SBD Day with New Avancus 1.5 - Train With Me 

Thanks for the shout out!!! Blue steel flavor claps every time I drink it.

Liking the video log format. It’s like character development in a movie haha. Get to see the training and the know the person behind the workout.

Perfect motivation for my first full power meet next week. Keep killin man

Pumping out content! 🤗

What a great surprise at the very end of the video!

Nice job!

I know you're busy but a training vlog once every three weeks or month would be sweet. Do you plan on doing a comparison video comparing the talos and avancus? I think it's time I upgrade finally from the Reebok TR.

Definitely getting a pair!

Training videos 💪🏼🙏

But to those of us that stuck around, we wish the show wasn't over

R.I.P DIO, great band!

Really enjoying your workout videos and explaining your thought process. Excluding periods where you’re training for a competition, how often do you do barbell squats. Also, how many sets do you typically do when you barbell squat? Thanks!

These vids are great. I also feel as though there are Easter eggs everywhere in your videos. Was that a custom end cap on that squat bar? Reppin the bad buy shirt as well!

Thanks for the shoutout brother, unfortunately I have the same issue with the Semper Fi bar

I went with the tolos archetype 2.0, simply bc they had my size. But im excited to use them.

Nice video! I like when you talk about the bars you use. What deadlift bar did you use here?

Great session considering you’re still recovering! Mr. Brandon’s neighborhood 😂

Hey Brandon, are you technically a full time RU-vidr or have a day job and work for home? If so, curious what industry you work in. You inspired us to get our home gym (copied your aesthetic with the white and black). I myself work from home/hybrid (we go in the office 2x week) in the Corporate Real Estate industry and working on my at home workout times. I plan to do some morning workouts, maybe a cardio session over lunch and a heavier lift session at night. Open to insight on how you plan days while working at home!

I feel like I'm falling off a cliff when I squat down to hit the box but I know the box is there so on each rep I just go ahead and sit down, rock back, then rock forward and stand up. Some people call this a rocking box squat but it is the original and real box squat. Just touching your tail and standing up is not the real box squat, it is a modified one. Maybe you know this but most people get it wrong. In other words, one is supposed to rock back when doing a real box squat because this breaks up the concentric and eccentric chain and one has to overcome inertia to complete the rep just like pin presses with a one second pause on the pin. Without the rock back on box squats, one uses the stretch reflex and momentum to stand back up and that is not helping at all to get s person strong. I'm sure you already know what I'm saying but there might be one person that reads this comment and he/she will learn something that did not know or that they had wrong ad there are a lot of coaches and fitness people who don't really know much but they act like they know all. You are not one of those, you are one of the knowledgable ones and a good guy. There is so much false information on the internet it is sickening. We need more channels like yours Take Care

Curious… do you use the “wood inserts” that rogue offers with their platform? If so do they make a difference?

How much room do you leave between the walls and the DL platform? seems like loading the plates on the side of your stars might be difficult?

There are definitely influences and websites reviewing shoes they never wore 😅😅😅

what's the orange paint/tape on the bar for? doesn't look like ti's centered

Caught in a Mosh!!!!!

what is that device u use to check speed on deadlifts? if so can you link me it? been looking for something to test the speed of my liftts

Remember to like while the ad still going.

I got sidetracked seeing those hammys

Who makes that adjustable box you were squatting on?

What brand is your power rack? Did you go from Rep Fitness back to Rogue?

Would I get away with half a size up ? I’m a size 8 uk the size down is 7.5 and size up is 8.5 so just wondering

What's the perceived benefit of a pump pre workout for a powerlifter?

Blue steel you say…I’m sure that’s a 80’s (high brow) movie.

The whole gym is awesome but that dumbbell rack is something else. Probably worth about as much as my house

Is there a code for tolos ?

LFG ANTHRAX ALL THE WAY!!! lml,

Pull up old Westside videos and take a look where Louie talks about box squats

I've never tried box squats but I feel like I would sit on my nuts immediately.

That’s a killer Razor shirt. Easily gave you +5 strength

Wait, do you watch youtube videos on a peloton, or is that some other bike? Or did I misunderstand altogether?

I noticed you release your valsalva during the downward half of the movement. I can hear the audible exhale in the audio. If you don’t want to eff up your back, you should maintain that valsalva completely until the weight is back on the ground.

The bar is 55lb I'm guessing?

I DL in socks only. Do you think this is a poor choice?

Im trying to buy Avancus shoes for half a year now. Im done, they are never available and directly sold out. you cant even pre-order them. ffs these are training shoes and not some premium sneakers... I for sure am not gonna check every day on the website. Im waiting on the new TYR flat shoe snow. They respect my time and patience as a customer.
