Talking Strongman with Alan Thrall

[@AlanThrall]

Honored to be a guest! Thanks, Loz!

[@BigLozOfficial]

It was great to chat to you buddy. See you at Untamed Strength 2021 for that training session 💪🏽

[@takkie2089]

Alan is on?!? I guess this calls for...ONE THOUSAND LIKES!

[@jwally0423]

Love the interview! I could hear him talk all day about his time in the Marine Corps. Such a bad ass!

[@stray-wolf]

Hey, bro. Can you give me a spot?!?!?!

[@sambsialia]

Alan made my fave video of all time, “flippin’”.

[@legatrix]

Love how he says 'American football'. A thoughtful gesture for his international audience!

[@zfortyounce]

I thought the same thing. He was also converting pounds to kilos.

[@proboz]

Was a nice touch

[@jordan3192]

He could have said football I think everyone would have got what he was saying

[@ryan7775]

@@jordan3192 nope, football to the rest of the world is football. American football is something different

[@jordan3192]

@@ryan7775 I know pal but if a yank says he played football at school he’s going to mean American Football

[@paulfitzgerald762]

A collab I did not expect but am thrilled to see!

[@BR4INlessBRI4N]

Same man

Missed the chance to say thralled

True words

[@takkie2089]

A suprise to be sure. But a welcome one

[@richardburt3366]

*thralled

[@wesleyzepeda6759]

Definitely learned how to squat, bench, and deadlift from Alan.

[@jacobbornowsky4013]

He’s great at that

[@flippino35]

very useful videos indeed

[@NeverLuckyVic]

11:16 are you sure that tire was not... 1000 POUNDS?!?!?

[@Kirby12352]

Most ambitious cross-over event in history.

[@ShayanGivehchian]

lol i never expected for this to happen but i love it

[@jesseb.1909]

Alan is the reason I got into strongman. A real gem

[@geneharrogate6911]

Alan looks and sounds very happy and relaxed here. Loz seems to have that effect on his guests. Great conversation.

[@jasonlozano1638]

Need to have Adam Paul on next

[@bmstylee]

He's still busy interviewing people at Ultimate Strength.

[@adamrawlifting1904]

It’s amazing how Alan managed to turn some instructional training videos into such a hugely successful KZbin channel. Good for him! I hope your channel will enjoy the same levels of success Loz. I subscribed last year when you were putting out the Vlogs at Worlds Strongest Man and you really do put out some of the best Strongman content on KZbin. No click bait, no bitching about other athletes or federations, you don’t even make it about you most of the time, just good wholesome Strongman content. Thank you!

[@proboz]

Absolutely! Always insightful, gives perspectives from all facets (coach, athlete, promoters, spectators etc), no drama, very eloquent, and always has fantastic interviews. Best strongman channel on YT.

[@josephaugustinerhodenhiser1353]

Chad Wesley Smith would be an interesting guest.

[@dagoberttrump2935]

You need to get the one and only Kazmeier on the Show! Please make it possible🙏🏿

[@diaz6884]

That would be awesome!

[@hockeyfreak896890]

What I love about Allan is that he is REAL. He tells it like it is. I love the no bs attitude. He's lived the life and put in the work. He commands respect. Very good teacher and great motivational speaker.

[@orcsworthliftenbard1440]

This podcast is what happens when an unstoppable force hits an immovable object 🤟🍻

[@Jamesy-kp4tu]

I’ve learned so much from Alan’s channel I always recommend it to anyone I know who’s starting to lift

[@CaustinSutton]

Hell yes!!! So glad you got Alan on. I can't wait to listen.

[@zfortyounce]

Strongman kind of reminds me a little of the UFC in terms of evolution. They both started out as spectacles and slowly become more legit sports by incorporating more standards and rules.

[@odn7769]

Honestly I think UFC become more and more to a show contest. But I agree that its completely a sport event now.

[@conortoms9575]

The man just owns the gym that everybody who loves strongman wants in their home town. I gotta drive 40 mins to my nearest strongman gym in dumfries called "burns gym" if you've been ?

[@daveaglasgow]

They had to call it burns gym if it was near the Friars Carse lol

[@austenberry1558]

YES I can't believe you got alan on here. Your presence in strongman is getting bigger by the day loz!

[@Fortress333]

Alan Thrall is the man I advise people to listen to and watch on KZbin if they want to learn how to perform the basic lifts. His tutorials are second-to-none, his knowledge and presentation skills are amazing, and I just have never seen him inflate his ego onscreen or peddle BS. Alan Thrall is the real deal.

[@olemartin1650]

Got a notification about this video. I started yelling YEEEESSS!!! 😂😂 Alan Thrall has taught me more about training for weightlifting and strongman then anyone. Having him on this show is awesome!

[@odn7769]

I watch the 10.000s calories a day videos since they came out every few months again and they become never less funny :D

[@proboz]

56:30 Totally agree. Thor retired, Martins is out. Big deal. Still have a prime Mateusz, prime Luke Stoltman, Tom (looks tremendous compared to last year), Richardson (fresh off Europe's), Singleton (who looks fucking ridiculous lately), Bishop (running high off his British win), Novikov (explosive and hungry), Shivlyakov (always a threat to split up standings), Janashia (who's dangerous when healthy) and JF (Mr. Consistency). You can't tell me the field isn't fucking stacked this year.

[@steveunderwood8145]

My two favourite KZbinrs in one place! So flaming excited.

[@utgardkraft1412]

Wow great! Alan was a real influence for me getting into strongman! Fantastic man!

[@shiverr1337]

I was about to suggest interview with Alan since I saw Loz's likes under Untamed Strength ig profile. I'm thrilled to watch it! Or Thralled?

[@accountname1047]

I like the Strongman Roulette Competition idea, a winner would have to be more well-rounded than in WSM, and wouldn't spend any of their training trying to optimise for any subset of events so might ultimately get more from their training

[@andytuck99]

super excited about this one

[@Osafune2]

Digging the Only Fools and Horses mug that Loz has

[@andrewchristie2713]

the Thrallster.......wasnt expecting that......... loved that

[@Galahad-uk]

YEAHHHHHH TRAIN UNTAMMMEEEDDDDDDD

[@alboboxer22]

His videos help me with my back 💪 Any luck with benedikt magnusson ? Best brain to pick on

[@quelandil5738]

Up with you. Interviews with bennie are always a blast

[@darkkyngaming]

Alan is a great guest, I'm so glad you had him on. I've been subbed to his page for a while and he has great content and advice. Add me to the legions who wish his gym was in my area.

[@kingkobashi_kisenosatoichi5592]

I loved Alan story ^^

[@joshharrison11]

Awesome interview

[@mattbison1]

Fantastic, I am really looking forward to this one. Alan has always been entertaining and informative. Great get Loz

[@billf9526]

Watching as I comment... I'm interested to see. Thanks Loz! I've seen some of Alan's videos but haven't seen enough to understand where he's coming from so I expect this to be even better... hearing directly from a person rather than judging. I'll took some of his content on the surface as not holding strongman and powerlifting in very high regard, but I could be wrong, so now I will learn... Marine - stock just went way up... Loz mentioned Alan's "1995" video... this was one I saw and just learned I took wrong. You learn something every day... I just wish it wasn't so often... Anyway, I always look forward to your content, and come away learning a lot. This was no exception. This was great and you've given me new eyes to see Alan through. Thanks for that Loz. As always, a great video. And it's time to go and watch more of Alan's content, too. Keep 'em coming!

[@brycewilson]

Can't wait for this, love Alan

[@davidfindlay878]

What a fantastic interview! Two of my favourite KZbinrs - both dedicated, hard-lifting strong men - focusing on the the FUN of strength training. Outstanding! Another coup, Loz.

[@hockeyfreak896890]

This is why I respect you so much Loz. You really know this sport inside out and represent the entire community rather than just focus on the heavyweight open class. Love it.

[@tmmjppsn]

Great episode Loz!! Love Alan's channel. Would be amazing to see Brian Alsruhe on here too. Keep up the great work!!

[@gainster98]

Loving these podcasts!💪🏻

[@illuminatiCorgi]

Phhawww this was a good surprise 😐🔥

[@spikethebulldoghackett70]

WSM should tell what events and weights they are doing, BUT every strongman should be progressively getting stronger in , squat, bench, Deadlift, pressing, yoke, farmers and truck pull.

[@Peter-ie6jl]

Finally got around to listening to this in full, have been intending to for weeks. Really enjoy listening to just casual chat between two educated guys who love training, both just sharing opinions & ideas without one talking over each other etc. Refreshing. This was a good podcast.

[@ansmi4732]

2 of the few people I follow on here. Top guys!

[@simondean5227]

A very unexpected but welcome interviewee :)

[@joel5956]

It's weird that they clear the marines out of the Camp David gym for the president. I feel like no president steps out of Air Force One like "Get these grunts out of here because The Eagle has landed and he needs all the plates for his deadlift!"

[@jarrydsavage7547]

Absolutely loving the guests you been having on loz. Great to hear the diverse and different lives of everyone with that 1 common thread bringing everyone together, Strongman. Top job loz

[@brencelt]

Cracking bloke to have on 🙏

[@neildouch944]

Alan has always been a joy to watch. Very informative and down to earth but also entertaining. Thanks Liz and Loz 👍👍

[@mprovin7320]

no fucking way wtf this is the collab ive been dreaming about

[@manuelnaim9206]

I'm getting addict to this channel, mi dream of became a strongman is coming back... thanks

[@tomdavies9144]

Two great personalities of strength

[@yeah5874]

Alan has really opened my eye to strongman stuff, i always sort of thought you had to be this huge muscle machine that can benchpress a bus to do it, but its sort of made me realize that hey, you can do all of that stuff, you dont have to do a 500kg farmers walk to have fun, sadly theres not a single strongman gym where i live :( nothing even close

[@marcusorillius6971]

Very very happy you got Alan on!!!👍👍👍

[@fitlikemin3598]

Up there with my favourite guests you’ve had on, he tells a great story of how he got into strongman and his time in the marines. Really enjoyed listening to this

[@maozali9202]

Love the content you're putting out! My favorite KZbin channel these days

[@messerryan93]

2 of my favorites! Loving these interviews loz!

[@ryanwilliamson9126]

That was a great podcast. By far my favourite yet and I've watched all of yours Loz. Would really like you to discuss more about ways of training with people. Really interesting.

[@TheKruxed]

I haven't watched this yet but if you're branching out try and get Eric Bugenhagen on your show, dudes as strong as they come and has a huge personalty but probably completely unknown to alot of people in the strength game

[@drealboy_]

Well, this sure was a pleasant surprise !

[@RobMoody3D]

This is what I needed this morning

[@johnmadison4040]

Excellent collab! I have been waiting for someone in the Strongman world to create a channel like this. Excellent work Loz!

[@paulharland2238]

Another excellent interview. Honest / Open, no bull! 👌

[@bobqzzi]

Great interview. I am a big fan of you both

[@Brandon-bl8ko]

Great to see thrall on the channel. keep this great content comin Loz!

[@gabrielpichorim8191]

Interesting point. WSM should make sure both kinds of strength are tested every year: - Second event in the heats should be kept secret, using an exclusive awkward set up for that year only (Natural unbalanced log, Odd stones without tacky, Mas wrestling, Random historical feat of strength, Old WSM events from 80's, maybe even heavy shot puts for distance...). Natural brute strength wins, you can't really prepare for it, nobody knows how to approach the implement or the right technique. - Second event in the finals should be a standardized strongman event for max weight, 3 attempts per athlete. Athletes should know about this event much earlier than all the others and with all the details of the set up so that they are 100% ready for heavy weights and their bodies are ready to sustain it without injuries. Most of the times this should be a static event, but once in a while a very heavy moving event for small distance would be interesting (lift is good once 4 meters are completed without stopping the truck/farmers/yoke..., athletes choose the weights). Tests maximum strength potential. Other events should not be standardized and athletes should know what the events are, but not every thing about the set up, so that they prepared but also rewarding the one who adapts better

[@allismg5691]

wouldn’t even know what tf strongman is without alan thrall, great listen 👍

[@paske1924]

Great interview. Enjoying it quite a lot. Glad to have found this chanell.

[@Juliussmoothie]

This was a nice surprise, Alan Thrall is cool ive been subbed to him for a while, seeing big loz training in his gym and Brian Shaws gym one day would be pretty cool!

[@hendrikmostert3305]

Wow, didnt expect to see my man Alan on the show! Thanks a lot Loz! And thanks to you as well Alan!

[@mikeivancevic9690]

We used to make atlas stones by using ab balls, wrapping them in plaster, cutting a hole in the top and filling with concrete and lead. Brutal implements that would tear us up.

[@tonymurphy9708]

I started gong the gym for the "normal reasons"- get rid of the flab and actually be able to fit into clothes. So a few months of cardio and then got a trainer- onto General Fitness, which was hard. Then I noticed those nice big black wheels in "the other section" The minute I picked up a barbell , was hooked. 58 years old, one busted shoulder, two very dodgy knees and a 20 cigar a day habit was possibly not an ideal start point? I now just love to Deadlift..... My (new ) girlfriend appreciates the buns of steel. I still smoke 20 cigars a day, but God I am Happy. Love Alan's videos because its just plain Fun.

[@getstrongby4038]

Well I didn't see this coming, Alan is one of the few no nonsense youtubers

[@cardsmn2]

Love this guys videos has taught me so much thanks uncle Loz you legend!

[@ribses]

Great guy is Alan, thanks for this

[@davidmoran3204]

Another great person and story to hear , love listen to how people started and the journey, also hope you get down to 140kg for 2021 and maybe see a return , would love to see you train with the stoltman brothers ❤ can only help the three of yous 😉 😀

[@Cutter_Number_30]

Loz I'm betting your outsider for wsm this year is a certain Mr Caron mark my words when that video comes out. As well as that this was such a wholesome video. You both show perhaps the best sides of strongman and even just training in your insights and stories.
