At the risk of sounding like an idiot...

I think there's some efficacy in the methods prescribed in the Cube, and I think Lilly is an incredibly strong and gifted lifter.

That said, I think the guy is a jackass. I think the weird, almost cultish devotion to everything he says is ridiculous, and I think the "hardcore" attitude he presents is...well...fu(king dumb. I'm so tired of the "I'm the best because I have sacrificed everything to be it" mantra. I find it shallow, and I feel sorry for the regular dudes who latch onto that.

Sorry, Sean. I'll edit/delete if you like.

[jimbuick]

It's $37 right now. I'm going to take the plunge.

Even if you tell me its worth it, I still won't.

That's too much for an ebook.

And I hate ebooks.

Quoted so you can't get rid of it, even if you want to!

Nope, I feel ya. His social network following is just ridiculous.

[Torobestia]

Pass.

I'll own it, I just don't want to threadshyt with my personal rant. Too late now!

Lol. Three ebooks and a 90 minute video of Brandon Lilly's seminar in Chicago. I really hope there's some nuts and bolts to this one, or I'm going to look like a fool in front of all of you guys. I agree with the sentiments on the Cube sheep. It's like one day someone asked Brandon a percentage and to get them off his back, he said "I don't go by percentages, I just ****ing lift." And now if someone wants to employ percentages, they're Westside and Westside is evil. Well, conjugate works, and I know what I'm running for my upcoming geared meet, and you can bet I'm going to stick with conjugate when I go back to raw stuff.

[Sean1332]

Pass.

Yup

Though I'll still read it if I get a free copy.....

I don't really have a desire to jump back on that wagon

3 books??? Holy crap. They better be 15 pages each.

[herderdude]

One is 365Strong, one is eating (I certainly don't care about food quality, but I'll bite HAR HAR HAR), and think like a powerlifter is the third. I have thinking like a powerlifter down. I shave my head but not my face, I get fat and bloated, and I'm almost always winded. Then there's a video called "mobilize like a weightlifter" with Ryan Brown (he's another very good mobility and movement guy who's on with Juggernaut), and apparently a video of Jon Anderson, and the seminar video.

Information overload.

[Swanson52]

I was clued in to the money grab when I spent the money to have him "design" a program, only to find out he was sending the same "custom" program to every sucker that sent him money.

That's shady as hell IMHO.

Conjugate FTW.

Agreed. When you first brought it up, it was hard to believe the guy would never have thought "What happens if two guys that know each other both sign up for a program?"

More like "fawk you, pay me".

With all of his philosophical soliloquies and love for Chuck Palahniuk I think ^THAT^ is his life's philosophy.

Saw the new Cube email....didn't even click the link.

Interpretation left to everyone else.

[smoker145]

Tried the cube for a little when Robbie was doing it. I didn't like it that much. Benching 2x a week was not the best on my shoulder, 1 week rest or about that between bench sessions is much better for me.

I like how Lilly is all about getting America stronger and more competitive but the guy seems like a dick.

Maybe the cube would be. More beneficial for me once I get my proven numbers in dec after my first meet. But for now I'm happy as hell with 5/3/1

[NomZ]

Sean, I can give you a more detailed cut plan with CHO/sodium/water manipulation I've repeatedly used if you want.

Pretty chill IRL and willing to talk to you from the times I met him.

it's worthless. Id get rid of it but my whole family is on it

[atanocc]

it's worthless. Id get rid of it but my whole family is on it

I guess it depends on what u use it for. Wife n I actually share one just to keep in touch with some fam n friends. Barely go on it or update it, but i find it convenient to see what people up to that u don't get a chance to see much due to distance

That's the main reason I have it. Share family pics and whatnot.

[Sean1332]

We'll see how the hips feel with these when I squat tomorrow

[rob112]

365 strong looks a little pricey


I would like to read it though. Even if not for a training style, just due to the fact I like Brandon Lilly and what he brings to the table being 12th best all time and getting stronger.

Edit: no fb either, and nice sexy briefs man(no homo?) lol

[Sean1332]

Massage is done.

She gives me an anatomy lesson then makes me get into all the positions before she works on it.

Right above my femor was ungodly tight. Also, I thought my hip flexors were in good shape until she drove her elbow into spots Ive never bothered touching. It was excruciating.

Back pain is gone and external rotation is back.

Well spent $25

[Torobestia]

Damn, where'd you get that massage from? Most places here charge well above $50.

[Sean1332]

50% discount everytime I go for serving. Her son ships out for USMC basic in 2 weeks. $25 for an instructive lesson and painful elbows for 30-40 minutes

Can't beat that. Gotta be nice to learn from someone who REALLY knows how to do that stuff.
