Red1263 Posted July 27, 2012 Report Share Posted July 27, 2012 At first, I was thinking of the original Quote, "By the power of Greyskull!"

leadchipmunk Posted July 27, 2012 Report Share Posted July 27, 2012 I kept reading Greyskull, and out of the corner of my eye, I kept seeing andyTHFC's avatar and thought it was He-Man...

aj_rock Posted July 27, 2012 Report Share Posted July 27, 2012 As far as I'm concerned optimal ratios are BS, especially as we're mostly weak and getting stronger (we're about the same in terms of lifts, and both have a huge amount of progress to still make).Lift with the goal of making progress every time you're under the bar (another reason I love greyskull is that even during resets you're hitting rep PRs). If you do that you might be off with the ratios a little bit due to anthropomorphic weirdness, injuries, initial strength imbalances, etc ... but you'll be pretty balanced overall. There are a lot of otherwordly strong people who have equal squats and deadlifts.Meh, I'd put it somewhere above BMI in terms of usefullness... in terms of statistics amongst people lifting weights, the 2/3/4/5 stands out. Being off from it just means you stick out from the statistical norm. What you choose to do about it is up to you Unfortunately, MOST of the time I see the ratios broken is because someone emphasizes Bench above all else, and gets way too high. Squat = deadlift I can live with. Benching more than you can deadlift, well... Far be me from judging, but holy f*** man do some leg workouts! Why must I put a name on the foods I choose to eat and how I choose to eat them? Rather than tell people that I eat according to someone else's arbitrary rules, I'd rather just tell them, I eat healthy. And no, my diet does not have a name.My daily battle log! Link to comment

chairohkey Posted July 27, 2012 Report Share Posted July 27, 2012 Derivative yes. Ripoff no. If you read through the book you'd understand there's some good reason the program evolved into what it is.edit: that being said, I'm not really doing that right now as it is, but the basic structure of intensity sets and resets works for me much better than SS ever did when the weights get heavy.I've read. And I like it. I've even recommended it on this site on several occasions. Nevertheless there's no getting around to fact that JP used to be affiliated with Rippetoe (instructed at his seminars / moderated the diet section on his forums) then wrote an Ebook incorporating much of Ripp's SS. But its all good, everyone steals from everyone else. Starr borrowed from Hepburn, Ripp from Starr, and JP from Ripp. Link to comment

Church Posted July 28, 2012 Report Share Posted July 28, 2012 I like how women think: she's been stringing me along for so damn long that I can't remember a time when I WASN'T chasing her (while having never met face to face), and then she drops off the face of the earth for over a month, so I figure I'll never hear from her again and go ahead and delete her. And this makes ME the asshole? Got it.

I scare dogs.I've never pulled a wolverine growl, but I've stared down a Rottweiler before. It was all " GRRR.... I'm gonna eat you." and I was like " *batman glare* SHUDDUP BITCH IM TRYING TO WATCH TV!" my buddies dog didn't like too many people besides me. LolWhat I ended up telling her when she got all upset the I deleted and said she would be deleting me was "that's unfortunate"But I'm not too choked up about it in any major way. She seemed like a pretty awesome girl, and definitely a looker, but I've had my suspicions that she didn't present her real self.
