OMG YOU GUYS. People are ONLY qualified to give lifting advice if they're HUGE AND JAKT. I would never trust a skinny-ass punk, say, some random dude down in Florida who's trying to pass 150 pounds in the wrong direction, to give me lifting advice. Only a pussy would do that. Am I right?

Here are some quotes that he has said, which I don't think he's qualified to make.

"Good News! – The strength training and nutrition strategies you’ll discover in the coming months are all based on simple foundations. I probably shouldn’t be telling you this, but gaining muscle and strength is really piece of cake once you know how, and involves a lot of good old fashioned common sense.

After training for more than 11 years, I’ve concluded that effective strength and muscle building has 3 key ingredients, no one more or less important than the other 2. To keep everything organized, I’ve put them together in my TRIANGLE OF STRENGTH AND MUSCLE BUILDING. Here’s my Triangle…"



His lifts are garbage too. His max bench was like 225, and he's been lifting for 11 years, with the goal of getting "stronger"


It's not just that he looks like this, he actually thinks he looks good and is strong, but he is not. If he thinks he looks good and is strong, is that really the kind of guy you want to trust? Mehdi is also an arrogant prick and bans people (me) who question him on his site. All his information is stolen from Mark Rippetoe and Bill Starr.

Adarq has gotten results for himself, and others. I think that is the type of guy I'd want to listen to. Mehdi has done neither, but acts like its so easy. It's insulting to people who've actually gotten results to hear what they did is a "piece of cake"

I could care less about the founder. The only reason I ever go there is for the nutrition section. It's laid out really simply and isn't loaded with BS claims. Other than that, I really don't care much for the site.

sems to me like he only writes stuff that he has read elsewhere and lots of it is bro-science
isnt his program just starting strength with curls and other useless stuff added?

lol he "closed" membership to his forum

No idea. He had a whole email about how he makes money and all this crap.

what's wrong with the 5x5 for begginers like me?

also, some of his articles are kinda informing looking at it from my prospective.

just checking though, are those stats and pic up to date Jc? Just checking bro..

A simpler program works for alot of good genetics type of people imo, I can hear alot of people get resutls at my school doing a program like strong lifts..Actually, I think that the football team does that sort of routine in offseason. I am not there right now due to track. Many football players only do that workout routine, and it works for a lucky few and shows a few results for others.
