As an autistic person, i can personally say that lifting heavy things has done so much for me mentally. I might not always have the energy to go to the gym and deal with other people, but when i go i always come home a happier person. Thanks for always giving me that extra push with your videos Brian, it truly means a lot :)

Bag OVER Shoulder has quickly become one of my favorite go-to exercises for general strength and explosiveness, and even for conditioning work (doing it EMOM with lighter weights). I've heard a lot of good things about suitcase/1-arm carries to help with back pain and tightness, so I'll definitely be adding those as well. Keep up the great content, boss.

Hey Brian, first of all thankyou so much for all the quality content and guidance. My question is pretty simple. I'm looking to get my hands on some sandbags that I can use for training but I have no idea where to start. I'm around 150lbs so I would likely be looking for one close to my body weight. I primarily train for the Spartan obstacle races but I am becoming more and more interested in strongman with every video I watch. Thanks again for everything you do for your viewers!

Brian, just bought a Ludus Imperium 200# sandbag and I am so excited about it because my gym sucks. Anything strongman work is in my backyard. On the sandbag over shoulder, is that like a stone to shoulder in the way you start and you then just go all the way over, or is the set up different? I will echo another post I saw in the comments; I would love just a complete Sandbag video. Thank you for all you share with us!

Brian. When I receive safety and lifting training at work, one best practice is not to carry a heavy load on one side only. We are cautioned to balance loads, especially heavy ones, in order to prevent back injury. Now, I really really like your emphasis on farmer’s walk. But, just don’t ask me to unbalance a heavy load please. Keep up the good work.

@@chrishummer1880 isn't an RDL basically a really controlled DL eccentric for reps? I'm not saying to do 3-5 second eccentrics, just that you should maintain your brace and not just drop the bar.

Awesome video Brian! Each one you makes gets better. One question for the step up: Do you recommend keeping the stepping platform at a height that keeps your thigh above, at or below parallel. I’ve read that generally you want thigh above parallel but I’m curious as to what your take on it is. Thanks man!

@@BrianAlsruheOfficial Thanks, Brian! I've been doing a sandbag over shoulder for my deadlift warmup, but have now been told that we can't "toss" the sandbags at my gym. I'm really eager to just make my own and do some conditioning work at home instead. I'd love to see something about making a sandbag if you haven't done one already. I tried searching your videos and didn't find anything.
