"Anyone who says that full squats are "bad for the knees" has, with that statement, demonstrated conclusively that they are not entitled to an opinion about the matter. People who know nothing about a topic, especially a very technical one that requires specific training, knowledge, and experience, are not due an opinion about that topic and are better served by being quiet when it is asked about or discussed. For example, when brain surgery, or string theory, or the NFL draft, or women's dress sizes, or white wine is being discussed, I remain quiet, odd though that may seem. But seldom is this the case when orthopedic surgeons, athletic trainers, physical therapists, or nurses are asked about full squats." - Mark Rippetoe
Newb: Got any good ab exercises?
Rip: Got any better questions?
I can just imagine the old man rambling.

"In the mountains of truth you will never climb in vain: either you will get up higher today or you will exercise your strength so as to be able to get up higher tomorrow." - Friedrich Nietzsche
Even a constantly frail German philosopher knew the values of progressive overload.

Dictionary is the only place that success comes before work. Hard work is the price we must pay for success. I think you can accomplish anything if you're willing to pay the price.
I firmly believe that any man's finest hour, the greatest fulfillment of all that he holds dear, is that moment when he has worked his heart out in a good cause and lies exhausted on the field of battle - victorious.
Leaders are made, they are not born. They are made by hard effort, which is the price which all of us must pay to achieve any goal that is worthwhile.
The difference between a successful person and others is not a lack of strength, not a lack of knowledge, but rather a lack of will.
These are just a few quotes from the legendary Vince Lombardi

I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.

RJ Quotes
"I've read the works of the heavyweights in the field and I see gaps in even their thinking, understanding, and organization. They may have more experience than me, but I wouldn't say they know more. Coaches can only apply so many different physiological stimuli in so many patterns and I can outline the effects of most down to a cellular level. As far as we, as coaches, are concerned, the rabbit hole only needs to go so deep."
"And I know a grasp on science alone isn't enough to be a coach. One of the biggest things I've learned over the past couple years is how practice rarely mirrors theory. However, with a good psychology background and people skills (for understanding the athlete), scientific knowledge, a bit of intuition, and the understanding that perfect is often the enemy of great, it's a piece of cake.
"While I'm obviously still not at the pinnacle of my writing/sports science career, skill acquisition is asymptotal and, at least in areas concerning training, I'm near the asymptote. I've put in an ungodly amount of time and I believe I have plenty to show for it. I can compare my works to those of Bompa, Verkhoshansky, and Zatsiorsky and I don't find myself lacking. In areas of specific study, I don't know as much about nervous system function as Enoka, or as much about tendon and fascicle function as Kubo, but I can take their ideas and findings and integrate them into a complete training plan without difficulty. In areas like nutrition and biochemistry, I still have A LOT to learn and I'm working on it."
"Like I said, I know I'm not at my peak, but I would consider myself an expert, albeit one lacking in practical experience. With or without the time coaching though, I still feel that by considering the knowledge and insight gained through years of experience by those with more time on the front lines, I can fore-go making many mistakes for myself and just learn from them. "
Apparently you can know what "works" even though you've never seen it "work" personally.

i remember reading those quotes, i was astonished at the time.
when i'm reading it i somewhat laugh, but then i'm also cringing, but then i start laughing again, it's just a very weird post.. mind blowing.

I think you can describe the difference between RJ and a real coach as the difference between a guy passionate in medicine that reads the internet all day long on the subject, buys books etc, and a real doctor who actually practices medicine.

"Crist, it takes me literally 8 weeks to get the average person up to a 2x bw squat. And guess what???? They're still practicing their sport 2x a week. And going to school or work 40 hours a week. And they don't gain 20 lbs."- jgvbl24
"Fat% shouldn't matter, it's strength/power to weight ratio that counts"- CCJ
"p.s. just bought a house so it may be a little longer until i get a video camera (i'm housepoor, lol), but will be sure to post as soon as i get one"- SquatDR on July 27th, 2006
"well I'm confident I will eventually hit 405x8, which would mean my squat would be around 495lbs"- CCJ

Any quotes from Maroko?
-
No, but I got another good one
"For the record, I think it's ridiculous for people to be calling Alex out, considering we all know that he definitely knows his shit and has impressively turned his passion into a business. Isn't that the ultimate dream anyway? Or maybe I'm just saying all this because I'm his scam artist buddy... " - Taylor Allan
I kind of derailed this thread into funny db hammer quotes, but they are good nonetheless.

"He never wanted the limelight, so he will just as easily shut up and leave things be
he never claimed to be a fast 100m runner, but over shorter distances he is fast as expected, and I do have a few videos from him, that no one here has seen. Since I respect his privacy, that will remain so" - CCJ on SquatDr

So Taylor Allen just admitted he and Maroko are scam aritsts. You gotta give'em props for that one. :highfive:

Is SquatDr the same guy as Dr. Squat (Dr. Fred Hatfield?)

Coo. I had seen Dr. Squat before coming here, and he didn't seem like a scammer. So I was confused about who people kept talking about here.
Hatfield looks pretty legit. His lifting records aren't bad either.
Holds the IPF Men's Open World Record in the Squat at 90 kg. (198.41 lbs.) Bodyweight with a 375 kg. (826.73 lbs.) Squat on 8/11/80 in Arlington, TX

A new gem from CCJ
"I guess by the end of the week I should be fully switched over.
It tells me all the hunger pains we get are not from real hunger, but just a programmed responce from eating habits that were started from childhood to now...
None of us really eat because we need to, just part of a brainwashed routine or for fun"
Also, look at the man in this video
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RVI-MpibgWA
Now look at some of his quotes
"Aside from that, I woke up this morning weighing 228.4 lbs, putting my BMI over 30 and classifying me as obese. Unlike your typical buffet-jockey however, I have a 33" waist and a 6 pack. Awesome."
"I can now broad jump over 10'6", clean 330+ lbs without having touched a barbell in months (Editor's Note: Wait What?), and standing overhead press 100 lb DBs for 8+ reps, all at a lean 225 lbs and off of the simplest training in my life"
(http://i843.photobucket.com/albums/zz352/WhammyBusiness/JagsFanWTF.gif)
Dude is delusional, and a ridiculous e-statter (struggles with 148db half rep push presses for 2 yet can overhead press 100's for 8+, plus the cleans) who still hasn't responded to my deadlift challenge.

didnt he use to post on here?

Something in human nature causes us to start slacking off at our moment of greatest accomplishment. As you become successful, you will need a great deal of self-discipline not to lose your sense of balance, humility, and commitment
great quote IMHO. don't hear that often.. slacking at the moment of greatest accomplishment.

when talking to runlikeagirl about racing & how it could be like surfing, kind of like my old vert/surfing analogy:
me:
"Feels more like surfing maybe.. you just stay ready, prepare in general, then nature hands you the waves.. out of nowhere you get a great wave and boom, pure bliss. That's what I gather from surfers."
her:
"Very true!!! Great analogy to surfing!!!! I think that’s exactly how it goes. Letting the race come to you but also have lion eyes to catch it once it comes."
what a beast. :wowthatwasnutswtf: :ibrunning: :ibsquatting:
we were talking about "late signups" to races, and how it can end up being "more fun/less stressful", and even having better performances without all of the prior specific buildup/planning.

Lynch: That’s when it just clicked in my mind that if you just run through somebody face, a lot of people aren’t going to be able to take that over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over again. They just not gonna want that.
Interviewer: Think there’s a deeper metaphor there?
Lynch: Run through a motherfucker’s face. Then you don’t have to worry about them no more.
