This would appear to be where you and I will have to agree 5o disagree
Too much blow back on criticizing CT in that regards.
I believe one if his parents is a psychiatrist.
Far as I know hes the only guy out there really pushing the conceptā¦
Even people giving āfreeā advice are typically setting themselves up for business in the future.
Yeah ā¦very good point.
Because Paul comes off like an absolute bag of dicks.

Not that Iām a huge fan of Jamie, but Paul made ChaosandBang podcast unlistenable talking over people and constantly having to be in the right.

Certain people will overlook a lot of things in their pursuit of the almighty buck.
As to the wonderfully colorful description used (referring to a bag ofā¦), I just have to laugh - and yes, I actually did, out loud! - Iāve never understood how some people think creating an unfriendly, downright off-putting public persona will benefit them in the long run. I routinely get frustrated with students I teach, and even people I email or converse with online,ā¦ but is it really so difficult to behave yourself?
When I first got serious in the sport, an older competitor I respected told me that āyou are your own brand.ā Plenty of people will resent and dislike you for your accomplishments anyway, so why give them additional reasons like making yourself look like a clown online?

In the old days, it was drilled into you that if you want to grow you need to go to failure. The aim was the Arnie quiver:
PC is probably from the same school and these ideas are hard to let go of. I have seen it work PC would have seen it work everyday for decades. Most people you see not working like this are not getting results.
But I donāt doubt that the other way works as well when implemented with intent and focus. Itās just that alot of the time the people training that way are half assing it
Geez Dr Mike had become huge and shredded since I last saw him 
Yeah, thatās why I appreciate people like Wendler. All his stuff is consistent, aināt no 180Āŗ shifts in his general training philosophy.
Since weāre on the subjects, woudnāt it be hilarious if Mark Rippetoe would start writing about how single leg work is actually superior to barbell squats?

Hahaha, exactly what I am talking about. I thought I was the only one annoyed by him, but boy was I wrong. Itāll get to a point where he sees it affect his dollar and eventually come around in a different capacity or medium, with his tail between his legs. Itās happened before. They treat their followers with distain, then when their forum collapses, they become guest writers or podcasters with a new personality.
