Short and fat as possible. I'll envision my hero, Danny Devito, next time I brace

Danny DeVito lmfao that was the funniest part of Super Troopers 2

I was gonna like the comment but it was at a perfect 69 so I'll say I mentally liked this comment

too fast :-)

I am a dog and this helped me so much.

hahahahaahahahaha

[@killxswitch]

My squat and deadlift changed so much for the better after watching your original breathing/bracing video. Not just physically, but also knowing "My legs are strong enough, I just need to keep my torso from failing".

[@MrJosh6889]

I'm ok with this video being a repeat because I should probably be listening to it about once a week anyway.

[@mohitthareja8419]

I watch it every few months. This video is to a lifter, what a bible is to a Christian.

[@dondemarco8155]

Hes a combination of elliot hulse and john cena

[@itsNep_]

Rashaad Deen He's much less insane than Elliot

[@dragonchr15]

Has he twitched around on a table while screaming like a little girl?

[@elbluepatato]

Lol but better

[@tjcogger1974]

Maybe 2013 elliot hulse.

[@nathan4243]

Early hulse, pre king program

[@michaelprice8207]

The more I do this the more I found that I naturally brace for other lifts. Like taking the garbage to the curb or trying to take all the groceries in the house in one trip. Maybe not eyes popping out brace, but still a brace.

[@joshjohnston7388]

Michael Price we swapped trash companies a few weeks ago. Recycle can was packed. Went to lift and dump it into the new can. Couldn't. Remembered to brace. Easy peasy.

[@DrewLSsix]

Michael Price. Yup, and that protects you from injuries outsode the gym. Probably where most people actually experience a problem, picking up 20lbs of groceries or a 40lb kid rather than that impressive 1rep DL.

[@3Q2HFNILQHF]

Me too!!

[@yogajogajogi8026]

Hello. Is this breathing suitable for high reps such as 12 repetitions on lifts. How would one go about applying this technique for 12 repetitions. Would I essentially breathing in and out between every single repetition.

[@michaelprice8207]

@@yogajogajogi8026 It's more for heavy reps. You can do it by breaking up the reps. Like do 6. In the standing position breath and rebrace. Then do 6 more. Something like that

[@terryhinkemeyer3857]

Hey Brian, thanks to you I just put 25 lbs on my 225 squat, hitting a piss clean low bar 250. I got a belt and followed your advice and my squat has never felt better. I weigh 165 so that’s a 1.5 x bw 1RM. On 1/1/17, I weighed 138 and was a much weaker man. Thank you so much for such awesome content and for sharing your training journey with us. Big love to you and Neversate, Brian! I hope you heal quickly and continue to regain strength, man. Thank you.

[@LW62_Gaming]

Watching this right before my squat workout

[@StewIsBest]

This litteraly changed my lifting the first time you made a video about bracing, because I had NEVER heard of this before. I STILL send people your original video anytime I am trying to explain it to them. My squat went up by 50 pounds or more once I mastered this.

[@chelseythomas388]

"You've been breathing your whole life so I hesitate to tell you what to do but...you're doing it wrong" I was waiting the whole video for that. Breathing and bracing>anything.

[@1985Marc]

Brian if you talk about something 1000 times i will listen!

[@luejackbaker4678]

Hey Brian, when I found your channel a year or so ago I was fairly new to real lifting and my squat max was somewhere around 185. Today I hit a 315 for a new 1rm and a goal I’ve had for a long time. Thanks for the content!

[@MichaelWellman1955]

Probably one of the best lifting quotes I've ever heard..."strength is a skill and the only way you get better is practice". Beautiful. There should be a bumper sticker for this,

[@erich2429]

His passion about bracing is flat out inspirational...... fantastic info.....

[@BrianAlsruheOfficial]

It’s an important thing for people to know haha

[@Bearrorist]

Breathing and bracing has changed everything about my lifting. So in that regard, your first video was pretty awesome.

[@mohitthareja8419]

This video is criminally underrated.

[@BrianAlsruheOfficial]

I appreciate that brother!

[@johndavison2760]

All these years lifting weights and I never learned this. I've implemented this the last few weeks with terrific results. Thank you for the clear explanation.

[@gwastraffamser6618]

Every time someone at work asks me for programming advice, I refer them to you. Helping the 100k cause as best I can!

[@jonburleigh8804]

I’m going to school to be a Chiropractor and breathing and bracing is just important in life in general. Great video.

[@tamz0309]

Thanks! I am actually going to add that kettle bell movement to my warmup tomorrow am, before I practice my log clean and press. Your videos have helped me so much.

[@ad_astroturf5037]

Your earlier breathing and bracing video taught me the cadence I should have while lifting things, when to exhale, when to inhale, and that let me complete all my sets and reps while being able to give (if not 100% then at least) 80% of my strength to each rep. Now I'm going to start doing the same thing turned up to 11, brace as hard as I can, breathe in as deeply as I can, and I'm confident this'll help me with greater things in the future.

[@nahuelise4055]

a long time ago i read an articule on Tnation by dan jon which talked about this subject "We humans are like bicycle inner tubes. Our performance depends on our inner pressure. Sadly, most of us ride around on underinflated tires. True, the world looks at our treads first, but what really counts is the pressure."

[@IIG]

This channel is the shit. Seriously underrated.

[@seandavis4904]

Most underrated channel in the fitness industry! So much quality advice.

[@jordanvega8410]

Your first breathing and bracing video was the first time it really clicked for me. 100% game changer. I struggle a bit on high rep front squats though, I find myself almost passing out by the 10th rep

[@BrianAlsruheOfficial]

Don't do 10 reps of front squat. 5-8 will do as long as they are heavy enough

[@BrianAlsruheOfficial]

And flex your butt when you reset between reps. It will help

[@DrewLSsix]

Brian Alsruhe. When's the NEVERsate FLEX YOUR BUTT! Shirt going to be available?

[@QQyoko]

Literally just here for the abs in the thumbnail. Will you be revisiting more of your older videos? You have a ton more personality on camera now and it'd be fun to see some of the oldies cranked up to 11.

[@BrianAlsruheOfficial]

Yea, I really think I will

[@sehejdang2379]

I’m a beginner, my numbers are skyrocketing with his videos, so glad I found this channel💪🏻 😩💯

[@OGChopSly]

Guys, if you love this channel and Brian, and want to support him here's what ya do. Throw him an email and ask about a program. Just got one and It is unlike any other program I've done or seen. It is really worth it. Keep killing it man!

[@markolson7515]

Always great to revisit old videos that inspired me. Forgot how big a difference it makes!

[@josephdouglas6482]

I actually watched the first video, and I thought it was fine. I learned from it. I saw some other videos on how to breathe and brace, and they were fine as a reminder if you already know how to do it. But your breakdown really helped me get better at it and put it all together. I did some squats last night and my back was not happy with me, woke up fine and did some tonight and feel a lot better.

[@BrianAlsruheOfficial]

I’m so glad it helped!

[@ladyvader3173]

This is SO helpful!! Your tip on how to breathe on the OHP has already changed my lifting completely and i can't wait to "try" this tomorrow..fantastic content as always! PS:."WO man"..love it..😂😂😂😂

[@NoorKhan-wi2de]

Mr Brian makes sooooooo much sense I wish I had a teacher like him

[@ctvwrest]

Happy early birthday Brian!

[@philipl.7188]

I just discovered this channel. I feel like i am compatible with the way things are explained here, nice , simple and damn useful. Dont change man. DO NOT CHANGE or I'll find you...

[@Mr.Ciobanu]

my lifting has evolved along side your channel...thank you

[@RobSimpson-BarbellsandBurpees]

The old vid was great back then but some of those old vids look funny now looking back. Happy birthday Brian

[@djfromdaback]

Brian your tip just helped my squat tremendously - i realised i concentrated my bracing too much in the middle instead of filling up the tank all the way to the bottom - ive been doing this for like 2 years - your comparison to a good brace to a legpress just clicked something in my head and trying to get the same feeling/support when bracing and filling up my stomach and to the back DANG! BRO my pr just went up from 130 to 140 kg in one workout. Thanks! the best advice ever!

[@1Reaper1]

Dude. Thought I was bracing properly... nope. You have changed my life. Not my lifts, my life

[@evereadyathletics241]

I really benefitted from your first breathing and bracing video, but this added some good stuff to practice. Thanks!

[@williamthomas4062]

thank you for putting this information up. no one else puts this stuff up

[@matijaskuk5348]

Man you are legend

[@starfeel6127]

It's one of those videos that make me feel better about the day

[@Wrightjl812]

The last video you made on this helped me more than anything else has. Thanks again Brian for the awesome advice. Also anyone wondering about Brian's Workout Programs. THEY WORK!!! Purchase one and get ready for some gains and new PR's.

[@davethomas1303]

Thank you for this video and your others. The number of times trainers, friends and even my own wife have told be to breath while lifting has been some of the worst advice I’ve ever received. I was always naturally holding my breath with out thinking about it. But today I used breathing and bracing properly after watching your videos and my 400lb deadlift felt like a 200lb deadlift. Not only that with in a day of watching you and also strength untamed dude my 3 power lifts form have gone from shit to awesome. So glad I randomly found this. Next time someone tells me to breath I’m going to just stare them in the face and turn purple.

[@waltherwagner9711]

Thank you! I am practicing this every training session since I saw your first breathing and bracing video a view months ago. I hope it starts clicking one day.

[@sinarajaee4381]

[@matthewfranz6649]

White Monster is superior. Other than that, fantastic content as usual. I really need to stop watching your stuff at work. I get so hyped to lift!

[@iftekhar77]

breathe and brace when you blow out the candles happy birthday cheers 🇨🇦

[@lonewolf5533]

nowadays information is everywhere, but what's rare is CERTAINTY that you have in your advices !!! and thats is priceless. you can't find many ppl to make you certain like you do Brian and that comes from years and years of experience. aside from the content, the certainty that you give lifters in your videos, is what makes the difference between someone make progress in the gym and break plateaus or just get more confused. God bless you Brain. keep up the good work brother.

[@jashonevans3284]

You videos have gotten better. You always bring knowledge and intensity. You just being lots of great ideas even from you first few videos.

[@nazmulhaque1308]

Loving the output. Best KZbinr

Happy Birthday, Brian!

[@timvsannie]

Priceless information and the best teacher in lifting game! Thank you Brian for making these videos. I miss these videos of you hopefully you are well and starting to make more of these. Thank you again.

[@krobjacks]

already was aware of this concept but this explanation helped me so much..def ready to be back in the gym and try this

[@AllensActiveProductions95]

Your original breathing and bracing video really changed my lifting journey for the better cause before that I didn’t even know that was a thing, so thank you Brian! This one was even better!!!!

[@pswierczynski6985]

Helps me a lot, you're a intelligent guy, wishing you best

[@beingofleisure]

Dude, I just pulled 540 lbs with gas left in the tank! Over 30 lbs over my last workout with this one change. How’d I never know about this with 20 years of lifting? THANK YOU, BRIAN!

[@1985Marc]

Happy Birthday bro. Have a awesome weekend.

[@dodgerboyjedward]

Can't wait to see what masochistic birthday mindset challenge you do this year!

Uh oh, you said steroids, you can hear the trolls formulating comments. Excellent material on bracing though, this is getting added to my regime. And happy birthday from Australia.

[@ManuelVCano]

@Brian Alsruhe Happy Birthday brother! Appreciate all you've done for us. Sharing your knowledge and wisdom. You're more of a million subscriber kind of channel. You'll get there. Not for validation but for real, raw content. Peace ✌

[@kauerpc]

You will soon reach 100k subscribers, Brian, but more important is the level of engagement of the subscribers you have. You have less subscribers than other channels, but your videos are better, more viewed and more commented. Don't If KZbin has a tool to measure that, but I can guarantee haha. Cheers!

[@sacristar]

The correlation between Dan John and you just hit me: Dan John is all "Make a difference, live, love, laugh, drink water, don't smoke, eat your veggies, put weight overhead, ..., say thank you." And you're "Do something amazing with your lives, breathe and brace, squeeze your glutes, mindful practice with every rep, be nice to each other." Those life mantras are on point! =)

[@grassman8684]

Happy birthday Brian!!

[@guillaumelian9138]

This is what I exactly need to hear... Thank you so much Brian 😀😀😀

[@joshhead9368]

this changes my whole life. Thanks

[@spaceghost7807]

I appreciate the reiteration man :) thanks so much! I promise to breath and brace with more intent than ever.

You have been putting videos out like crazy. I see your hard work and I appreciate you, brother. Keep pushing!!

[@jmac6973]

Extremely helpful. on your last video I didn't know what you meant by a big "Belly Breath". i tried my squat 1 RM recently and couldn't get a big breath under the load because I was trying to lift my shoulders as I breathed in. of course I missed the lift but I can't wait to try it with this breathing technique. thank you!

[@bengutzky2707]

Thanks for the awesome video Brian! This is honestly the first videos I've ever seen where someone went this in depth so I'd heard of it before but never really understood it. Definitely something I am going to focus on from here on out. Hope you have a great birthday!
