Because I have a crush on Mark Rippetoe (I'm considering tracking him down and maybe stalking him during my vacation to Texas next month.......What? Is that a crime? Lol!), I thought I'd share this site that has a lot of awesome, funny quotes from one of my favorite strength training experts (Chris is another favorite of course!!):

    Okay, Lora, first of all - you're about 2 months too late. I'm already stalking him - so back off. Second, I love this site. Here's one of my favorites:

    "Women who claim to be afraid to train hard because they “always bulk up too much” are often already pretty bulky, or “skinny fat” (thin but weak and deconditioned) and have found another excuse to continue life sitting on their butts."

    I have some other favs, but the language in them would mean I would be on the sidelines with Chris. :sad:

    That's a good one!

    My favorite is: Strong people are harder to kill than weak people, and more useful in general.

    I just added it to my profile. I think it's my new mantra in life.

    Love this quote my Rip! Especially when you see him say it on a video in his eccentric almost disdainful way.

    LOL These are great.

    I am literally LOL'ing at this one at the moment.
