    Starting Strength changed my life. It gave me a fundamental understanding of training and I stopped spinning my wheels with exercise. It has also, just has importantly, helped me weed out bad advice. Best wishes and happy new year.

    Starting strength is the most effective form of strength training I have ever done. Thanks Rip!

    I saw Mark Rippetoe at a grocery store in Houston yesterday. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything.
    He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?”
    I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen gallons of milk in his hands without paying.
    The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to pay for those first.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter.
    When she took one of the cartons and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any electrical infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she scanned each carton and put them in bags and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.

    I love it when people do the “alibi” gym workout. Get out the car with it still running, walk into the gym then get back in the car haulin ass. “No honey, I was at the gym so that couldn’t have been me walking into Marble Slab.”

    @johnmillstead8396 6 лет назад

    Not sure if you have done this before or not? Since this is SS and I (and probably many more) am just starting, how about a video on what to expect when you go into the gym, how to approach the equipment, how to determine j-hook height for squats and press, etc -- maybe a walk thru on a 1st day work out? Thanks!

      Head over to barbell logic they've got a pretty good layout of what you've stated. Look for #13 - Getting Started: Part 1, Equipment Needed to get Strong AF!
      #15 How to Kill it on Your First Session
      #25 - The TRUTH about Avoiding Common Novice Pitfalls
      Episodes #1-5 give you the whys also, if you're interested

    Regarding "stronger people live longer than weaker people," is there some data on that? Literally speaking, I don't think that's true. Strength is correlated with body mass in most human beings. Body mass is correlated with increased morbidity over 50, no matter the composition of the mass.. on a very literal take, it wouldn't be far-fetched to draw a conclusion of an inverse relationship between strength and lifespan after a certain point of strength.
    More accurate would be: "strength relative to your given body weight increases lifespan." We know that's probably what he means. But strictly speaking, overweight novices who are just tuning in to STARTING Strength may not make that distinction.

      Scott Rogers the people who live longer are thoose with a little overweight. And because muscle mass start to decline after 40-50. You need to make the most for be normal when you are in your 70s and not a skinny old man who cant cross the street in less that a minute

    • @ramaswamynarayanan2930

      Well you can consider strong dudes like Norbert Schemansky who died at 92, Yuri Vlasov who is 82 today, Bruno Sammartino who is 85 today, Ernie Frantz who is 85 today, Terry Todd who is 82 today, Fred Hatfield who died last year at 74 but not before beating cancer big time.
      So generally speaking if you are strong and steer clear of all chemicals including protein powders available, what do you think is going to stop you from leading a healthy life.

      daniel muñoz I don't remember the specifics, but there was a study done in nursing homes, and the only solid predictor of life expectancy in the residents was strength. Cardio fitness, weight, etc, didn't seem to matter. And it is definitely true that being overweight is better than being underweight for health.
      I don't think the composition of weight is often noted in studies, many still just collect BMI results.

    • @scottrogers1493
      @scottrogers1493 6 лет назад

      Some of you trying to argue me. I said "strength relative to body weight lives longer." That's not really a controversial idea. Meanwhile, somebody who can deadlift 700, squat 600, bench 400 is probably (not definitely) a large body. Large bodies do not last into the 90s+, no matter the anecdotes. That's not really controversial. There's not really controversy here.
      As to "studies show overweight people live longer than slim people" you're expanding from what the research actually says. The big 2016 study you're referring to showed that the healthiest BMI was 27, up several points than previously recommended. What it did NOT say: continue getting larger beyond that and your morbidity continues to drop and that is preferable to being slim.. Nope. BMI of 27 is where it peaks and then comes back down. You are concluding something that research does not support.
