad sophomoric arm chair pseudo-physics, when actually the trap bar is orders of magnitude safer than conventional
A British tourist was hiking in the Tian Shan mountains in Kyrgyzstan when he saw a distant avalanche and started to film it. But then the distant avalanche became not so distant…
@AirBreather1980@Divergent7651@BondKingJanusH1 I don't think that Uber is an anti-Tesla trade. That's only true is Tesla literally takes 100% of the autonomous car marketplace and the past year's worth of events doesn't seem to support that narrative.
@Kee354013Mc@marcportermagee He's so gifted that he blocked me. Point being, if your course is so easy that it can be completed in 20 hours, it probably means your professor doesn't want the headache that comes with holding students accountable. Half-assing something easy doesn't mean you are gifted.
@Kee354013Mc@marcportermagee and this is why people no longer respect degrees from so-called "elite" institutions. If this is how you treated college, congratulations, you wasted 40k a year of your parents money.
College students are now “speed-running” through higher ed:
“It takes most college students at least four years to earn a bachelor’s degree. Christie Williams finished in three months.”
@Kee354013Mc@marcportermagee Don't care. The fact that your college courses are so easy that you can skim through them without attending class or studying tells me everything I need to know about the quality of your degree.
@jiujitsu199@marcportermagee Also I had a scholarship so I didn’t pay anything. Perfect test scores and captain of the swim team in high school paid for college
@jiujitsu199@krispuckett Figma is currently the most robust design tool for UI design. Make is okay, but for a native Figma tool, it should be much better at using my design system. Figma is playing catchup.
