Mark Rippetoe on the importance of strength training

JermBy Jerm22 Mar 2021Updated:8 Aug 2023
Man in the gym doing deadlift

Mark Rippetoe is an American strength training coach, author, and gym owner.

He is former powerlifter and is the author of Starting Strength.

In short, Mark’s work revolves around simplicity and pragmatism and returning to old-school basics with maximum effectiveness.

The book is a comprehensive guide that delves into the world of barbell training, championing the importance of strength.

The core the book is its in-depth exploration of five key barbell exercises:

  • the squat,
  • press,
  • deadlift,
  • bench press, and
  • power clean.

One of the primary benefits of strength training is its impact on physical health. It helps to build lean muscle mass, which in turn increases metabolism and aids in weight management. This is because muscle burns more calories than fat, even at rest. Additionally, strength training can help to improve bone density, reducing the risk of osteoporosis and fractures. It’s also beneficial for maintaining joint flexibility and can help to alleviate the symptoms of chronic conditions such as arthritis, back pain, obesity, heart disease, and diabetes.

Regular exercise has been shown to reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety, and strength training is no exception. It can also boost self-esteem and body image, thanks to the physical changes that come with regular training.

Furthermore, the focus and discipline required in strength training can have a positive effect on mental resilience and cognitive function.

Apologies for the technical challenges we encountered.
