🗣️:Mark Rippetoe's "Starting Strength" has been the gateway for millions to get under the bar. His impact on the strength training world is undeniable, and his book has been a go-to resource for weightlifters worldwide.

"Starting Strength" is simple: being strong is better than being weak. We can debate back angles, “hip drahve”, and GOMAD - the fact remains that strength is what counts in lifting. Ever since I read “Practical Programming”, a bucket list item of mine was to attend a “Starting Strength” seminar in its birthplace of Wichita Falls, and it lived up to the hype.

I watched Rip coach the entire weekend, 12-hour days of cuing, applying knowledge, and explaining the why behind the methodology. Like the best coaches I know, Rip is able to manipulate movement with a single cue, and improve the entire lift, without over-coaching and over-correcting word vomit.

Rip invites anyone to try his method and if they have a better way to reliably increase strength, then use it. He does have a problem with training that resembles circus tricks to get likes on Instagram and Twitter. As he put it “you always owe them a why”, and it has to be better than “it looks cool”.

While there are many aspects to performance, strength and, specifically, maximal force are measurable, unlike opinions. Your training is either going to result in you lifting more weight or less weight each week. Just like Rip takes pride in helping others overcome gravity, Hawkin Dynamics takes pride in having a product that accurately measures it.
