He’s the old school gym teacher we all had as kids

2 weeks into his starting strength program and squat and deadlift have absolutely exploded. Bench and press also went up but squat went up 50 pounds in 2 weeks and non existent deadlift went to 300. This dudes a beast

underrated reel. he is really the best, most trustworthy coach out there. only noobs or retarded fitness people that does not know how to train call him bs. after a couple of years, trust me, you'll know what i mean.

Roller skating brought my bench press up. Then I turned to Rippetoe for help.

This is how u get good at exercising

Thats how i learned to lift weights when I was 11 years old and started to lift great job on the video 🏋️

Doing this right now! Learning a lot

This man knows

Wao What a Knowledge

Do yours fahvs 👴🏻

Makes sense

In the early 80s that how we did it. That took about two years to Maxx out our bodies. Then we sprinkled in a little test. A year later a little test and Premo then a year later test Premo and Deca. In 10 years you were 240lbs of Roid Rage. Now your almost 61 and back down to 190lbs. But? You Remember the old days. When you could bench 405 for 6 and squat 495 for 6. 😢

Why does Mark reminds me of the wisdom of Judge Joe Brown? Excellent advice!

Hes right ✅️

Continuing to increase the weight of your 5x5 sets each week for your core lifts 100000% works when it comes to getting stronger… I worked out with a buddy of mine and we followed the 5x5 w/ a 5-10 lb increase each week on bench press… my buddy went from a 120 lb bench to a 225 bench in 4-5 months while losing weight… I had lifted in the past but got away from it for almost a decade… I went from 205-315 bench in the same period… Do not confuse this method with aesthetic lifting that body builders do to pump up their muscles… This isn’t going to do that… this workout is entirely for strength training purposes… personally I like to mix it with supplemental lifts… and I prefer dumbbells for shoulder pressing… but for bench, squats and deadlifts I love it…. Keeps it simple, no jumping up and down with reps and weights… same heavy ass weight for 5x5 every time…

Arthur Morgan is right

Progressive overload? Or is this something completely different?

I think the big lifts are a great place to start for healthy people even if their goal is hypertrophy. I have allot of clients who never did a BB squat or dead and got great physiques though. Some people with injuries just can’t do it. If there is not a safety bar I can’t squat anymore due to a chronic shoulder injury from flipping my truck, but a combo of hack squats, split squats and leg press still work for me. Good advice, but again not for everyone

Five pounds a workout for six months????????

I haven’t done that much lifting I bike 25 miles run 8 miles and swim 1 mile every 3 days. I can clean 350 pounds and bench my body weight I don’t lift. I should tho they are equally as important you can still be huge and look jacked and still have a cardiovascular disease because you don’t do cardio.

This is the same guy that tells you to drink a gallon of milk a day 🤣🤣🤣. Yeah I want to get strong, not fat.

I just don't get how you can add 15 lbs per week onto your lifts for that many months. So, lets say I've been on the program for 3 months and I've got my bench up to 315 now, my bench in 4 weeks is really going to be up to 375?

This guy's advice will get you unnecessarily injured. Followed him for years, have the starting strength book on my nightstand. His recommendations are good if you want to dedicate yourself to powerlifting. Otherwise, absolutely no point in listening to this guy. Lightweight full body kettlebell routines will be infinitely better for your longevity and overall health. Hate kettlebells? stick to lightweight barbell exercises for volume. Radically reduce risk of injury. So what if you can't deadlift 4 plate? it's not fucking useful at all unless you're trying to be a powerlifter.
