@KOArtist LOL, perfect gif.
@choc Shat Thank you kindly sir!
@Wiggy Mmmmm MILF porn. Oh wait mommy porn. That's not the same is it? stops lisa ann gb search. Anyway we agree, whenever I want to give praise I definitely name names. Even on ol tmag if an article is especially good I'll comment. If not I keep my mouth shut. I especially agree about the 'art' of s&c. "Auto-Regulation" is hard enough, much less determining this sort of thing for a client. You really have to know a person, and know people. It's psychology in as much as it's kinesiology. Actually, it wasn't directly the shit that went down on here, same topic except that someone started a thread on t-nation about his recommendations. A lot of people had a problem with it... I got pm's from mods and what not. cw and I went back and forth on the thread over there as well. Funny thing is that it was guys from Rickson's, guys who live in thailand (and fight there), high level judo competitors, couple ex college wrestlers, etc. At some point you have to just admit that you were wrong lol.
In 
I'm really glad I came across this thread. It's nice to hear other people have been feeling the same way.
Come back tonight we're gonna get a hug circle going, wiggy is going to play us some Kumbayah, and i believe Taku is bringing us his world famous cheesecake.
1) I do hip thrusts as part of my warm up. I find they really help my back. (I have back issues from an old injury)
2) I haven't read T Nations in ages. They were awesome back in the old T-Mag days with Poliquin and King and even up to the rise of Thibadeau. Kind of fell off a cliff after that.

The hell I am. I'm putting AC/DC and Judas Priest.
Judas Priest + cheesecake = WIN!
This is probably considered sacrilegious but I think Dan John is one of the most overrated writers on there. Once you take away his "aw shucks" persona it's not clear why he's held in such high esteem.

Someone seems to have invited Ozzy Osbourne to a Martha Stewart party.
Chocolate Shatner - Judas Priest + cheesecake = WIN!
I have serious levels of concurrence with this.

the s&c forum we're a metal family ... if I have a son i'm naming him max. a daughter i'm naming her treble-volume.
^^You won't have to - you just gotta teach 'em what's cool.
My daughter (known as "Mini-Wiggy" to my Facebook peeps) is 12 and digs what's cool. We drive down the road in my '66 Stang together singing Twister Sister. AC/DC is one of her favorite bands. And don't get me started on the fit she threw one night when I made her go to bed on time when a Ted Nugent concert was on TV...(even if I did DVR it!).

Another good dude is Nick Horton, his Zen and Weightlifting page changed my entire perspective on o-lifting and even fighting. Learning to relax more in both has made a huge difference. I started making my snatch feel "easy". Highly recommend him as well. Thanks to Becca for introducing me to him through her site.
I used to sit in a cube like a donkey for 10 hours a day. Hip thrusts help a bit in offsetting all that sitting w/ shitty posture.
I also work out in my basement and would probably not be caught dead doing those in public at the gym.
These guys have to come up with their own schtick to "differentiate" themselves and continue to gain new readers/followers. There are only so many ways you can present the basic principles of lifting before it gets repetitive. Eventually readers see the same things come up and finally decide to KISS.
My son is two and he knows how to find his two favourite songs on my phone; cowboys from hell and Man on the silver mountain by Rainbow.
He loves a bit of Dio.......
I have a great video of him dancing to Blackened by Metallica at about 18mths too.....

Ah but sometimes, re-presenting the basics is actually what is needed. Why? Because each and every day the basics and truth is being buried underneath a mountain of steaming bullshit. Hell, take a look at anything TAKU says or on Elite FTS. There was an article on there last week where Dave Tate posted some videos he did when he did his one and only seminar at Crossfit HQ.
Now, nothing on the videos is groundbreaking, nor is it complicated or controversial. Yet that article has over 100 comments, fueled by a couple of X-fit douchebags who have bought hook, line and sinker into the X-fit Kool Aid.
The fact is, I have more respect for TAKU (who constantly keeps it very simple) and guys like Tate (who keeps it simple, seasoned with 1001 variations of words that would make a sailor blush) than any funky movement bullshit artist, regardless of the degrees or certifications touted by said BS artist.
Now, does that mean that I 100% agree with TAKU or Tate or Rippetoe or any of the others that I respect? No. But the disagreements are respected disagreements, and ones that I can respect as perhaps applying to people other than myself.
For the Internet Trainer Douchebag, I would quote the following from Harvey Dorfman, a noted sports psychologist:
A Winner would rather be respected than liked, although he tries for both.
A Loser would rather be liked than respected, even if the price of being liked is mild contempt.

LOL - I saw that. (My buddy Andy Hepler - who commented on the thread a bit - tried to get me to chime in with my two cents, but the fucktardery was already at such levels that I didn't feel like wasting my time.) But the Xfitters have moved on - now they're attacking Tim Ferriss on his Facebook page for linking to/recommending Dave Draper's Top Squat apparatus. Apparently, Tim has flexibility issues due to shoulder reconstruction surgery. Before he mentioned the surgery publicly on the thread, an Xfitter was the 2nd to comment on the link, telling him to "...squat like a man. #crossfit"
Yeah, I commented twice on the thread, but just backed off when I saw what the trolls were doing.
