As 9 times Canada's strongest man says, abs are not a sign of power. They're a sign of you not eat enough.
JF is awesome hope he continues to have success like 2020.
Beartaria!

People can trash talk Rip all they want. My recent 430 lb. bench press at 49 years old proves that his program works. I may not have visible abs, or a great vertical jump, but thanks to Rip and a lot of hard work, I'm the strongest S.O.B. in my entire town.
I agree!!... At 55 I squat 455 for 5x3-4 reps!! The strongest guy in the gym, all the thirty and twenty year olds are being trained by the gym asshole "trainer" who keeps telling them I am on steroids or drugs and keeps selling them creatine and protein, with "personalized" programs for each along with some extra cash for himself. They just cannot believe I can do that by simply following a program as simple as what Rip here recommends. The "trainer" has them all over the gym doing silly shit and working on the floor on abs etc, he even told me once as I got to the gym "let me guess, you're gonna squat again, don't you ever change that shit!!" I smiled and ignored him and walked to the rack again. It's not as if I never gave him the links to this channel, but from what I see, he never took the time to visit here and learn some shit. Hell, he was telling me at some point to get on the leg press to focus on my quads!!
I also bench 275 and deadlift 495 and press 135... and still they think they are right and that I am wrong!!
Good luck.
@Jon Sander You got to a 430 bench on the Texas Method??
Nice job! Gym “trainers” want to sell these kids “new and shiny and different” , just like the late night infomercials advertising some new silly “ab rocket” or “power slider” bullshit. This is why the weight loss and fitness industry is a gazillion dollar a year business; because people want a shortcut or some magic pill to make themselves look like the model on the cover of the magazine instead of doing something that is hard and requires effort.
Thanks for proving the the dogma point lol
How’s your bench doing now a hear later? That’s awesome, congratulations!
"Balls are teachable" - Rip, 2021
I'm gonna teach my balls Diff Eq
Gives hope to us all
The last time I was this early, Rip was still a C cup.
I've been obsessed with calisthenics for a while, and and well balanced nutrition. After watching this I only wanna Squat, Deadlift, Bench and Press, eat Steak and Eggs and sleep in a American Flag while Holding My Bible and Voting Republican.
Don't know why people rip on Rip. The guy spent majority of his life creating and teaching SS methods. He's a salesman now. If you went to a Ford dealer the person wouldn't say go across the street to Honda. Rip is trying to make a living selling a simple straightforward program that will benefit a majority of the ppl on this planet if they follow it or follow the general idea behind it (training primarily the barbell with a purpose and plan)
Rip wouldn't be the Ford dealer, he would be the concept design lead engineer or something like that; someone in charge who can change the car if need be.
@@MrPtrlix Either way, he would be one grumpy ass funny man.
I just spent an hour listening to an old fat guy telling me to get strong & fat.
Worth every second. Imma go drink my gallon of milk now.
Old STRONG fat guy!
I work in a social work setting with those who have a Developmental Disability; often, this is accompanied by frailty and weakness. I am working hard to change those we serve in this capacity. This Statement is 100% true. It is undeniably true. This very well may be the best podcast to date.
Awesome! No BS. I can relate to Rip's comments about his dad. My dad was a naturally strong dude. Even played rugby for a while. Now he's old and walking with two canes. F.... heartbreaking. He ruined his knees and back working in construction. That's why I train, to stay as strong as possible as I get older. Strength and health matter big time. Not the abs.
Well said
This may very well be the one of the most important podcast that the Starting Strength crew has put out
The process of getting strong changes everthing in your life. A constant application of doing very hard shit, month after month, Makes you resistant to the bullshit in life. Thanks Rip and Nick for showing me how to change my life.
Good comment
Rip is in RARE form in this show. Enjoy 💯💯🔥🔥
"Balls are teachable " says the new voice of the Transgender movement, never realized Ripp was such an ally.
Rip’s tombstone epitaph ...

Starting Strength Podcast> Joe Rogan Experience
The podcasts are always good, but the comments from the haters are great. The comments themselves are trash but Rip always manages to make them hilarious.
Nice shirt Obergruppenführer Rippetoe. Lol keep up the great work guys!
My evolution to the idea was similar to Nick's. The first time I heard Rip posit that strength is the most import of the athletic attributes (I believe that is the context I first heard it), I immediately thought, "well, yeah, to powerlifters, but not all athletes." It took the better part of a year for me to realize that he was right.
It hit me when I was arguing with a friend that Evander Kane (NHL) would be a more effective nuisance-player if he gained 20 lbs (not just any 20lbs but the 20lbs from a strength program, added to an already athletic body). My friend (who is 6'1 175) was arguing that the "extra" weight would cause Kane's speed and endurance to suffer. While I was shooting down all of my friend's arguments and explaining how, done properly, Kane's speed and endurance would most likely improve, it hit me: when we train for strength, we also get endurance, stamina, speed but, when we train only for the other things, we never really get strong. Fortunately, I was so drawn to the simplicity and tidiness of the Starting Strength program, I stuck around long enough for that to sink in. (I have to admit that I was also fascinated by this knowledgeable, irascible, Yosemite-Sam-Lobster-man and his no-nonsense bluntness. I felt like I could trust Rip even when I disagreed with him and that shit goes a looonng way with me.)
After decades of heavy dumbbell and kettlebell-focused work, I did an NLP in my late 40's and my lifts improved every workout for about 12 weeks (my shoulders are pretty shot so I was really only focused on the squat and DL, but still). I'm sold.
I learned this firsthand actually. I was a swimmer in high school and had good times in all my events, I was on the state team multiple times, etc etc. I was always told that lifting weights would make my body mass bigger and therefore harder to pull through the water, so I avoided ever trying it out. I went to college, quit swimming and decided to start weight training for purely vanity/body related goals. I hopped back in the pool after a couple years off of swimming and began easily beating my old personal bests. Made me feel like kind of a fucking idiot for not trying it sooner
It’s Doctrine not Dogma. Doctrine changes as new shit comes to light, it adapts as required. Dogma remains rigid and will not change because we’ve always done it that way!
This. And also just because some things don’t change doesn’t make them wrong, either. For example, the concept of “5 lbs a work out” aka “gradual increase in difficulty” is essentially a universal truth. Anyone who argues it isn’t has never learned a skill in their entire life.
I could sit and have coffee with Rip and listen to him talk all day.
Better get the right cup, though! Lol
Sameeee
I cant believe people get intimidated by Rip. I mean the guy used to have frosted tips...don't let the Lance Bass of weight lifting intimidate you.
Excellent comment
If you were there in the 80's you would have had them too.
Hey Rip,I am doing triceps kickbacks with 5 pounds.Do you think this is enough?
Do more reps
You need to gain weight 30lbs..........in ball weight. Keep lifting
I could listen to Rip talk every night. His soothing voice is like a warm blanket while trying to fall asleep
Exactly. He could be succesful in anything with that voice and storytelling talent.
He should start an ASMR channel
I listen to him to help me sleep and relax! Haha informative and great speaker
Me too and I’m French. Love that Texan accent
@@zwip778 he should make a ASMR called Soothing Strength for sleep
Nick: the disembodied voice from beyond the camera.
That phrase, Disembodied Self or Body is from Felix Gualtari and Deluze's book "A body without organs". Very hard and interesting book:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Body_without_organs
I mean if you care to give it a try.
¿Por qué los pezones de Mark están duros? ¿Es él alguna clase de pervertido?
Rip thank you for articulating why strength is so important to me. I have failed miserably at getting my family on board. Family is ridden with anxiety, depression, and other health issues. I've tried desperately to explain the benefits of strength, but I am looked at as a strange juicehead and disregarded. Thanks for fighting for strength brother.
amen to that, just keep living what you preach bro
I never realized how hard it would be as an adult, to let go of trying to change those around me and just focus on me.
@@BladePressurefunny isn’t it, you start out thinking you are going to change the world and then you realize you can only change yourself and that’s only through hard work, dedication, and consistency!
The last rep of the last bench press set is always a challenge. Previously, if I was unsure if I could do it, I'd rack it at 4, wait a minute and do the 5th. Now I bought safeties for my squat stand, so I can always try it with no risk of accidentally killing myself.
Soon enough you may even want to switch to a 5x3 or something setup
If you haven't already, buy Practical Programming.
When I'm doing fives, I always tell myself if it went up four times, surely I can complete this last one!! And then lower my ass down!!
"We are Engineering Strength" .... fucking Rip has all the fucking words man!! And he can back them up with facts!!
Love that phrase, "Engineering Strength", why didn't I think of it?? well, I'm NOT Rip.
For those of you who don’t like the comments part, it ends at 10:30.
This podcast and program is underrated.
I'm squatting 325# for five. That's about all you need to out lift 95% of the twenty-somethings at my gym.
I'm 51 BTW. Lifting for 18 months.
Even less than that tbh, given how 99% of gym goers start to quarter squat at around 200 lbs.
I'm 32 now squatting sets of 5 with 180kg. My goal is to be able to be able to keep squatting at least 315 lbs in my 50s.
You guys are great, love the philosophy. I tell all my clients, When shit goes down, your light weight and high reps won't save you.
If you get exhausted in a fight in 10 seconds, you're far from saved
@@tomx4836 That has nothing to do with light weights.
You can never be TOO strong.
I think the most important thing that you can learn from the process of becoming stronger, is that you can't get better whithout pushing yourself regularly and consistently through strenuous, very uncomfortable situations. This apllies not only to weight training but for any goal in life one want's to accomplish.
Didn’t realise Rip supports the Nazi’s or Schutzstaffel (SS tee shirt) 😀. My initials say the same thing 🙁
notice he's also wearing a black shirt, obviously to pay tribute to italian fascist Black Shirts
Really? He explicitly mentioned his membership of the Schutzstaffel in a previous video. Obviously you're not a true fan. For shame ;'(
rip is boomerwaffen certified
@@seanseanston - I find Rip entertaining with his extreme opinions and bigoted rhetoric. So I guess am am a fan, however, he is not always completely correct and other explanation and opinions should be acknowledged.
As a member of the SS (Schnitzelstaffel) I find this offensive
I can't understand people that go to the gym without a plan and then putz around. If you really want to make progress, you need to get serious.
Oh, we care about abs 😁 this guy, 😂....
Despite getting ripped on by all the people on the forum for asking my stupid question about gaining weight, I can't thank you enough for all the amazing content you put out. I recently discovered Starting Strength and I really enjoy its simplicity and application. Thanks again!
What was your question? I’m sure the forum people are just a bunch of internet jackasses who would never speak to you that way face to face 🙄
Through me off when he said 'this weeks'.
Ive been saying 'comments from the Haterz' en sync with Rip now for months
It's "commentszeh from the haterszzeh"...🤣🤣🤣
I keep saying it out loud with echo and zzzz all through the day while doing chores
So did I. "commentszzz from the haterszzzz"
51:19 Dear Rip, I'm ugly and fat. Please advise.
Don’t be those things.
Rip asking people if he is racist wearing a ss shirt.
Please do not do an hour and a half of comments from the haters. I can barely breathe with just ten minutes 😂😂😂 being english, “fat bellend” had me in tears.
BELLEND hahahahahaha. 🇬🇧
Such an epic Friaddie, isn’t it? When Rip talked about how he engineered the StartingStrength program, I immediately thought about that Rip recommended the book Engineer To Win in a video and he gave one copy to Chase, which I don’t think Chase had read it according to Rip’s expression. I think Rip was inspired by that book and practiced that idea in his career. What a wide reading man.
Weaklings hate Rip. Strong guys (like me) appreciate him.
Great message. Started training at 17 in 1988 and was lucky enough to learn something like SS method (even though it was periodization) from Jan and Terry Todd at the University of Texas, which took me from 135 lbs to 200 lbs. Now at 49, I can say this was the most important thing I learned in college hands down. Going through that process absolutely carried over to passing professional certifications, learning foreign languages, having the guts to move overseas, etc. If the idea that physical strength is the most important thing in life offends you (as it did to me, as a stereotypical 80s nerd), I’m asking you to reconsider and give this a try.
Fuckarounditis is rampant in most gyms and in these comment sections.
There is a reason why Ripp only coaches beginners. And when they gain a little more knowledge and experience .......................they leave him. And it's not just because he's an asshole.
I can attest that strength training and doing something hard every day of my life for the past 2.5 years has made me mentally stronger. I see this every time I go to out in public with no mask on for the past 7 months in a city that has has a mask mandate in place since last August (Calgary, AB).
It has made you stupid, not mentally stronger.
Mark you are the dan Pena of the strength training industry ... Facts lol you're giving us the quantum Leap advantage to strength training.
Actually psychical strenght is NOT the most important thing in life, it's intelligence coupled with physical strenght. Strenght can increase with training, but to build a cult around yourself and be far more protected and served than only by your own physical strenght, and by followers who do strength train, that's INTELIGENCE.
A friend squatted 600 for his 60th birthday. I guess he should have walked and done pushups instead
Women are just like men in that they have differing desires. A large number of women do care about abs and many women that dont care about abs would still enjoy them more than a gut... Some women truley dont care and even fewer women dont like abs.
That opening statement is not based in reality...
I liked the last 5 minutes of the video. Very inspiring Rip, don't listen to the haters.
Rip has built an entire culture, wrote a book, and produces content just to justify being fat
I too, lack the physical strength to get off the pot after 3 hours.
With all the extra protein, I was adding 5 minutes per workout no problem, but rapidly hit a plateau at 1 hour.
Every day is leg day, but they just keep falling asleep. Does that make me an Intermediate shitter?
Rip talks about ugly men like he doesn't fall squarely in that column.....
Once you are over the age of 60, you don’t care if you are ugly or fat, especially if you have Rip’s money
*Frydi*
Abs are such a 20-something pursuit. When you are an actual man, you realize women are attracted to wide shoulders,thick neck ,big quads, strong hands..Because those attributes mean you work your ass off and can protect and provide for them. Abs guarantee you're narcissistic and will do none of those things when the rubber meets the road.
COMINGS FROM THE HEATERS… OMG, I love these.
Mikel Mexico - Nicaragua…. Racist! No internet in Nicaragua. Lolol
Mr. Jungle… Communists. Too funny.
Poor Mikel…. Dogmatic views of weight training!!! Dogma. Too funny. Moving hands like lobster…. Laughing my ass off.
As for your post #96, you are so right. I am a 58 YO male who has started weights one year ago. Yep, but military background. I have always been involved in intense sport, hockey, bicycle, and other. For two months ago, my wife, who is an outstanding fan and believer of Starting Strength, sat me down one day and put the 4 books to my face. The question that was asked is how was she performing? Was I seeing results? BUT OF COURSE, my love. There you go, old fart, adopt Starting Strength program you will see a difference, faster and better then what you are doing now.
Change the physical existence. I really love the way you explained it. And it is true, most people do not have the balls to do that. Too much work, to much achievement, and for some of them, it is not sexy to had wight and not being able to finish the five’s! And like you said, balls are teachable. I guess Starting Strength make it sexier! Right? But of course.
We do not care about your abs, and I am with you! 😊 You are so correct about women do not care about abbs. I said women, not girls. This makes a difference. But being stronger, better physique, well, it is another story. I guess the poor Mike in the heaters has another perception! I am sure he is not training anyone, and he has not written books about training, but most importantly, he does not come in from the camera and defend his best way of training. Just saying.
Oh, by the way, my muscle mass definitely improved. See you next video.
I don't give a shit about anything else in this video, but that diet orange soda protein shake was pretty good. Even better with diet root beer. Not my opinion - stone cold fact.
Makes my Friday mornings bearable in the Democratic Peoples Republic formally known as The United Kingdom. If gyms ever get re opened by Chairman Jon Son i will try out your dogma just to prove you wrong.
Why the motherfeck are gyms still closed ( with no prospect of reopening either in the near future) when cases of the covid virus are falling through the floor AND there isn't even any evidence the lurgee spread in gyms either !!!!! Fuffing morons
I stopped ab work years ago simply because it was taking away from my limited workout time. I found that squats and deadlifts give my abs enough of a workout.
This one of the best, most profound podcasts I’ve ever heard!
I have tried Mark's system. I have gone to one of his gyms, and it actually works.
I don't know if I understand this Zen Rip... too calm and meditative thought this episode.
Zen-Ripo!! I hope he shows up like this more often.
Zen and meditative stuff like that is good for you! Changes the brain
I’ve always said, the best athletes in the world don’t compete by comparing the size of their biceps,
They compete by comparing the size of their balls.
Degree of difficulty for the win.
18:28 other people sense DHT, that's why they have more respect.
No we do not need comments from the haters for a whole episode. I had to recheck the date on the upload, because I was certain they've talked about abs in 15 other videos.
Again 1 hour video or rip trying to justify why he eats fast food every day 😂
When I hear the name Delgadillo, I think of Leukadildo, which is Finnish for chindildo. That's funny to me!
This is exactly the episode I needed to hear now! Fired up and ready to get after it!
🤣🤣🤣🤣 Love it! He probably deadlifts with a hex bar!🤣🤣🤣👍👍👍 Great info as always.
I have heard numerous sermons from various preachers that are less meaningful for life and well being. Thanks Rip, life is brutal and cruel. It's easier to deal if you're strong.
I didn't do my 5th rep on my deadlifts this morning as I thought I was going to hurt my back. I wish I would have watched this first.... I know I had it, I just didn't have the balls.
The day rip learned about the word bellend, thus improving his life that little bit
Rip and Nick D make a great duo... Like Laurel and Hardy.. minus the Laurel.
Hardy and Hardy
Dogma is WAY too difficult, I’d rather crush myself with barbells
Love this man. He's like my grand-dad.
"Balls are teachable" could be one of the greatest inspirational quotes ever documented 🤣
where are you guys based so I can come get trained in person
The most important thing in life is erectile function.
🇺🇸🥛💪
I'm going to challenge Mark.
The first few minutes made me laugh harder than I have in a long time.
“BLEEEP” (Rippetoe, 2021).
I want that shirt.
You will never be a varsity athlete
I always turn in Atleast for comments from the haters. Love hearing the pink man get spit roasted
“Spit roasted”??? I think that Rip spit roasts the haters
Is not sexy, but it works.
Rip, i actually dislike the 'comments from the haters' section. It is the part of your videos/podcasts that I f.f. I enjoy the discussions where you just talk about training, modalities, weight equipment etc. I dont care for any guests on your shows... Just talk. It is pertinent info you pass on and we appreciate it. Thanks Sir.
You sound like one of those people that says they only eat for "fuel" and never for enjoyment.
@@shaunre8363 I work with some guys who've starting saying "fuelings" when referring to snacking. One of them got it from some weird pyramid scheme-type/cultish new diet regime. Silly, weird, and annoying.
Rip, thank you sir!!! I love Starting Strength. Keep up the good work.
1st 30 minutes so profound. Followed by expansion and reinforcement - awesome.
Thanks Rip!
I want one of those ϟϟ t-shirts!!
51:56 god daymn alert please
I still don't get it--does or doesn't Rip care about our abs??
He doesn't care.
Great podcast! Keep it up!
Where can I get that mug?
