Lmao when he starts with “if you want to skip my lil rant” and the time stamp is 43 minutes in. Definitely gunna have some non pc shit in this one, can’t wait.

Comments from the haters segment is getting epic.

I'd ask that if Rip is interacting with folks off camera to mic them up so we can hear them better.

I wait tables at a small restaurant and I went to take someone's order yesterday and they yelled at me to back up. Now if you are that worried about this, what on earth are you doing in a restaurant? The reason, I believe, is that people think that it's our responsibility to make sure they don't get sick. We take ample sanitary precaution, yes that's our responsibility, but if you are that worried about the kung flu nothing that the staff at the restaurant can do will keep you from getting exposed.

Here in New Hampshire 10% need hospitalization, the biggest hospitals had to furlough staff and cut hours.

The info on where in the video to fast forward to was awesome! How to start back up in getting back to the gym and where to start from was great especially since the example of the squat in the mid 300s is where I was before the virus stuff. Thank you so much and if in future videos you could post where to fast forward to in the description it would be very much appreciated.

Swede here! Will not have any problem getting back to the gym because I never left! It has been and still is open as if nothing happened! No problems at all! I'm in better shape than i have been for the last couple of years! Yeah, we have been trying to do all the good things with keeping social distance etc. But gyms, restaurants, bars, shops etc have mostly been open all the time. I guess that it's partly due to the normal suspicion of being to close to another person that is "built into" the normal Swede. You won't see us kissing the cheek x amount of times. so keeping a distance to another person is normal to us anyway! You all have to ask yourselves : how long should this thing last? To the fall? A year? A couple of years? What is worst? 1000 people dying of Covid19, many of which are very ill, old (or a combo of both) where many would have died soon anyway or 10000 younger people dying of the consequences of losing your income, your family business, being alone due and cut off from the rest of the world due to a lockdown etc? Which strategy has the highest probability to work in the long run? The total lockdown or the more cautious one?

I love Rips rants! We agree on 98% of everything!

Rip, your last few podcasts have been fantastic. Thank you for clearing out some of the 'dead wood' around here and speaking common sense!

I don't think they ever expected the average death to be at the life expectancy or over it. It's quite funny actually.

Skipping forward is not in the program!

Great content as always 👍

This is my favorite video on the internet.

Would something like Wendler be good for coming back to lifting? I've had good results with Wendler in the past so I know it's a good fit for me and if I started with the deload week, it would take 4 weeks to get back to relatively heavy-ish weights and the plus set at the end would allow me more room for error in estimating my current strength level, because if I undershoot or overshoot, I will just autoregulate to make up for the difference.

Thanks for the timestamp advice. I love your show. Happen to respectfully disagree on a few political matters, so it's really cool of you to let us know where we can skip to in your show. Always looking forward to the next episode and hope to attend a seminar someday.

I love the starting strength wooden sign but it's bothering me as a tradesman that the font is not level 😂 Good episode big guy

At 1:03:13. I intuitively knew this it being my first day back I'm broke all the way down and gradually work my way up to 225 even though before all of this went down I was reaching 280. It is very important to take your time give yourself be afforded opportunity to feel where you are then if you can do more do just a tad bit more and feel Where You Are just to set yourself up for the next time you work out this is a great podcast.🤔

Is anybody doing this? I am, by week 2, day 6 it's going well(never thought strength coud comme back so quickly) but I think it's getting really hard. I've been making 22lbs(10 kgs) jumps on the squat and deadlift but I fear tomorrow I'm going to fail at doing that. The last rep of deadlift felt knocking on the door of a limit effort....:(

Best advice I have heard from Rip in awhile.

You explained very clearly.

I was at 285 in squats for 3 sets of 5 before COV. I did 3 sets of 5 my first day back at 195. I was pretty sore, but had no problem doing the second workout 48 hours later at 210 (I might need bigger jumps). I guess I did the same (about 65%) Rip mentions here, so I guess I didn't go too high. Back in high school, I tried to do the full routine our coach told us to do after a 6 month lay off... I literally couldn't walk for about 24-36 hours after that. So I learned my lesson haha.

I literally agree with everything you say. I’d get coaching from one of your facilities..I’m in Maryland 😞

Those 18x24 posters are a good idea. I just scanned them from the book (or the web...don't recall) and printed them to pin to the wall, but 8.5x11 prints are a bit small.

Rip, that works fine if you"re just doing squats. But what do you do that first week back with your bench and deadlift? Do you perform all 3 lifts M-W-F, using the same, ease- back- into- it approach?

thanks rip

Please consider offering the one day home training seminar for digital sale as well.

I wish I heard this in time. I did a bunch of high reps and lost a ton of strength:(

We've been lied too. They can't call all of this just error.

It was a big adjustment when my gym closed. I've since built my own gym and won't be going back. I do miss the social aspects of going to a gym and of course the eye candy.

Thanks for time codes

2019: "Rip, why do you always talk about the basics so much?" 2020: "Rip, why are you so smart?"

I’m just here for the rants

“Hama”sexual 😂😂

Would be great if you’d make the franchise and associated training courses available here in the UK too.

Not a hater comment, but Rip looks pinker than usual.

The Haters brought it this week! One positive thing we can attribute to COVID is giving the Haters more time to Hate.

Thanks Mark!

Good to hear the haters, not too insulting! 😀

after two weeks off, i went in, did the exact same workout i did two weeks ago that was a week ago, i havent trained since, i have been limping for days wtf my inner leg is fucked. the squats were heavy but then i was set to do light sumo deadlifts and the first warmup my inner legs just went... Going to do 70% of the weight and half the volume this week, 80% next week and 3/4 volume , 90% the next week and 100% volume.

Mark, I have been following you and Jeff Cavalier for about a year now. Thank you for keeping me from getting hurt and continue to add weight to the bar!

Love the instruction at the beginning to skip to 43:33

I suspect we'll see a high injury rate as people ignore this advice and try and max out on day one.

This's the best video of this season. Thanks for sharing. Saludos from Puerto Rico.

48:36 That is Exactly what happened to my, a coudn't barely walk for 5 days.

Here for the rant

I wish you would also speak a little bit about ladies and older people. I was on the end of nlp. I've gotten back into the gym and 75% my max. I was treating it like starting over the nlp with a higher weight. Being a gal I incremented by 2.5 pounds, just wondering if I should try and up it by 5 lbs.

Man, that Bre cuty is such a snack

Well fuck if this didn't hit the nail on the head. My last squat workout pre-virus I completed 365 5x5. Wednesday (20th) I squat the first time, warming up from bare bar to 335 and doing 3 sets of 5 at 335. I could feel my quads beginning to cramp mid workout which is unusual for me. Today (22nd) I'm still quite sore. Fortunately I had been deadlifting. Interestingly I was only sore in my quads and abs, probably because deadlift kept everything else somewhat trained.

Keep it up Rip!!!!!!!

I’m stuck in jersey waiting for the gyms to open.😡😡😡😡

good point on the shut up about things outside your profession. I have been guilty of saying this myself.

I have to thank you Rip. Watched this before I went to the gym for the first time 14 months(had surgery) It all felt lite but I kept saying to myself remember what RIp, said also you want to be able to wipe your own ass tomorrow. lol

What about doing pull ups dips and push-ups?

Good point about the idiocy of people only having an opinion if they are a so called expert on something. What if experts are taught wrong things sometimes. It's like saying a mechanical engineer pointing out plate subduction might not occur because even being generous to mainstream geology a plate would break apart due to exceeded shear stress of the rock before it could even begin moving or that the plates are comparatively buoyant to the mantle they are supposedly subducting into. Its like a geologist ignoring the info and just going lalala. Or an electrical engineer in plasma physics pointing out to an astronomer that rather than dark matter holding Galaxies together it's the plasma you can clearly see underpinning it's entire structure even more so in infrared. But the single 30 something astrophysics PhD with a long greasy ponytail can't accept that because his identity is wrapped around the tosh he's wrongfully devoted himself to rather than shaving and becoming a responsible adult. Or you can't work on a car unless you're a mechanic. Or it takes an electrician to turn on a light switch. Knowledge is knowledge and accurate info is such regardless of whose mouth it proceeds out of. If doctors want to ignore the fact that lifting heavy weight on the basic barbell exercises would solve many problems they have to deal with far more cheaply because their education has blinded them then it will always take an outsider or someone cut from the same cloth to have a different perspective. Applies to everything

Skip rants? That's why I'm here dammit! let it Ripp

Nobody skipped. Probably everyone only watched the first 43 minutes haha

Agree Rip, BUT, if I would have just lay down on my ass drinking whisky i would have "FATTENING" the curve. So AMRAPs/EMOMs and general exercise with dumbbells, dead lifting with relatively heavy kettle bells and and so on kept me in good shape and as a mega bonus, lower body fat percent... But i surely miss TRAINING and EATING loads of food after a heavy set o FAHVE... Thanks for the guidelines about coming back to training, will implement them!

Can't I just periodize my abs training?

LMFAO!!! Best Comments from the Haters EVER!!!

43:33 that’s hilarious!

Can skip anything but not comments from the haters!

If only we all had the magic crystal ball...

I like the fact I don’t have to wear deodorant because social distancing.

Nick is in the back, making new email addresses for his dozens of KZfaq accounts to post funny "hater" comments .

Funniest INTRO ever!!!!

"Skip to" 3/4 of the podcast LOLOL

I LOVE the comments from that particular hater, need moar!

Shit gets real at the 27:00 mark, hahahahaha!

Around 43 min mark starts the good stuff.

lol ima leave the video once I GET to the time stamp!

100% facts

Love the belly, Mr. Coach!

Perfection. 🇺🇸 Great delivery of logic, and honesty. God Bless Rip.

He’s not concerned with looks. HAHAHAHHAAHHA!!!

The boog made it in 😂

Fuck skipping, I live to hear Rip rant. A) He tends to say what I'd like to say but better and B) he reminds me of my late hubby in his curmudgeonlyness. (Yes, I may have made that word up but I stand by it.)

I fucked up... I thought my old 335 lbs squat meant I could come back and start at a "modest" 265... bad idea, don't be like me, people. I felt a bit stiff, pushed through the workout anyway, noticed next day that I had seriously pulled some of the connective tissue in the lower back. Hurt like a bitch for 72h and I couldn't train anyway because of hamstring soreness.

I enjoy the politics. Rant away to your heart's content.

Pastor Rip, please mic your staff... pretty please..

I tune in mostly for the rants and screaming.

Don’t skip the rant. Rip is just stating what a great many of us think about the current insanity and nonsense.

Reminds me a bit of Alex Jones. Rip should be a guest on his show or vice versa; or maybe Joe Rogan.

I live in southern Massachusetts and we got slammed, I have no idea why the rest of the country shut down when they didn't have any cases, very silly.

47:00 Is this the so called muscle memory people talk about?? You can get back to your last weight in half or less of the time it took you to get there.

Wonder if any politician understood that turning off the economy would destroy the world supply chain when RIP made this video.

Wonder if Rip thinks stopping New Yorkers travelling across the US spreading this thing was an overreaction. Would he have welcomed a coach load of Italians coming down to his town in March?

Hospitals in financial trouble because they can’t extort large sums of money from patients? 🤔 Maybe it’s time insurance companies and big pharma take a hike

What the hell are you talking about?!? The whole reason for watching Is to witness your “rReactive Assessment to Nonsensical Topics”, or RANT! The world has lost its damn mind and there needs to be MORE Starting Strength reaction to all of this ridiculous shit. Please,, continue.

Rip, they don't care about the numbers. Ask yourself what circumstances might prompt this idiotic, illogical and dangerous act? Perhaps because they have committed a much more horrible crime than this (or plan to) and this pales into insignificance by comparison.. Prepare yourself and your family and friends sir.

4:36

You're fun but your voice needs audio balancing. I don't know whether to turn the volume up or down. Be loud or quiet. Make a decision. I don't care which you do as long as it's consistent.

Rip you were WRONG! Today is August 8 and deaths SOARED to a total of 11 in your county according to worldometer! Apologize or else I’ll continue to watch your videos and recommend to friends.

Seminar go have rip make fun of your form and questions lol I'd pass

Rip, you silly! Don't you know that math and science are part of the patriarchy? Still locked in in Michigan.

😁

Rip’s right. If we don’t have access to barbell’s, we should quit exercising completely. As we all know, exercise is horrible for your heart health. We’d all be much better sitting on our asses and doing nothing for 3 months.

Does this community construe all criticism as "the haters"?

More house arrest is coming.

I think I'm afraid of Mark Rippetoe.

LOL! Everything is not "just fine" in Sweden. A better comparison would be these east Asian countries like South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, etc. 95,000 people dead in the USA because of COVID and people in this country are numb to it.
