I'm gonna be so strong next time I lift, I've been recovering from my last training session for 3 years
xD
🤣🤣
Power cleans are good for the soul.
I actually had a lady said I was “getting buff” this morning at the gym. She turns 79 this coming Saturday. Bless her heart.
"Who wants to be a novice"
Oh God me. I wish I could stay a novice forever.
Me: "working out" for about 4 years; training Texas-style about 1 year. I expect to be a novice the rest of my life (of course, I am 54 years old!).

This man should be youtube god.
Makes training so simple people can't believe it.
The problem for most people is that his program requires hard work and dedication.
I lose count of how many 130 lb shrimps do crossover rows for no gainzz in my gym. Part of me wants to turn them on to SS but another part wants less people using the 1! squat rack available.
Haha. A few months ago I was going to my hotel's gym in the city I temporarily worked, sometimes there would be a shit ton of guys at busy hours and I would be the only one using the power rack while they all conveniently did some ridiculous bodybuilding stuff.
Same here,a lot of times I even went forward with it and talked to a few telling them they should go from 155 to 195+ and in 3-5 years and then they can go down and have the rest of their life to show off those abs,get shredded or whatever they wanna do,or atleast do it for the short term so their base strength is up and they can go back to bro splits atleast they will be better than the average begginer doing bro splits.
Haha, Protect that squat rack man! It's a dog eat dog world baby!
Yea you're counter intelligence all right.
One of the best bonding experiences with a stranger can be sharing a squat or half rack. I have anxiety around people and even I love the opportunity to share my spot with someone.
I love it when I see trainees doing the cable crossovers and leg extensions; it means they won't be using the bench or the squat rack.
what an excellent audio! Thank you Mr. Rippetoe!
Coach you are truly one of the best that I've encountered.thanx for sharing
The sum up of this one is "This is the ideal male body. You may not like it, but this is what peak performance looks like."
The greatest strength coach I 've ever known.
This is all true... i went from 176 to 198 in 2 months all my lifts went up bench 55lbs press 60lbs squat 110lbs dead 100lbs. Just from eating more and lifting 3 times a week.
And these pounds are what i increased on thos lifts not what im doing.
Copy that.
Went from 77 kg (170Lb) to 96 kg (210 LB) in 4 month and only increase 3-4% in bodyfat, eating like a horse and a barbell training
.
Ricky Petersen good job. Gains for days
Hell, assuming you don't go to a sport-specific gym, just look at the guys and girls around you resistance training. Well over 70% will be skinny regardless of age or number of years training. Whenever someone approaches me and asks me how I'm so big and strong I tell them to eat more and they stare in disbelief like I'm just spouting nonsense and while I wouldn't consider myself neither big nor strong, especially by CZcams fitness standards, most people in the gym are basically twigs.
Hey when did u stop deadlifting 3 times a week and then limited it to only once a week? Like how much weight on the deadlift made it hard for u to recover from 3 sessions a week as then from even 2 a week
Powerful!
TRUER WORDS HAVE NOT BEEN SPOKEN.
5 people with the moronic "more is better argument", or genetics that defy the need to train intelligently disliked this.
This is a great video. Minus the exercise description it pretty much sums up the entire SS school of thought.
Yeah but beginners can do whatever and grow but why not do a proper linear progression program milk the gains and then ditch ss and wonder into the intermediate programming world .
Patches O'houlihan This is why exercise science books exist mate . I have more than 100 gigs of books and i can say that even advanced training concept , if they are understood beyound terms its way clearer to program for individual needs , capacity and rate of adaptation.
Being a novice is the best! Everything is pure progress. It's so satisfying.
Music to my ears...
Why wasn't this info around when I was 18?
Or maybe it was just drowned out in shit.
The time I wasted doing ridiculous shit...
"It's the LOOADDD"
I like "Starting Strength" podcast .
If they were all recorded like this, I would buy every single audiobook that Rip produced.
Why is this video not viewed more?

Does plain yogurt have the same effect as milk?? Raw milk might be a good avenue to go down too, bit of a hassle having to pick it up independent of the rest of the groceries.. The store bought milk-like substance doesn't work right for me.
I am using starting strength for my lifting program and snake diet for my diet program. Together they shall be lethal!
Same here lol
Recipe for injuries
Fucking love these podcasts
Hey Mark! What´s up? I am trying this type of training and I have a question: in the B part, you start with press, then squat, and then deadlift. How I am suposed to warm up on the deadlift? or should I consider the previous exercises as a warm up?
Do warm up sets.
If I started lifting again after 6 years off and been training now for 3 months can I still get on the basic starting strength to make strength gains orshould I go onto one of rippetoes other programs?
After 6 years, you should probably do starting strength yes.
I LOVE Mark Rippetoe!
I shaved my head and just the toughness i felt added 150 to my total
Anyone who likes this content would be amazed how many people will literally hear every argument in this essay and others and still be like "yeah but I prefer doing it ____ way though :/ "
In terms of strength, at what point would you say is a good cap for sustainable longevity for a non-professional, non- competitor, "general population" person looking to be strong, fit, and healthy. For a male at 12-15% bodyfat, do you think reaching and maintaining (whilst making no necessity to go any further) Deadlift: x2.5 bodyweight, Squat: x2 bodyweight, Bench: x1.5 bodyweight, and Overhead Press: x1 bodyweight. With these numbers I would say this person would be very strong and fit. Also, if someone is deadlifting x4 their bodyweight on a regular basis, could this really be healthy? Badass indeed, but healthy? I don't pretend to be an expert here. I am pulling numbers from the nether regions. I am just thought experimenting and I would like some more opinion/ideas. Thank you in advance for any help :)
look up and watch Jordan Feigenbaum, and Austin Baraki's content. They are both MD's and run a website called BarbellMedicine. They are experts in the fields of "health" both medically and physically and will greatly help you to understand how programs like starting strength and power lifting in general affect human physiology.
As much as you can, maintaining is easy and requires little volume and does not cause injury. Trying to do lots of volume or make big gains while old will be very hard.
@@LTPottenger define old for me so I know what that means in your expert opinion...

Asking “is it healthy to deadlift 4x body weight regularly?” Is like asking is healthy to run a marathon every week?
The human body adapts to any stress put on it so YES its healthy as long as they eat and sleep to recover
As long ad they don’t engage in competitions that incite injury and ridiculous numbers, they’re ok
Can an overweight novice do this program lose fat and get stronger? I'm 6'3 carrying too much weight so would like to lose weight (fat) but also gain strength and muscle. Is that possible. Because I assume I have to be in a calorie deficit to lose fat but would that mean my strength progress would be limited?
You will lose at least a pound of fat for every pound of muscle you put on. I would just concentrate on getting stronger without losing any weight. Maybe skip food one day a week, which won't hurt your gains, I do it all the time. You can fast for short periods with no effect on metabolism or strength but after a few weeks of dieting both go into the toilet.
As you pack on muscle you BMR will go up, so an increasing amount of calories will be burned as you make your strength gains.
I am 57 yrs old. trying to train, using the " strongest shall survive" book program by Bill Starr. is there a different between his program and starting strength program?
For starters, SSS was written specifically for football coaches. Starting Strength is designed for the novice powerlifter. So there are some differences. For instance, the SSS program doesn't involve deadlifts. Mark Rippetoe addresses that difference in this thread: startingstrength.com/resources/forum/mark-rippetoe-q-and-a/8169-deads-strongest-survive.html
why not weighted chins for 3x5?
Probably because most novices cannot even do a full range of motion, controlled chinups for 3x5. And adding weight too soon on chins can hurt the elbows and shoulders. In another video he said you can start to add weight when you can do chinups for good 10 reps.
@@onurbole7921 agreed, same thing for pull ups. Once you could do 10 pull ups (full range of motion with proper form), than you should start to add weight.
they suck
It really baffles me how simple things can blow ur mind off. I always had trouble eating enough calories and I have tried increasing carbs and protein and stuff but its was so hard ! As it turns out drinking milk is way easier !! 1 gallon of milk and 2000 calories done ! I know it wont be easy but it is certainly easier than eating a 2k calorie meal every single day!! I. Have been training for only 4 months now so m still a noob which a good thing bcz beginner gainz
At least 20 pounds of muscle in 3-4 months? Wow
Matthew McNulty I have personally seen a kid go from 135lbs to 150lbs in a month from eating every 2 -3 hours and lifting 3 times a week
*underweight young men specifically
Definitely. I went from 123 to 140 in the first 5 weeks eating 3500-4000 calories a day and following starting strength. Now am 150 after 8 weeks.
I'm sorry I missed workout A. When he says "press" does he mean the overhead press aka military press? He says workout B is "bench press" but he only says "press" for workout A. If someone could clear this up for me I would appreciate.
yes it's the military press.
Its not the military press. Its the standing oh press and he has a great video on it on the youtubes.
GOMAD is excellent if you can stomach it. Literally. If I drank that much milk I'd be on the shitter for at least a few unpleasant hours every day. Even a quart of milk fucks me up :(
I eat a lot of carbs instead, sweets combined with popular carbonated sodas that I won't mention by name. Trying to find a healthier way to get 4000 kcals/day.
Go whole food plant based, replace refined sugars with fruits and starches. At least ditch the HFCS for white sugar. That stuff is bad.
If you are struggling to find a healthier way to hit 4000 kcals/day, you're really not trying very hard. One Google search for "4000 kcal meal plan" will solve your problem.
Patches O'houlihan lol m8 I was 121 lbs when I started, now I'm 143 lbs and I'll keep permabulking 'till I reach my goal of 170 lbs.
You cant replace milk with soda
Your gut is ruined, probably from the carbs. Work your way up with progressive overload to a gallon a day and get rid of the pointless carbs. Only whole milk
I've been doing 5x5 - 3x5 for arround 2 years now without hitting a worth to mention strength level. For most of the time i was in a caloric deficit because i was overweight. I definetly made some smalls gains but nothing immpressive. Did i lost my novice effect?
No
I don't think so. Apparently you didn't increase the load, so you didn't have to adapt. Now is the time to start.
It has been said sumo wrestlers that are only about 20 percent body fat can eat like 10,000 calories a day including large quantities of rice. Their strength program seems to be quite comparable to yours except forward and backwards resistance on a horizontal plane and tilting on a lateral plane rather then gravitational vertical type resistance such as yours. It seems really to depend on how one would choose to desire to throw their weight around as to which program would make one strength useful to their purpose.
Well theyre more like 30-35% but with naturally peaked muscle mass,good point on the horizontal plane movements maybe load a sled and do the movements,I feel like shoulder and squat movements will become easier and chest and deadlift will become harder.
Heres the catch load that on a sled now you have to factor in friction with what surface youre on if youre on a slippery surface 225lbs will move much easily vs a rough surface,temperature changes,damage to sled may increase or decrease friction.When someone says they used std barbell and plates and squat 225 theyre in vincinity of each other by +/- 5-10lbs and if they used similar brand calibrated plates theyre within double/single digit grams of each other.
Ppl can bcom stronger with such a program but its hard to quantify how strong they really are.
Who said Sumo wrestlers 20% body fat? Just no. With the amount Sumos eat and how many hours they train they are probably pushing their genetic limit but I doubt it's the best way to put on strength/muscle in the novice phase. The big compound movements done frequently suit any athlete who needs full body strength but of course you need some sport specific exercises as well.
Personally as a martial artist I like to do my horizontal pulls unilaterally to train torso stability/rotation, add in some calf work and Indian clubs, the rest is more or less the same as a powerifter. If I had more free time I'd probably have a GPP day too with things like farmers walks and sled pulls but they are a much lower priority than the big compound lifts.

WHen he says "press" is he talking about OHSP?
Yes.
Thanx duder
The Press is done standing and over one's head... saying Overhead Standing Press is redundant ;)
Press = Standing OHP,
Clean = squat clean from the floor,
Deadlift= conventional deadlift
@@Joosejpr Exactly, and the press predates bench by many years. In fact, press is probably one of the oldest exercises.
we still want abs Sir
Keep your shirt on and no one will know!
1 gallon a milk a day does the body good! 🐮😍

Ryan Wolf I don’t think you understand what the China Study actually was. It actually compiled a ridiculous amount of cumulative, mechanistic data along with epidemiological information.

6000 kcal a day... Come on...
BubuBarong eat big to be big!
Brendan Harnett 6000 kcal for a 135lb man is plain nonsense... How could you possibly give recommendations out of context? Most of the time, 1000 kcal over TDEE is more than enough, 4000 is nonsense. Unless you want to lift heavier weights and be stronger just because you are 30 lbs fatter... Come on.
It works. Fat is easier to loose than muscle is to gain.
You have to get heavier to get stronger. Weight moves weight
Brendan Harnett every now and then you have to lose it. At 1% BW per week it takes forever, months, to get to 12 from 25% BF without losing LBM... And there you have it: you follow the program for 8-9 months and then you spend 3-4 months dieting... If you like to be over 20% BF that's fine, I don't.
