30 Questions
Does anyone actually like doing front squats?
Why do so many people think that front squats are somehow magically more “sport specific” than back squats?
When did getting strong get so complicated?
Has anyone who weighs above 180 ever tried to wear an American Apparel t-shirt? Man, is that a funny look. The upper body is skin tight and then it flares out to a giant moo-moo dress at the bottom. Strange..
Is everyone in the fitness industry now a business/ marketing expert?
If you make less than 250k per year can you really be considered a money making authority? What about all the sub 100k earning biz experts? Not good, my friends, not good.
Speaking of business and marketing, if you are one of the presenters at such a conference I probably wouldn’t mention to people on your blog or twitter account that you are driving there or splitting the hotel room with five other guys. That’s not what big time successful people do. If you’re gonna go with “the fake it til ya make it” approach you gotta be on your game at all times, kids.
Has anyone ever done snatch grip deadlifts on a podium?
A podium? Really? Isn’t that what people speak in front of?
Are people really still recommending glutamine as a worthy supplement?
Are people actually still taking glutamine?
Is it me or is Megan Fox really hot?
Does anyone actually like doing split squats?
Is a fauhawk ever acceptable?
What would Mr. T think of such a hairdo?
Why don’t more people have a reverse Mohawk like late, great Road Warrior Hawk? If I could grow one I damn sure would.
Is there anyone with more built up anger than the Iron Sheik? Man, I love that guy.
Are people still recommending 40-70 seconds of time under tension for optimal hypertrophy gains? That’s good comedy right there.
Why does everyone on 24 start every sentence with the word, “Look?”
“Look, Jack Bauer was in trouble and I had to cover for him.”
“Look, I never meant for it to end up like this.”
“Look, if you want my help you’re gonna have to start trusting me.”
“Look, we’re running out of time here!”
Are still people recommending the ole slow tempo scam?
Did anyone ever see Arnold, Yates or Ronnie Coleman perform a 402 tempo? Or a 505?
Did you ever hear the one about how leg curls should be done plantar flexed because doing so lessens the involvement of the gastrocnemius and puts more stress on the hamstrings? Oh man, that is funny stuff. Although you wont think so if you actually do that because your knees will be ruined. But it’s funny to read about.
You know what I find very annoying lately? Cookie monster metal. I got into it for a year or so and then woke up one day and wondered why. Slayer and Static X, yes. The cookie monster just screaming jumbled nonsense, no thanks.
Are trap bar deads really safer than regular deads? Usually, but not always. Depends on the person.
Why would anyone ever want to use a treadmill when there are infinite amounts of earth to cover by foot or by bike?
Why don’t more people meditate? The Holosync Meditation Program has changed my life.
Is it me or deadlifts really, really fun?
Are there two more “sport specific” exercises than running or jumping? People need to do these two things more often and worry less about standing on a wobble board or whatever other scams they use to make exercises more “functional.”
Has anyone ever heard Dane Cook say anything funny?
You know what is funny? White sneakers. Those are funny.
Solid white sneakers are really funny.
Solid white sneakers on a guy… hilarious.
Why has Snoop still not realized that he is nothing without Dr. Dre and that his only good album was released in 1993. Call the good doctor and make something worth listening to. I’m begging you. That’s 16 years of wasted talent.

Megan Fox, blowjobs and white sneakers. my kinda article.
yeah I do like front AND split squats
Megan Fox, oh yeah
Deadlifts, oh yeah
What the f%^k is a fauhawk?
In fact, how do you know what one is?
I hate split squats.
Front squats aren’t bad.
Deadlifts are the shit.
Tempos suck.
Who even does leg curls?
Great article!
Jason,
I don’t weight 180 anymore. I’ll get back to you when I do.
I don’t make shit, and probably I knew everything there is to know about internet marketing three years ago.
I pity the fool who shows Mr. T such a hairdo!
“Look, why do you ask so many damn questions!”
Deadlifts will make your dick bigger. Front Squats with KB’s are more like a Zercher Squat–which is coincidentally the most badass lift.
Megan Fox is wicked hot…but that picture takes things to whole ‘nother level. I don’t even have words to describe it – maybe that’s the Maca talking.
As for split squats – they were way harder than I expected but I’m game to try them again.
Solid white sneaks are hilarious…unless they have a Jumpman logo somewhere.
I need a little private time with that photo above.
Great article. I hate front and split squats but i do them anyways.
I love deadlifts
cookie monster metal and snoop sucks
I LOVE front squats – and Holosync is good, but actual meditation is better.
Peace!
Look, In a perfect world,
Everyone would do deadlifts trap bar or not,
Mr. T and the Iron Sheik would beat on everyone sporting fauhawks and white sneakers
I’d earn 250k plus
And Megan Fox would be doing front squats in a 402 tempo on me in a hotel suite in Vegas, while i was listening to the NEW Snoop & Dr Dre, sporting a cool reverse mohawk.
How Bout Watching Megan Fox Perform Deadlifts?
Split squats: ehh not so much.
Front Squats: oh hell yeah.
Speaking of leg curls, an unnamed instructor from the NSCA who later went on to promote BowFlex for many years, insisted that not only should you perform plantar flexion when doing leg curls, but you should also execute an isometric hip extension slightly off the bench while performing the exercise.
I suppose one could argue that it was effective. But one could also argue that it wasn’t….
I do like doing front squats . . . but only when I have bumper plates and a platform and I get to drop the bar onto the floor when I’m done.
And as for the whole “business expert” thing, I guess the whole “Internet training guru” thing was worn thin, so now all those people who have never actually trained anyone need something else to do.
And podiums actually are things you stand ON, not behind (those would be lecterns). And there are various other uses for a podium, like standing on it to receive a medal, but I’ve never seen one used for snatch-grip deadlifts.
I would address the other questions, but you lost me after I realized that there’s a picture of Megan Fox in this post.
Manny, thanks for the clarification. I just thought it was funny to recommend snatch grip deadlifts on a podium. Especially when the podium is a four inch wooden box.
Probably your best post ever, Jason! Love this one –
Has anyone ever heard Dane Cook say anything funny? Still waiting for an answer. Guess it’s “No.” WTF is that guy, anyway?
You’re lucky I’m EXTREMELY bored at work. I answered all 30. Enjoy….
Yes
When people decided to make money making people strong
Yes, quite friggin hilarious
Seems like it
250k, maybe. < 100k, no.
I agree. Gotta be a balla if you’re gonna pretend.
Ha ha. “Podium”
Hey, they’re probably very edumakated
Probably just you……..and everyone else that likes boobs
Yes, I’m sadistic (see answer to first question)
I’ve been known to get ass wearing a fauhawk. *shrug*
He would pitty me
No way, Jose
Wouldn’t you?
Never watched the show….I know, right?!?!
TMI
I haven’t seen it….thank God
I have never seen Arnold, Yates, or Ronnie do anything
I never do leg curls. You just spoke Japanese.
Static X isn’t bad.
You answered your own question. Not fair.
Because it’s fucking hot! Stop trying to ruin it for me!
Much bigger turn off = KANKLES!
If you think that’s bad, you should see what I write on mine!
It gets fucking cold up here in Jan., ass.
Not enough time
I loves me some deadlifting
He talks loudly and makes large hand gestures. I picture it as a full-body seizure; therefore, I “lol”.
Money CAN by you happiness….I mean, hookers
Wat?
What, wat?
What?!? He was a No Limit Soldier, SON!!
Wait, you mean literally? Weird.
The last person I saw with the reverse mohawk was that guy from the electronica band Prodigy (remember them?).
Pretty sweet, but I always called it “the Bozo”, because I saw it done first by Bozo the Clown. What a trendsetter!
There should be a video of Megan Fox doing Deadlifts and Pull-Throughs all day long, now that would be worth watching!
Megan Fox: she *IS* fucking hot (and, im completely admitting that as a gay man), but I really need her NOT to talk since it disturbs my fantasy of her..im just saying.
additional Megan Fox: so, i assume you’ll be front and center for Jennifer’s Body in September, where she’s basically naked in the movie?
White sneakers=WRONG and that’s all i see out here in western pa (pittsHELL, i mean, pittsburgh…:))
cookie metal is an actual musical genre? Static X and Slayer: wow, I thought I was one of the only few who knew who they were..hot shit, Jason.
Wait, Dane Cook is *RELEVANT*? really? still? are you serious? no, really?
Snoop: You are very right about snoop, jason….he sucks and his best and really only good albums have been with Dre….
bigger question: Am I the only one who hopes or still thinks that Lauryn Hill will “get right”, come back and drop ONE, no, TWO albums as “L-Boogie”?
Really funny stuff man…
I don’t know why, but I really found that sneaker comment really funny….
Yes, Megan Fox is just ridiculous..
Haha good writeup
And I’m going to have to agree with you about the American Apparel shirts…
