Rip, I recently watched the podcast clip on Youtube of you describing your incident with Sacha Baron Cohen and it made me curious as to how often do you usually have to throw someone out of your gym? What's the most common reason for someone being asked to leave? Do you ever give anyone second chances or is it once you're gone, you're gone? I'd like to own my own gym one day and wanted to know how often I might have to kick someone out for being a shithead.

Doesn’t happen often enough to comment on, just a couple of times in almost 40 years.

One of the fairly recent podcasts mentioned using power cleans to warm up for deadlifts. Can the same thing be done with the press and the bench? If I’m going to bench three sets of five at 280, is there a reason not to warm up to a press triple at 200, then do an abbreviated bench warm up, say the bar for a set off 5, then 135 and 185 for doubles and a single at 225 before doing the work sets or is that asking to get hurt?
How much is your PR press?

The only reason not to do this would be that it will interfere with your bench work sets. The only way to know is to try it.
