The crazy part of me will just flat out tell you that I’m destined for greatness. I do genuinely believe that. But if I’m being real, I just believe that the old school weightlifters who won medals in the 40s, 50s, and 60s have, in general, better training programs than TikTok steroid experts today.
And since I have Doug’s whole training system memorized, and I have been using it with success even without using it to its full capacity yet, I know that what I do is better than Sheiko, Smolov, or 5-4-3-1. And it’s not like I have no experience in powerlifting. Back when I was at an all-time low bodyweight of 190 pounds, I had a 205 clean and jerk. So I got experience on both powerlifting and Olympic weightlifting. And there’s also my recent progress with Doug’s system.
Combine that with the fact that I’m an amazing Stoic philosopher, then it’s really my destiny to become the greatest powerlifting guru in American history. I‘m wise enough to recommend Bill Starr to young people who are starting out on weight training instead of directing them to Mark Bell’s slingshot condom.
