Hey Rip, funny story and a question. Yesterday I was squatting 315 for the first time. My last rep of my last set was a real grinder. Then some asshole ran up behind me screaming and grabbed the bar. He ended up dragging it down my back to "save me". He told me it was my fault because I was leaning forward so much. I will say I noticed he had a CrossFit tank top on. So, that's my funny story. My question is, where should I bury the body?

Another here who can testify to strength training helping my depression a great deal. It helped a lot of things, including my generalized anxiety.

In the immortal words of Ronnie Coleman, "Everybody wants to be a bodybuilder, but nobody wants to lift no heavy-ass weights."

Rip made a comment recently stating, "Running is an assistance exercise." I would love an SS shirt with that statement on it as well as a sticker to go on my truck just beneath my Lifter's window sticker.

I made it on comments from the haters! I'm not a hater, but, I am happy to make it on the vid. 6:53

Rip is a National TREASURE. Really

I’m 6’7 165lb and squatting 75lb. I don’t want to eat more than 1650kcal per day as that would interfere with my bosu balancing progress and I would also like to maintain abs. Any suggestions?

Rip is like a piece of jagged, hardened steel. Unfortunately steel rusts.... and in Rips case..... turns to the color..... pink..... :D

rippetoe's open mouth when that guy said he was from the uk was the funniest moment of all the podcasts ahahah

Awww man I thought you were going to say "throw thousands of gallons of whole milk on them"

Rip, can you share some stories of doing some of the classic old lifts with Barney Rubble and Christ of Nazareth?

"can you imagine a 500 pound zercher" Guess rip doesn't have the mindset

Hey guys. I think the editor has had enough fun with the video effect and somebody's gotta tell him/her to stop. Can you guys stop using the video effect that makes Rip's head looks bigger?

55:58 _I'm a fifty-FAHVE-year old female . . . I do FAHVE sets of FAHVE, FAHVE days a week._ - Perfect numbers 👌

Scales that estimate body composition by measuring electrical impedance can get in the ballpark, but the measurements vary wildly depending on various factors, the most influential of which is the relative dryness of the skin. If your feet are dry, you'll show a higher bodyfat percentage. If your feet are moist, you'll show a lower bodyfat percentage. The next biggest factor is relative hydration - if you're dehydrated, this will change the reading, and if you have spent all day chugging water, this will change the reading. I own one of these scales, and see a fluctuation of up to 6-7% depending on time of day, whether I've been barefoot for hours or I've pulled my socks off, how "warmed up" I am, etc. If you're trying to pinpoint whether you're at 15% bodyfat versus 18% bodyfat, you're not going to be able to do it with one of these scales. They're just not precise enough. You'll need a dexa scan for that level of precision. However, that doesn't make impedance-measuring scales entirely useless. Provided you measure yourself under consistent conditions (e.g. every morning immediately after taking a shit), you can get a pretty accurate picture of changes in your bodyfat percentage over time, and begin to see distinct trends. I would recommend them to anyone who is overweight or obese and looking to monitor their fat loss over time. For someone who is at a normal body composition, they're not as useful.

1:03:41 _Shit, I forgot to be racist._ Rippetoe, Rippetoe, Rippetoe . . . one cannot forget to be racist. - _"racist" = "being white."_ - Get on with the times!

Yet another splendid broadcast Rip.

Thank you for the birthday wishes Starting Strength :)

If me wanting to pet Rips fuzzy little head is wrong I don't wanna be right.

I feel for that guy in the uk. I'm in Italy and the prime minister threatened to close all gyms this week, fortunately it seems like they will LET US train for now, but since we are a couple weeks behind on england and france, I'm pretty sure they will close gyms and sport facilities here as well in a couple of weeks, and of course it's gonna be our fault right? just remember good will hunting: It's not your fault!"

Every time you see Bre on a thumbnail for one of these videos, that's Starting Strength calling your bluff on your threat to Unsubscribe.

3:25 *THIS* STATUS: [ ] MADNESS [ ] SPARTA [X] RESPIRATORY VIRUS

Yes! It's FRAHDAY! And I'm almost unsubscribing!

"She's drinking the blood of children!"

Starting Strength and Strong Lifts are great beginner programs to get started. Outside of CrossFit these programs gets people training with barbells

Hey Rip - in accordance with your app and the Classic 5x5 classic strength training what is your opinion on the training principle

If anybody reading this can help, I asked the question at 53:09 about training a younger trainee. Rip is advising that he can not effectively train until tanner stage 4. Trainee in question has since turned 14 and based on the criteria I believe he is in tanner stage 4 (deep voice permanent, acne etc.) I obviously dont want to push him too far too soon but he is really excited about training and his numbers go up every session, 75kg deadlift and 55 kg squat now. Should I force him to wait until he is 15 and if so what can I let him do in the meantime?

Thanks again Rip, this time for the laughs

To the guy asking about the one arm pressing check out Martins Licis; Worlds Strongest Man winner who still trains the bent press.

I met someone who preferred to look up during the squat teaching method. In accordance with your book strong enough, you owe me eighty million dollars please.

Rip I bought a shirt from your website. The incognito one, nice design. I also purchased the Rippetoe salt mining shirt from Amazon at the same time. The shirt from your operation shipped first and I am still waiting on confirmation from Amazon. I very much dislike buying things from Amazon and on top of the insufficient speed of shipping I am disappointed. I urge you to fire whoever's dumb idea it was to sell a shirt through Amazon and not through your, Witchita Falls operation.

Haha this is great!!

My son has brachial plexus injury. He can only do Zercher squats.

From the peanut gallery: The English don't really say their Rs. Its a schwa R. That's the Queen's English. Car = Ca. Brother = brotha. The American R comes from the Irish. Germans are the same as the English.

The RA question was fantastic. Gotta grab the barbell prescription in my next Amazon order

If you make people unsubscribe then you are doing something right because most of these channels are forgettable, just noise.

This video gets a thumbs up after just the first 10 seconds 🤣🤣

Coukd you folks clip the part about making injuries heal? I think a lot people miss the mark on that one!

Hey Rip. I'm a 37 year old male 180 cm and 109 kg (I guess about 5'10 240 freedom units). Been deadlifting 190 kg for 5, squatting 177,5 kg for 3x5, benching 100 kg for 3x5. Living in Socialist Sweden I have not had covid affect me much (well, except for the me having had it part I guess). I have been getting back into Muay Thai which I was very into training in my 20's and my goal is to compete again in a bunch of amature fights before I turn 40. Now super heavy weight is 91kg+ and I'm to damn short for that so I need to lose weight to at least close to 91kg. I would like to still get stronger or at least not lose much strength. You have any input on strength training on a caloric deficit while doing a bunch of competing training?

WELL FUCK! I'm really disappointed that my comment on the last podcast didn't make it to comments from the haters! You know, the one where if you took all of the hair off of Rip's face that it would fit perfectly into the top center of his head. Like a key in a lock.

Go fart in an elevator then ask the other passengers how well their masks work... yeah... wooops!

39:30 ALWAYS it's those people... Oh,and the ''experts'',too

I use lifting straps for my workset dead lift. Should I not? I ca't hold the bar without them for all the reps

😂🤣 "so anyway, buy the damn thing"

Cool coffee mug.

Rip, do you think Are you afraid of the dark will ever come out on Netflix? I really like the scary stories.

I would buy that shirt

How can I progress on my curl strength? I know 5lbs a session isn't possible for something like bicep curls so what would you recommend?

What do you think they were investigating in the area of the building where the planes hit? The missing 2.6 trillion

One person form Astra Zeneca's vaccine program died. Cheers

i want a t shirt with a gallon of milk bottle

The more I watch him the more he resembles a chayote in my head. It's almost hypnotic

37:41 to 40:48 needs to be a SS Radio clip

There's no pandemic anywhere.

Stoop is what they call a porch in the UK.

SS Radio is what keeps me going nowadays. Cheers Rip, Rusty, Bri and all the other "hommis eckshulls" behind the camera. And no, I'm not "based out of" the UK.

They don't do push ups in the UK. They do "press ups" lol. 😂

Rip, the epitome of Texan aesthetics

Rippetoe 2024

Where is the link to get the shirt??

Here is a criticism: I use to respect you, but now I respect you more, almost a respecrnlove now keep. And how dare you keep up the good work like you have. How dare you be helpful. I will not unsubscribe after all of this.

Pink Man Bad 😤

Vietnam won the war against the US and the war on covid. Maybe we can learn something.

Tanner stages is charactarized by pubic changes...... How is a coach to determine a tanner stage...

🍻🍻⚡⚡

Great video. I just wish the reverb was real.

This is NPR-level serious

The covid gon git chu!

Covid has turned rip from a cool old pink man into a scared old pink man.

He is NPR voice serious

I honestly think masks work, even the one you have. By work I mean, to catch some water droplets getting out of your mouth. I guess even the fetish fishnet mask that you have could hold a water droplet or two. Thanks for being responsible, Uncle Rippy :D

If the dude only knows what's on TV in Vietnam...then how's he watching this podcast?

Unsubscribed.

He's getting older and pinker by the video.

You haven’t been thanking mark wolf for your introduction recently and it’s thoroughly disappointing

Wait Wait!!! I have to be a REAL hater to get on "comments from the haters" well shit! How are people going to hear me roast Rip aka Hans Moleman!!!!!

RIP has pink privilege.

Damn!

What's that English boys name I will lend you the equipment..... tom

Novel Virus means it hasnt been previously seen or recorded. How is the coronavirus not novel?

First! Ha ha! Doh...

The mug is ironic since the scientific concensus is in favor of masks, if I'm not mistaken.

6:34 LMAO

If people over 40 can progress 5lbs a workout doing one set per workout why recommend people under 40 do more than 1 set for the same 5lb increase per workout?

Furry rodents and felines 👍🏼❤️🐰🐯

Rip, clearly you loosing your white supremacy status you getting pink by the week, just stick to drinking a gallon of milk a day. Also can you look into discussing in detail the draining cumulative effect of the deadlift on the body, correct programming and recovery from it.

Some stupid ass word for it... lmfao

WHILST!!!

Hahaha

I don't agree about using more weight with barbell press. The press is the most shit exercise on planet earth. I can easily do one hand presses with 120 lbs dumbbells for sets of ten but not even close to doing a 225 press. The bottom motion of the barbell press has zero leverage and you also awkwardly bob around. The fact no one can just progress on the lift without doing other stuff says it all, it's a bad exercise. With dumbbell presses you don't stall out because it's not an inefficient garbage lift like the barbell press.

HES SO PINK

57:28 Rippletoots

🤣🤣🤣

Rip's prediction that because of the pandemic response Trump would win in a landslide is looking real dumb right about now...almost like Rip doesn't understanding politics....

I have read program routine it very bad that u proscribe to squats to 3 times. U will end up in wheelchair because u have dried joints

First

The reason I don't want to do sets of 5 like Rip and Dorian Yates is because I don't want my long head of the biceps to be rolled down to my forearm. Dorian tore both his biceps and triceps from doing sets of 5. And Rip obviously tore off his biceps to doing that. Lets train like those dudes......

Stoop
