I think my only contribution to the never-ending Thread about Rippetoe was posting a video in which he trashes the Trap Bar. And I mean, "trashes" in the literal sense: the thumbnail shows the TB sticking out of a dumpster.

I pointed out the stupidity of this; pro athletes, people serving in the Military and average gym bros have all used the Trap Bar to get significantly stronger. And avoid injuries while doing so. Just because Rippetoe doesn't like a piece of equipment doesn't mean it's bad.

Yeah, I couldn't really give a toss; I'm not a powerlifter and have no intentions of competing in powerlifting, so for me, I have no problem using the trapbar, even if it's looked down upon by others. I will cycle deadlift using a regular bar in every so often, but for the limited space I have in the garage, trapbar is much more convenient.

The guy who writes my program has competed in Powerlifting at the national level. One of the first things he told me was,

"If you're not planning on doing a Meet, don't train like a Powerlifter".

He said that if someone is just training to get stronger, it doesn't matter what exercises they choose, as long as they provide a strength stimulus and can be done without causing/exacerbating any injuries.

What are you doing for your neck?

 

[MilkManUK]

What are you doing for your neck?

I lay on a bench with my head & neck hanging off the end and do static holds with a weight on my forehead if I'm face up or back of my head if I'm laying belly down. I also do neck curls from those positions. I use a recently purchased neck harness too, aswell as some wrestler's bridges from time to time.

It feels better on back is plenty enough reason to tell everyone who whines to suck it. Love the sound of the iron church bells, you had them in rhythm
