RIP Alan Thrall 2010 - 2020 We will rmbr u as the strong & swole 10 year old boy. Semper Fi

Your wife is an angel and you are a warrior. So happy for you.

Wife is the real MVP

And always remember... TRaiN unTaMEd-uh. There, fixed it.

You have a good wife, props to her for staying with you during hard times.

rip alan thrall. gone too soon at the ripe old age of 10

Surprised to hear my favorite KZfaqr died. Even more surprised to learn he was only 10...

I remember when I randomly watched a video of yours on Strongman back in January 2016 and got totally hooked by it - I used to hate the gym but went anyway. I thought that Strongman was my dream workout, but couldn't find anywhere here in São Paulo, Brazil where I could practice it so I sticked with the closest thing which is Powerlifting. Fast forward to 2020 and I'm now training with one of the best Brazilian Coaches (Gilson Clemente da Silva, FYI), I've had the opportunity to train with IPF legend Ana Rosa Castellain and I'll be participating at the Brazilian Nationals in February. Your vídeos have always been a source of knowledge and inspiration for me, Alan. I would still despise lifting weights If I hadn't clicked on a video of yours. Thank you A LOT. Sincerely, Raul

I was expecting a "I met Austin Baraki, was coached by him and it changed my life", but man this is good too! Jokes aside, awesome journey man, well done.

RIP Alan Thrall

is it just me or was this emotional

Hey brother thanks for sharing your story. I can relate to some of this so I know what you've been through. Got out of the Marines in 2010. Major depression. Failed to get a business started. Lost all personal (military) possessions in a storage unit. Undying support of gf (emotional/financial, etc). Main difference is I couldn't get out of the rut and lost everything and everyone except family. It's gotten better the past year so I remain focused and hopeful. Anyway, congrats on pushing through and achieving your goals and having a beautiful family.

Family, love and dedication! Well done Alan, you’re an inspiration.

Thanks for never quitting. You're an inspiration and a great teacher

Spiders and vinegaroons. Never thought anyone else still appreciated that qotsa album

Alan, you are an inspiration to most of us, even when we are not inside a gym. Thank you!

Wow i had no idea how much u were struggling, I respect u even more now and i already respected you a lot so there is like a lot of respect comin ur way, just given ya a heads up.

I’ve been watching your channel a long time - and a big fan. It’s wonderful seeing the success you’ve had, as well as humbling to see the hard times. You show others that the path to success isn’t instant. Congrats on all the good things recently (marriage, house, baby) - I think anyone that stands by you in hard times is definitely a keeper.

Thanks for all your help Alan! Congratulations on your beautiful family and for all your success!

You deserve it all! I remember my best showing me your channel when i started lifting, and I also remember when Untamed Strength moved to it's 2nd place, so it must have been 2014. I watched all your "how to" and loved them. I have shared your content to many friends and we are all thankful for teaching us the big three. Cheers from Sweden and I hope you have an even better next decade.

What a journey! Congratulations and I wish you and your family all the best!

Great job on sticking it out through the hard times many people would have given up your perseverance is inspiring

Alan, you've been inspiration to me. Thank you for what you do!

I'm very happy for you, and wish nothing but the best for you, your wife, your pup, and your son.

Congrats on all your success. Thank you for your service to the nation. All your perseverance is inspiring!

Respect Alan, you are one of the rare people that I really like and support. You have your own style when it comes to Yt and to life,keep smashing it and 1mil is coming soon,trust me !

Glad to be a fan of yours. Looking forward to another 10 years. Thank you for your service to our country. Much appreciated!

Thank you for your videos, they are a GREAT blessing!! God bless you and your family!!

You deserve every bit of the success you've gained. Sending love to you and your family, Alan!

Fall of 2018 I came across your KZfaq channel and enjoyed the metalness of it, and liked many many of the videos as well as watching them countless times over and over while eating lunch in my car at work.

That's inspiring, thanks for the time you dedicate to your passions and to your community, it helps a lot, have fun for the future, I can assure you we'll always be behind you

A true journey!! Good to see you got through some hard time to see some great times. I always enjoy your vids and I'm still learning at 62 because of guys like you who share their knowledge

Congratulations on all your hard won success. You have a lot to be proud of and to celebrate. Thanks for sharing it with your online friends.

Thank you my man! You and your work (yt channel) have a huge impact in how i see strength training, you taught me a lot. I will always be grateful for that!

I absolutely love QOTSA. Also, so happy to see how things turned around for the best. I wish you and yours continued years of untamed success and, most importantly, good health.

I’m so happy for you coming out the other side after your struggles. Here’s to those who didn’t get the support or the fortunate breaks they needed and were crushed beneath the weight of their dreams.

Thank you Alan for all your excellent advices an inspiring videos. All the best to you and your wonderful family. Lots of love from Finland. Stay real!

And you deserve every bit of the success you worked for! Congratulations and I hope you continue to crush it. I'm legitimately happy for you, your family, and look forward to future content and updates. Happy new year!

Beautiful family and story. You are inspiring and honest. Thanks for sharing.

So glad you made it Allan, you've helped so many of us thousands of miles away in gyms were trainers don't know or care about their jobs

Your the man! You’re honest and your soul is clean! You deserve all you have and more coming ! Semper FI Thanks for all the videos

Thank you Alan. This is a huge boost to keep going and fighting for what you want in life. It gets tricky sometimes, bouts of depression etc but never, Ever fucking drop what you love. Success comes to those who continuously push forward and you Alan are a perfect example of that. 💪

Also, thank you so much for all of your videos. I love your content and although I don't know you personally I am super happy for your success, proud of your mental fortitude, and impressed by your physical strength. Truly one of my role models.

What an incredible story and an inspiration. Made me appreciate how easy I have had it. Thanks for the reminder and congratulations on all your accomplishments.

Congrats Alan!! Really shows that hard work pays off. Good luck for the future

I've been following you since Untamed Strength 1.0 and really enjoy the content you put out, the partnerships you've struck with other people in the strength community, and how you're very generous, authentic, and humble with your knowledge. Great to see you doing so well. I hope the next decade brings you continued success in all you do.

Following you about a year now to learn more about lifting weights and to get inspiration. Your are a strong man by any means and truly inspiring not only in terms of sports. Its a pleasure to follow you plowing through the odds of life to reach your goals!

I wasn't here for very long I think like a little over a year ago but I really enjoyed all your videos and I'm happy that I can still be here for the rest of the journey your videos make me happy and help me with my lifts and form and I'm grateful for that

Congratulations! You've come a long away! Thanks for everything!

I randomly stumbled across your videos some time ago, compelled by this weightlifting wild man. I’ve watched many of your videos since and grown to release what a good guy you obviously are. Kudos to you and your beautiful family, and may you have continued good luck. And, of course, thanks for your service.

Thank you from the UK. You are very inspirational. Our second child was born with in days of yours and your videos have helped me keep training. Even setting PBs this year.

Really glad you put this here. It definitely needs to be so it can inspire a new generation of fitness vloggers and entrepreneurs. It's an amazing journey, full of wonderful people, and thankfully, it all happened within a decade. May the next one be an even better one. Semper Fidelis -W

This has to be the most inspiring video I've seen in a while. What a great success story. Alan never quits!

This was encouraging. In my own way in the past few years I've had some disappointments and setbacks when working towards a goal. Never really felt like quitin but often became melancholic. Thanks for sharing your story!

Congrats Alan! Super happy for you. Stay strong brotha.

Alan, been following your content since around 2015 and from thousands of us, Thank You for never giving up on the dream. The world is a better (and stronger) place because of your grit and personality. All the best in this decade!

Congratulations, Alan, and thank you for all your insightful videos. Happy New Year!

I'm happy for everything you've achieved and congrats on the family! Continue to work hard Alan and everything will fall into place.

Hi Alan, I came across your channel by accident more than a year ago and got hooked into powerlifting eversince. You have always shared great content and i thank you for all the good work you have done. Your story is very inspiring and prove that we should never give up so easily even when the challenges are so overwhelming. Last but not least, your baby boy is so damned cute.... Very happy for you!

As a young boxing coach, i see and relate to you. I'm in the struggling phase that you have throught right now and I try to keep my head out of the water from the financial and performance stress. As a longtime subscriber, seeing your journey helps me visualise a great future, and I thank you for sharing this video.

Amazing story with many more chapters to come I'm sure. Keep up the good work as both a dad and a gym owner!

Congratulations! Your hard work and perseverance is paying off.

Thank you for this. This is very motivating. As a college student working 2 jobs struggling to make ends meet I understand how this feels. I’ve taught myself to love and trust the process and never lose sight of a better tomorrow. Being relentless and hard working never fails!

You’re an inspiring guy bro. A true American story right here people. Thank you for your service and keep doing what you’re doing. You amongst other various fitness youtubers have helped me get off my ass and start lifting and you will never know how much that matters to someone like me.

Thank you, Mr. Thrall, for posting videos of this nature. Not only do I find them encouraging, but they show how our passions can save us, rather than being millstones around our necks. I am eternally grateful.

Great video. I have always enjoyed your videos and learnt a lot from them. Huge respect to you for sharing such emotional and personal content.

Checking in from Iron Wolf Fitness in Chicago. Keep pushing forward, we love your videos. It shows if you believe in your self keep going and it will pay off.

Inspiring journey, Alan. Lesson learned: just keep swimming.

Thanks for sharing Alan, very motivational on so many levels. So glad you stayed the course and continue to be an inspiration to so many. Happy New Year!!

Congrats on your success bro, sometimes i get lost in thought and forget how things can eventually turn out. Stay positive

thanks for sharing this much! I enjoy watching your videos for a while now. Like the work you do! Happy New Year 2020!!! Bless you and your family

alan i've been watching your videos for years and wished i lived in cali so i could train at your gym. you're a good man, and i'm so glad all your hard work paid off. it was nice that you included that part about calfresh, and thanked your friends and family for their contributions to your success. you're a true inspiration for so many reasons. thanks

Thanks for all your videos; really played a big part in my early lifting days. Cool to see your bigger story. All the best man to you and your fam!

Thanks for sharing this with us. Well done, great work both of you.

I've said it before, but it's clear to me from across the world that you've freakin earned your success with passion, hard work and determination. You deserve it. Thanks for all the content you put out there and may the good times continue!

Thx for your service (from a USMC mom). I really enjoy your videos. You have such great form.

Very happy for you Alan. I and I am sure many others have learned a lot from your videos. Thanks to your videos I was able to perform difficult moves, since I didn't have a trainer available, and workout efficiently. Wish you and your family all the best in life. Salutations from Greece.

Thanks Alan. It’s good to see the strength our fellow man can muster in the face of difficulties and how much we are inspired and fortified by it. Stay strong and best wishes in making solid life gains this year.

Humble, hardworking man - God bless you Alan.

Thank you too for the priceless advises and motivation.

Alan in all these years I have learned a lot with you. Thank you very much, mate. Good luck in your new phase as a dad. Regards from São Paulo, Brazil.

Congratulations on your progress through the years. Love your channel.

Awesome video. Fired me up for what's ahead of me. Boot camp in less than a week. When i finish my career in the Marines, whenever that may be, i plan on making my art known worldwide. Seeing the initial struggles you dealt with also helped remind me that things might not start out great or go according to plan, but as long as i stay true to my goal, i can make it happen. The song in the background was like an ancient warrior's motivation before going to battle. Stay blessed brother. Your video on what to work on before boot camp helped me cut my run time down by 2+minutes.

Alan Thrall, thank you for your KZfaq channel and all the dedicated work you do. I would not be the man I am today without your channel.

I never knew your whole story. Thanks for sharing this on KZfaq, Alan. You are someone to look up to.

Thank you for this video Alan! I am grateful to you for all of your instruction and contents. If not for your dedication I would never have understood the barbell movements or made the progress I have in my training. I wish you and yours the best in 2020!

Dude I'm happy for you. I've been watching your stuff since 2015. Learned plenty.

Wow Alan this is really inspiring! Wish you the best in your life and your family!

Thanks so much Alan for making the awesome content you've been making throughout these years! I don't know of any other 'fitness unfluencer' people, that makes such entertaining and witty KZfaq videos that are also really helpful at the same time 😁

Very motivating, glad to see you strived towards success

Go you Alan! Thanks for all your content and your presence in this community. It was nice to meet you last year at the 2019 march San Antonio BBM seminar. You really have helped me a lot with your content, damn right you should be proud of your last 10 years! Go you!!

You're a good dude, Alan. We are all lucky to have a gent like you sharing your knowledge and work ethic with us. Thanks for never giving up.

wow amazing story. This really shows that we can all achieve our dreams. Thank you for not giving up when it was hard you are idolized by many. Keep up the great content and TRAIN UNTAMED

I am in business for myself too. I loved hearing the story of your beginning. Watched your channel off and on for a few months now. Awesome!
