    I fucking love strongman exercises. Im just a beginner (75 lb. sandbag carries, 60 lb farmers, 125 lb sleds, etc) but it is SO MUCH MORE EXCITING than machines.
    Thank you for all your strongman shit over the years, Brian. There is sooo much content to go through and I cant wait to become stronger.

    Visit your local microbrewery for kegs. They own the ones that the restaurants use. The one I worked at had a ton of worn out kegs. I would imagine most microbreweries are the same. The ones you get from them will most likely be clean.

    Just found you on the tube and subbed. Very helpful content. For the "Incorporating Strongman" video that is on Thrall's channel, where would you add cleans? Also, in the same video, you pair the strongman movements of dead lift and press with the strength workouts for dead lift and press. Would that be just more dead lifting and pressing for the strongman portion?
    Thanks for your time and effort.

    I found out that 1-1/2" steel pipe is what you need. It is just under 2" on the outer diameter, which makes for a pretty close fit for Olympic weights. You'll also need good collars, since it's just barely undersized for spring clamps.

    When do you implement loaded carries into your workouts? It looks like a staple in what you do, and that it's done after the main strength movement, but it's hard to tell if it's used daily or every other day or so.
    Thanks, Brian.

    • @BrianAlsruheOfficial
      @BrianAlsruheOfficial  8 років тому

      I do some sort of weighted carry at least 2-3 times a week. Yoke I do on a day all it's own. if I'm doing Farmers, Stones, Sandbags or kegs i will usually throw them in on my deadlift or squat days. And as far as weights are concerned, just check out this video on Alan Thrall's channel, ua-cam.com/video/KhUW-gnMN_Q/v-deo.html Stick to it and you should be well on your way!

I had enough and joined a crossfit gym and enjoy it especially the Olympic lifts. That being sad I love the lifting. Is 40 to old to start strong man type lifting or should I just stick to crossfit?

  • @mr.potatohead6138
    @mr.potatohead6138 8 років тому

    Came from Al's channel and was wondering what strongman lift do you consider best bang for buck in terms of overall body strength? I work out in my garage and out side with dumbells, barbell, bands and pullup bar. I also have a keg and 2'' barbell.

    • @BrianAlsruheOfficial
      @BrianAlsruheOfficial  8 років тому

      Honestly man, the weighted carries and loading movements. I'd get a sandbag and load it heavy then work carries and loads to a platform or over a bar. Once that gets easy, try to get your hands on some atlas stone molds and start using them. i think hands down, Atlas stone loads/shouldering/carries will do more to build up your functional strength more than anything else

    • @BrianAlsruheOfficial
      @BrianAlsruheOfficial  8 років тому

      I take them usually every 10-12 weeks depending on how hard the training has been. And also before competitions. I don't do much of anything the last week headed into a show
