Brian is such an inspiration. He eliminates every excuse you have.

[@artofnick]

and ones we probably never will have....... like worms

[@BrianAlsruheOfficial]

Thanks my man!

[@finneganeric383]

i guess I'm kinda off topic but does anybody know a good site to stream newly released series online?

[@karsynmathew5401]

@Finnegan Eric i would suggest Flixzone. Just google for it =)

[@kristianguillermo2795]

@Karsyn Mathew definitely, have been watching on Flixzone for months myself :D

[@zacharyjones5224]

I loved the background leap frog in the beginning of the video!

[@DojCity]

Keep it up! The improvements will keep coming. Also, POWER LEAPFROG

[@SofaKingCld]

I just wanted to take a moment and thank you for taking us with you on your journey of strength, sickness and recovery. A year or two ago i decided to get my life together and start taking care of myself and you were a huge inspiration for that, and i even stole some pieces of your free programs. I was overcoming anorexia, and for years and years i went days without eating, surviving on energy drinks and cigarettes. In those 18 months i was able to gain 45 pounds and completely change my mentality. Around 2 months ago i discovered that my years of self abuse had caught up to me and i had developed gum disease on top of a few teeth that were rotting away. I know that i did all of that to myself, i take full responsibility, but watching you never give up and push through your worst of days has truly helped keep my eye on the prize. Ive lost almost all of the gains i worked for, eating became quite difficult, but my surgeries and appointments are fast approaching and i cant wait to be able to chew food again and get back out there. Thank you again for the service you provide. You do more good than you think.

[@pouihurmen]

I love you man. One of the biggest inspirations ever. Wish you all the best

[@picklehaus864]

So awesome to see you bringing the POWAH! I'd be remiss in not mentioning that you SOUND better in each video and the editing is on point! Keep the content coming Coach

[@kevin_rsg_18_old]

Tip for your bands: try using a luggage scale or fish scale. They have a hook and will measure the force of the band resistance at various heights. Cheap ones like mine are $10 and measure 110lbs, heavy duty ones can be $50+ and measure 300lbs. ...if you are anal enough to know your exact band tension at top and bottom like me!

[@marshallplaisir509]

love how honest you are about your current training state! keep pushing man!

[@roycallahan2114]

Dude! Your voice!! It sounds like your a teenager again. AWESOME!!

[@PureBullFit]

I’m so happy to see you back at it man. I have never been what you’re going through but I do have to overcome the inertia of wracking chronic pain everyday to keep moving. You inspire brother, keep it up.

[@harrdawg54]

So, after watching this I realized how slow I move in the gym and applied the speed in which Brian moves to my workout today. I finished in half the time with better results in each set! Always learning, always getting better.

[@pjm_219]

You are killing these workouts!! No one watching these videos has an excuse to miss a workout. You continue to grind even when sick. I was watching an old video about the conjugate programming and your voice was super deep, the energy was so low and you looked unwell, but there you were still putting out good content. 👍🏻. Now compare your recent videos, where your energy is super high and you’re looking healthy; I’d say it’s a complete 180. You have shown great improvement. You are on the right track!!

[@harrdawg54]

Man! Always dropping a video right before heading to the gym. Thanks for the motivation and continuing to share your knowledge!

[@matthewpollard8570]

Real men let their weaknesses show and demonstrate how strong they can be despite them. I wish i could buy this man a beer and listen to his story.

[@hardcorebarbell]

Right!!

[@BrianAlsruheOfficial]

Thank you brother!

[@jennwall9373]

I don't know if this would work in the gym, but in my profession we put the date on new equipment when it comes in. Let's us keep track of what has the most wear and tear. Glad your on the mend, keep on keeping on!🙂

[@JUSTSOPISSEDOFF]

Brian, man, I really hope you're proud of yourself. You've dealt with so much shit, but you persevere. You're extraordinarily inspiring for someone just getting into strongman. Be proud of yourself my man.

[@undrachevr]

Glad to hear your doing better Brian.

[@mattbison1]

Great to hear that your recovery is progressing well. You're an inspiration to myself and many others. Keep up the great work.

[@xw2542]

Glad to hear there is some sort of progress, keep being great. You’re going to be back to you old weights and beyond very soon!

[@drewsmith275]

For the bands Alan Thrall has 2 different areas of bands, one area stretched old bands one area only pairs that are attached together, that would help eliminate the mismatched stretchiness of the bands.

[@rickcoyote2361]

The journey of a thousand miles, Brother...all is well. I believe in you. Shine On 🙏

[@grassman8684]

Welcome back. Keep pushing

[@michaeli6424]

Glad to see you getting better.

[@gjohnson5]

hope the puking gets better. The hyperbaric chamber seems to be working. unfortunately for people slightly older, healing may just take more time. keep working hard and I think things will get better

[@drummerguydw]

Always an inspiration, running my second cycle of darkhorse and I’ll admit, it’s one of more most fun yet hardest programs I’ve run but I’ve made amazing progress on it

[@tuxedo94]

its a personal record , you're the one that gives it value ,keep up the good work Brian you're progress has been an endless inspiration.also where did you get those hangers you were using for the weighted crunches? my grip seem to fail far before im done repping on the pullup bar

[@isaacjamesnorman]

You are so awesome! Ive got lots of great stuff from your videos and my lifting techniques have definitely improved from watching. So thank you so much!!

[@Chasetaylorlifts]

Dudes in the backround at 1:10 playing leapfrog lmao

[@Adamreynolds1217]

Brian writes leapfrog into most of his strength programs. Does wonders for the squat. Some call it a main movement.

[@Chasetaylorlifts]

@@Adamreynolds1217 who new a game could get you gains

[@bionicfactory1]

Feels good to know there's someone who sweats more then me while training

[@alanlawson6669]

Youre a savage Bri ! Always love the videos , hope you're keeping well!

[@chatttownsaint]

Always good stuff!

[@CarlosRamirez-we8zi]

Having the same problem some good days some bad mine started last October pneumonia then a month later around a month after the pneumonia respiratory failure my lost muscle size and strength😞 pneumonia is no joke!!

[@CooperCarr]

Ugh those zurcher squats...you're a beast man.

[@dougbeale4847]

Your a machine bro!

[@The513Warning]

Glad my favorite strongman is coming back and better! I also have a question for you, big guy. My obliques don't really respond well to tradition weight training and I don't have the core strength for more advanced moves like the windshield wipers. I do have a Rogue Strongman sandbag that's sitting at about 240-ish lbs. When I clean it and walk with it on a shoulder for about 20 feet, my obliques get hit so HARD. Do you have any other oblique variations? Keep up the amazing work too! You've motivated me so MANY times when times got rough.

[@BrianAlsruheOfficial]

Absolutely man, I did an entire video on oblique variations, just search my channel brother.

[@michaelrussell8189]

Love it man! Do you have any sandbag videos in the works? You've inspired me to make my own sandbag. It should be at or above my bodyweight like you've suggested and it's the best workout I've ever done. I just hope I'm doing it right to reduce my chances of injury. Would be great to watch a video dedicated to just sandbags. Great content as usual! Keep em comming!

[@BrianAlsruheOfficial]

I recently did a video about them covering how to pick them up. What else would you like me to show that you have questions about?

[@michaelrussell8189]

I guess I missed it. I'll have to look for it. Thanks man!

[@regstrength]

Hey Brian, I felt the same with the straps. I always seem to lock in a lot better with the one hand supinated grip in the deadlift compare to using straps with the double over hand grip. It tends to make me confused as to should I wear straps at all for it, especially when I do the rep deadlift event. I felt I am losing tightness as the rep goes if I went double overhand with straps, everyone seems to do better with it 😅

[@ShootLiegh]

Same here. I'll do mixed grip with the straps if I need them.

[@multicoloredwiz]

i love your gym full of ultra linebacker dudes. ... and then badass hat person

[@2fatforU]

Voice is sounds way better. Obviously you are getting better, glad to here it.

[@SmoKeYJoE024]

Brian, did you see Miles Spartan video? I thought it was pretty awesome. Good to hear you are feeling a little better. Keep up the hard work and thank you for another motivating video.

[@BrianAlsruheOfficial]

Yea man we hung out afterward

[@mattdouglas8900]

Brian do you think you would every be interested in collaborating with Alan Thrall and Barbell Medicine to write a strongman template for Barbell Medicine? I think that would be cool. I've ran your powerbuilding template in the past with great results and I am starting the BBM Powerbuilding II template today and they have a really cool approach to using technology to track progess and it would be cool to see a strongman-focused template on their platform. I don't want to insult the way you outline your programs, they are very good and I know you work hard on programming. BBM just has a cool template platform using Excel spreadsheets that track progress and log numbers and data. Glad you are feeling better.

[@BrianAlsruheOfficial]

With Alan Thrall, sure! Barbell medicine, no

[@Rob-du2fp]

I completely agree about deadlift grip. I have straps but never use them because I feel far better with a mixed grip.

[@chelseythomas388]

Strength is absolutely coming back!!!

[@quadrram3945]

hell yeah Brian!!

[@mr.d_88]

I cant wait to start back with bands in a couple weeks.

[@landerhendrickx3522]

Damn I’d like to see someone else try to perform this amount of work in the same timeframe and fail. (These were lighter weights compared to your PR’s) what a machine you must be in peak form. My bench press on monday went really well after watching your benching vid! :)

[@MustangSkar]

My biggest question, In the most serious way I can ask it. Do you know when they are goofing off behind you? or are they just being funny? Either way I like it. Adds to the video, Love you Brian. Stay Strong Brother, Rah.

[@BrianAlsruheOfficial]

I honestly learn about most of them while editing. I had no idea on this one

[@NorrinRadd64]

Brian, we have seen a few bicep/elbow flexor tears recently in stone lifting. Any chance you could do a 'how to' video on stone lifting highlighting safety in this area?

[@BrianAlsruheOfficial]

Already did my man!

[@NorrinRadd64]

@@BrianAlsruheOfficial My bad! I thought I had seen all your stuff. Thanks for the reply!

[@bishopm4401]

You seem to have so much more energy nowadays

[@strider5474]

That bromance from 1:06 to 1:26 in the background :D

[@BazarBG]

Hey Brian, at what percentage of your 1RM DL's you stop pausing? Is it beneficial to do it after 80% of 1RM, or just a unnecessary grind? Wish you all the best brother.

[@darkred4228]

So is this the sequence of the program- four days for deadlift/ overheadpress / squats and bench and you put two dynamic effort days after them( two more days for them in the same week)? Or you do dynamic effort days the next week?

[@BrianAlsruheOfficial]

Not at all. Just watch my conjugate video brother

[@oldrichsoman7010]

Brian is the beast! Has your wife Eastern European ancestors? Because Alena is quite common Czech name.

[@HenryMullens]

nice to see someone out there still hand washes their clothes

[@lukewitte2564]

First of I'm the same way on the Deadlifts I pull more with one hand over. Also Brain whats your advice on a person making massive weight cuts. For example I have decided to cut weight for a year and my upper body lifts have suffered, while my lower body lifts have started to come back. I currently set at 195 and a year ago I was at 290 and I feel like I have lost a lot of strength, so my question is should I just try to maintain my strength while I cut my final 20 lbs and then refocus on building after my last part of my cut?

[@BrianAlsruheOfficial]

If you are dropping a lot of strength then you are cutting the wrong foods out brother

[@msylcatac]

What bar are you doing those zerchers with? Axle?

[@TheShadoXxWAVE]

Brian do you think that clean off the chalk on bars is necessary ?

[@BrianAlsruheOfficial]

it definitely helps with rust but I rarely take the time to do it

[@TheBullshit2011]

That pose needs to be on a t-shirt

[@TheDecado316]

Any chance of you doing a video of the program you wrote for uncle nic? love conjugate. thanks

[@BrianAlsruheOfficial]

Nah man that was a personalized one that not much of the public could handle

@@BrianAlsruheOfficial LOL, sorry. Just curious because of the intro scene, with you wringing out your shirt, and then the later commentary about how hot it got. Glad to see you seem to be on the mend, though! You're definitely an inspiration, and I learn at least one thing from every single one of your videos, so thank you for that!

Anyone else's bar slipping out of their hands because of the heat (aka sweat on your palms) It's annoying, I use hookgrip, but I think my gym doesn't allow chalk

Grimm I go to one gym that has no chalk. I’ve wondered about trying liquid chalk and being discreet about it. But I just wipe my hands on my clothes which sometimes just makes it worse.
