Alan don't lie bro, you purposely hit lower numbers because you knew the Natty Witch Hunters were onto you AND YOU HAD TO THROW THEM OFF YOUR SCENT. *Congrats on the meet bench and deadlift PR, excited to see what happens next.
That epic hair flip on the third bench attempt was nowhere near natty. I’m calling it, Thrall uses 2in1 shampoo and conditioner followed by yet another round of conditioning.
Coming home from finishing a training cycle where i missed my last lift and watching this got me more grounded in my mood. Id rather watch someone be human and live the struggle than someone who presents themselves as flawless. 10/10
Alan, I've run enough 5k's, 10ks, marathons, etc. to know that some days I have it and some days I don't when it comes to competition. There is no explaining it. Sometimes accumulated fatigue catches up, but you're still young both in absolute terms and as a lifter. You have many years over which to improve.
I dig the maturity here man. I’ve been around the powerlifting block a few times, and it’s true as hell - sometimes you just don’t have a good day, and you don’t execute. On to the next one. And congrats on the long list of positives!
Good gracious Alan, you set a meet PR total and set meet PRs in two lifts. and won your weight class with strict judging . Going 7 for 9 is excellent. When people go 9 for 9 most of the time I don't think they are pushing themselves. The number of times people go 9 for 9 and really push it to the absolute max is very rare. You're still pretty inexperienced, tying everything together and nailing every aspect of a meet, from training, nutrition, preparation, peaking at the right time, in all 3 lifts and then nailing them all in the same-day is very difficult and takes a lot of experience. I'd say you did a superb job, and should take a lot of pride in your performance. You're on a great trajectory. keep up the great work
Easily the best video you have put out in a long time. Very funny. As for the problems with the lifts... It happens. I've even had this happen on what I thought was a good day. I wasn't tired, I had energy other lifts were good, but when I go to do my deadlifts everything feels like I have an extra 45 on each side of the bar.
If you’re lagging in a movement you should put it at the front of your scheduling. Also, the deadlift should be in the front anyway, since it’s a compound movement.
This video made my whole week Alan!! Amazingly real in that life isn't always Instagram perfect, determination to better and wonderful sense of humor about it all! I've often felt exactly the way you show on the bike or boarding up the gym or opening the spaghetti sauce. Thanks!!
I love this video man. This is the reason I follow you, I dont compete but this is how I live my life at work and in my short work outs in the gym I'm always competing with my self
Opened up the vid with a mention of Slayer's final unholy world tour! This is why i'm subbed for life to your channel. . as well as the killer content ;) \m/ --and hails to that Rocky 3 outro! Well played sir Well played. . . oh, and also glad you're not selling US gym.
Both you and Omar Isuf have the 2 most entertaining videos I've seen today. Hey good job man despite you didn't do as well as you wanted. You know you still have plenty of room for more strength gains and you'll do better next time. Oh..and always remember.... TRAIN UNTAMEDDD!
Don't worry about it Alan... we've all been there. I've had the same and can relate. All you can do is keep training and execute in your next meet. You'll be setting PR's either way.
Another great video from you, Alan. I love your style of "no bs, straight to the point" lifting talk, paired with funny (but without forced gags) skits inbetween. You do both parts well and it ended up making another good video. Cheers
I love watching your videos. I have learned so much in the short time that I have followed you. Keep at it. We all have our own bad days where we don't feel we pushed ourselves hard enough for whatever reason.
Thanks for making your videos entertaining and informative. I don’t do powerlifting but I do watch you for advice on heavy lifts. My kids also like your videos and my 8 year old said that it made her sad that you are selling your gym.
I don't laugh at loud too often when I'm alone watching youtube vids, but I actually lol'd for real a few different times watching this. Congrats on your meet either way! Still good numbers.
Yo man, even though you didn't do as well as you wanted, still inspiring. You just have off days some times, and I liked that you didn't put out excuses. I know your next meet will be great !! Looking forward to seeing the training videos
Slayer tour recap, including all the bands, especially testament and behemoth?? Meet recap showing all the lifts and setting two PRs?? This has to be my favorite video, moar moar!
Always love what you do Alan. You were first one I came to when i started trying to powerlift. Great comedy blended with information. Just saying thanks.
Brilliant video man. Second from last deadlift set and my back just felt off... not so much to not give it on the final set, and it went pretty well... I'm putting it down to getting my warm ups totally reworked thanks to your videos and to a smaller degree two other channels. So keep it up man. We small folk appreciate it too.
I saw Slayer, Megadeth, Testament & Suicidal Tendencies on the Clash of the Titans tour in 1990 in London. Was one of the best concerts I've ever been to
I bought a pit ticket for the show in Irvine 3 months in advance, but I got stationed in Camp Pendleton and we went to the field right as the show started...
Omg the clickbait is real 😂. You had me for a second. Congrats on the 1st place and don't worry too much about not hitting your lifts. It happens and you'll get those numbers in time 💪
Never been happier to have a title be empty clickbait. Thank God
Troy Rowden I know. I've never even been to untamed strength but I was low-key freaking out
Alan don't lie bro, you purposely hit lower numbers because you knew the Natty Witch Hunters were onto you AND YOU HAD TO THROW THEM OFF YOUR SCENT.
*Congrats on the meet bench and deadlift PR, excited to see what happens next.
Who are you?
Johan2 Ofinlohigh he's the 3/5 natty king
he's the no calves bro lifter of natty gains
Johan2 Ofinlohigh dude you dont know who that is!!?? Thats “Oh were you soft here” man!!!
he's the king without the calves
Get Omar to hook you up with some creatine. I hear he knows a guy.
Paul Caskey Read it as *I know he hears a guy*
Lmfao
That epic hair flip on the third bench attempt was nowhere near natty. I’m calling it, Thrall uses 2in1 shampoo and conditioner followed by yet another round of conditioning.
The Brad LeBROski no, dude. Everyone knows it’s csc, not scc!
Coming home from finishing a training cycle where i missed my last lift and watching this got me more grounded in my mood. Id rather watch someone be human and live the struggle than someone who presents themselves as flawless. 10/10
Alan speed pedaling on that bike 😂😂
IKR, had to explain my goofy grin to coworkers. Dude has serious comedy chops.
Personally a fan of seeing all 3 attempts
Alan, I've run enough 5k's, 10ks, marathons, etc. to know that some days I have it and some days I don't when it comes to competition. There is no explaining it. Sometimes accumulated fatigue catches up, but you're still young both in absolute terms and as a lifter. You have many years over which to improve.
By far the best natty hydraulic lift on UA-cam
httr dc rich is my favorite natty pia........oh wait wrong channel
It's not uncommon to "under perform" in a meet. I think you're point of view is objectively correct. Shit happens. Still a beast.
5:49 "Spare any gains? Everything helps"
jables paolini will squat for whey
I dig the maturity here man. I’ve been around the powerlifting block a few times, and it’s true as hell - sometimes you just don’t have a good day, and you don’t execute. On to the next one. And congrats on the long list of positives!
Alan you're truly an inspiration for the peak of what a natural athlete can achieve. I salute you!
You pedaling on that bike had me rolling!
it appears you sunk in your squats to a similar depth that you did before you revised your form.
This right here.
Yeah this was definitely atg
dont scare me with a title like that! :'(
Good gracious Alan, you set a meet PR total and set meet PRs in two lifts. and won your weight class with strict judging . Going 7 for 9 is excellent.

Same
Its a compound movement, any slight tear/injury in any muscles contributing like erector spinae can hamper the movement.
Everybody has off days now and then because...¯\_(ツ)_/¯
If you’re lagging in a movement you should put it at the front of your scheduling. Also, the deadlift should be in the front anyway, since it’s a compound movement.
Yo from Italy 🇮🇹 ur the best , I improved my deadlift from 160kg to 217,5kg thx to you
Alin Eugen i just went to rome
well done, but at this point it's a bit of a waste not to put that 5th plate and hit 220
This video made my whole week Alan!! Amazingly real in that life isn't always Instagram perfect, determination to better and wonderful sense of humor about it all! I've often felt exactly the way you show on the bike or boarding up the gym or opening the spaghetti sauce. Thanks!!
damn, failed that deadlift so hard that he sold the gym... RIP
DUDE!!! I was in the pit when you showed those slayer and lamb of god clips. So freaking awesome!
One of the best videos yet. Killing it, Alan!
Good thing I get your sense of humor Alan. The title freaked my wife out big time lol. Congrats on your meet numbers
Your bloopers reel at the end was adorable. You two look like you are very happy together. Keep it up.
Oh Heeeellll Yeeeaahhh! You rock Alan! Great job at your meet, and love your positive attitude!! Love your channel! 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻😃👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Many thanks for the content the past couple of years. Going to catch the concert in ATL hopefully, thanks for the heads up.
I love this video man. This is the reason I follow you, I dont compete but this is how I live my life at work and in my short work outs in the gym I'm always competing with my self
High effort clickbait is a first for me.
Damn it that title got me! Super clean attempts Alan, wonderful to watch. Love the sense of humor haha.
Might be your best video ever... proud of you man.
“That’s really neat “ and bike scene had me laughing my ass off. This video is one of your best!
Opened up the vid with a mention of Slayer's final unholy world tour! This is why i'm subbed for life to your channel. . as well as the killer content ;) \m/
--and hails to that Rocky 3 outro!
Well played sir
Well played.
. . oh, and also glad you're not selling US gym.
I feel like Alan would be a roadie for slayer if strongman and powerlifting doesn't work lol
I can totally see him 'farmer walking' the cabinets, amps. . haha
Hellthrasher lmfao
“Stupid jar...” I appreciate real videos like this, very encouraging...thanks
I've been waiting for the UK dates to be announced for so long, bought my tickets and can't wait to see them!
Both you and Omar Isuf have the 2 most entertaining videos I've seen today. Hey good job man despite you didn't do as well as you wanted. You know you still have plenty of room for more strength gains and you'll do better next time. Oh..and always remember.... TRAIN UNTAMEDDD!
Best channel on the tubes. Hang in there sir.
Seeing lamb of god for the first time this summer, I’ve never been more excited for a show
Don't worry about it Alan... we've all been there. I've had the same and can relate. All you can do is keep training and execute in your next meet. You'll be setting PR's either way.
Congratz on PR's Alan. Also I wish you will only get stronger and stronger while spreading the good info about lifting like you always do :)
By far the most enjoyable video I seen in awhile. Blopper was hilarious 😂
Another great video from you, Alan. I love your style of "no bs, straight to the point" lifting talk, paired with funny (but without forced gags) skits inbetween. You do both parts well and it ended up making another good video. Cheers
I love watching your videos. I have learned so much in the short time that I have followed you. Keep at it. We all have our own bad days where we don't feel we pushed ourselves hard enough for whatever reason.
Thanks for letting us know that it was the last slayer tour, bought tickets!
Greetings from Italy.
War Daddy Untamed strength fo4 mod coming soon? Lol
I love the humbleness. Along with honesty
Dude, you are a monster. Thanks for the videos. I'm learning a ton.
Thanks for making your videos entertaining and informative. I don’t do powerlifting but I do watch you for advice on heavy lifts. My kids also like your videos and my 8 year old said that it made her sad that you are selling your gym.
I love the bicycle part!!! I laughed so hard. Good comedy in your videos. Thanks!
this video was full of greatness. absolutely loved it
Very well put allan! You have such great perspective on things! On to the next bro good job!
I don't laugh at loud too often when I'm alone watching youtube vids, but I actually lol'd for real a few different times watching this.
Congrats on your meet either way! Still good numbers.
Love how calm you are before and after your lifts
By far your best video to date💪👍👊
And thank God your not selling Untamed Strength.
Well done Alan; love the meet recap. You definitely loosened the jar lid for your girl..
Ur the best bro, keep up the great work u do for this community!!
Hey man sometimes you just have an off day. And loved the video, was awesomely fun to watch.
Love your sense of humor! Greetings from Mexico City!
Awesome, very inspiring. Thanks for sharing Alan, you're the reason I started my journey into lifting. Ill remember this vid.
Yo man, even though you didn't do as well as you wanted, still inspiring. You just have off days some times, and I liked that you didn't put out excuses.
I know your next meet will be great !!
Looking forward to seeing the training videos
Lol lmao... Alan you should get an Oscar. This is what makes all your programs great. Semper Fi.
You allways can have a carer as comedian I'm starting to come for the sketches haha
Another homeless vet! 😱
Slayer tour recap, including all the bands, especially testament and behemoth??
Meet recap showing all the lifts and setting two PRs??
This has to be my favorite video, moar moar!
That jar opening bit is pure gold.
Beautiful to see some METAL on this channel
Every time you said "meet" I kept thinking "meat" and now I'm laughing and I'm hungry. This is a good day.
Beast mode, been watching a long time and i thought the lifts were all beast mode and clean as hell.
OMG!!! You lucky bish!!😡, I am dying that Slayer is doing their last tour😩
And this whole video is the reason I am subscribed for life😂😂😂
4:55
i literally started laughing so hard, good vid man
Saw Slayer in Winnipeg on Tuesday! Insane show! A hell of a way to go out!
That up one gear bit is hilarious! Thanks for the laugh!
I'm obligated to "like" because of the Rocky 3 clip....
But , seriously, great to see your progress Alan. Keep it up bro.
I just feel so at home watching your videos
Thanks for the heads up on Slayer! I managed to snag a ticket in my area!
Your skits are the best
"Gear up Alan!"
Sometimes happen man, do not give up, keep trying. This sport is truly hard, but just keep trying.
Greetings from Mexico!
Allan should be on TV. So funny. Nearly spat my coffee out with the gear change thing.
Always love what you do Alan. You were first one I came to when i started trying to powerlift. Great comedy blended with information. Just saying thanks.
Very humble mate. Your a legend!
Your best performance is motivate the people anb be this funny!
Thank you another time for the trap bar and congratulation!
Dang Allen you had me going man, I was ready to fly from Austin to talk you out of it. you are the reason I'm still squatting.
hahahaha Alan ur sense of humor is out of this world!
"how come you guys are wearing your untamed strength shirts inside out?" This was pure gold!
Dude that "go up one gear" shit had me rolling on the ground 😂😂😂😂
Omg dude. The Allen thrall on the streets mini vid was fucking great. 👍
Between u and Omar EatButt,
I CANT HANDLE YOU TUGGING ON MY HEARTSTRINGS WITH THE CLICKBAIT.
Thanks for sharing Alan. Can see you are pretty bummed. Glad you made us laugh about it. I think you can add a PR for your funny skit.
Brilliant video man.
Second from last deadlift set and my back just felt off... not so much to not give it on the final set, and it went pretty well... I'm putting it down to getting my warm ups totally reworked thanks to your videos and to a smaller degree two other channels. So keep it up man.
We small folk appreciate it too.
I saw Slayer, Megadeth, Testament & Suicidal Tendencies on the Clash of the Titans tour in 1990 in London. Was one of the best concerts I've ever been to
ROFLAO I love your videos man.
Alan i love you, bloopers were fooqn hilarious
I bought a pit ticket for the show in Irvine 3 months in advance, but I got stationed in Camp Pendleton and we went to the field right as the show started...
Ive seen Lamb of God way to many times 😂😂 can't get enough of them!!
Omg the clickbait is real 😂. You had me for a second. Congrats on the 1st place and don't worry too much about not hitting your lifts. It happens and you'll get those numbers in time 💪
Nobody does it better! What a comedy skit!
Request... can you put a blooper reel together?
I'd like a top view camera for the bench shots, would look 10/10 majestic with all those golden locks flowing out
Like how Alan gracefully drapes his hair over the bench
That cracked me up opening the jar. Sat in busy waiting room n started belly laughing. Ha ha ha 😂🤣😂🤣
that show looks amazing
