A brief video tour of WFAC located in Wichita Falls, Texas.
Mark Rippetoe owns the original Starting Strength gym. Video was recorded during the annual Starting Strength Coaches Association Conference. August 2017. - กีฬา
I would like to see the footage of Rippetoe kicking out Bruno😂
💯💯💯
anzone else recognize Into the Void's baseline? Black Sabbath forever! \m/
Owen Madaeen it was in a previous video of his, and now I can't hear this song without picturing Alan.
Favorite sabbath song. This is a pretty sweet acoustic version.
Hey Alan, I have been subscribed for a while. I do enjoy your channel and your videos have been very helpful. I do not always get to watch every upload but feel very lucky now that I've clicked on this one. I went to school in Wichita Falls (MSU)... and you took me down memory lane for a minute. Keep up the good work.
I really don't understand why, since Alan further immersed himself in the SS method, the comments section has been full of hate.
since allan teaching ss squat method my squat rocketed from 350 to 436lbs using smolov jr. for 6weeks...tnx for the technique allan it helps me a lot...
Alan, thanks for the WFAC gym tour. Also, Congratulations on all of your success. SS and otherwise.
The location of Ripp's gym is one of the only reasons that I want to get stationed at Sheppard
And always remember, train u̶n̶t̶a̶m̶e̶d̶ however Rip tells you.
People need simple. What's wrong with that
will Nill ??
I NEED to see that video of Bruno trolling Rip!!!
1:30 Austin: Not bad
Form looks pretty stellar to me! XD
Thanks for sharing this !!
No Hammer Strength Equipment?
No Smith Machine?
On my bucket list of places to train
I actually drove up there last year for a few pointers from Brian Fox, one of their trainers.
What a great gym..thanks for the informative video.
Kudos to you for "Into the Void"
Nice shout out. Dan, RIP got his cert. When I was born!
this is a beautiful place!
Excellent video
So my question is do they give out 2 week gym pass membership. Out upgrade training is usually there in Sheppard and I was wondering if I can stop by for the two weeks. Especially since the gym on base is packed with all the new trainees.
is it legal to do "one arm snatch" for the circus dumbbell event in a strongman comp?
Nice little acoustic Into The Void in the background there.
Hittin those sabbath tunes again.. yeah boy!
Where is the smith machine and the leg extensions? I only see a bunch for curling racks and benches where i can do my chest flys
is there a link for the bolt together squat rack from brown bro's welding just wanna take a look at one
Great vid. Why don't you do a documentary on the gym starting from Bill Starr to Rip, or even from before, as how Starr started.
Great video but was hoping to see Rip!
its weird looking at a gym where I'm stationed at. here at Sheppard AFB
Great gym love it
Kind of a weird coincidence. I bought the ss book as I was about to leave for maintenance officers school. The school is at..Sheppard AFB. Can't wait to head down there.
Where did you get the acoustic copy of "into the void"?
I like the acoustic Into the Void version playing
Very nice
I've always wondered what WFAC looks like! Thanks for sharing. The clips of Jordan and Austin are awesome.
Is your grip for deadlift a personal choice or is there a correct choice.
cool vid!
Love the Sabbath acoustic set.
Interesting Nautilus sign. I would have paid good money to see Rip and Arthur Jones debate....
1:26 bro just double-overhanded 500 lbs without straps and made it look easy. Good God, man.
Professional!
Alan Thrall x Starting Strength!
JUJIMUFU wants you to work out in his new garage gym.. hit him up it would be awsome.
Anyone know what kind of rope they use for the lat pull down machines?
Kernmantle rope
Awesome! Only about a couple of hours away! Lol
I live here :)
Subtle acoustic cover of "Into to the void"...Nice.
I used to live about 5 minutes away from Shepard when I was in elementary school, right off missile road. Irrelevant but whatever
whats the song name?
what is the advantage of slanted safety pins?
Shippalrus to rack the bar safely in a bench press.
Appreciate the Black Sabbath cover ;)
Why does Rip have treadmills at his gym?
Beef with Candito since you're a SS coach now?
Bilal Syed did they argue somewhere, or are you just asking a random question?
When has Candito said he doesn't like SS?
Yh that link was where I got the idea from. The SS trainer didn't seem impressed by Candy Toe
Why should he be? Candito is weaker and has 1% of the knowledge and education of Dr. Feigenbaum
Great choice on black sabbath
Alan, love your channel and I don't mind reviews of other gyms per-say but I think this came off as an infomercial instead of a cool place to work out. Plenty of strong people there though.
What's a "Starting Strength" gym? Is it for beginners?
No, they're just gyms owned by certified starting strength coaches. All levels of athletes can train at them. Starting Strength is the name of the company, and doesn't necessarily refer specifically to the novice program. If you did happen to be a novice, you would run starting strength. But if you were an intermediate or advanced trainee, you would run an intermediate or advanced program
The Mecca!!!
Black Sabbath \m/
Into the void!!!
\m/
Black sabbath all day
He was one of the first people to get the cert.
Who, Alan Thrall?
Mark
Best part ab the video was the acoustic Black Sabbath 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
I don't know why it seems there's a lot of people who have massively benefited from SS, and perhaps they wouldn't have even been lifting weights if it weren't for SS, yet they're talking shit about it.
T-rex strength
Go to train and have fun with Jujimufu pls! You are both the best!
It's so nice just to look at the gym that's not cluttered with all the bullshit equipment.
Alan If I see you in Chicago this year on November 10 our code word will be Lesbian Man!!!!!
Into the void.
Hi Alan, what's with the recent starting strength dogma you're pushing against high bar squats?
I actually just started reading SS and am almost done the chapter on 'the squat'. I think the main reason he at least prefers, and recommends/teaches low bar is due to the book saying that low bar trains the posterior chain better. The book goes into detail about it but in short the high bar is used by Oly lifters because it mimics the snatch/C&J. But the hip draaaave is decreased in the high bar due to the position of the bar on the traps, while the low bar works the entire posterior chain (not just focusing on the quads like the high bar.) I can see both points of view, however I've seen oly weightlifters who do low bar. Sorry for the long paragraph. I don't speak for Alan but that's probably why if I had to guess.
JakeTheRake1000 Perhaps you should explain why, assuming he is pushing LB over HB, you take issue with his recommendation.
I didn't say I have an issue with it, I just want to know why. Perhaps you should go to school
Thanks a lot! I've not read SS so I was wondering why
He doesn't have anything against high bar. Look at his recent squad video.
I miss the old content... back then Alan was original with his humour and info
waleedkhot rip
first Elliot Hulse, now Alan...
man whats happening to all of my favourite youtubers???!!
maybe that’s because it works, ham heads. stop whining. if you’re sick of being a consumer get off your butts, write your own book, and do something.
yeah and the guy that helped Alan with his deadlift doesn't seem like a great athlete tbh.
edit: i deadlift 200 so i would know athletic..
notatopato Lol
At the end should have been something to remember. Train detracked or masturbate untamed or something I just cant remember what it was...
So many people like to talk smack about starting strength and complain they're weak there yet are actually novices and go back to reading their silly bullshit workouts on muscle mags lol...
Sheppard AFB hua!!!!!
Is that your bf Austin? Such a 💙 couple you are…
Black Sabbat
I suppose that summer 2k17 will be remembered as the one where the quality of Alan Thrall's TH-cam content plummeted.
We've lost him, he's a Ripolyte now boys.
Into the void! I bet 50% of people watching this video dont even know.
Hahah can't believe Rippetoe almost ended up in Bruno. Wish he got a pic with Sasha Baron Cohen or something
That face at 3:41 from the red shirt dude, feelsbad
The gym decor looks to be stuck in '81. Is that a camera filter?
That would make it even more appealing.
Hip draiive
why does everyone recommend starting strength and icf on the internet but when i talk to competitors 1 on 1 , they tell me to avoid it that its a peaking program.
Lol iTS not a peaking program at all . Some form of Lineair periodisation is usually used to peak .
ICF is a terrible beginner program. Way too much volume, way too much potential to plateau really early, way too much potential for injury, way too long of workouts.
SooperBeez because it's a beginner program. Why would a competitor, most likely advanced, use it now?
because I was asking for a beginners advice on where to start, I dont lift but i like to talk to people in person for advice, I usually get more detailed info and personal perspective insight.
A lot of people who have a lot of lifting experience can't particularly remember what they did when they first first fiiiiiiiiirst started. It's a lot of trial and error, but because they stay at it they get stronger. As they get stronger, they are more experienced and start figuring out what works for them. But by the time they figure out what works for them, they are no longer a novice.
The idea with SS is two fold. One the one hand it's a particular way of teaching and executing the lifts (i.e. emphasis on mid-foot balance, hip drive out of the squat, press technique, etc.) On the other side, it's a set and simple method of programming to get you as strong as it can in the most efficient way possible. Once you get to a point where you cannot add weight to the bar every week, you have essentially graduated the Starting Strength Novice Linear Progression Program and you're ready to start implementing other training methods.
It's not as sexy as % based training, or high volume high intensity stuff, or extreme stress that leave you unable to walk for a couple of days. The linear progression is super simple, and it's effectiveness is derived from the body's stress adaptation function.
I hope I gave you enough information to help you understand a different perspective.
Rip could have been in borat?!
Does rippatoe drive a Nissan maximu. Wtf
I love how rip is a no bullshit kind of man. I think rippetoe is frustrated because he knows hes right and alot of un informed people argue with him. I hope to meet him in chicagos seminar and I hope to meet Alan there too. I was not suprised that Alan gravitated to Starting Strength after following Alan for some time now becuase Alan is a person that is always hungry for knowledge. I have recently rehabilitated 10 people using the starting strength model an will give all I have to try to become a starting strength coach. I just hope Mark Rippetoe doesnt eat me and if he does then I will be honored to be digested by him and come out of his butthole. I only hope I dont give him indigestion.
Kick out Bruno? Rip, y u dew dis?
cause bruno's gay af-almost as much as leg presses
I've been to Wichita Fall lol. Was stationed at Sheppard Airforce Base. That town is a shit hole! Nothing but tumble weed and tornadoes. It's like an episode of Andy Griffith.
jetter820 I was totally expecting Mayberry but it was more like Springfield to me
pretty similar to planet fitness...
It would be nice if, you know, the content would be a bit more deep than "SS is the one and only thing" Look at place like JTS man, they gather many different disciplines, thoughts and opinions and they don´t sell anything as dogma. I guess that is why CWS and Max have trained multiple natioanl record holders.
Borat was ok but ali g was hilarious.
SS is great but be careful you don't get sucked into the cult!
Too late
WTF happened with the comment section here? Oh right, SS only appeals to people with a capacity for critical thinking. No wonder all the bros from BB dot com here are triggered AF.
Had to do it I un subbed Alan when you start chernin out shit I want to watch I'll come back and always remember.....stop doing ss videooooossssah.
Buh-bye ...
This is kind of like one of those old Pro-communism propaganda films.
Sure it's a cool gym and what not, but it all goes to waste, because they won't let you lift there unless you're on a SS program. I walked in and was immediately turned away when I said I didn't want to do SS.
That's a lie. Rip let's anyone train there. He merely suggests to people signing up for the first time that they try the program. They don't have to.
Steve Jervis man internet people are weird. Who kicked you out?
laughter95 I don't remember her name. It was an older stout lady. She said "yeah we don't really do body building here, it's a starting strength gym and we would have to set you up with a coach" I'm 165lbs and don't look anything like a bodybuilder, I was also wearing and Anderson powerlifting shirt. Maybe they do let people work out there now, but they didn't want my business that day.
TheHaiku2 I literally have no reason to lie about that. But okay....
It sounds weird that theyd do that... I dont think ss has anything against bodybuilders - as long as theyve run the LP before getting into bodybuilding :)
4:17 Actually Arthur Jones made Nautilus, however this sign perfectly reflects the cognitive dissonance that makes Mark Rippetoe a fool/Trump voter. Nautilus equipment was designed to cater to the human body and create multi directional resistance. The barbell forces the lifter to conform to it's limitations and provides resistance in a straight line from one direction (as gravity dictates). It's just a matter of getting your head around the fact that muscle and thus strength is not built by balance and skill, but by restricting movement powered by muscular contraction in an incrementally loadable fashion.
jimmybean I mean, his avatar sorta looks like a primate version of a troll, so it's probably a bit of b8, m8
jimmybean Ahh an obsequious Rippetoe nut hugger, I was wondering when one of you guys would show up. Go on then, tell me which part of my comment is in any way untrue or illogical?
Wow. So off-base it's not even wrong.
Will Wyatt Go on...
PISS ORDER 66 TROOPER I agree with the guy on your Trump video who said to you "your Dad should have pulled out...
Of his Sister." 😂😂😂😂😂
