“I have long noted that if you ask a self appointed expert a question, the answer is almost always sure and definitive.
On the other hand, if you ask am actual expert, the answer almost always starts with, “It’s complicated,” and the rest of the answer is nuanced - and includes sone kind of bounded uncertainty.
I started lifting with Starting Strength, and Mark Rippetoe was entertaining because he was always 100% sure about everything - from the best number of reps in a set to precisely how to avoid injury in one left or another.
Drs. Feigenbaum and Baracki embrace complication and uncertainty - their certainty never seems to outrun the clinical data.
That’s pretty refreshing.”
