If you’re currently playing a sport that requires a high level of conditioning, you were not the intended audience for this article. He basically said this in the opening.
All due respect, but get the fuck outta here with this nonsense. There are no conspiracy theories going on here. If anything, T-Nation is pretty consistent with offering different theories on cardio, lifting, and nutrition.
Man, Wendler must think Rippetoe is a serious dumbass and probably couldn’t stand to be in the same room with him since they’re 180 degrees apart on their thoughts on conditioning. Oh, wait…

And I acknowledged who the intended audience is for Ripp’s latest article. Re-read my original post. The OP, by empirical knowledge, had doubts on whether Ripp’s philosophies are effective and I explained to him why he should not take blind faith on what he or anyone else said.
As for telling me, “all due respect, get the fuck out of here” that kind of passive-aggressive behavior only reflects what everyone else who reads your posts know: that you are very much one of the Ripp sycophants that I mentioned.
You worship the guy…that’s painfully obvious. And you appear to have plenty of time on your hands to be his gatekeeper/cheerleader. Fine, but going on the warpath to over-defend him only erodes your credibility.
As for published authors biting their tongue on an article that they don’t agree with, there is an obvious unspoken agreement to not step out of line (back when Poliquin was writing here, he was refreshing enough to call bull shit from time to time). If your reading comprehension is such that you took my phrase “conspiracy” literally, then I hope this clarifies matters.
BTW, you are now making a career out of staunchly defending Rip and writing articles that are little more than regurgitation of what others have written in the past. Perhaps it would benefit you to step away from the keyboard and take some time for self-reflection.
The only people you are making any headway with your posts are those who already blindly worship the guy.
