Q&A Episode - The Hard Nipples Edition | Starting Strength Radio #29

[@namenotavailable]

Would you consider selling a shirt with "Rip's Nip's" on it? Was this enough to make comments from the haters?

[@ryantfinchum]

I would buy this.. And one for my wife

[@caswell62]

Rip's the only one with the balls to speak on those irksome individuals who claim to be experiencing 10/10 pain. Thank you!

[@Fortress333]

One of the comments from the haters was definitely flattery. I mean the comment about if you want to learn anything in (under) two minutes, Rippetoe is your man. Pure unadulterated flattery. Now, a kind request: I'd like to see some snarky videos making fun of gym idiocy. I remember one in which Rippetoe and his Norse Viking God demonstrated the world's most important exercise, namely the upright row. That was just fun. I keep hoping they will make more of these. And a thank you for the classic video about the lying triceps extension. I've been doing this exercise for months and it is very addictive. Previously, I did pullovers with a dumbbell, but that got unwieldy. I don't bother with isolation exercises for body parts, but the lying triceps extension (with the EZ-bar) is doing wonders for my triceps without just working them alone (I guess). In fact, I wonder what else this exercise does. Is it lats, chest, and serratus as well? I only occasionally have some muscle soreness in the long head of the triceps with this exercise, but only if doing a lot more volume suddenly. BTW, muscle soreness is not something I'm after, but sometimes it is a guilty pleasure.

The Title is great! Maybe a special edition of the book can be released called the Hard Nipples 3% edition! Love the vids and books Rip, thanks!

What is the proper set and rep scheme for nipple hypertrophy?

[@leninfernandez9279]

Pull them with 5 pounds of weight hanging, for 5 seconds, 5 reps and 3 sets, if you make it, add 5 pounds

[@markperez8265]

Rip is right about the pain scale. I have ruptured both knee quad tendons and can tell you that the pain was the worst I have ever felt.

[@TedMan55]

what were you doing when you ruptured them? i want to know what weight i can get ip to before i have to start worrying

[@pert76user]

The first time I was hospitalized by kidney stones I became delirious from the pain. The doctor delayed pain medication because he suspected drug seeking behavior. He changed his mind after I started vomiting bile. What do you think my pain scale was Rip? 'bout a 6?

[@wreagfe]

Sounds like an 8 or 9, based on Rip's description.

[@johndim11]

That's a solid 6........if you're a pussy! sarc

[@arturpetrovici]

Pain doesn't cause ''delirious behavior''. The doctor had the right reflex because there's no way to deny your kidney stone pain,... other than acting like a junkie!! The 0-10 scale is just a drama queen maker. Maybe that moment will help you with thé reality of being human and finally start lifting, brah'!

[@swoleboy9640]

[@connorw360]

Whats your opinion on Strongman competitions Rip? Do you watch it, have you ever done any of the strongman events?

[@wreagfe]

If bad sciatica is 5 out of 10 I never want to experience anything higher than that. I'm still traumatised by it. 😂😂

[@michaelcroteau5919]

wreagfe. Yeah. I was sleeping on the floor with my legs resting up on the ottoman. It was agony!

[@mohammedtirech431]

Thank you Mark, another great piece of content. Please keep rolling the videos out. One of my questions I always wanted to ask is: There are strongmen who have massive big deadlifts but have really wide stances and grips. A obvious example is Brian Shaw who has one of the biggest deadlift stances for deadlifting but can pull 500lbs. Do you have a biomechanical explanation for this since narrow stances decrease range of motion and reduces the moment arm. I really appreciate the help. Mo

[@senselessnothing]

The biomechanical explanation is that brian's belly is in the way

[@alexsmart2612]

Is nobody going to comment on Rip's remark at 10:54? "And I bet you didn't run it in under 2 hours, did you?" Not even the world record for a marathon is not under 2 hours.

[@angryookami]

Did not start the video yet but I'm intrigued by the title

A marathon runner/starting strength lifter?

[@jeffriggins9106]

Who remembers the old Jack3D pre workout ? 😂

[@emanueldolo]

Question for Rip: I do parkour, and I started with this program because I wanted to get rid of injuries (knee pain, golfers elbow) and get stronger/more explosive for parkour. In the beggining I did this program 3x a week + 1x parkour, it worked for some time till it got heavy, then I started doing lifting 2x a week (mon, wed) and parkour 1x a week (friday). I know it is optimal to do a program 3x a week but I need to do parkour as well (at least once per week) cause it is pretty skill based activity and I don't want to get worse at it. What is your opinion on this situation?

[@throwsbear4334]

Don't do parkour its not 2005

[@chasejohnson1122]

Ask the question on his website, he aint gonna answer it here. But the answer is in the books and on his videos. Pretty much, keep lifting 3 days a week and get enough calories and sleep. You are young and will recover, people play legitimate sports full time and still do the program

[@arturpetrovici]

If you ''do'' parkour just once a week you'll get injured. It isn't really a sport. It's basically boot camp for hipsters and back in the day it was fashionable, people did it as ''a way of life'' :). Keep getting strong as it will apply to anything and you'll figure-out the rest.

[@flyby8049]

PS. I wish you had more haters. Listening to you reading them cracks me up. I might send you some hate just for shits and giggles.

[@dors.sc1]

[@rigohook1160]

This brings up a few questions to me. First of all: can i use a shock collar to these guys in the Gym that are Shadow boxing with 2 one kilo dumbells to Build more punching power? Second, Why are Marks nipples always hard? Is that from that testosterone thing he told us everyone over 50 should do? Third question, and this one is serious: if you should'nt get up your bodyweight, because of weight classes in boxing, or because less bodyweight is an advantage, like Mark said for gymnasts or climbers or sprinters, can i juggle with more weight and less reps to not build to much bodyweight? I heared when you go up from 80% for five reps to 90% for let's say two reps, you can get very strong without getting to heavy. Thx for your patience....

[@branislavvucenovic7964]

Weight gain/loss is a matter of calories in and calories out, not the number of reps. Specificity is a thing but unless you compete in powerlifting(where you would need to lift ~100%) you will be fine with 5s, especially as a beginner.

[@eclipsez0r]

Rip what if the sciatica stems from a herniated disc not the piriformis?

Herniated disks are asymptomatic

RPE - Rating of Pain Experience ?

[@AmisTheos]

Rating of percieved effort I think

[@BartTrojanowski]

@@AmisTheos I was joking, since Rip was talking about levels of pain on a scale of 1 to 10 in the video. However, since we're killing this horse... RPE stands for "Rating of Perceived Exertion" or alternatively "Rated Perceived Exertion".

[@pashley1411]

The strategic bombing campaign of Germany was simply revenge for missle bombing of London. Militarily a waste of resources, did not hasten the end of the war. The bombing campaign of Japan (including atomic) was an effort to break morale and end that war short of an invasion. It worked on the emperor. None of the strategic bombing campaigns (England, Germany, Japan) decisively affected the morale of the civilians. Tactical bombing that destroys immediate targets and interdicts movement is totally different and of proven effectiveness. Strategic bombing of shipping infrastructure is different and has proven effective. (unless you are fighting the US which simply spit out a ridiculous number of ships).

[@ddeegz9766]

20 to 25 miles a week is not a lot of running for anyone but a novice runner and shouldn't at all be mutually exclusive with barbell training. I think you have a warped view of how strenuous running is. It's like saying can I walk 5 miles a day and still strength train. Yes... Yes you can. Unless you're sedentary to begin with but the guy said he has 30 years of experience. 25 miles a week is pretty casual for a moderately experienced runner. Like 3 miles a day... Literally 30 minutes of running a day at a leisurely 10 minute mile pace. I don't understand why you answered the question the way you did. I have to assume you don't have much experience with running. And it's not necessarily a bad training plan for a one mile race. A lot of the training work for short distances is running longer distances at an easier pace to build aerobic base. Speedwork has to be incorporated more sparingly.

So Rip says the UK is a bizarre society because we have free nationalised healthcare (not knowing we ALSO have private insurance and direct private access). Oh, and at a fraction of the cost of healthcare in the US with better outcomes and 100% coverage? Let me tell you what is bizarre: Rip's utterly ignorant comment. Once again, whenever he steps out of that narrow field of expertise (lifting heavy weights up to 5 times) listeners better recall his opinions are highly questionable.

[@silvermane1]

This from a Brit whose country sends their cops out to hunt down & arrest mean tweeters, while letting 'refugee' animals run around attacking innocent people because of 'muh diversity'. And no, your healthcare outcomes are not better than America's. Sit. Down.

@@silvermane1 please provide a source to show the US has better healthcare outcomes than the UK. From the last 3 reports I read, the US excels in only one area: certain cancers, and that largely only for those who can afford the vast expense required to extend life by about a month or so. It does not count the many thousands who never get treatment at all. So go on. I am sure you made your claim based on well founded research. Right? Or was it Alex Jones?
