Mark Rippetoe
is the author of Starting Strength: Basic Barbell Training, Practical
Programming for Strength Training 2nd edition, Strong Enough?,
Mean Ol' Mr. Gravity, and numerous journal, magazine and
internet articles. He has worked in the fitness industry since 1978,
and has been the owner of the Wichita Falls Athletic Club since
1984. He graduated from Midwestern State University in 1983 with
a Bachelor of Science in geology and a minor in anthropology. He
was in the first group certified by the National Strength and
Conditioning Association as a CSCS in 1985, and the first to
formally relinquish that credential in 2009. Rip was a competitive
powerlifter for ten years. He won the 198-pound weight class at
the Greater Texas Classic in 1982, and placed in state- and
regional-level meets for the next 6 years, retiring from competition
in 1988. For the next 10 years Rip announced most of the
powerlifting meets in North Texas, including the 1995 APF
Nationals in Dallas. He retired from powerlifting altogether in 1997,
to focus more on Olympic weightlifting.

Rip acquired a solid background
in coaching the Olympic lifts as a
result of his coach, Bill Starr,
using them in his powerlifting
training. Further experience with
the Olympic lifts came with
exposure to the coaching of
Tommy Suggs, Jim Moser, Dr. Lon Kilgore, Angel Spassov, Istvan
Javorek, Harvey Newton, Mike Conroy, John Thrush, and many

weightlifting coach, to the Olympic Solidarity course at the OTC in
2000. He taught both the USAW Club Coach course and the Sports
Performance Coach course with Dr. Kilgore from 1999 through 2005.
Rip served as the president of the North Texas Local Weightlifting
Committee of USAW from 2004-2011. He coached and participated
in the coaching of James Moser, Glenn Pendlay, Dr. Kilgore, Josh
Wells (Junior World Team 2004) most of the national and
international-level athletes on the Wichita Falls Weightlifting team,
