[@leninfernandez9279]

@ bro wtf rusty is jacked. I think it’s a combination of interests and genetics, Nick and Rip obviously doesn’t have the same genetics as Rusty, Rip is also old, likes to drink and eat. In the end: who cares? I’m here for knowledge not to observe their body, and in general it’s quality content. Also, you’d have to be insane to say they didn’t develop their strength significantly

[@Craig-m7x]

The right answer is to get to a healthy bodyweight and max your strength out at that weight. There's no need to get heavier to lift more if you're not a competitive powerlifter.

[@yew2oob954]

According to Ripp...morbid obesity is fine as long as you get 1lb more on the bar...and he wonders why people in the industry don't take him seriously. 😂

[@adriandreamwalker1027]

If one follows the bodyfat percentage, you'll have your caloric surplus and get stronger and heavier without getting fat. The point is to choose what percentage you're confortable with and staying there, adjusting your diet towards mantaining fat%, not mantenance which is current weight mantenance! I'm very happy at 20%, down from 28% and weak. Will continue lifting and gaining weight accordingly, always at 20%.

[@chadkintz]

I love how the gym bros in here apply bodybuilding mentality to this strength training program. They laugh because they can’t imagine gaining body weight will produce an aesthetic body down the road.

[@WiecznieNieNasycony]

You have to gain weight at all costs; it doesn't matter how fat you will be. add weight to the bar It doesn't matter how much you weigh; it matters how strong you are. Bigger is stronger. Get your body weight to 500 lbs get bigger You will be bigger than what happens next. You will be stronger too and lift more heavier weights drink 3 gallons of mil a day and get bigger get it? you get stronger.

[@astang1072]

I’ve been living this. Mid 30s, 5’8, about 6 mo ago my squat sets across were around 285 and DL working set ~325 at a BW ~195 (much more fat than I want on me). Then spent about three months doing the program, got to 330 for squat sets across and DL 370X5, weight according to scale didn’t change! I now want my fat trimmed so running a slight deficit, similar lifting frequency but I can’t train to anywhere near the intensity I could before. I probably lost 25 pounds on my squat and my DL. I’m OK with that for now because the fat’s coming off.

But what about in a the article "a clarification" where you say that if over 20% body fat should remain at the weight and there body fat percentage will moderate. Isn't that recomposition?

[@Craig-m7x]

LOL these guys constantly contradict themselves, don't try and find a consistent philosophy, they just want you to eat and inject testosterone to keep adding weight to the bar indefinitely. Meanwhile, Rip and Nick don't even train anymore.

Thats not how it work, if you are eating REAL food and are generally active (lifting heavy atleast 2-3X a week) you will not become morbidly obese or even fat because you are puting on muscle and don't eat like shit and guess what you will be fine. Get you maingaining bullshit out of here and keep doing your shitty fitness guru program and make no progress of 5 fucking years.

[@louissinuel917]

At 6:03, Rip says, " Watch your carb intake." In the past. I believe the concern was more focused on fat. Has Rip changed his views? Or more likely I misunderstanding some things.

[@yew2oob954]

Protein is the limiting factor, you need a minimum amount of protein to build muscle (estimated by bodyweight), then whatever that number is for you, you need the correct ratio of fat for hormones, so essentially it is only the carbs that need to vary for body composition changes.

My favorite thing about the comments section is that people don't seem to understand that he is just saying that you need to be in a caloric surplus in order to continue to gain strength easily... Instead, everyone makes sarcastic remarks about gaining 600 lb or what not...

[@Craig-m7x]

Rip always recommends people weigh as much as competitive powerlifters tho.

[@woodshcc5]

@Craig-m7x only if they have the strength to go with it. He never advocates weighing 300 lbs without being to deadlift 600+ lbs...

[@woodshcc5]

@@tyler7992 I was definitely thinking he was lower than 30%. You can put on quite a bit of muscle in your novice stages... I think most people believe this whole 10 lb of muscle a year is all you're capable of, but that only really applies to advanced lifters.

[@justinmusicandskateboardin9282]

If the only thing that makes your lifts go up is gaining weight, just WHAT are you accomplishing?? Especially on something like a bench press where your bloat and excess fat literally makes the mechanics of the lift easier for you. What matters is strength relative to your size. Who cares if I can lift 600 pounds if I have to bulk up to 400 pounds. I know people are into very silly things and singling out someone's preferred hobby or passion is kind of a dick move, but seriously, why would anyone actually prioritize simply being able to lift the most weight possible??? Even if you become that person and set a world record, I couldn't give two craps about it and I think 99.999% of the population would agree with me, like ya, congratulations, you were born with the most superior DNA to do that one specific list most optimally, now go out and get absolutely obliterated in any actually athletic activity you try to participate in that isn't simply lifting the heaviest possible rock off the ground

[@waynenoll1967]

“Are you training for other men?”…..Not that there’s anything wrong with that, lmao

[@ragnarlothbrok5354]

Not doubting Rips knowledge by any means, but he most definetly only trains people with high testosterone or people on drugs in general. Because the weight gain advice only works for them. Going from a 205lbs at 6 foot to 255lbs in 3 months will surely drive up your squat by a decent number, but you will sleep worse, your face most likely looks swollen and your breath hard when talking lol. You definetely will look fat if you don't have the genetics for it and I feel like these dudes are in an environment where people in general have insanely high testosterone that they lost touch with reality. They try to convince me that Chase is an average person. Dude is surely a workhorse aswell, but I would probably be at a 245 lbs OHP where he is at a 405lbs OHP with the same amount of work at the same bodyweight.

[@jd0879]

Dude Chase is diabetic so he’s on insulin which is what BB take to get huge

[@Craig-m7x]

Nick is on TRT and he isn't even 45 yet and he still can't train anymore and looks like a potato. My point is that they are ALL on TRT. They forgot what it's like to train natty, which is why they say a 500 deadlift isn't heavy.

[@skyboomer2127]

This strikes me as bad advice. I believe strong enough is a real thing, beyond that point, stronger is probably a bad thing for both life expectancy and looks. Somebody help clarify the strong “strong enough” part. Its is true that abs and fast cars only attract other guys … this is not my thing.

[@phizzz6111]

It can’t go up for ever guys! When should you stop? Don’t tell me all 3 of you have put weight on constantly!

[@Craig-m7x]

It never stops, just keep eating in a surplus and keep adding weight to the bar. You will not get fat at all, just look at Rip and Nick.
