  • @jk6869
    @jk6869 4 года назад +12

    In the military we learn to use Standard Operating Procedure (SOP). This is not what you do all of the time regardless of conditions, but rather the optimal things you do under optimal conditions. SOP is a point of departure from which to continue when things get wonky or go totally sideways, and the baseline to return to when conditions normalize. Maybe people can conceive of the Starting Strength program as SOP, rather than “dogma.” So if you get hurt and you can only high bar squat, then do the program like that. If, for instance, you’re older and you can only do work sets of 3s, then do the program like that. If you’re an advanced lifter and you need to change your programming, or maybe you need to train certain movement patterns (like firemen do), then add those to the program. I don’t think Rip is asking anyone to be an automaton.

    I used to train bjj a little more casually (around 4-5x per week) and was doing starting strength on top of it.
    It got me to a 145kg squat 3x5 which was pretty impressive considering all the bjj !

When people call me dogmatic, I wear that shit like a badge. We're interested in getting stronger and that's it. Fuck your cardio, fuck your stretching, fuck your bosu balls; ours is a radical approach to strength and that's it. If that's what people want to call dogmatic then you're God-damned right. If you want to become stronger like I do, then you will internalize the dogma and embrace that shit with all your heart. End of story.

    This is one of your best episodes. Comments from the haters was a little lame. But that's their fault and you did what you could with what they wrote.
    Your staff did drop the ball when they defined the term dogma in response to your question about the terms etymology. Their mistake isn't that they didn't go back to the Greek but that they failed to point out that the criticism about you is that you are dogmatic. In other words it's your pedagogy not your dogma which is criticised when people say that Rip is overly dogmatic. I do wish your example of the grandmother who was unable to do bodyweight squats and started on the leg press machine was in the Starting Strength book.

      If you had any life experience, you would recognize that those are the words of a desperate man.
      Jordan Feigenbaum is not primarily a doctor, scientist or powerlifter. He is a whey powder peddler, a businessman, and than everything else.
      Those here that think the split with SS happened because of different viewpoints and ideologies, are just naive. It was about the cash, it always is.
      I ran The Bridge. My rack pull and row did increased some. My squat and deadlift, not so much. Feigenbaum says that The Texas Method is not appropriate for an early intermediate. But pin squats and CGBP are? Where is "data" on that, Doc?
      EDIT: by "desperate", I don't mean that he is a pathetic virgin or anything like that.
      Jordan is a sucessful businessman and powerlifter.
      I simply meant to say that he is not above insulting and putting down the company that basically made him who he is today (Starting Strength), in an attempt to make himself look more credible and knowledgeable and trying to make them look incompetent and their method outdated. All just to earn more money.

    Ona more serious note, could you talk about gym etiquette? Tonight I was doing skull crushers at the gym (I am an older woman, if that matters) and some asshole decided to do his dumbbell flyset over my head. After asking him to move (gym was empty), he persisted. Beyond rude, I did not have confidence that he could hold the dumbbells and not hit my head.
    I moved twice with the barbell, he followed. I noted the behavior, said something to management, and left for the evening.
    I think it would be beneficial if someone of your caliber could talk about gym etiquette and safety. TIA

    I think this was a valuable response to the choruses of misinformed opinions about what SS is or what it stands for. I also think, however, that certain attitudes that Rip espouses, such as the idea that veganism is an eating disorder or what comes off as complete disdain for cardio in any form, also implies a dogmatic or inflexible attitude that seemingly refuses to change with the times or to evolve. It is important to distinguish between Rip's personal beliefs and "the program," and I think this podcast does a good job of articulating what the program is. While I don't run SS myself, I certainly incorporate elements of it into my training and I can't imagine not doing so.

    • @qc85243
      @qc85243 4 года назад +3

      @ResistanceQuest his disdain for cardiovascular is primarily aimed at those doing a novice linear progression. This is because you will not fully recover between sessions if you are throwing in cardio. He does, of course, have disdain for those who insist on cardio to the exclusion of resistance training, especially if that advice comes from someone in the medical profession.

    It would be interesting to hear how you arrived at this particular formula for reps, sets, number of workouts per week etc. If this is the optimum way to train, if it's arithmetic, then you should be able to show your working, i.e. show that this is how you increase strength as quickly as possible. It's difficult to do because it's impossible to do a well controlled experiment.

    I wish he'd gone more deeply into that.... what happens when the LP stops working?? those "more complicated" things would be a huge help to many people, but I have a sense that he cannot go into it too much because "at that level it depends on the person and his genetic recovery ability etc etc" in other words it has to be way more personalised, individualised.

  • @anon4334
    @anon4334 4 года назад +10

    This argument seems disingenuous. From what I've seen, when people criticize SS as being "dogmatic", it's never about the general idea of stress recovery adaptation or linear progression, but what you've described here as stupid little details. For example, when people ask on the forums about substituting exercises or other modifications (such as rep range, 4's or 6's instead of 5's), the standard response is "YNDTP" and a link to the article "A Clarification".
    From the first paragraph of that article:
    "Here’s the deal: the novice linear progression, as described in both Starting Strength: Basic Barbell Training and Practical Programming for Strength Training is very specific in the details of its application, and there is not much room for wiggling."
    That's what people find dogmatic.

    • @anon4334
      @anon4334 4 года назад +1

      @The Franklin The timecode you linked is exactly what I was alluding to, in order to highlight the difference between how he frames the "stupid details" here vs on the forum.
      From what I've seen in those threads, sometimes it is just a case of some clueless person not doing the program, asking why it doesn't work. But in many cases, it's someone who HAS tried to stick to the program as written, and are still failing. In those cases, at best they're flippantly told something akin to 'Do what you want, I'm not your father', at worst, called a snowflake, troll, or liar.
      The message you come away with after reading the forum is "not much room for wiggling" (what some people might call dogmatic), despite what he says here about flexibility in increments.

      @The Franklin Rip has nuance? Hah. He has said "We're the only ones doing the science", "no other books besides starting strength are worth reading for strength training", "RPE is coaching malpractice", etc.
      Rip has basically jumped the shark as an information provider. He used to at least somewhat reasonable 5 years ago, now he's just committed to every stupid thing he's said despite the strength and conditioning world having accumulated tons of new valuable information he refuses to update his material with.

    • @dafunkmonster
      @dafunkmonster 4 года назад +1

      An On “But in many cases, it’s someone who HAS tried to stick to the program”
      Tried and failed, most of the time, for lack of concentration or reading comprehension or something to that effect.
      There’s a reason why “The First Three Questions” article exists.
      Just last week, I saw someone who complained of their press having stalled, and was contemplating doing away with the press altogether. After some prying, it turned out that they were eating at a huge deficit (despite not being morbidly obese) and only resting three minutes between sets. All the literature - the book, the videos, the website - make quite clear that rest times between sets must increase to anywhere from 5-10 min, or else progress will not be made, because at 3 minutes rest, you’re not creating a force production stress, you’re creating a cardiovascular/conditioning stress. But people apparently don’t bother to read this info, or they never internalize it. Ergo, they’re failing to do the program.
      Most of the time - 90% - when a person stalls, it’s because they’re not doing to program - specifically, they’re not following the core principles of the program. They’re not eating enough, they’re not getting enough sleep, they’re taking jumps that are too big, etc. IOW, they failed to internalize the principles of the program.
      A small minority of the time , a person who has stalled is actually no longer a novice, and needs to move on to intermediate programming.
      Pretty much all questions fall into those two categories. There is essentially no one who is *actually*, *faithfully* doing the program, who is still a novice, and is not making progress. Everyone who fails to make progress has either arbitrarily imposed their own constraints on the program, or is no longer a novice.

    • @dafunkmonster
      @dafunkmonster 4 года назад +1

      perman07 Well, RPE is stupid. It’s stupid for intermediate and advanced lifters, because your perception of difficulty or exertion is a psychological phenomenon, and isn’t necessarily correlated to your actual capacity to generate force or your capacity to recover. This is *especially true* for novice lifters, who don’t have a damn clue what “heavy” actually feels like.
      I suppose people are free to screw around with RPE if they want. But to me, it seems silly to base your training on perceptions about difficulty rather than objective performance metrics (such as “did I fail my planned set?”).
      I can’t count the number of times when I thought “there’s no way I can finish one more rep”, and then I finish it anyway. Or the number of times I’ve thought “the next one will be no problem”, and then failed it. What I learned is that my perception of exertion is meaningless - it’s driven more by my psyche or my mood than anything else.

    • @perman07
      @perman07 4 года назад

      @@dafunkmonster Spoken as someone who has no personal experience with RPE. Also a straw-man, because few RPE-users claim it's very accurate, and accuracy is really beside the point.
      The point is accumulation of submaximal, clean, consistent volume at loads that are still relatively large. If a TM 5x5 volume day is trained at around 80 of 1RM and you instead now do the same at around 75%, you can now do the same thing twice a week, along with more volume on a lighter day.
      A typical RPE-based program has around maybe maybe 15-25 work sets of squats a week compared to 9 working sets on SS or TM, with a lower fatigue. This increases the stimulus/fatigue ratio and changes the paradigm from heavy and light days to a bunch of medium days.
      Once you get out of the SS bubble, you'd be able to experience how this leads to greater gains, but whatever. I doubt you're willing to test whether Rip is wrong and try out the types of programming that are actually winning at powerlifting competitions nowadays. Rip honestly sucks at post-novice programming, but you have to discover this for yourself.
