Do you use an online training program? If so, which one? Would like to test and review more!

I’m more impressed that you found it easier to throw 425 over your head than just reracking it.

In a proud client. It's changed my life. I squated 500, deadlifted 505, benched 325, and overhead pressed 205 after 9 months of training.

Awesome review Coop. SSOC has helped me increase all my lifts by 50% or more in a little over a year.

Love your channel...well presented and attitudinally pleasing...my new favorite channel...always scope your uploads first...

My experience with SSOC has been similar. At 63, I'm the strongest I've ever been in my entire life. I encourage ANY older person to give it a try. You may not be "athletic", but it's never to late to be an "athlete"

Nice content, Coop. I love the reviews but it's great to see you branching out!

Congrats again, Coop. You've got way more in the tank!

Great Video man.

Definitely do more online coaching reviews.

Liked the feedback.... might do the club... seems like a good price for a few months especially having something to be accountable too

Love to see you check out juggernaut, tsa, flexx training systems. And thoughts on AI programming

I have been a SSOC client for the past 6 months and I have nothing but great things to say about it. My form went from being complete crap, and at 48 yrs old I am the strongest and most muscular I have ever been. The whole organization is top-notch. SS certification is the hardest cert to attain in the industry and this means that any SS coach you see either in-person or online will know their what they are doing. They will likely be the best coach you have ever had. I never comment on KZfaq videos, but this is a subject that an passionate about and worth taking the time to do so.

SSOC has been amazing. I took my squat from 315 to 405 in 6 months on the program and I continue to make progress on all my lifts with careful management from my coach. The personal interaction with my coach really helps drive progress as well. I cannot say enough good about it.

Solid work, sir!

Great review. That's an amazing increase in your total for an advanced lifter.

Cool ✨💪🏽😆🤙🏽✨ I kinda like the original squat, you put that puppy weight over your head brother! I’m glad your applying Starting Strength methodology✨💪🏽✨. I apply Starting Strength Training methods in my fitness programming as well. Keep training brother!

My two cents: You're not a newbie, not a rookie to lifting, i.e. Your gain (100+ pounds) wasn't beginner's luck. You made real PROGRESS. More or less, Ten dollars a pound was what it cost. Within 90 days !!!! Plus, You're carrying this knowledge forward. I think you got a bargain.

I went from 335 on squat to 475 in 4 months using the starting strength method. My bench went from 275 to 335 and my deadlift went from 375 to 495. People can say what they want to about starting strength but you can’t argue against results. Plus the podcast is pretty dope too.

SS is gold. Rippetoe is massively underestimated. Also Mehdi - Stronglifts 5 x 5, awesome too. Namaste x

PLEASE review liftheavyoftenasineveryday! I'm really curious

Strong people are harder to kill than weak people and are more useful in general.That quote from Rippetoe pretty much sums it up for me. Good vid and review sir

Started with starting strength. Hiring a coach for my first 3 months of lifting. I started out at 750 raw total. In 1.5 years I just hit 495 on squat and DL. 275 bench. 205 OHP. It works!

Awesome video. Thinking about doing the program. I will be 40 in December. I wanted to ask if 40 year olds should be doing the program as written? I've been lifting since 13 but not very strong, more bodybuilding. Also wanted to ask you if they allow high bar squat due to bad shoulder mobility.

He raised his squat 40 pounds by not jerking the weight overhead at the end of the lift

Thanks this was helpful

The starting strength program is awsome! I read the book and followed the program throughout my novice faze and it took my squat from 35kgX5 to 86kgX5 in a bit over 2 months (was 14yo at the time). Im being completely serious here, if you are a novice (or even advanced) lifter you should definetly read the book.

Hey Coop I noticed you switch from High bar to low bar. I know Starting strength is built on the low bar squat. Do you think you could have made progress sticking to high bar?

Solid goal and celly Coop!

I think you made pretty good increase in your lifts, I am very familiar and an advocate for the starting strength program, I was wondering if were doing any assistance work in addition to the standard program? Thanks

Tbh I didn’t even realize coup actually worked out. Thought he just had a thing for gym equipment... though he doesn’t really look like he lifts, he’s strong af!

I’ve been a Starting Strength Online Client for 7 months. It has been an incredible service and worth every penny. I’ve become much stronger, slimmed considerably at my waist, and have enjoyed the training immensely.

Hey coop what kind of auto regulating did they use in their coaching? RPE, RIR, Percentage based with error bars, etc?

I just wanted to say that I put 30lbs on my squat in one month using Squatober and it was free.

I think it is awesome you increased your PR's, but do you feel gaining that much weight for the amount of gains was worth it? You said mass moves mass and looking at the previous PR's you essentially maintained previous percentage of weightlifted vs bodyweight. As always I appreciate what you are doing for the community.

I really like the SSNLP, but I have mixed reviews for SSOC. I paid for the service for about 6 months and didn't PR once. I felt like the coaches I worked with were too married to the LP model and too often gave the advice of 'you need to eat more.' I'm not skinny and have a job that doesn't allow me to be fat, so not exaclty great advice.

All dumbells are out of stock and i have been in the market for dumbells so those dumbells in the background looks so beautiful 😍

I have used a tweak the programs Candito has.

Can you do a video on tips of buying use gear on Craigslist.

Hi Coop. What was your deadlift frequency and volume during this coaching? I know that typically the Starting Strength (and Practical Programming for Strength Training) programming methodology tends to keep deadlifting to a minimum to manage it's impact on the CNS. Most other programs I've seen have more deadlift frequency and/or volume. Do you think this played a big factor in why your deadlift didn't increase as significantly as your other lifts?

Coops got hands!

465lbs looked so much cleaner! Thumbs up!

My high bar squats are not as strong as my low bar squats I noticed wonder if that has anything to do with it

He said. Perform better on the Snatch, COUNT ME IN!!!!

Will they let you sub out lifts? I can only squat with a Safety squat bar and deadlift with a hex bar because of shoulder mobility and a back issues.

Dirty dangle there, Coop.

Coop is the man. Vote coop this November 6th.

@5:50 so true.

Remember the hip drahve!!

Time for Texas Method Coop!

& AndyBaker?💪

Coops dad is Brian Shaw

You will get stronger if you do the program and eat a lot. Gaining 30 lbs of body weight has to be one of your goals. You will be stronger if you are consistent in the lifting program.

You monster

Did you go to Lindenwood?

Hey Coop, you got any reviews for a garage standing calf machine?

Brandon Allen top powerlifter charges 150 for online coaching👍

Review Rennisance Periodization strength program plz

Surprised this guy never took up bodybuilding. Still looks like he weighs about a buck fifty.

I've recently completed Barbell Medicine's free e-book "The Bridge" and had wonderful results. I added over 100lbs to the three lifts, squat, press and deadlift in eight weeks. BBM also does one-on-one online coaching and group programming. I can't say enough good things about their products. Also, If you didn't know, Alan Thrall is a BBM coach :)

Dangles

Please reach out to Stephi Cohen and test out her Hybridperformnace method, would love to see a review on that.

Strength is the ability to"hold" something in place (isometric) whereas "power" is the ability to move something covering distance. Load/distance/time is the assessment criteria. There is a power output in dynamic movement.

they told you to eat more and so you gained stored fat... that helps you lift how exactly?

465 isn't a great squat for somebody who's 6'8", 400lbs like Coop...

I have a home gym because I hate interaction with others - I need an online training program where there is no skype or anything. Just a mix of text messages and emoji's.

Looks like they cleaned up your squat form a lot.

Is that a Seamaster SMPc that I spy on your wrist?

They both looks heavy.

I use Barbell medicine coaching =)

One correction on the $99 Club program; it’s not group programming, or a group environment. Instead of a certified Starting Strength coach, they rotate interns every couple of weeks to coach you. This is the option I’ve been doing for the last month, and the interns are all really great, and on their way to getting the certification. It’s affordable, and probably just about as good as the regular program. I’ll be PRing my lifts in a few weeks to a few months.

I could care less about SS beyond their $15 app. The app for iPad is great. There’s lots of programs that are interesting but I havent found a better easier to use app.

The real question is whether or not the number jumps were mostly just from the weight gain

I am always amazed that there are people out there paying $100 - $200 a month for online coaching, gym memberships, etc. I must be poor or extremely cheap.

I don't really care about weightlifting but my gf keeps telling me I need to be better on the snatch...so I'll give this a read....

Gimme a break.

I think that program is crap. These Coaches are thieves. Nobody needs a coach if they know anything at all about bodybuilding or strength training. Just like U said lift and eat. It is just the Placebo effect. If ignorant people hire a Coach, most of the time they believe that coach helped them when the fact is he didnt help any. I put personal trainers and coaches in the same bucket as thieves, cause they are. I see your getting a kickback cause I dont believe U think coaches actually help people except the 65 yr. old grandmother that has never lifted a weight. Corporate reached out and snatched U up with a thr kickbacks. OBJECTIVITY IS DEAD

Lol those results are a lot less impressive when you consider that you went up 2 weight classes basically

Don't really care about being stronger. Just want to look ripped and athletic so I can get laid 😉

I cannot believe people pay hundreds of dollars to a 'coaching' service that tells them to train less, eat more and avoid cardio! Barbell Medicine has done an extensive deep dive into why SSOC is not an optimal coaching option. Train less should never be the motto. Volume leads to hypertrophy, hypertrophy leads to bigger muscles, bigger muscles move more weight. Pretty sure you are gonna stall on your lifts unless you keep gaining more weight and in turn more body fat or increase your volume. Also, gaining close to 30 pounds in 3 months is not a healthy way to gain weight. More importantly, telling folks to avoid conditioning is a horrible advice. Research has proven time and again that a little bit of cardio is not going to affect your strength gains in any way whatsoever.
