Alan Thrall's First Olympic Weightlifting Meet

[@NorwichGrad97]

Much respect to you Alan. Powerlifter, strongman, and now you have earned the title weightlifter. Hats off. Very few people in the iron community have accomplished what you have. Well done.

[@dexistence19]

I agree 100%. Very impressive

[@bernieorbust6104]

he should do bodybuilding next

[@chrisdoolittle3666]

+NIGGAS if you spend your whole life getting stronger chances are you'll just end up looking like a bodybuilder anyway

[@MrNoorIskandar]

bodybuilding is all about making yourself look shredded af, but is not healthy to have such low BF % look aesthetics and good. Draining yourself will lose some of your strength gains ....

Strong af, I am en'thrall'ed

[@cuppscraps]

I like what ya did there

[@Anthonyedralin1982]

+ScarkyBoy He has great b'alan'ce.... sorry

[@6subswith0vids80]

He's actually weak for someone who weighs over 200 lbs

[@flyingwizard3]

weightlifting is MUCH harder than it looks. good job.

[@joelscb]

flyingwizard3 it doesn't really look easy though.

[@thepope2412]

Learning basic movements like bench squat and deadlift is pretty easy, but learning how to snatch and clean and all that takes a lot of time because form is so important

[@dagan8659]

@@thepope2412 yeah, is way harder technically than powerlifting.

[@hookoffthejab1]

The time needed to get the required mobility for weightlifting in itself is crazy. Assuming you're an average fellow like myself with mobility.

[@musicisthecure6934]

So true dude….👌🏽

[@jacobmartinezsilva4222]

If I may make a suggestion about your jerk Mr. Thrall. It seems as if you stab at the ground with your back foot when you split. this causes your back leg to straighten out, and that in turn causes you to throw the bar forward and miss. one way to correct that would be to emphasize turning your heel out, while landing on the ball of your back foot. also, you seem to be in a rush on your dip for your jerk, this caused you to have bar separation while you dip, which in turn causes the bar to crash down on you when you begin your jerk drive. To correct this, focus on being more patient on the dip, and then be explosive with the drive.

[@AlanThrall]

Thank you very much

[@jacobmartinezsilva4222]

+Alan Thrall (Untamed Strength) To drill patience in the jerk, a good exercise is to pause at the bottom of the dip, and then aggressively drive the bar. Use moderate-heavy weight as your skill increases.

[@kangjianpan1434]

Hi Jacob, I think turning the hip instead of turning the heel is the key.

[@kangjianpan1434]

jacob Martinez Silva I normally use this work out to increase the dip: 2 dips + 1 jerk @ 90-95 PR

[@SaborMetallico]

I feel that it is very essential to have a positive mindset while doing weightlifting. Almost more than in any other sports. A thought such as "I can't do this" or "I won't make it anyway" is kinda more fatal to think of before snatching 92 kg than in any other discipline. Bad thoughts make you so weak here. Alan, you did awesome!! So freakin' strong. I'm just lifting baby-weights but I always feel very inspired by people like you!! Your videos are so helpful!

[@mmww_]

holy shit alan has 100k subs now?? I remember subscribing when he had like 3k!!!

[@AlanThrall]

Thanks for sticking with me

[@mmww_]

+Alan Thrall (Untamed Strength) no problem man, thanks for putting out great content

[@gyozajoe]

+Pastor Gains 100,001 now! Alan Thrall preaches truth in the house of iron!

[@Lloydy786]

+Pastor Gains That 'How to squat' video tho.. best shit on youtube

[@hakdocarmwrestlingmd]

+Pastor Gains im not sure when i subscribed but i think he didn't even had 1k when i did

[@Lavabug]

240kg total @ 105kg is damn good for 3 months of specialist training. Reach for that 300kg total!

[@RTAMOTORSPORTS]

you skipped the most hardcore part of this entire video...that $5 toll!! awesome job bud!

[@VvLOGiKvV]

+RTA MOTORSPORTS $5?!?

[@cdizzle5885]

you've obviously never driven in NY lol. if you ever have to cross the Verazano get ready to hand over your shirt.

[@VforVanish]

Awesome!, please Alan make some videos about the technique, we know you are not a profesion weightlifter but you are a very good teacher

[@AlanThrall]

I'm in the process!

[@arthur78]

Alan in a singlet. I'm mirin.

[@markuscwatson]

I was curious about that "BBC" poster so I Googled it... I do not recommend others to try this.

I did not heed ur advice good man ... and as defiant as i am I went to search for it ... what came out was raw .. straight from evil angels .... I have since confessed my sins with the sisters of the cathedral

[@jerrybyfield737]

Nice video and bad weather. Good form in your lifts. Back in 1967 we did all three Olympic lifts. I was lucky enough to hold seven of the eight state records in North Dakota in the 198 and over 198 classes. We had no 220 or 242 back then. I once had to hitch hike in 30 below to Minot to win the state championship. I always enjoy your videos and you enthusiasm. Thanks.

[@emilgallier]

Absolute beast. Very very impressive for the amount of time you've been training oly lifting.

[@lukassky8997]

I'm admiring how you always manage to avoid the beard getting stuck under the bar during C&J

[@ianmcstruthers9937]

wow Alan is a true strength athlete. Just watched his strongman, powerlifting, and weightlifting comps and he killed all of them!

[@Bodaciousmusictube]

great showing Alan. your channel is awesome, your content is awesome, your beard is awesome. keep up the informative entertaining inspiring work. big fan.

[@JRAV03DJE]

Awesome Alan and I know I say this a lot but I will say it again......YOU ARE THE MAN!!! I love watching your channel and you have been a huge inspiration and motivation too me and I think your a real nice guy too.

[@Ndnftw]

Look forward to trying this some day. Thanks for all the help Alan. Keep training untamed!

[@tylereddy5048]

Alan you're a freaking natural. I know you're onto bigger better things for yourself, but for the love of all motivation, please do another meet (or mock meet) and show us your new maxes!!!

[@richhertz6086]

The people who can do this kind of thing amaze me. Great job!

Fantastic first meet! Really enjoying the new direction you're going. Cheers from Calgary!

[@arseszarandi5622]

Wow Alan you really impress me with your technique. And the fact that you have done powerlifting, strongman and weightlifting!!

[@aeiou99999]

That's one heck of a debut meet! Well done. Technically very sharp and very strong, too.

[@topladnigel6079]

150kg clean, beast!

[@salazar1104]

No lift...

[@LogiQify]

It's clean and jerk. He cleaned 150kg though

[@Tuckemran]

Was waiting for this video. Nice work, Alan!

[@kmidst_fn5225]

It would be awesome if Alan got back into the oly lifting world!

[@KillerSkullX]

I was thinking the same thing.

[@RichFrisk]

Alan you did real good 5 for 6 heck yeah!!! On your trip over there and seeing you go over the bridge and the freeway signs it was like going down memory lane for me l lived in Northern CA for over 30 years.

[@cuppscraps]

Awesome job! thanks for posting vidoes

[@zcvhzd]

That last snatch looked easy! I hope you continue to olympic lift. I think it's definitely one of the funnest things to do, if really technical!

[@jeffhrdy4life]

This video is legit the summit of my week lol. Was worried you'd gone to Wallhalla

[@GlockenspielSAS]

Wish I did that well on my first competition, great job, Alan!

[@flu593]

This is so fucking inspiring. I'm 31 and I'm thinking of starting Olympic lifting after watching your videos. Just have to work up my mobility cause it's shit. Merry Christmas and keep going!

[@ExumTV]

Im freaking loving your videos man they show what they need to show without being too long and kinda boring nor too short and asking for more. Since you seem so insightful in strenght and muscle building I would love if you could recommend any program that doesn't put the progression standpoint on the Squat and DLs since I can't do those movements too heavy (at least for now cause I have something in my lower back since my childhood that doesn't let me do those excercises with max effort) but with other movements since I love the progression scheme on different lifts to measure your progress. Keep this up friend your channel will explode for sure!!! Cheers from Argentina

[@tylerpeterson5594]

great job! keep up the awesome videos and lifts

[@Frag1ty]

very nice man, love your technique videos

[@mrjohanson7423]

Alan has insane mobility for his size. He just locks his back into a flat position no matter what angle he is in.

[@tjblackforest69]

Good job! Thanks for sharing

[@chrishodyl]

That's awesome Alan, it takes balls to compete. It's also good to see that California is getting some rain.

[@DariusCool]

very nice. i hope you keep with the olympic lifting in addition to your powerlifting as well.

[@speedick4259]

Good stuff man. You're an inspiration

[@Smllc22318]

I think I speak for everyone when I say I'm pleased by the lack of t shirt under that singlet. If i may be so bold, i have the utmost confidence in saying full sub-singet commando would've solidified that final lift. Bravo on the meet

[@ruggedrobbierob]

fantastic lifts !! satch more weight, and les on clean& jerk! but other wise your great at what you do cant wait till the next lift !

Great effort man

[@csgtjureydsvfg]

Amazing stuff

[@KingFreshism]

Make a switch of powerlifting to weightlifting is nice and difficult job man ! U gonna learn to use your strengh in an optimal way. With your strengh and with a work of mobility and pliometry, u gonna be so powerfull ! It will be interesting to follow your body transformation. Very Nice evolution !

[@beskeptic]

in a few days more you get it Alan! Great.

[@donquixote...]

Damn it, Allan...! Very impressive...

[@17MXT]

Great job,Alan!

[@justinmartin5026]

You killed the snatch Alan ;-) Easily had more. Keep up the good work. Love the channel btw

[@sikvel]

I wonder how Candito would perform on olympic lifts

[@davidmolyneux5289]

His overhead strength is pretty weak in comparison to his bench, and I don't believe he has great flexibility (his words). Not trying to put him down, because I really respect him, but I think he'd need to really shift focus

[@4891Cody]

He tried Olympic lifting for about 2 months and quit. He says it was because he wasn't use to training that often and it was to different from he was use to doing. Basically he got humbled by not being as good at as he is powerlifting and he couldn't handle the volume.

[@davidmolyneux5289]

Cody Austin it is a whole other mentality, I think a lot of powerlifters struggle to switch over

[@4891Cody]

+David Molyneux He tried weightlifting and gave up after two months. As far as overhead pressing and jerks go powerlifters usually aren't very good at it compared to Weightlifters and Strongmen.

[@JohnnyWunderboy2]

+Cody Austin How long until he gave up? It wasn't clear

[@bryancastro265]

Great job Alan! Very impressive. Your videos are great keep them coming.
