I'm trying to not make excuses for delaying working out, but I'm 60 pages in and they haven't said anything worth caring about. Like great, you're telling me the history of gyms and how anatomy works. When do I work out?

    Diet advice is fucking awful, Rip is an unironic fascist, only salvageable parts are the bits about deadlift and bench form. I got my start with SS but the whole "brand" really went off the rails and his colleaugues who defected and formed their own brand at Barbell Medicine generally have much better advice

        yeah lol

        We have Starting Strength Coaches all over the world, affiliate gyms all over the country, and advocates of the method everywhere. ( :doubt: ) They are a bridge between the educational material we create and the tens of thousands of people who elect to get their help with its application. Our “Corporate Culture” is shared by many of them, and is in fact what attracted many of them to Starting Strength.

        Here at the gym, our political philosophy is that of the Classical Liberal ( :liberalism: ), outlined quite well on Wikipedia: Classical Liberalism.

        In a practical sense, we are conservative libertarians. We believe that the functions of government should be restricted to the protection of individual rights, the provision of services that cannot be provided by the free market: national defense, the enforcement of contracts and common law, and the provision of absolutely necessary public institutions and public works. And that's about it.
