Here are some funny but true quotes from Rippetoes Book:
1. "Physical strength is the most important thing in life. This is true whether we want it to be or not. ...............A weak man is not as happy as that same man would be if he were strong. This reality is offensive to some people who would like the intellectual or spiritual to take precedence. It is instructive to see what happens to these very people as their squat strength goes up." p6
" The relatively recent innovation known as the Division of Labor is not so remote that our genetic composition has had time to adapt again. Since most of us now are freed from the necessity of personally obtaining our subsistence, physical activity is regarded as optional. Indeed it is, from the standpoint of immediate necessity, but the reality of millions of years of adaptation to a ruggedly physical existence will not go away just because desks were invented."
3. " It is hard to overstate the strength of a man with a 800+ lb
deadlift."
4. " If your gym is one of those which prohibits the use of chalk for cleanliness reasons or whatever, it is time to rethink ones priorities.!
5. "Don't handicap your children by making their lives easy" -Robert Heinlein
