Rugby while doing SS? A person would literally be spending all of their time training, shoving food food in their mouth, sleeping, and sitting on the toilet....
i was doing shuai jiao while doing starting strength a while back and that was exactly what it was. i was doing gomad + pound of steak a day and weighed 155 at 5'10" lmfao.
I fucking love Mark so much. He is the goat to me. He helped me how to squat after COUNTLESS trainers and tips from dozens of insane good squatters like Dave Tate, Max Aita, Louie Simmons couldnt do shit for me. He breaks it down and makes sense on every level and his level of honesty and realness is genuine. I dont care if he is abrasive, he is just being honest. Iam the same way. People dont like me/us for it but Iam just telling you like it is. You WONT get up and cook your eggs and oatmeal and take care of yourself like you should, which is what separates the men from the boys and the real lifters from the fakes.
I'm an intermediate lifter and rock climber, and I'm not that good at either because I do both. I do enjoy doing both, and since I'm in good shape and almost 40 I feel okay about it. lol
@@jamesianv I currently eat about 4k cals per day. I can and have eaten more, but climbing is about being light, and powerlifting is about moving more weight. They are not very compatible activities. lol
Back when I was in high school sports, I had no clue what I was doing. I could have been a much better athlete if I ate like I should have and trained the way I should have like in starting strength.
That's just your ego talking. The reason you were not a better athlete in high school was...you just weren't a good athlete! You didn't have the genetics to be good. No kids in high school know about this shit....so the playing field is level. And the fact you didn't do better was you just weren't that good...you can't hide athletic ability and no amount of eating or strength training is going to overcome your lack of athletic ability. Rip would agree.
Yes, I was dumb enough to play rugby. Thanks for the reference. Was able to add 5 to 10 lbs per week to my squat per week. Recovery sucks at an advanced age. I have to space squats and dead’s every 10-12 days to recover properly.
Thoughts on replacing squats with reverse lunge and barbell rows with weighted chinups in starting strength? The direct carry over it had to baseball is too good to ignore and I still want to run the 3x5 while in off season
Baseball players checking in! You are very correct about the chin up. Weighted Chinup at a total weight (body weight included) of 200 lbs is key to throwing 90.
LoL, Kids eating enough and going to sleep at night? Nah, they'd rather drink, bang and eat crap food. They call it "YOLO", I believe. They think that's "living." By the time they get it, they're no longer kids. So I understand why you enjoy coaching older people so much.
There's a reason there is not a single collegiate or professional athletic program in the world that will go near these guys. Take anything these guys say with regards sports training with a huge grain of salt.
the basic point it you can't from what i've seen, their programme is too demanding to do sports with. It's a real shame, as I play college tennis and really like it, and because i'm just starting it's not affecting my performance yet. I'm 38 though and know that i'll have to choose one and eat well to recover properly.
moikanos11 by “these guys” I mean Mark Rippetoe and every Starting Strength coach. They have no clue how to train for a sport but speak and write like they do. It is fraudulent.
@@abiriax I’m in the exact same situation. I actually took an entire year off of tennis and conditioning work to focus on the program, and eating more food.
Mine too, unfortunately he lives with his mother (my ex) during the school year. In the summer the weeks he's with me I make gigantic breakfasts and feed him protein round the clock.

It’s called „living the dream“

Nah. People dont like you because you are annoying and a dumbass. Not because of your "honesty"

If it ain't broke, don't fix it!
eat

@@harveyts3 are you still doing both?
@@lambsaucehunter9316 yes. Although now I am 40.
Back when I was in high school sports, I had no clue what I was doing. I could have been a much better athlete if I ate like I should have and trained the way I should have like in starting strength.
Richard underwood completely agree
yeah man ditto. I knew NOTHING about this stuff when I graduated HS in '92
same here.....

Your working out too hard if its taking you 10 days to recover.
How do you know you haven’t recovered properly? I’m curious as someone who hit 36 and just started lifting.
@@benjamintpoon you go to the gym and you can't do the same weight or more than you did last time
Great pep talk
My Rugby coach told me to get the starting strength book and just follow what’s in there
Love that shirt, do you have a link for it?
Some people just don't have a good appetite, even at 16.
Drink full cream milk.
Can you talk about scoliosis ?
I second this question (I've got Scoliosis).
What if you are doing some sort og grappling (brazilian jiu jitsu), and is trying to improve your strength as an adult novice lifter?
We’ll have your answer on next week’s episode!
Starting Strength any link to this discussion? I’m very curious about a similar topic.

Try 5/3/1, oh never mind this comment is 5 years old😅
Hopefully coaches and young athletes are paying attention. Pack some peanut butter sandwiches kids!
Youre not gonna are ya?......
Damn. Harsh words but so true. It's not all rainbows and glitter and everybody gets a f*cling medal because they showed up

honestly, not sure if anyone's unironically said "YOLO" for nearly ten years now

yeah this is off season stuff. Still 3 months at 5 lbs a week followed by a 10% deload is still an increase of 175 lbs a year.
who is "these guys" ?

= my son 🙄
Make him breakfast then
