Because people see very appreciable strength results as a beginner if they correctly follow his program and realize that it's not the be-all, end-all of lifting. SS is so easy to follow that you don't even need to write anything down and will teach you the fundamentals of lifting and progressing. It sets you up for success.

>Inb4 Texas Method

TM is a template, not a program. Read Practical Programming, you can make TM into literally anything. Olympic Weightlifting, Strongman, Calisthenics.

Because starting strength and GOMAD and all that shit actually works.

His guides are about becoming big and strong. He doesn't give a shit about aesthetics or small waists, which is admirable in a way. A confident strongfat will have waay more luck with women than an autistic guy with low bodyfat who isn't very strong.

The thing is..true confidence comes from within. When you're spending all hours criticizing yourself and forcing yourself to diet down or lower bodyfat or whatever, you yourself feel low in confidence. Your lifts decrease and you feel bad. You see some flab on your hips and you feel bad. This channels into how you act around others and thus how you are perceived.

Someone like Rip would be confident always, because he realises there is more to life than how you are perceived: its how you perceive yourself. It's how God perceives you. On SS and GOMAD you're defined by strength. Your lifts increase and you get strong, and thus you feel good about yourself. This is how you see yourself. You're confident because of it, and this reflects in how you act and thus how you are perceived.

It's ironic, really...the less you care about what other people think of you, the more attractive you become to those people.

>>41596365
I have no idea why some sort of cult has developed around this guy. He's a failed powerlifter turned "strength guru" who has never trained or coached any legitimately strong or athletic individual and whose fame comes from figuring out that a beginner who eats a shit ton of calories over maintenance, doesn't give a fuck about appearance, and does low volume high intensity training 3x a week can gain a lot of strength in the squat and deadlift and some in the bench very fast. I'm convinced most of his support and shilling comes from fatasses who only follow him for the affirmation that anyone under 15% bf is a "ladyboy."

Not to mention he's literally the proto-Blaha with some of the autistic shit he says.

>>41596518
You do realize you can change the exercises for TM, right? It's a template.In the easiest sense it's:

Volume day
5x5 90% of your 5rm

Recovery day
3x5 with 80% on of your 5rm

Intensity day
5rm PR attempt

Which exercises you're using is completely up to you and depend on your sport, it just so happens that most sports require you to have strong legs and the best exercise for general leg strength just happens to be squats.

the volume/recovery/intensity day doesnt really work for the other lifts.
it "works" for deadlifts if your deadlift goes up when your squat goes up (applies to most people), but that's about it.

I'm a construction worker. Strength is integral to my work.

I make very good money(more than any liberal arts college graduate, at least), and without solid strength training when I was in college I would not be able to maintain my job.

I have a graduate psych degree and would never consider a job with it now. I make $30+ an hour depending on the job. Strength is important.

Also, don't you just fucking want to be strong? I had to pull my boat out of the water today. Real life shit happens where you need to be strong.

SS is the best program a beginner could do. Most of you do retarded brosplits that take 4 years to get you anywhere. You ignorant dummies need to realise that strength=aesthetics as a natural, and SS will skyrocket your strength when youre a beginner real fast

Funny you should mention that. I had the complete opposite experience with it. I felt that doing 90% of my 5rm for 5x5 on volume day was way too hard for squats and deadlifts and that I couldn't recover properly, I had to lower the volume on those two to 80% on volume day, but I had no problem doing it for ohp and bench, and I got good gains for those lifts.
OHP
120x5->145x5
Bench
185x5->225x5
Squat
265x5->305x5
Deadlift
300x5->335x5

I know my deadlift sucks, but I still made good progress in my opinion in just under 4 months.

When will this meme end? Balconybro went from skelly to pic related in 2 years by clean bulking and following a retardedly high volume brosplit. Progressive overload, adequate food and sleep, and above all CONSISTENCY will get you results on any plan. There's nothing magical about squatting 3x a week and ridiculously low upper body volume when it comes to building muscle.

That wasnt my point

The principles of a brosplit are all wrong hence whenever a person who does one sees a jacked person they ask them ''wut routine do you do'' as if the routine matters. There is no point in doing 5 different exercises for the chest or especially the biceps you fukin lunatic. You just need pick one chest exercise and get real strong at it

>>
>>41598586
If you have a good and measurable way on how to manipulate intensity on that exercise, there's nothing that would speak against it, but an Uchikomi is a very dynamic and explosive movement, which is not supposed to be done for high repetitions, much like a clean or snatch. If you look at oly lifters, they improve their cleans by doing a shit ton of squats and heavy clean pulls. If your goal is to become stronger on your Uchikomi, you should do an exercise that uses similar muscles but does not depend on explosiveness.

Again. that is not my fucking point

Why is SS notorious for giving a person big legs? Because you eventually get real fucking strong on the squat. Why is balcony bro muscular? I guarantee hes strong in upperbody stuff

SS WILL get you strong real fucking fast. Lets say you bench 60kg now, you would gain 2.5kg on your bench every session(1.5 a week) if you ate properly and followed the program. Thats 11.25 fucking kilograms in one fucking month(ideally), you would be benching over 2 plates within 4 months dude. Think about it

Do you know anyone who can rep 2 plates on the bench and looks like shit? I dont

Imagine how strong you would get within 6 months of SS

>>41598852

>>
>>41598852
That's bullshit and you know it. How the program is set up and whether or not your will actually be able to progress are 2 different aspects. Nobody does SS and never stalls for 4-6 months. For the same example if someone started out with a 60kg squat, he would be squatting 4pl8 in 4 months.

If I wrote a program where you have to increase your weights by 10kg every sessions would it be better than SS, because you could theoretically make faster gains if you're able to keep up with the program? No, because nobody can make those kind of gains.
>>

30 is a baseline and I make about 100k a year right now overall. I am making more than anyone I know from my graduate school class.

SS is not the best template though, I'd recommend GSLP, but it's not too different so it doesn't really matter too much.

How can you respect the opinion of someone like in the video I linked? Every weightlifting coach, in every confederation worldwide, since the beginning of the sport, had it all wrong.

if, after decades of experience, all successful weightlifting coaches propose that their lifters use high bar squats, does that prove that high bar squats are more effective than low bar squats for weightlifters? of course not. but it'd be pretty odd if you didn't update your assessment, given that consensus (and given Rippetoe's total absence of success in training weightlifters)

He literally says in the video that he would be willing to accept arguments to the contrary if anyone would provide them but nobody does. When I point this out, people ironically continue to not bring up any arguments so Rippetoe's defense is still reasonable.

I'm not defending the low bar squat. I'm defending Rippetoe's defense of the low bar squat.
>>
>>41600010
lamo how dare he appeal to the authority of literally every single successful coach and athlete in the sport ever, no surely until all of them come forward and directly challenge the arguments of one fat irrelvant fuck from texas the point is moot

do you know witchita barbell cub has an olympic weightlifting division that is utter dogshit even by american standards? i mean that goes without saying since rippetoe failed to produce a single impressive athlete in his career but why doesnt he apply his wild new principle of superior low bar squat to his own athletes to gain an egde?

rippetoe is a fucking hack. in weightlifting back squat is used as a primary movement to develop leg strength. rippetoe argues lb squat is superior because it more closely resebles the first stage of clean and snatch wherein posterior chain is utilized to a higher degree, therefore the carryover from lb squat would be of benefit. what he fails to understand is the very purpose of the squat in the context of weightlifting,weightlifters already do A FUCKTON of actual pulls to assist the first stage of cnj and snatch, they squat for a very different purpose.

>>
>>41600230
the comparison with flat-earthism is quite helpful. what would cause someone to not update their assessment, given a flat earth consensus? data that is inconsistent with the theory

Rippetoe has some fairly weak mechanistic arguments (i.e., a (weak) theory) and precisely no data to support his contention that weightlifters would benefit from low-bar squatting. weightlifting coaches don't bother to enunciate a theory but instead have reams of data that their methods work

do you think the burden on proof is on weightlifting coaches to provide a theory that undergirds their data, or on Rippetoe to give any evidence whatsoever to support this theory?

Rippetoe also has theories on how squatting would help endurance cyclists. they are remarkably stupid

Tbh you can argue against Rip all you want, but I don't see most guys in the gym squatting what I squat, or deadlifting what I deadlift.

because rippletit's spotuing this bullshit is the equivalent of a casual jogger joining a discussion with elite sprinters and suggesting they do more LISS instead of sprinting. logical falacies apply to sides engaged in an actual arguemnt, ignoring a blatantly retarded opinion and the person chanpioning it is not the equivalent of being unable to argue agaisnt it.

The word filter doesn't work when it's the first word? Tbh never seen that happen before.

Because he plays with people's egos

>you're a faggot if you don't do squats and grow your legs disproportionately!
Then weak minded betas go
>oh no I don't want to be viewed as a faggot by some washed up has-been!
>>

>>41600430
that is more than anything a testament to the state of your gym environment rather than your or rippetoes accomplishments. if a novice lifter on a novice routine can outlift his gym then he's in a casual fucking gym, not that there's anything wrong with that.

No cares about your infatuation with me. If you have nothing to add to the topic maybe don't make useless posts lol.

But seriously I've been reading his tweets and the guy just seems like some southern asshole stuck in the past. He has really dumb things to say about race.

I'm glad people are starting to realize that he's not as relevant as the internet makes him out to be. There are more knowledgeable people out there with actual backgrounds in science

No one cares about you or your absolute shit tier shiposting.
fuck off

>>41600464
True, though. It's a college gym, I think I've seen maybe, 5 or 6 people squatting more than 4 pl8, and only 1 or 2 people deadlifting more than 5pl8.

Trappy disappeared, you appeared.
Coincidence? I think not.

Tbh I'm shocked

Fair enough. Again, I wasn't defending the low bar squat. Simply saying that Rippetoe defending it seemed reasonable to me.

Will you at least agree that SS is a great beginner program though?
>>
>>41600522
i agree with that

i don't even mind Rippetoe, fwiw (certain retrograde views aside)—i just wish he'd stick to his bailiwick, which is teaching novices and intermediates how to get strong, especially at the squat, in an efficient manner. he's really good at that
>>
>>41600522
It's a great beginner program if you're willing to follow the diet and your goal is strength>aesthetics.
>>
>>41600358
Yeah for a complete novice who starts with the bar, it has been proven to work the way it's intended for two month or so at best. After that you'll start missing reps, hitting plateaus and deloading. You can stay on it your whole life if you want but there's no way you're consistently adding 2.5kg every workout on every lift. That's just wishful thinking.

Every day, usually several times per day.

It's not to late to change your hikikomori ways, anon. Go out and live an actual life as a grown man.

5x5 SL is just SS with 2 sets added and the power cleans replaced with pendlay rows (the worst kind of row). Mehdi's information on his website is great for absolute beginners and available for free, in comparison SS is a far better source of information, but it's like 20 bucks(?), or you can pirate it. In any case, you'll be stalling in no time with 5x5 and you're going to reduce it to 3x5, like Mehdi recommends on his website, so it's the same fucking shit in the end.

>some blogger borrows Mark's illustrations for an article

>This is somehow Mark's fault

This guy basically spends 7 minutes saying there's a lot more to the squat than a single illustration can cover but doesn't even mention that the book it's originally from has 50 fucking pages on the squat alone. What exactly is he criticizing? The use of pictures without proper contest?

1/10 would not watch again.

implying you actually watched it.
