We need Joke time with Rip. Everyone, send in your jokes to Rip for his weekly joke segment.

SS Radio is something to look forward to on Fridays

Well no negative comments here unfortunately, but glad I found Starting Strength. Started strength training at 56 and really appreciate the info.

Good ole Wichita Falls, I spent many moons there as part of my AF technical training after completing basic training back in the 90’s. Of all places to watch the movie Twister when it came out in 1995. Ah, the memories.

Whoever wrote the description and put time spots for a table of contents you're amazing. Barely a mention of the actual questions I love it.

Rip, I recently started to tune in to SS Radio and have been thoroughly impressed. I love the comments from the haters, it really makes the podcast. Thank you for creating quality content, both informative and entertaining. Also, I vote for more jokes too!

Big Z said if you want to get strong, squat, press, and deadlift (with a barbell). I'm paraphrasing. I heard him say this in an interview. It seems like with the increasing popularity of strongman, there are more people focusing on for example log presses and stone lifting and farmer's walks than they do spend time on barbell pressing, deadlifting, and ... more deadlifting and squatting (with a barbell or maybe a SSB). You have to build a base, then build the base some more and do some strongman training for the specific events in your upcoming comp. Of course, posting log lifts on Instagram looks way cooler than getting your strict barbell press up, so the temptation is there to look cool all of the time, especially if you add chains and bands and glitter and unicorns, too.

Love the intro. Relaxing for some reason

Mr. Rippetoe, thanks for the joke about the Thermos; I laughed my ass off with that one; a great way to start the day/morning; be well sir. Namaste

This clip is hilarious! Ahahhaha thank you so much poppa Rip !

Preach about raisin bran. Even adding almond slices, a whole box.

Keep it up Rip!!

I agree with the fact that a 125lbs man no matter how skilled could not beat someone who is way heavier and stronger than him and has a similar set of skills. Still there are many testimonies of people who fought bruce or saw bruce fighting saying he was putting 200lbs men on their asses. But until there's proof of it, unfortunately it's just a legend

Really enjoy getting to see this each week. Thanks!

You are not wrong at the end there. I fell down the stairs in December of 2016. Did something to my sacrum that has never healed. Done physical therapy and had numerous doctors look me over but it just hurts all day, every day. At first you think you can manage it but after a while it just drains everything from you and it is a struggle beyond that to make anything of the day to day.

The voice in the intro was awesome. I did actually think it was post production too

Holy clipping , Batman!

16:12 cool seeing rip acknowledge how he relates to Dave

I have always thought of you as the The Dave Ramsey of training. Both have immensely changed my perspective on those topics.

Bottom 2%er checking in. Y’all should clip that elbow tendinitis section. I think a lot of people could benefit from that.

Keenan Cornelius, multiple times BJJ champ said : the most important things for jiu jitsu are strength training, then jiu jitsu. Should tell you all you need. Look at Andre Galvao, Rosimar Palhares, huge roided dudes for their heights, throwing others around... guess why they are on roids ? One hint : strength.

They puff up potato chip bags with air. Even Lays knows about the Valsalva maneuver.

Re: Zero G "exercise" I have a 'machine' (Inspire FT2) in my home that allows me to produce force against an external resistance - it uses two stacks of weight plates, pulleys, and many options that attach to it, but, those weight plates work because we have gravity here on earth. A machine with similar characteristics could work in space, if the machine, instead of using weight plates, used something like hydraulic pistons to create the resistance, instead of the weight stacks. I understand there is nothing better than barbell training with the novice program for someone doing NLP - but in Zero G, barbells don't provide resistance, because you're not pulling them away from the force of gravity. My machine, while not a true substitute for the barbell, does provide some interesting options - there is a smith bar, and there are 8 pulleys to which attachments can be attached - one of the attachments is barbell shaped. I mention this because, if NASA was to use a machine that uses some of these principles, but with hydraulic pistons (assuming they work in space - and if not, they'll have to figure out a viable substitute), they could solve the problem of losing muscle mass and bone density, at least to some extent, because they would be using force, producing force against the external resistance of the pistons - and they could build a device that produces the same opposing forces that a barbell produces, by having different pistons working on different planes/axes. If you have pistons that simulate the resistance of each of the x/y/z planes, and have them be adjustable based on speed and rebound (just like for a dampener, aka 'shock absorber' used with vehicle wheels), and also allow for adjustment of the load - how much resistance is necessary to move the piston - this could solve the problem. There are a number of manufacturers that produce a number of types adjustable of shocks for vehicles, and they work in conjunction with springs, but that's another topic. I'd suggest it to NASA, but I live in Canada, and so I don't have a voice - I'm nobody to them. I wouldn't have anyone's ear, even if I could explain the mechanics of it - but if you could somehow get someone at NASA to understand how SS NLP works, and then make them understand how they could emulate barbell training by using a barbell type of 'attachment', attached to a series of pistons that could be calibrated to produce force in opposition to the force being produced by the user, that would solve the problem... Imagine a cage in which a user in Zero G would stand, and there are pistons placed around the cage that attach to cables that attach to a barbell, so you could do the squat, the deadlift, both presses, and so on, inside the cage, with the pistons providing the resistance. But what do I know. I just come up with the ideas ... Like the idea I had 25 years ago to create a fire extinguisher using an EMP...

Go on Joe Rogen podcast, that would expose Starting Strength to SO many new people. I bet it would be pretty interesting to hear you guys discuss training.

My brother, who was apparently listening from the other room, asked, "Alex Jones eats four bowls of Raisin Bran???"

How do you blood flow restrict your hip? silly question rip, you tie up your aorta.

Once a month a full episode of "COMMENTS FROM THE HATERS" please. Best podcast on the net, fuck Rogan!

Kepler’s Belt, not Venus. The Expanse is an amazing show.

What do yal THink about Body Building Excersizes for strength?

Just a bit of info, Chris Barnard, was the first to successfully conducted hart transplant in Cape Town South Africa.

"Reservoir Dogs".....helllooo!

Astronauts should use spring-based or elastic band - based stuff to exert force and thus work their muschles. Elasticity does not go away in zero gravity :o)

If Rip went to Mars, there wouldn't be a video of him planting a flag. He'd load about 1800 on a bar, and do a deadlift.

Share the designs, Rip!

Hi Rip, I'm 64 and have been on the NLP for 4 years. My squat has gone up from 45lbs to 185lbs, press from 45lbs to 65lbs, deadlift from 135lbs to 170lbs, bench from 45lbs to 90lbs. My body weight went from 205lbs to 350lbs while drinking a gallon of milk a day, which I have been doing for the last 9 months. Should I add more milk or go vegan? Actually none of that is true. I am trying to feature on comments for the haters, but I'm not allowed because I love you, Rip.

That first comment from Monkey Brain is the exact same thing my mom use to say to me when I was acting out as a kid... I think Monkey Brain might be my mom...

The bear joke was awesome. I had heard it before, but it was as good the second time around and maybe even better. I think I'm gonna hunt bears in the woods, too.

What's more effective / ideal? Training 4 days a week: Mon, Wed, Fri, Sat? Or Training 4 days a week: Mon, Tue, Thurs, Fri?

Any recommendations on a nutrition book anyone? I have yet to find something complete that is "it".

muscle binding was a problem in 1956 lol

Stars come in sets of 5

There Will Be Blood, 5 stars

Gym is closed due to coronavirus how can i keep my strenght levels same at home????

Dude from "Homeland" played McQueen. I don't see the likeness.

Didn't rubberband training start for exercise with astronauts?

Bruce was an avid recreational lifter. Several biographies claim he increased his body weight from 135 to 165 for a period of time. The goodmorning actually took him out of commission which required extensive rehab and he continued to have chronic debilitating back pain til his death sadly.

Rip, why do you say "Fri di" instead of Friday? Do you also say "potatas" instead of potatoes?

Keto and Carnivore has taught me how to eat on purpose, not just because. Keto and Carnivore do not mean to restrict calories, they mean to restrict carbs... That being said, I don't know how the heck you eat 4000+ calories without carbs.

Rip you have to appear on Rogan's show coz he has largers viewers than yours so your program been heard by larger population

Some north american tribes were savage as hell. I love it but holy hell were they intense.

How would the two factor model for training and practice work with bodybuilding? What kind of practice could the trainee do on non training days that wouldnt impact their ability to recover from their strength training?

I think RIP has been practicing BFR on his head. 60 years old and already long his mind and his hair...

13:10 Goodfellas is five.

13:33

poor brie

weierstrass and cauchy invented calculus.

Mark, what's your ethnic heritage?

32:45 who witnessed that if both of them were killed?

Hateful Eight is a 5

if mike tyson bench 225 for 20 and Uncle Rip bench 600 for 1. who would you rather get punched in the face by?

Every time I've thoroughly known a book, the movie based on it was crap, continuity being the main offender.

I doubt Bruce Lee was mythology. There’s a perfectly sensible explanation as to why people thought he was strong. It’s because he was strong. And there’s a perfectly sensible reason why he would have been strong. Because he talked a lot about the value of strength training and also wrote about his workout routine in his book, which revolved around sets of barbell squats, power cleans, bench pressing, and supplemental barbell lifts. At that time, a common belief in martial arts was weightlifting would make you bulky and slow. Obviously that turned out to be false.

21:40 I know you like long messages, so here we go.. Your conclusions about KETO, are wrong. Salad is keto, being under 20-30 carbs/day (eat as much as you want). There is no caloric restriction in keto - you eat when hungry until you're comfortably stuffed (yes, not eating empty sugar calories all day will result in less meals per day - probably only two). You just answered your "fainting after 2 days dilemma" - with all that water also go the electrolytes (simply replenish them). You need 3-7 days to go into ketosis (so you don't need to wait 2 years for training), and full fat adaptation occurs in an average of 84 days. Saying it doesn't work without doing correct keto for 3 months, is like saying SS doesn't get you stronger without doing the full program. Keep in mind, adding bad fats & "vegetable" (grain) oils and complain about inflammation, is also like hurting your back and blaming the dead-lift instead of your poor execution. Eating flour like a fattening farm animal is not a "balanced diet". And keto is not a diet - eliminating poisons from you plate is not dieting. Keto is just a "fancy" word deriving from the natural metabolic state of producing ketones from fat, for energy. I'm on keto for 3 years, and no, you don't need carbs to train - there is no such thing as an essential carbs. I feel you're missing out on this - just try it the right way.. you can go back to milk and cookies anytime.

Just so you know bruce lee was 141 pounds, not 125 pounds.

''Barbell precipitation''🤦‍♂

Tyson Fury, heavyweight world champ, looks like he doesn't lift. Yet he has a 250kg deadlift. So he must have found something useful with that... just sayin.

Rip would rather blame his MAMA for a squat induced injury then the squat. RIP do you enjoy the sight of man squatting before you?

Wow. 5x5 heavy deadlifts are not systemically fatiguing compared to sets of 15? News to me. Also, while low rep heavy core lifts are a useful addition to part of a boxer's training for strength, so are exercises more focused on muscular endurance. Rip is so wedded to his program to the exclusion of all else he becomes quite blinkered. Rip also ignores weight classes: someone 4xstronger than you is unlikely to be in the same weight class.

Shit. second

First

I don' understand those haters, really! It's not mandatory to watch these videos, nobody holds a gun to their heads to do so. I don't agree with many of the political, social, environmental or medical views expressed by Rip and his guests, but I am not here for that and I don't have to listen to that content, don' I? Guess what, I just can skip it, just like that! :)) Bunch of whyning self-righteous snowflake wankers, who don't understant shit about freedom of speech! On the funny side, I'm just finishing the book (Starting Strength) and after listening these videos, I caught myself reading it in Rip's voice, lmao :)) Too bad I did not have that book 25 years ago, I wouldn' have waisted so many years in the gym doing the wrong things, aka. 'bodybuilding' :)

I think you're cute.

"We have a certain demographic". They're called Homuhsekshuls

People don’t appreciate camels PERIOD.

I don't understand the refusal to do the Joe Rogan podcast. You're getting a great free opportunity to promote SS why not just take it... You've always seemed to put forward two mutually exclusive views regarding the broad application of SS methodology - on one hand you say that it is the best way for everyone to get stronger and live better lives (a point which I'm totally on board with) but, on the other hand, you've claimed in the past that you/the organization are "narrowcasting" only to a small segment of the population who are smart enough/receptive enough to listen. Well which is it? I don't think you can have your cake and eat it too in this case, because it doesn't take a rocket scientist to understand the concepts of progressive overload or to learn how to push and pull a barbell. There are more barbells in more peoples' hands then at any point in the past and I/we/you want to see SS continue & maintain at the front of the pack and not take a back seat to the BRANDING success of things like Crossfit/Stronglifts/etc. etc. The long form interview format would be great to get these ideas across to millions, or tens of millions, of new viewers. Does SS need the extra spotlight? Not really. Does Rip need to "prove" anything to anyone by going on one of the biggest podcasts on the web? Not really. Does the SS model require legitimization by being advanced on that sort of podcast? Not really. But we don't do things because we NEED to, and we don't pick up heavy objects and put them down because we NEED to. We do them because we know that tomorrow we will be better off for it. Your reasons of 'it takes too long' or 'I don't feel like doing it today' are the same exact reasons that an unmotivated novice trainee would say in the gym and you would rightly yell at them and tell them to shut up and do their hip draaahves x5. Please just do the damn thing. And who knows you might even enjoy it... Just a random opinion from a random person on the internet. I watch the podcast every week and am a big supporter, keep up the great work.

Well Rip's not the smartest man in the room - first heart transplant was done by Christiaan Barnard at Groote Schuur Hospital

Ya know if high pulls were useless Olympic level weightlifters wouldn't do them. Watch some training videos. They do them.

You forgot (or didn't know) that Bruce Lee was among the first fighters that was lifting weights to get stronger. He added 35 lbs of mass (weighting 165) to his 5’7” frame. After that he realized that being stronger and bigger DOESN'T mean being better fighter and went back to 135 lbs But how would you know any of this stuff? You are the only one that is right and everyone else is wrong or/and stupid.

Carbs aren't bad for a metabolically healthy individual... They seem to be terrible for someone with type 2 diabetes... A good portion of Americans have type 2 diabetes. Keto and Carnivore help to resolve that. Once it is resolved, then carbs become a powerful macronutrient in weight lifting.

The most pretentious podcast on the internet. Ladies and gentlemen, Starting Strength Radio.

I gotta object to the belief that "you can not train without carbs". That's bit misinformed imo and the reason I say this is because of gluconeogenesis occurring; as long as you eat enough protein you won't deplete your glycogen stores - this has been shown in recent studies. A strict keotgenic diet will impair your progression and result in the immediate future, however we do not know the impacts of a ketogenic diet after fat adaption has occurred (i.e post 6-12 months of being keto). Not a lot of people have tried this (lack of anecdotes) and no research has been done, as far as I know, in regards to this. Furthermore, ketosis have shown a bunch of health benefits such as anti-inflammatory upregulation of gene transcription, up regulation of BDNF:s (brain-derived neurotrophic factors) etc etc. How does this impact strength and training in the long run? We do not know.

Get the off-camera guy a Mic. He sounds like a whiner who can't get in the party, because he sucks.

You know nothing about space rip! how many billions have you spent on making this machine of yours! No billions means the machine is bad!
