Women and Men are Different - The Facts on Neuromuscular Efficiency | Starting Strength Radio #2 

Thanks for standing up for women

It is amazing that we came so far as a society that people are confused when you tell them that women and men are biologically different. What a time to be alive !

Loving the new podcast. Sincerely the bottom 3%. I hope you do read RU-vid comments. Strength training has helped me manage my binge eating and body image disorder. A genuine thank you, the app was well worth the money. Week 1 Squat 75kg 3x5 bench 55kg3x5 deadlift 100kg 1x5 press 40kg 3x5 Week 9 squat 121kg 3x5 bench 69kg 3x5 deadlift 134kg 1x5 press 53kg 3x5 power clean 74kg 5x3

I’m a woman lifter I have been feeling the same it’s refreshing and needed for someone to state the biological deference between men and women when it comes to training right I’m in school at Focus Personal Trainings Institute and it barely in the curriculum

My mother used to be a medical transcriptionist and I remember one case she had to type up of a 78 yr old man who had gone from male to female back to male, and was now suicidal at 78 yrs old. She was so sad she was on the edge of weeping, something I never saw from her with regard to her profession. There are many ex transgender people speaking out against this medical madness, confirming it is a mental disorder that needs treatment as such, not physical mutilation.

I think it was helpful to have this transwoman compete because it gives us objective numbers. When she was a man she was around 270lbs and had a combined total of about 1200lbs. You can go into any descent gym and about 20% of the guys will have those kinds of numbers. Its nothing close to elite. Qualifying totals for nationals for that weight class in mens open is around 1600lbs. You have to be a 400/600/600 guy just qualify for nationals in the 275lb weight class. After going through transition. This transwoman now goes from begin a gym bro to a wold record holder. If she wasn't an elite powerlifter as a man she shouldn't be an elite powerlifter as a woman if there was not an inherent advantage.

I greatly appreciate your openness and honesty. It's about damn time

Keep these coming!

If this is a rights issue what about the rights of females to compete on a level playing field?

I have started your strength training programme and OMG it’s crazy hard but rewarding and challenging I LOVE IT. As a woman people approach me in the gym and ask why I am doing this? Why do I want to be strong? They think am mad. And I say why NOT?

Keep going with that podcasts, TY Rip!

This podcast intro is gold!!!!

Having to explain such a truism says a lot about the advanced state of ideological and intellectual degeneracy of our modern society!

Keep em coming!

Love this❤️❤️

Rip - thanks for updating us on Justin. His story is a tragic one and I wish him the best.

Very good episode

I'm from Korea. Many Korean women think men and women exercise differently. So Korean women spend their time doing hip abduction or hip extension or streching etc.. on a mat for almost an hour instead of doing squat and deadlift. And many Korean women trust women have to exercise this way and tend to avoid weighttraining. So it is difficult to see the women doing weighttraining in the gym. I wonder what kind of exercise women in other countries do in the gym. Is it the same or different from Korea?

Thaks for the information in 8:00 :)

The problem with too many divisions IS definitely an issue in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, especially for women and in the Masters divisions. It's very common to see divisions with only two or three people, and even more common to see people posting pictures of their "first place medal' that only required them to win a single match.

Rip,you are AWESOME!!! Thank you for trying to keep morals up held and pointing out "the immoral downfall of our country"...its truly a travesty...

Trans woman here who is a novice but firm believer in strength programming: Rip, I acknowledge your expertise when it comes to male and female biological strength needs. I started hormones (estrogen and T blockers) at 22, and now at 27, still fall within the "male" camp for the 1 rep max effects that you explained in this video. That being said, you mentioned a few times that you believe these differences in explosiveness come from inutero exposure to hormones. My hypothesis is that puberty has more to do with this difference than what happens to you as a baby. Have you trained any trans athletes who have been on blockers (lupron) at the onset of puberty? Jazz Jennings and Kim Petras are both really good examples of this since they had almost no testosterone exposure at all. Do you think that they would still favor male explosiveness/fatigue/etc.?

For some strange reason, armed guys that squat seem to get a lot fewer death threats than weaker people with the same opinions.

Fuck yes Rip. We need your voice!

I learned so much. I never new that training effect that women have with the rep schemes.

Thanks, Rip. This is looking very good. If you don't mind a question from a 3%-er, could you please talk a bit about the progression of the linear progression, especially when sets get heavier? The blue book talks about it in the Programming section, but still there are lots of blanks left (haven't got the Practical Programming book yet). For example, about the first time you fail to finish the last set with the increased weight, and how to go about it, and also how to tell that the linear progression is coming to an end (in the book you mention not being able to increase the weight for several weeks, if I remember correctly). Would be great to hear you talking about this stuff a bit.

The most fair solution I can think of is simply having separate classes for trans athletes. Yes this would mean there would be a smaller talent pool and less opportunity to compete locally but it would mean they have a higher chance to compete at nationals. It's not a perfect solution (and I don't think a perfect solution exists), I'm sure someone who transitioned at 10 would have a disadvantage over someone who transitioned in their 30s but it's a lot fairer than having cis and trans women competing together.

Nice shirt!

Hey Rip, at the meet where everyone got 1st place; that was a Stroud’s meet wasn’t it? 😂

Please open a Starting Strength gym in Evansville Indiana.

Biggest difference in men and women in lifting, when a woman squats people stop and stare. When i squat, people get nausea

If there's no difference wouldn't the whole gay argument go out the door.... I'm wanting to understand neuromuscular efficiency and you come up. :). You're brilliant!

My standing vertical jump went from 25" to 35" thanks to turkeysterone and creatines

Only in 2019 you need to say that women and men are different

I agree with you completely... except that you absolutely *should* go on Joe Rogan's podcast.

At around 5:50 you said one of the most important truths: NO JOKE!

Yes Rip, the NAACP is wrong. I completely agree.

We are the three percent!

Wish I was Murican. Greetings from low-t Old Europe.

"Seems like I seen something like that" 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂

You know how people get in car wrecks and lift a car and stuff? Is it really true that we only use 30/40% of our possible muscle mass? Or how else do you explain those feats of strength?

Mark Rippetoe vs John Wick, let's make this happen, people!

Living in the Age of chiun( chemosh) don't be shocked at anything.

I have to laugh over multiple age groups, I keep telling myself, some day I will my age group because I will be the only one in it! I don’t think it will be as satisfying.

There should be : Female ,.. Male ..and open competition (contrasting gender) and nothing more. I agree.

I feel like the title Men and Women Are Different shall get this video demonitized, but I hope not. Mark, you are a beast!

When you realize what the 1% has accomplished in our societey, imagine what we could accomplish together as the 3%!

at what point world went wrong, and is it possible to be fixed

Only 4 handguns?! I bet at least one of them was an AR “pistol”

Go on Joe Rogan

"...diiiahve in.."

Yeah, there a bunch of difference between humans, but thats the reason we have, not only gender categories, but weight classes, specially in sports where the objective is to hurt the other competitor.

XY will never be XX no matter how many hormones, surgeries. I cannot bear to watch my favorite womens college volleyball team as they getting demolished by trans women on the other team.

Competitive jiu jitsu does require a lot of explosiveness, so I can understand setting the age requirement for masters pretty low, although even I have to say that 30 is too low. And while we are on the subject, no, if you win masters, you are not considered a world champion.

Quick look at track and field records . The records for men and woman performance are very different. If there were no difference then woman making up at least 51 percent of the population would hold at least some of the records THEY do not. They meaning woman are spectacular athletes but they are on different levels then men at track and field. The records prove it.

This really is just the old "Ask Rip" podcast.... it is STILL GREAT but I liked the old name Better, calling it "Radio" makes it more plebeian, he becomes like anyone else. The old name was more unique because there are thousands of "Radios" on the net.... or perhaps call it "Rip's Strength Radio"?? ------Or, "Ask Rip Radio"?

I wonder if any of the Engineers from Prometheus are transgender athletes.

Proud 3%er! 😆

Olympic medals should be replaced with participation awards. We are all winners. Uh, wait a second. How do we decide who participates?

Whenever Rip starts to complement you on his podcast it means you're about to get owned.

You will comply.......Not...

**teleports behind u** Nothing personnell gramps

Testosterine

How dare you?

Man this junk makes me mad! They state things as fact that that are biologically false.

That's hate speech. Banned from RU-vid

There's nothing wrong with being a fascist

Are you still on about this, Rip? When you do you actually start talking about starting strength?
