that guy can reach like more than a foot lower than i can...

>>42546446
i can barely go past my knees

doesn't matter though, i'm a powerlifter

>>42546446
yes. they are a great mobility exercise. they make leg raises much easier and increase your ROM. use only enough weight for a good stretch though. don't fall for the idea that everyone is doing a milllion pounds as most pictures include some idiot doing hurr durr 2 plate. actually 10-20 kg is plenty in the beginning. focus on form and slow tempo.

do you ever lift with loose muscles? muscles are supposed to be tight. that's why stretching is a meme and waste of strength

>muh tight muscle better for strength
then why can oly lifters do splits and throw 500lbs in the air and squat 700

>>42548402
because they are slaves who are doing that 8 hours a day every day since they were 10

Rippetoe is a meme and many people have pain and mobility issues because they were sedentary before they tried his gay clueless one dimensional program.

it's not his problem people have shit mobility

it should be common sense that poor mobility will lead to muscle imbalance and to injury or pain in the end
