Another excellent podcast. Thank you SS and Grant for being on the show
Most probably one of the best podcast.
Would love to see the Stan efferding interview happen!
thatd be good. Chase aswell.
Chase Lindley and his future goals could be a topic.
Starting Strength staff tout this podcast platform as "the most important podcast on the internet". Ipso facto, this is the most important episode.
Great interview. Big respect to the marine and all who serve! Great idea getting him on, some really interesting discussion. 👍
When I got out of the Army I swore I would never run another day in my life.
No need to run, walking is enough. And not being fat, is even better than just walking.
Judging by your profile picture I believe you
USMC captain is a damn respectable rank
"A big fat pie wagon mother fucker cannot do 12 chin ups and a 400 meter in 75 seconds." - The Rip blessed us with another classic!
Mark! This was another great video sir.
Citadel grad. Delta Frat. Keep up the great work Grant!
In regards to Rip's comment on machinery replacing the requirement for Marines to have to hike/move long distances, he may not be aware of the Marine Corps's philosophy of combat training. In spite of having technology every individual Marine, especially those in combat MOS's needs to be able to move themselves and their gear over distances in the case the machinery is either down or destroyed.If you lose the ability/endurance to hike and end up in a situation where mechanical transpiration isn't an option then you're screwed. A similar example is land navigation, although Marines utilize GPS and other navigation technologies they still need to remain competent in terrain orientation with a map and compass because the technology can always fail.
I think he does understand. If Marine A does a short NLP and gets his deadlift from 145 to 315 but only gains 5 lb and otherwise keeps his fitness at a high level, how would he be any less capable of what you just described than Marine B who did traditional training?
@@freneticfanatic I see your point, but I have yet to hear Rip suggest that military members continue their necessary military training (hikes, extended range movements, ect.) while running LP. Also, he has never acknowledged the fact that military members need to maintain their ability to hike, instead he has argued that they should solely rely on mechanical means of transportation for extended movements. This is not to say military members shouldn't strength train, but that Rip may want to refer to subject matter experts on military culture and training before completely calling for the removal of forced hikes.
@@jordanponath109 I actually think the SS method for NLP runs closer to your own fitness goals than you may give credit.
Mark doesn't mention hikes, but I've heard him talk ad nauseum about soldiers not having to run from fob to objective. Imo, my current squat at 330 for 3 sets of 5 would be much more beneficial to me to ruck up a rugged steep hillside than when my vo2 was close to max.
I've also experienced, as a law enforcement officer, just how valuable strength is when needed to overcome and subdue someone resisting arrest after a foot pursuit. The only thing as valuable, in my opinion, is skill in grappling i.e. wrestling and BJJ.
@@freneticfanatic I'm not arguing that strength shouldn't be a priority for military members, but its not the only priority. Military members need to have a higher level of endurance and conditioning than barbell training or pushing a prowler can provide. I can speak from personal experience having to move from present position to target objective several hundred meters away in full kit. While being strong played a part in being able to arrive on target ready to work, my level of conditioning; trained by running, hiking and training in full kit, played a equal if not more important role. I understand this is an anecdotal situation but its shared among the military community, not just the 50 year old battalion commanders who think running is the key to combat conditioning.
Point is being strong is important, very important and all military members should barbell train. BUT they should also maintain a high level of endurance and conditioning to be able to move over distance with weight.
@@jordanponath109 Train how you fight, sir. Glad your preparedness allowed you win and to make it home.
Thanks for your service grant
Can I suggest mixing down the music from the intro on the edit? Rip's voice is drowned in bass and drums.
Please open a Starting Strength gym in Evansville Indiana.
Greetings from Columbia, SC!
Rip. I know you probably get this request alot but, I was wondering if you could do an analysis on Clarence Kennedy and his form. He is a strong friggin guy and he pulls in a slightly off center fashion( away from mid foot)
More curiosity than anything, when Rip says "I think they should deadlift 405" are we talking 1RM or 405x5?
Eric Klimas 1RM
10x20.
Michael Fassbender was awesome in this movie.
anybody catch the name of the book mentioned at the beginning
What intermediate program is most efficient for a marine to follow?
Say it was a good idea, wanna know why we don't have a nuclear tank? Watch Pentagon Wars (starring Kelsey Grammer).
had to do the 115 barbell press to get in the airforce back in the mid 90's.
that was funny though; 17:32
Just made my whole day ;)
What in the USAF requires that?
@@jerrycunningham1820 it used to be the minimum standard for enlistment.
all the airforce recruits at the meps in pittsburgh, PA were required to perform i think 3 reps.
i was going in as a P.M.E.L.
Precision Measurement and Equipment Logistics.
all the meps stuff happened fall 94' - spring 95'.
@@ProthoPectore PMEL also. No requirement in 1984 when I went in. Do yourself a favor and find a better career path.
@@jerrycunningham1820 i remembered last night, i had to get a waiver for my wrist. i'd broke my left wrist in 1991. have a titanium screw in it still to today. maybe they had me do the overhead press to prove to them that my repaired wrist was good to go. and i remember it was more than me who did the overhead press too. maybe they were getting in on a waiver too?
the AF wasn't a long term thing for me.
it was supposed to be, but life has a funny way of rearranging itself to how it wants.
i went to the AF to get me n' my highschool girl out our tiny town, that's it.
my TI in basic wanted to mold me into his idea of a killer.
recruiter never told me i was going to learn how to be a killer.
s.s. wilde: "you're here to learn how to be a killer ####".
me: "sir no sir".
they never got me to say yes either.
in hindsight i shoulda learned to weld right out of highschool.
welding or HVAC or even plumbing.
i shoulda learned a trade instead of signing up for the AF.
so it goes.
As a 61 year old retired Master Gunnery Sergeant I could pass Rip's recommended test. The problem is most of the youngin's entering the military nowadays can play the shit out of a video game, but they can't drag their ass off the sofa unless it's the pizza guy at the door.
"Naked" means you don't have any clothes on.
"Nekkid" means you don't have any clothes on, and you're up to something.
RIP. Is there a "Strength Training Gym" in San Francisco ??.. Influenced by your Philosophy.
There's one in San Diego and LA.
@@oliverallen5324 Thank You
Surprise, surprise... An artillery man who doesn't think running is important for the military...
It isn't. As an FO, I've been hoofing it with infantry for years. I've walked long distances in kit, with a heavy bag on my back. Ive done some sprints when bounding. I've never ran a mile+, except for pt. The only good thing about running is it trains cardiovascular endurance, but the problem is there are far superior was to do that. Ways that aren't clinically proven to lead to joint decay.
Matt Winning actual has done strength training on a large scale with Ranger Battalion and other units.
If broggi hasnt added anything to hos squat in 2 years. He is in fact wasting his gym time
Israel has had women in combat roles for years and that is a country that has been frequently in combat since it was created.
How does mark NOT understand the need for a light combat soldier? Does he not understand logistics and cost?
Heavier people need more food
Heavier people need more equipment
Heavier people need more power to move
Heavier people (generally) have less endurance
I'm with him on the strength part but I don't get making soldiers over 210 lbs. The cons outweigh the pros
You should absolutely make them 210 pounds. Because even under the best conditions, a combat deployment will mean that they do NOT remain at 210 pounds for long. I deployed at 195, and within four weeks was at 165 because of a stomach infection that almost had me sent home before I could even forward deploy from the FOB.
And no... the cons do not outweigh the pros. You're making an argument about things which are highly quantifiable without any data pointing to said decision. Logistics can more than equate for said increases, and everyone knows the log guys go with SWAGs with plenty of overhead in more than 95% of cases. If we can afford the F-35 we can MORE than afford the extra tonnage to train, feed and care for stronger, heavier soldiers and Marines.
@@davidrowe5437 >needing more food, fuel, and cargo space for bigger people is quantifiable but we have no data
Okay.
>muh f-35
Two wrongs don't make a right bro. Just because the military does stupid stuff elsewhere doesn't mean we can make more stupid decisions.
@@Amish_Avenger Okay... obvious question, then. How could they have quantified it for them before they gained the weight, then? I'm uncertain as to whether your position is that it's impossible to understand the differences, or that logistics is basically one big guessing game. Either way, I fail to see it demonstrated that being bigger isn't better. Especially if the cons are logistics requirements, and logistics is either unknowable or a sham.
I suppose we can square this circle by talking in terms of power to weight ratios. Personally, from my limited experience I would rather be light and strong than big and strong in a military context. When you need to move far and long you dont want to be carrying excess bodyweight.
LMAO. That is all. Nice vid.
Serbia and Kosovo.
I'm 6'5 245lbs 112kg. Double bodyweight deadlift is too hard
