Those videos where they have these kids do all these random shuffle steps in zoid boxes/cones/ladders?
The best ones are when the kids do box jumps with a band around their neck and while carrying dumbbells.
Check out the IG for breakoutathletes
Dude just got all these gimmicks, and found an area where rich parents are willing to pay 80-100 per session for training sessions that look like the 2009 āDo the harlem shakeā videos
They blocked me because I asked them what the point was of doing a jump cable row with a scissor kick and landing on a foam surface
EDIT with video:

This analogy is fantastic.
Is that supposed to be effective for running?
Nah, they know it doesnāt work. They just do it to look cool and reel in parentsā money.

They just look pretty. Most of the stuff you need to do to get stronger isnāt really that Instagrammable.

Iād like to eat some raw steak after soaking it in the toilet bowl for 3 or 4 days too, Mark. Pretty sure thatās not what sous vide means, but thatās fine.
It really would be best for the hijacking and attacks to stop. Take them to a new thread if necessary.
This is a long-running thread thatās been helping people do the program. You have issues with the plan or the coach? Lay them out elsewhere. Itās been done plenty before, but thatās your solution.
There arenāt threads in the 5/3/1 coaching forum criticizing the plan and the Food Porn thread doesnāt have arguments about keto or veganism. This thread doesnāt need to devolve any further.

The guy who dreamed up GOMAD doesnāt believe mankind has an effect on climate change.
Well yeah, as it was created around the 1930s.

GOMAD is magic for people who need the calories. The only problem was that I was too full on milk to eat anything else.
A gallon of milk is like 3000 calories
125 some g of fat, 180g of carbs, and 120g of protein. This was magic when I was 160-170. Took me to 190 in a summer.

That and peanut butter put me from 155 to 195 in 3.5 months.
YUP. Technically I was also doing Rippetoes Texas Method at the time, so I think itās relevant haha @Chris_Colucci
This article was really helpful, and could probably help with athletes who want a continuation from Starting Strength

Thereās also something to be said about the difference between a gallon of raw milk and a gallon of milk you can get today.
