Justin Lascek Checks In

[Bradley Gish]

Justin's 485x5 squat in 2009 was one of the randomly recommended YouTube videos that convinced me to purchase Starting Strength, which turned out to be one of the most consequential decisions of my life. Thank you for your service, Justin, and thank you for being an inspiration to me (and I'm sure plenty of others) for nearly a decade.

I second this. Back when I started my novice LP 4 years ago, I ran across YouTube videos of the 70’s Big crew smashing heavy ass weights at WFAC. They inspired me, and still do.

Wow, that is a really powerful essay. Kudos to Justin for being brave enough to write it.

Goddamn...this and Jocko Willink’s pieces are two of the best Memorial Day tributes I have read in a long time.

Same here, Justin. Thank you.
