[@GabrielMartinsFitness]

I love doing GMWTPSTDLHs!

[@GFD472]

That needs to be on a tee shirt!

[@silentlee9288]

naturally enhanced sucks...i kid i kid

[@Alex96190]

hey man I just had a crazy hard squat session, had to do 5×5 and the first set felt incedibly heavy, now you may ask yourself "why is he telling me that", well long story short I didn't believe I was gonna do three sets but I made all five. After the first set I kinda had to think about you running around yelling "decide who you want to be" whenever someone's going for something big and I had to think about your adaptive athletes and how hard it must be for them and I just kept squatting until the work was done. I guess the moral of the story is you're a pretty performance enhancing dude and I'm glad I know you.

[@waltherwagner9711]

Alex Buch : had some similar experience with my conditioning circuit on saturday. I really wanted to quit after round 3 of 10, but I didnt. This channel is gold.

[@Alex96190]

Walther Wagner such a good feeling when you're done with it and you did a lot more than you thought you could!

[@tiniancrawford9550]

Brian's voice yelling in my head is what gets me through every workout

[@tomboyden]

YESSSSIR!

[@zorgath420]

But will it build the taters

[@barakahfactor]

Watch the backflip video; his hat falls off

[@joshjohnston7388]

Dude you are ON FIRE! I'm running dark horse right now. Went for a single on deficit deads last Friday and hit my regular dead lift 1rm. Lower back is pretty sore, but it' the good sore. Thanks, Big Guy. 👍

[@losthoglifting9684]

Josh Johnston amazing how fast this program is bringing strength up for sure. I hit a 425 with snatch grip today which is a 20lb pr for any style of dead

[@joshjohnston7388]

Losthog: lifting my numbers are lousy, but my goal is 2/4/6/8 plates. I'm just over 140 lbs bw. I'm older too. So my ohp has been stalled for 6 months, but it's the closest to goal (85% of) of all my lifts. My bench is getting pretty close and I hit my 1rm for a single with a 3 second pause at the bottom last week Thursday. DL and squat need the most help, but I can reliably set a 10 or 15 pound pr on those every 12 weeks, so I just gotta keep on keeping on. There's a 50 lb difference between my front squat 1rm and my back squat 1rm, so it's unlikely I'll see the one catch the other any time soon. Once I hit my goal, I'll incorporate oly style, because it's pretty bad ass and I won't need specialized equipment for it. No room in the caloric economy to split my training right now, and strength is the priority.

[@losthoglifting9684]

Josh Johnston awesome man. Add me to your subscribe list let’s keep in touch and celebrate the wins!

[@undrachevr]

O man this exact thing happen to me last week.

[@kurtbarry6150]

Sweet tips, off-the-floor has always been my DL sticking point. Going to try these out (esp. the Nordic Hamstring Curl, my gym has one of those angled GHR things, which I use, but the NHC will give me a different resistance curve from what I'm used to). Thanks Brian!

[@Klepzeiker1984]

You talk faster than the speed of sound🤣🤣😂😂,but great video. Greetings from the Netherlands

[@bmstylee]

Sir please stop dropping the weights. You're intimidating our members. 😁

[@James-qi6zi]

Great video. I enjoyed the content, but what I really liked was the energy, attitude, and humor. It’s good to see this side of you coming back!

[@onurrud.6609]

You have friends, what are those people?

[@mr.potatohead6138]

Onur Rud. Haha😆👍

[@doluseb]

Onur Rud. I have a dead cat

[@ferna2294]

Glute harm raises are almost a miracle. 1 month after adding them to my workout, my squat went up 15 pounds. I normally start with bw and then grab a 15kg plate, do a bunch of sets, and then do another extra 1 or 2 sets with a 20kg plate. At that point I´m tired but warmed up, so I can really "explode" on the concentric. Would love to use a bar and add weight instead of being limited to "hugging a plate", but since the machine has got 2 big ass handles, I can´t go full ROM without hitting the bar on the handles and probably getting my ass kicked out of the gym.

[@reiseleitercostarica]

I have no friends, so, great tips for my training. Thanks!

[@BrianAlsruheOfficial]

You and me both brother

[@apuuvah]

I follow you, Alan Thrall, Eliott Hulse and Cailer Woolam. Functional and athletic power is where's at.

I'm stuck on the "Find a friend" step. Please send help.

[@braddixon3338]

What was that acronym? Maybe you needed to say it a few more times :-)Really though, good stuff there that I'm going to be incorporating into my routines.Deadlift more, or go home!

[@joefriesen5296]

That was a HORRIBLE rep that first rep. Ppl seem to be doing that shit more and more and one of these days someone's gonna blow out their damn back rounding like that

[@supersaiyanzero386]

Feel like I know this guy for some reason

[@BrianAlsruheOfficial]

You very well may but I look like a lot of people

[@shanekibbey6166]

For Nordic curls, I just put 400+ pounds on a bar, put a small plate in front and behind the weights and use that to anchor my heels...

[@ArvidLager]

Is it alright to use a ham curl machine? (laying on stomach) or should it be done with bodyweight?

[@milkdoubt8837]

Glad to see youre energy back

[@KarlHamel]

Transition...turn head left side, Transition...turn head right side, Repeat.

[@alexbrewbaker274]

“We don’t tape videos anymore” “ we film videos”😂

[@Muffinman6699]

Don't use a dead cat! My girlfriend got very mad :(

[@jameshealey8995]

Two thousand thumbs up and only 5 dislikes. Well deserved.

[@bensoto8799]

Just watched 3 of your videos and all excellent and hilarious! 🤣

[@alexanderb7785]

I love these videos by John cena. How much pre-workout did you take before this one?

[@BrianAlsruheOfficial]

I don't drink much Caffeine.That is just my energy

[@dubrav06]

Hey man, first of all great videos. Second. l need some tips. lm 16yrs old and recently lve been squatting a lot. and developed knee pain. Any help?

[@Fortress333]

Please do a tutorial on how to glute-hamraise the right way, Brian. Maybe with a progression scheme. I tried doing them, but they are very difficult (I mean impossible, it felt like). I also felt like a fool on the thing and it didn't help that I thought I was doing it all wrong probably. I even used a PVC pipe I held in front of me like a pole to help me get up. The movement feels awkward. I got terrible cramps and some pain in the hip-flexor area. It seemed dangerous trying to do them, so a tutorial would be greatly appreciated. Closest you came to a how-to was this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/haqafpSuap2Vg9U (Squat Series Pt. 3: Assistance Exercises...)

[@losthoglifting9684]

Awesome advice thx. 20lb deadlift pr running the Darkhorse today! And it was snatch grip. Assuming it will translate to close to 50 in the conventional. Keep bringing it man!

[@johnwright2656]

We are so lucky to have this content for FREE!!! Thank You Brian! Legend. How are the backflips going?

[@tiniancrawford9550]

Yet another amazing video! I'm getting close to PR week(s) on Dark Horse, and I'm really looking forward to deadlift day! I'm very confident I'll be blowing my current PR out of the water.

[@1985Crystal]

Thanks Brian This video had me smilling the whole time. I will try these tips. I did 555 yesterday and struggled alittle at lock out but got it. I try to break the floor my splitting my brain as i pull as hard as i can and push my feet thru the floor a 50 50 effort at both ends. Like i am pulling a rope to stay alive lol

[@mikelewis5814]

i think he was summoning the kracken at the end

[@Reppintimefitness]

Thanks bro

[@BrianAlsruheOfficial]

Thank you for watching it brother

[@melmel472]

I thought this was John Cena's secret youtube channel

[@NurSLICMA]

Hi Brian Noticed your choice of shorts, are you a jiu-jitsu guy too!

[@rayfuller4460]

If Seth Feroce and John Cena had a baby boy poof out comes Brian.

[@NML666]

Makes my 160kg PR look pathetic lol

[@eztvlight1202]

Your better then most normies! Keep it up

[@xdtv3132]

160kg is very good

[@NML666]

Thank you, just into my 3rd month of strongman training, using Brian's work guide.

[@francoisstrength]

NML1986 At what bodyweight and training history? It can literally be really really good or absolute rubbish depending. You're quite a lot stronger than the average8 guy, a bit stronger than the average guy who gyms, not that strong for someone who is 100± kilos and has been training for over a year, and just plain weak compared to a competitive lifter. Even Eddie Hall is weak compared to an elephant or a whale, it is all relative.

[@ringburner3611]

me and NML1986 work together on gym stuff albeit from different countries. Both of us are floating around the 87-88kg body weight range.

[@rob34star]

What r these “friends” u speak of. I haven’t heard of this exercise

[@supersaiyanzero386]

Can't I just do the Nordic glute ham raise with the barbell and just put on 25s instead so my legs will fit in there? Because that's what I'm about to do LOL I completely forgot about accessory exercises I feel like a fool I used to deadlift 550 now I'm at 3 7 0 granted lost 120 lb and this is only my third deadlift in 2 years Edit ok that works if youre heavy or large but the feet under a fixture is better

[@BrianAlsruheOfficial]

Yes, you could if you wanted to

[@dereksmith6069]

He has good info. But spinning into the frames at start of recording is annoying

[@lllllllllllllllll110]

Hi Brian, great video as usual man. Could you please do a video talking about your lower back injuries and how you managed to overcome them bro? I'm honestly amazed and inspired how someone who has broken their back TWICE can barbell row 405lbs strict. I'm sure a video would like this would help so many people, as it is a common issue. Much love bro!

[@BrianAlsruheOfficial]

I've already made a few of those brother, they are on the channel.

[@berzerkerburger3453]

I'm glad you stopped gluing your plates to the floor Brian.

[@justinricey5496]

So glad you suggested a dead cat, I was going to do that but I wasn’t sure.

[@owensweet3248]

Now i have to make a freind somehow to do nordic hamstring curls

[@mr.potatohead6138]

some guy you'll lose that friend after one fart.😁

[@mambutuomalley2260]

I don't have much to smile about currently but a lot of the few smiles I get come from your videos. Amazingly informative, good humor and good (sometimes subliminal) life advice. Thanks, Brian!

[@Mike71730]

Mambutu O'Malley just smile anyway. No matter what. Much love, brother.

[@dragenthatch3623]

Mambutu O'Malley you ok bud?

[@mambutuomalley2260]

Dragen Thatch To be honest: No. No, I'm not. But I'll get through it eventually... hopefully.

[@dragenthatch3623]

Mambutu O'Malley im sorry to hear that brotha going through stuff is terrible, hope you pull through it, good luck

[@sivaramancr1322]

Could you make a video on the pause deadlift?

[@gatozilla2607]

What do you recommend, in deadlift, touch n' go, or, stop at the bottom with explosive lift

[@BrianAlsruheOfficial]

Depends what you are trying for.

[@MuscularMontel]

Back to brian's vids after a while. I didn't fully acknowledge how much energy he has

[@Habeev07]

Glad to be here. This is crazy. Just watched the grip gauntlet you had with Jujimufu and came over to sub your channel. I heard in that video your birthday was May 26th - thats actually the same birthday as my best friend. Incredibly, I had to take a screenshot because when I subbed your channel you had 102,999 subs! I was exactly your 103,000th subscriber. IRONICALLY HONORED.

[@B29p]

SHUT UP ABOUT MY SOCIAL SKILLS!

[@satricon]

This is EXACTLY the video i needed! i can currently romanian deadlift deadlift 210kgx3. but im almost struggling to get 200kg off the floor. my PR is 230 but im off the wagon due to rehab etc. So after todays squats, i did 60kg good mornings to try it. and even at that weight, 8 reps beat the shit out of my core and posterior chain. so your video def reinforced the notion that i REALLY have to work on it. definatly a weak point. Great tip using the SSB bar set to deadlift height. Much appreciated!

[@3rKoPlaysMinecraft]

Block/Rack pulls worked wonders for me, don't have them back home in my town now that I'm home for summer holidays, what do? 1, Go to more expensive gym, 2, Bring planks to LA Fitness equivalent gym?

[@MotherGood]

AMAZING VIDEO.. As always, informative and honest.. But this one is really funny aswell! :D

[@protondecay3207]

Perfect timing for that video! Thanks.

[@karansoam]

I am dealing with this issue.

[@seijuro13]

I love my GHD but suddenly got some pain in the back of my knee...no pop or snap or anything but doing GHR's seems to be the only thing that aggravates it. Bummed.

[@susie7336]

I use the lat pull down seat to do the Nordic hamstring curls. Begin with a body bar for stability then transition to the bosu ball if you’re weak.

[@nolenlifts4661]

is the good morning more effective than the Romanian Deadlift?

[@neilrowe5857]

Nolen Elam Just what I was wondering.

[@gotdirt66]

Slow down with the talking

[@mosidian]

Hey Brian, wonder if you know Jocko Willink? You two seem to have similar backgrounds Perhaps could do a collab or smtg! You guys are inspiration!

[@LarsManderson]

Just found your channel through Jujimufu. Awesome content. I started incorporating some of the strongman movements (keg carry, farmers walks, etc...) into ACL reconstruction recovery since I can't squat and deadlift heavy. Good shit.

[@McMeatBag]

Thanks for the demonstration clip of a nordic hamstring curl. My initial thought was "what's a nordic hamstring curl?"

[@Jacob38092]

Good morningnings muscles

[@SnoFreak700]

LIES!!! You have Nic!!!

[@brandongunsolus903]

Very off topic question. But been a fan for a long time and know in the beginning most of your t-nation logs had you doing full body workout 4x a week. What was the impetus towards moving towards 1 main lift a day seen in most of your free programs?

[@matthijs579]

Hey Brian, I always talk about you to my girlfriend since I really enjoy all the videos. It has gotten to the point where if I dont eat well she says something like: "Brian Alsruhe would be dissappointed." or "I bet that Brian Alsruhe would eat a little more dont you think?"

[@todorvachev891]

So cringy, cant stand it sorry

[@JoshHigginbotham8716]

Brian I really enjoy your conjugate program and I really see it hitting my weak points .

[@chelseythomas388]

I refuse to work on my social skills Brian. Im an awkward bookworm. Books and dogs>people. :) loved this video!

[@SnoFreak700]

Oh and people who love you.

[@billwhorley367]

Brian, your videos are an inspiration and I am a mere 20 pounds from my original Bench Press goal. One i set when i started my quest to get back into shape and lose weight. Thanks for the Infotainment, and I am damn sure going to work GMWTPSTDLH's into my squat days!!!

[@eztvlight1202]

What are your views on weighted 45 degree gluteham raise for single/double type stuff? Or pull up bar deadlifts with weights or rubber bands? Good stuff your channel!

[@Tarek20x]

Brian, your slogan of "die empty." What does it mean exactly?

[@ivokraaier9740]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/j3q3iaSsbbOVprc is where you'll find all the answers, Tarek.

[@kylejudkins754]

means leave everything on the table. as in, give it 100%.

[@arissp4950]

I'm running your linear program at the moment, I wanted to ask you when it's the time to test new PRs. Obviously when I have the right mind set but what about when my body is ready. I 'm on week 3 now, shall I wait till I finish the 3 months and then test ?

[@lolagyable]

so....much..... energy

[@woodyplatapus]

Sooooooo much energy

[@Eye8urBrains]

My deadlift is weak off the ground and I realized it was because I bounce my weights too much when doing reps so now I always pause at the bottom, definitely going to try to find something in my gym to do a home glute ham raise off of also now

[@matthewsinger4902]

Trenphetamine

[@muhammadasifsheikh1092]

Who else is like me watching his video at x0.75 to understand it better :P

[@fran-jag]

Weight selection video would be awesome. I always suck and over shoot and end up doing more like 5 singles instead of a set of 5 at the last set.

[@dragenthatch3623]

Absolutely can't wait to try Nordic Hammy Curls

[@Bearrorist]

That ending was amazing hahahaha

[@ChristianDurusTelamon]

Great tips! Unfortunately I have the problem where I struggle at the knees instead of the floor - is that technique or just weakness? That ending though lol.

[@BrianAlsruheOfficial]

Could be either brother, I'd have to see it.

[@nickalbors5303]

Your channel is so underrated! thank you so much! Your the best!

[@SFRB1187]

“punch them back and then do pull ups” ROTFL 😂

[@scottbebbington274]

Hi Brian Any advice on how to train for side handle car deadlift if you don't have access to a frame? As I have this event coming up in my next comp. Thanks, appreciate your advice and the awesome content you keep putting out.

[@BrianAlsruheOfficial]

Kale Beck shows how to make a Car deadlift Simulator that works decent but other than that you can work some trap bar or farmer's handle but without the backwards lean of a car deadlift, then you won't replicate it. It doesn't feel like A deadlift, it is more of a Hack Squat
