If you don´t mind I would really appreciate if you show your full warm-ups in the future videos! what exercises, mobility drills, stretching, exercises, sets, reps etc. all that stuff. Thank you very much!

[@NANA-lq5md]

I would like to see this as well.

Good to see you back in the game fella. I started Strongman aged 50 after many years of addiction, it’s never to late to find your inner strength 🙏🏼

[@joberthalib9951]

I have been “training” since 1984, when I left the farm and joined the Infantry. Now at 58 I still weigh the same I did at the end of basic (160ish) and I think I’m stronger. To be honest I have never trained (for strength) seriously. I have spent 38 years doing general conditioning. I started programmed barbell training 2 years ago and really enjoy it in addition to all the other work I do. My goals are life driven, like keeping up with my kids. While I never will be a monster, I follow you because your advice works and is scalable to my personal goals. But mostly I follow you because you are so damn welcoming, real and nonjudgmental.

[@grassman8684]

I'm 62 now. I've been training since 79. It's been off and on during those years more off than on. I'm really wanting to get back into it hard. I enjoy your channel and appreciate all you do.

[@Ethan-Relearning-Movement]

No doubt you can do it!

[@jonstevensmaplegrovefarms3754]

I was a farm kid on small dairy farm, carried 10k bales a year, worked as a sewer and water labor, and pile drive, wrestled a lot of concrete and iron. Never really lifted seriously, but have always enjoyed the sport of lifting and strongman.

[@MrWarmachine3]

Started training in 1967 for football. Got real serious when I went into the Marine Corps in 1976. Still powerlifting, bodybuilding, metabolic conditioning, with barbells, dumbbells, kettlebells and resistance bands besides body weight exercises (pushups, air squats and a host of others) we are looking at over 52 years training. I am now 70 yrs. old. and train every day except Sunday.

[@BrianAlsruheOfficial]

My man! I am proud to have you as part of the channel brother!

[@waaagh3203]

I haven't lifted hard in a decade. When I was lifting, I did about 6 years of serious lifting and competed in power lifting. Now, I just bought THE MINIMALIST PROGRAM! New father. 12 hour shifts. I went w/ the minimalist. I can't wait to get in the best shape of my life, and just maybe get my big lifts back, but even if I just get close to what I did before and be in better all around shape and more explosive, I'll be happy. Starting this week. Wish me luck!

[@BrianAlsruheOfficial]

I really appreciate the support brother and I hope the minimalist goes great for you! I also have a video for people with manual labor jobs where I give some tips that might be helpful for you

[@miamidolphinsfan]

My age comes into the equation. Earlier in life I was that skinny, shy dude, who was awkward, wore glasses, and was scared talking to girls...I was that guy you probably laughed at. My wife told me to get in the gym, so I did it by age 22 (yes I had a wife even though I had a hard time with girls not with her) but I trained as a powerlifter from age 38 to 42 and set all my (still today) 1 RM's...but fast forward & I am 62, and my focus is totally on living the best life I can at 62 yrs old. God bless you for your messages & motivation, it's much appreciated.

[@rossacord9645]

Training for about 20 years. Seriously for about 2 years. Shout out to Brian's custom programs - that was a wake up call. Glad you're feeling better man.

[@longlostkryptonian5797]

I’ve been training for almost 30 years but watching you makes me think I’ve never been seriously training.

[@JoeyJungleGym]

It's your fault my gym has been slowly transforming from gimmick weight toys to sandbags, chains, ropes and chalk covered everything. And it's amazing ! Keep doing you, plenty of us are watching and taking notes.

[@gojumanny]

Been training for about thirty years. Get serious for a while and then life happens. I always come back to it.

[@KalleSWBeck]

Yeah buddy! Getting after it

[@terranceweis5231]

I've "trained" for 15 years but only started to incorporate farmers walks, sandbag work, tire flips, sledgehammer work, yokes, sled push and pull this year after finding your channel. It's helped so much you have no idea. Thank you and keep doing what you're doing. Love the content

[@Ethan-Relearning-Movement]

Brian feeling like his best self and his upper back filling in have got to be directly related!

[@michaelkovalchek2022]

Lifting since 1992. Multiple seasons of rehab, rebuild, new goal, compete, repeat. Looking to be stronger in my late 40s than I ever was in my 30s or 20s.

[@ΑναστάσιοςΘεοδοσιάδης]

30 yo. Stepped into the gym when i was 15. Started seriously training at 22 when i joined the local olympic weightlifting team. Had to quit at 25 due to financial difficulties of the club and we had to shut it down (long story short), if i could i d still be doing that. I did go back to commerical gyms for a couple of years but i had to stop due to personal issues. At 29 (28?) in the middle of the pandemic i picked up sandbags for the 1st time, and thats how i found the channel, cause i had no idea how to pick up sandbags. Right now i am back at a commercial gym and trying to get my groove back. I do feel that i left stuff unfinished and i want to get better and stronger than ever before. I am more determined today than when i was at 22.

[@josephbasler216]

I'm 45, been training since I was a teenager; but have only been training seriously for the last year and a half ... maybe two years. And, incidentally, your free programs have benefited me enormously in this shift. So thank you

[@Feegle32]

Started lifting at 14, filled around with it through and after college, and, like you, started strongman at 34. I’m 47 now and just had the best contest of my life.

[@Stonewallwells]

I’m 37, this gives me hope! Haha!

[@bishopyeet6108]

Was going to golds regularly and seriously from age 24-26. Then switched jobs to over the road trucker and got PF membership. Switched to job where I’m home every day but training since then has been sporadic. Just joined a CrossFit gym here in Fredericksburg Va that has a strong man group about 2 weeks ago. Today is my first rest day since. Had a guy suggest your videos and I started the Linear progression program. It’s encouraging knowing you started strong man around 40. I’m 32 and really want to build my strength.

[@RobSimpson-BarbellsandBurpees]

It was great to see a full training video again. Took me back to 2017.

[@pelopida68]

Hi Brian, great to see you back! I'm 54, always trained a lot but started powerlifting and streetlifting just three years ago. Thanks to your videos, I'm now starting strongman. Keep training as hard as I can in my homemade gym!

[@richardpeterson4440]

3 years this August My older brother convinced me to compete in a local competition and I makes it really easy to keep track. I’ve had the gas pedal down ever since. Turns out I had a gift for strength sport and taste of early success turned into passion.

[@redeemed180]

I've been training for two years but seriously training for about a year. I would enjoy watching a deadlift video and event training video.

[@scottalderson4708]

Almost 16 years and almost 16 years. When I started I was serious. My brother used to hit me alot and push me around and belittling me, so I wanted to be bigger than him and kick his ass one day. I did and I kept going with it. I didn't get into strongman till four or five years ago. I started training for a strongman competition at that point, hurt my back for a fourth time since wrestling and decided to not do a strongman competition and just stick being healthy and fit but I still utilize strongman aspects

[@theredpilgrim3473]

I took training very seriously in my first year of lifting with a deadlift goal in mind, which I smashed and then continued until I burned myself out. I then took my training less seriously and am happy where I am. Not so much about numbers now, more about a healthy mind and body and if my numbers go up and I feel good in a t-shirt then that’s a bonus.

[@joecowan3719]

Awesome video Brian, so happy to hear you got that spark back in your training! I played soccer until college, put on the Freshman 80 and did not start lifting until 37 after losing 90lbs with pure cardio and calorie restriction. 41 now, and I have added a lot of muscle over the past 4 years from weight training. It is great to feel good and to feel strong!

[@chrisscena9509]

Lifting since high school (47 now), a little power lifting in my late twenties, didn't get serious about power/strongman training until four years ago. I have competed in three strongman comps over the last few years and had a blast.

[@joshuacarroll7046]

started with Stronglifts 5x5 in high school, 30 years old and have gotten serious in the last couple years, did my first novice strongman competition last summer and placed second in my first open lightweight comp in march; such a great sport with so much to challenge me

[@andyharrison2424]

I’m 35, been into training since I went to the gym with my dad when I was less than 10, thought I was taking it seriously since I was 16 but got a coach a few years ago and realised I hadn’t been until then, so interested in it over 25 years but only training seriously about 3 years!

[@beige-pill]

Great video Brian! I've been training for about 8 years total, 3 of those being serious. I've had a lot of injuries and setbacks though, but am finally feeling like things are coming together lately. Definitely agree on the weighted carries! Made my bench increase a lot from the upper back size

[@jakelong781]

First off. out of all the strongmen out there, you were the one to light the fire under my ass and do strongman training. I trained seriously for about 2 years and got strong. March 2021 I got surgery on my left knee (meniscus tear) work related injury. And after losing all that strength, I can’t find that fire again. I still work out. But with the pain I get in my knee weather it’s sitting to long, working to hard, or soreness from squatting or DL. I’m worried that I may re injure it and so I think that plays into the loss of fire.. I’m glad your back buddy. Always love the videos!

[@diegothunderhawk6823]

Training for 30 years, serious training for strength for about 12. First powerlifting meet when I was 40, first strongman competition when I was 45. Definitely gonna try the weighted carries going forward. Thank you, Brian. 🙂👍

[@andyherkenhoff4185]

20 years total training I got very serious in sports specific training about 12 years ago but only lasted about 4 years now it’s been 3 years with strength as the only focus and it been serious thanks to you Brian

[@ramerysroyals]

I’ve been training for 15 years, been taking serious to be honest about a year. Really stop the bro splits and just going thru the motions and really applying myself with goals and programming.

[@dannyh73]

We definitely more of these! I look forward to your next program, speaking from experience, anyone, everyone should buy one because they’re gold.

[@jamok3]

I'm 40 and have been training off and on since age 17. I didn't get consistent until age 23; however, for the past 17 years I think I only got in maybe 5 quality years of training due to so many mistakes made. I wish I found your channel sooner than I did.

[@weslinsley8899]

Been training for a little over 20 years. First 10 was really based around my boxing and mma. Didn’t start really hitting the weights until about 2010. Last 3 years has been heavy weightlifting and strongman. Totally changed everything for me. My boxing and jitz has improved overall. Especially my grip strength when we roll. A buddy and I just finished your power builder strongman, and we loved it. My wife just finished the mass builder and her numbers went up across the board. More importantly I’ve watched her closely. Her form is much better and much more efficient. Can’t wait to see the farmer carry program. We did farmer and yoke mixed with heavy triple back squats today! Thanks for the content! Definitely getting in some sandbags tomorrow

[@buckybryan550]

Weights 10+ years. Seriously only the last 3. Most of which has been using your programs. Fantastic vid. Keep them coming as it they are always motivating and keep me pumped to train. New programs on the horizon?!?! Hell ya, sign me up! Side note, your voice is sounding a whole lot better. I hope that means your health issues are almost a thing of the past.

[@rufuslumpkin4112]

This is the best thing to happen to KZbin since 2020! So glad to have training footage back.

[@prestonshirley9864]

I started strength training with Charles Atlas' Dynamic Tension at around 12 years old. I worked out all through high school, college, and on. I did mostly bodybuilding training. Four and a half years ago at 39 I started training for powerlifting and competed in my first sanctioned meet at 40. I compete in the Southern Powerlifting Federation.

[@ministerofust]

Your buddy Jijumufu is getting ridiculously big. And I have been training since 2003. Seriously, since 2010.

I've been training for about 9 years. I was serious for about 5 and I've had a couple injuries/surgeries cause some struggles the last 2 years. Now I'm trying to kick myself in the butt and get back serious at it.

[@scottallan1668]

I'm 38, first walked into a commercial gym when I was about 21 and just mucked about with weights, thinking what i was doing was correct......then I walked into a "strongman/woman" gym when I was 37 and it blew my mind!!! I'm now preparing for my 2nd novice comp 😁🤘

[@baldpastorrob]

33 years training 2 years focused training due to strongman I’m 47, started strongman @46 with back, joint and nerve issues. Feel better than I have in years.

[@rockettt7]

YES! Loved the video Brian! So stoked for you getting that feeling back! To answer your question… we’ll I’m 57 and managed a mom and pop gym for 10 yrs outta college. So I guess that means I’ve been training in some capacity for some 30 years. Serious training? Well that was when I was doing triathlons on and off from 25 to 40. Since then, training has been on and off with less focus as I battle a bad back and a hip replacement over the last 10+ yrs (hip 2 yrs ago). Anyway let me wrap this so I’m not rambling… like I noted after your last video, your channel has really got me back into training and specifically trying some strongman stuff. I’d even like to maybe target a comp in 2024 - just for the fun of trying! Thx again Brian. I look forward to the coming videos and the next plan that has carries each workout! Peace! Until now!

[@dustythejones]

I’ve been training since 1998 and serious about strength training since 2010. I always wanted to be strong, but didn’t learn how to train for strength until 2010 when I was 27. I did my first Strongman show in 2013.

[@LatimusChadimus]

34? I turned 33 today haha your videos have helped and entertained me for years. I started some weights&calisthenics as a teen, then got into powerlifting, weightlifting and some strongman implements as of recent years. I still do calisthenics, run 1-2 times a week and yoga + KOT every night. I do miss kickboxing. Nothing local lol

[@ossian1977]

the King is back! To answer your question, I can't say that I have ever actually started training "seriously" (I am the same age as you) but I can say that about 2.5 years ago (thanks covid) I finally went for it and started historical fencing (longsword) and I feel committed to it, changing the training outlook and goals to become a better longsword fencer overall

[@artofnick]

This makes me so happy that you're feeling better. Great show

[@AbuMaxime]

I started training with barbells and compound lifts at age 49 in 2018. Covid 19 and closed gyms took out a good one year of training. Total, I'm at 3 full years of serious training. My DL is at 330 lbs for 5 reps, squats at 275 lbs for 5. My upper body lifts suck in comparison 😅, 184 lbs for bench, and 127 lbs for OHP... I'm now 53 and still training.

[@samivey8416]

Welcome back man! It will come to those who work for it

[@Strongman_Hatschi]

Doing weighted carries before the main lifts is truly amazing, like you said you wake up the nervous system and the weights feel so much lighter 💪😊 you mentioned this a few years ago in one of your videos… so I tried it and it was PR time for many lifts, thanks for your great work and the amazing tips you give

[@davecap6193]

Hey Brian. I expect you know this. You have a unique brand and personality that resonates with the audience. I consume a lot of content and have seen few that are able to bring it all together in a meaningful and impactful manner. Appreciate the time and effort that you put into making this content.

[@scants2874]

Started in ‘86 at 16 yrs old but it was unfocused as there was so little info available back then (“deadlifts are bad for your back”). Started focussed training when I started competing in bodybuilding at 39, shifted to PL comps at 43, shifted to strongman at 47 (my main focus now), and did my first Highland games at 49…still trucking along at 52…

[@tarikogic9313]

Great video. I've been training for about 10 years where 1 year is pretty serious. It took me a long time to be able to discern good training advice from a bad one. The one to blame is the bodybuilding/aesthetics world. They've done a huge disservice to people.

[@Idontdoitboii]

Glad to have you back Brian!

[@PINKSPIT401]

I started going to the gym in 2017 but I didn’t start seriously training until late 2020 when I started my first program with you.

[@strongmansully8861]

Heck ya, he's back!!!

[@SFRB1187]

Grest to see you getting after it again Brian, looking forward to the EDC program

[@CoachJohnSimmons]

I would say my training has been split up into 3 phases. 25 years total, I started at 12yo for football all the way up to 23yo after Arena football, but the focus was always on sports and using strength training to help that. Then I started coaching as a strength coach and competing in Weightlifting for the next 10 years, but most of that time was experimenting training styles on myself and weightlifting was just a hobby that I would do if there were any local meets. The last 4 years I have been all-in on strongman and Highland games. It's fun looking back at my own training evolution, if you will, knowing that at 37yo I'm still finding ways to challenge myself and get stronger. Great question man!

[@indianronin01]

Great training brother! I will never forget the day I decided to make changes in my life (Feb 19 2018). My cousin got diagnosed with diabetes. That got me worried about my own health (I was 230lbs at 5'8 mostly fat). I stepped into commercial gym on Feb 19 2018. But, Started serious weight when I came across your dark horse program on KZbin (I believe around Sep / Oct 2019). I guess 4+ years of training and 3+ years of serious training.

[@Lion-qi8ej]

Brian - awesome stuff! Been training with weights coming up on 44 years. So glad I never stopped. Sandbags are new thanks to you. I saw a 10-15% jump in my DL and squat from them. Still adjusting but breathing and bracing has been a game changer for me as well. Thanks for inspiring. It inspires us to inspire others. We need to strengthen the American body and spirit collectively. It starts with each of us. Thank you. Oh - Die Empty T- where can I get one lol. Awesome shirt!

Awesome video! I've been training for 35 years, seriously for about 15 of those.

[@dyl1818]

Sandbag work and weighted carries are the answer! I’ve been working on these two things now for a while, pretty consistently, and am seeing huge results in explosiveness, grip, and back strength. Deads are my weakness but getting better from all this work. What a beast going up to 600+ lbs like that 👏

[@JacobPuthoff]

Brian never struck me as a longboard type of guy.

[@comically_large_chungus]

I started training pretty soon after I turned 18 I got more serious about getting stronger the summer after

[@BigMo0212]

Been training for 21 years. The last two years have been my best training years and much thanks to you. Most of my gains have been because of the heavy ass farmers carry! Such an underrated exercise.

[@albe23]

Training for only about 2 years now broken up with unrelated injuries and newfound contact dermatitis that ruined my hands for a bit. Seems like I would work up to a level and get pushed back down again. Then work back up and something different takes me out for a bit. Built a home gym during that time and doing what I can to be far more serious about it.

[@slowcar68]

I’ve been training for about 7 years, it got serious when I joined neversate 3 years ago. between the coaching, programming and atmosphere I added 100lbs. To my squat and deadlift in 10 months…

[@traviswiuff2739]

Love to see the training videos again!!! Thank you!!

[@toocool2bblue]

Nice to see you back

[@Stonewallwells]

As an advocate of daily weighted carries, I cant wait to see the new program. Dan John’s stuff got me doing some sort of loaded carry every training day and I really enjoyed it. Also really happy to see some longer training videos, the kind of motivation I need. Cheers Brian! Edit: I’ve been “training” since I was in highschool but I didn’t do my first powerlifting meet until I was 27-28. I’ve been serious on and off for the last 12 or so years.

[@vanessacintron8884]

To be honest since I've been on deployment I've been serious training and I'm 34 now. However I started lifting when I was 24. Since I've training seriously my lifts and my strength has impressively increased since January of this year. I feel like I wasted years of garbage training. So hopefully in 10 years I can see an incredible change. But I feel like I'm in the right track finally.

[@stu2729]

Love these type of videos!! I´ve been training for about 11 years and seriously for like 5, with a 1,5 year pause, with me only doing bodyweight exercises (during the whole covid thing)

[@nukethrower2923]

Another great video, Brian. Thanks for all you do. I'm 51 now and have been training since I began high school wrestling in 1985. However, the serious weight training--when I first adopted 5/3/1 and similar programs--started in 2015-16. Strangely, I'm now stronger all around than I was during my teenage years. If only my younger self knew I what I know now.

[@jonathanrichter3184]

Well I’m only 14, so I’d say I’ve been training since I was nine, with really no progress. But seriously? Uhh… probably about a month. Which definitely shows. I can only squat 135lb(61.2kg) Bench 140lb(63.5kg) Deadlift, conventional, I haven’t tried sumo yet, 225lb(102kg) But I don’t know if I would count it, it was a real grinder of a rep. And finally, overhead press 100lb. Maybe my view is just distorted by social media?

[@dial0562]

You are still young and have many many years ahead of you. This is my opinion if I was still 14 and in your shoes. I wouldn't worry about any 1 rep maxes right now and only focus on technique of the main lifts and conditioning work.

[@chrisc7764]

Social media may or may not be distorting your view. Sure you're not moving the weight of an elite athlete but I'd say those are plenty respectable numbers for your age! Since you're following Brian it appears you have good taste in influencers so you're on the right track

[@NZGEEK]

Nice to see your training vids again 🙂

[@sebastianbechpetersen858]

Great to see you doing good. Thanks for the video.

[@glend308]

Glad your back at it

[@pauldevine3076]

So I've been training very on and off since freshman year of high school, so about 8 years but I've only become serious within the last year, realized I need to just stay consistent rather than just working out for 6 months then stopping for however long.

[@jtraten]

Glad to see you making training videos again! I've been training for 17 years. The training seriously part is hard to answer. I started lifting weights when I was wrestling in high school so I'd consider that serious. I then continued during my military service (also serious I guess) I competed in powerlifting for a little afterwards and did two strongman competitions. And now I train to be the best LEO I can be. So I guess I've been training "seriously" my whole life.

[@SentientVoyager]

It's great the training videos are making a comeback! I've been training for 15 years and seriously training (for Strongman) for about 5 years.

[@kevinboueri1051]

Of all fitness youtube's workouts, your training is insightful and quite fascinating to watch

[@LatimusChadimus]

At least you good morning low bar, as y'all should. Seated cable good mornings are phenomenal for the groin&glutes btw

[@iansamuelson3666]

Brian taught me how to breath and brace.

[@geoffkaminski]

Great video Brian. Started lifting in 8th grade with the 15lb training bar I had in my basement. Only did curls and floor bench. My Junior year of HS is when I started training seriously, so about 3.5 years now as a college sophomore

[@Raptor44256]

Always great to look on my notifications and see one of your videos. Gets me motivated to work out

[@bleaderraton]

Hey Brian, nice to see a full training video, those always give some more motivation :) 5 years of training / 3 years seriously. I've been lifting for 5 years, with 0 sport background starting at 34yo, fully at home by myself, then bought barbell and a rack with safeties about 3 years ago.
