Born in Texas, spent too much time away, will die here. Like many, starting lifting early, didn't know shit, made mediocre progress, still don't know much, but more than I used to (Thanks Rip). I travel both domestically and internationally several times a year- Programming is a bastard, but hell that's life, you just make adjustments.
Bought Rip's SS for my nephew 18 months ago (asked him to inscribe it with one of my preferred Rip Quotes)- He's a Texas HS Footballer. He went from 5' 10" and 165 to 6" and 210- I don't think Rip can take credit for the height, but he can for the weight and strength the kid gained. 525 squat ( deep!), 295 bench, 285 PC. HARD working kid plus starting strength equals results. Starting his junior campaign at ILB this fall, and now on the radar as a player to watch.
My broke down body still benefits from Rip's principles, and I'm glad to see the old bastards are getting a little notice and help now. I want keep gaining strength no matter how small the increment until they throw dirt on me.
