   Had to post this… Another Rip comment…

   Someone Said:
   Looking at the drawings for the squat: I was under the impression that when squatting, allowing one’s knees to extend in front of the toes places undo strain on the knees, and should be avoided. Any thoughts or comments?

   Rip:
   My only thought would be that you are somehow under an incorrect impression. Have you ever seen an Olympic lifter catch a clean without putting the knees waaaaaaayy out in front of the toes? I honestly do not know where this myth comes from (maybe AFAA or ACE or NASM or ACSM or some other organization that is not actually involved in strength training), but I seen no evidence that the patellar tendons cannot handle being placed a couple of inches in front of the toes. I mean, we all get up off of the toilet this way without any trouble, even those of us that are kinda large.

   The last line is a new classic…

   John - doesn’t seem novice to me dude. Excellent work.

   James - Rip’s a hoot. Thanks for sharing.

   Now I’m gonna go practice my squats…from the toilet in fact.

   Do share Coach. That way when us novices get moved up a category it will be celebration time!

   Thanks.

    Nice work Matt, especially on the strict press. Looks like I’ve got some work to do to catch up with you and Paul.

    Thanks John, but based on your numbers above I’m the one who’s got some work to do.

    Hopefully I’ll be home to have you motivating me in the gym soon.
