How do I gain strength in the lower back/core?

I started Rippetoes, and progressed naturally with no problem. Once I...

I'm 6'2", and go down as far as possible, and have been since day one about 8 months ago. No problems with my back I don't think.

I'm doing Rippetoes, and have been for about 8 months.

When I go to do my dips, I can do like....10, 8, 7 with good form.

A while ago, I was doing 10, 10, 10 with good form no problem.

I was pretty much where you are when I started Rippetoe's program a few months ago. One of the reasons I didn't want to do that program was because it was "eat everything," and I was so close to a 6...

Well aesthetic-wise...I say bulk, but try to do it clean as best you can. I think guys look a lot better filling out their shirts than skinny guys with a six pack. It's not like you're going to pork...

I have been on the program for about 4 months, and have seen the steady increase in mass and max lifts. I just started adding in some arm accessory work at the end of my Rippetoe workout so I don't...

I had this same injury for the past 2 weeks. I am also on Rippetoe program, and think I was adding weight too fast. I didn't think I was doing anything wrong as I was still able to squat with good...

I am about 3 months into it I think...maybe 2?

I have not missed any reps...I'm just reeeeeally slow doing them when I bump the weight up.

This is a form question, but since I'm on the Rippetoe program, I'm posting it here since it will effect my programming.

This was the funniest thread I've read in a long time!

Mostly because the original poster is hysterical, and the other part is you guys thinking he is being serious.
