Bodyweight to height ratio | Ask Rip #51 

Dylan L He said he is a Starting Strength coach now.

Dylan L spotter! Well done

Good eye

TRAIN UNTAAAMMMMEEDDD!!!!

What time

Poor dude in the blue sitting in the metal folding chair 😂

@@jordemort5359 lol I was gonna say...he's probably an intern or something. The dude in the baseball cap is probably Rippetoe's right-hand-man and gets the decently comfortable chair.

MercuryNSJ Haha he’s the youngest of the bunch which means he gets the crappy chair

@@crankymcgee that’s Austin Baraki. Definitely not an intern. Check out Barbell Medicine to see more of him.

Sets of fiveh with hip driveh.

Bryon Lape dip driveh

He has a donut eating disorder

supa set!

can't have just 4 gotta eat fivvehh

While I don’t think all vegans have an eating disorder I developed one by becoming vegan I’m vegetarian now and I eat all of the eggs and mike and butter and ice cream and I’m fatter stronger and happier

dawgsmycopilot how are your results now?

The people we're talking about here is probably different. You're looking at kids who are probably putting in 8 - 16 hours a week training. I'm quite sure most of the kids here aren't overweight or obese.

Nothing wrong with losing weight. But people need to get off this philosophy of the number on the scale has to be lower. So many people I know who are not fat want to lose weight, not fat, just weight. I told him he should train strength because muscle mass and lifting weights would help him burn calories. "But if I gained muscle and lost fat, I might still go Up in weight." His response blew my mind.

Most people chuckle because the sport specific training of wrestling will cause you to drop weight, most states if not all has alpha to deal with weight cuts

That is awesome

I guess what they meant is that nutrition makes an obese person, or anyone actually, less fat. Resistance training will help if the person is able to perform the movements, but I quote what Mark said "The nutrition becomes the training" meaning that for an obese person the amount of will ti takes to adhere to a diet plan is already pretty hard, so adding strength training on top of that right from the start, might interfere with their adherence to the weight loss program

Cardio is overrated. As long as you are strong and walk enough during the day, you should be fine.

For very cold temps, yes. Otherwise, probably not necessary.

Here is a quote from SS third edition- ..."Warm-ups serve two very important purposes. First, warm-ups actually make the soft tissue - the muscles and tendons, and the ligaments that comprise the joints - warmer. General warm-up exercises increase the temperature in the soft tissue and mobilize the synovial fluid in the joints. These exercises include walking fast or jogging, riding an exercise bike (a better method, due to the greater range of motion the knees are exposed to during the exercise, better preparing them for the squat), or using a rowing machine (the best method, due to its range of motion and the full involvement of the back and arms as well as the legs). Specific warm-ups, like the empty-bar sets of the barbell exercise itself, also serve to warm, mobilize, and stretch the specific tissues involved in that particular movement. This step is important for injury prevention, since it is more difficult to injure a warm body than a cold one.... ...It is foolishness to neglect warm-ups. Many government school programs, in an attempt to implement a strength program without allotting sufficient time to do it, omit most of this crucial part of the workout. The coach in charge of a program that does this commits malpractice. Please heed the following rather strong statement: if your schedule does not allow time for proper warm-up, it does not allow time for training at all. It is better to omit strength training from your program than to suffer the inevitable injuries that will result from lack of warm- up. Yes, warm-ups are that critical." I guess things have changed since the book was printed.

Haha butt in the ground for 30reps. Ripoff a toe will explode.

Thats austin baraki

First of all, he hasn't been vegan for that long, second of all, he's an athletic freak and a work horse, third, he's on steroids.

Gotta check if his steroids are really vegan, cause they definitely aren't natural.

@@vusaltahmazli5917 He actually adressed this in his previous videos and was very open about it.

His thinking: You look at 198, 181lbs men? Every man should weight at least 200, regardless of height. He actually said that weight doesn't depend on height in another video.

Austin Baracki (Barbell Medicine) Matt Reynolds (Barbell Logic)

Or to look at some people streching

I don't see how it's not optimal there's no science that's projected in what Ripp is saying. Having 2-500% BCAA profile and adequate protein a day in a caloric surplus is what I'm getting. Exactly how isn't that optimal?

Yes it's very very possible to be jacked, strong and vegan. And if you think otherwise than honestly you don't have a grasp on nutrition. And no I'm not a vegan.

@@sweetcheex Vegans have to supplement with lots of b vitamins and amino acids and protein in order to stay healthy.

No they had a falling out. Baraki and feigumbaum set up bbm.. thrall went with them too. I guess the egos were too big for one company. I'm more an ss fan

How about bbm?

What was the falling out?

@@dalebraithwaite6890 programming protocol was part of it, I believe political opinions might have been part as well. Barbell medicine put out a letter making a statement that kind of addressed the falling out.

Because then on at least a sub-concious level he would have to admit it's not really fair to kill stuff for brotein, when you can just eat lots of beans. Far easier to pass it off as something else.

@@ajasen jissn.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12970-014-0064-5 Here is a study comparing Pea Protein to Whey Protein for muscle building which concludes: "Since no difference was obtained between the two protein groups, vegetable pea proteins could be used as an alternative to Whey-based dietary products." The only protein source deficient in essential amino acids is gelatin which contains no tryptophan. Where do animals get the proteins that build their muscle tissues? Plants are the original source.

Because he enjoys triggering people. Just laugh.

@@MultiSoccerMan Humans are not ruminant herbivores for fucks sake. We do not have the digestion system of ruminant herbivores. Try eating grass all day and see if you can grow the 400kg of lean muscle a cow can...

Rip is a training coach. Real old school. Not the guy to ask about vegan-specific nutrition. Calories are calories, protein is protein. It's not hard to figure out. Get a bag of pea protein and a bag of brown rice protein and mix 1:1 and you have an outstanding protein supplement with no carb, 1 g fat per serving, and no farts or acne. Peanut butter has 2,800 calories in a 1 lb jar, 3 quarters of which is fat. Rice, and black beans with a peanut butter sauce is filling and fuels gains. Don't ask the 60 year old overweight bbq fiend for vegan diet advice lmao

Being vegan is stupid. I was stupid for almost 10 years and it was terrible for my health. There are things in Animal based food that your body NEEDS. This is why Vegans tend to be small and weak.

Yep. The recipe for being miserable is being a vegan. I know from experience. It was an eating disorder.

Here's the problem. Mark has been asked most of these questions so many times that he needs to be able to draw a line, so he can stay within his realm of expertise. Here are some example questions that cause the same problem- "What do I do with an athlete that doesn't want to squat or deadlift?" "What do I do with an athlete that will only train once per month?" "What do I do with an athlete that wont eat meat or drink milk?" "What do I do with an athlete that doesn't make payments when I bill him/her?" Why should he bother answering those questions? Most of those questions are 'You're not doing the program". If you don't squat and deadlift, YNDTP. If you don't eat, YNDTP. If you don't train regularly, YNDTP. "Hi, Mark, what does a Starting Strength coach do with a client that refuses to do Starting Strength?" WTF, how can you possibly find a way to criticize Mark here? VEGANISM is NOT DOING THE PROGRAM. Mark is only responsible for Starting Strength, not some other bullshit.

There's not reason you can't supplement protein/creatine and do the program. The sum total of changes will be "your food is going to be more expensive than it would otherwise be"

Khechari Im highly plant based and I cant do nothing but agree whit what you are saying edit:with

fat people have no more muscle mass than any other untrained person.

Did all this vegans just GOMAD?

I hate the fact that vegans like to preach and talk BS trying to change people life like those damn Amway People It's people choice to eat what they like, same as people who drink coke or not

Johnz Bobz You don't have to kill to drink coke. If you don't think killing animals begs a moral question you are pretty ignorant. I am not a vegan, but your argument is weak and you sound dumb.

Cue 'outrage' at bigotry!! What's wrong with outrage at 'bigotry'

"He's got an eating disorder" Says the guy with the 48" waist.

Compared to what? I'm sure you can eat a lot of processed crap designed in a laboratory, but how is your gut health? What studies do you have that show the long term efficacy of such an unnatural diet?

Bradford Bradington none of that was lab food. Millions and millions of people live their entire lives as vegetarians. They’re perfectly fine-you can really get away with a lot when it comes to nutrition

It took u 5500 kcal to achieve 200 g of protein yet in an omnivorous diet u can get 200 g of protein and not exceed 2500 kcals easy

Carbs lead to diabetes.

Graham Stephenson are you asking so that you have the right to criticise him? Lol

So 5'11" in the 74kg weight class is too light? My first meet is in one week. Small state so looking to place.

@@Re3iRtH that's far too skinny even for women

neems hunter yup

Yes

Go somewhere else weirdo

That's quite surprising. I didn't know that. Almost all record holders seem to be short little guys for their weight.

You mean the opposite right? Your comments is stating that they're all 5'10" or taller.

Could be wrong but I’m pretty sure they cut weight. So 181ers aren’t really 181

I believe he is over 60, but the real comparison is how fat is he compared to his peers? He is not nearly as fat as MANY older folks and WAY stronger than almost all of them.

Moving Millennials no. Veganism for retards

Moving Millennials What is an eating disorder? If you have a physical flaw with your jaw, teeth, tongue, etc. that would get in the way of eating, would that be an eating disorder? As far as I've seen the term used, it applies to psychological reasons for failing to eat a healthy diet in a healthy way. Vegans eliminate meat and all animal products from their diets. Some people think this can be done in a healthy way, and others disagree. It comes down to the definition of a healthy diet. Is it healthy to consume industrial products to replace missing vitamins from your diet which would have been supplied by animal products? Rip could make a very strong case for his claim that veganism is an eating disorder if he did so from the perspective of attacking the motivations of most vegans. Are you a vegan because you think animal products are bad for you? Then you're demonstrably wrong, and your refusal to accept your mistake could constitute a delusion and lead to the diagnosis of an eating disorder, just as how anorexic people have delusions about their appearance. Are you a vegan because you believe it is morally wrong to use animals? This would fall closer to religious dogma than psychological problems, but depending on the level of delusion involved in this conclusion, it could also be evidence of an eating disorder. The medical establishment is in the business of being the medical establishment. Psychology is especially prone to quackery followed by sweeping it under the rug later, introducing more quackery, etc. I am concerned about people who seek out radical ideologies and ethical systems such as veganism in general, simply because it is typically a sign of unsolved personal issues that are being projected on the rest of the world instead of being addressed as part of individuation.

Vegans have an eating disorder. Their world view doesn't make sense. They are a waste of time.

I think he meant the specific case of that person

i agree with you millenial he needs to approach this with the same logic and thoughtfulness that he approaches everything else and he fell short

Alexey Eremin how does stretching help you stay injury free exactly?

ANOTHER MORON

at his age you would not give a fuck, he is basicly retired

He's 60 and still lifts more than you. What's your point? Why is everybody so damn concerned about the choices he makes? Worry about your own back yard.

You two guys think his health is a good reflection of the strength sports? I don't. And he doesn't get a free pass on being two or three years away from a major heart attack while representing strength sports any more than anyone else. This an opinion but it's an opinion shared by veterans of fitness, body building, has well has strength sports. And just has importantly alot of young men looking in at these sports and seeing the broken bodies of out of shape gurus wonder what use is this knowledge. I see becoming strong has part of a deeper search for value, porpoise, and meaning in a person's life has well has embracing masculinity and control over yourself. Has a culture we should embrace fitness, which includes strength, without makeing strength the end all result. Could a person say defending Ripatoe's weight is part of the fat acceptance movment? Yeah, and that's garbage.

@@simonadventures3727 how exactly is it cleansing?

It says to walk, run, ride an exercise bike, or use a row machine for 15 minutes or so (depending on temperature of the gym), do two sets with an empty bar, and then do a few warm up sets with lighter weights; although, the wording about how to calculate the weight is confusing. Pages 297-300 if you're interested.

What did he say in the book? It's been a long time since I read it.

Basically, just what I wrote in my second comment to Alex K. There's more detail in the book, but it's three pages, so I won't type it back out here.

hmmm I don't remember everything in the book too. I was reading 3rd edition and I remember reading that doing couple of sets with empty bar is enough to warm up. In any case what I personally do is I start with whatever weights I can lift 10 reps for as my warm up set, and then gradually increase weight till my 3 rep max 160 bp 200 squat and 220 dl works fine for me, but I guess for some guys who have office jobs or very physically easy jobs perhaps more intencety will be required.

I see it now, those comments weren't showing up before. Personally I warmup with the bar for 10 reps and add weight while lowering reps till I get to my work sets. I agree with Rip's position (in this video) about long warmups detracting from your lifting so treadmill/bike/rowing should be done after.

Pearl became a vegetarian at age 39 which means for 39 years he ate and trained with a meat diet. That means I could train as a powerlifter for 20 years, break a bunch of records, switch to being a vegan and now I'd be the vegan powerlifter that broke a bunch of records? C'mon now.

Goodbye snowflake go cry somewhere else fuckin buffoon

@@KamSwope LMAO you're clearly the snowflake. Look how triggered you got over a critique of Rippetoe's nonsense. Cry harder.

@@ChernobylAudio666 Clarence Kennedy has been vegan for years and can outlift everybody in that room. And he looks way better than all of them. Vegan diets are compatible with strength training. Rippetoe is wrong all the time.

good

No it isn't. A disorder is as the word suggests, a condition of not being normal, or orderly. If the majority of the world was Bulimic, Bulimia wouldn't be a disorder. The majority of the world eats meat and plants, therefore not following this makes you abnormal, or disorderly. This is one of the issues with medical definitions of disorder. It may not be unhealthy, but it doesn't follow the norm.

Emanuel Vellios Do you think people in third world countries have the luxury of being vegan? It's an eating disorder because you are consciously making the decision to deprive yourself and make unnecessary restrictions in your diet.

I think what he means is that its an unnatural framework for nutrition that a strength coach shouldn't be expected to make an accommodation for because its impossible to consume the required amount of protein to make strength gains without consuming animal products.

If you want to get fat, try getting 200 grams or more of protein with real food on a vegan diet.

Rip being Rip, the guy is a straight shooter, I don't agree with his libertarian ideology but I can appreciate his argumentative style as saying things in less than delicate manner just to provoke the "special snowflakes" who go out of there way to be offended by nonsense.
