When you take time off, Brian, and feel sore like you went heavy the day or two before, it's called compound rebuild. Inner muscle fibers getting a chance to rest and recover. A couple times a year I take two weeks off (once in winter) and it helps
2:25-2:50 You ok there Alan? You look like you need a hug but would hurt me if I tried🥺🤗🤕 23:45 "As a grown man" 💪😎🎸 P.S. I love seeing you two icons together in these videos. You both have done wonders for my training and I will be honored to one day shake both your hands... Thank you Alan. And thank you Brian
2 years ago I had my 4th child, and struggled to find training that would work until recently. I do exactly what Alan was talking about, 4 movements, 2 supersets, and I even time things whether it's every 2nd minute or whatever. My workouts aren't anymore than 40 minutes now and I can actually get it in. It's not ideal, but that's life, and to be honest, my conditioning is probably better from not sitting around so long or taking a long time to set up my next movement.
I loved the question about the band. My favourite of all time was playing Black Hole Sun in your gym while you were talking good shit. Please keep doing this, guys.
David Hughes yea who else would you do it for? Lol. Saying you do it for yourself encompasses literally everything. You do almost anything ever for yourself. You protect other people because you love them and you think it’s the right thing to do so you’re still kind of doing it for yourself. Not in a self-centered inmoral way.
Hey alan, ive been watching your videos for about a year or so and ive learned so much. I am competing in my first powerlifint meet at the end of the year hopefully and i just wanted to say thank you for doing what you to. train untamed.
Thanks for getting to my question. I do empty bar, plate, quarter then get to my working sets. I've always considered that warming up. I was basically asking if long term there were benefits to rolling, stretching and such. Which you answered. Thanks again
I need that Untamed Strength shirt, because I want my friends to wonder what metal band it is......That's how metal that shirt is. I also have to admit I have a bit of a man crush on Brian after hearing his story about dealing with parasites for like 12 years on Mark Bell's podcast, and he taught those boys the clean & press.
My daughter is 20 months and I was back in the gym at 8 weeks. My SO is gone 80 plus hours a week. It's totally doable. I was a trauma nurse before baby so maybe I just know worse but its not that bad. If we had a super rough night I would skip a workout. Not the end of the world. The hardest thing is organizing time to be able to go to my PL gym without daycare. I have two memberships now just in case I can't get child care and need to take her to my other gym with daycare.
This is off topic of your video, but I went to your website to order a premium pullover hoodie and I found that there is no 3XL. Is there by any chance going to be a 3XL option available? Thank you Adam your videos are great!
Alan, I’m training on powerlifting routine 3 times per week for 8 months and I was having pretty solid results. I was varying between squats and deadlifts as main movements, but 3 weeks ago when I was warming up with 60kg deadlifts I’ve felt a pain that goes from lower back to right foot. Going to doctor, he asked for MRI and I see that I have a DDD and according to him is a pre hernia. I know that I maybe messed up on posture and load (150kg for 3 reps usually), but now I’m treating it and he asked me to not do deadlifts to avoid this. I’m not confident that I can’t do it at all, just until I heal myself. Question about that: Do I really have to stop deadlifting for good or do you think that always use a weightlifting belt and/or associate with a special program for core and lumbar? Can you do a video to help on it? Thanks mate
Marcus Mota I don’t know how much ut hurt exactly but last friday (3 days ago) I had something similar. Was warming up and at a relativly low weight I felt a sharp pain in my lower back that spread down trough my legs. Left the gum thinking I would have to do rehab for a long time. But I did as Alan says in his ”I hurt my back what to do” vid and today did heavy deadlifts with 0 pain other than feeling a bit tight in my back.
Sounds like sciatic nerve pain. Look up “Stuart McGill big 3” and do those exercises (bird dog, modified curl up, and side plank). I had the same pain shooting down the back of both my legs and doing the big 3 every day for 2 weeks mitigated to nearly eliminated the pain. I got the pain from squatting 430 but now I’m pain free compared to limping when walking from such pain. Best of luck
Highly recommend you look into “the gift of injury” book by Stuart McGill and Brian Carroll. I can’t speak to the degenerative discs, but Brian Carroll’s spine was so messed up yet he was able to heal using McGill’s advice and expertise and avoid surgery. The book is absolutely amazing and I can’t recommend it enough
Do you happen to do reviews for beard products or body washes? I'm a new small business but, been watching your channel for over a year and part of the reason I went into business myself. Seeing you make your own and love your sense of humor. Would love to see what you think in a review of my products.
Would like,to,ask Alan how he likes his matched weights. I personally think the difference between modern day rubber weights are better then the old iron weights. But then I don’t throw around the gorilla weights you do that it would probably make a difference
Does anyone have a recommendation for a good forum or similar site for strength training? Only recently got into strength training consistently, and alan thralls advice and videos has been fantastic. started with starting strength, and still basically doing that, but with 5 work sets now, and enjoying the newbie gains as they come thick and fast. I'm primarily an endurance athlete and trying to parse my way through all the clear as mud research on strength training's effects on endurance training, and how to train concurrently effectively, and it'd be nice to have a place to talk to people about strength training.
I have a bet- can I pull 200kg by xmas. Currently on 160kg and have been training 4 months-loads of sport in past. I'm 92kg relatively lean- 6'2. Currently doing DL 3-5 reps 4-5 sets once a week. Squating once or twice a week and benching once a week. Eating and sleeping well. I love the idea of gtg with DL- 1 or 2 pulls a 3- 5 times a day 5 days a week at 90% though keep hearing itll lead to injury?
I know somatotypes don’t exist, but if They did, what body type would you guys say Alan is? I have a very similar frame to Alan, and dan bilzerian (wider looking body)
If you know they don't exist what's the merit in knowing what it might be, you look the way you look, if you're happy with it keep doing what you're doing if you're not happy do something different...
Armoured Outlaw I’m talking about the bone structure, not body fat wise. I believe somatotypes do exist “bone structure” wise, but not “body fat wise”, because everybody can control how much body fat they have
Can we get together a gofundme page for a 55 gallon drum of throat lozenges for Brian? I don't know if that guy is inhaling cigars or gargling with glass or what.
Brian needs to go to a speech therapist or something because every video I've seen him in his voice is broken. He's gonna get vocal nodes if he keeps it up
PcCAvioN if you’ve seen his channel he talks about all the different health issues he’s had. He’s only puking about half as much as he was and his voice is a lot better than 6 months ago.
