One of the reasons that our military are so respected is that they tend to be very well trained. Strength is part of that. So........ I really liked that remark.
John: *half a step in through the door* "Hey ma....." Mark: "Everything you've been taught is false" John: "But I ...." Mark: *claps away handshake attempt* "Stop talking. Starting with squats. I know about your back problem. But we'll get to that. Ok let's go." John: "BUT I ...!" Mark: "Nope, my show today." John: "Ok .... :/ .... btw ... :D" Mark: "No bad jokes. Do squats." John: "Okay ....!" ^^
I first found starting strength as an EMT realizing I couldn't lift people as well as I needed to and I was having back pain from it. I realized I needed to do deadlifts to get my back stronger. I realized that I would come into the gym with back pain and leave the gym without any. Over time I was able to get much stronger and I'm much more capable now as a police officer. Strength matters a lot in the real world. From when I started until now: Deadlift from 165 to 460(x3), squat from 125 to 405(3x4), overhead press from 65 to 187.5, bench press from 95 to 250 and still having the endurance to best my 500 meter row and other endurance tasks since the academy. *10/25/20 updated to current strength numbers.
Two of my favorite people in the same video together, outstanding. Being a retired Army Ranger I've got arthritis in my hips, knees, ankles and lower back. I had doctors tell me to stop lifting weights and especially don't squat. After getting myself into terrible shape I bought Mark's book, Starting Strength, I began following it. Several years later, I'm now 58, I'm still squatting, deadlifting, and the other big lifts, I'm stronger, my legs feel better and I look better on the beach. I now also own the companion book, The Barbell Prescription (Strength Training for Life After 40). Don't listen to your doctor, listen to Mark. Lift heavy, lift often, stay strong, remember, stronger people are harder to kill. RLTW
Best comment man. I would get fat on the couch eating potato chips and the "tactical" Mt. DEW wearing sweats and a stained ripped white t shirt watching every episode.
As a lifter for 20 years now I follow Rip for ages. The Warrior Poet Society I follow because I love Johns style of teaching as well as his humor. I coach Football (Gridiron, not Soccer) here in Germany and learned a lot about how to transfer knowledge by him. This video really really made my day, thank you so much! Two great teachers with very different styles, that is awesome
As a martial artist, his initial squat instruction on form makes total sense. We always drill it into our students that every single technique, everything we do comes from the hips.
tweaked my back doing squats today, and came home thinking "damn, I might need to re learn squats on youtube". Somehow I only had 4 recommended videos at the top of my page, and the only fitness related one happened to be this. Today's gonna be a good day for me.
I appreciate both of the hosts here, as you can tell they both truly care about helping people get "strong", and the value that strength has for a person's entire life. Definitely changed my perception on why it is important to lift weights.
A few years ago I went there to qualify a young lady powerlifter for nationals. Spent good time with Rip talking about the old days of lifting and mutual friends.
Can’t believe I missed this video until now! Love John’s channel and Mark’s books have been saving me from weakness for the last 2 years. Way to go John!
Im new to this channel. Right now i whitnessed a complete master schooling the apprentice in every kinda way. He's such a leading wolf, its absolutely impressing. Just be quiet and listen. This is priceless.
Seriously, I had no clue John had any interest in this part of the fitness world! Seeing this collaboration is like watching my college roommate meet my favorite cousin for the first time, I can't help but hope they get along!
This guy is awesome. I used to squat high bar and ended up with femoro patellar tendinitis and SI joint pain on left side ( forward hip tilt ). I tried to figure it out but still same. Today is my second work out with this kind of squat and I love it. I am 6 feet with long femurs also I don’t have the best morphology for squatting but with this Rippetoe squat I never felt my squat so good. The weight seems lighter mostly in the hole and the hip drive is crazy 😜. I would say it’s definitely a posterior chain exercice cause you don’t really feel your quads contracting. However your whole leg working actually. I was ready to drop the squat out but now it’s like a reborn with this. Thanks so much Mr RIPPETOE, you just saved my back and knees 🙏
absolute bullshit.efferding never used that technique to win at powerlifting.hes making money with rip.delve a little further than novice level training philosophy dipshit.
@@ronaldkennedy2401 he was very clear in jujis video that he never used this method and only now does it becaus of his knees... also what money would he make everytime i do a squat with the starting strength method i have to pay 50cents to mark???
Been eight years since I've been in the gym. Because of your videos staring RIP, I just got into Vasa today. I'm 48 and need to get into it again. Thank you for the motivation.
Tony Keep it up, strength training slows down the aging process. I’m in my mid 50’s and train regularly. BTW, check out videos on the 7 basic barbell movements for guys over 40-ish. 35 minutes 3x’s a week does it for me. Best of luck to you, God bless.
One of those movements that we all think we know how to do but after watching this video I realize I was definitely doing it wrong. Thanks for making this coaching session happen!!!
Thank you for introducing me to this guy! What an impressive command of the subject of weight training. More than the typical 3 sets of 10 reps nonsense, a real look at the kinematics of how to lift properly. Fantastic. I'm reading his book now, and I already see this will be a valuable addition to my training knowledge. I hope to hell you have plenty more from your time with Rip.
I love starting strength! Never felt better and I'm surprising myself every session with a new PB I wasn't sure I could do especially in the amount of time I'm getting it. RIP is the man!!
i just adopted a mastiff mutt from the local pound. I have him doing the novice phase and a GOMAD and he has put on 6 pounds in the last 3 weeks. RIp, you method works for all!
Wow, just realized i have been squatting the right way for 25 years, even though i thought i was wrong being leading with the hips. I thought you had to lead with the chest/shoulders but could never manage to do it. Thanks Rip.
Learned about Mark Rippetoe through Alan Thrall on RUclips. I have over 35 years of squatting, bench press and dead lifts. Mark Rippetoe's methods of lifting are the king and queen of proper lifting.
@11:00, it's like a magical lightbulb went off in my head. Thirty seconds of explanation of setting the back first, then trying it myself, immediately corrected something I've been doing backwards for years. Wow!
Private JR - Imagine bending backwards, like a limbo game, but without moving your shoulders/head. Create more curvature in your lower spine, but then hold it. Feels like you’re squeezing your lower back. Then set your abs. Back, then front. On the belly, it feels like you’re stretching it top to bottom first, and then setting it side to side. If you were doing it wrong before, and then do it right, you should feel ridiculously more stable in the lower torso. As with anything, if this still feels weird or unstable, professional coaching is recommended.
As a 34 yr.old husband and father of 3 boys, slowly getting back to work due to a herniated disc and severe arthritis in the spine from years of injuring and ignoring it, it would be awesome to hear about your craptastic back, John (only if you're willing to share, of course) and how you deal with it. It's a crappy feeling not being able to play fight with your sons, and even worse, protect them and your wife if ever needed. I am blessed and motivated but I think a video on injury, disability, powering through etc. would be helpful for the Dads outta the fight.
1. Flex your lower back. 2. Tighten abs. Hold breath, then 3: Use HIPS as prime mover. Best advice in the universe - of course Mark Rippetoe has been teaching it forever! So refreshing. Puts "personal trainer" wanabes to shame.
Before Mark Ripetoe book came out, everyone that did squats generally was taught to look straight ahead and slightly up, never down while doing squats.
@@tyler7992 It's good advice for anyone but the morbidly obese. It's easier to gain 20lbs (15 of it muscle) and then lose the fat than it is to lose 20lbs (10 of it muscle) and then gain it back.
I've actually been watching a lot of Mark's videos lately :). Discovered him back when Yeager did Starting Strength a few years ago. Yeager actually has some funny videos of when they were all in a classroom talking about different things
Thank you for this video John. RIP gave you a lot of information that I haven't learned from his other videos. I look forward to more content from you and RIP.
Lol, I loved the caption "This is when John lost control of this video" 😂 Seriously great content! And the production value of your videos has gotten amazing! Thank you for taking us along with you!
1:37 - Watch at 0.25x, see Rip's eye contact & posture, watch John back up so much camera man has to pan. It was at that very moment, John lost control of the video ;)
@@tylerb325 As Rip says, if you don't have the mobility, you will stretch out and acclimate by practicing the movement. I assume that's in most cases. There are always exceptions. Just do your best to assume the proper positioning he is describing and you will be better off for it. You are less likely to hurt yourself if you do it the right way. If you want to do it in a way he doesn't proscribe, then you do so at your own risk.

it's true. no more sarcopenia ✌️
“That’s funny, John. It’s extremely funny.”
Guys, I don’t think he was being completely honest.
Rip can be as dry as the Death Valley desert. He got the joke, but he was making an important point. Check Rip's Podcasts, he's hilarious.

Mrgunsngear Channel review the blue book.
Are you going to do a mark rip collaboration as well?
Followed him for 20 years and Rip still hasn't gotten a restraining order on you? That's one tough man

Rip is the man! Great job warrior poet
At exactly 11 minutes I just heard the Best motivational advice for exercise in my life. (I will never die in a nursing home.)
Rip's the man. My guy. The instruction he gives is the best. Most men don't do hip work. They feel it's just for the ladies. Hips don't lie. Carry on.
"You're out; but you're not out."
God damn that's deep.
Plus SOF guys are never really out anyway. SOF is for life.
Got all Miyagi on him.

Recently discovered this Rip dude and I love him! Straightforward, no fuckin around, legit info
Unmatched coaching. I hope this material keeps circulating
I started his program in July and my squat, deadlift and bench have all increased by about 50 lb. so far.
Wow, just realized i have been squatting the right way for 25 years, even though i thought i was wrong being leading with the hips. I thought you had to lead with the chest/shoulders but could never manage to do it. Thanks Rip.
Great crossover. Been following Mark Rippetoe way longer than WPS.
2:24 one of the reasons I love Rip so much hahaha. No small talk right to it lifting. What a badass coach
It seems I knew squat about squats.
So did John. Now he does.

Me too!! I ran in and did a set of squats right after. What a difference!!!
Can y’all explain what you did? Seemed like he just said to contract your lower back first then your abs right?

What an incredible opportunity it was to be able to watch this video!
My life changed today... great tips, wish I had a coach like this in my 20s or 30s
I agree with rips philosophical perspective, but I choose to do high bar squats because I like the way it makes me feel.
Same, squats are about legs, low bar is for artificially lifting more weight for competition purposes imo
I prefer high bar also, and nowadays mostly do ATG front squats
War Poet have you been looking at my subs list? I’ve been following uncle Rip for years! Glad you found him.
As a 34 yr.old husband and father of 3 boys, slowly getting back to work due to a herniated disc and severe arthritis in the spine from years of injuring and ignoring it, it would be awesome to hear about your craptastic back, John (only if you're willing to share, of course) and how you deal with it. It's a crappy feeling not being able to play fight with your sons, and even worse, protect them and your wife if ever needed.

How do you flex low back? Kind of like arching it a little? He doesn’t really explain it in the video.
YES!!! Collab of the century!!!
This is a true lesson in asserting control, over the video, the training and the mindset.
"I know you're out, but you're NOT out." NICE!!! Good reminder that when we train, we're training for having a useful LIFE.
Before Mark Ripetoe book came out, everyone that did squats generally was taught to look straight ahead and slightly up, never down while doing squats.
John's a comedian lol..
Ole Grumpy is coming back, I wasn't saying anything. Almost spit out my coffe
Warrior Comedian
Okay! 3 minutes in and I want MORE of this guy! Holy shit! Talk about passion. I love this video
Great video! John's personality contrasted with Rip's crusty self is hilarious!
I was born in Wichita and have family there. Nothing like getting things right, especially for the back protection.
Improving yourself and sharing the wealth. Thanks for who you are, John. Comedian and all.
My two worlds have collided! Great video... Poet and Uncle Rippy!!
“It’s not supposed to be comfortable” “It’s NOOOT comfortable” lol
Worked out at his gym in college. Rip is a character.
"If that takes another 20lb in body weight, then gain it" - what every actress in Hollywood should be told before they do an action movie.
Ailieorz good advice for lifters who aren’t fat already.
@@tyler7992 It's good advice for anyone but the morbidly obese.
It's easier to gain 20lbs (15 of it muscle) and then lose the fat than it is to lose 20lbs (10 of it muscle) and then gain it back.
dafunkmonster yeah if you’re 30% body fat you have no business gaining another 20 lbs. unless you bulk super slow 15 will not be muscle
Boy I've been a student of Rips teachings for a while now. This is just the tip of a very tall mountain.
This technique is really helping me save my lower back from the way I was doing it before
Brother, I love listening to Rip!! Thank you for posting warrior!
This is one of the best, if not, the best Squat instruction in youtube. and not from the fitness youtube community, but in the youtube gun community!
John was an even better student than Brett McKay! This was fun to watch. I'm a huge proponent of SS; it freakin' works.
Just got the book a few days ago. It is a masterpiece of insight and wisdom when it comes to weight lifting. I can't recommend it enough.
Wow. Mark is a master of teaching this.
It's the best squatting video on the internet
Thanks for bringing this information brother
Still the best video on the internet for squat form and performance. Bar none.
I've actually been watching a lot of Mark's videos lately :). Discovered him back when Yeager did Starting Strength a few years ago. Yeager actually has some funny videos of when they were all in a classroom talking about different things
Two of my favorite people in one video!! Yes!!

Rip knows how to teach and explain the squat. Need more teachers like him.
Love the whole video, especially the first three seconds - the expressions on Mark's face!
WHY, can I not like this video more than once, it deserves it?!
1:37 - Watch at 0.25x, see Rip's eye contact & posture, watch John back up so much camera man has to pan. It was at that very moment, John lost control of the video ;)
So many tips! I thought I knew how to squat.....wrong. Great video
You’re obviously a comedian: cracks no smile😂😂😂
"Fail Forward" I love it.
Lumbar contraction, THEN abs.
This actually helped my squats.
Yes, I used to jump out of airplanes and carry an RTO ruck. :-p
Your squat got a lot better. Remember to keep your wrist straight. I dig the gym video. Keep up the hard work!
is it the end of the world if the wrist's not straight? I just dont have the shoulder mobility and see a lot of powerlifters not doing it as well
@@tylerb325 As Rip says, if you don't have the mobility, you will stretch out and acclimate by practicing the movement. I assume that's in most cases. There are always exceptions.
