Quotes of the Day from Mark Rippetoe (aka Rip):
“If you had to choose between wearing no shoes or running shoes to lift in which would you pick?”
Response: “That is like asking me to choose between stabbing myself in the eye with a fork or burning the roof of my mouth with extremely hot pizza. Can’t we just avoid both?”
or
“If lifting heavy weights for partial [squats] were of any benefit for sports, Gold’s Gym would be fielding the majority of the 2008 Olympic team.”
