Hey Rip, funny story and a question. Yesterday I was squatting 315 for the first time. My last rep of my last set was a real grinder. Then some asshole ran up behind me screaming and grabbed the bar. He ended up dragging it down my back to "save me". He told me it was my fault because I was leaning forward so much. I will say I noticed he had a CrossFit tank top on. So, that's my funny story. My question is, where should I bury the body?
I’m 6’7 165lb and squatting 75lb. I don’t want to eat more than 1650kcal per day as that would interfere with my bosu balancing progress and I would also like to maintain abs. Any suggestions?
I eat 4500-5000 kcal every day yet I weigh 155 lbs at 5'11''. Two years ago I used to weigh 86 kg while consuming only 2500 kcal daily. I eat more yet I weigh less. And I squat more. Starting Strength is a hoax.
Rip made a comment recently stating, "Running is an assistance exercise." I would love an SS shirt with that statement on it as well as a sticker to go on my truck just beneath my Lifter's window sticker.
If anybody reading this can help, I asked the question at 53:09 about training a younger trainee. Rip is advising that he can not effectively train until tanner stage 4. Trainee in question has since turned 14 and based on the criteria I believe he is in tanner stage 4 (deep voice permanent, acne etc.) I obviously dont want to push him too far too soon but he is really excited about training and his numbers go up every session, 75kg deadlift and 55 kg squat now. Should I force him to wait until he is 15 and if so what can I let him do in the meantime?
Fourteen and having developed a deeper voice, he should be in good shape to train heavy. Personally, I was “fully developed” by 13 1/2, 14 (what doesn’t grow after puberty). I grew 7” in height from 13-21, but wish I had access to serious training while my testosterone was spiking and the body was still growing.
@@TexasElectrician77 thanks for the reply, he is due to train this evening and I was worried. I suppose of he is able to add weight with good form he should right? From what I can see Chase started training at 14 and it worked out well for him!
Scales that estimate body composition by measuring electrical impedance can get in the ballpark, but the measurements vary wildly depending on various factors, the most influential of which is the relative dryness of the skin. If your feet are dry, you'll show a higher bodyfat percentage. If your feet are moist, you'll show a lower bodyfat percentage. The next biggest factor is relative hydration - if you're dehydrated, this will change the reading, and if you have spent all day chugging water, this will change the reading. I own one of these scales, and see a fluctuation of up to 6-7% depending on time of day, whether I've been barefoot for hours or I've pulled my socks off, how "warmed up" I am, etc. If you're trying to pinpoint whether you're at 15% bodyfat versus 18% bodyfat, you're not going to be able to do it with one of these scales. They're just not precise enough. You'll need a dexa scan for that level of precision. However, that doesn't make impedance-measuring scales entirely useless. Provided you measure yourself under consistent conditions (e.g. every morning immediately after taking a shit), you can get a pretty accurate picture of changes in your bodyfat percentage over time, and begin to see distinct trends. I would recommend them to anyone who is overweight or obese and looking to monitor their fat loss over time. For someone who is at a normal body composition, they're not as useful.

Hey guys. I think the editor has had enough fun with the video effect and somebody's gotta tell him/her to stop. Can you guys stop using the video effect that makes Rip's head looks bigger?
Add reps til you get to 12 then add weight. When that stops working add sets until you can do more reps then go up in weight and down in sets and reps again. That progression works better anyway but you have to consciously work at it and push yourself.
@@hasanc1526 When you get to where you can do sets of 12 it's time to go up in weight. I usually do three sets but if progress stalls I will add sets in and this will eventually push me over.
I feel for that guy in the uk. I'm in Italy and the prime minister threatened to close all gyms this week, fortunately it seems like they will LET US train for now, but since we are a couple weeks behind on england and france, I'm pretty sure they will close gyms and sport facilities here as well in a couple of weeks, and of course it's gonna be our fault right? just remember good will hunting: It's not your fault!"
Hey Rip. I'm a 37 year old male 180 cm and 109 kg (I guess about 5'10 240 freedom units). Been deadlifting 190 kg for 5, squatting 177,5 kg for 3x5, benching 100 kg for 3x5. Living in Socialist Sweden I have not had covid affect me much (well, except for the me having had it part I guess). I have been getting back into Muay Thai which I was very into training in my 20's and my goal is to compete again in a bunch of amature fights before I turn 40. Now super heavy weight is 91kg+ and I'm to damn short for that so I need to lose weight to at least close to 91kg. I would like to still get stronger or at least not lose much strength. You have any input on strength training on a caloric deficit while doing a bunch of competing training?
Rip I bought a shirt from your website. The incognito one, nice design. I also purchased the Rippetoe salt mining shirt from Amazon at the same time. The shirt from your operation shipped first and I am still waiting on confirmation from Amazon. I very much dislike buying things from Amazon and on top of the insufficient speed of shipping I am disappointed. I urge you to fire whoever's dumb idea it was to sell a shirt through Amazon and not through your, Witchita Falls operation.
WELL FUCK! I'm really disappointed that my comment on the last podcast didn't make it to comments from the haters! You know, the one where if you took all of the hair off of Rip's face that it would fit perfectly into the top center of his head. Like a key in a lock.

There's nothing new about it, it is the same as any other sniffle people just didn't have immunity which is bad for very old people because a sniffle can kill them.
If people over 40 can progress 5lbs a workout doing one set per workout why recommend people under 40 do more than 1 set for the same 5lb increase per workout?
I don't agree about using more weight with barbell press. The press is the most shit exercise on planet earth. I can easily do one hand presses with 120 lbs dumbbells for sets of ten but not even close to doing a 225 press. The bottom motion of the barbell press has zero leverage and you also awkwardly bob around. The fact no one can just progress on the lift without doing other stuff says it all, it's a bad exercise. With dumbbell presses you don't stall out because it's not an inefficient garbage lift like the barbell press.

The reason I don't want to do sets of 5 like Rip and Dorian Yates is because I don't want my long head of the biceps to be rolled down to my forearm. Dorian tore both his biceps and triceps from doing sets of 5. And Rip obviously tore off his biceps to doing that. Lets train like those dudes......
@@johanhansson4574 you know what you're right. How about we do sets of 12-15 and triple the number of reps we stress our tendons with? I'm sure that will definetely decrease the chances of you getting hurt. Better yet, how about you keep not training and you let grown ups take care of this?
@@Francesco-cj3oi The risk of ruptures goes up with heavier loads. No brainer. Have you ever heard of a 12-15repper rip off the biceps tendon? Or as in Dorian Yates case the TRICEPS tendon......
@@johanhansson4574 dude, are you dorian yates? do you wanna compete? if you bring your deadlift from 135 to 405, and don't fuck up the technique, there is infinetely small percentage of risk of injury. we are talking about powerlifters and people who chose to deal with injuries at that level. you and I and 95% of people willl never get there

about 3 feet and 15 inches under the ground, under a crossfit box gym
Surprised he didnt. Jump back and forth over the bar afterwards and then do a burpee followed by telling you how to deadlift it
@@Francesco-cj3oi Would that be 4 ft 3 inches?
I can **almost** believe that this actually happened but I'm skeptical 😂
Leave the body on the squat rack as a warning to others.
Another here who can testify to strength training helping my depression a great deal. It helped a lot of things, including my generalized anxiety.
I think it completed my "I'm an asshole" identity.
Likewise, brother.
