5 Tips: Become A Better Coach / Personal Trainer

[@perturbo]

Your editing has ascended to a new level

[@miguel-te5rj]

Nice to see how successful you have become while maintaining your personality

[@adelineproverbs3139]

Stay humble Alan. Thank you for helping be a better squatter and do deadlifts properly. God bless.

[@VegetoStevieD]

Hey Allan, great video! I recently had a problem with a client. He unracked the bar for a squat, and I proceeded to give him the command "Train Untaaaaiiimmmmmeed". He immediately threw the barbell out the window, and began humping my leg. Please advise.

[@patwams48]

I don't see what the problem is?

[@lelandshields3777]

brb dying over here. good lord

[@inigoxd]

@Brian Valdovinos not only do we not give a shit, you are breaking the law

[@jakobmayr8696]

Love these type of videos alan with a lot of skits in them. Your humor along with your knowledge was why I watched so many videos of you countless times.

[@alphous3777]

You're the only coach , guru, on KZbin with sportsmen soul and without ego, who speaks correct language and be clear.

[@jas4768]

I remember when my PE teacher told me that your hamstrings are ur calves, and i believed him for like 10 years until last year where i started lifting damn

[@hallowurm]

Clever way to get around training calves

[@CarlosValenzuela-sx9xb]

bind Was your teacher an older lady?

[@jas4768]

fuck yeah now i look like a cone

[@LewisBowels]

A physical education teacher and they didn't know basic human anatomy. Good Lord.

[@natalialuengo9472]

I really need a hair tutorial and products from Alan 🤔

[@b19931228]

I find these tips really helpful and can be applied to a multitude of training subjects that involve physical activities.

[@septicbile2901]

Thanks for this man. I'm an aspiring trainer/coach and I have a few of theses problems. I've recently started training an old friend who noticed my transformation and started asking advice. So we agreed that he would get free training, and in a way I also get free training. I'm going to watch this a few more times and make some notes. Thanks again man! Oh...and get your ass to jujimufu's garage ASAP!

[@stevesshawl7977]

Hands down, Alan is a KZbin legend.

[@alicecook3859]

This video is literally EVERYTHING I learnt in the past 4 years of being a PT Hahahha. I feel like every single point you made was a learning curve I had to figure out for myself and wish i saw this video then! So great! Especially tip 2.5 that one took me a while!

[@jonnyhallsworth]

This is a return to form for Alan. This type of video is why I subbed way back when. Keep it up

[@scottivlow9962]

Alan I just watched this video because it showed up in a suggestion list. Funny as hell. Your teaching and sense of humor is the best. I cracked up so much from this one.

[@wyattyake2355]

Great video! I've been a trainer for going on 5 years now and I could for sure call myself out on doin a couple of these things from time to time. Thank you for the upload.

[@spencermariano8454]

Lol I refuse to be bullied by the irs

[@zombiedrumma]

"as a sovereign citizen..." sickening

[@afrog2666]

No such thing as "sovereign citizen" lol.. Unless you have your own nation :p Some people are just selfish, arrogant, ignorant, and plain god damn stupid..

[@superduper6570]

Wish I lived in Sacramento, California. But I am glued here in Norway.

[@DavidVanNorman]

As always, a high quality video with real substance to it, made in a cinematic form. I'm of course a bias fanboy, but who else see these types of videos as the future of youtube fitness?

[@Brickinasock]

Tip #7 show them how to photoshop their selfies

[@salmanhussain6863]

Brick Kenny ko's coach did that

[@oren.kirschenbaum]

Ever since Alan became a Starting Strength coach this channel is exploding of top notch content. And the production skills of course! Keep'em coming

[@mistersir5618]

These new editing skills be Trippy

[@AgentOrangeX22]

Whoa Bloodegale is sweet! That thrashdown at the end of 'Gaul' especially. Chur Alan, great taste in Metal!!

[@adambyers3169]

This video is so true, so many personal trainers try to sound clever by using big words and there client stares at them with a blank look

[@outlinedace573]

The editing on this video is incredible

[@CHOI8990319]

Thank you for the tips Alan.

[@theneonpython]

the quality of your videos has increased a lot recently, good shit

[@willh3972]

The double imaging (I don't know what else to call it, where two alans are on screen at once) are really cool and getting better. Excellent editing.

[@That__Guy]

This applies to so much more than just lifting. Thanks Alan!

[@weeshnaaa]

This was great and super helpful! Ever since I started powerlifting I've had a lot of women I know ask for me to help them start lifting. I really try to incorporate everything I've learned from you to help them. And I also have gotten a little insight by getting some in person training from your fellow starting strength coach, Niki Sims! Both of you are amazing, and I will always reference your knowledge to anyone, whether a beginner or seasoned lifter :)

[@MatiasStrengthCoach]

Great advice man, keep it up. BTW nice editing

[@crazyaboutgains157]

I think john Meadows is a great example of all these points, and much more

[@ryanturner8577]

The "Why" part in this video over analyzing and explaining everything you're teaching them, is becoming more common nowadays. as a coach/trainer, you have the knowledge and the understanding. But you're the one that needs to digest it and spit it back up in an easy and understandable way. Laymans terms. Too many people nowadays trying to sound smart by throwing up all the Chris duffin and mike Israetel material they just read. The smartest trainers and coaches make things as simple and easily understandable as possible. If they ask, then you can go into it more.

[@HooDRidEWhiteY]

Ryan Turner well done deadly striker, well done.

[@adrianm.1732]

Man I loved your sense of humor! Nice vid!!

[@scottplested6257]

Great video! you have such a great way of simplifying things. Thankyou

[@SM2099]

Yo Alan, you should see the beardbrand channel, you could use some beard oil. Also you could the some of the see through parts of you beard so it might grow thicker and give it a fuller look and less wispy. Love you channel

[@bizarreasmr]

Alan, youre the best! Learned so much from you. And that fierce flow is glorious

[@shaneoakley8757]

Can we get more 'Drill Sergeant Alan' because that is freaking hilarious.

[@heraldofthegospel]

Great video Alan, very encouraging.

[@saxier1838]

Congrats Alan !!

[@tankzore25]

[@NOCAPITALS901]

Now this is the Alan I subscribed to.

[@jamesgallagher9080]

This is amazing. I learned a lot and laughed out loud more than once. Thanks Allan!!

[@achso18]

Hey Alan. Link in the description is pointing to the seminar in San Antonio. Just wanted to let you know. Nice video, btw. Keep up the good work!

[@kris3733]

Great vid! I'm planning on becoming a tennis coach but these tips still apply for any coaching :)

[@landi2244]

I look forward to Allan Thrall videos. Great video.

[@michaelramirez3908]

Loved the video. I am looking to be a certified personal trainer and nutrition specialist as it is my passion in helping others achieve their fitness goals. I will definitely keep everything in mind that was discussed in the video!

[@ManuelVCano]

Infinite thumbs up! 👍Great video Alan

[@Sayeed_124]

Thanks alot Alan! Great video. Helped alot.

[@DivyangSaxena]

This gave me an idea for a video series: Becoming a better coach / trainer. It would be great to hear Alan's year's of experience and learnings/ tips on the entire client lifecycle, from initial meeting to program selection, etc.. Thumbs up if you agree so he can see! dont think such a series has been done made properly yet.. or is there?

[@enricogarro5884]

[@4ndr3c3s4r1n0]

Cheerleader Alan is still more attractive than most women out there.

[@Memento__Mori]

A legend you are sir

[@emiliofuente828]

Thank you for the great advice 💪💪 Much appreciated!!

[@BlueNoteGaming_]

This was an amazing and well done video Alan! It's awesome to see the quality of your content continually improving! 👍

[@claireth29]

too bad i don't have (not even close i can say) someone like you to train me where i live...so the only thing i can do is watch your videos and try my best on my own at the commercial gym i'm going.. Keep up the good work,stay heavy \m/ Greetings from Greece :)

[@Hellthrasher]

Excellent footage and tips. Really enjoyed this one. Thanks Alan and Adam :D -noticing the vid quality is sharper now, too. . new cam?

[@MartiinCarrillo]

Great video!

[@619cardo]

Correct me if I'm wrong @alanthrall but I thought arching your back for a deadlift was bad for u. I thought u had to keep it flat and straight

[@claytonbrown1692]

ricardo Ortega it’s ok as long as it’s not obsessive and the arch isn’t at the lower back

[@lasseolsen10]

great video

[@arseszarandi5622]

Alan love your videos, keep the good work up man ;)

[@davidnmfarrell]

Hey Alan, do you teach the overhead press using the "snapping" model described in SS 3rd ed? It seems like a difficult movement pattern to learn/teach

[@berserkersam9118]

Great video as always Alan, I found this to be really helpful. I just have one question, why isn't Adam Paul's youtube channel, instagram, facebook and twitter accounts linked in the description?

[@spencermariano8454]

Dude sick intro sick content

[@darrenturner8792]

Dope video! good tips as always

[@Forte86]

Thanks again for the great content! :)

[@milezy3]

Really good 👍

[@bradcoombs5244]

Solid video, Alan

[@konstantinosmavrias3160]

Dang, how quick do you need to be to be first?!

[@juncruz3685]

good vid alan miss this type of vid 😊 keep them coming

[@stevensparks19]

how many times did you have to do that cheerleading bit before you got through it without laughing

[@karolmierzejewski1392]

What do we want? Lats!

[@tusharjamwal]

OMG this was so funny, there are so many videos on youtube exactly like this!

[@bettike0930]

I am guilty in almost every point. Thanks for the video!

[@MiketheMadness]

Top Tip: Make all attractive women squat as close to your groin as possible for the sake of their form.

[@daggerdoom9793]

MiketheMadness there should be no daylight in between there back and your front. hands must be firm on there chest.

[@Robo0595]

PRETEND LIKE YOU'RE SITTING IN A CHAIR. A MEAT CHAIR.

[@rambo2punt0]

+Robo0595 a me chair

[@rambo2punt0]

+Robo0595 a me chair

[@rambo2punt0]

+Robo0595 a me chair

[@alfieboyyy376]

3:05 LOL! I literally spit my water out! Hilarious as always!

[@pehenry]

You had me at "knife hand thumbnail".

[@Elem40]

Where can I subscribe to Adam Paul?

[@FudruckerActual]

That knifehand in the thumbnail is vicious

[@blockiigymtralee8102]

super video .

[@alexconner6866]

Training for free and training partners are key to growing as a PT

[@canererbay8842]

How do you decide the working weights for each exercise before starting the linear progression with the SS method?

[@Uncle_Tijikun]

Caner ERBAY you start with an empty barbell and do a set of five. If form is correct and the weight is light you add 5/10/25 lbs and you do another set of five. You keep repeating the process until the bar starts to slow down and you feel another jump, even if minimum, could compromise your technique. You do two more sets of five with the same weight and you build up from there. Have fun with your novice LP!

[@canererbay8842]

Davide Cerullo thanks for the answer and good wishes. I had asked that for when I would train other people, though. And I thought the starting weight to do 3x5s would be somewhat lighter than the point you just described. To allow the lifters to practise the technique and gain some momentum before they start grinding under their new maxes every training session.

[@AmandaMustang]

Good stuff

[@bpt2g2o90]

3:05 Confident I laughed harder then anyone who watched this

[@jimmyofdeath]

Jim Krajick I come back to this video just to watch this part all the time

[@mikemeans6279]

I could watch all this bro's videos for the intro music alone

[@Alex96190]

woooooah that's a cool new intro

[@TheJaronH]

Funniest video yet lol but the message was clear, really good job on that one ☺

[@tiberius5245]

Thank God you have changed your intro music. :)
