  • Rip talks about wanting what you do not have. If you want to get big and strong, you have to accumulate strength by growing your muscles. Stress, recovery, adaptation.

    Could not agree more. As a 50 year old who has been a keen cyclist all his life, being big was something I always avoided. That was until about 2 years ago when I started looking at older cyclists in their mid 50s onwards and thought to myself “you are so skinny, you look ill”
    Rip’s book got me started and I haven’t looked back. I’ve managed to gain 10lb, but building muscle at 50 is bloody hard!

    I 5'8. I worked hard to get up to 175 pounds only to realize when I got there that I actually felt better when I was lighter. Today I'm about 165. 9% body fat, as opposed to 15% at 175. A little less muscle now, but in exchange I'm faster, more explosive, better stamina and cardio, better endurance - a better overall athlete, and i actually look visually stronger at 165 than a 175 even though I'm not, because the lower BF% makes me look more vascular and ripped.
    Size isn't everything. For me, being a balanced athlete worked best.

Sure, I looked better with my shirt off, but in a shirt, like we all are like 99.9 % of the time, I looked kind of normal, and I was weaker, more injury prone, less overall energy, and generally kind of felt frail. Now that I've put on some weight, I feel fucking great, I'm much stronger and bigger, I recover twice as fast, and I feel like a fucking beast. And guess what....I get dudes coming up to me all the time asking what the hell Ive been doing to get so jacked.

    The numbers here blew me away-almost exactly my experience. At 20, after two years of lifting, I was still 155 (at 5’10”). Based on reading glossy bodybuilding mags (it was 1992), I concentrated on eating every three hours and getting in protein after my workout. Over the course of one semester I suddenly went from 155 to 185-still have logs because I was weighing in twice a week for a swimming conditioning class. I was basically doing everything else wrong-not using LP, too much fluff bodybuilding crap, not resting enough, etc.-but even still, just that one change flipped the switch. And like the guy said, body fat went up but not perceptible-think I went from a 28 inch waist to 30.

      ⁠​⁠​⁠@@-nath-7837That’s why I said “and added a lot of weight to the bar”, which also means keeping that strength and continuing to build it. The fact that you haven’t lifted in months is the reason you don’t have strength and size, so don’t compare what you have done to what Rip advocates, which is continued weight gain in line with continued strength gain, not weight gain without lifting like you have done. What you need to do is get your butt in the weight room and build back your strength, and not gain more weight but probably maintain or go on a slight cut to recomp. You will be able to gain strength and lose weight at the same time because you haven’t trained in a while, similar to the fat novices who are already heavy. My original comment was referring to guys who are starting off lighter and are afraid to gain weight.

    I am beginning to think that Rip has a feeding fetish. Every time that he that he talks about someone getting bigger there is a tone of arousal in his voice. A sense of relish at the very thought of yet another person feeding his perverted desires. Rip wants to make us all bigger and stronger because it feeds his sexual fetish. He, like women and some gay men, enjoys the body type of man that you can call "daddy". Disgusting and yet I find myself engaging in this system since it has worked. I guess feeding his sexual perversions is not the worst trade off.

I weighed 230# before starting lifting and weighed 208 this morning at the gym. Lifting has been a true blessing for me. One of the principle reasons that got me into the gym, was maintaining the strength to ride my horses. Anyone who rides a horse should know that adding body weight is not in the interest of the horse. So, I'd rather drop 10 pounds before adding 10 pounds.

One day they'll talk about how the program isn't a powerlifter program, they'll deride people that train to look better etc, and shortly after they'll talk about how doing things their way is the best way to look better.
      Hell, recently they've been equating what they do (train heavy on a very limited number of lifts) with how mass monsters like Ronnie Coleman and Dorian Yates trained. This is obvious bullshit, the way even these bodybuilders trained couldn't be further from the SS method.

    Photovoltaic cells are inherently limited in terms of efficiency. What you are physically doing is using photons to knock electrons off of one side and send them to the other. This takes a specific amount of energy. If a photon doesn't have enough energy to knock off an electron that photon's energy is lost. If a photon has has more energy than needed to knock off an electron but not enough energy to knock off two all that excess energy is lost. This is why photovoltaic cells will never be 100 or even 50 percent efficient.

    if you wanna look like a bodybuilder, great. but you have to realize bodybuilders put in a lot of work to get into contest shape. they bulk, then they taper and peak. same principle as competitive powerlifters, they plan their programming around the date of a contest, so that they will be ready to compete. If you want to look shredded, you have to "lift heavy ass weights," as Ronnie Coleman would say. You have to eat. And once you have the big muscles, then you cut fat. And that carries over in powerlifting too: if you perpetually bulk, you will get too fat, you will get sleep apnea, and you won't be able to recover. Build the muscle, cut the fat, then you build muscle again, from a more muscular starting point. But if you haven't reached the end of your linear progression, all of this is far beyond your scope: you just need to eat and sleep enough and keep adding weight to the bar.

    If we get even 4 years before any issues, even accouting for their relative uselessness during an Irish winter, they'll pay themselves back and then some.
