DIY Strongman Equipment/Workouts 

When industrial civilization collapses Alan will still be in business.

I wish I had an Untamed Strength gym where I live.

I live for these DIY and garage gym set ups

Never thought I'd be so impressed with a chain looped through a weight plate, but here I am.

This man knows the struggle of opening a gym and is sharing the secrets to us other strongman. You could say he’s running himself of business. But he’s helping others that can’t go to his gym

These Farmers Walks handles got to be the best idea.

Alan makes the best videos I've pick up alot from watching him. Keep up the good work Alan your really good at what you do.

This proves that it's not always about the gym or the equipment, but what YOU (or the trainer) can do with what you got. I love power-rows but cannot afford my own sled/plates right now so tire/tow straps will do! Thank you Alan!!

Thanks for the video, Alan! I just made an an axle bar out of pipe like you suggested, and it works great. I filled a 7 foot section of 1.5 inch galvanized steel pipe with concrete and it ended up weighing just under 35 lbs.

It's great to see some more strong man training videos. Keep up the great work Alan.

This deserve be a serie! I LOVE THE IDEA

Awesome video man, i'm in the process of making the equipment for my boot camp now! Tyres, sandbags and chains are my best friend so far!

We need more of these types of videos, great work!

Great stuff Thrall! I've been lifting natural rocks in our fields since I was a kid. It's a great feeling but not as easy as you may think.

First video I've seen and im sold. That intro was metal af 🔥🤘

Just found your channel as I am really getting in to strongman. I want to make a lot of my own equipment as I really want to compete in some form of strong man and you have helped give me loads of ideas mate. Brilliant channel, keep it up!

Nice variation!! Improvise Addapt Overcome. Everything creative work fine, excellent DIY functional training! Great Alan... Train untamed

One of the best videos so far! Thank you so much!

Awesome and helpful video as always. Keep it up Alan!

I'm excited to try some of these out, thanks for sharing!

Attending my first strongman comp next month! This video was clutch

Dude thank you for the genius ideas. Especially with the pulls on the tire. I just moved up on top of a mountain in Costa Rica and I am limited here. No gym nearby about an hour away

Thanks I have been using some of those but this gives me more tools to work with 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

really like the way you edited this with the pauses and stuff very cool

Nice short video man love your stuff, I need to lean out might smash a few of these in between rest days

Perfect for what I'm looking for man thanks a lot. I dont know of any strongman training by me and I'm looking to get into the sport since power lifting is kind of boring me after 10 years

Great post again Alan! Thankfully I’ve got access to a fully equipped CrossFit/Strongman gym. But still I got some ideas for my home gym, cause well... sometimes I don’t want to leave house haha

Some of the stuff you showed is so helpful thank you so much

Genius!!! Thank you for the ideas sir. Five stars!!!!! *****

Thank you Alan, this is extremely helpful

I love farmers carries, my gym does not have farmers carries implements, so I made my own watching this video, great idea 💡

Good stuff Mr. Thrall!

Alot of great tips and ideas 💡 👌 👍

Yup, starting to assemble mine. Was lifting rocks yesterday and carrying concrete blocks. Getting me a big tire

Very helpful, thank you Alan.. i love that ending thou

I use the 35 pounders sometimes. I'm ashamed of myself now

amazing video, good job allan

The Great Alan 👍👍👍💪💪💪 I like the end of the video 😜

I made farmers walk handles from an iron profile they use in construction. I had them cut to around 1 and a half meter and welded handles on them aswell as 2 small 50mm towers to fit plates. Best farmer walk handles I've ever used and it cost me next to nothing.

Great video i am going to test out some of these ideas

Awesome video!!!!

Congratulations on 700k

Such an awesome vid! ive been looking for a gym in san jose with strongman equipment that isnt too pricey

Thanks for the farmers tips

Got alot from this!, nicely done!

Cool video again!

You got a thumbs up for the surprise ending

Great idea with the chain handle... I think I already have all that stuff... Last night I got a nice loader tire for $40 and it fits perfectly in the back of my pickup. The problem is, I can't get a decent grip on it to load it into the back of the truck. I'm thinking that if I can get a decent chain handle on it, I can deadlift it just enough to shove it in by myself...

Great videos

awesome video!

Hey!! I use 35’s. I have a couple sets of em, and only one set of 45’s at home. They still add up nicely for dead’s and squats and bench

I'm an arm wrestling athlete I think strong man workouts will give a serious amount of strength.which is the important thing in our sport, anyway Best video, I'm starting these workouts in few days,, thanks mnh for such useful info, thank you very much❤️❤️👍🇮🇳

Happy Thanksgiving!!

Bro your awesome!

Awesome!

The chain for farmer walk is something I want to try

Really like the video! Always want to do more strong man but I dont have any goods gyms near me.

I'm 60. I lift weights as a, hmmm, Strengthbuilder, I do like compound bb exercises, since my 16s. Man, you changed my approach to everything I know of the Iron World. In a matter of fact... you're a hero to me. Besides, you're funny as fuck... and have a wonderful music taste. Greetings from Brazil/RJ/Rio de Janeiro/Copacabana.

Nice one!

I wish I could tryout atlas stones, but no gym around here has them. Living in the city without a truck or anything makes getting a sizable natural stone kind of hard as well. I do have a 124 lbs Monster Kettlebell that I occasionally lift without the handle yet feel like its smaller size changes the lift a bit as it's more cupping with the hands then wrapping with the arms to make use of the back muscles more. Plus, being a sphere that naturally wants to roll, purposely avoiding the handle so that it won't "help" often makes it even more awkward.

Yeah I met Zach Even Esh at the UnderArmor training facility in Baltimore when he did a seminar in Baltimore!He was a cool guy!Oh yeah BTW if you aint got a Log you can Log Clean/Press with a Keg;just have it sit flat on the ground and grab it like you would a Log Bar!

Excellent video but 35lb plates come in very handy for T-bar rows when you just have a landmine to use, they give a better range of motion but you knew that already.

Hell yea good for military units that for whatever reason just can't afford anything lol, thanks man good video

An old video but still... - if you looking for strong cheap/free straps for anything, get a fire hose. Your local fire department will probably give you one for free. These hoses come in 25-50 meters (~82-165 feet), you can make endless things from it. I got one 50 meters hose and it was enough to make pulling straps, gymnastic rings straps, belt for weighted dips, a couple of adjustable add-on resistance weights for bar (instead of chains), and I still have left overs. I saw one guy making a CrossFit battle rope from this hose and other use it to make bags, wallets and whatever.

fuck yes thank you so much sir Alan.loved the framers walk idea thats my ego liftin crap everyone gotta have one.never thought that thanks much. love from texas👊🇺🇸

I am doing the Starting Strength novice progression Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Would I be messing things up by throwing in some of these conditioning exercised on Tuesdays and Thursdays?

Whatever happened to the untamed special series? I loved those insights into exercise variations :)

Man I loved that show back in the day “American Gladiator “

The farmers implements could be something to throw in the gym-bag. How long should the pieces of chain be I wonder?

Great video. What length of chain do you recommend for the DIY farmer carry? I have some plates and fat gripz and want to do the same, but I am unsure what the right length to buy is. Thank you.

shiittt!!! im getting idea now! thx!!

Good idea.

Thank you, I love the sport but as you mention the stuff gets expensive quick

Can you do a video on all your strong man equipment

Great tips! Unfortunately I have no access to your Untamed Strength and was looking to use my yard for my strongman workouts. I was looking at a piece of scaffolding tube to use as a barbell - 28mm (for starters and up to about 150kg load). Would this work or has anyone tried this at home?

all i want is for the girl at 0:30 to hold me and tell me everything will be ok

I found a few even cheaper options for my girlfriend. Axle bar: Get pipe insulation with 1 inch inner and 2 inch outer diameter. Wrap it with none slip tape at the points you grip, cut it open and wrap it around a normal barbell. It'll fall apart fairly quickly with an advanced male using it but it's sufficient for most strongwomen pressing. Rope pulls: Find someone strong and have them grip the rope facing the opposite direction. As you pull have them feed you the rope but applying a lot of resistance. Atlas stone: Buy air drying clay in bulk (works out a fraction of the price of buying a stone), form a ball out of it and wait for it to dry. Don't know how well it'll work for large stones but the 80lb stone I've made is holding together nicely (being careful not to drop it). Since it's a lower density than concrete and forms a larger stone for it's size should train the technique required for heavier stones.

Alan, have your Strongmanlifts suffered from all the Powerlifting you are doing lately? Like, less endurance for carrying events?

Thank you

4:37 Shifty Eyes haha... you "found" it, suuuuure

Thank you sir

Badass

How long of a chain should i get for farmer carries?

This should be a new series

Its such a pity its hard to find 50mm OD steel piping in Australia that isn't square, only 1.5m long, or 6.5m long. Everything else comes in round 2.5m lengths.

How long should the chain be for the Farmers Walk. 2m,1m, 1,5m?

Hey this is a serious request... Do a video about your beard care.

Hey if anybody knows where to find an untamed strength/train untamed lifting belt could you drop a link please? I thought he showed his once and said how to get one but I can't find the video

About the Axle bar, what if the sleeves are too big or small for the plate holes?

Someone can tell me, if a get a 2 inch pipe, will it fit on any olympic plates?

Can someone please help me find out which blue adidas shoes Alan wears? For some reason I can’t find them

Damm bro i r full of cool ideas.

Ive been thinking about strongman, and being from the Granite State, we have plenty of rocks lying around.

Awesome video man, especially the advice about how to do the handles for the farmers carrys. I'm starting up my own Strength & Conditioning, Strongman style boot camp - filming a video series of the whole process, just posted a video on making sandbags with handles. If anyone is thinking about doing the same, check it out!

I use the 30lb weights to curl in the squat rack

I use 35 pound plates. They help keep my heavy bag on the ground while I’m destroying it.

Mike Thrall, sick pack beards.

I love you alan.

Those legs💥

Brasil !!!
