Bugenhagen and Alsruhe is a very interesting idea. I wonder if they'd click. A couple of Hard-Chargers there. Bugenhagen follows that unique Program that's like the opposite of Brian's Giant sets. Two different types of intensity. Bugenhagen is a wannabe Rock Star. Will Brian is a total Door-Kicker. Plus, Bugenhagen is known for lifting by himself while Brian places high value on the Team Atmosphere at NeverState. Still, there'd be a big audience for that meetup. Who knows, with Bugenhagen's wrestling career getting hot, but maybe with Juji's help it can happen sometime in the Future.
Despsite liking or not liking the music, you can see a distinct intensity that still exists in your workout that does NOT match at all. Nice choice. Watching your battle ropes to it is hilarious! Also, on the topic of giant sets, a seasoned strongman at my gym caught the tail end of my workout this week and said "where did you learn giant sets?" He nodded in approval when I said "Brian Alsruhe." Thought you might like to know!
39 here and shoulder got messed up out of nowhere back in the beginning of December. It's still not healed and now I've fallen into the "missed days become a habit" boat. It's no fun. Thanks for the video, it's exactly what i needed to hear.
Fantastic video man. Not only am I sitting on my couch after tweaking my back and going to the chiropractor, I am also now getting up to go outside to move some weights around for a bit. This is just the inspiration I needed to get off my ass and go do it. Perfect timing man! Also thank you for all the great videos, I started a channel myself dealing with some issues. I’m not looking to have you go check it out or anything, I just want you to know that you are inspiring a lot of people. Thanks brother.
Brian, great video! The music is not bad at all! Very chill. I was waiting to see you doing some curls in this bodybuilding workout, but I knew you'd stick to your roots and not go that far. Haha. Love your stuff man, your content is 10/10.
I've been doing giant sets at a commercial gym. The key is being flexible and adapting to what you can do depending on availability. I love it and because of Brian, I think I'll have a hard time ever going back to conventional sets.
Man for a guy who likes sleeves you went pretty aggressive on the sleeve removal. Next video please cover the topic of posing and flexing, you know you want to.
I agree bro. I love lifting which is what muscles are meant for! Awesome video. If all body builders trained like you the world would be alot better place.
I met another fellow Neversate fan at my first competition with Strongman Corp this weekend! His name was Eric and we were competing in the lightweight class together and he was an awesome individual, his first competition ever and it was a great time!
Hi Brian, I'm a long time follower and first-time commenter but I'm feeling a little at a loss here and almost desperate. I'm 38 and have been in and out of the gym since my early twenty's but never took true training seriously until I had to have an ACL reconstruction (left knee) done in November of 2014. Pretty much got tired of everyone telling me I was too old to be lifting heavy after the surgery though lifting had nothing to do with the injury. Then I had to get an AC joint issue and labrum tear in the right shoulder fixed in November of 2016. So for almost 4 years, I've been training more focused than ever with no major setbacks other than the stated and everything was going good until last September at my first ever powerlifting push/pull meet I tore my right hamstring attempting a 650lbs pull. I had just pulled 585lbs and then 620lbs with no trouble at all. I let it heal and did blood work for three weeks and then tweaked it again, but not nearly as bad and then I slowly built things back up and had my squat back up to a 550lbs free squat and a 550lbs box squat below parallel with no pain or issues at all. Then last month I tore my left hamstring doing a Romanian deadlift variation. I worked it back up over the last month and found I can squat with little or no pain. So earlier last week I was able to squat 455lbs X3 then 405lbs for 5X5 with no pain. So later in the week, I thought I'd try some light 50% of 1RM deadlifts and just pull them progressively faster. The second set of three the left hamstring popped again... It isn't as bad this time, but I don't know if you have had any experience with hamstring issues or if any of your athletes have, but I'm getting older and running out of time or least that's the urgency with this. I just don't understand what's going on, I warm-up, I do active stretching and loosen everything up and since the first tear, I've been doing even more mobility work than ever. The Deadlift is my favorite thing, so I'm really bummed here. I'm gonna take time off deadlifts and hopefully build a better bench, strict overhead press, and squat in the meantime, but I'm not sure how to begin to bulletproof my hamstrings when the best movement for them seems to keep injuring them. I'm beyond frustrated. Any help would be greatly appreciated, but I also understand if you don't have time to respond to such a long request.
You remember when Dave Tate took a while off and did some bodybuilding just to let his body heal. And then he could go back to moving big weights? I would do the same man. Give your body something else to focus on and build up the muscle in a different way. then go back.
I had been having some knee pain recently so I switched to box squats with the box at a height just above where the discomfort started, this allowed me to keep getting some heavy squats done.
Fantastic body of work ! Try 90/120 seconds rest between sets to metabolise cortisol . Age - you gotta roll with it Brian . I'm 53 ,really appreciate your sincere videos 👍👍
Exactly what needed after tweaking lower back last Monday! I do not do well mentally with getting hurt/ injured and always push it to much. Also got to remember #sufferbeautifully!
Nice! I'm not the only one who looses could after 5. I literally do break up large rep counts into smaller sets to keep count. Even ten will become two times counting to five at times.
I'm 37 years old and had my first back injury a month ago :) Now im only front squatting for legs and cables for upper body ( back ) and pull up's ohh did some Sumo pulls midweek :)
@@BrianAlsruheOfficialim still going to the chiropractor and still working hard in the gym,.,. I'm never going to quit on life, life must quit me first
Same thing happened to me on bench .hit a new PR left the gym pumped .threw on the same weight a couple days later and I felt unstable and just overall weak .I went for it and boom ,tweaked my shoulder 😩you live and you learn
Whenever I have a planned weight and rep mark that I "know" i can hit every day and i either miss or the previous weight barely moves I panic and think I have completely misunderstood all things training.
@@BrianAlsruheOfficial Brian, thank you for the reply. While I know that we all do, it's good to hear especially from someone like yourself. Of course the day after I posted that I tweaked an old herniated disk injury after finally getting back to a regular program! I'm fat, flabby, and weak, and so the last person you want to hear finds inspiration from you but I do. I'm back out of bed and mobile so it's time to start again (and again and again...). Breathing and mobility to start and then baby weights....Keep churning out content. I'll keep pushing forward. Deal? :)
@Brian Alsruhe Have you every tried the inman mile? I know you are big on pushing yourself hard and i think this would be a amazing feat of strength. So basically you load up a barbell with 150% of your bodyweight and walk with it for a mile. Also great video as always.
@@BrianAlsruheOfficial barbell would be because your arms would go numb from holding them in the rack position. Also how'd you feel after finishing that mile?
@@BrianAlsruheOfficial, That is the most heartbreaking thing I've ever read😭 If our paths cross ill will make you a delicious grilled cheese of your own! Just not on school nights....I have to be in bed by 9.
recently was doing heavy wide grip pull-ups and felt a pull in my lat woke up the next morning very tight it’s been a month and i still experience pain when doing pull-ups and other sort of exercises that use the lats any sort of advice
Ha. You laugh but your programming has giving me(along with hard work and diet) the most quality muscle mass I have ever gained and I'm 37. (Linear Progression)
May I ask you Brian, or you guys in the comments, how should I go about tweaked lower back. I'm looking for replacement for deads and squats. Right now it hurts too much to do them.
@@BrianAlsruheOfficial I did and I found many useful information so thank you very much! I still managed to get some work done, but I had to go lighter with squat and dead. From how I feel right now I'm 100% sure I can go heavy again starting next week
The odd fever dream lofi was kind of cool but weird to hear out of nowhere. Also considering you hate the idea of straight sets, what would you think about doing myo rep sets for isolation exercises that you typically don't do?
just had one quick question I came across your video about breathing and bracing and decided to try it last night squatting but as soon as I would unrack the weight felt like I was gonna pass out any tips to get over that or is it just something you have to deal with?
Hey Big bro I hope you have a smooth turn around. Enjoyed todays workout you still pumped some iron! I'm grooving with the personalized program but still slip in body building sets as a finishers or something. The music was nice touch! Had a quick question about Mark Bells sleeves I have XL's and they are tight you hear me (tight.) Do I need a bigger size or time to break them in?
I remember Alan tweaking his back an his trainer told him to do the deadlift but without any weight. I suppose stopping to move is a bad thing but you already knew the answer to that. Just keep moving.
Great video! I have had an AC joint/shoulder issue for about a year now. MRI shows no tear. Can't do much more than 50% on bench press without pain. Been lifting super light weight trying to rehab but no progress. Doing all other muscle groups though. Any advice from experience? Thanks!
Hi, Brian I want to ask you if you have any experience with pain inside your bicep during negativ part of overhead press. I have no problem with handstand pushups, with dumbell overhead press but, when i do barbell overhead I have always the pain just during the negative phase even with 50-70kg on the bar, after the exercise I have no problem just during it. ( I have this problem about a year and don"t want to doom this awesome exercise ). I haven"t had any injuries with my biceps. Thanks for your answer.
Hi Brian what do you think about high reps deadlift?? I see many people in my gym on their top sets doing high reps DL on heavy percentage. But for me I dont like doing reps for more than 8 reps
Thanks to you Brian, since following your linear progression program and doing giant sets, i find bodybuilding "bro" workout a little boring and never gone back to it.
this literally just happened to me, upper right trap something and it`s from sleeping in the wrong position cause i haven`t been to the gym in 2 days. did the exact same giant set, not the same weights though and definitely not as fast on the battle rope ! dafuq is that speed ? you gain speed as you go
Brian, what do you think are the best strongman movements for general strength and athleticism? I've got a garage gym and am looking for ways to expand.
You were mentioning not too long ago about a hypertrophy program you were working on. Is that still in the works? I try to watch all your videos so maybe I just missed something
Brian. Please oh please do not get mad at this question. Where can I find one of your videos on HOW TO BUILD and TRAIN TRAPS. Thank you and thanks for not RIPPING MY HEAD OFF.
Could the Vomiting be your Endocrine System? Have you relieved the stress from your Psoas muscle? I imagine it's capitulated by your intense training, highly stressful previous job, and spinal fracture injuries. It's a genuine and serious thing. Something which no doctor can test for. Take a look at David Goggins and his stretching story with Joe Rogan. It could be the change you've been looking for. (Check out a Pso-Rite as well!)
I’m pretty sure if you played the maracas we wouldn’t hear them, because your hands are breaking the speed of sound lol Those battle ropes are on a whole different level 💪
How do you train when you are having a cold? I have heard Brian Shaw saying he will just do whats possible for him or skipping the workout to the next day. Have you ever had issues with myokarditis? I am still having a cold and changed my giant-/supersets to single sets with 3 minutes of rest between each set. Felt like an eternity.
Brian “Jacked and Pale” Alsruhe
Haha truth
Brian Alsruhe no shade tho I really admire your work ethic and it has been an inspiration in my life I wish nothing but success for you
I see your taking fashion advice from Eric Bugenhagen. Suits you well, I have to say.

@@BrianAlsruheOfficial Dude, you HAVE to start watching some of his top videos, you are in for a crazy ride!
That would be an interesting collab...would love to see Brian train Eric to do some strongman stuff.
@@BrianAlsruheOfficial Maybe next time you and Juji meet up, he is also there. By the way you got any plans for a Juji collab in the near future?

Giant sets are great. Unfortunately if you have to lift in a commercial gym they are hard to. Probably why I am working on the home gym.
I did it for 15 years. I disagree.
Wild Bill I know he has a video that talks about how to do giant sets in a commercial gym, but I don’t know the title off the top of my head
Giant sets are fantastic, I can't go back to "conventional sets".
Wild Bill commercial gyms are not the one. The dirty looks I got deadlifting 700lb was unreal.
I've been doing giant sets at a commercial gym. The key is being flexible and adapting to what you can do depending on availability. I love it and because of Brian, I think I'll have a hard time ever going back to conventional sets.
The hurt back noises you make in these videos are waay too accurate. I crack up every time. I can practically feel that pain.
Thanks man!

Sandbag Over Shoulder, Atlas Stone to Shoulder, lots of carries, lots of drags, Clean & pressing every rep of your OHP stuff.
You were mentioning not too long ago about a hypertrophy program you were working on. Is that still in the works? I try to watch all your videos so maybe I just missed something
Yep currently writing it for you guys
Brian. Please oh please do not get mad at this question. Where can I find one of your videos on HOW TO BUILD and TRAIN TRAPS. Thank you and thanks for not RIPPING MY HEAD OFF.
Just search how to build traps and my name man. It’s there
U re the beast 👍
Thanks man!
When you will put that bodybuilding program?
When I have proof of concept. Would you like me to rush it?
@@BrianAlsruheOfficial No, sir. I will do powerbuilding program until then.
Brian doing lateral raise😂😂😂
Could the Vomiting be your Endocrine System? Have you relieved the stress from your Psoas muscle? I imagine it's capitulated by your intense training, highly stressful previous job, and spinal fracture injuries. It's a genuine and serious thing. Something which no doctor can test for. Take a look at David Goggins and his stretching story with Joe Rogan. It could be the change you've been looking for. (Check out a Pso-Rite as well!)
Johns Hopkins Endo Docs say no.
I’m pretty sure if you played the maracas we wouldn’t hear them, because your hands are breaking the speed of sound lol
Those battle ropes are on a whole different level 💪
hahaha
Loved the cue music
Damn, Brian. Now I need to know the name of that song.
It was copyrite free music from youtube man. Like 3rd down on their free list
You are right about the music!! Hahaha
haha
Jujimufu, Quick get up there!
We all know you love that type of music papa alrushe
haha no.
Brian never missed shrug day
I literally haven’t done shrugs in probably 15 years
How do you train when you are having a cold?
I have heard Brian Shaw saying he will just do whats possible for him or skipping the workout to the next day. Have you ever had issues with myokarditis? I am still having a cold and changed my giant-/supersets to single sets with 3 minutes of rest between each set. Felt like an eternity.
If I am contagious, no
@@BrianAlsruheOfficial : thats a good reason to stay out of the gym, of course. But do you train at home instead?
This was a great video omfg
Hahah thanks man!
Had any problems with slipped disc?
Yea man I have broken my back twice...
That’s crazy, I ask because I’m pretty sure I’ve got a herniated disc and kinda make me nervous to get back into heavy deadlifts
After I started doing giant sets, doing straight sets is so boring.
3:05 Good ol' Uncle Nic
