Because they have no friends and rippetoe is like a father figure to them

>Why does /fit/ revere this man so much?
Because he wrote a book that we can point newbies to which answers all their questions that they had or didn't even know they had about strength training
> He is a fat piece of shit why are we following his workout program?
Not all of us are, but it's a good place to start.
> This is like asking Boogie for diet advice.
False analogy. Asking Boogie for diet advice is retarded because he is fat. Asking Rip about workout advices not retarded because he is 50-60 years old and pulls 5 plates, has had a fuckton of shoulder surgeries yet can bang out 20 pullups.

>has had a fuckton of shoulder surgeries
On that point, why should we follow someone who can't keep himself save?

>>41793601
>why are we following his workout program
You're not that's the issue. Instead you post 10 threads with questions his book answers perfectly
And then 10 threads whining why you don't progress

He got his shoulders fucked because when he was young he was an autistic powerlifter who only did bench. Naturally, he created a shoulder imbalance and snapped his shit up. Now he advocates for benching as much as pressing
He is like Jesus anon, he took one for the team so we don't have to

Because his routine gives beginners a necessary amount of strength so they can successfully start an intermediate program. Whatever your goal is you gotta be strong if you want to get results from lifting weights.

>autistic powerlifter
>only did bench

But 2/3rds of powerlifting are not bench. What kind of powerlifter would only do 1/3rd of competition lifts?

Not that anon but i think he means Rip only did bench and zero OHP.

He is pretty silly for someone so seasoned at "coaching" as he is. If anything he's brilliant at marketing himself and his brand.
People treat his book and his words as gospel. But it is his following/fan base is actually what makes it bad.
The Worst: it has been 4 years and people haven't grown out of it, not even the slightest. I can't wrap my head around this.It literally took the time I spent reading his books to do it, and I wasn't the sharpest tool in the shed. Anyone that simply parrots anything that resembles his ideology/methods/techniques is be promptly considered an illiterate, their opinion disregarded any attempt of serious discussion is discouraged.
>Anon you really hate the man
Not really I even read/watch his stuff sometimes, but fuck I'm not stupid like some people here, which BTW haven't read anything past his books.

Wasn't it a motorcycle accident?

He can do 18 pullups, the exercise that fatties complain about the most.

>>41793601
He looks drunk, does rip have a booze problem? Or is he just a man?
