Gainsdalf the Whey Posted February 21, 2013 Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 You are fine folks here and I enjoy these boards immensely. However, you are risking being replaced by the Q&A boards over at Starting Strength as my favorite place on the interwebs. The wisdom of Rip and other contributors on the board infused with their funny completely non-PC but not very often too over the top humor makes me learn and chuckle all at the same time. The link is below, I'm currently working my way through the threads from oldest to newest as the topics catch my eye. http://startingstrength.com/resources/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=129&order=asc Massrandir, Barkûn, Swolórin, The Whey Pilgrim 500 / 330 / 625 Challenges: 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 31 32 34 35 36 39 41 42 45 46 47 48 49 Current Challenge "No citizen has a right to be an amateur in the matter of physical training.

bigm141414 Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 Hahah that forum is great. Here's my new favorite Rippetoe-ism Well, many strongman contests (from regional to national) certainly include judged events/lifts that do not employ barbells, so I do not see what's so sacred about only judging barbell lifts. Barbells are sacred because I made them that way. "Pull the bar like you're ripping the head off a god-damned lion" - Donny Shankle Link to comment
Gainsdalf the Whey Posted February 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 yeah, that one made me laugh. I actually juwst bought "Mean Ol Mr. Gravity" for the kindle. It's literally the most useful questions and answers from Q&A forum compiled together, so I'm reading that right now. It's cleaned up and edited slightly, and not as fun to read because you don't get all of the comments.
