TRAIN: ZERCHER PR + HEAVY DEADLIFTS

[@LatimusChadimus]

I'm a morning lifter. I wake up, use the restroom, hang on my pull-up bar for about a minute, grab a band and go outside to watch the sunrise doing things to warm up my shoulders and hips which includes a deep squat I hold anywhere from 5 minutes up to 9 minutes then once the blood settles down I start lifting or running

[@BrianAlsruheOfficial]

Thanks for taking the time to answer brother

[@BrianAlsruheOfficial]

I really appreciate you saying this, my friend!

[@NotMe-ic2ns]

I work 2nd shift, so right now it’s convenient for me to work out after work, around midnight.

[@BrianAlsruheOfficial]

I am envious! But what you’re doing is very smart with your work schedule

[@notreallyeric]

Due to work I used to be an afternoon (2-ish) lifter. I actually hated working out in the morning BUT, it’s been morning workouts for the last decade and now I prefer it. I’m dead the rest of the day, but it’s better especially when you get older. I don’t usually promote someone’s stuff (pay me right?) but , if you’re on the fence about getting any of Brian’s programs, do it. I’ve completed his mass builder and RPM programs. They are NO joke, but great programs. They will kick your a$$. They will also get you in great shape. I just completed the RPM program and next on deck is the scaled power builder. I can’t wait. So get a program; they’re inexpensive and work. Go! Go order now!

[@BrianAlsruheOfficial]

I totally get that and I really appreciate you leaving such a well thought out comment brother

[@notreallyeric]

@@BrianAlsruheOfficial thanks , still had to edit cuz I’m bAd At SPelLiNg lol

[@GrenadeGrips]

I'm a noon/midday lifter, work from home so it's easy. Late night sessions sound like a blast, but my wife is an early bird so she's in bed before I would get down to the gym. As far as Zerchers/yoke carries, the thicker axle bar doesn't feel bad in the crook of the elbow, standard Oly bars are murder. Yoke carries are kind of a "take a deep breath and pray your don't black out" kinda thing. Great for building a strong Conans Wheel foundation (if you're ever presented with it).

[@BrianAlsruheOfficial]

See, I don’t really feel that much of a difference between the axle and a barbell. I just don’t like the knurling on the Barbell, that’s why I go for the axle so I don’t get all caught up. But really great and thought out answer brother thank you for loving it!

I hope your shoulder is able to recover to 100% quickly.

Thank you very much! I really think it will

[@jamiejones-m9s]

4:30 am for 4 yrs now at home. Feel like I’m getting a jump start on the day. Things don’t really pop up that early like they do later in the day. Also, doesn’t take away time from the family. Thanks for keeping this channel clean and making it easy to recommend to others.

[@SentientVoyager]

I'm a morning lifter. During the weekdays i start at 5:30am to get my workout in before work. Saturdays, usually start around 8am.

[@BrianAlsruheOfficial]

Awesome, and thank you for taking the time to answer the question my friend

[@williamroberts4569]

I work out in the evening after work. It works better for my families schedule. It's going to be a while before i get back to it. My leg was crushed by a forklift at work. Im sorry hear that your shoulder is giving you problems, but I enjoy seeing you putting in the work.

[@BrianAlsruheOfficial]

I appreciate the kind words, brother and thank you for the well thought out comment

[@NIKOA53]

QOTD: Same as you, love that time between 23:00 and 01:00 but using a commercial gym that's damn near impossible so I'm just there as late as I can right before closing time (been asked to leave because they need to close more than a couple times lol)

[@BrianAlsruheOfficial]

I remember the days of working out late night with people walking around the gym with a vacuum haha it’s a special breed of people there at that time

[@orgus23]

Recover well man! I'm an opportunistic lifter I'd say. I seem to be freshest and strongest in the morning, but am only able to lift in the morning on weekends and days I'm off work. So more often I'll lift in the evening and get the morning workouts in when I can.

[@BrianAlsruheOfficial]

Thank you so much brother and thanks also for the well thought out comment and participating in the question of the day

[@LatimusChadimus]

Zercher everything

[@welp5970]

It's all fun and games until you get humbled by a 90kg zercher squat

[@LatimusChadimus]

@@welp5970 believe it or not I can squat more in my elbows then I can on my back, I find that more humbling because it doesn't make sense but I am getting my upper back stronger so pretty soon it will even out, hopefully

[@welp5970]

​@@LatimusChadimusyou're either some kind of mutant or never back squat that much in the first place,zercher squatting 90.kilos feela like trying to pick up a truck

[@LatimusChadimus]

@@welp5970 I do quite often, I'm not sure why but like I said I'm working on things to get my upper back stronger because I think that's my issue, I can get the bar on my knees and pick it up a lot faster then if I have it on my back. It's crazy that I can do 150 kg in my elbows but I can't do it on my back. I'm starting to think maybe it's a mental stability issue even though I use one of those Buffalo bars and the bar has never ever slipped it's in my elbows the bar never goes anywhere. The rucking, the cleans and power cleans, the chains, the kang squats, they are all helping me

[@nicolasevans6292]

Morning lifting is the best! I feel fresh and it's a good way to start everything.

Usually lift sometime between 3 and 9 PM depending on schedule

[@BrianAlsruheOfficial]

[@Kooldac]

Never been a big fan of morning workouts so I usually do 7-9pm after a typical white-collar workday. However, I do struggle with poor sleep that night if I extend it too late or otherwise have a big workout so have to be careful about that. I prefer anywhere in the 10am - 2pm timeframe but usually work gets in the way.

[@LatimusChadimus]

Maybe you can reduce the volume, and up the intensity a tad, and develop a sleep-hygiene routine with red light bulbs, meditation, etc..

[@BrianAlsruheOfficial]

I always feel weak or in the morning. And thank you so much for participating my friend.

[@ArmstrongArcade]

I've always preferred Zercher over front squats, but had never deadlift-loaded until I saw you do it in a training video, I love it. Thanks for doing these, the little tricks and techniques really help out. I get up at 3:50 am and try to get into the gym by 4:20 am. Currently hitting your Massbuilding routine until 5:20'ish, then finishing with Humiston's hypertrophy.

[@ArmstrongArcade]

Dude, those pause deads +1 are ill. I'm gonna hit those and the kettlebell Shoryuken's tomorrow. Way sick.

[@BrianAlsruheOfficial]

That is a hard thing to do my friend I commend you for your self discipline getting it done like that!

[@soldierside365]

Morning worker outer since I started working out. Used to be an endurance runner so running towards a sunrise gave me life haha but even now as a lifter, getting shit done in the morning means that it’s quiet, I’ve just drunk a lot of coffee, and then it’s done. Getting it done early and first thing is just as much a discipline thing than convenience. It also means that I can’t skip it if I’m tired later in the day. I can get on with my day knowing that if nothing else, I did something

[@BrianAlsruheOfficial]

Hoping you recover quickly! Sending love and prayers! As for when I lift, I greatly prefer my main workout in the morning right when the gym opens. Go in, get it done, do the rest of my day. Unfortunately, I currently work overnight shifts, so I choose 7pm instead. Low volume, similar feel to morning, just fits my schedule better. Thank you for all you post and keeping us motivated!

[@Justlaxin13]

I am an later afternoon/early evening lifter because I do it after work typically on weekdays. I used to be a nighttime (like 7-8PM start time) lifter before I had a home gym. It's funny you mentioned liking the idea of a late night lift. Myself and few close friends have joked since high school (i'm over 30 now) that our "peak hour" mentally is like midnight. But, like you, that's never been feasible for my life so I never lift that late.

[@BrianAlsruheOfficial]

That is the problem, I’m awake in the middle the night and sleepy during the day haha my circadian rhythm must be off or something

[@jodencro]

I enjoy training around noon, but I'm forced to train around 5:30-6:30am before work. With working 12 hour days, I have no energy for evening training.

[@BrianAlsruheOfficial]

I can totally understand that. But it’s commendable that you get it done anyway.!

I got caught speeding on the way to the gym at 6:00am once. No idea why I was in such a hurry, that plan didn't last long!

[@darrellgrant7615]

My preferred is around noon to 1PM but I’ve also had long stretches when I worked out at 8:30 A.M. and long stretches where I started my workouts at 8:30 PM. The morning ones were always the roughest for me.

[@BrianAlsruheOfficial]

Totally makes sense and thank you for taking the time to leave a comment and explain brother

[@zfortyounce]

I get up at 4:00am and am in my garage by 4:20 for workouts. Having a family its really the only time of the day I have for myself, I always feel guilty if I have to workout after getting home from work.

[@BrianAlsruheOfficial]

I am proud of you brother. That takes a lot of discipline and it’s commendable. Great job!

[@scielth]

Depends on life. I've done morning, after work and evenings. After work is nice just because have eaten and drank plenty of fluids but mornings are nice as nothing has gotten in the way yet.

Hello Brian, this is Jerry, we did a consultation call a while back it was a great time for me, I learned a lot. Including these pause plus ones, that you told me about. Would it be alright if I sent you a book, I’m writing on training? I find it to be really helpful for my to articulate what I know and usually I learn from the experience. It would just be a gift too of sorts from me.

[@BrianAlsruheOfficial]

Hey Jerry! Great to hear from you, and it was a blast talking to you. And of course you can send me a book! I would love to read what you’re up to

[@BrianAlsruheOfficial]

Keeping that moment, I’m going is real, great job dude!

[@AnUnlikelyAthlete]

I feel you on the shoulder issues. As for the QOTD, I prefer to workout about 5-6PM. Being older and slower (as well as several medical issues including a quad bypass and no cartilage in my right hip) I need more rest sometimes and I like have the time to get my workout in and slow it down. I also love a weekend workout that starts about 2-3 and I can just take my time and enjoy the challenge of the workout.

[@BrianAlsruheOfficial]

Very well thought out comment and there’s definitely something to taking your time to enjoy the work out. Thanks for a great comment.

[@jim3132002]

I workout as soon as I get off of work, 4-5 pm on weekdays but if I can workout at around 9 pm on weekends I feel most alive during those. Hope your shoulder gets better soon

[@BrianAlsruheOfficial]

Thank you very much, my friend, I really appreciate that!

[@andrewmcmahon6432]

Hope you get your shoulder fixed up soon. I'm definitely a morning lifter, I naturally wake up at about 4:30 am, so I get up and get it done before the day gets in the way.

[@BrianAlsruheOfficial]

Thank you so much, my friend, and it is commendable to get it done before the day starts!

[@ericy1]

My preferred lifting time is actually based around my schedule, I like to do 1-3 hours of productivity after eating breakfast, then have a snack, then train. Depending on work/school that's ranged from 10-3

[@BrianAlsruheOfficial]

Very cool and thank you for taking the time to participate my friend

[@nmnate]

I did some zercher squats a couple of weeks ago. My first thought was how much easier they felt compared to a front squat. Like my butt could come up a bit more to allow the posterior to assist without the bar getting away from me. I can't let that happen on a front squat (or zombie squat), they just require stricter, more upright form IMO. Hope your shoulder gets better. I've had a couple shoulder injuries in the past and they've taken a while to rehab until they feel "good" again. I think there's a bit of an art to finding a good ortho that is willing to really figure out what's wrong. Making sure they have a sports / PT focused background seems to be key. I'm a late morning lifter (usually before lunch). Never really enjoyed getting up early to lift before work, and I've never really been able to lift super late unless it's a small workout with isolation exercises. I'm just too wired after working out late with heavier compounds and can't sleep well. Thankfully, I have a really nice gym at work, so I can take a break in the middle of the day. Feels quite helpful with keeping the overall stress at work down, too. If I have a meeting or other time conflict, I'll just end up lifting in the early afternoon. I don't love some workouts after eating lunch, especially a hard lower body day... but you gotta do what you gotta do.

[@BrianAlsruheOfficial]

I completely agree with you about the front squat and this is a really well thought out comment brother. I really appreciate you leaving at.

[@goldmanasable]

I think the larger diameter of the bar alleviates some of the discomfort

[@BrianAlsruheOfficial]

For me, I use a larger bar because it doesn’t have knurling. The knurling is what usually cut me up, the pressure itself really doesn’t feel that different to me.

[@goldmanasable]

Ah I gotcha

[@jtraten]

Great video Brian hope the shoulder heals up quick. I am usually walking into the gym around 130 or 2pm. I work nights 6p-6a and go right to sleep after work. I usually get up around 1230pm.

[@vs1146]

I'm extremely interested in what is wrong with your shoulder because it sounds a lot like what's wrong with mine. Also the right one. Something feels like it's dislocated, and it's all clicky even all over the rotator cuff area and the right lat, but when it hurts (which isn't always) it hurts at the front. It's so weird. As for when do I lift - sadly, I lift after work. I am typically a morning lifter, it's what I enjoy the most. But at the moment I don't have the time for it, so I just lift after work. I still lift in the morning on weekends, though.

[@BrianAlsruheOfficial]

It sounds like you and I have the same exact thing dude. I couldn’t get an appointment till next Thursday, but I will keep everyone updated with what’s going on so that hopefully you can get diagnosed as well.

[@vs1146]

I had some success with resistance bands. I do exercises to strengthen the mid-back, rotator cuff muscles and the serratus anterior. I think I know how I messed mine up, too. One day I woke up with a lot of tension in that area, and I used (abused more like) a lacrosse ball to alleviate some of the stiffness, which did the trick, but it also messed something up in there. I know for a fact that all of the muscles in that area are now significantly weaker than on the left side of the body.

[@KateRichardson-f4n]

Hope it's nothing too serious with your shoulder and it's soon better. I love doing dragon flags as they're a great core exercise, but they really annoy my elbow tendonitis (golfer's elbow)- is there a way to get around that? I tried holding the bench above my head and to the sides, but it doesn't seem to make a difference. I wear elbow cuffs too. Also, I'd love to be a late morning or early evening lifter as that's when my body feels the most energetic, but due to work (and not liking a busy gym) I tend to have to do early mornings

[@commonkingslifts]

Hoping that shoulder heals up nice and fast man. I have PT for the military in the mornings so I lift in the evening. On weekends, I'll lift in the morning though just to clear up my afternoon schedule. Before the military, I was a morning lifter, but I learned that I am much stronger in the evenings after having multiple meals and a full days worth of movement to open up my hips.

[@ReallyOnlySam]

I train in the morning. I like having that done, so I don't have to think about it throughout the day

[@BrianAlsruheOfficial]

There is something to getting it out of the way that makes the entire day better. And thanks for answering the question.

[@derbistheeternal2947]

Whenever I can fit it in :P

[@BrianAlsruheOfficial]

That is plenty understandable enough, my friend, respect

[@marksmycniuk9096]

I lift whenever I can carve out time, morning or night, mixing it up makes you more adaptive? Least that's my thoughts lol

[@BrianAlsruheOfficial]

You are the first person to answer anything even remotely like that. Will be different and out of the box my friend! Thank you for participating

Ass crack of dawn lifter here... I would like to be able to lift in the evening but It is either go to the gym at 5:30 am and have dinner with my family or lift later when I am up and moving but miss dinner with my family. So obviously dinner with my boys takes priority. But I am slowly building a gym at home so I can do both and get my boys into lifting as well.

[@BrianAlsruheOfficial]

Can’t miss dinner with the family for lifting. I am with you on that one. Absolutely! Thank you for answering.

[@geoffkaminski]

Prefer to lift in afternoon, but often have to lift in morning. I've tried evening lifting before and I just cant sleep afterwards

[@BrianAlsruheOfficial]

I can very much relate to that, and thanks for participating brother

[@brandonfassnacht3205]

Love it

Workout after work, which is 1630-1830. As for the KB uppercuts, do you consider those as an antagonist movement to the DL or an ab exercise?

[@BrianAlsruheOfficial]

Definitely a rotational core exercise

[@andrewkendall8900]

I work out in the morning, wake up, take a cold shower and then go get some sun in my eyes while I hydrate. I then take a short walk and get things going in my garage.

[@BrianAlsruheOfficial]

You are doing all the things right my friend

[@mathis0000]

Now i lift around 12am and think for me personally this works out very well, i have to 2 meals before this and already did a 1h Walk outside. If i would need to lift early in the morning i dont think i would be 100% focused and not fueled enough 😅 Great video as always! Greetings from germany!

[@BrianAlsruheOfficial]

Really good points and well thought out answer my friend, thank you for participating!

[@TeamHahnVlog]

Do you set an interval timer or just look at the clock when you start each exercise?

[@BrianAlsruheOfficial]

I am a clock guy. I leave my phone away for me when I left because it is too big of a distraction.

[@TrustUsTonight]

I tried to be an early morning lifter but would want to fall asleep at work lol switched to 4pm workouts and super happy Also, love a good Zercher

[@BrianAlsruheOfficial]

Awesome, thanks for answering my friend!

[@a.k2156]

Would love to lift late in the evening/night time but my gym closes at 9 pm. During work season im forced to lift early in the morning for few weeks and that is living hell for me. Joints ache, weights feel heavy, no concentration at all

[@BrianAlsruheOfficial]

I totally understand that and thank you for answering the question

[@petarpetrovic-ix3sb]

Damn look at those arms man!👀

[@BrianAlsruheOfficial]

I appreciate haha

[@rosendopaz868]

I workout in the afternoon right after work.

[@BrianAlsruheOfficial]

If I stop home between work in the gym, I never make it there, so you are a wise person!

[@rosendopaz868]

Thank you sir 🙏

[@FactoryStage]

I workout after work. Like 7 pm for convenience. Wish I could workout at 2pm.

[@BrianAlsruheOfficial]

Give me that moment I’m going right after work. Definitely helps a lot of people though. What you’re doing is commendable, and thank you for participating.
