Rip would never run for governor because running is not part of the SS protocols. He would be the first candidate to Prowler for governor.

Give Bre a raise, under the condition that she sits next to you in front of the camera during next week's show

I think if you took all the hair off of Rip's face, it would fit perfectly into the center of the top of his head. Like a key in a lock.

Being an Olympic-level Alcoholympian myself, I consider that opening question important. I've been training hard since childhood to bring the gold medal to Vegas when professional drinking is accepted as a sport.

Dear Rip , I am a quinquagenarian that weights in at 14 stone with a height of 17.1 hands. I am a vegin and cannot consume the 3.78 litres of milk a day as per your recommendation. What would you consider an equivalent amount or almond milk. Secondly what is your recommendation for daily soy and pea protein intake measuring in mole per kilogram

Rip needs to be a guest voice for the King of the Hill reboot

I was recently hiking in a national park and many people were hiking with masks on. Up the side of a mountain, 200 yards away from anyone. Insane.

A barbell is what you ring to summon the bartender.

The “swimming backwards like a lobster” question was really funny

Best "Comments From the Haters" in a long time

I have found the organized movements of the Starting Strength programming to be quite helpful as a firefighter. We have to tote some heavy rolls of hose, ladders, etc, and SS program has helped me to be more organized about developing those muscles and the endurance that has resulted.

2:16 *Question for the Q&A:* Dear Ripp, I have not read the books-or a book-nor watched the videos, and I'm not doing the program. My question is: Can I do Starting Strength, but replacing squats with gallons of milk, and deadlifts with biceps curls? And in days I don't feel like training, replacing the curls with Instagram posting? What I'm really concerned with is abs. Thanks.

"some country where names are all fucked up" you never know what Rip is going to say that will send you into a peal of uncontrollable laughter!

Holy fuck, 22% of all money was printed this year. Always informative content boys cheers.

One of the best episodes ever!

Texas Method, if you're over forty, you can probably do it if you extend your week to at least ten days, ie adding one more rest day between each workout.

As enjoyable as per usual Rip, cheers!

As a registered Bulgarian I can tell you, old fart, "Bravo for the simple, crude and effective way of training that you have developed over the years!" Have been training for 24 years now and arriving to the same conclusions. Never red a single page of your book. Just listening to the podcast. I like you and wish I could hit you sometimes. Good man!

Does anyone else think that Bre is writing all of the comments from the haters from fake accounts?

Let's all send in a billion questions asking what a barbell is.

“Following the pillars of infection control prevention is not an act of obedience. It is an act of kindness and generosity that protects not only you, but it really protects everybody around you.” --Steven Stites, chief medical officer for the KU Health System

We do have a great governor here in Florida. Let him know if he needs to come sort your state out. Probably won’t take more than a weekend

These episodes always make me hungry..... for lobster.

The Fire fighter advice gave me a big billy laugh...Thank you for that.

Hi Mark! Before my question just would like to thank you and all the SS staff for puting great content and information. Every time i followed your training principles and guidelines i improved all my lower back pain. I would like to know your thoughts on deadlift grips (mix grip, hook grip) and muscle imbalances. And i would also like to know why sometimes the "prehab" stuff may worsen lower back injuries, because i felt better since i started cutting the "core" stuff and went straight to the barbell. Thank you for your time.

Fresh of breath air right here!

at 24:30 mark, it's a brilliant question and ties to everything, make an independent video with this segment it's important stuff, although I don't think you addressed it perfectly I believe the case to be true

Pink Man Bad

I felt like Rip gave a clear answer to all the haters of 3 sets of 5 reps. The question is will they hear it.

Hahahah 😂 . Love u RIP, keep answer heater's like that

Rip is my power animal.

Comments from the haters is on a whole new universe this week.

the Poconos aren't really mountains but hills and is a beautiful forrest area in PA

Hey Rip, thanks for acknowledging Hungarian being a hard language to learn :o) some of us over here do it while being about a year old :)

Omg I love this guy! That intro 😂😂😂

If you CAN shrug on a deadlift, add weight to the bar.

I wonder what the difference between MED programming done at barbell logic and private coaching done by SS. I imagine it’s pretty similar because Matt Reynolds and Rip were pretty close.

Mark, I wear my mask even inside now, just to make sure there's no chance of getting infected. Did you know masks are 100% effective?

Subscribed because of covid common sense talk

Rip fantasizes to a New York map every night and then cries himself to sleep.

I think Rip should run for Governor of Texas

poconos are in pennsylvania

The Arbuckles are ancient and majestic and full of casinos

Last one is a romanian probably, u lobster..:)))! Greetings from Romania!

Thanks Rip. This Covid thing has made me so depressed because it has put into visual form the prevalence of blind compliance and lack of critical thinking within our society. I live in an area that wasn't as heavy-handed as many places, yet I see so many people wearing masks outdoors and in places where they aren't outright required. And all my local politicians are campaigning on the explicit idea that "protecting kids from viruses" has to be a permanent policy. I'm at a breaking point. I'm homeschooling my kid and only going to stores not requiring masks. The masks are not only creating direct conflicts between "dissidents" and "enforcers," it's having a deeper psychological impact on us by creating an emotional barrier. When I walk by someone at work, I always smile just as a sign that I'm a friendly person. With the mask, nobody sees my little smile and I don't see if others smile at me. I'm finding myself having somewhat negative feelings about others because everyone seems un-friendly. All for a virus?! I can't take it. I'm so sick of the "killing grandma" guilt trip. Young people are committing suicide and people who have worked hard to build something for themselves are seeing it all crumble before their eyes for NO reason... this following the strongest economy of my 36 year lifetime? I'm beyond pissed and I'm ready to move on to whatever needs to happen next.

But I like the insane questions.

ice cold dip 20 min can cure cancer

Hello Rip! As a professional horse rider, I am interested in your horse background. Can you tell something about it? Best regards from Germany!

Please make a "Comments from the haters" T-shirt, stocking hat, sweatshirt, etc. At the very least a T-shirt. I will buy!!!!

Where are the questions pulled from?

1:03:50 The epic semi-recovering alcoholic segment.

Those emails from haters are funnier than sh&T! I can see how they can piss you off too - while laughin' ur ass off -- spinaltaneously.

185 cm is closer to 6ft1 than 6ft

2022: now we have a phrase for young men wearing a mask outside; mass formation psychosis.

RIP is right about the trapbar when you Get over 240 kg it is shit.

GOMAD and icing my balls changed my life. Still waiting for my lobster claws to form tho.

Wear your masks little ones

Oh yeah

What is a Patrick Bateman?

Mark it's not blind obedience if you can't enter your work building without wearing a mask.

Live lobsters that can swim are greenish . Dead cooked lobsters are reddish

00:01:42 watch piggy giggle.

Why the disrespect to the young firefighter? You had the opportunity to provide guidance but instead you belittled the guy for no logical reason.

The Starting Strength program obviously doesn’t work! Why else would Rip be getting fatter, balder, and pinker each week!

40:09 😂😂😂

Katz deli closed years ago. Sadly

Talk of alcohol is so foreign to me. I get my pleasure from a different drug, and it never hangs you over

I for one only watch these Friday videos wearing (at least) two masks, lest the Texan Lobster creature named Rippetoe who doesn't trust The Science infects me with Covid spores through the series of tubes we know as the internets.

Lmao, Mark says use momentum to get the barbell row off the floor. Don't use your muscle and perform strict reps, because that will build muscle!

I'm a A hole!

Rip is so cute when he tries to educate those people with "degrees." His entire system is literally one part of one class of one semester and is entirely covered in one chapter of a degree in exercise science. 😂😂😂

Would be hilarious if Rip contracted Covid and got in intensive care /s.. I am not in disagreement though

Vegetarianism in India is pretty caste-related.

First

The whole discussion about RPE was of low quality.

40:00 Lmao!

It's super interesting how rip talks about slave like obedience without ever realising he thinks talls and acts exactly as he has been told to by the alt right media. I guess the true slaves are those who think they are free.

Imagine making comments about mask wearing when you have zero knowledge or expertise regarding public safety,the hubris
