Mark RippetoeOrganization Wichita Falls Athletic Club, CrossFit Notable works Starting Strength: Basic Barbell Training, Practical Programming for Strength Training Political party libertarian Website wfac.org [1] Mark Rippetoe is a national-level, American strength training coach and author.[1] He is one of the few strength athletics authorities to publish both peer-reviewed articles[2][3][4]as well as books for the lay population.[5][6] Unlike most strength and conditioning academics, he is a former competitive powerlifter.[7]
He was a part of the charter group of individuals to receive the CSCS (Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist) certification when it was first offered by the NSCA (National Strength and Conditioning Association) in 1985. He currently holds the record for the longest, continual CSCS certification.[7][8]
He is associated with CrossFit, authoring several training articles for the CrossFit Journal as well as designing its Basic Barbell Certification course and standards.[9][10] He is also known for his particularly brash teaching style, humor, and libertarian leanings.[11]
