Lifting heavy weights and fighting the System – Adam Piggott

> But in the context of serious practitioners such as Rippetoe who are dedicated to seeking out truth and sharing it with his clients, then I have to disagree with Bruce. Training with heavy objects greatly contributes to my ability to avoid the medical profession altogether since I remain strong and healthy. Mark Rippetoe has done extensive work with older clients who have benefited greatly from his strength training programs, which I have no doubt has helped them also to avoid the trap of globalist “care”.

> As I stated at the beginning of this piece, Rippetoe has been obviously frustrated at his inability to break into the mainstream so that his training based on sound fundamentals could be shared with as many people as possible. But if he was to make the intellectual leap to understanding how the system only rewards its own then I feel that this would greatly benefit Mark. You can’t fight the system, the system always wins on this earth. But what you can do is to be aware of this and then operate outside the system.

> Starting Strength has a published corporate culture. Up until recently I would have been impressed upon reading it. Not so today. It has the right buzzwords for resisting the globalist system, but it is entirely secular and of this world. It also aims for success in this world. It mentions personal courage, and personal responsibility, and the scientific method, and human accomplishment. But nowhere does it mention spirituality. Nowhere does it mention God. Mark Rippetoe seeks truth but God is the ultimate truth. Reading the manifesto, it reads less like someone who seeks truth and more like someone who has his face pushed up against the globalist window and who desperately wants to get in but on his own terms.

> But that is not how the deal plays out.
