Mark Rippetoe Q and A | Starting Strength Radio #3

[@aleidius192]

This came out just in time for breakfast. I already feel motivated to eat more.

[@scottmoyer3854]

Add in a vesper martini

[@eklimas123]

So agree with Rip at 21:31. So many times I've gotten to the bottom of a squat (or any lift in the rack) and start pushing not knowing if I'm going to get the weight back up... but can attempt knowing if I fail the pins/straps will save me. I've always been amazed how many times when I thought "no way" mid-rep I've gotten that one. Its even more interesting if that was rep 3 or 4 in a 5 rep set. Its amazing what your body + mind can do/push sometimes. Moral of the story, get a rack if you don't have one and don't be afraid to fail.

[@markmarki9511]

The squat rack in my gym doesn't have adjustable pins, and I squat lower than the pins so I squat outside of it. This way I must come up.Haven't failed a rep yet.

[@Hanuman_]

I'm too lazy to set up the pins but I've only ever failed a squat once outside the rack and it was fine just kind of dumped it over my head

[@barneyfife5712]

Would be nice to have timestamps in the description of the questions.

[@barneyfife5712]

@zach morris If it wouldn't be too much trouble.

[@haczabim]

Then you'd miss the best bits

[@lookie236]

Did they adapt Ron Swanson's character from Rip's?

[@yetigriff]

Rips getting grumpier and meaner by the day.

[@halbritt]

yetigriff I’ve been watching his videos for a decade, he’s approximately as grumpy as he ever was.

[@Doogsa-dl8sc]

Rip is a showman, he is not meant, very generous with sharing his knowledge.

[@mayking8]

Ain't it great!

[@taipeitaiwan10]

Whacked off twice to Deadwood last week, per your advice. Thx.

[@Sirgromulus]

My wife and I watched a few episodes of Deadwood but just couldn't get into it. I do still practice my "hip drive" weekly though!

[@scottmoyer3854]

Rip is smart AF and hilarious. Editted to express gratitude for that Vesper Martini walkthrough. Love it 🍸

[@iii-ei5cv]

Bottom 3% checking in!!

[@stevecap86]

after listening to mark rippetoe I started squatting 145kg to warm up and drink mead out of a horn.

[@halbritt]

Stevecap_89 you didn’t listen hard enough then because no matter how strong you are you should start your warmup with an empty bar

[@andrewmilner3480]

Hi from the UK -- information and hilarity all in one go -- brilliant!

[@yetigriff]

Rips, will you coath Jason genova for the ruby this year?

[@jurriaanalfonso3406]

yetigriff hope so

[@anonony9081]

Order 66 mark rippetoe

[@swoleboy9640]

@@anonony9081 you better watch your mouth boy

[@billybrothers2492]

Order 66 mark rippetoe

[@bobbystafford6576]

Ah piss troopers! Go find a root!

[@bpprovencal]

You are a funny man Mr Rippetoe. I love your podcasts.

[@JosueOutdoors]

Thank you for The Coaching Eye Suggestion! Keep up the great show.

[@fredminer9602]

I'm so relieved to find someone else who is mature enough to be bored with pro sports. They've become the religion of men suffering from arrested development.

[@ChristmasLightsTonight]

2:50 *crack* *ssssip* “Yep, the Y-12. Now THAT was a hell of an airplane.”

[@jroth2nd]

Liked just because he never watched an NFL game.

[@AngelPuntero]

So looking forward to SS Dallas opening

[@AngelPuntero]

I always wondered why my Kindle version got “updated”, if it’s still the third edition. Copyright page shows it’s the third revision

[@ultimaetsolder]

To make more money...

[@AngelPuntero]

ultimaetsolder I mean, I bought it some time ago, and it updated automatically to the latest revision, at no charge. If you buy the physical copy then yes , you need to pay for the new one. So I guess digital version is a better alternative

[@patrickvanmeter2922]

The reason old people won't squat or deadlift is because they think they can get the same results from their doctor. They don't give a shit if the side affects are worse than being sore once in a while. It is easy and insurance pays for it. I'm 78 and have lifted for around 60 years. I don't like doctors and have been lucky enough not to need one with the exception of lifestyle emergencies like motorcycle racing. Once I get the cast on, I don't go back. My point, in over 60 years I have never convinced one person to join me. They all think I am crazy.

[@barryhoven9861]

You betta preach Rip about 60+ fitness and pill culture.

[@tyrfing777]

38:31 "Meetings are so cool." Love it!

[@rentsy3444]

10:00, the Q and A has not started

[@greghood1552]

Any chance we can get Rip to watch, and give his reaction to the Lebron James squat video?

[@evanmccarthy8766]

Please open a Starting Strength gym in Evansville Indiana.

[@SerbianTexan]

Omg this is fantastic! Thank you for the laughs!

[@mattbaker2952]

Milk, milk, lemonade. Round the the corner fudge is made

[@loljk9443]

Matt Baker internet comment of the day

[@ultimaetsolder]

Lolol

[@melo15813]

17:19 I've been wanting to hear Rip say diabetes since I first saw him. It was just as amazing as I imagined.

[@CatholicBossHogg]

I wonder if the kindle versions of his books get updated the same way the new print versions do

[@startingstrength]

They do, Bryan.

[@botharms]

Great video!

[@HAL-dm1eh]

How appropriate is it that squirt and squat are so similar?

[@johnperez4359]

Rippetoe 2020 State enforced 5×5

[@oleandreas5014]

3x5

[@i4gtit]

Did something else and put my headphones back in at 30:20, just to hear Rip talk about a botanical Gym that comes in a red glass bottle.

[@jeffm8619]

Please put a mic on Nick.

[@ggooch97]

Oklahoma will gladly go with Texas. TEXOMA WILL RISE!

[@operationtruth288]

Is Jason Blaha on Staff as a Coach?

[@EnlightenedRogue24]

Bla-ha-ha-ha-ha-!

[@halbritt]

Congratulations, Rip, you just invented a Corpse Reviver #2

[@joethesheep4675]

now that Ripp started giving "cooking" tips there is only 1 question left for me to ask: Who of you, bottom 5% asks Ripp about a good vegan recipe?

[@thetommachine]

39:28

[@pookie4660]

I used to love watching NFL till they started marketing to women and having trouble standing. My Sundays are now productive!

[@zalibecquerel3463]

Iced London dry gin, vodka, tangelo zest, Cocchi Americano, 6 drops of absinthe, three scoops of unflavored whey protein isolate and a can of diet root beer..

[@haczabim]

10:12 Rip at his comedic best

[@wereham]

5 ice cubes hahahaha this guy loves fives so much

[@zazen69]

I wonder if the Engineers from Prometheus drink Vespir Martinis.

[@jessemagnus997]

Isn't clear liquor for rich women on a diet?

[@raiden031]

I used to think his last name was Rippletoe

[@tommyharris5817]

video starts at 12:00 and talks crap about whisky between 25:00 and 35:00

[@DeanCulver17]

Not here for the great strength advice - more here for the oscar the grouch of fitness youtube.

[@throwsbear4334]

No pirates in peoria just riverman

[@jaredsmith4]

I think you need to be mic’ed up as well, Nick. It’s hard to hear your feedback with Rip.

[@陳蕙玲-f2q]

👍

[@jasonsanders8797]

Let's just leave Louisiana behind. Edit: Canada too.

[@iii-ei5cv]

We already have. They just haven't gotten the message yet

[@TheFrankHuda]

Same thing Tom Segura the water champ said. Build a wall around Louisiana

[@DevilsRejection]

I've hurt myself way too much and way too often trying to grind out shit reps. Love all the advice you offer, Mark, and the content you provide on your channel, but I'm going to have to disagree with you on this one. Yes, push yourself, but if your fourth rep looked and felt like total dog shit, rack it up and try again next week.

[@legitboss100]

DevilsRejection so use rpe?

[@DevilsRejection]

legitboss100 whatever you want to call it. if it feels like shit, rack it. if it doesn’t, keep going.

[@johndim11]

DevilsRejection that’s loser talk. If you’re hurting yourself that often your form is shit

[@wadayaduin5517]

Gin, and vermouth, both taste like somebody drank them already.

[@expo7112]

GOMAD or go home Ripper!

[@SaniBravo]

I do agree baseball is boring as fuck

[@wadayaduin5517]

It’s “white”, not “hwite”.

[@craigcrawford6749]

Second!!!

[@gsquared2394]

Baseball IS terribly boring. Most people are NPCs who will consume as they are told.

[@craigcrawford6749]

We don't really need 6 minutes of bs. Just get to the questions

[@cellardoor8943]

We do

[@joshuatate5671]

Skip it

[@D_R757]

You suck

[@johndim11]

It’s not all about you, Craig

[@ultimaetsolder]

So boring. Can you edit it down to just the important parts? Maybe 5 mins max?

[@kiril1]

Your opinion is very important for Rip.

[@TheFrankHuda]

Twentieth!
