I don't agree with Mark on everything but I agree with that. If you've followed all of the 'science based' information about lifting and have seen all of the conflicting information for long enough. You realize its all shit designed to appeal to people with ADHD.

If you look up ripetoes best bench press and natty status at the time, you realize just how unimpressive he is. How did this fat moron amass a following?

OP used to be 400lbs. If he asked Mark Rippetoe for advice, Rip would probably tell him that he needs to get up to 500lbs.
Balding is death. If you have no hair, you have no life.
