Any idiot can get on a treadmill and watch TV and then take great pride in the fact they've โexercised.
Mark RippetoeYou do not need to do many different exercises to get strong - you need to get strong on a very few important exercises, movements that train the whole body as a system, not as a collection of separate body parts. The problem with the programs advocated by all the national exercise organizations is that they fail to recognize this basic principle: the body best adapts as a whole organism to stress applied to the whole organism. The more stress that can be applied to as much of the body at one time as possible, the more effective and productive the adaptation will be.
Mark RippetoeYou donโt get to mis-define a thing, and then on the basis of that mis-definition, say that that thing is bad โฆ itโs incumbent upon you, if youโre going to make a criticism of something, that you actually have at your command a working definition of the thing you're criticizing
Mark RippetoeTrust me, if you do an honest 20 rep program, at some point Jesus will talk to you. On the last day of the program, he asked if he could work in.
