#83 - Programming 101 with St. Vincent College, Pt. 2

May 29, 2018 09:00 - 40 minutes - 37.1 MB

Matt brings the programming lecture full circle by elaborating on why the Novice LP eventually must end, what factors are at play, and how to continue to drive progress in the intermediate stage and beyond.   One theory of why the NLP ends is that the fatigue generated from a workout is too great to recover from by the next workout 48 hours later. Thus the trainee comes to the second workout under-recovered and thus unable to exert the amount of force he is theoretically capable of. Matt...

#82 - David Kirkham: Resurrecting the Shelby Cobra Pt. 2

May 25, 2018 09:00 - 50 minutes - 46.1 MB

David Kirkham joins the podcast for the second part of his interview at StrengthCon. After flying to Poland with several thousand pounds of car parts in his baggage and narrowly escaping the wrath of customs, he made contact with the manager of a MiG aircraft factory. Struggling and out of work following the fall of the Soviet Union, the factory eagerly agreed to make Kirkham's Cobra, but had a long way to go before manufacturing to the quality expected in American car shows.   You can c...

May 22, 2018 09:00 - 46 minutes - 42.6 MB

Following discussion of the rec...

#78 - David Kirkham: Turning MiG's into Cobras Pt. 1

May 11, 2018 09:00 - 46 minutes - 42.4 MB

At StrengthCon Matt and Scott met with a number of fantastic guests, but perhaps none with so interesting a background as David Kirkham. At a young age, Mr. Kirkham taught himself to restore a 427 Shelby Cobra CSX3104, guided by a retired Rolls Royce employee who taught him a number of rare metalworking and mechanical skills.   Not long afterward, a relative bought, sold, and imported a Polish MiG fighter jet. The nose was dented badly in the shipping container, and David was asked if he...

#77 - Of Mystery & Barbells: A Conversation with Randy Winfrey

May 08, 2018 09:00 - 40 minutes - 36.7 MB

A man of mystery and intrigue, and certainly the coach with the best tan in Starting Strength, Randy Winfrey retired from an Air Force career as an intelligence agent in the late 90's and began coaching endurance athletes. Having been a triathlete and endurance athlete during his military career, it was a natural fit, however over time he became frustrated with the overuse injuries and overall lack of strength in the endurance sports and discovered heavy barbell training in 2011.   Since...

A few years later, after walking on as a college football player, he found the first edition of Start...

#74 - Barbell Logic Extra: Riffing on Rip with Brent Carter

April 27, 2018 09:00 - 44 minutes - 40.5 MB

Matt and Scott continue their series of StrengthCon chats with the man himself, Mark Rip... ah, I mean, Brent Carter. Brent is a Starting Strength Coach and Staff member with an unusual history. He moved from Texas to New York City in 2008 to pursue a career as a professional dancer. Although his dance background may not directly inform his current strength coaching practice, his theatrical interpretations of Rip are unparalleled among SSC's.   For video evidence of Brent Carter's "glori...

#73 - Enduring Gravity with Steve Hill

April 24, 2018 05:50 - 1 hour - 55.3 MB

Matt and Scott sat down with Starting Strength Coach Steve Hill during StrengthCon to discuss barbells, physics, cycling, and strength training for endurance athletes. One of the things that makes Starting Strength unique is its application of physics to the barbell lifts.

#69 - What is a Cue?

April 10, 2018 09:00 - 47 minutes - 43.1 MB

Cues are an important part of the coaching process. What are they, exactly, and how should they be properly used? Simply put, a cue is a reminder. It's a concise reminder to do a thing that has already been taught as part of the teaching process of the lift. Good coaches use cues while observing a lifter to get them to move in accordance with their movement model for the lift.   Cues are highly individualized, and often over-corrective for the movement pattern they are trying to influenc...

#68 - Frog, the Elder Hambrick

April 06, 2018 09:00 - 1 hour - 60.5 MB

Recently Matt and Scott interviewed Matt's grandfather. Today they interview Scott's dad, affectionately known as "Frog." Raised by a single mom who passed away when he was only eleven, Frog and his siblings were taken in by their "Aunt" May and whipped into shape until his father returned (briefly) to take his children. Frog struck out on his own at age 15, and resolved to finish high school. Homeless, he showered and slept in the gym, until the school principal discovered him and took him ...

They come in packs of 3 and are fairly ...

#65 - The Deadlift

March 27, 2018 09:00 - 48 minutes - 44 MB

Last of the Big Four lifts (squat, bench press, press, deadlift), but certainly not least, the Deadlift is perhaps the purest test of strength. The deadlift is pulled off the floor from a dead stop, as the name suggests, meaning it is a purely concentric movement. There's no way to cheat the deadlift. It either leaves the ground or it doesn't. For this reason it is both brutally difficult, and supremely satisfying to lock out a heavy deadlift. As the 4x World's Strongest Man Jon Paul Sigmars...

#64 - Jordan Peterson's 12 Rules for Life: A Book Review Pt. 1

March 23, 2018 09:00 - 32 minutes - 29.9 MB

#63 - The Bench Press

March 20, 2018 09:00 - 47 minutes - 43.8 MB

Although we often refer to the Squat as the king of the lifts, and Deadlift perhaps the queen, it's undoubtedly the bench press which is most popular out in the world of commercial gyms. Chances are you aren't getting the most out of your bench press technique, however, so Scott and Matt are here to walk you through the nitty gritty details of capturing that last 10% of the lift.   Whiskey of the week: 10yr Redemption High Rye Bourbon.

#61 - The Press

March 13, 2018 09:00 - 59 minutes - 54.3 MB

Picking up a barbell and shoving it over one's head might be the most obvious thing to do with the object, to paraphrase Mark Rippetoe. Exactly how the shoving part happens... happens to be the subject of today's show. Coach Matt and Coach Scott take a deep dive into the world of overhead pressing, or as we like to call it, simply The Press.   Connect With Matt Matt on Instagram Starting Strength Online Coaching — Matt’s website Matt on Facebook Matt on Twitter Connect With Scott...

#59 - The Squat

March 06, 2018 10:00 - 53 minutes - 48.9 MB

Simply known as "The Squat," the low bar back squat, as it is otherwise known, is undoubtedly the king of all exercises. Matt and Scott discuss why the Squat deserves this lofty title, and deliver a condensed portion of the Squat lecture presented at the Starting Strength seminar. As a bonus, Uncle Rip joins mid-conversation to add his own color commentary.   Whiskey of the Week Black Maple Hill Purple Label - A good effort, but don't buy it.

#57 - Optimal vs Real Life

February 27, 2018 10:00 - 42 minutes - 38.6 MB

Training programs, including the novice LP in Starting Strength: Basic Barbell Training, are typically written with a critical assumption. They assume an ideal training schedule, and no missed training sessions. The reality for many lifters, however, is that schedules get disrupted by other responsibilities, by travel, by family issues, by Life with a capital L. Today Matt and Scott compare optimal training and real life, and discuss strategies for managing those times when the two collide a...

#55 - Programming Is Secondary

February 20, 2018 10:00 - 37 minutes - 34.3 MB

The novice LP is a simple program - simple, but hard, and effective. The path beyond into intermediate training is winding and multi-headed. It's easy to get seduced by complexity as programming needs evolve beyond the novice stage, but, as the data reminds, compliance is still king when it comes to getting results.   Today Matt and Scott parse data gathered from Starting Strength Online Coaching clients on workout compliance and gains, and discuss the importance of doing your workouts c...

#53 - Minimum Effective Dose

February 13, 2018 10:00 - 50 minutes - 46 MB

Matt and Scott revisit the concept of minimum effective dose, elaborating on this bedrock concept of strength development for novice lifters and beyond. The minimum effective dose, as it relates to strength training, fulfills both the "simple" and "effective" conditions of the simple/hard/effective philosophy of training. Why do more in the gym, if less will drive progress?   The coaches reflect on some of the intermediate concepts introduced thus far, and how they maneuver a lifter thro...

January 02, 2018 10:00 - 25 minutes - 23.1 MB

Matt and Scott address followers of the popular Stronglifts 5x5 program and how they can continue the gainzZz train by switching to the Starting Strength Linear Progression.
