Posted • Time passes. I get stronger and more resilient. I don’t need to make excuses for my method not working on me, but supposedly not working on others.
I told people back in 2011 about the implications associated with compressing your spine doing certain traditional lifts. They didn’t just call me crazy. They called me a con artist, fraud, scammer, charlatan… They even reported me to the federal trade commission hoping I could get removed by a governmental agency.
8 short years later, this is where we’re at. So we’re in the clear has a PhD and has published many peer reviewed articles. He’s supposedly a man of science.
The reason I question his use of “science” is because he has allowed people’s distorted vanity pursuits to affect the way he trains. I never did. I took the right path.
The right path is looking at a human for what they are. Understanding what they evolved to do, orienting a heirarchy of prioritization as it relates to training. That heirarchy did not prioritize exercises like deadlifts or backsquats like Bret prioritizes.
Bret decided to build on the flimsy foundation that “scientific” gym bros built many decades past. Look at where he’s at now. Just know as he gets older this doesn’t get any better.
I feel very lucky that vanity didn’t get in the way of my sanity. Im glad I saw the signs and adjusted. It was very obvious then, and it’s obvious now too.
All the people u follow on IG who do exercise and don’t respect fundamental principles I discovered will end up like Bret. No steroids, IV drips, stem cells or peptide injections will save them.
You have to account for gravity and what we evolved to do. U can’t ignore physics or it’s gonna bite you in the 🍑.
For guys like Bret dealing with the ramifications of their negligence who told me I was overreacting and fear mongering, keep eating that humble pie. I ate it before I could hurt myself.
The smart learn from their mistakes, the wise learn from the mistakes of others.
