"18 is like being on anabolic steroids." SO TRUE! The problem is we don't realize this until we are far past 18. Recovery time is what takes the biggest hit as you get older, imo. Take advantage of it while you can.

What a nice guy. Hope que achieves his goals. Also hope this podcast returns to KZfaq.

Hi Ryip, I'm 8 years old, 3' 7" 536 lbs and my squat has stalled out due to my gut rebounding off my femurs before I can descend into the hole. Should I add more volume? My vertical is 5" at an RPE of 9 for reference.

I'm 6'10" 135lb, I'm on POMAD and eat half a tin of tuna on a saltine TWICE a day. Why won't my squat go up?????

I was waiting on him to say that he had a pop tart for breakfast

Personally I start my morning off with a basket of fries dipped in melted butter , 2 hours later I’ll eat 2 whoppers with onion rings . My pre workout meal is half a cake 🎂 with ice cream . Post workout 3 Big Macs . My before bed snack I’ll eat fried chicken with a bowl of gravy and a huge bowl of taters mmmmmm . My bench is going up along with my blood pressure. I hv an ambulance on speed dial tho in the event of a stroke . Im able to use my fat to help me rebound on the squat.

Rip cracks me up every time. Like a cantankerous uncle.

At 6'0 he's a big guy, I'd recommend he put on at least 200lbs and get to at least 380 for his joints to work properly (I'd say 500 but I don't want to scare him). Sleve McDichael was 4'5 and weighed 800lbs, and he was a champion in that weight class. You need to eat more food, son.

Best bit of advice was right at the end.

“Three 🥚’s” got me cracking up

I go to dialysis centers and tell them to swap out the dialysis fluid for whole milk.

I am 59. Discovered Starting Strength. Bought the books, learned the lifts, bought the shoes and started eating. I went from 5'11" 186 to 254 in about 7 months. I am truly amazed at the weights I can lift. I wish I would have started before I was 58. Loads of fun pushing my body every workout for a PR. Will do this until I can't. I don't remember being uncomfortable eating.

Milk and peanut butter jelly will get you swole! We use to down those all the time when i played football lol. Oh and fast food haha

One hard-gainer guy I talked to said "the meal starts when you feel full".

Can you guys do an episode on food tips for us bulking in a budget? This was great!

This is brilliant

So many times people have told me they "can't gain weight", when I ask them what they ate today they say "nothing", I tell them "I've eaten 3 times already today brah, you have to eat more".

I wish I would have discovered this program 20 years ago…

The vertical diet is the way to go

I filled out so fast in two months , lifting consistently but it’s about the extra calories and protein. It was a game changer.

What do you think about gallon of yogurt a day, instead of milk? Greets

Rip, stop messing around with these short videos. Bring your full podcast back to YT. I drink about 2 cups of milk a year.

Hey guys you can get upset with the math if you want but he's right you just have to get uncomfortable eating I know it's tough and especially if you and your twenties you used to just being 6 ft 185 170 you've never seen 205 and you feel good starving yourself for some strange reason but you want to get bigger and stronger it's not going to happen unless you started getting uncomfortable eating

Can we see the full podcasts please

I'm 5'10 and 205 pounds with a 1580 total... and I eat about 3500 calories per day

I just put down rice and meatloaf made with pork and beef...haha speaking of ground beef and rice

“Be a more faithful lover.”

You knew exactly how this was gonna go right from the beginning... 😆😆😆

If people started counting calories it would be so much easier .. You have a certain number to eat like 3000 or 4000 and you eat all those calories in a day regardless of how you feel. It just simplifies everything

"what did you have for breakfast" OMEGAKEK

I'm eating 6-12 eggs per day, 2 litres of milk, 500g mince beef. Gonna up the beef to 1kg and the eggs to 15.

Eating is the hardest part

Don't the sell ground beef by the gram and not pound in Nova Scotia?

That's my nephew

'what did you have for lunch?' *begins to describe the logistics of moving from work to home*

I am 7 foot 4 675lbs and I only squat 1650lbs. Why won't it go up???

"How much milk was in the glass"

Is insulin resistance a requirement for starting strength coaches?

load the bar.

He needs some MEILK !

156 lbs at 5 foot 6.5 how much weight should i gain? I bench 260 squat 300 deadlift 345

Harris, you can also add whey to the milk your drinking for easy additional protein and calories. A level tablespoon of oil, grease, butter, nut butter (including Nutella) is 100 calories to everything you add it to. Don't just eat toast, eat toast with something on it. If you don't naturally eat a lot of food, eat ground meats because they're easier to shovel down. Rice is easy to shovel down because it's small. The more you chew, the fuller you feel, so eat things you don't have to chew so much like chili or a big batch of pasta and meat sauce (w a LOT of meat) and a small cut of pasta. A variation in of what Nick said: go get 2 lb of 80/20, cook it an don't drain it. Measure out the amount of dry pasta that you need to meet your total carbs for the day, cook it and add it to the meat. Then, you don't have to be fancy just throw a jar or so of Prego in it. When it's finished, turn off the heat and leave the pot on the stove and eat it all day and don't go to bed till it's done. Bake a bunch of chicken thighs and shred them up. Soak them in bbq sauce, leave it sitting out with a package of buns and, every time you walk past it, make yourself little barbecue sandwich. If your lifting and your sleeping is on point, the only thing standing between you and your goals is the food on your plate; so stare it down and eat it.

-I love milk -Well, love it more 😂😂😂

Maybe release show to youtube a month or so after initial release in website. 🤷

Rip’s advice will ensure you get to pet the 🐈

Fairlife Whole Milk. More protein same calories. Also lactose free.🙏🏻👹🏊‍♀️🏋🏻

Wish I had that problem.

It's true if all you care about is getting stronger, but it also sounds like a recipe for an eating disorder especially for people that young

I think there are fans of the program who get a kick out of getting shit about their weight. I imagine they are laughing as they hear rip giving them shit

Need to stress that 4000+ calories a day is not the best idea for someone in their 50s.

I'm 6'0 265. Eat big and lift heavy

this morning...what did you have for breakfast?.....

3 eggs? I eat 10.

I’m so tired that most people don’t know how to ask a question in a decent, efficient way. They have no idea what context is and how to organize the essential information in a quantifiable way. Basically they are wasting everybody’s time.

Ídk man, i feel like these dudes dont consider the money you have to invest in eating 5000 kcal a day. Im a student, and im trying to eat as much as possible to not lose any weight but i also dont want to GOMAD my life away lol.

Im 6'1, 290 lbs, 40yo why the hell is my recovery time like 4 days? I can cut that down to 2 days with protein shakes and beef, but i will gain like 5lbs a week, i don't want to be heavier, i want to be stronger.

As a 52 yr old I miss the days I could eat whatever the fuck I wanted. Eat young dude. EAT.

Milk is not the way lol

Milk is for babies! I drink beer!

Lol 😆 eat more see of your weight goes up and then eat more if needed

1,6-2,2 g of protein per kg of BW is all you need. This dude needs to up his carb and fat intake

In all fairness he is 18. He is a novice at this. Some guys just don’t know enough to know. He needs some guidance.

Why are u calling us 😂😂😂😂😂

I discovered Starting Strength beginning of this year. I'm 6'0 n' 31 yrs old. I started at 200lbs beginning of the year. Now I'm 240ish. Milk helped a lot. I'm becoming obsessed with gaining weight. I got a gut, but it doesn't bother me because I'm all around bigger.

This is a great way to get fat. Studies have been done on overfeeding and eating 5k calories a day is going to be marginally better at building muscle and great at making you fat.

The time to worry about health is when you're 18, not when you're 50. Heart Disease and Diabetes are progressive diseases that develop slowly over years and most of the damage is irreversible.

If food is the answer, then money is the answer. Food is $$$$

An 18 year-old man weighs at least 280 lbs

So they told this kid to go and eat a KG of ground beef, and almost 4 litres of milk per day?! 4500 calories from just milk and beef? I hope to god that the guy didn't start following this advice.

What's the point of lifting a lot if you're obese? The fat literally covers your muscles

Starting Strength is the best book I've read on fitness or training. It's arguable that as a teaching resource The Art of War and Book of Five Shperes are superior books on training a physical art, but only because they have an enormous scope the encompass nation state power. However the scope of Starting Strength extends beyond barbells and holds deep wisdom. The Art of War may teach you how to conquer a nation but Mark Rippetoe will teach you how to both make the argument that a nation should be conquered and how to defend that argument against all comers. The Art of War and Book of Five Shperes simply do no offer the same lessons on in intellectual defense of ones positions. Mark also offers a few very detailed paragraphs on how to perform the exercises. While the ratio of exercise information to pages on why you should shut the fuck up and do the lift regardless of dogmatic voices saying to not do the lifts is, questionable Mark does make such a good case and support it so well that even when you're hurting you'll turn to barbells you help rather than sitting on ass. Regardless I will walk away from this book with very serious levels of knowledge and understanding in barbell exercises. Like career changing knowledge. Now I don't usually compliment Mark or several tons that is his staff, but I wanted to confuse them so I thought I'd give my sincere gratitude for the body of work they've built. I assure you that my next comment will be nothing but hate and insults.

TACO BELL

Very disrespectful not letting him say what he usually has for breakfast. What he had today might not be representative of the usual breakfast for him

This video loads forever. Can't watch it.....why?

TLDW: get fatter

Udderly disappointed in this young man.

Is eating 2 pound of meat a day normal in US?

5000 calories per day? Pretty sure he's not looking to get fat. Sure he'll get strong, but 18 year olds also want to get laid.

That bs about pasteurised milk is as good as raw milk is just hilarious.

Mark is always so rude lol

Austin Baraki squats 600, deadlifts 700, and weighs about 190 pounds. I assume you think he’s genetically gifted?

My 9 year old son eats more then this kid.

Sounds more like they want you to get fat?!

Get these other guys off. This was better when it was just Rip.

Raw milk and pasteurised milk is nutritionally the same?? 🤦 perhaps he can give advice on programming calories but definitely not on nutrition 😂

A pound of beef a day? A gallon of milk a day? This is terrible advice and food obsession
