Wow! That was by far the best podcast, yet.
It's really great to see how the model is evolving and I think this is probably the best introduction to Starting Strength, the system, I have seen/heard, to date. Bravo!
It also did a really great job through Tom's example of describing a plausible progression for a Starting Strength coach, answering the question: "Who are these guys, where do they come from, why is their opinion worth more than that of so many others clamoring for my attention?"
The gut level insistence on the value of the system lying in the offering of well-thought-through rationales (perfectly illustrated by evoking the counter-example of the assistant principle in high school ) was also terrific.
Nice.
