This isn't what I was read, it was from at least a decade ago, but it's pretty much what was said in that interview. Thank you very much for sending this to me.
Andy, what can I say... I'm a sucker for nostalgia! Many thanks for your reply.
Thanks
Again, I never said in my post that I wanted to do "just one exercise". When I lift, I squat, press, Deadlift or Squat, Bench Press and Clean. I merely had a question for Rip about something I remember him saying in an interview about a decade ago. I'd like to read/hear it again because any time someone I know who competes in a sport that isn't a barbell sport tells me they don't have the time to to do weight training to improve their strength and thus, their sport, I am reminded of how Rip said something along the lines of if a person were to only do one of the 5 main lifts that the squat is the one he would tell them to do. This is reinforced by what he says at about 1hr 8mins into this video that was posted in this thread:

I know a lot of people, who've lived well into their eighties or the early 90's, without squatting even once in a life. Do they have pain? I guess yes. So do the ones who've been squatting for years with 1.5-2 BW. Sometimes.
And the Dutch guy, I really like his works; it's incredible.
Well, there's run of the mill pain and there's Hieronymus Bosch level pain. Everyone is going to have the former. The extent to which you have the latter is largely a matter of choice. Of course there are no guarantees, sometimes people are just fucked. But if you wanted something that would give you your best bet against that level of suffering, then barbell training is probably it.
Whether that be chronic, old man pain or pain because your old wobbly ass just fell down the stairs and you broke your hip. Maybe if you had just squatted your balance would be better and your muscle wasting wouldn’t have been an issue. Now we’ll never know. Cue the violins.
