The Novice Effect (Audio Only)

[@RoadToDocByRoidAlex]

Once again I'd like to state Rip should read audio books for children :)

[@Jonatron101]

Absolutely jacked children who can benchpress their parents.

[@scottivlow9962]

Road to Doc since last year when I read your comment, every time I replay an audio podcast I keep thinking the same thing with your comment. If someone can really imitate Rip on his vocal mannerisms they would make for great youtube content. The only problem with someone making an audio children's book would violate copyright laws so anyone that can best do it would have to have publishers permission. I also I can't imagine Rip volunteering at an elementary school to read to little kids. Every book would just sound more like an instruction book and Rip would just take any story and just provide his own commentary. At the end he'll tell kids to drink a quart a milk a day because they are underweight and they need to get strong and get their 8 hours of sleep everyday so that can be fully recovered for their next class.

Every time I hear Rip speak, I crave milk.

Makes me wish I wasn’t lactose intolerant

57 yr old life long lifter. just hit 3×,5. 95 lb dumbbells. @170. flat bench switched to dumbbells to save shoulders. press 3×5 90 lb dumbbells. still gaining strength at 57

[@jaredw5059]

that's strong as f*ck, good work!

[@ripraen]

Rip would have a heart attack if he saw the ads that KZbin are playing over his videos. This one is for a home gym machine that looks to be about as far from barbell training as humanly possible.... :)

[@AladdinPersson]

I really like these podcast like videos, keep it up Rip! :D

[@averagedude1986]

Over 2 lbs per week of muscle per week! Shit... I wish I knew about this stuff when I was going through puberty.

[@SiegePerilousEsauMaltomite]

Wilson Tenney No shit

[@jacekblachsiewierski7140]

@Nomad well i did novice progression and gained 35lbs in 8 weeks, everything skyrocketed and i looked barelly fatter (around 18%) so yeah it works, now after the gyms opened back to the program

[@Mike-uh2gw]

My first 4 months in the military I gained 40 lbs of muscle with zero weight lifting. (I started at 125) All it took was thousands of extra calories every day. It took another 29 years to add 20 lbs of lard. Time to get strong!

[@franklogrim8510]

just. wow! spot on

[@kevslogan]

Ugh, yet another person slandering alternate 3 pound dumbell seated swiss ball presses. Although the competition A3PDSSBP in multi-ply compression clothing has been proven to provide little or no stimulus for adaptation, that's just not how they're done by most lifters in training. Until a very expensive, peer reviewed study with at least 11 participants disproves hypertrophic and neural adaptation from the RAW A3PDSSBP movement, it can't be ignored as the core of any strength training regimen.

[@robertlevy4613]

Kevin Logan well played, this literally made me laugh out loud.

[@Arshak1137]

Is Zach Evetts still liftin?

[@drb4074]

One bicyclist thumbed this down.

[@molonlabe459]

that's because this guy is full of shit. Gains that quick are absolutely impossible.

[@bababoey1433]

@@molonlabe459 HA nerd

[@zeetrunks]

I always listen to Rip's advice when it comes to technique, programming, etc. But I just can't get myself to listen to his nutritional advice. I mean, 6000 kcals? For a complete beginner?

[@goldchalice]

The focus is on strength building. Not health.

[@PakkiNakki]

Zoheb Q Yeah take his nutritional advice with a grain of salt

[@Coxy002605]

6000kcals isn't that extreme for someone working very hard, especially since that number includes GOMAD.

[@ludwigvonsowell5347]

Zoheb Q you won't be pretty looking, but you will be picking up heavy crap.

[@MrAzzhloe]

You can certainly make progress on less than 6000 calories, but it will be slower progress.

[@randomboy123ify]

Wow

[@Newuxtreme]

So he was a poor college kid that could barely afford his GOMAD..... but he was pounding down 6000+ calories daily for 3 months straight?

[@ludwigvonsowell5347]

Newuxtreme 3000 of that is the whole milk.

[@frodothehobo9938]

i am literally on food stamps broke and i have enough money to get in 6k calories. you just have to know how to cook, don't be scared of fat, and a big appetite. think about a meal like this 6 whole eggs (approx 50cents, based on where i live) 2 medium potatoes, made into hashbrowns with 1 tablespoon butter (approx 25c total) 4oz of ham (50cents or so, don't buy the fancy ham) 4 slices of whole grain toast (it's 2.50 a loaf here, so this will be the most expensive at around 75c) put 2 tablespoons of peanut butter on the toast (maybe 10c?) a handful of cooked spinach (50c?) wash it down with 16z of whole milk (50c) this meal costs 3 dollars and 10 cents, it's about 1800 calories. just an example.

[@SiegePerilousEsauMaltomite]

Butter, cheap beef, rice, beans, some broccoli. Shit ain't expensive.

[@diegomontero5367]

I shit you not.

[@jerrythomas4457]

How did the broke college kid who could barely afford a gallon of milk afford to train at a starting strength gym?

[@yeshuasage3724]

Alot of claims here are wild, ppl gaining 30 lbs of muscle in a few months when most advanced lifters will tell you that’s how much gain in 10 yrs of hard consistent work

[@justpeter9551]

Slarted.

[@randomboy123ify]

Lol

[@panzerkami2381]

So the kid gained 1 kg of muscle each week for 11 weeks straight? Yeah, that never happened because it's impossible. But I'm sure your adoring fans are going to swallow it whole and ask for seconds.

[@ludwigvonsowell5347]

PanzerKami eat all your normal meals (assuming. 2-3k calories 3-4 meals) throw in a quart of milk at every meal. Bound to put on weight maybe not that fast but pretty close.

[@jgpenniesworth442]

It is possible and it does happen.

[@frankchen4229]

well maybe tall but painfully skinny guys
