I'd go to the autonomous zone in the Pacific Northwest, but there are too many roads to cross and we all know why hedgehogs are so endangered. When I'm a dolphin, I'm also very fluid and I use my blowhole in ways I'm not at liberty to discuss or describe here.
I agree about the sups, and while the NO products are mostly junk; When I used to buy L-Citrulline Malate and Beta Alanine and take 3-5 grams each before workouts, I had a noticeable boost in pumps during bodybuilding/accessories. The problem is that no products dose that high. Beet Powder seems to help a bit too, but I don't have as much experience with it to have a valid opinion. I actually notice in increase in pump when I take 1000-3000mg of Vitamin C during the day. Definitely helps maintain blood flow in areas that matter, if you catch my drift.
Almost every car I've had was manual. Can't believe how many people can't drive them. So much better than auto. Except when you're in fucking grid lock traffic. That's the damn worst right there.
A lot of my acquaintances beat their chests over the magic of masks. Then I ask them if they would allow a covid-positive, completely asymptomatic doctor to perform a tonsillectomy on them if the doctor was wearing a mask. Suddenly masks aren't so perfect. These are the same people who break out in hives when they have to consider sending their children back to school, even with strict mask and distancing protocols. Perpetually frightened people only want their fears to be validated. They do not want to be shown how to live without fear. In fact, they hate you for not being as scared as they are. The good thing about masks is that I can now assume that all the hot people are smiling at me or flirting at me with their tongues. I feel like a king. Plus, with all of the decorative masks, it looks like everyone in Walmart just put their underwear on wrong.

Maybe ask for videos when people are sending in questions. I understand that this is a “podcast”, but for the RU-vid audience it would be entertaining. Also, I understand that it is impossible to correct form through video, but again, it would be entertaining.
Interesting how Rip's response to you was "1. You're wrong. 2. You don't know what the fuck you're talking about". I was hoping Rip might actually refute your statement but maybe that's too much to ask...
I’ve been trying to reset my starting strength forum password; but at the non-random questions(state were rip lives, first word in first book, first name) it says the answer is incorrect I’ve tried: texas, starting, mark but it doesn’t work; any ideea why? I would like to submit a form check and ask advise on programming; Thanks!
I agree with Rip, if it’s true that someone was disqualified for wearing a mask incorrectly, it is stupid and wrong. Wearing a mask is not in any powerlifting rules. The total should stand. Pity this couldn’t go to court.
As one of the "haters" of Chase's press, I still find this video entertaining lol. You should include a "hater comment" section more often. It was funny
Nothing wrong with being 5'10" and 170. I am 5'10" and 160, and my weight hasn't held me back from deadlifting 400. I make sure to eat enough protein and all is well.
You haven’t watched much rip if you don’t think gaining weight would be good for your strength and not a problem for your health. I bet you’d pull 550 at 210
@@mrdrsir3781, I am not saying that more weights can't be better for higher lifts, but I think it depends on a person's weight goal; lifted and weighing. I cannot imagine weighing 210, anywho.

Chase's 365 press is more than most could even deadlift/squat. Let alone even unrack 365. The young man unracked 365 and did not jerked it but pushed it up over his head. I was amazed when I saw it and still in awe writing about it. And it looked like he had more in the tank too.
The stretch reflex and then layback he uses is like a pseudo-jerk, still very, very heavy obviously but not the same as starting with the bar motionless at/near the clavicles and then pushing it overhead while staying upright.
It's awesome. But I would have been more impressed if he had done that weight with a strict press. I 'd kil for such a strength though. Incredible lift. I' d like if Rip could tell us about the programming behind this feat of strength.

@@owenrung5182 This style of shoulder press is very old-fashioned and was removed from competitions a long time ago. Starting Strength has "revived" it, but the reasons for its initial death are clear - the form is very loose and dangerous. We humans stand on a relatively tall and thin frame. If you bend a tall thin frame and then add weight to the bent part, you are risking tipping it over, folding it, and snapping it.
kmidst_fn I would think us as humans are very adaptable beings. If volume and intensity are managed properly one can work up to doing almost any movement. It’s like a deadlifted that pulls with a very rounded back. I wouldn’t call this movement unsafe at all if it’s been trained and adapted too over time. Now I thought it was removed from the olympics dude to its inability to be judged. Some freak athletes got too good at laying back that and there was no solid like to draw on what would be deemed “correct” - just too much variability. But I haven’t done too much research in this area so I could be wrong.
@@owenrung5182 There doesn't seem to be a one single reason for the press going away, but loosening of the form was one of them too www.quora.com/Why-was-the-clean-and-press-removed-from-Olympic-weightlifting. I'm on the "it's bad for your body" side because of what I said. You can see that it puts fairly extreme bending force on your back. Yeah people can adapt to it, but "in-line" lifts are safer and more efficient. We only have one life, one body. One more point -> You're leaning backward with heavy weight, which makes it difficult to keep a center of gravity and you become prone to tipping slideplayer.com/slide/8137561/25/images/37/11.6+Center+of+Gravity+of+People.jpg

I've had covid 19 alongside my 84 year old mother (rheumatoid arthritis, thyroid issues, osteoporosis, high cholesterol) who I live with and care for. (Tested and positive). We both had cough and flu like symptoms. The worst was my mother's fear of the disease the worry that she'll end in hospital that was 4 weeks ago. Shes now fine and went shopping today and I started the gym last Saturday. We both have no issues
@@brandonschnurr3778 Not close enough sadly. I actually just started working out at that outdoor gym. It's really impressive what they did, but it is FAR from ideal.
We gotta support Atilis gym. Seriously considering showing up there one day in protest of the lockdown. They just broke down the barriers and reopened again in defiance of the state shutting them down.
If any student leaned back that far in an SS gym, I would think that an SS coach would correct their form no matter how much they were trying to press. If anyone sumo deadlifted in front of Rip he would most certainly correct their “bad form” despite how much weight they pulled. Reminds me of the ridiculous arch some power lifters use to turn the flat bench into a decline bench which was finally been banned in competition. - sincerely bottom 3%
If you need to gain weight, increase your eating with linear progression. Add a little more to your plate with every meal. When you drastically change your diet from one day to the other, that's when you get an upset stomach and wildly fluctuating energy levels. The body hates sudden changes.
1st week back on the gym after 4 months of furlough in the UK. Must admit it feels harder to to cover than I thought it would be to recover, but am averaging a 5k raise every workout. At 59 yoa, I suppose I have accept this, but sleep is hard to come by! I'll "Keep to the programme" and grind out the reps.

@@bmstylee Wild bill buddy, I can't believe we've been listening to this dumb guy all this time instead of you. Your constant stream of comments under his videos has finally converted me to your methods. Thank you so much!
Honestly I thought the standing incline press comments (and friends) were funny. But admittedly it's sometimes hard to tell which comments are attempts to discredit Chase, and which are just poking fun at a lifter they admire.
At 41:32 Rip, to me is just another Karen, who puts her side of the story above everybody else. Going to a meet is just like when you decide to enter private property. Either accept the rules on entering or do not and accept the consequences. As a referee on a medium level I do not take enforcing rules lightly. Being preachy on your rule to finish the last repetition on the last set of fives, put's you in a position where questioning other peoples rules and whether or not to enforce them seem to bee delicate. Your reasoning from first-principles helped me so much about strength. First-principles seem to be kind of difficult in politics.
Is rip complaining saying thta he should have been able to not wear his mask? At the end of the day we all have to deal with covid and the rules are the rules
@@bmstylee that's like saying someone deadlifted 800 lbs with a rounded back or squatted 700 with butt wink. I guarantee you Chase does not care what anybody has to say about his press technique, especially in the gym. It's not like this was an USSF comp
@@joshuabaker1836 so he's perfect for Instagram. Don't care if you get injured as long as it's a big weight. He should care about doing the lift properly. Your body will thank you later on in life.
@Real boxing Fan1 just watched the Larry Wheels 440 vid. It's impressive no doubt, but I think Chase could get 440 on a push press. Larry bent his knees and push pressed 440... really impressive
Corvairs are cool. I used to work for the corvair underground catalog rebuilding parts. What some people don't know it's that there was a corvair van, truck, and a very very rare RV, my boss had one of each type of corvair.

As long as it doesn’t involve squatting with the legs and ends with the body vertical and barbell overhead, I think it’s legit. I would go so far as to say someone truly doing a standing bench press lean would count as long as they can fully straighten out their body, get the barbell overhead, and lock out.
Sealed Chamber How would you do that? Are you talking about bouncing off your lean back? If so, that seems very risky. Not to mention, wouldn’t that compromise your ability to truly press it to lockout? I don’t see how a bounce from a lean back could give sufficient momentum needed to lock hundreds of pounds overhead.
@@obits3 What I meant was when you unrack it around chin level and then let it drop so that it creates a stretch reflex and helps propel the weight up past the sticking point a bit easily.
Sealed Chamber I usually puff the chest and drop the bar to touch my chest as a starting point. Just feels better. That said, I don’t think it would be safe to allow that to bounce. It’s more like I’m getting tight the same way you would make the bar tight on your back for a squat.
I sent this to starting Strength Radio. I think Mark should answer this one. Dear Rip, You are a math minded guy with a degree in Geology. You also like Conan that mentions Atlantis. What do you think? Was Atlantis real? Should Plato's Critias (his book on Atlantis) be treated as a historical reference rather than a philosophical reference. In the book Critias, with regards to Atlantis, I believe that Plato was in fact describing a real exact place, not a mythical or metaphorical one. After being educated about George S. Alexander's Atlantis theory, I became a firm believer that Atlantis is (or was) a real place. George Alexander states that the Richat Structure/Eye of the Sahara is the location of the concentric circular city of Atlantis. Alexander also states that the Sahara in 9,600 BC was covered in water. That water would have made the Eye of the Sahara (that is now on just dry land) into a concentric circle island. Alexander notes that the Eye of the Sahara lies within a huge plain as described by Plato. Plato used the unit, stadia, for his descriptions about the size things in his book Critias. A stadia is 607 feet, or 185 meters. Plato's description about the island of Atlantis having an outer diameter of 127 stadia (14.6 miles) matches the outer diameter of the Richat Structure/Eye of the Sahara almost exactly. This can be verified on Google Earth. There is a large plain that surrounds the Richat Structure. Plato mentions a large plain that surrounds Atlantis of 2000 by 3000 stadia. The Richat Structure plain that Plato mentioned matches closely. In Plato's writing, Critias, Atlantis is described in colorful language, but at NO point does Plato say that the Atlantians had any special technology, not even iron. Plato States that the Atlantians built structures out of just rocks. Plato did NOT state that the Atlantians had megalithic abilities like the Egyptians had. Plato made mention of the mythical metal orichalcum in Atlantis, but orichalcum is really just fancy name for copper alloy. Basically, according to Plato, the Atlantians had little more technology than Native North America tribes, but less technology than Incas and Mayans, no megalithic Pyramids. The Atlantians were not an iron age culture. More Notes: -Plato's Atlantis had a fresh water well at the center of the island. George Alexander found a fresh water well at the center of the Richat/Eye of the Sahara. All other wells that are close to the Richat are salt water. -Plato's Atlantis was covered in red, white and black rocks. The Richat Structure is all red, white and black rocks. -Ancient human Skeleton's have been found by researchers in throughout the modern dry (waterless) Sahara. These skeletons date back to 8000 to 7000 BC. The researchers claimed that the bones of the skeletons turned black from being submerged in water. Several ancient harpoons and fishhooks were found by the skeletons. The researchers had nothing to do with proving, disproving or mentioning Atlantis or any of George Alexander's work., but they conclude the Sahara was covered in water around 8,000 BC. -Herodotus (unrelated to Solon, Plato or Critias) also drew an ancient map of Europe and North Africa. "Atlas" (the mythical King of Atlantis) and "Atlanteans" are labeled on that map in North West Africa. You can do a simple search as well to look at Herodotus's map with Atlantis labelled on it, as well as Hyperboria. "Atlanteans" looks to be relatively close to the modern Richat Structure. -The Atlas (King of Atlantis) Mountains are relatively close to the Richat Structure. George Alexander's theory could be bull shit, but I think his theory is at least worth looking at, above all alternative historical theories. The geological, geometric, geographic and chronological findings seem to be at least somewhat convincing. If Atlantis is proven to be a true place it radically changes ancient western history. Proof of an Atlantis existing does far more than prove that just another ancient place existed around 9,600 BC. Proof of Atlantis also likely proves that a very ancient Athenian culture existed in 9,600 BC, and that had to do with the founding of an Egyptian civilation that would later exist in 8,600 BC (thousands of years before Old Kingdom). George Alexander's Atlantis theory could be to history, what Einstein's Relativity was to physics: a radical change. Rip, what do you think: geology, math, science, George Alexander's theory? *A fun, non scientific, note about Conan the Barbarian James Earl Jones was an Atlantian in the Movie. His Atlantean character was enslaving the world. The Atlantian's slavery was fought against by the Northerner, Conan. Parallel to the movie, Conan the Barbarian, Plato's other book about Atlantis, "Timaeus", the Atlantians go out conquering the world, enslaving people, until they are defeated by the Greek Athenians.
Oh dearest Pink Fat Man I'm recovering from a herniated disc in L5-S1 and recently started doing the big lifts again. They have of course already helped me more than the physical therapy, I've wasted almost a year on. My problem is that I can't do both squat and deadlift the same session, with any meaningfull weight without having pain the next day. If I wan't to do both I'll have to lower the weight so much I don't feel any stress or fatigue anywhere. My solution is to do alternate between them every session in an 8 day program. Getting in 2x squat and 2x deadlift. I'm wodering if you have any ideas on the matter? Here are "ma stats" for referense if it helps. I'm 30 years 170cm and 85kg Last year before the injury. And where I'm at now. Dead. 200, now 120 Squat 150, now 90 All for fives
This dude is extremely strong and he has my respect. But it is true that it is a bit weird that the form is allowed to be so bad in this feat. Well i guess its ok in a meet if those where still used to compete. But don't you think its bad to show so bad form, so that new people coming into the sport sees this and thinks this is ok? It can be dangerous if people try and do this alone and theyre not into it. When very poor form is being used it's always going to raise eyebrows and you have to acknowledge that i think
Pleased we managed some “haters” however, very limited subject matter. The COVID-19 situation will continue to some extent for many years, the global cost simply massive.
@@nicholashuth9220 I'm getting pretty tired of having to recite this to people like you who insist that COVID is "just like the seasonal flu", but here I go again. Try to pay attention. The most deadly flu season of the last 20 years in the US was the 2017-2018 season. In that 12 month span, roughly 45 million people were infected and 60,000 people died. There was no lockdown, no attempts at social distancing, no mask wearing, etc. That's a case fatality rate of 0.13%. COVID-19, in contrast, over the span of 6 months has infected 4.4 million and killed 150,000 in the US. That's *with* lockdowns, masks, distancing, etc. That's a crude case fatality rate of 3.4%. COVID-19 with lockdowns, masks, and distancing is 26 times more deadly than the seasonal flu is with everyone going on about their business.
But there is a competitive purpose.... CrossFit is excessive overload on technical lifts without a systematic process behind it. Lift the big tyre is a goal. You either do it or you don’t. 😂
Hey rip I've been suffering from insomnia for 6 years now and have been training for about 4 years. I am 24 and get about 3 to 4 hours of sleep daily and 5 hours on a good day. I recently found about you and your goldmine of information regarding strength training and I have become obsessed. My question is if I were to hop on the program would I have to be on a bastardized version of it or do the program as intended. I am still pretty young so I could probably get away with my poor sleep for now but I wanted to get your thoughts. Thanks in advance.

@@scheff0815 I was diagnosed with very mild sleep apnea. Was put on a sleep apnea machine for 6 months and it did absolutely nothing. I've done everything you could possibly think of and still 5 or 6 years later still no luck.
The death rate is the percentage of positive infected cases who've died. Not reported deaths vs entire population regardless of infection. Why wear a mask if social distancing works? Vice versa? Well, why buckle up when you have air bags and why have air bags when you have speed limits? Use a little logic.
That's what it is though. We all talked smack about the people with a huge arch when bench pressing, and this is the same idea of compensating in a lift by changing the angle. Ironically, the press is the substitute for bench pressing in "strength lifting" comps in order to avoid the bench press arching.....
10:20 is that really racism? I mean, obviously it's a negative stereotype or opinion about the Hispanic Ethnicity (Hispanic is not a race, it's an ethnicity), and it's rude to say something so negative about such a large group of people without even presenting any evidence, but I looked at a few definitions of racism and I don't think it meets even the most lose definitions of racism (mainly because, again, Hispanic is an ethnicity, not a race). Going by the more strict definitions, it's not a policy causing negative consequences for, or even an intolerance of, Hispanics, and I don't think a random internet comment meets the criteria of power + prejudice, either, because random internet comments have no power behind them. Unless of course you believe that speech can cause harm, in which case you have to make the value judgment that reading is good or pirating all media is bad. Ultimately I think the harshest you can judge the statement is prejudicial and an unfounded negative stereotype. Please note I only even wrote this comment because Mr. Rippetoe asked if there was any other way to interpret/evaluate that statement and I'm basically autistic so I couldn't help thinking it through. I think the commenter is wrong and that many Hispanic people read, and that many of them pay for the media they consume. I like Hispanic people. I think the commenter is a rude asshat and wouldn't see the problem if Mr. Rippetoe banned him from his forum for being a rude asshat.
Few people died where i am so the pandemic was not a problem. Yeah. Great study there Rip. Send you a postcard from Lombardy some time. Didn't quite work out as you say there.
Social distancing "works" in that it is better than not social distancing. Wearing a mask works similarly. Together they work better than either one individually. This is the logic.
Actually I thought Rips nickname derived from his name - but obviously this is due to his attitude towards masks. RIP if you think he knows about Covid.
