"If you want to skip the cardio work, do yourself a favor and just go powerlifting!" 🤣

Truly speaking, I have been lifting for around 4 years. This is literally the best possible channel I have found till date. Your explanations are just so simple and specific. Just too good.

Brian Shaw said he basically only trained compounds in a commercial type gym until he got his Pro card

This was the video I have been hoping for 💪. Can't say that I'm loving the volume Squats but you don't get better by avoiding the things you don't like lol.

Sir, your channel is just pure gold! One of the best out here on YT! Such excellent info being presented with so much care & humility, in such a highly informative & user-friendly manner! Thank you!

Another great video. I love how you always have good reasons behind everything. No buzzword crap etc

I'm looking to get into this. Earned yourself a subscriber. Thanks Alex.

Very useful video mate, doing my first show on the 29 Dec, big help

Thanks for the insights on this video. Really great way to break it down and understand what to do for training.

love these videos

I’m an ultramarathoner turned bodybuilder and power lifter. Got my powerlifting meet coming up. If I can DL 450+, then I’m gonna sign up for my first strongman event in October in the lightweight 181- class. Not looking to win, but if I can do these events for reps and not zero anything then that would be a phenomenal accomplishment for me. Thanks for the training advice. Gonna try to buy an axle bar this weekend.

Great advice, very no-nonsense. Not the most fun advice in the world but I’m sure it’ll be helpful

Thanks for the advice

I've found that if I consistently perform log pressing, yoke, farmers, and Husafell every week that it covers almost everything. Mix in deadlifting, axle pressing, stones, and throwing regularly as well. Never skip an opportunity to play with new implements if you get the chance to gain new experience, but realize that you're not really going to get stronger from doing more gimmicky/technical lifts that you don't often perform in contests. That's basically how I've structured my training for the past couple years, it's funny seeing someone else say basically the same thing.

A remake of this video for strongman events would be killer (for me at least)🤩

Would it make sense to implement stuff like farmers and front carry if you don't want to compete at strongman and just want to get strong as fuck recreationally?

For tire flip, if your gym has a tbar, you can use this to simulate a tire flip. even a fingals finger at the top

Moving with a violent intent? Every time I go to the bathroom after a night on the beer.

“Super easy, barely an inconvenience”

The MISC events are all events where tall guys have an innate advantage ;)

Do you think zerchers are a good atlas stone replacement?

Is 30 minutes cycling 3 times a week a good amour to build a good motor for the sm sport?

Can i simulate the yoke carry with my safety squat bar??

Could you do a video on periodizing strongman movements? Specifically moving events? Powerlifting movements are simply reps, percents, and sets over time, and as long as you keep to Prilepin's Chart you're set for years of linear periodization. However, this gets more complex in strongman when we add distance and speed as variables. Could you perhaps create a "Bromley's Chart" for periodizing with these additional factors? I know this would be difficult, as every contest has a different approach whether it be max distance, max weight at a set distance, speed for a set distance and weight, etc. whereas Prilepin's Chart only worries about increasing your one rep max on olympic/powerlifting lifts. As such, you would probably have to make multiple charts to address progressions for all common event layouts. I know that is a tall ask, but to have a resource available like that in the strongman community to clear some of the confusion surrounding event specific training would be incredible for the community, and I think you would be the perfect guy to do it.

Hello. At 4.14 you said something about full ROM DL (from the floor). Not sure I understood that. Are you saying that these Rack Pulls from a height of 15-16 inches would be better for Strongman as compared to from the floor?

Is there a particular way you like to program multiple sessions a week for strongman? I've started, after watching your videos, with the following volume / intensity split: VOlume: 4x8, 5x8, 6x8 @65% Intensity: 3xF 70 / 75 / 80%, stopping 1-2 reps from failure Repeat that 3 week wave a bit heavier each time.

How does Bench Press fit in here? Obviously not a contested lift, but is it worth programming in as an assistance/accessory movement? Would Incline Presses have more carryover then flat?

I know this is unrelated to the video, but i have a question. I'm a relatively new lifter, and just recently I switched from high bar to low bar. My high bar PR is 285 (My body weight is 137 lbs) and I just tested my low bar PR today and it was 225. I hear that most peoples low bar is better than their high bar but my high bar is wayyy better. So should I switch to low bar for power lifting or not? Sorry if this is a dumb question, im kind of a newbie like i said

Hey kings, I've been working out for almost 2 years now At first I was just doing bodybuilding trying to get cut and aesthetic but I'm more on the robust and shorter type so I want to give strongman or powerlifting a shot I only workout from home, I buy my own weights and stuff, should I give it a shot? Is it just lifting heavy and being on a huge caloric surplus? Thanks in advance

I think powerstairs is like sumo deadlift 😅

Honestly....why does this video say "...without equipment"? Am I missing something? Am I stupid?

"You're lazy and you don't care about winning" How did you know? Is this how people feel when they go to psychics?

I'm saving all these fine videos for posterity. Soon there'll come a day when STRONGMAN will be viewed as patriarchal and offensive, and only STRONGPERSON will get a pass on YT.

You sir are a liar I do one body weight squat and I'm toast for like a month lol

You gotta stop being so liberal with the word jerk, brother. My girl walked into the living room just in time to hear you say "become a good jerker" 🤣🤣🤣🤣
