Rip hasn’t completed a day of work until he’s leaned on everything in the gym.
micky mcfarts Amazing
Charis Apostolidis tremendous
Hilarious
@@mickymcfarts5792 Fascinating.
I've gotta admit, the presence of treadmills was pretty shocking.
yes... after all he dose say "the only thing treadmills burn is electricity" :D
Rip owns two t-shirts and hes had them both for 30 years
lemon tree apparently from all the comments, they should be worn out at the nipples!
@@chrisrodriguez4139 You obviously missed the t-shirt maintenance video. It involves using oil on the nipples. Some people... 😒
wreagfe lmao I gotta see that one
Lol saw this on the comments from the haters
Imagine what his underpants are like. Actually now I can’t stop thinking about his underpants. Wowowowow.
I had the occasion to stop in the WFAC on my way back from a trip out to the panhandle. Having learned a lot from this channel, I wanted to pick up copy of Starting Strength, since it wasn't available in my local bookstore. I knocked on the door, and the lady in this video in the jean-shorts (Carmen, I think is her name?) was kind enough to open the door and sell me a copy that she had in the back.
Having been on the road for some time, I asked to use the restroom. She kindly pointed me to the back corner.
As soon as I finished my business, I turned the toilet paper rolls around in the stalls so they dispensed the wrong way.
Victory being mine, I collected my copy and returned home.
It was a good day.
😂
😂
Might be the best TH-cam comment I have ever seen
Amazing.
Perfect.
This video is exactly what I expected from the legendary Mark Rippetoe.
I feel like lifting here would be very uncomfortable. Rip just watching you with disgust and disappointment if you do anything that isn't following SS
lol
What the hell u doing bicep curl for boy. Get back under the squat rack!!
I need a DVD for my 120 minute long rest periods between sets.
XD
THE DONT LEAN ON ME FLAG LOL
Near the Klingon flag, ha.
They should sell those
16:45 Joe Rogan calls in, again.
Mark's "peachy" character exudes through his words and eyes. Such a happy guy, I bet he is a joy to have around all day...
😂
It's like an app from the 60's 😂😂
The whole place looks like it's trapped in the 60's 😂 but thats kind of charming
Looking extra pink today, just as expected from the greatest
Thanks for all the free information you put out Rip.
Rippetoe is cool dude, i would like to have him as a personal trainer. he is so informative
I would love to watch him squat and deadlift in the nude. No homo.
This was interesting to watch. Gives us a better spatial feel for the place we only see in fragments in the regular videos.
This is the best gym tour i have ever seen
Thank you for showing us your gym.
Thank you for the tour. I’d give my eye teeth to lift there!!
Thank you Rip for the tour of WFAC. Enjoy your humour.
Thanks for the tour. You have got all the essential tools to make your clients strong and probably healthy. Plus no retirded gym bro stupidity allowed in your place. It's a pity for not having the SS gym franchise in my area. Would've sign up for a membership immediately.
20:54 good look at bree's legs. The rest of the tour was nice too. Thanks!
Thikkk
Thanks for the time stamp. 👍
Thiiiiiiick lol.
I wish I knew about starting strength 10 years ago, I would’ve drop everything and move to Wichita .
Still a dream of mine, hopefully one day!.
35 lb plate is because up until the 70's most barbells were sold as a set through a catalog and they'd give you 2 of each size to save on shipping, you could mix plates to come up with different weights; you didn't have 10 of everything like in a modern commercial gym; also gave you a nice taper on the sleeves when you used all of them with most of the weight closest to your hands which is where you want it. Standard plates also had 7.5, 12.5, and 20 lb plates available.
Standard plates had so many sizes - 1.25, 2.5, 5, 7.5, 10, 12.5, 15, 20, 25, 35, 40, 50, 75 and 100. I have at least one set of each in my collection. I have a few standard plates in kg sizes too.
11:40 A beautiful copy of the Starting Strength manga.
Lmfaooooo Mark Rippetoe no Monogatari
5 reps, 3 sets, 4 exercises, 3 times a week!!
(-Hip Drive Man...cousin of One Punch Man)
never thought id hear the day of rip talking about campy components, that threw me for a loop
Rip. I stumbled across this video and really enjoyed it. Hope all is well. Mike M
“You people” lol.. I love it!
This was really interesting!
What a great community to be part of
Nice to see you have salad at the door for the vejans
gotta appease them vejans, or they throw fits and pass out
fsmoura revive them with a sip of beef broth!
rip honestly owns
When this shit is over, is live to come over and train in the gym for a month, or two.
The lighting is powered by a fire burning steam generator that runs on "comments from the haters"...it actually powers half of Wichita Falls.
Bre needs more screen time damnit
22:15 _That fan, see that fan? That fan is actually one of the the propeller and engine groups of a World War II B-17 bomber. After the war, it was taken out, sold as military surplus, propped up in this metal pole, and has been running ever since. It actually flew in the Western theater, in these glorious days, when we went in to firebomb our brothers in their hospitals and museums into charred fat because . . . well, don't ask. Anyhoo, it's highly illegal today to have that much power in a fan; it'll chop an albatross into minced meat and keep chugging along just fine._
Wholesome.
Best thing about this facility other than the simple equipment with a purpose is NO MIRRORS on the walls behind the power racks!!
Wow what a cool gym!
10:00 A Klingon flag?! I knew Rip was cool, but that's awesome!
nerdly badass
Thanks for the tour. I'd love to visit WFAC for a Starting Strength seminar. Unfortunately, at this time Japan won't let me back in (despite me having permanent residence).
If only I had a gym like this near where I live in Wisconsin.
there's a gym just like this where i live, it's a "bodybuilding landmark" and no one goes there because it's full of 60 year old fat dudes who talk your ear off about their 1987 single ply record
Love Rip and SS.
There was only one person in the gym who was not over weight 🤣🤣🤣
killed me
🤣😂
They don't care about abs
Yep, rope I use in caving.
Thanks. Wish I lived in Wichita Falls, although with all the Californians moving to Texas maybe I should look for a gym in Oklahoma.
big thighs save lives
What’s the oldest piece of equipment in the gym besides Rip?
His pearl necklace. :P
wreagfe is that really a pearl necklace lol I thought it was his diabetes pill amulet
The "how vegans are conceived" picture is hilarious!
Imagine doing a set of squats and rip walks up behind and yells “YOU BETTER STAY IN YOUR HIPS!”
This is my dream. You agree with this?
I'd like to see the blued steel and walnut used in Rip's gym defense plan.
That's a good way to put it.
I'd love to have a training session over there, but as I'm in England that's unlikely to happen. Great to see though, simplicity works.
Thanks for the tour, interesting, certainly nothing fancy, just good basic stuff. Question, is it a nice place to be?
Really a good basic gym with a great vibe and community. In fact the single happiest moment in my life was taking a dump in the gym restroom.
Who cares about being first I’d be dead last just here his sarcastic ass guy is legend
What weird dialect of english is this?
Shiroyasha mine
The water fountain was made in my home town.
Is Mike Morrison a gym feature? Where can I get one for the gym I go to?
nice gym
Bizarrely interesting
Cool gym
I didn’t notice any charge stations next to the benches for your phone. Come to think of it where are the trainees sitting on the benches looking into their screens?
Drinking game: take a shot every time Rip says "Wichita Falls Athletic Club"
I always gym in my in my home gym, nothing better than squatting over 400lbs for multiple reps and sets like an animal.
It's also true that wearing vibrams is the equivalent of lifting with a buttplug.
Went to school there
Damn that is one amazing bike. The group set is like £2000+
Made translations to every language in existence except Spanish
SubHertz the Spanish translation is almost done. BTW, the Aasgaard company is approached by people that want to translate the books in their native language. Rip doesn’t pick and choose which one he wants done. It just so happens that other peoples beat Spanish readers to the punch
Demographics are used to determine what translation gets made.
@@Rothbardy i would translate It for free i love ss contetn
@@swoleboy9640
Maybe if you get good at spelling, punctuation, and proofreading someone will give you an opportunity.
And italian
The trip to Dallas
Hi Rip, I am brand new to lifting but have started doing squats, presses, and bench presses with bands and chains because I have heard Louie Simmons used them. Should I put plates on the bar when I do this? Right now I'm just putting bands and/or chains on with no plates. This is for my beginner dynamic effort days. Thanks!
Lol
My kind of gym.
14:35 when he begins to reveal the secret to the longevity of his lat pulldown machines: kernmantle rope.
No leg extension??
Haha, this is nice. Let me know if you ever want to redo the Korean translation of SS.
This gym is the real thing.
The B&R barbell is a great bar. In fact, I like it so much that I bought another one that I found listed on Craigslist.
Those plants need strength training.
Pineapple Pizza They need a GOMAD
If they got their squat up to 405 they would be harder to kill.
The Dagda “The average male ficus weighs at least 200lbs”
17:19 lol.
I like the 35 lb weights... i don't know why but if feels nicer.
I wonder how much a membership cost
How do I do legs.....? Very funny. Mark and Gironda have one thing in common. 'The essence'.
Hey, can you guys do an episode on Phil?
18:03 Is Rip walking around in climbers? Where my Linemen buddys at?
He would be the angry JL throwing square washers at apprentices!
Who is the skeleton strangling?
Who is being strangled by the skeleton?
Rip, what does the other yellow flag say in the Olympic weight room? We saw the "don't lean on me" flag, but not the other one. ???
“Don’t curl in the squat rack.” I think. 😏
"Don't curl in me"
Why are there treadmills in rips gym?
Were is the Pec Dec ?
behind the flyer machine
You imagine the condition of Rips boxers?
Blown away Rip A) knows what Campagnolo is and B) calls it Campy like he tinkers with bikes in his spare time.
Do they have day passes?
I love how dusty those treadmills look, they probably don't see much use in there 😂 not that they should, treadmills suck for running training.
Rip seems like he’s been drinking “water” from a coffee cup in the office.
I was there about 2 weeks ago and don't remember the pencil sharpener. Shame on me for not noticing.
I could watch that lady on the treadmill all day
She is very sexy I know.
Nice Klingon flag hanging. 👍😁
A real (old school) gym. And BTW, I would marry Bre.
Creep
His gym the way he wants it
"Never read the comments"
#AllPlatesMatter
(Even 35's)
"How do I do leg day" - haha.
rip has a bike?!
Such a violent thumbnail, I hope the WF authorities are informed
Missing kettlebells.
Nice thumbnail. I see Mark still into that BDSM shit
No trap bars?
Looks more like a museum than a gym
p.s. bree's got a scary smile
