The 5 lessons I learned from Alan Thrall of Untamed Strength

[@AlanThrall]

Thank you, Joey. #1 is key

[@AlexCWill]

I feel like Alan, Brian Alsruhe and Joey all give off the same vibe and it’s that the basics work. You never see them say anything absurd when it comes to advice… and they all just seem like good people. In an age where people glorify the aesthetics brah movement and neglect building the foundation, people like them are essential

[@Qwerty8790]

Facts

[@steezyg23]

Aesthetics brah machine bros

[@jgbecker24]

Couldn't agree more.

[@SzatStrength]

means a lot, thank you! I always aim to be authentic and real with y'all.

[@jodencro]

Truth

[@BasementBrandon]

2 good dudes

[@SzatStrength]

[@BasementBrandon]

@@SzatStrength always dude. Looking beefy.

[@Massenomics]

Also both Massenomics Podcast vets… so you know they are men of character.

[@icholas1527]

I found Barbell Medicine a few years ago through Alan and those guys have totally changed the way I think about my training and health in general, pretty grateful for that.

[@SzatStrength]

absolutely, they put out good informative content!

[@k8con]

same!!

[@jodencro]

Alan taught me that not every tire is 1000 lbs.

[@SLouiss]

Alan thrall taught me how to get over back pain.

[@SzatStrength]

HUGE!!!

[@jgbecker24]

Please do a similar video about you and Alsruhe Joey! You guys are great

[@SzatStrength]

What is your favorite Alan Thrall video?

[@enigmatic7665]

Him competing in a weight class he stood no chance in just for the fuck of it.

[@What-he5pr]

The one where he explains "train untamed"

[@LatimusChadimus]

Good question. Probably his gag reel with Zack Tall-ander

[@MB-ob6ye]

The power lifter “tight” video

[@BasementBrandon]

Dreadlift

[@tonycrispin]

We need more videos of you both together. Alan is great!

[@SzatStrength]

working on it!

[@Heavyork]

Alan Thrall's intro is just so good. I found your channel by following him ;)

[@SzatStrength]

hes the man! Love the intro and outro haha.

[@theparadisesnare]

Alan's practical advice about lifting and nutrition has prolly helped keep me grounded the most while i've been losing weight and reclaiming my life and fitness. Super grateful

[@brooksboth6219]

I probably couldn’t squat near what I do now without Alan’s videos back in the day

[@SzatStrength]

that's awesome!

[@k8con]

learned how to squat/bench/deadlift through alan thrall's videos four years ago. i just squatted 297 lbs at RPE 8 last week!!! Gonna try for 300 this week, which feels like a major success to me. eternally grateful for him (and the way that he lead me to barbell medicine)

[@rydoes1225]

#2 I think is something that I've found whenever I trend towards it, my strength continues to progress. I've found similar results with my clients.

[@usamakhanfit]

Very wholesome video, love both your channels

[@McMeatBag]

I found Alan through Omar, and you through Alan. The circle of youtube fitness.

[@finallychangedthis]

Hard to say if I have a favorite video, I just love Alan’s content and training mindset, and my absolute favorite thing about him is that he is humble and more than willing to change his opinion as he learns. For a while I thought he was one of the only ones, but it makes me happy knowing there are lots of guys out there like Alan (albeit not as popular as some other fitness guys) If I had to pick a video I enjoyed the rawest squat in history

[@phillipwiebe8607]

Alan's information has been awesome. I'm glad I found both of you

[@Exodus26.13Pi]

That music is so good and loud I kept hearing someone mumbling

[@werdnaevol1]

Thanks for the pain and injury comprehension of what to analyze. I feel like that type of stuff doesn’t get talked about enough.

[@lanierwexford2582]

I met you through Juji, I subscribed to you becat of the liver video. I dig your vibe. Stay AWESOME.

[@DadLifting]

Meeting you guys both two years ago at the Lions Den was a magical day for me, you guys are inspirational! 👊🏼

[@SzatStrength]

It was such a fun day wasn't it?!

[@TheTenCentStory]

He taught me how to cook.

[@everettza]

Beat me to it

[@SzatStrength]

hes becoming quite the chef

[@PunchNugget]

can relate so well to this

[@ev721]

Love me a good Bromance. That was beautiful

[@SzatStrength]

thank you, juji is next =]

[@taylortait1]

Love the section on specificity

[@SzatStrength]

as do i!

[@porqpine53]

Amazing to me that people on this channel haven’t heard of Alan Thrall! Let’s get that man and his evil twin Adam Paul to 1M!

[@notsure1276]

I live in Sacramento but have not trained in his gym. I will have to check it out.

[@TheMatt0985]

You should man. It's a great gym and it's full of really supportive people.

[@JaMeshuggah]

Go for it.

[@SzatStrength]

100% check it out

[@weekendthreat5576]

"The 5 lessons I learned" sounds like Alan has passed and you'll never get to learn anything from him again. Don't scare me like that! "The 5 Lessons I've learned" leaves the door open for more learning in the future!

[@SzatStrength]

HE WILL NEVER PASS!!!

[@Gurtderpson]

I think Alan should pick up a part time job at a train station, so he can announce when trains are on time

[@Azazel47]

- What did conductor Thrall say when they arrived on the station on schedule? - TRAIN ONNNNN TIMEEEEEEE!

[@ianslusher9173]

Fantastic video! RPE was a game changer

[@Massenomics]

Good vibes with Big Joey & Big Alan

[@chadstrickland2389]

Love that guy.

[@benwhite2795]

RIP headphones users when that title intro sound blast comes on.

[@alvinbailey8022]

This was a great video! I must having been living under a rock, but I will now be watching Alan’s video’s! Also very educational, I’m gonna start focusing on core lifts a little more.

[@everettza]

He taught me to not train in a tamed manner

[@mikeross5627]

⬆️This😂👌

[@SzatStrength]

this is true!

[@jeremyjarvis8100]

The metal Viking warrior himself. Alan Thrall!

[@KoolAidMan7981]

Dont Move The Barbell!

[@SzatStrength]

DON'T!!!!!

[@kmay6983]

What are your thoughts on Adam Paul? I much prefer Alan myself.

[@SzatStrength]

hes a character. I like him!

[@robertcrompton2733]

What? Nothing about Hydro-20?

[@e.e.8589]

I ❤ Alan When did he get so many followers?

[@zfortyounce]

This is all good and well. But the real question, what did you learn from Adam Paul?

[@enigmatic7665]

Did he teach you how to grow a beard?

[@SzatStrength]

Maybeeeeeeeee

[@j24601]

99% of the things that I know about strength training and technique I learned with Alan.

[@unciePaul]

more importantly though, what have you learnt from Adam Paul?

[@scooobyj8714]

You should take Allen with you next time you do a collaboration with JUJI!!!!!!

[@SzatStrength]

I'm sure they will meet at some point.

[@nergal2931]

That would be too much hair for one video.

[@WolfgerSilberbaer]

I still don't understand RPE. Number 1 thing I learned from Alan: Do NOT. Move. The barbell. (because seriously, I never did a deadlift before)

[@ziobersan]

This video popped out and I think I should say that. Alan taught me how to find work/life/training balance. Simple man with rules and consistency. I dont gonna lie. He is kind of role model for me. Showing people how to act smarter. I know you from Juji and Alan collabs but to be honest never dig into your channel. Its time to catch up.

[@Eyembig2]

"...tastes like ass" OMG LOLOL!! Epic.

[@SzatStrength]

haha

[@meghdaniellama1604]

Is it train on time or train untamed?

[@mattturner3696]

First lesson learned: Do not move the barbell.

[@PunchNugget]

who?

[@heyman8820]

It's such a shame about Alan. I hope he gets better soon.

[@What-he5pr]

I wish Alan wasn't a Californian.

[@SzatStrength]

same.... same....

[@randygentry2442]

“Ass To Grass Sir”

[@SzatStrength]

of courseeeeeee

[@DUSTINKENNEDY383]

[@OrbvsTomarvm]

[@SzatStrength]

[@OrbvsTomarvm]

@@SzatStrength lol

[@watsonkushmaster3067]

man whats up with that music lol

[@LatimusChadimus]

I absolutely abhor sour cream

[@SzatStrength]

haha definitely took me off guard.

[@bluedogguy]

Was this serious Alan, or funny Alan? Because I miss the funny Alan.

[@SzatStrength]

hes always funny, and sometimes serious.

[@Gym-Girls]

cool bromance content

[@SzatStrength]

nothing like a bromance to feel the romance

[@cam9144]

Biggest lesson learned from Alan Thrall, how not to grow a beard.

[@domepiece11]

I disagree on the stance on pain. Read Rebuilding Milo written by the Squat University guy. Joint pain points toward a mechanical problem, whether that is poor technique, a mobility limitation, or an injury. We need to stop normalizing pain. Listen to your body - it’s trying to tell you something. I ignored minor pains for years and now I have permanent back damage. That ain’t psycho-social. I believe Knees Over Toes Guy would agree as well. Don’t ignore it, address it. Your body will be better for it.

[@weightman18]

I would encourage you to watch the barbell medicine views on pain, and check their sources too, before you make assumptions about their material. Pain does not always equal damage, and you're probably a lot less hurt than you might think you are.

[@steezyg23]

@MEAT BASED VEGAN not wrong
