Mikey, if the guy hasn't lifted in a decade two weeks on machines is smart. Get the form down, build some strength.

Mikey, if the guy hasn't lifted in a decade two weeks on machines is smart. Get the form down, build some strength. machines offer no form as the handles move in a fixed path. He's better off using compound barbell movements using the bar only, which is what the program I sent him is based off off. All lifts start bar only and then utilizes linear progression. By all means, practice form and do not increase weights until you have the form down. But machines will not help with form, in fact they may hinder it.

No point in arguing. Have you met Diz? Chances he actually starts working out and keeps with it are very slim. Us giving him workout advice is similar to giving maijai dating advice.

Dude, you met me one night for about 45 minutes. You were drunk, your chick spit a shot on my blackberry and you left. What do you really know about me? Other than i'm damn good looking.

To be fair, the only other thing i remember about that night is your woman was making fun of your sweater.

Well, I do cardio 5X per week. Spin, walk on an incline, and run. 3X a week a do crunches (40X3) and SL dead lifts (15X3 @ 40#). The wife and I have been avid lifters over the years -- and as soon as her foot recovers from surgery we'll return to 3X per week -- 12 lifts (15X3) -- we don't do it to bulk up. It sounds super-gay to lift with a wife, but she was a college athlete and it's actually pretty fun. She does yoga and wants me to join her. When I was doing P90X, I thought Yoga was bullshit. Then I did it and holy fuck. I sweated more during yoga then other workouts. I enjoyed it for a while but 1 1/2 hours is too long. It sure helped with my flexibility, I'm as stiff as a wedding dick

how 'bout some motivational lines from Ripp himself:
"There are few things graven in stone, except that you have to squat or you're a pussy."
"We just call it the press, because how could you press without the shoulders? You can leg press... but that's gay"
"Now I also know that you're supposed to 'listen to your body', but my brain says 'don't be a pussy, and just lift the fucking weights', and that's just what I do."
"If you want to look like some Abercrombie model, then find another program and enjoy your nice, easy training style. If you are serious about adding muscle to your frame, then get under the damn bar and make it happen."
"The deadlift is more functional in that it’s very hard to imagine a more useful application of strength than picking heavy shit up off the ground."
"...bodybuilding is men on a stage in their underwear wearing brown paint showing other men their muscles. It is training for appearance only, and at the contest level requires a degree of vanity, narcissism, and self-absorption that I find distasteful and odd."
"There is never an absolute answer to everything, except of course that you have to do your squats."

I haven't used a machine in 6 years. They are for soccer moms and old men.

I love moving other people. If I was closer, I'd help.
Nothing worse though then someone asking for help moving, and when you show up they're not ready.
I ain't here to pack your shit, I'm here to lift heavy things or lots of little things.
