I like how he rejected the opportunity to life coach / guru, and just told the guy to work it out by himself because Mark teaches you strength, and that's it. That's pretty humble.
My whole purpose in life right now, at the age of 62, is to never end up in a nursing home. Eat right! Meat, eggs and a few vegetables and fruits. No sugar, no grain, no junk food, fast food and processed food! Exercise regularly and properly with weights. Sleep good. Keep moving!
gregshock - Yup, agree 100% especially about doing everything possible to prevent from being put in a home! Stay in perpetual motion! A limber body is a youthful body. ☝️🥴
@@jocaingles8464: It’s working good. I sleep better, my digestion works better, I have less pain and fatigue, I move better, think better, my blood sugar levels are better, circulation is better and I’m hitting the iron and walking the hills around my house a few days a week.
I'm not a business owner or manager and perhaps I never will be with my attitude. However, I completely agree with your opinion of not putting in effort to convince someone to do something that they've already made up their mind about, or when they are not motivated themselves. People don't understand me when I say I'd rather use my time helping someone who wants it. Maybe it's in part because I'm lazy and it takes more effort than it's worth. But this is a life lesson I learned in my mid 20s which seems to be at odds with everyone else's extreme effort to produce a "sale".
I’m definitely a Rip disciple. When Rip talks about Strength training you shut up and listen because of his years of experience and knowledge earned. Rip doesn’t quite have it right about “rest homes”. I’ve worked in family owned long term care for 25 years..that’s my experience. Medicaid pays $105-115 a day. We have to provide 24 hr care, all medications, meals, phone, cable, and transportation to all medical appointments. Let me know where you can live with all these services and more for just over $100 a day. We are definitely not well funded like you may believe.
I'll tell you what'll get a man to sign on the dotted line for a gym membership, in fact man OR woman and that's a broken heart. When a person looks in the mirror one day and says "I'm dying and gotta do something about this"... that sets a person on the right path and the right course of action. And there's plenty of broken hearts out there!
Rip seems really cynical aboit almost everything. I understand the attitude, but I don't respect it too much. However the starting strenght book is pure gold an i'll continue to improve my main lifts. Thanks for the value.
I somewhat agree, but I think he's trying to focus his energy where it's best served. As he said, he's 60 and has been defeated numerous times, so he doesn't waste his time on people that don't listen.
Martyn Speck And he's not trying to be more of an asshole than necessary, it's just that most people don't give near as much attention to most things in their lives, but are constantly concerned with "enriching" it further with garbage.
Why do people ask stupid questions over and over? That would piss me off too. If they think they know so much better they should not go in the first place.
Rip is right about not being able to change people. You might get a few but it won't be because you changed their mind. Now he is talking the best example. Politics. We can't do anything about it. Why would anyone vote for someone you know is lying to you? Because people are stupid.
I don't mind listening to Marks political views. We come here to watch his knowledge on strength that's all. Plus I'd rather see Mark be himself then pretend to be someone he's not.
Rip understands how to get strong. But he’s clueless about other aspects of fitness. Speed, aerobic and anaerobic stamina, mobility, these are serious aspects of total fitness, and Rip derides them as a waste of time. He’s proof positive that most people need to stay in their lane.
He does stay in his lane, though. He has stated time and time again that he only cares about getting people strong. He doesn't go about telling people not to train their cardiovascular health, or their mobility. People go to him to get strong, and that's what he does.
@@R3d1996 He has stated in various seminars and podcasts his views on stamina and stamina oriented sports. He's misinformed on those topics and there are listeners who learn bad information from him. You can search for him talking about running or cycling for examples and you'll see what I mean. He should stay in his lane, and he many times has not.
You get more speed by getting strength and you get better endurance by increasing your fat burning metabolism while running. That is how runners who win races change since back in the 60s. All the bs you think promotes these things are what some dumb hs gym coach thinks is how things work. The last exercise anyone should be doing is a marathon for speed even marathon runners don't train like that lol
"Everyone who jogs is skinny?" Hmmm, I see an awful lot of fat people jogging (and running marathons). And so many runners who are "in shape" are carrying something around the middle. It's just not good exercise for optimal health or longevity.
I will never understand the guy asking "what should be my goals?" Dude is your fucking life why are you asking that!!! I mean go to a psychologist if you have a life crisis not to a strength coach god dammit
He puts out good information but his perspectives are definitely very narrow. He thought Hillary becoming president would be the end of the world so theres that. He thinks running is easy then he hasn't run a day in his life. He should stick to teaching lifts and not give life style topics or issues.
Sentry Stout I agree that squatting is important, in fact I think every capable human should be doing basic barbell strength training, but there is some benefits that you get from cardio, like heart health. If you don’t care about health and you just want to get brutally strong than fine don’t worry about cardio but if you care about your long term health you need to do some cardio, I care about health and I’m training to be a firefighter so I have to run anyway.
Ranger 18 yep this is true but once I got into the fire department I stopped running and did training that is actually beneficial to doing my job as a fire-fighter.

Why no grain though? Genuine question.
He makes a great point near the end about seniors!

"Cast not your pearls before swine."
I'm in my late twenties learning that telling people shit more than a couple times is most often a waste of my time, energy and knowledge.
"Do some idiots squeak by? Yeah. BUT! We're in the process of hunting them down and killing them." I love how Mark Rippetoe talks!! XD

I grew up with shovel and wheelbarrow in my hands, windmill swinging a 20 lb sledgehammer. Work, does a body good
Nice shirt Mark... I dig that corp...

He is much more of a realist rathern than a cynic. The latter word is being utterly abused, it means something very specific and well defined.
hi fit
I like to Jog tho...
well; jog on.
Nope, no Hilary...

gunfighterdrummer I hear ya. I had to endure my professors’ political opinions all through college. Rare to hear it swing the other way.
Every dipshit in hollywood gets to smear their poop all over society so why should regular people be quiet?

Funny how when I was squatting 500, deadlifting 585, benching 360 I was MUCH more athletic, much faster and agile and more aerobically efficient
Rip was wrong about Hillary. Even when he's wrong he's right.
Ha Ha no Hillary
LOL. We ended up with a different moron. Rip is still right. We can't do anything about it.
"Everyone who jogs is skinny?" Hmmm, I see an awful lot of fat people jogging (and running marathons). And so many runners who are "in shape" are carrying something around the middle. It's just not good exercise for optimal health or longevity.
We dodged a big ass bullet, and look.. the economy is kicking ass
I will never understand the guy asking "what should be my goals?" Dude is your fucking life why are you asking that!!! I mean go to a psychologist if you have a life crisis not to a strength coach god dammit
TRUMP TRAIN
“Hillary Clinton is about to become president of the United States.”
Thank God that didn’t happen. Trump 2020!
You’re a child 😂😂

Objectively speaking, running is in fact, easier than pulling, say 500 pounds.
