[@OmarIsuf]

Brian is back! What should he talk about next? Make sure you subscribe to Brian HERE: kzbin.info

[@jeremywinkler8275]

Really enjoyed Brian! I was wondering about some different ways to target my traps, aside from doing shrugs. Especially something that will target my lower and mid traps. Thanks for the content, Omar!!

[@roberta6360]

Awesome video Omar! If he hasn't already discussed squat routines programming (frequency, loading. front squat versus back squat etc. etc.) that would make a great video.

[@podcastmachine8617]

Robert A you read my mind

[@ramuloru]

I believe he did. There's a 3 part series where he discusses about Squat setup and cues. That's a great series.

[@roberta6360]

Hi Rama. Yes, I have watched that squat series, but I was hoping he might do a video on the actual squat routine, that is, number of reps, number of sets, length of rest period between sets, squat frequency, progressive loading etc. etc.

[@juanma4641]

I THOUGHT HE WAS GONNA FRONT SQUAT AND THE DUDE JUST PRESSES THAT OVER HIS HEAD

[@DCPNKIDS]

was pressing 400lb not good enough for ya?

[@juanma4641]

Exactly, how does that in any way say im not impressed

[@patootie3529]

+DCPNKIDS I think the way you understand things isn't good enough for ya.

[@zzz-jj6zh]

Juaske 28 It said push press. Why would you think he would squat it?

[@00Noontide]

Juaske 28 no joke! dude's strong AF

[@BrianAlsruheOfficial]

Thanks so much for having me on your channel brother!

[@OmarIsuf]

+Brian Alsruhe anytime man, you put out fantastic content and people should be Subscriber to you.

[@JordanWallac3]

i love you brain ballsblue

[@frenchbastard3869]

Brian your vids are awesome, tutorials are great, my breathing+braising is way better now since I surfed your channel and I started strict overhead press when I saw your last vid for Omar, making steady strength gain on it! Keep making vids!!

[@labtechtech]

Brian Alsruhe never heard of you until now but fuck you're a great communicator.

[@niceguy8323]

Crystal ball says: young, weak, does not lift. Well, maybe bicep curls...10 different ways.

[@pamexplorer]

Brian is the love child of John Cena and Chris Pratt.

[@predator1130]

Alex Moffitt I hate that I didn’t see this channel for years and this comment is golden

[@dwightcrichlow9274]

So trur

[@lolekbolek676]

Good guy Omar giving smaller youtubers some love

[@OmarIsuf]

The simple fact is Brian deserves more subscribers.

[@tonygillahan]

OmarIsuf 100%

[@r7yz]

smaller youtuber, big guy

[@davegotgamedavegotgame7137]

OmarIsuf not many know Brian but i do i watch him a lot he knows his shit..

[@davegotgamedavegotgame7137]

OmarIsuf what yall think about a kind of row i do i dont ever see anyone do is a wide grip rows..hits lats different and its good to change up at times i feel

[@TheOlzee]

Thanks to this I'm planning to do a 7 day rowing split.

[@HoustonJones]

Listen Omar, we need a jaw training guide. Who cares about having a big back when you can have a jacked jaw!

[@Umesh_singh23]

informative, precise and a pinch of effort less humor....Brian is the best out there....thanks man

[@Nicolas-zk7eq]

I don't know why, maybe it's just because he really deserves it, but everytime I see Brian get featured on a bigger channel, I'm in a super good mood. So happy that his channel is starting to grow! Keep it up, both of you!

[@aarond2753]

Brian is awesome. Thank you Omar for having him here again. I think he needs plenty of recognition for his channel. I barbell row every workout after my main compound for 3x10 at whatever weight I bench at the same RPE. If I benched 225 for 5x5 then I bb row 195 for 3x10 which gives me the same intensity but more volume on my back since I am trying to grow and increase my main lifts for my August meet.

[@randygentry1207]

Brian is a quality person.....I wish I was near his gym I would attend...Thank you Omar for giving this man the attention he works hard for his subs.

[@harryomalley4758]

Lovin' that Brian is getting more attention. Such a brilliant and underrated guy.

[@youssefalaoui4451]

man Brian is one of your best guests. easy to understand and fun

[@strengthteam8535]

Omar I can honestly say that your channel teaches me something every single video. Props bro, props "standing ovation"

[@derekelliott3756]

Ring finger BOR pull focus to engage the lats, that's some next level Alsruhe kick ass secret agent crap. Appreciate it, as always.

[@user-im9xq7fp5r]

Fast pace, to the point and fantastic insights!! I m 64 now, I trust pulling more than pushing, given good forms, no spotter needed. Keep up !! Thx

[@gregorybuttari849]

Barbell rows can't live without them .. my bench finally hit 405 today .the foundation work is v e r y important .. happy back .. happy shoulders and very happy bench .. pure and simple.. keep up the awesome work ..

[@AlexM-vt5pu]

Thank you John Cena.

[@miust]

Brian deserves the love, great informative videos

[@darkvalkyrienz8393]

Brian is a beast. Thanks for Introducing him to me Omar! You, Alan Thrall, Brian and alphadestiny are easily the best fitness channels!

[@chtdv]

I follow NEVERsate on instagram, but never expect this guy to be this humor, I like the way he talked and the advice he gave. Thanks!

[@jackcarter6629]

Doing weighted pullups first does makes the OHP smoother and doesn't effect the weight lifted in a negative way. Greases that groove I guess.

[@kakashihatake4180]

Left my broccoli on my plate today because you didn't remind me to eat my fuckin vegetables. Hey at least you put out some great content. But yeah I need that reminder Omar.

[@ront2457]

Thanks for the great vid. I have been doing my pulls directly after my pushes but just recently switched the order after watching a few Brian vids. Hard to argue with success...

[@chelseythomas388]

More Brian on your channel yes! He always has amazing videos with informative content!

[@EricBurbeck]

Wow, I really like Brian's style - seems like a really solid dude!

[@spy-py]

6:40 when he talked about rounded back i had to straightened my back for some reason

[@SUTTER03]

I really like this dude. He is a good talker and explains things well. Bring him back.

[@oxrjbizzle1984y]

bent over rows are definitely the most underrated compound lift, they just work everything and definitely seem to give me the best gains of all back exercises! great tips here!

[@BilingualCoco]

Wow incredibly helpful! Thanks guys. Wish I had watched this before my workout 2 hours ago haha can't wait to implement this info into my next session

[@todesbrot257]

I see Brian Alsruhe, I upvote!

[@marcsteubing5312]

Excellant video thank's for having Brian again. I cant get enough of hearing about Bench press but there are plenty of vids about that but enjoy that.

[@the1077936128]

This was awesome! By far the best back video I have ever seen, I learned much more than I thought I still had to learn. I feel like I can get a sick back now, thanks!

[@tobi97dk]

I f*cking love the bent over row, can't live without it

[@tserings2228]

I see Rows 101 but where tf is Calves 101

[@alkaeus]

but Omar doesn't know anything about that...

[@OmarIsuf]

+Tserings uhhhhhhhhhh, well you see.... *runs away*

[@mommozz123]

Omarisuf You can only do so much running with those calves of your's brah

[@GamingT0G0]

#fuckcalves

[@huycao9788]

The triple extension from his olympic lifting is working his calves. That's right, Omar started weightlifting to grow his calves on the sly.

[@frayedendz1]

This was GREAT information...Brians explanation is really awesome he does a great job and everything he says totally makes sense...plus hes strong AF soooo whats not to like! Any other videos by him would be great

[@tjsho417]

Awesome video!! Thank you Omar and Brian!! We want more collabs! Maybe a conditioning video (prowler, farmers walk, tire flips, etc)!

[@tylad98]

is it just me or does brian look like john cena?

[@MKAngeletti]

What's crackin' guys, Omar Isuf here, and today's video features the return of JOHHHHNNNN CEENNNNNAAAA

[@imRenzae]

More Brian! Brian has the best KZbin channel you've never heard of. Absolutely check it out! Good job Omar!

[@echosevanz2590]

Thanks Omar. I have implemented Brian's giant set routine into my training.You and Alan are great. This video helped. I will definitely be barbell rowing more frequently.

[@markymarkeaton]

Brian and Omar always put out the best content

[@BrianAlsruheOfficial]

Thanks so much Mark!

[@jakemshearman]

holy chicken nuggets, this brian dude is to the point! Love it when peeps explain stuff in simple terms for my very simple mind

[@wateringcan2]

Great video. Concise, to the point, full of useful info. Thanks!

[@adibee88]

This is AWESOME INSIGHT! Thank you for passing it on!

[@TheBesnokuce]

Yeah Omar if you could visit Brian or vise versa and get some footage that'd be great.

[@greenmamba93]

This guy is a boss...

[@jorgeegrojful]

Love Brian's channel, love your channel too, these videos make me so happy, you should have him over on this channel more!

[@YTho-ev1ej]

brians work is 10/10. he deserves more subs and gym goers deserve his excellent information.

[@ThatWalkingGuy]

I'm a simple man, I see an Omar and Brian video...I click it.

[@atgtooverhead7377]

[@saltycoke]

Underrated comedy in here plus awesome advice. Doesn't get any better!

[@spikeklein270]

Thank you, gentlemen, for this video. A couple of weeks ago I realized I needed to start taking the row seriously for all the reasons you mention in the video. Though I am currently inexperienced, everything you mentioned rings true to me. Cheers!

[@clifton6919]

Thanks for the vid and thanks for not feeling the need to drop f-bombs every sentence.

Brilliant, Iv followed you from day one Omar you are a great coach. All the best.

[@jt618]

Great tips, Brian! Working back today and inspired to add barbell rows to my workout. Thanks!

[@SausageDynamo]

hahaha i thought the thing in the thumbnail said "rows lol"

[@gabriel.hongkong]

That was a great video. Great work Omar.

[@jasonolszynski6406]

what else can I say but this was by far the best video about barbell rows and I can't wait to get rowing. thanks!

[@AziizNamantino]

row row row your back gently and heavy, merrily merrily merrily merrily make them all mirin.

[@fresnilo5554]

Well, better stop taking selfies between sets and start hiting the antagonist muscles.

[@deadnerdz6477]

That queue about pulling with your ring finger is probably the only good queue I’ve ever heard for using your lats more in a row and tremendously helped me activate my lats more

[@peterjames7052]

Great advice great content as always. keep it coming bro!

[@letsgonow1210]

Maryland represent! Oohhhverhead press, Ooohhmar lol

[@QQyoko]

BRIAN ALSRUHE SQUAD REPORTING IN MORE BRIAN IS BEST BRIAN

[@iAmJeffReYY]

awesome video/content, awesome new channel. thanks omar and brian

[@NeuroLifting]

Brian is the nicest and most humble guy on KZbin, You, Brian, Allan, Smelly & Alex (DA) are the best around.

[@alifazeli2783]

Wtf I swear this guy sounds exactly like Elliot Hulse

[@michaelthek9guy338]

Kind of. But Brian is also much more mentally stable and humble than Elliot lol

[@9300yt]

Ali Fazeli i love elliott for all this things he did in the years but... yes, brian is more stable than him now

[@juuuurgenful]

Yes, whenever I see a video with Elliott now it just makes me cringe....

[@EASY7356]

Except that Brian doesn't think he is Buddha 2.0 and just talks about lifting

[@alifazeli2783]

EASY7356 lol yeah Elliot isn't even relevant anymore in the lifting community

[@Sens23Bruins]

assmuff and assrule collab!

[@itsmrsoy]

Loved it Omar. I needed this - I am trying to fit rows into my Olympic lifting program to effectively increase size.

[@macromanager6380]

you been putting out some interesting and informative videos from other very educated people lately. keep it up

[@hnavarro9504]

Will you ever make another video about vegan diets and lifting? You know some very interesting vegan lifters, like captain planet, clarence kennedy and vegan gains. Would be great to see.

[@chiaroscuro9780]

Question Omar....some claim fasting (especially 24 hours) increases growth hormone production, sounds a little fishy to me, does this have any truth to it, if so is the increase that much of a difference maker?

[@thelastpigeon8098]

NUFCIvan I disagree IF( intermittent fasting) has been proven to increase HGH and insulin levels therefore increasing protein synthesis effectivety.

[@kyleolin3566]

I always superset antagonistic muscle groups, and am working on a workout plan based around the big 4. Must be doing something right. Thanks for the tips on form guys. Great video!

[@Xle19xAB]

Well damn. That's an immediate subscription. That's a ton of awesome info. Gotta try doing rows several times a week for a while.

[@TheRsEM]

Should beginners do barbell rows using tons of body momentum as Brian demonstrates here or rather do them as strictly as possible? I have no problems doing rows with 315 with momentum but even 180 as strictly as possible is very difficult for me at 147lbs bw

[@krakonoskraken8763]

TheRsEM do both

[@Kingofthekastle2210]

TheRsEM if you cant strict row 180 but can pull 315 using momentum youre using way to much fucking momentum. try to squeeze and just focus on a straight bar path and recruiting your back. not weight on the bar.

[@benjaminsmith2899]

TheRsEM Ive never used momentum in any lift and I was doing 225 by the end of my freshman year. Although I was always slightly more bent over than that, like when he was giving examples of different rows with 135. Maybe that made it easier.

[@PomboPierre]

Do them all

[@monkeyninja150]

i used to watch these videos like a religion and now that i have a herniated disk nothing makes me more sad

[@sKid-yn4no]

monkeyninja150 I used to get injuries like that a lot until I started stretching routinely.

[@antoncretu3545]

Eli if you stretch and all that, will it be under control? because I fucked my back up on squats.

[@jonnyboydickinson1914]

I feel ya pain dude. My lower back disc ( yet to be diagnosed ) is fried!!

[@davidarteagojr6226]
