Theres so much sales pitch junk you got to sift through when trawling through that SL site..
Yea i agree. There is tidbits of useful info but its rare and copied from other places.

I want to rape, torture and kill Medhi.
Not entirely sure in which order yet though...
Atleast the site gets people which have probably never trained before into strength training which is good IMO.
Thats what they said about the Zyzz outbreak.
He loved doing himselfHe died what he loved doing, whatever that was.
I remember when zyzz said that gooby was the person he wanted to look like xD
But that one stands out
Thats probably the best post you've written ryan
Cos he's a plagiarising wannabe e-expert knob-end.
I don't think either SS or SL5x5 are particularly good programs (mostly because they aren't very well balanced, and making a balanced program ain't rocket surgery). They're a lot better than a lot of the stuff out there, and either program will make most people stronger than whatever they'd come up with on their own, but how hard is it to balance your pushing and pulling, seriously? Rippetoe presents as a massive dick and Mehdi presents as a massive pussy. Both of them manage to have personal armies of dicks and pussies. I feel that when people get into e-wars over which one is better, it's about as enriching as arguing over whether sandwiches should be cut diagonally or horizontally. The notion that steroids are needed to get bigger than Mehdi or to squat about 350 is either ludicrous or depressing. It amazes me that anyone over the age of 17 still buys into long-winded sales spiels, which is what 90% of what Mehdi's material is -- hey, I bought into that approach the first time I saw it, but then I saw it again and the grey stuff between my ears took note of it.
Both SS and SL5x5 seem to spend too much time trying to appeal to untrained wannabe bodybuilders. I guess there's more of a market for that, but no matter what Mark says about the IGF-1 in milk, drinking a gallon of it each day and squatting won't give you 10lb of muscle in 2 weeks.
I like apples.
He joins a very very long list.
I was drawn into Stuart McRoberts stuff to start with...
He has a lot of good points but dismisses a lot of routines, and assumes you have the recovery abilities of an AIDS victim. I had good progress completely ignoring a lot of his advice.
