I've went from a runner , MMA guy 165 shredded as hell at 6 foot to a big strong capable 230 pounder pressing bodyweight and have added several hundred lbs to all lifts. Thanks starting strength 💪
I’ve been weighttraining for 25 years but since I’ve been doing the novice linear progression for the last three months now, my kickboxing performance has gone through the roof and my recovery has improved dramatically ever since I’ve started implementing the nutritional advice that these guys and rep gives. Before that I fell for the bullshit with all the functional and sport specific training and performance was either on or off but more off when I think about it and if I’m honest, but since following these guys and to be honest it’s the simplicity that attracted me even my kickboxing coach is asking me what the hell I’ve been taking when i kick the pads
Bone broths been a long term staple in Indian strength training, felt really good of ur acknowledgement,pretty less amount of people now acknowledges it's true benefits in strength training.
Before beginning Starting Strength I was in the process of finishing out a "cut". I was not overly overweight, but I felt I had essentially been doing a dirty bulk for the last 15 years of my life and decided to drop about 25lbs before hitting strength training real hard on a good clean lean bulk. Anywho, I was nearing the end of this cut, but still losing weight at about 3/4 to 1 lb per week and deer season was starting. Long story short, here I am at 5'11" 184lb, in a solid calorie deficit, alone in a field, and I shoot a pretty large midwest 9 point whitetail buck... and totally exhausted myself in the process of field dressing it. Field dressing a whitetail was something I'd done many times before, but never on that low fuel rations and it totally WRECKED me. I was exhausted. And I was still at a point where I was probably as strong as I'd ever been at the time, but was just not able to perform the work simply due to lack of fuel. It was a not so fun eye opening experience that I will never replicate again. Looking forward to this year where I'm eating more than enough and able to use the strength I've built up in a years time. Currently sitting at 205lb and still happily gaining. Food is fuel and it's a big deal.
What you guys spoke about really makes sense Just wished i listened to ss earlier Will traij myself and my kids your principles Thanks a bunch guys Plz make a weekly discussion both of you.
The eating thing was the truly paradigm shifting information for me when I came across SS. I've been lifting since I was about 13 in 1982, but was being held back, especially in the 90s by bad nutrition advice from BB Mike Mentzer and his corner of the HIT crowd. His advice basically being you don't need hardly any more protein or calories above maintenance to grow. Predictably I stayed about the same size and strength for decades. Changing to the basic barbell movements was part of it too, but the real shift came from the nutrition. Finally in my late 40s I started ballooning up in muscular size and in strength. It's a shame too because I have decent genetics for it too, 6' tall with a large frame; naturally very wide shoulders and 7" wrists, etc. Jesus, I could of progressed like Chase back in friggin' high school if I'd had this program! Oh well. Better late than never...
Gotta be careful taking advice from people taking enhancement drugs. Some of those dudes can lose alot of fat and gain muscle fast at the same time and think that's normal.
Super great to hear two guys who let each other talk have decades of experience and to have spent a ton of time walking their talk and watch the whole thing. Even though " I knew all that stuff" having it put together soup to nuts by two guys who live and breathe this stuff is gold. Not to miss. One Note... a bit of.. how to say it nicely?... 'schizophrenia" here-- the UA-cam audience I guess is mainly 30 and under but the Starting Strength gym clients are 40 and older demographic (am I getting that right?) And so when an ancient creaking geezer newcomer hears about a 600 lb deadlift it's a bit daunting! 🏋️♂️
@@andrewharris3417 he’s using it wrong, he means blue pilled. Red pill actually means that you are willing to learn something new. Blue pill means you will stay in your ignorance no matter what truth comes out. I also think he meant to write BIASED but wrote based. Hes 0-2 lol
I take a bottle of EAA to restaurant when dining out. Adds nutrition and flavor to my watet with lemon. A simple hack to my usual steak and eggs. 🙏🏻👹🏊♀️🏋🏻
@@sandywiggs1007 150g of protein daily is a good place to start. You'll need slightly more than your younger counterparts. I'd be working towards a 225lb deadlift and 185 squat. You'll need to move to 3s instead of 5s fairly soon in your linear progression more than likely. Good luck!
So do we not count protein from a vegetable or grain? I understand they're not complete proteins and I'm not suggesting a plant based diet but just a normal diet with 1g/lb of body weight. It seems to be if we don't count the protein from these other sources we could end up eating so much red meat that we get over full and have a difficult time getting enough of these other foods.
Protein from plant based sources, on it's own, doesn't contain all the necessary amino acids to make it a complete protein. Eating animal based protein along with it is necessary to complete the amino chain. Lentils and brown rice are a great protein supplement to a protein rich diet. Fiber and carbs go way up too by adding the right kind of plant based protein. Lentils prep easy from dry and cook in about 35 minutes. The idea of adding them, along with brown rice to something like monster mash will up your numbers significantly for macros. Last time I ran a strength program I was able to lose weight and add weight to my lifts. It only works for a short while though, and at that point you need to reevaluate exactly what your actual goals are. No matter what, you have to get stronger in order to lift weights that matter in any program. Starting Strength is probably the most proven method to get to your goals, and make the most of your novice, or returning lifter gains.
@@kydantone6358 happy to help. If you're average on the athletic spectrum I don't see why you can't hit those numbers at a bodyweight of 180lbs. 200lbs should be your goal - a solid 200, not a flabby 200. Once you knock off a 1000lb SS total (press instead of bench), go for 500/400/300/200 dead/squat/bench/press and 200lb bodyweight. You'll be glad you did. Good luck 👍
Easiest thing is find a whey isolate that you can drink and have 4 50g shakes a day. Takes a total of 5 minutes. Whey protein it’s literally the highest quality protein source you can ingest, eggs are number 2 when it comes to maximizing protein synthesis. Whey powder is real food! It’s not a supplement. An incredible tool to exploit, most people don’t.
I get what they are saying, but I was 272 lbs on 9/11, couldnt squat ky bodyweight without nearly passing out, and my heart rate was over 100 bpm on average. As of today, I am 210 lbs. I feel much better and i even ran a mile! That being said, I have been on the carnivore diet. When i hit 200 lbs, I was planning on adding raw milk and raw honey. I love the advice of 1g of protein per pound of weight. Im going to incorporate that into my diet. Im looking forward to starting strength! Question: How does starting strength work with nerve injuries? I have serratus anterior palsy and a torn meniscus in my left knee. Edit: nutrition comes first. Exercise comes at the same time or after. Diet is the medicine that cures us metabolically. Added muscle helps the process but athletes that look extremely fit can have type two diabetes... It all comes down to diet.
This was me on my other account and I want to add a thought to it... I was obese and not muscular. If I were 272 of muscle, I doubt I'd have the same issues.
Ok hold on just minute. Stan Efferding's book recommends like 18% protein for weight gain and like 40-45% for weight loss - which blew my mind when I read it. What you guys are saying makes way more sense (consume grams per pound of your goal weight). What's going on here?
Yep, we aren't worried about macro split percentages for the average SS Gyms member. Protein will end up being a larger proportion of your macros if you're losing weight and a smaller proportion of your macros if you're gaining weight. It's hard to go wrong with his advice if you're willing to get that detailed with your nutrition plan. Stan's the man, especially when it comes to nutrition.
The reason is that when you are gaining weight, protein calories are better partitioned into muscular maintenance and gain. Whereas the body when losing weight is worse at partitioning protein and you’ll need more of it lying around to keep muscles repairing. Also for lower appetite people during a bulk it helps not satiate too much, and for people struggling with satiation during a cut, higher protein helps there too.
Ugh. You guys make me feel fat and weak and I hate myself. Been listening to this channel for a while (the Rip days) for information that I can't do anything with 70% of the year. This episode really makes me hate myself. New job can't come soon enough.

5’11 185 pounds is not even remotely small. Theres no way you were even lean unless you were already an advanced/elite lifter.

Count all protein but bias your intake towards animal sources 👍
