John Meadows X’s 100000!
Not… into it…
Meadows, Matt Kroc, Shelby
Couldnt choose 3 worst other than Poliquin, pretty much every writer who is small and gives you all these scientific reasons you need to be doing all these goofy exercises that you never see the pros, or any big guy on this website doing. Seems like thats almost every article for the last year or so now.

What did you think of Check in person? His writing comes off as being on the lunatic fringe, but he was spot on with the BPA in canned foods and soft plastics loooong before it was even a blip on the general public radar.

From Paul Check interview with T Nation: "The average human being should pass about twelve inches of well-formed, not foul smelling, fluffy, easy to pass, light brown, earthy-smelling stool per day, if you’ve got a normal bowel.
You can poop three four-inchers, two six-inchers, or one great big one; it doesn’t really matter."[/quote]
Ha! A set and rep scheme for poop!

Well, he did come across as a nut to most in the audience. I worked as a personal trainer for NYSC (Town Sports International) for a year a long time ago and the seminar was for personal trainers. Most were lost on what he spoke about, I think not so much because they couldn’t grasp the content, but because he was speaking so fast and in such a pedantic manner that the content went right over their heads.

Low TUT for explosive/speed development, Higher for volume/mass!
I’m surprised only one person so far has said Matt Kroc. I like him and Wendler the best, both of them seem to be about no bullshit fairly basic routines that can pack on some serious strength and mass. I also very much enjoy how Kroc writes about the mental aspect to lifting, a lot of the articles lack that and I feel its equally important to the physical qualities of lifting.
I also enjoy TC’s rants about life in general, always enjoyable to read.

TC’s Atomic Dog was awesome. I miss it, a lot.
Dan John’s articles are always similarly intriguing. He’s a hell of a philosopher.
Thib’s stuff pre-I,Bodybuilder was amazing.
Meadows has taught me more in the last 2 years than I thought I was capable of learning at this stage in the game.
Love Wendler’s tone and attitude.
Don’t like most of the newer authors that’s only because their articles aren’t targeted at me, which is ok.
I miss the Dead Pool series… A LOT!

I assume you’re referring to my post, and i agree, cant believe Matt Kroc hasnt been mentioned more.
The guy knows his shit and can back it up with results whether youre talking bodybuilding or powerlifting, and hes a no bullshit, straight-shooting, badass mofo.
His motivational articles hes written in the past and his experiences and anecdotes have helped to fuel some of my best workouts and ideas.
This guy was featured in the Dead Pool series, 2003 installment if I remember correctly.
1 Meadows
2 Tate
3 Wendler
Depending on my goals those can be interchanged with Starnes, Cressey, TC
Bottom feeders for me-
Bret- you can’t fix everything with kettle bell swings
Nate Green

Is that because Nate would just interview everybody?

Me too man, me too.
My top 3 (in no particular order) are:
Jim Wendler (love his writing style and the focus on basics)
Ben Bruno (I like his approach to working around injuries)
Dan John (as with Wendler)
I don’t have a bottom 3, but Rippetoe’s narrow-mindedness and arrogance really irritates me. I think it is important to have an open mind I suppose.

An open mind is like a fortress with it’s gates left unbarred and unguarded.
