TRAIN: 565 Pause Squat & Why I think Pause Reps are VERY BENEFICIAL for your Training!

Brian: "I ain't doin as good, but I'm recovering." Also Brian: *Casually Deadlifts 600lbs for a warm up*

[@martinhamp475]

@Керчек 545 with a pause? and recovering from a parasite that was literally eating your brain?

[@martinhamp475]

@Керчек congrats on the deadlift nonetheless. 545 at 20yrs is nothing to sleep on. Keep up the good work!!

Paused squats really helped me, I think they help confidence being in the hole with a lot of weight on your back

[@AnthonyTran]

Powerlifter here. Over the past year, you've piqued my interest in strongman training. I recently signed up for a membership at a strongman gym and now I'm hooked!

[@rubenloera6674]

Good luck man!

[@jahimuddin2306]

How is the strongman training coming along.

[@jmac6973]

Pause squats and deads have really helped me a ton with keeping my back position. Before I was shooting up the hips and dipping forward and after doing pauses for about 5 weeks my comp lifts are really solid

[@michaellacy8510]

"Not being where you used to be" is not the same as "very, very weak!" Inspiring for us that have never been close to your "weak" lifts!

[@GR-uc1gq]

I've been pause squating for months now and it feels so much easier to squat regularly.

[@keysersoze5920]

Pause reps WILL get you stronger. Been doing them for 3-decades.

[@MrJPEscobar]

The channel I go to when I want inspiration for smart, heavy lifting. Paused reps are great for teaching/learning bracing, positioning, explosiveness and GTG (greasing the groove). Gym is looking awesome btw Brian.

[@dy120481]

You're a positive, uplifting person. Hope your health issues are getting better.

[@McMeatBag]

Achilles injuries suck. I've been trying to overcome one after running too much and neglecting calf strength during lockdown 1. Finally back up to 30 minutes of running being comfortable.

[@a.schnitzer9325]

Still my hero and inspiration.

[@CH1C4N0444]

A literal boss EDIT For a way to contact the winners maybe you could get an email from their profile? I mean your KZbin should be attached to some Google account, which would include an email. Alternatively you could reply to a comment asking their preferred method of contact (whether it be email, IG, FB, etc) and continue on from their Hope that helps

[@joshclayg]

Completely agree. Strength is position specific, pauses have value as you can't fake it by using momentum to get through a weak range.

[@gauravmishra3917]

00:00 clap , timestamp had me laughing 😂😂

[@samivey8416]

Hey Brian. If you use boiled linseed oil on the bars it protects from rust and doesn't change the grip of the knurling

Always great to see a Brian video... outdoors, gym, training, coaching, whatever... it is ALL GOOD

Great video 👍

[@raffitchakmakjian]

[@Simpleburger1968]

I seem unable to do kettlebell swings without hurting my lower back pretty swiftly :-( . I do love the barbell squats and am getting into deadlifts - usually with a hex-bar as am keen to avoid the same kind of back issue as with the kettlebell swings ! (for the same reason I cannot ever see me attempting the "Good Mornings" with anything other than air on me).

[@artofnick]

Now THAT sounds like the old Brian Alsruhe, minus the old. Good job Brian

[@raunvs]

Hey Brian, just wondering how you are doing man? Have you reopened the gym yet? You mentioned you had to sell a lot of equipment etc.. a life update would be great. Best wishes. Be safe. Be great.

Totally don’t get why instability is funny

[@jimmyrussell127]

@@BrianAlsruheOfficial He's poking fun at you saying "unstable-ness" instead of "instability," Edit: though when you're squatting 565 on a bad day then you can call it whatever the hell you want

[@rileywayne934]

Excuse me Brian if you see this, is neversate still functioning as your business gym? Or did you unfortunatly close during Americas covid. Thanks

do you guys get ruptured capillaries on your face after heavy lifting? It looks like red dots

[@elimaks7784]

Hey Brian can you help me, my tailbone hurts alot after deadlifting and rows.

[@adamhorn6392]

Hey Eli! I'm definitely no Brian, but I'm a chiropractor and personal trainer. I'd say first thing is definitely make sure you've got your breathing and bracing down, and maybe video yourself doing the exercises to make sure the bar is going down the right path. Beyond that there could be a lot of different things causing it, so it might help to find a chiropractor (bias alert). We can be a mixed bunch so you kinda have to shop around. Good luck on the deadlifts!!

[@lukewitte2564]

Hey Brian, I'm following your Mass Building Program and I'm experiencing a lot of pain in my lower back and hip to the point I have dropped my max deadlift from 435 to not even being able to pull 350 off of the ground. Is there any suggestions how to help with recovery and strengthen the muscles in that area. I have my chiropractor involved and medical doctor says nothing is torn or broke so just need to recoup it, looking for some advice. I been doing a lot lighter deadlifts even tried to do rack pulls thinking maybe less depth would help but that wasn't much help.

[@BrianAlsruheOfficial]

Brian Alsruhe Washington county. Smaller local gym is closed. For some reason I thought other bigger gyms were down but it’s just 50%, apparently

First

[@mr.d_88]

I felt that intro....in my face. Rude. Technically speaking, pausing is all about technique. Builds control. Saying they aren't important or don't do anything is just ignorance lol.
