I have trained daily for 35 years...seen all the trends and info come and go...every so often a piece of info is presented in a way that can be helpful to implement for positive growth in your training. This was well presented and I advise any young lifters to take the advice given in this presentation...well done

Today was supposed to be a max triple squat. Welp that changed now didn't it?

[@zaidhamdani4375]

@@bmstylee I had a heavy single on dead...but I wasn't feeling it today...could only do 425

[@bmstylee]

@@zaidhamdani4375 I had a heavy double. Wasn't feeling super for it. I had a number in mind and mised by 10lbs. 445x2 @ 10. I have to keep telling myself that the number of people who pull over 400 isn't as much as the interwebs would lead you to believe. Way to many people on way to many drugs make you believe 5-6-7 is now just normal. People have lost grip with reality and how heavy shit can be. Brian once said if you can bench 300+, squat 400+, and deadlift 500+ you're probably not the strongest dude but you aren't weak.

Love all your content. But was wondering if you could do a video on what’s going on with the gym and is the old crew ever getting back together. Was just great to see the community you all had together.

[@carsons5750]

From an AMA he did on Reddit “Man, I still see a LOT fo the NEVERsate crew weekly man. Everyone is doing great but sadly with the closing of the gym, everyone had too get real jobs so there is always adult complications haha. As far as reopening...We originally shutdown mainly so I could focus on my heath and not dying. Then the pandemic was the pandemic and when we tried to reopen, we just couldn't do what we do with the restrictions. It was absolutely heart breaking and I am not one to hold onto things if they are not high quality. So we shut down to the public until further notice. Honestly, I don't know if we will ever re-open. I still do some side coaching and of course a LOT of online programming but the schedule I was running in order to do the full time brick and mortar gym, plus the KZbin, plus my online clients was unsustainable. two things I do know though are that if I don't keep my heath first this time, it will never work and will fail quickly. and secondly, you can't put old things into new containers and expect them to be the same. If I tried to do what I did before, it would fail. It would need to be a new idea entirely with a new focus with new impossibles to break. I am just not sure if that is the direction I am headed in or should go in. Time will tell I suppose.”

[@thomasstansfield5544]

This clicked for me when I started doing speed days and started doing very light weight, about 50% of max, as fast as I could. Now I'll do a quick set of fast reps between my heavy sets when I feel like I've lost it and it clicks me right back into that groove. Thanks for the videos!

That drill at 2:50 is awesome man. 500 comin soon, thanks for the great content as always

I know Alena knows what you're doing, but watching you pick up that box while she's working out is just funny to me. Great video!

[@kensven5308]

I've heard people describe how to do the deadlift that way, but you showing @2:53 was really ingenious.

Brilliant, I’ll go and pick up my partner now. Pumped for the return of the log cabin!

Holy cow. Thank you for that. I always have that visual when I bench, like the bar doesn't move but I do and that makes sense. I've been struggling to get it when I deadline, trying to think of too many things at once. Much appreciated.

[@philcloutier6515]

Dude you gave me the apiphany that fixed my deadlift and my spine! Thank you!

[@Ballistichydrant]

I initiate with my quads. Accomplishes the same thing for me.

[@MtlCstr]

I just tried this and it really helped. I have the problem where I lift my butt too quick and swing the bar forward as I lift. It wasn't perfect out of the gate, but thinking of pushing the world away really helped.

[@jayn8392]

Dude you always give such great advice. I have learned more about technique from your channel than anywhere else. I have heard other people give similar advice, but the way break everything down is EXCELLENT. Thanks for all the free info man, and I hope you're feeling good these days.

[@adnanahmed9044]

I always wondered why the movements of the stone lifts and deadlifts by the same people looked different..good points.

Great video! Pushing the world away seems easier to do for me during deadlifts than it is on squats given my DL is about 70 kgs more than my squat lol

[@hansnordby6932]

Always great advice! Brian you are the first person I ever heard this tip from and it really works for me. Especially to keep my butt down and low back from curving!

[@ThomasSFH]

Thanks for the tips Brian... I have been stuck and not being able to get over 280kg/617lbs for several years now.. everytime I think I have gotten stronger I fail again and again. I will try to focus more on the legdrive/worldpush on saturday to see if I can make the switch flip in my brain... Again thanks for these awesome videos, and should I suddenly do a PR I will let you know :-)

It's deadlift day for me as well. I just ordered a trap bar from BOS. I was wondering about how many different deadlift variations sets and reps can be performed on deadlift day? I mean without running into the phenomenon of diminishing returns. I'm in preliminary phase training now. I'm doing sumo deadlifts with kettlebells. I'm gone a need a bigger squat rack to perform that band work.

[@skipmilligan]

I looked down to read the description. When I looked back up You were lifting a human ball. Hahaha. Good times, great tips...*edit* Not sure why I wasn't subscribed, I am now. I loved the log cabin videos and bushcraft tips.

More good stuff Brian, thanks mate. I’ll give that band trick a go. By the way, do you ship t shirts to to the UK?

[@boogiessweatbox4317]

Hey Brian, can you talk about gripping the bar...for example, I'm going paranoid about bicep tears, but my setup and deadlift in general feel so much better with mixed grip in comparison to hook or straps...that just takes too long..thx in advance. David

[@drschwandi3687]

I have a really hard time implementing this. My lower back takes over in the lift.

[@aaronhaskins1571]

Just got back from the gym after trying this. My previous PR was 355 I got 375 for a single just now.

[@danielsanders6703]

Would you suggest doing banded, compound movements whilst warming up to your top sets of a free weight lift in order to pull heavier weight more explosively?

[@andrewjames5365]

Any station any outpost...if conventional deadlifts are an anterior loaded exercise and high bar squats are a posterior loaded exercise well then dag nab it where is the trap bar loaded during deadlifts? My guess...across the frontal plane? cheers

[@mattpeterson7074]

I'd like the official name of the exercise at 1:36? Person Sandbag Lifts? Haha... I did a triple take before I finally realized that was a person and not a goofy looking sandbag.

Just a random note: it would be nice to have the titles for multi-part video series to follow a similar format so it's easier to find the next part Good tips all around, the first two I'm pretty decent with but this third one is definitely my weak point.

Hey Brian ! I know you factor in “conditioning “ into your work outs almost everyday , I was wondering whether you also do conditioning even on your heavy lifting days ? And also “conditioning” to you is just another way of getting cardio vascular work into your work out with out really sacrificing heaps of time right? Or do you do cardio even at different times to your conditioning work? Cheers

I spent the last 8 months not deadlifting and only lifting heavy sandbags almost every day and on the weekend I decided to test my DL to see how much weaker at it I had gotten and I actually was able to lift 40 lbs more in the 4-6 rep range than I could before. Weird but it worked for me.

[@Hankola]

Throw a bumper plate on the bar, and sit on your heels. The bar should levitate off the ground. That's been my success cue for years.

[@BrianAlsruheOfficial]

Can you do that with 600+lbs?

[@Hankola]

@@BrianAlsruheOfficial The point is to feel the weight on your heels. In my case, with 645 pounds, you're pulling the slack out of the bar with a loaded posterior chain.
