Mark Rippetoe is the Dave Ramsey of strength training...😂

Literally spit water out of my mouth all over my laptop screen when he says “You don’t eat shit Derek.”

My pre workout meal today was 5 pounds of onion rings dipped in butter and my post was Pizza Hut deep dish . Also I’m taking Twinkies with chocolate frosting and adding to protein shake . I’ve gone from 32 to 46 waste in 2 weeks and my bench has increased 5 pounds . 💪. This is working !!!

I started the program at 48 years old and 5’ 10” 175. Had back problems for the last 30 years obviously not due to weight. Now 195 and 6 months into the program. Zero back issues. My back feels 10x stronger from all the deadlifts and squats.

I'm 6'5" and 145, my deadlift seems to have stalled out

I love this call so much. I just can't tell if Derek is trolling rip or not. A boiled egg a grapefruit and a protein shake is like 300 calories

Caller: "Hi. I'm Dave. I'm having trouble with my bench press... " Rip : "stop screwing around and gain some weight." Caller: "the problem is my hands can't reach the bar to bench press." Rip:. "how much do your arms weigh?"

Mark is a hilarious coach. His hype men are growing on me.

Can you guys please make a montage of all of the calls where Mark tells people to gain weight

"Gut muscle" is a real thing, my squat get stalled and weaker when my gut become more flat 🤣 The gut gives us stability

Drinking protein shakes 24/7 is a big task. Maybe his lack of sleep is hindering his performance.

This guy literally ticked every box and is a perfect example of the guy that "can't gain weight" or "has a fast metabolism." then it's "oh my cholesterol is high" LOL

I'm 6'4 and 120lbs, but I've been stuck at 135lbs trapbar deadlift for 2 weeks now...

They fucking TORCHED this guy 😂 I’d love to see more clips of this

Great vid, reminds me of the guys I grew up around, total honesty of what a lot of us are thinking & not saying, so good to see.

My God, even the claw was getting angry at that caller. 🦀

I'm 5'13" 31.1 lbs and deadlift 6.25 pounds. Advice?

Derek is concerned with his high cholesterol, because he perceives it to be an imminent and high level threat to his health (perhaps he's had cardiac episodes in the past or he's had friends family die from heart attack) . That's why he doesn't dare to eat more robustly. I think explaining to him what high cholesterol means (or rather doesn't mean) would have served him better and encouraged him to be more adventurous in his eating habits. He's looking after himself and just needs a little more understanding.

Notice how the “Pink One”, his pincers, were agitated at the mention of the callers stats. The Great Pink Lobster King was not amused at that emaciated, frail caller.

Why does Nick look like a waxed and polished milk dud

Just absolutely legendary.

You got a subscriber. Potatoes, pasta, weight gainer with aminogen. Funny thing, they talk about putting on weight to stop joint pain. My joints never hurt when my weight is up. When I start to lose, that's when my joints give me problems. Yet one of the first things you hear from doctors when discussing joint pain is that losing weight will reduce joint pain by taking stress off joints. And Im a tree worker. Havent pumped iron in over 10 years.

I was this guy for a long time. Rip and Nick couldnt be more spot on and I couldn't stop laughing. Ive gone from 170-210 in the last 12-14 months and needless to say my numbers have gone way up. About 10% of people I regularly interacted with even noticed the weight. Including close family members who have been used to seeing me at 150-170 for years and years.

😂 That was definitely a good corporate training video for customer service representatives.

This was HILARIOUS 😂

“… come on man…” 😂😂😂

1:37 and the pink claws go snap snap snap in disapproval

"I do sell John Deere tractors if that gets me back in good graces" "Well, ya it does." lol

Greetings from New Zealand, having been stuck for a while, going to try to eat more, thank you.

Gut muscle...my favorite new phrase.

I am 6, 4 and weigh about 100lbs , I have a brother who is taller than me at 6, 8 but he is not quite as fat as me .. I think it must run in the family although i am not sure as i did not know my father who died 5years before i was born . Snapped in half while out walking one day or so i am told. My question is will strength training help me lose weight.

I’m 6”8 and 110lbs, should I add some assistance low bar squats after my 3x5 curls?

Haha. I love how blunt Rippe is.

Why sometimes with the same weight when I lift ( deadlift ) I feel too much stretch on low back and it seem heavy , And other time I feel like I squeeze my upper back and upper lateral muscle And the lift seem easy ????????? Np ( with same weight )

Love the focus on holistic health! 🌿🌟

I'm 63 years young. This is the best channel on KZfaq. Oh poor Derek ...

I'm not even hungry but I'm going to go eat something right now.(high protein of course).

I'm 7'1" and I weigh 130lb, do I need to eat more?

Mark Rippetoe is the Tywin Lannister of strength training

Hello Rip I'm 6'3 120 and stalling at a 225 5x10 deadlift, should I do more volume and leg extensions?

Can I swap out my squats for machine chest fly's?

YEah I did starting strength in September at 145.....I did to for 2 fucking months. Ate 5000-6000 calories a DAY. Gained 30 plbs in 2 months. I shit you not x'D !!!!! Now I'm back too 160......my next goal is 164-165 and then I'll set another goal after that. Honestly going steady has been working for me but you gotta always improve on your lifts. Always. I find the harder you train, and the harder you recover the better the gains 👍😁

Allll thhart maattarss iss theee numbarrs on theeee barrrrrr

I need to ditch my abs, and care more about the numbers on the bar! Ive only just started my journey into starting strength, im a novice novice 😅

Excellent podcast 👌

I'm 6'4 and 180, benching 220 lbs and can't advance. Should I do some backoff sets?

Gaining weight REALLY does work, but you don't HAVE to get fat. A caloric surplus is necessary, though, and some excess fatty tissue is just gonna happen. No way around it. But it can be done reasonably and without getting obese.

Rip cracks me up! 😆

He said he's pulling 245 for 3x5. If he does 1x5 he might not be in pain or so weak.

Damn they decimated this guy lmao

This man is 100% Kentucky

I weigh about 100 kg, and I wanna push it to 120. That's a lot of food, I'm so excited!

This guys great damn :P !

I’m glad he admits this is not a health channel.

I am 5'9" 160. Squat in the low 4s bench in the low 3s deadlift close to 5. You can see my abs. Waist is 32.

lmao rip straight up started laughing at my man at 4:31

The pincers were strong on this one

Hey Rip or anyone reading, I've managed to do quite a bit of damage to my blood work over the years by trying to gain weight as quickly as possible. This includes giving myself pre-diabetes twice, high red blood cells and high cholesterol once. Are there any reccomendations for gaining weight without killing myself? Eating too much red meat or rice is now likely off the table. Every time I try that diet I pull myself closer to the grave. If it matters to you, I'm 5.6 @ 165lbs.

“HYelloup” “Hey...” “Hi!” “What’s up?” “Good!” ..........

ED called out. Accurate.

5:44 had me rollin

At least give the caller some credit for being honest. I just started the program two weeks ago. I'm 5'7.5 and up to 150 pounds from about 143-144. I bought Whey protein and a blender and have two protein shakes a day (whole milk, ice cream, berries, whey protein). I eat two sausage and egg crossaints in the morning (if I get up late) from BK on my way to work (about 40G of protein for $4, can't beat it). Or if I get up early enough 3 eggs, oatmeal, and two glasses of whole milk. I'm just like the caller in that I really hate eating food but I've finally forced myself to eat enough to grow. My numbers are 145X5 on bench, 175X5 on Squat, and 215X5 on Deadlift. I'm aiming for 170-180 pounds. I would like a 1.5X BW bench, 2X Squat, 2.5X Deadlift (as my goal for the time being).

If my blood pressure gets high when i gain too much weight what would you reccomend? Just say fuck it and high blood pressure is a fake issue?

I love Derek

How big a bowl???

Imagine talking to Rip about “lean bulking”

lol best video ever seen

bang on about the eating disorder, poor guy is tortured. i think he ran through every single excuse in the book.

I distinctly remember JM Blakely (600 bencher) saying muscle is made out of food not hopes and dreams. Eat.

Rip is a strong cuddly bear 😀

I had been trying to hit 225 on bench while eating "clean" lower carb higher proteing. This didnt work! I started a dirty bulk and hit 245 in 2 weeks. After struggling to hit 225 in a year. I eventually hit a 345 bench at 215 pounds.

Coach, I need your help stat. I am 7'11", 137.5 lbs and my bench is stuck at 90 lbs, the most I ever dealifted was just the 1 plate on each side so 135 lbs which is just shy of my bodyweight for a double. Besides gaining weight is there anything else I can do? Can I drink a gallon a urine a day instead of the prescribed whole milk? Can I hop on a different set and rep range for a bit or buy a new book to read? Please advise. Thank you.

We all know that Derrick is still running and eating about 2500 calories per day.

Building muscle is a slow process, gaining fat is quick and easy. It takes years of hard work and proper diet to get big and strong. 1-2 pounds gained a month is fine. Body fat does not lift the weight, muscle does.

"we dont care about your abs". That right there sums up the problem with Rippetoe... 99.999999% of people lifting weights do it for the looks (myself included) unless youre planing to be one of those super strong WHALES. With fat drooping all around them but hey! You can pick up some heavy shit! Following this advice will leave you looking like.... Well, Rippetoe. A fat "strongman".

"I eat pretty good" 😆

I'm 52, 6'5" at 215. Rip told me I need to weigh 245. I can't eat enough.

That's the Joe Biden "C'mon man!" response👍

Damn that was hilarious

Rip says what every coach is thinking.

Rip has gotta be the most patient man in the world

They fucking ripped Derek apart 🤣

Ripp at a Chubby Chaser resort, " Well done, you splendidly grape-shape m0therfker$ !! " 😅😂🤣

I was going to make a comment but decided the prudent thing to do would be for me to gain 50 pounds first before saying anything! :)

Love watching this video. “You don’t eat shit”... fuck that hits when I undereat

High cholesterol is not a problem if your triglicerides are fine, your triglicerides are fine if you're not eating much of processed garbage

It’s probably not a good idea to call into the show if you weigh 160 pounds or less and are not a woman or 12 year old boy.

I’m 53, 5’7” 221lbs -gained 32lbs drinking whole milk doing barbell training the past year. 435 deadlift & 375 squat Question so if I drop 20 lbs of fat shouldn’t I be able to add 20lbs to the bar!!! Me+ Bar = (Me-20)+(Bar+20), no?

Man they didnt even tell him to drink a gallon of milk a day?!?!

You could add chia seeds, olive oil and feta to those eggs and make them 800 calories

Where is Bree?

I died laughing

Jason Genova crab claw

Back pain will stop after gaining weight?

Hahaha rip is the best

Oh, Derek.

Did something happened to his hands?

How is eating more a problem lol

When he said 4 pounds 🤣
