The Male in Modern Society (Audio Only)

[@davidt.2726]

This is 100% true. Men should be concerned with what THEY think of themselves, not what others think of them

[@blueberry1874]

rippetoe of all people making videos about traditionalism. what a time to be alive

[@ajleuty2387]

What are you talking about?

[@blueberry1874]

i never expected rip to make content about this kind of thing

[@iii-ei5cv]

I'm not sure I can think think of a man that fits the definition of "traditional" more than Rippetoe. I think that's at least half of his appeal to the younger generation

[@omarsohal926]

The male in modern society needs some HIP DRAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHVVVVVVEEEEE

Could listen to Rip talk about anything, lying on the bed after a hot bath after a heavy leg session, this has made my testicles tingle.

[@SiegePerilousEsauMaltomite]

This is the best podcast yet and should be broadcasted nationwide. Ripp, youre our physical strentgh coach second, life coach first. Thank you

[@00Noontide]

This man is doing God's work

[@ShaunSilk-ew7cy]

No he's not. He thinks he's some sort of manly conservative while he's perpetuating stupid shit like women powerlifters. Women gain nothing from doing this save old nanna. Women's job is in the home not powerlifting and other stupid shit like working on council trucks. No wonder we are in this shit because people like Rip who are meant to be our MEN and a voice of reason are in reality further left than the leftist were 40 years ago.

[@erebus79]

Thank you uncle rippie.

[@MitchellSmith]

I greatly enjoy listening to uncle Rippie complain about declining masculinity.

[@cenobitetoastcrunch8803]

Coach nails it again.

[@misterf7739]

His "coffee made by other people." lol

[@metal0n0v]

used to have a huge beard. ditched it for squatting every session

[@romanwild]

Might I add that in addition to strength a man should know how to fight and experience it at least once. Then avoid physical altercations unless absolutely needed. Speak softly and carry a big stick...the meek shall inherit the earth.

[@dors.sc1]

look at the bright side... its incredibly easy to compete now...

[@TheFrankHuda]

Hahaha the modern man cries. He cries OFTEN.

[@mullboll33]

This is basically Fight Club in Rip’s own words

[@fefin854]

Though this video has only audio, it may be the best video on KZbin.

[@mikeh3240]

It's important to have contrarian voices against the mainstream narrative. Whether you agree with him or not, we need people like Rip speaking their minds. Thank you, Rip.

That was a hilarious article.

I really love how you periodically here the iron clang in his gym throughout this excellent recording.

[@blahasdirtysock3657]

Brilliant piece. Civilisation has brought many benefits to humanity but physical strength has diminished and needs to be recovered for men and women, especially men. Civilisations collapse for many reasons but in many cases an absence of strong men unified in common purpose provides a key driver.

[@Theplaymaker1271]

As a beard owner I have never felt more personally attacked. How dare you, I can squat fahves and rock a beard at the same time

[@mariosalgado4955]

Yeah but is it a manly beard or a brooklyn hipster pajama boy beard hmmm...

[@petrosnazos2385]

Great content, Rip!

[@monkeyxpwner]

You can be aesthetic and strong. Although I do agree a lot of men are overly feminized these days.

[@samueljackson6152]

I agree but I think rips point is your physique should be secondary to the training you do to get stronger. I think that in alot of cases a stronger body is a better looking one as well.

[@danpenia219]

You will never be at your best (in strength) while you are at a low bf%, you can be strong anyway but lifting just for vanity is heresy

[@marty528]

Rip pulled up to prom in a grey Hanes crew neck T and a pair of classic fit wrangler jeans 😂😂 his date looked like Cinderella

[@Fortress333]

The male in modern society: "Mommy! Mommy, help, I am stuck on the toilet!" That's what can happen if you live with your single mom in her two-room apartment and eat pizza all day and drink Red Bull to give you energy to play more video games longer. Trust me, these people are out there. You don't see them often, except if there's maybe a Marvel-Comics event or they collect Pokemon outdoors and get run over by traffic and fall off curbs. Then they land in the ER and help the nurses through another mind-numbing day waiting for COVID cases that aren't there in the empty hospital. Granted, I'm writing this post-Pokemon and in the midst of a deadly raging pandemic that is killing millions a day.

[@charlesjohnson8106]

From Achilles to Soyboy...

[@HAL-dm1eh]

soyboy? It isn't necessarily about diet. When Rome sent their soldiers to battle, they took them off of meat and put them on a grain based diet, because it made them more efficient fighters. They were known as the "Barley Men" and fought with swords and their bare hands to the death. And we all know how powerful the Roman Empire got.

[@charlesjohnson8106]

All my years of reading Vergil at college never taught me that. Thanks for the info. No doubt, we'd all be 'Brisket Men' if Rippetoe had his way...

[@ResistanceQuest]

Any "real man," or real person of any kind, who is rightfully "concerned with rational analysis," as Rip says, should also seek to possess critical thinking, to be able to discern when some segment of society is trying to get him or her to be a certain way, rather than to do what he or she or wants with their lives, and if a man does not want to focus his life on physical strength, but rather on something else that makes him happy and fulfilled, like poetry, art, law, music, medicine, parenting, engineering, or what-have-you, he should be considered "stronger" than the man who chooses to focus on strength because he believes that he "should."

I find it hard to believe that Rip has never purchased a coffee made by someone else. Lol.

[@Konrad-ur1jd]

Most adults drink coffee, both masculine men and nu-male cucks You have to go pretty in depth to make any meaningful point about coffee and what that means for people who drink it.

[@davidjd123]

[@mefoundry8134]

Generalize much? I'll need to play this for the forever-bearded mennonite men in my fam who fix cars, build houses, could easily survive an apocalypse, don't even know what social media is, but still also happen to be, OMG!, city living democrats who support the affordable care act. My husband was recently challenged in a bar by a pissed off man about his big ass beard (that he’s had for over 15 years) who asked him if he had ever changed a tire. WE happened to have replaced our tie rod, ball joint and axle on our car that very day. Responding was beyond satisfying. These cranks should judge less and address their own possible anger issues. Shouldn’t strength training take the edge off and make one a bit more chill? It does for me.

[@mantexas9033]

[@carlosc.1568]

Going deeper (4u) with Mark Rippedtoe

[@feruspriest]

...Seriously? I'm a little surprised that Rippetoe is talking about this rugged Strongman as being above affectation. A man who doesn't look to any magazine or external source to figure out how to look like a man isn't magically making himself a man--he's recreating what he picked up from the world around him anyway. Where'd ya learn to shoe a horse, Rip? Or drive stick? Someone had to teach you that. Someone also had to tell you that driving stick was "manly" for a totally manufactured behavior (driving a car) to become "manly." I'm down for a definition of masculinity which has ties to strength. Our bodies are geared for the development of muscle in a way female bodies aren't*. At the same time, It's silly to think men haven't always been *EQUALLY* invested in peacockery. Medieval men, Spartans, Huns, Marines, etc.--they all have performative elements to being male. A soldier in uniform is ***IN UNIFORM**** For God's sake. He's playing a part. *=the problem with males being defined by their ability to produce muscle is challenged somewhat by the fact that there are more women becoming interested in strength training as well. Is it REALLY a gendered thing? What do we lose out on by making it gendered? I respect your knowledge pool on lifting. I enjoy your anecdotes about other areas of life. I am not sure I trust your sense of history when it comes to men being men.

[@Terry14.88]

Ferus Priest the Lady doth protest too much ......

[@scottwilson4798]

He's making a counter point the bullshit being fed to young men today - a counter point to the shit I've been fed the past 3 years, the shit that has in no way improved my life experience. The bullshit that "modern-day man has a masculinity crisis", that men are depressed because they feel they're not manly enough, not just that it's ok to not be manly, but damn encouraged. The bullshit that says "men should cry more often", men should stop working out because they shouldn't need to feel masculine, and that they should actually feel BAD for having 'male privilege' (especially if you're a white male ooooh boy, the shame you should feel according to the radicals). Modern Man isn't depressed because he feels inadequate to 'social construction norms' (what a heap of horse shit) - providing he's mentally sound he's usually feeling that way because of lack of bloody purpose and meaning in the world, produced by a lack of responsibility. And you know the EASIEST way he can get some responsibility, and a sense of usefulness and value? By picking up some damn weights. He's probably fucked up in his routines and habits in thousand different ways, and is probably a lazy bastard, a complete waste of space - but if he trains, then AT LEAST he can say "at least I can bare some sort of load, so perhaps I can do the same in other areas of my life". And slowly he improves, and soon he's aiming skyward, improving himself, family and society. Certainly a much better outcome than anything he could dream of listening to the petty "masculinity crisis" crap.

[@feruspriest]

Terry C. Snyder I know, right? When guys get up on their soap box and say "YOU ARE NOT BEING THE RIGHT TYPE OF MAN," ya have to wonder how secure they are in their masculinity.

[@feruspriest]

Scott Wilson ya lost me a bit in the bottom half of your first paragraph. Can you elaborate more what you were getting at?

[@sumsar01]

There is only one kind of real man. But there are different manifestations of that man. But all of them are able to deadlift 180 kgs.

And that's why the Barbell Medicine people and Allan Thrall should treat Rippetoe as the old uncle who spouts nonsense on christmas.

[@chinarep1]

Do they not train for strength? Do they cry often and bathe with only full bars of Irish Spring soap? Last I checked, they disagreed on early intermediate programming and to some extent politics but not what the topic of this video is about.

[@dorianfoley6047]

yup.

Yeah ... like that Clarence Kennedy and his 660# squat. Such a soyboy.

[@HAL-dm1eh]

I supplement with soy protein powder because I'm allergic to dairy proteins, and I'm hardly a pajama boy. And yes, I'm pretty sure Clarence Kennedy would kick your ass.

[@UltimateNinjaSrb]

You don't know what a soyboy is, do you? Just because he won't eat meat doesn't mean he's a soyboy.

[@plebplebeian2869]

Clarence Kennedy who made all his gains as a meat eater and only recently went vegan

[@Coolvideos36]

The funny thing is if this video motivates you then you're the guy he says you shouldn't be, relying on others to tell you how to be.

he ripped me a new one

[@nadimo]

Rip, have you ever learned about Chauvinism? Fits your demeanor perfectly. Only thing is: historically we know it's not that great of a thing, along with facism and racism. In my personal experience, people who mourn the "decline of manliness", do so on the basis on a very strong napoleon / inferiority complex. That helps me also understand the previously displayed obsession about "getting stroooooong" through barbell training and ridiculing and insulting everybody that chooses not to.

[@mag537]

lol go away

[@Goremachine]

5 minutes in and I realize he's still just rationalizing being a fat power lifter. If you have visible abs you're not a man!

[@freshrockpapa-e7799]

Not really. If you can squat 140kg he will let you lose your fat and have your abs. You aren't a man when along your abs we can see your ribcage.

[@mantexas9033]

"You don't have abs bro, you're just really skinny."

[@1111aaa2222]

Starting strength will never gain popularity until Rippetoe is separated from the organization.

[@dinoXAs2]

Soyboy cry

[@greyman7849]

Sounds like a typical poorly travel Texan / American. Could I suggest you use your time more wisely than sitting on your backside in a gym, move way outside your post code, there you will see amazing young people fully engaged in life. Judging everyone from a narrow minded perspective always make you come across as an antiquated old fool. You have made some wonderful additions to the world of strength training particularly with seniors (simply wonderful). However please stick to the topics you can provide relevant s too.

[@newerest1]

This is sad

[@Stalast.]

Stick to teaching strength training, this is propaganda bs.
