I've been digging through your old content. It's mind boggling how far you've come. The production quality, your delivery and the actual message of each video is amongst the highest quality content out there. It's really cool to see that the channel is improving as it grows and that you achieved these results by simply being better and not just gaming the algorithm. Well done and keep them coming!
Thank you!
That second half of the GOAT speech almost made me cry, if you dont get Joy out of your lifting and have a sense of gratitude that something so simple and straight forward, ----just show up, ---- can impact so many areas of your life in a positive way then you are missing out on the pure pleasure of it.
it was good but damn almost made you cry sensitve ahh guy (no offence)
@@isazulf7117 More like bless the lift that saved a wretch like me kind of thing. Learned and are learning a lot of lessons from lifting. Eg. don't throw the baby out with the bathwater.I will never be the strongest or most aesthetic but those are the least of my reasons for lifting. It's always nice when something someone you respect says resonates with you.And lifting allows me to be aware of my sensitive side without being afraid of it, hence a better human. Again tears of Joy.
Alex bromley = the godfather of youtube strength and fitness
I needed to hear that first one. Having hernia surgery next month. Glad to know I can really take time to recover and get my strength back. I'm in the 1% strength club and want to say as long as possible.
Dad strength is real. That's what I'm after. My kids acting up? I'm gonna snatch the soul out of them with the dad grip.
@@ranfan1820 dad tax is for candy in my household 😂. It's almost October. Time to collect!
Until the day your son stands up to you and puts you in your place.
Lift your kid. They'll grow larger and heavier, so progressive overload is built in 😊
@@jd9119that only happens to bad fathers or step dads🤷🏿♂️😂

Cannot wait for the Colorado Experiment video
Really wise advices ! Thank you very much !
I appreciate the educational talk with the training footage in the background. It helps me pay better attention to the video.
Great advice. Thank you.
Thanks for this Yoda 😊
Great video mate
It took a while for your channel to grow on me and its hard to pinpoint exactly why it grew on me, but I feel lile part of it is in the production quality, another part is probaboy me starting to work with weights opposed to doing only bodyweight and weighted calisthenica, but what for sure plays a part is you being open and transparent about what you learned, how you learned it and ultimately the message you put out. Thank you!
The quality of the content is just too good ❤nice work🎉🎉
Great Advice!
A lot of people praise the improvement in your video quality and the praise really rings true. The editing, as well as the content are just through the roof.
I want to thank you for the old videos too. The whiteboard era, the pre-pandemic programming series, the program reviews, all the novice advice. Those videos were there exactly when i needed them most. I got a barbell and put it in the basement in 2020, and i poured over your whiteboard era videos. They gave me the base of fundamentals understanding that let me start lifting and keep lifting.
Your content has become even better since then! But thanks for setting me up on the right path from the very start.
The amount of info in this video is outstanding considering the simplicity combined with the depth with which it is communicated. I find 6 especially relevant to me and the stage of my lifting which I'm in. Outstanding,,,!,!,! On my 7 time watching,,,,!,,,,,!
I have a bit of a distal bicep tendon problem, and this video has made me feel a lot better. As you said coming back is stupidly easy. We shall see
So glad I subbed! Great video once again!
At age 68 and in my third year of my paleo journey, low carb diet, 🏋 and HIIT.
#1 goal is to keep doing it. Every June is my anniversary and assessment, Am I stronger, more trim, still pain free and no limitations, plus no Rxs. ☑ 2x.💪🙏
Greatness 🙌🏾
Thank you
Great wisdom
As a new lifter there’s some super valuable lessons here.
Never been remotely tempted to buy merch before, but I like that shirt.
encouraging words
@Alexander Bromley this will go along with your "you're never going to be the top guy" and "don't look down" points. Always associate with and train with people who are better at this than you. It's like when your mother told you as a child to not hang around the losers because if you hang around them, you become one yourself and if you hang out with the smart kids, you'll become smart. If you train with and hang around people who are better at training than you, it's going to force you to become better at lifting.
Iron sharpens iron.
Don't hang around with chickens if you wanna learn how to fly.
My Dad was strong and tuff.. (I thought my name was You-Little-Bastard until I was 13...)
are you John Snow🤔
Mine named me Sue 😢
im trying to get as strong as possible before heading to bootcamp after this senior year and it sucks thinking about how im probably going to lose it but i know that the stronger i get the faster im going to get strong again once i get back so i keep going
Great video brother. Hope all is well!
Thanks! You too!
Awesome 20 rep set of squats. It looked like you could have gotten several more!
My dad always said to me .... son i expect you to be better than me in every facet if possible, you can beat me in math ➗ science 🧪 history 📜 and sport but as long as im your father i can always beat you 😂😂😂 -his 2nd favorite joke
I worked for a brick layer probably 60 years old. I was 18 I push him and I went backwards and he just stood there flat footed and laughed. Dad strength was s strong he kicked my ass without talking or moving.
This guy and massive iron are the pillars of youtube strength & training content
Great vid as always. Could you make one about when you think it's a good time to introduce a novel stimulus?
when the old one is getting stale. Whether that be your joints are achy you aren't getting good pumps anymore or you've stagnated for a long time.
100% what colindenny said but also when you're getting bored! Going to the gym and you are bored with the exercises you do EVERY time is not good for gains. If bored, spice it up with something new! Works great when training not so much in a marriage! 😁
Interesting. I'm a cyclist who competes at a reasonable masters level. I lift weights as an adjunct to my cycling, but I'm a tall, skinny guy who lifts embarassingly light weights. I'm probably the weakest person to watch this video 😁.
However, your 10 points absolutely apply to my sport too. The idea about not looking down on people as you improve is something that I have to keep in mind all the time.
I've always been obsessed with biking (more the gravel, xc endurance, enduro, downhill etc side of things) and I've always wondered, why do the majority of the best riders look so ill and frail and underweight that I wouldn't be able to tell that I was standing next to an exceptional athlete? I really hope that the majority of them aren't under eating and under strength training to hit like a certain weight class or are too worried or obsessed with staying lighter for more speed/aero. I literally find it refreshing just to see a thick rider who looks like they aren't afraid to train to get big. I've always wanted to toss this question at a forum or something, I just want to know why almost no XC, gravel, road rider looks like they really got into strength training
You can always get stronger. Don’t get discouraged and don’t compare yourself to ANYONE
The comebacks are insanely quick. Couldn't agree more. I lost 30 pounds and all of my lifts went up, minus the bench press for some reason, within 3 months.
Yo i would love a video on the UHF 9 or 5 weeks, its a variation of gzcl.
18:08 Set.. wtffff...heck yea Bromley.
If i was a coach or trainer i woukd make my clients binge watch all your videos
You know we want a review of Beast Slayer by Bald Omni Man - rate it 1-10 what would you do differently ( improvement and so on) what you liked & didn't like . And overall opinion about full body workout ( i.e for beginners to advanced) .
Hear hear big guy
I bombed out on the bench in a powerlifting meet a year ago. After losing 20 lbs in 1 week due to crazy diet and watercut my body could not handle the weight. I learned so much from that and came back a few months later and won gold in a local meet. Moral of the story, fall down 8 times get back up 9!
the best thing i did was dropping deadlifts and doing it once a week if that. I Love deadlifting but realizing how taxing it was after taking a whole week deload my squat sessions became insanely easier and was able to do more reps. I also got stronger on bench. I can still lift the same on deadlift if not more and i do them whenever at this point. Or i tend to just go at a weight sufficient for maintenance or a little more than that. For me i love the gym alot would do 7 days a week and stopped it because of this thing called catabolic which i had no idea about. Enjoying the process and my progress has become a lot more linear after taking days off from the gym.
12:21 really feeling this as I get deeper into highland games
The further I go the better I get just means I get to lose around better and better people lmao
Still feels great to get better though
For the algorithm!!!
How’s training with the wagon wheels in this video?
I’m still now crazy strong, 600lbs conventional pull on a stiff bar. But I got here pretty quick. And I attribute to, what I like to call “commitment to the game”, or as you call it “stubbornness”. People don’t understand why I would work out on a holiday or my birthday. The answer is simple: I love lifting and working out in general.
Me too bro, i love it. I want to get 3 plates bench, 4 plate squat and 5 plate deadlift
@@mugojr4766 let’s goooo!
@@mugojr4766took me about 3 or 4 years to get them lifts at 50 👍 got hurt when i was 20 and could not lift for 30 years ,just glad i got a chance again to do what i love most ,best of luck
Wake up children, Daddy Bromley just posted life lessons! ❤
Teach meeeee
Listen , if he dislikes something about arthur jones and the most famous enterprising company of bodybuilding and strength it his right, i dont fall in love with men , i see whats good for me and use it and move foward, alex himself is not perfect and everything that is said is not always agreed upon, but i still enjoy his content, and he hasgrea advice, i started following some of the 70s powerlifters training along side with mike mentzers style of heavy duty training, we must learn and grow, this is a great channel😊
Shoot for the moon and you are bound to hit a star.
Does the crazy-fast comeback also happen for women?
My grandad was good at growing potatoes, but I'll stick to my own knowledge when it comes to quads...
Can I do the fullsterkur program even tho I cant do the hamstring curl?
I have a half rack and weights, can I sub something in? I could also buy an implement to work hamstrings if something is available.
You can band racks to your ankles and do bridge slider curls, or Nordic hamstring curl eccentrics
@@user-st5nc3pq4h omnistraps are great too
Re:
"You are not gonna be the top guy..."
This piece of advice is full of wisdom!
Thank you so much!
However, I myself have some idea to remedy this unrealistic thought.
I think after considering a few unfavorable conditions, and to set a really high goal for oneself maybe still OK!
For example, one person feel eagerly to bench press at least 500 pound in his weight class.
However, he's already turned 51 & could barely bench Press (two)one-plates, he may doing some math manipulation, some of this weight-class competitors start at the age of 20 yrs-young. Then, the realistic goal becomes 500×[The square root of (20/50)]=500×.63=315Lbs.
I think the above target for a newly-entry untrained person is comparatively realistic than Setting-500
-BenchPress goal.
Pavel claimed (on Joe Rogan) that step loading strength gains stick around longer than wave loading. Do you think there's anything to this?
I remember him briefly talking about loading types on there. I'm not sure what exact context he was speaking about, if it was short term or long term. My guess would be that there might be something like a peaking effect with wave loading within the wave, where the neurological changes are more fleeting?? No idea if that's actually a thing and I would also wager that the differences would be too minor to notice.
That makes sense to me. If someone does a 5x5 for 200 lbs for 8 workouts in a row, they’re going to grow more from that workout than if they do a 5x5 for 200 lbs only once.
Did he say there is no poverty in the west or especially in the US🤔🙄😬...
I think with number 6 the title should be 'stay humble '.
IMO I think at least one month a year should be taken off NO MATTER WHAT! (if you are training at a high level)
Doesn't have to be a set month, pick a time that fits with your life.
But for me... I found losing a bit, but healing completely, and then coming back strong is what has kept me going into my late 40s.
I hit a deadlift PR after being forced to stay home for two weeks straight 😂 didn't work for other movements unfortunately hahaha
I don't agree with that one bit. Your body will tell you when you need time off. And you don't have to do the same thing every time you train. If you switch things up, you can maintain your gains while giving yourself a break from the training.
@@jd9119I don't think it needs to be a set time. Most of the time I will wait for an injury. In my later years I find that I do it after my yearly cut.
I do think completely changing your workout style could also work. But personally... after lifting for 31 years... I think taking a month completely off every year will ultimately make you stronger. Whatever strength I lose comes back with in a month, and when I was younger I would always get stronger than I was before... quicker than I was making progress before the break. At 43 I stopped getting stronger, but am still able to get back to the same strength within a month. I just feel like if you are pushing your body to the limit... a month off a year is more beneficial than not. Imo
@@psyoperator I'm 43 and I'm still making gains. I just keep changing my training method every time i hit a wall. Diet is more important when you're older but gains are still to be had. Worst case, get some blood work done and if your test is too low, you might want to consider trt. I'm not at that point yet but I'll think about it when i get there
@@jd9119 I wont ever do trt... I would never want to be dependent on big pharma to be a man. Its not so much an issue now, but who knows how much more messed up society will get. The last thing I want is other people in control of my manhood at a time when manhood is crucial. There is a reason it is being pushed like it is... and a lot of that reason is control and dependence. Having all of the alpha males manhood in the hands of big pharma is not a good idea IMO. I am totally against it!
Honestly... I never lifted for strength... I always lifted for size. So I dont even try to max out anymore. As it is I can do 315 x 3 on bench when I am at peak bulk, and that is really the most I have tried in 4 years.
If getting stronger was really that important to me I could probably squeak out a few more pounds, but for what? I am more worried about looking good and feeling good... and being strong enough.
9:49 While for most that may be true, after 3 months of training I'm somewhere around top 5 in terms of overall strength in my gym and may well be top dog at a few exercises, notably one armed seated and upright cable rows, where I've managed to max out all the cable machines. I'd quite like to attain the top spot in my town of roughly 50k people; perhaps that might be doable within a year or so if my progress doesn't plateau. Once I'm closer to that goal, it might be time to start actually competing and get my ass handed to me by the best lifters from my region (Transylvania) and then from those around the country (I live in Romania, so I'd have to out-lift ~19 million people... unlikely, but hey, I _can_ try).
That said, I'd actually be happy to have more really strong guys both at our gym and in our town in general. That way, when I do eventually compete, I'd be better prepared for the difficulty level of national competitions. Plus, maybe someone might want to train with me at some point; that would be nice.
PS: Don't worry, if by some minor miracle I do eventually become 'top guy' at the national level, I certainly won't be angry in that letter. More likely, thankful - I've learned a lot from your videos and I quite enjoy the excellent writing of your scrips as well.
That guy looks like the guy from the hungarian parliament
My grandfather never touched a weight in his life
Dude I don't know who your grandfather was be he was nothing like mine. Mine would say lifting is dumb he was the strongest man in town because he walked to school 10 miles every day uphill both ways.
!!!!
Arthur Jones actually spoke about the fact that Casey Viator had recently won a bodybuilding contest, stopped training for some time and lost significant mass/weight. He also pointed out that Casey had an accident at work and got a serious infection losing another 30+ lbs.
Jones also had pointed out that he was dealing with an above average bodybuilder.
When you’re upfront about all these things like he was, it’s not a scam. He showed how fast muscle can be regrown and with fairly limited volume and frequency and very high “intensity”.
But yet, Internet personalities ignore all that and still claim Jones was some sort of huckster. 🙄
He also had Casey intentionally diet down for 6 weeks beforehand to maximize the potential "gains", as did he. They also leaned on the final body fat reading of 2.4% from 13 at the start, which is beyond ludicrous.
He printed thousands of brochures to promote the results to sell his equipment and the headlines weren't "use Nautilus to exploit muscle memory.". It was "gain 63lbs of muscle in 28 days".
He was the V shreds of his day.
I just showed how he was upfront about the most salient points of the whole experiment: Casey was close to 50 lbs down from his previous contest weight, had superior genetics and was rebuilding previously-built mass. You then find the most trivial parts and then denounce him for using the whole thing to sell his machines and furthering his business which even you must admit was pretty revolutionary at worst and absolutely not scamming.
You don’t like HIT, Arthur Jones or Mike Mentzer, we get it.
"Arthur Jones was worse than Vshredz". I think that's actually going to be the title.
@@AlexanderBromleyYou're right about Arthur. I've watched the channel for a while and I think you're unfair to Mike and hit.
I'm not trying to change your mind. I'm just saying as someone that likes and supports you. I think it's a blind spot for you.
Vital lesson number 11. Cats offer up dead birds as a gift, not dogs 😂😂
>deadlifts 455 in high school
>says his genetics aren't that good
Was a solid 5 or 6 years of training to get there!
@@AlexanderBromley oh shit that's good to know I'm in high school and felt really jealous hearing that lol
Lol
Not going to be the top guy. Going to be the top me.
the proper attitude
Virtually none of our grandfathers were lifting. Look at beach videos from the 1950s and 1960s, no one was fat but no one was intentionally trying to get bulky.
Lol what did you get out of this obnoxious comment?
ua-cam.com/video/JwwV3FP_glI/v-deo.html These were somebody's grandparents.
Mine lifted fucking axles n shit in a junkyard with his brothers. Was like 5' 10" and 240 solid AF, in the 50's and drug free. Our grandpa's were too dumb to fail. Nowadays people mindfuck themselves out of being good.
I love your fitness advice, but every time you talk about life in communist countries I want to gouge my eyes out, the shit you say is so common-sense US propaganda it's distracting lol
