UFC Fighter and Geologist Julia Avila, The Raging Panda | Starting Strength Radio #27 

This was such a fun experience! Hopefully I get to make it on again in the future. Rip & crew are all amazing people and I’m blessed to have our paths cross. Speak softly and lift heavy shit. 🐼💜

2:10 Note to self: A couple of minutes in. Still not sure if Rippetoe or Brazzers video.

Wow Rip must be smitten, he actually let her talk .

Just ran across this. What a nice, relaxed conversation with a person of substance. Fun watch. Thanks.

Julia is awesome! Great sense of humor.

Great intro. Super podcast!

Smart, educated and strong. Perfect combo!

Bjj student here. In 2020 I did the linear progression during the govt reaction to.. you know, the thing. Put on a pound a week for two years. Went from 210 to 330lbs. I can attest to more mobility, stronger that everyone on the mat, lots of strength endurance. The two factor model of sports training is great

Nice episode! Thanks, Rip

Good interview. Including the discussion of geology. She’s smart and fun.

New fan of her. Also, I went to BJJ after a three month break yesterday and submitted a guy with more experience and 75 Lb on me - this is with only doing barbell training for two months.

Her: "I don't think I am a naturally gifted athlete" --- Mark: "What's your vertical jump?" ---- Her: "26" hahahahaha

"strength does not matter" - would you rather be hit by Henry Cejudo or by Francis Ngannou? Hm ... let me think ...

You should drive through New Hampshire. Lot of formations that highways run straight through.

Rippetoe got MeToo’d.

Geologist started using python. Found out about pandas. Found out about geopandas. Seached for "panda doing geology." This video is the first result.

16:20 we need a podcast about boxing

Hi Mark. Where can we post questions about strength training? Can you get strong with broken sets. I am failing on set 4 @3 reps for OHP. I rack the bar have 45 sec rest and start again and complete one rep. I rest again and complete the final 5th rep. Ultimately I complete all my volume 5x5 but it's broken. I also rest 7-8 mins which feels enough plus any longer I just get cold and adrenalin drops. I really appreciate the help. Mo

Mark Nippetoe

Mark "everybody from LA talks like they from California" Rippetoe

Julia plz Define plate tectonic and the types of rock and how they help in TKO/ko 😅

Darn i wish i knew her in OKC to train

Well i wake up at 2:45 to have time to prepare for witching hour.

4:05 you ain't Canadian

Rippetoe is a genius.....

where are all the cardio warriors

Poor Mark hahahha

51:37 🤣🤣 Give it to them flat earthers

The soccer players do lift weights in Europe

Cheech Marin, when he's not doing a character, also barely has an accent, because he was born in LA and his father was a LA cop.

And there is still gonna be one goober who still says "but muh lungs, won't they explode if they have to get oxygen to more muscle mass?" Or "cardio is THE most important thing in fighting" Lol you gotta love the haters

"You're so stoned, why would you ever be a lifter?" Because life is easier for anyone after they squat 400 lbs

She seems like a good quality person, good luck to her! HOWEVER, I must say I've met and trained with many "alpha male" girls like this over the years, high level girls in Muay Thai and Boxing, and in my experience they are a fucking nightmare once you get to know them. RED FLAG was when she says she's "stronger than the guys too" in her gym. No you are not, unless your gym is full of weak men. You already said everyone in the gym trains with barbells. You are not stronger than them. Trust me guys, these girls are hard fucking work to be around if you have to train with them and spar them. I know I'm being a dick here but god dam its the truth. If you know, you know.

I feel uncomfortable

All hail the first gen american!
