That's my goal

I've been Honored in the forums but still not managed to make it to the radio

Roasted me in real life when I met him in a deadlift workshop at a Starting Strength gym. It was one of my life's highlights

Been there.

Not everyone wants to be 250 pounds 30 percent body fat, if someone wants to be smaller and lean and respectfully strong then that shouldn’t be a problem.

no kidding. that's a single cycle, with a deload week. the program is not the problem, the lifter is the problem.

@@Mantorok12 A single cycle where you’re going no heavier than 85% for a set of 1+. Im gonna bet this guy decided he didn’t need to take a training max and just ran the program at 100%

@@davidmb3376 Not even that tbh. He most likely overdid in the accessory work. Volume is so low on 5/3/1 that even if you do the work at 100% you shouldn't get tendonitis after one bloody cycle.

@@user-vm1nn3ey3t not to mention at 5’8 and 165, he’s probably eating like a rabbit

@@davidmb3376 I will say BJJ is super grip heavy. Tendonitis is common. Adding lifting (probably overestimating his max?) Was probably the straw the broke the camel's back

5 by 5 gives faster strength gains compared to wendler.

@@rajivsingh5120 whats the rush?

They laugh because the same kinds of people have been asking the same questions for over a decade. It's only a joke to them when you've heard it and answered it politely 70x7 times.

R&R, training and nutrition, all equally important for maximizing strength gains

Most androids are...

Wow

No I can’t

Absolutely! 6 hours a week and especially if a lot of it is hard rolling, it will certainly fuck up your body at this age. Will have to sleep and eat a lot and train very very smartly.

Indeed, what's with the obsession of being huge(ly fat)? You'll feel and look better being closer to brad pitt in fight club than a fat dudr with a higher bench press.

Those are my numbers right now, maybe add a quarter of an inch too I guess. I outperform these tub of lards in strength which makes it even more pathetic when you realize that if you put a wig on them, people would mistake them for ugly pregnant women lol

@@pocnit but fat dude with higher bench press and squat literally tear Brad Pitt like a piece of paper

@@jaja-nw2ft Yeah no, maybe 20000 years ago. These days whoever has a knife or gun or more friends or the element of surprise would win. Realistically speaking most people will go decades without a single fight, it's FAR more important to be healthy and good looking.

@@pocnit training Starting Strength can make you good-looking and healthy

Guy didnt say he does BJJ and weight training the same day. I'm assuming here that he splits his BJJ and weight training days. His issue is his weight and strength, hes sore from the weight training not the grappling. If he's grappling then training he needs to cut that shit out. THAT BEING SAID my 114lbs girlfriend used to grapple (pre-covid) and weight train the same day, 2 hours grappling and then maybe an hour training, yes mostly machines and a little barbell training, but she ate like a fucking horse she'd put me to shame at the dinner table after a session.

@@davekooper 2 hrs grappling plus 1 hr weight training? Are you sure this is a she?

Yeah. You and, what?, ten other people are the only one's who've ever wrestled, boxed, or trained BJJ.

@@davekooper Dave, if he’s rolling and lifting on separate days then that’s even worse, he’ll NEVER recover...better to consolidate the stressors and give yourself a recovery day...as someone who spends a lot of time on the mats AND was a one time competitive lifter, I’m telling you that you can’t do both at the same time and max out your potential in both, one or the other will suffer...sounds to me like the guy is worried about strength right now, so walk away from the mats for a few months and eat like a horse and run the SS LP...

@@HAL-dm1eh Yup I've no reason to make it up, I'd originally advised her not to as I was worried she'd wear herself out and end up with an injury. She hated weight training before grappling, that would always exhaust her, otherway round she found fine. She wasn't deadlifting the, 300lbs this dude was pulling, but she'd only started the gym around the same time she starting grappling so her numbers werent up there.

You need some milk!

@@dragonchr15 Al ready on it. Gomad, flank stake and quart butter shakes pushing 700 lbs ripped. Already gained 45 lbs its sick.

Can you tel me what 5/3/1/is? THANKS!!

@@wjvlodek8769 search " 5 3 1 program " on google, program by jim wendler I think

Program designed by a very good former powerlifter "Jim wendler" it runs of %'s of your one rep Max in each of the big lifts (bench, deadlift,squat,over head press) the 5-3-1 comes from the rep ranges. Week one is 3 sets of 5 reps 65-75-85% of your one rep Max week 2 is 3 sets of 3 reps 70-80-90 week 3 is 3 sets first set is 5 reps of 75% next set 3reps of 85% an last set one rep (or more if you can) 95%. Hope that helps, Lord bless you

@@user-ud2pu8ij6b THANKS J...Much appreciated!!

@@Thelightningman100 THANKS...I'll check it out!!

I hate rippetoe and clicked the video because I wanted to see why it was suggested... But he does raise a point. If you are stalling you should eat more...and if your girl is upset that you are gaining a lil fluff because you are strength training (which is to be somewhat expected) it is time to maybe address that with your girl or seek a new relationship.... Because it seems superficial my dude Side note. 5/3/1 is a good program... But he is asking this random dude on the internet with his own training ideology to advise him on a program that is based In someone else's ideology... It is flat out stupid.

@@PenguinzFtMFW You make a good point and I agree that asking about a competitor's training plan is in poor form. The way around that is don't answer the question or state that you cannot comment on a plan with which you are unfamiliar. Making fun of someone because they disagree with you accomplishes nothing and is childish. As for gaining weight being "superficial," not necessarily. Being fat has long-term health consequences. While most younger guys can go through a "bulking" phase and then lose the fat quickly, that's not always the case. It's much better not to get fat in the first place - trust me. And I stand by my statement that telling something to find a new girlfriend because they disagree with the Starting Strength method shows cult-like behavior. Starting Strength is just a workout program FFS. As much as Rippetoe wants to be "Uncle Rippy" to his followers, he is no guru and Starting Strength is neither a religion nor a way of life. Anyone who thinks otherwise has other issues.

5/3/1 is much better for long-term progress than SS, by a long shot. It’s also much more customizable and even enjoyable, at least, for me. 5/3/1>SS, and it’s not even close.

Clearly, sarcasm is lost on the dull of mind.

@@hadavisjr Clearly, you didn't read my entire comment. Sarcasm or not, SS is a cult. Have a nice day.

Great insight, Thanks!

3 years later…how did it go?

This.

The perfect marriage of training programs,, every newbie should start with SS LP and take it out as far they can and then transition into 5-3-1. I;ve done this many times when I've had to restart due to time off or covid. Currently doing 5-3-1 ,, 63 and getting stronger each month.

Youre not wrong, but following a cookie cutter program to the letter isnt right either. You can and should deviate from the program, but not without understanding the principles behind why it works.

That's the dream for a lot of us.

Right on!

What’s your OHP?

@@jusplayin3815 135 on a good day Hahahah 125 1 rep max

I call BS

@@hadavisjr I’ll send videos you send me a btl of whiskey along with your apology

Each lift.

Paras radio kanava

Come on man. 205lbs at 5'6 is a bit much. If he put on 20lbs and busted his ass more he would be good to go.

@@72Dexter72Manley72 agreed. And I didn't mean gain 50 lbs overnight, but if 50 lbs of bw in say a year adds 50 - 100 lbs to the big 3 lifts... Idt 225 bw is unreasonable. Just my opinion.

@@dadbod488 I got what you were saying. I still think 50lbs is too much weight to add on, even over 4 years. But think about a guy who is 5'6 and 205lbs. He is not trying trying to be elite. He just wants his numbers up. I think he said the guy was in his late 30's. It's not like the guy will gain 10lbs of muscle at his age, unless he is in his first 2 years of doing any training at all. If the guy busted his ass in the gym and gained weight slowly, he could get his numbers up a lot more. I think his effort is lacking. If anything cut back on the BJJ training to 2 days a week.

@@72Dexter72Manley72 I know when I started training the big 3s I was about 165 bw at 5'9".... I sit about 205 now and it added a TON of poundage to my big 3. I thought I was just weak (I was, and still kinda am lol) but I was also way too small to move any considerable numbers. Knowledge is also strength 👍

@@dadbod488 Great man. But you are 3 inches taller than that guy. 205 is probably great for you but not for that shorter guy. So that's why I'm saying if he puts on 20-25lbs slowly he will be good to go. His bench and deadlift will jump up. But of course he has to bust ass. The only lift he will struggle with progression on is The press.

It's possible but it's bad advice and people shouldn't do it.

5/3/1 is jim wendlers program it's a simple strait forward approach to training for size and strength. It is great if you want to go up slowly over a long period of time. If you want to go faster and push faster go with SS. I don't because I work in the construction field and three full body days drive me to the ground. Up to you I suggest buying the 5/3/1 and beyond 5/3/1 on amazon books it's like 20 bucks.

Oh and also get fat because “recovery”.

Not tolerating the intensity? It’s his first cycle of 5/3/1. The heaviest you’re going is 85% for a set of 1+. And it’s gonna be pretty hard to get fat if you’re 5’8 and 165 unless you eat complete shit, train with minimal effort, and do zero conditioning work

If you can’t recover from a program with as low volume as 5/3/1 after a single fucking cycle of the shit, somethings seriously wrong.
