@CornfedDiabetic @stats_feed Sounds fucking stupid. I’d actually like to hunt the original article down so I can see how terribly it’s being summarized by World of Bullshit here or if it’s something silly like animal models.

[Starting Strength Gyms @ss_gyms]

The one cost of deadlift straps is that your grip misses your heaviest sets. Warmups still go double overhand, so it gets plenty of work. Straps usually come in once your pulls get heavy.

Every time I think I work in the most batshit field, I remember “nutrition” exists and I calm down.

So sugar is bad because it raises insulin, but protein raises insulin too, except protein is good. Fat is good because it doesn’t raise insulin much, except too much fat can make you insulin resistant. Sugar is bad because your body turns some of it into fat, but eating fat is good because it’s already fat. Carbs are unnecessary because your body can make glucose, but apparently the glucose your body makes is fine and the glucose you eat is poison. Insulin is bad because it stores fat, but insulin also stops your body breaking down muscle, which is good. Fruit is bad because of fructose, but honey is somehow acceptable if you call yourself animal-based. Milk is carnivore even though it contains sugar. Your brain only needs a few grams of sugar in your blood at any one time, so apparently it doesn’t matter that your body uses hundreds of grams of glucose every day. Ketosis is natural because your body can produce ketones, but somehow producing glucose naturally doesn’t make glucose good. And sugar is addictive because you crave it, but craving steak means your body knows what it needs. I’m actually starting to think my brain is going to explode from how incredibly logical all of this is.

Missed a week? Ask the AI Coach what to put on the bar for your first session back. It reads your training log before it answers, and nothing in your program changes until you confirm it. AI Coach is part of Pro. @SS_Strength https://t.co/ABJHdiuNCL

@alexp_ssc Oh I know it’s not Rip. I thought the comment about 14 year olds in the 70s was hilarious.

[Autism Capital 🧩 @AutismCapital]

Mark Rippetoe would have been cancelled today just for existing. Haters can't believe that this is what the average 14 year old looked like in the 70s.
