Starting strength gym member here and while it is true you can adapt to increasing the weight you life over time with proper progressive overload, it is ALSO true that you can train your cardiovascular system to adapt to increasing stress and improve endurance, enhancing both your fat oxidation level and VO2 max.. The same principles apply. That Rippetoe simply refuses to recognize this is one of the reasons he is a dogmatic prick. But hey, love you man!!!
I love seeing what the Christian has done for Starting Strength as opposed to those 2 Jewish doctors. Not that it's about that. It's just an observation - like how lifting heavy things makes you stronger.
Eh? I've built 30 lbs with sets of 3 and 5. The range for hypertrophy is between 4 and 20 reps with 6-12 being optimal. But Rip's deal is trying to build STRENGTH in the fundamental movement patterns. Hypertrophy is simply a consequence of improved strength.
you all fatSS lifters who looks like an obese person on the street no one of you have even a real picture here why?Are you ashamed of what you look like?.,
If strength is the be all end all, then over weight strongmen and powerlifters would be the grestest athletes on the planet, right? Strength is important, but so is mobility and cardiovascular health. I deadlift, I squat, I bemch and overhead press. But just going heavy on those lifts isnt the only thing you need to do. And saying grandma is weaker than the grandson because she doesn't lift heavy is ridiculous. There is a lot more to it than drinking milk and deadlifting. Come on
@axnoro3776 I agree powerlifters are athletes. I never said they weren't. I just said there is more to being in good shape than just lifting heavy. Strength is important, but its not the only thing that's important.
You're not comprehending the point. Rip isn't saying strength is the only thing. He's saying that it is the PRIMARY thing. I'm not sure why people are unable to comprehend this point.
@jameskielland5018 maybe it has something to do with the way he says it. When he says " if you get stronger, everything in the world imporoves" " your kids now respect you, your wife is no longer a cheater, the promotion at work, its yours! All because you added 5lbs to your deadlift. 😆

@@Cube_Ernator1077l do 500 for 10 reps easy you se my pic? now you show me your picture and we will so how much muscle you build with that one rep of deadlift If we met at the gym, I would laugh at you because you don't look like you lift
