Youre so right about the drinking. Since i quit drinking 6 weeks ago, my recovery, training and results have never been better. Neither has my drive, i used to have to force myself to lift, now i have to force my self to take a day off once a week because i feel great everyday and not hungover.

I lift through the week and take weekends off and i only drink on weekends so its never really effected me. Plus i only drink once or at the most twice a month so i guess moderation helps too.But for sure i get what your saying. I have tried to lift the day after a late night drinking and its like my energy is completely zapped.

Brian, Maybe you could do a video on how you used to set up your old Alpha-style full body workouts. I know those were the workouts that got many of us interested in your training all those years ago. It breaks tradition in so many ways and I think many people could have their eyes opened by it (insert, extract, full body, conditioning... craziness)

For reverse hypers, I use the dining room table, with a pillow for cushioning. (the way my table is constructed, I can set myself up over one of the legs, so the table doesn't break) I can't add weight, and I can't use momentum (without breaking the table), but I do get good traction, and I can get blood moving into the area, and inflammation moving out. If the back is feeling especially bad, I do one leg at a time until the area is warmed up. I don't know why, but that's easier on my back. I'll do these between every set on days where the back is especially bad. I do them to warm up, I do them to cool down. I do them if I've been sitting for a long time. I do them before bed. They are amazing. The other traction thing that has worked well for me is getting in a dip position where my legs can hang free (I use the rails on my stairs) and gently swinging my legs side to side - I'm not sure why this is different than hanging from my arms, but I get a lot of relief from this. I usually get cavitation in the sacro-illiac region. I only do this one if it feels like things are going to seize up. And the last unusual thing I do that helps my recovery, is loosen up my thoracic spine. I tend to go kyphotic, and that adds a constant tension that seems to slow recovery. I hope that will help some other old, broken guys.

I had a recovery session yesterday. I just did a C2 Rower for 45 minutes at a light pace and foam rolled. It helped my blood flow to do the cardio at a steady state. The foam roller just felt good. It's a viper foam roller that basically vibrates. But yeah man, good knowledge bomb you dropped on the masses. I don't hear people talk enough about recovery. Today I'm hitting squats, pull ups, bench press, deadlifts, and over head pressing along with some core work. I do my stuff in a circuit so my session should be quick and painful. Take care.

Hey Brian, just a quick suggestion. When you do videos like this where you are working through a number of steps or methods it may be appreciated to list those steps/methods in the description of your video in case someone wants to copy them down after watching (instead of searching through the video again to find them individually). It may not be much of a difference but to some it could be a nice touch. Keep up with the quality content man, it's greatly appreciated.

Love all of your videos Brian. What time do you personally go to bed/get up? Can you also please make a video about fixing an uneven bench set up? I find that when I set up for a bench press my back is party lopsided and it causes one side to take over almost completely (and fail) a bench. Any pre bench drills you would suggest for people in my situation?

Ice baths don't get a lot of love lately but I'm a big fan. Don't know if they help with recovery, but the tingly feeling after is fun, and I generally feel happy, relaxed, and energised after. Got to say I enjoy doing them as well as the effects. Ice showers... Same feelings after but far less enjoyable to do... I'd say if you can get your whole body submerged in the water ice baths are pretty nice, anything less though and they are grim.

Ice baths for the win. Although small tubs are a problem. This time of year a local swimming hole works well enough but make sure the car is warmed up. To go along with movement/decompression I like to do light swimming on my days off where I do large movements and stretches in the water. Also I find deep breathing necessary for holding breath underwater helps a lot. Great video I think active recovery and eating are way harder to keep in check then lifting heavy and punishing myself in the gym.

Breathing exercises such as Buteyko method and Frolov breathing device also help immensely with recovery, especially the more advanced you become with these techniques. Herbs like comfrey contain allantoin which helps the body regenerate cells quicker and therefore helps recovery. I personally take Suma root tincture, which also contains allantoin and natural plant steroids. My 2 cents...

Brian, there's another option for the ice bath. If you can get a pool, anything that'll hold enough water, invest in a pool chiller (see amazon). It'll set you back $2500, but you can get that water COLD relatively quickly. It's not ideal, but it's an option. Thanks for mentioning the lacrosse ball in a weight plate. This never occurred to me. I'll have to try it out. Looks awful, lol.

What about a 38 guy who only been lifting 18 months, 12 of those at planet fitness, how does that effect recovery? Lazy and fat until then. Still fat, but way less...lol. Now I looooove to lift. Into barbell training now. What are your thoughts on this kind of scenario. Usually it's guys that have been athletic to some degree. Was always a sitter and a thinker. I have now found my inner primate. Guys like you and Alan Thrall keep me educated and hungry at the gym. Much love.

Brian you should look into body tempering developed by Donnie Thompson. I promise it's worth the look. Just search his name on youtube and find a video where he explains it. Donnie is a retired power lifter and he was the first man to total 3000 lbs in a meet. He has developed several products for injury prevention and the body tempering will both prevent and rehab weight lifting injuries. I'm not trying to sell anyone anything with this post. Just trying to help.

I second the Donnie Thompson videos. His body tempering vids are great. He also has videos on exercises to do while hanging upside down from the bands. Another good resource is Coach Dick Hartzell, I believe he is the one that taught Donnie about the band exercises. I think he is also the guy that more or less invented "flossing" with bands.

Its same as myofascial release Brian discussed,the arguement is instead of foam rolling and moving your body around the foam roller,you use thier product which is a heavy metal roller and move it around your body .The stick shown is also known as boom stick developed by Donnie Thompson and Chris Duffin.

1. Hanging for spine decompression. Do you retract your scapula or just hang? 2. I've been wanted to do hot/cold shower for months now, but I didn't have the cojones ( just like after a cold shower! ) and tonight I did it, and I kind hate you. Love - hate relationship :)

As far as sleep; a word to folks like me who work the night shift and have to sleep in the day; you can either drop some good cash on some good blackout curtains or cut out some cardboard the same size as your window and put those on before you lay down. I find that the cardboard works better because it blocks out every bit of light, while the curtains are more aesthetic, even the best ones may leak out some light. Another good alternative is wearing a sleep mask. It may not be the most masculine thing on Earth but who cares if your getting the proper sleep and making huge gainz while you're at it.

Hi Brian! Big fan of your channel!! Quick question about decompressing your spine. I have some lower back trouble from a car accident I was in a couple years ago. We don't have a reverse hyper or anti-gravity, BUT we do have a machine to do back extensions, which I love. Is this a suitable replacement? THANK YOU, Maryland gal who lives in the North East now :)))

Great video, just left me with one question: Do you take the ice bath the day immediately after the heavy training? Does this not strain the muscle again?

Wait about an hour after training and no it doesn't strain anything

I didn't watch the video but I remember they've done studies showing ice baths actually hinder muscle growth.... "We found that cold water immersion after training substantially attenuated, or reduced, long-term gains in muscle mass and strength," Dr Roberts said. "At this stage we are unsure why cold water immersion had this effect, but a reduction of muscle blood flow could be one mechanism." (unless they reversed it since 2015)

Brian, haz a question for you. My right tricep near the elbow area is bothersome after most of my press days. I've had tricep tendonitis several times over the last year or two and it's annoying as hell. When I do bench, tricep extensions, or OHP, my right tricep is almost always feeling it first (I am right handed). Both triceps are dead even as far as strength goes and made several attempts to press up with both arms evenly. When I do try to stretch my triceps, I literally feel nothing. I'll get a nice shoulder stretch depending on the stretch. I've foam rolled my tricep too and no pain whatsoever. I've tried icing and compression sleeves. Any ideas what it may be? Glad to see your channel blowing up too.

The513Warning man i had exactly same thing...it is about year now and its still felling bad sometimes, but not much...what helped me: stretching it all the time, move it all the time (just do circles with hand or so), ambrosia (bee bread - its not honey but it is made by bees too and it have all the minerals and vitamins in it...), and collagen (in that little cubes)...good luck with it, its annoying as shit
