    Cant people realize that if your system was a knock off of Bills that maybe Bill Starr would of had issue with it? I was fortunate enough to be pretty good friends with Bill and he spoke highly of you. I never realized that his books are going for such crazy prices now. I happen to have all 3 and even have some of his art work as well.

    Bill Starr was awesome. He taught me and many college athletes how to do squats, bench and cleans (we did not do the jerk). He wrote a bunch of articles in muscle mag. He was simple and yet awesome. Heavy 5X5 Mondays, light Wednesdays, new heavy Fridays 3X3 (then Monday you try to do it for 5). Squat, bench and cleans. It was great. But more importantly, he was great. He was glad to teach and talk to awesome strong students and more bench warming football players like me (trying to get stronger to get in). We could all learn a lot from Bill Starr (who loved to lift in flip flops)

    TL;DR Bill Starr produced HLM, not LP programming.
    Bill Starr's methods can be found in The Strongest Shall Survive as mentioned on pg 443 of Barbell Prescription and his genius produced the HLM method of manipulating the stress/recovery/adaptation cycle the body goes through throughout a weekly basis, which became the bred and butter of intermediate programming success after one has graduated the novice phase of Starting Strength programming.
    Edit: nvm he just explained the whole thing :/

      Pgs. 253 and 256, actually. BBRx doesn't have a pg 443. :) Exactly as Rip said: Starr left us HLM, or at least the template, and it originally included Squat, Bench, and Clean.

    Is there any footage out there of Starr lifting? I've seen videos of other York lifters like Bill March and Bob Bednarski, hopefully there's also some of him. I use his programming principles for the Olympic lifts and it's worked really well so far, and every time I've followed the advice from his articles he's never been wrong.

    When I read "Starting Strength" I saw a certain influence by Bill Starr. It looked like to me that you included some things from Bill Starr like squatting 3 times a week and power cleans, however, it also looked like you went your own way in a lot of the program.

    I live in North Carolina and trained at a gym owned by a man named Jack King, he was a former Olympic lifter turned bodybuilding. Bill was s huge influence on Jack as well, he like you came up with his own methods too. I also own the strongest shall survive (a good book) as well as your book. I think you do a much better job of analyzing and breaking down the movements.

    The NLP is remarkably similar to a course first published in 1958 by Reg Park.
    Back extension 3x10
    Squat 3x5
    Bench 3x5
    Deadlift 3x5
    Train 3x a week, adding 5 lb.
    Run for 3 months.
    Park called it a strength and bulk course and it was intended to be the first in a series of courses for weightlifters and body builders.
    He recommends keeping a log, dropping poundage by 10% at sticking points and working back up, or increasing bodyweight.
    Interestingly at the time of writing Paul Anderson was the only man to have pressed over 400 lb. (props to Chase).
    Park was the 2nd person to have benched 500 lb, he was a strength based bodybuilder.
    Alternating press and bench, and cutting the 3x5 deadlift down to 1x5, and deleting the back extensions are improvements that would make the program identical to the first phase of Starting Strength NLP.
    Not saying SS is based on Park's program, it's obviously not, but Park was onto some of the the same basic principles very early on.

      Park actually got this from a few guys that wrote about it in the 30s (can’t remember their names off the top of my head). This and essentially SS have been around for almost 100 years

      @@Jmack7861 I have a lot of weightlifting texts from the 1920s, 30s, 40s and 50s and I've never seen a reference to 5x5 before Reg Park. Park said, in writing, that the concept of 5x5 came from working with his grandfather in the coal mines in Leeds. He discovered that he could work longer without tiring if he switched his shoveling side ever 5 shovelfuls. When he got advanced in weight lifting he decided to try the same thing with his sets so he could use more weight than the traditional bodybuilding sets of 10.
      So I can't say with absolute certainty that there was no 5x5 before Park, but Park didn't acknowledge getting it from anyone else and I've never seen it referenced before Park. There was obviously heavy, low-rep training around before Park, and books and magazines by writers such as Mark Berry, Earle Leiderman, the Saxons, etc. espousing it, but formal 5x5? I've never heard of it.

    @boxerfencer 3 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    Thanks for clearing that up Mark! That always was in the back of my mind. I suppose everyone assumes a direct correlation between your material and Bill Starr's due to your predilection for sets of five, which Starr also favored and full body sessions, but there's more to programming than reps per set or even body splits, which amounts to little more than superficial similarities.

      Well it uses the same 3 day a week/AB rotation as Starting Strength, as well as sets of 5, and it uses squats, deadlifts, presses and bench presses. Of course the same is true of a myriad of workouts people have done over the years so it's a question of whether you think you can copyright such generic points. The same is true of course when you look at SS vs Bill Starr's workouts, and I'm sure if you look further back still you'll find someone else using those basic principles even earlier.
      Stronglifts has never meant for the same goals as SS and I think the creater of the program makes that clear. It's more of a bodybuilding beginner program while SS is aimed at athletes looking to get stronger.
