If you can get a bigger bench without putting some size on your arms, you might be a rare specimen
There might be a reason they are staples in a lot of programs
I hope you’ve been lifting hard since you started this thread. That’s really 80% of the process
The suspect thing is Mass Made Simple
He says front squats that’s not beginner friendly at all
Hence I don’t like him, what beginner or skinny dude jumps on front squats
whys that
Because it’s not a exercises anyone recommends oy this dude
It’s not beginner
Any why are you fighting for his guy?
Can’t anyone expect I don’t want to join the Dan cult ?
extremly false. Maybe if you only listen to instagram or tiktok coaches, it’ll be true.
I just asked chatGPT for a list of coaches would recommend a front squat: Mark Rippetoe, Louie Simmons, Dam John, Charles Poliquin, Mike Boyle, Greg Everett, Chad Wesley Smith, Christian Thibaudeau, Jim Wendler
because it’s interesting to talk to people and see what they are thinking
I’m not part of the cult but considering you are a self stated beginner, maybe listening to good coaches is a smart thing to do
This is a very disrespectful way to interact with someone who is trying to help you.
Could you imagine if OP was saying this in any combat sports practice lol
I don’t have to imagine. I’ve shared the mats with a couple of guys (it’s never a woman) who know so much more than the coach that they felt the need to constantly correct the coach shortly after arriving on the mats.
They never lasted more than a couple of classes. There is, after all, no need to learn when you already know so much.
Empty your cup.
…and then fill it with milk. And do Super Squats.
Which ISN’T a Dan John program, but it’s hard work, and no one wants to do that.
In wrestling practice we had something called “hamburgering”. you had to wrestling everyone in descending weight class if you were being a shithead or messing up in school
At BJJ, it was “Hey since you know so much go roll with that teenager, he’s still a teenager so you should win” (it was all adults). That teenager was me so they would get blast doubled or thrown, smashed, and then a guillotine. But then my coach would beat the shit out of me because there’s always bigger fish lmao
I may have lost the plot. OP, are you both self-describing as a beginner and (quite colorfully) telling @T3hPwnisher he doesn’t know what he’s talking about?
What is happening lately?
I really want to think it’s like 1 or 2 people creating a lot of accounts to shit post from because that would allow me to keep my faith in humanity but IDK…
It’s hard to pinpoint when this sort of thing started happening, but I don’t recall it ever being an issue until the internet was invented.
