had a doctors on more than one occasion tell me I need surgery. and I would ignore them. train through the injury, and magical 6 months later they can't find anything wrong.

40 years ago my dad was in a car accident that left him with 3 fractured vertebra in his neck. According to his doctors, he should've been a paraplegic. Thanx to the expertise of the first responders and the hospital staff who took care of him, he never had one surgery and was put into traction for the better part of 6 months. 18 months later he was back on the construction site, doing physical, manual building work. Other than the occasional visit to the chiropractor, he never had any problems with his back and neck. The only sign of the accident was that the max he could turn his head was 45° from centre. My mom had a backache one day, ended up at a surgeon, who ended up giving her a spinal fusion, much to my dad's protestations. A few years later she needed and went for another fusion and a few years after that, needed another. Out of desperation she decided to see my dad's chiro who, 11 years later has kept her out of the inevitable surgery that a surgeon would recommend, because he makes more money off surgery than recommending strength training. My mom's will be 66 tomorrow and I keep telling her about the benefits of strength training because I believe it will help her, but she's a stubborn old mare and is set in her ways, so the chiro will be on the payroll until we bury one or both of them. If there's one thing I agree with Rip on, its that people are willing to eat the plate of shit a doctor tells you to eat without as much as getting a second opinion or exploring alternatives. All that other shit about masking and Covid conspiracies is all blah, blah, blah to me at this stage. I won't be looking to him for advice on Covid but I respect his knowledge on what we come here for... getting stronger.

Ok, we need to come at Ripp from a different angle. Hey Ripp, please name reasons that are acceptable for not squatting.

LOL "You ate a giant pile of s**t, cause a man said eat this shit" Love how crass this analogy for blind obedience is.

I'm wondering, what Rip would say to a person in a wheelchair and ask is it safe to train legs.

You don't need an ACL to squat lmao - I am 53 and been squatting since I was 15 and have no knee problems. I also 'need' knee surgeries for multiple meniscus tears in both knees and bone fragment problems in one knee (big as auto accident). Squat right and you will never have a problem with your knees and your knees won't hurt. I squat weekly for reps in the mid 400's natural.

Hit this video to learn about the topic/title. But hit LIKE the moment I heard the very first sentence about government responsibility in creating pandemic panic and in limiting access to health services/procedures . ❤

I would bet $50 that that 1st doctor did not make a blanket statement of "you need surgery ASAP!". Just like, despite common parlance, doctors do not make definitive proclamations of "months to live".

Where do you send the questions? Is there an email?

Why is Rip so insanely anti-mask? He calls it intellectually lazy, but then says it’s ceding authority to the government. He loves to say more people aren’t dying but that is clearly and evidently proven incorrect. He says masks don’t work but like all anti maskers presents no evidence for it. Rip also loves to proclaim every doctor wrong based on his diagnosis of the issue having read a question off of the internet. Honestly this pandemic has made Rip go fully off the rails. A man who proclaims to be logical and evidence based has now fully gone down the rabbit hole of believing that everything that pops into his head and dribbles out of his mouth is unimpeachable wisdom. Funny how trying times reveal the best and worst in people.

That's complete rubbish, I had a total ACL rupture. As a result my knee completely stopped functioning. No flexion, no movement, couldn't bend it, couldn't stand. This man is lying when he says "no ACL for 20+ years."

RIP serving up a plate of shit on this one.

RIP sets on judge's chair putting all people but him are wrong.

"You people....."

Anthony Fauci did not say "do not wear a mask". This channel is the epitome of intellectually lazy on almost every topic other than squatting, pressing and deadlifting.

cimednaP

“You people” are intellectually lazy

Hahahah stupid masks

I wonder if Rip would change his opinion on masks if some one started coughing in his face? It's protection for people around you from you and vice versa, not "slave like obedience". If you think it is "slave like obedience" than I hope you are not a Christian.

Except the fact that the 2nd doctor told him to lift and not worry about surgery... Rip just decided to ignore just for the sake of his same old argument..
