Rip I am sorry of this is the wrong place to ask, but I live in Pearland and have always looked up to you as a man for your intellectual responses to questions as well as your incredible ability to teach men and women of all age groups. My mother is a bit older (60s) and has hip problems and as she has aged she has become very immobile and is in a lot of pain. I have never in my entire 24 years of living seen my mother run or squat down. She has had limited mobility for many years, and I wish to help her. Where should I begin if I were to instruct her assuming she has hip problems, is a bit older AND overweight. Lastly, thank you sir for all you have done for the world of strength training. Many people live pain free and healthy lives because of your information and I hope you know how grateful we truly are. People may tell you often but still not enough, you are a great coach. Thank you
Thanks for this. I wasn't sure how to restart after a year layoff and actually just started last week. 1st squat workout I did ascending sets of 5 to 185lb. 2nd workout I went to 225lb. I was a little sore after each. Just did my 3rd workout and did 2 sets at 225lb. Was gonna make make next workout 225lb for 3 sets. The big question I was wondering was what size jumps from there? 5lb? 10lb? This video helped get me a better idea where to go from here. Thanks guys!
The point about doing even a little bit of lifting is completely true. I technically had a layoff of 1 month because of travelling, but I was able to go to commercial gyms and just do the best I could, and coming back my numbers are not much different, and I am able to run through my previous numbers a little bit faster
So this seems about right, I am 56. In March of 2020, they shut down the gym due to Covid. My best Deadlift 1 RM and 5 RM at the time were 380 lbs and 340 lbs for 5. I had to make a decision, I was in the middle of getting my house prepared to sell and staying busy on a new build. I did not want to build a home gym knowing that we were moving. So I bit the bullet and did n ot train for just about a year. We moved into our house and March 2021 I built my home gym and started my NLP all over again for the most part. Today it's March of 2022 and I am pretty much back to my #s before Covid lock down although I hit a new PR on Bench. Also, I had some fits and starts because of a very painful Piriformis nerve issue that made it so painful to squat and deadlift. I finally got that issued now to a slight soreness and now I am am near intermediate. So it took me a year to get back to where I was at.
I apologize in advanced if this was covered and I missed it. I'm Intermediate and compete in strongman. I typically take a week off before comp and after jumping right back in last time I think I should take another week because I was just kidding myself going back after comp and ended up wasting the week which I believe set me further back. I reminded thirty pounds on squat and dead, and twenty on bench and press. What would be a smarter approach than wasting that first week back?
It's theoretically possible, but it practically never turns out well because things come up. Let's say you get up to squatting 315x5x3 and then just want to do that twice a week forever. What happens is that you get sick, or take vacation, or have a stressful event, you'll detrain and get weaker. So all of these problems come up in life that make maintenance impractical. It also just sucks and is mentally impractical to do. -Andrew Lewis
I like you guys. You're very nice. You don't make me want to train. I can't stand Mark. He's not nice. He makes me want to train like a madman. I'm going to need you very polite snowflakes to shut up. I miss Mark. He is the will, the courage and the soul. It's very motivating. You guys are like a safe space with muscle.
@@xmoogoox I called you a safe space with muscles and you tell me that you like me in a very polite lie. Dogs walk up to you and pee on your leg don't they? You are very polite and corporate culture acceptable when they do. You let them finish the stream. Sad what WFAC has become. I weep. Mark's recent video on achieving a big press was excellent and very motivating. I sincerely want to press body weight so i can do my handstands and one arm round offs again. I find that given my particular challenges that a burning fire and shit talking keep me going. Mark stokes that fire. I don't know what you do? Motivate the monotone? #PinkMan #HatefulAlcohalicsGetShitDone
Gotta friend whose the strongest gal at the gym but unfortunately was rear ended a while back and had to get surgery on her neck. Of course the doctors want her to wait three months before coming back. More unfortunately she's hung up on RPE nonsense and training a lift once a week. I'm gonna try really hard to convince her to come back with 3 days a week A&B split with a bar and add 5lbs a workout. But sadly so many people today don't think such simple training can be effective.
I’m going through this right now; so this is a blessing to find uploaded this evening.
Thanks Starting Strength team!
thanks guys, now that I know how to do it, I'm gonna lay off
Perfect timing for me. Thanks guys.
Just had to lay off for two weeks due to Covid, so this is perfect timing.

You're gonna want to go on the forum to ask this kinda stuff
Is your mother able to sit down in a chair and stand back up?
@@Francesco-cj3oi she is, and thank you I will do that.
This intro is ON POINT!!!!! 🔥🤘💪

I did this like 5 times. Then got into a car accident for the 6th. This time I have a reason and I’m glad I found this podcast

Intro music?
Curious why maintaining isn’t an option after Lp?
You’re either strengthening, or regressing.
@@clownpocket I see so slow progress is the other option ill take it

Walked into my bedroom to find my girlfriend watching this video and she’s all sweaty for some reason??? Somebody please explain.
Samwise is right on with this one.
Needs more black metal
You're saying all of this "IN THEORY" because it's not accurate.
Andrew was not very articulate in this vid, isn't he supposed to be an Engineer?
