Any time I get wrapped up in the UA-cam fitness madness I know I can always come to Alan and get a very level headed approach to overall fitness and health. You’re a great North Star for a lot of us, especially dads with full time jobs and kids. Appreciate you man.
also us dad's with full time jobs and no kids

Funny you said that. I just clicked on this video and I kinda hesitated for a split second since I don't really watch much fitness content anymore after many years working out. The reason I still enjoy Alan's videos is because he has done a great job of transitioning from informational videos to a more complex content with which is easy to relate as you get older and gain training experience, as well as life keeps developing and you have to navigate around it to keep making progress and stay in good condition. His videos are just that good
Thanks for following along. The video abruptly ends because sometimes ya just gotta stop talking. I've got more thoughts that I might save for another video.
Oh shit, now I don't remember how I'm supposed to train.... Unshamed?
How do you structure your week to fit in bodybuilding and running. Same day far apart?
Would have liked to know your difference in bodyweight, as well. Nice video.
Alan, would love to see you work with Dr Mike Isratel of Renaissance Periodization. He is a professor of Sports Science and a hypertrophy expert (and a competitive bodybuilder himself). I think this could be a great collab. He works out lots of athletes on his channel, you're already so knowledgeable but I bet you would learn some valuable stuff about bodybuilding going through a workout with him.
Congrats on all the progress you've made already. I am recently out of the hospital and am still not allowed to lift weights. I've been frustrated to lose months to dealing with health issues, but watching this video got me excited. Can't wait for July 15th (when I'm finally allowed back in the gym!). Will be implementing stuff I've learned from watching your bodybuilding journey this year.
@@JorProductions No lie, for a long time, I never connected the two, and I thought he said "Train... ON TIME"
Your upper body has definietely improved. The muscle definition shows.
Honestly one of the reasons I stay subbed to this channel is your continued, often lone example, that getting as big as possible isn't the only goal to have in this hobby.
oh no! where is the "train untamed" ending? :D I love the bodybuilding related content! Your upper body noticeably bigger. Especially the chest and lats.
It was a test. He’s been saying for years to always remember. This was our moment.
@@Noxxvideos The most giga brain (laudatory) comment to ever grace an Alan Thrall video.
As a result I've been training tamed ever since
Looking amazing Alan, very noticeable bicep and chest gains
Yeah, I think he looks significantly more sculpted.
Awesome video Alan. Great size. Look thick. Solid. Tight. Keep us all posted on your continued progress with any new progress pics or vid clips. Show us what you got man. Wanna see how freakin' huge, solid, thick and tight you can get. Thanks for the motivation.
Based on
Looking very healthy, Alan! You're becoming the embodiment of fitness. As far as bodybuiling goes, don't neglect your neck. Also as people pointed out: Why no TRAINUNTAAAAMDDD?!
Alan continues to be a breath of fresh air in a smoggy fitness era 😅
"I died for you!" Iced Earth rips.
Great video, Alan.
Watched a 1 year old video afterwards to compare your shape and the muscle gain is instantly noticeable, great work man
Love the rubber stoppers in the dumbbell handles - brilliant!
Alan has like IFBB status hamstrings naturally and it’s kinda blowing my mind 👌🏻 great work!
He's talked about it in other videos. His whole family has tree trunk legs.
They’re solid but he would need 💉 for IFBB status hamstrings
Alan actually does tren and liver king diet bro
@@luked4043real
@@luked4043aside from the bait, that would be even so cringe for alan, including he doesn’t look that big which is worse
Been following you for YEARS and I just love how you’ve been coming along. Thank you for keeping up the uploads man.
Good work mate. Enjoyed watching the way you go about your exercise.
it's been 10 years since I last listen to Iced Earth. Got me all hyped when I recognise the tune in your video, now going on my playlist for this evening workout. Thanks for all the Good videos.
Iced fucking Earth!
Great work and lots of practical advice in here. Thanks Alan!
followed you for so many years. I love the authenticity, genuine and honest help, support and techniques. Thank you so much Alan
Alan you look great, man. I have noticed my "dream physique" change drastically recently and I really look up to guys like you and natural hypertrophy for inspiration in bodybuilding.
When i was going to look for a video of yours about bodybuilding you drop this one 😂. Following your channel all the way from Brazil. Great tips 👌
You look great Alan. The results definitely show. Glad to hear you're enjoying the training.
You were the first youtube channel i got into when i was really deep diving into lifiting, and now after a few intense years i'm finally back into a healthy relationship with lifting, and i find myself quite in line with your last few videos. Good stuff Alan, you always keep it real, you always give good advice, down to earth, unpretentious, inspirational. Thank you for everything you've done, you helped fix my back pain and have improved the quality of my marriage by helping me chill out a bit on strictness for both me & my wife's lifting programs & diet.
A very unbiased self evaluation I’d say.
The running and very high step / activity level definitely ate into a lot of gains you would have otherwise made. I used to do a good deal of cardio and lot of training volume, it certainly kept me from having a more noticeable impact on my physique development.
Damn dude, you’re a real inspiration. I’ve been enjoying your channel for years, thanks for all the great videos!
You officially have all the gadgets!! Incredible. Thanks for the update
Great video format and breakdown Alan.
That's one hell of a thumbnail
Great video. Love the nuanced approach and actually prioritizing your overall health. You look like a tank, and are doing it with a health conscious approach. I’ve always had a weird feeling when bulking that I was making myself unhealthy and realizing that being “bigger” != overall health. I’ve found rock climbing, not running, and it has a similar approach where it’s not all I care about, but if I gain too much weight the sport isn’t fun. Keep it up Alan. Best advice/health channel on UA-cam
Awesome video Alan!
Great to see a video like this where the successes are lifestyle and health. You found a new style of training that you love, are committed to for the long haul, and suits your health goals.
I've also been doing bodybuilding for a year and feel very similarly. I did recomp quite a bit, but didn't put much weight on the scale at all - but my body, energy levels, and joints all feel better than when I was trying to strength train all the time. And most importantly - I'm more stoked on training than ever.
Looking good! Glad you're prioritising your health, talking about trade-offs, and how it's a years and not just a one-year transformation challenge.
I was expecting the bit about food- you made great progress but my first thought when I saw this video posted was 'did he ever bulk?' because I never remembered seeing you get fluffier. A solid bulk is probably the biggest missing ingredient for bigger gains, but honestly you look freaking amazing in any case especially for someone that's natty and strong like you are. Great work 💪
You don't need to bulk, you can progressively grow at a slower pace for years.
I think he's grown out of any desire to bulk hard
There is no reason to "bulk" over 15% body fat. It's diminishing returns and not worth it.
@@terminaldeityAlan’s not over 15% bf, and this is common knowledge that everyone already knows.
@@terminaldeitythe top Strongman guys are all over 15% bodyfat and Alan was once among them but seems like he's done with that lifestyle now. Different goals.
Great stuff Alan. Very wholesome content you're putting out here.
Upper chest is looking nutty! Nice work duder!
You look great. 👊 Health should be our main concern. I'm working on it. I still have a few vices I can't seem to delete. 😂 I'm 66. Just started training less than 2 years ago.
Great video. You're a role model in many, many ways. Thank you
Posted 1 hour ago, legendary reel pull!
Great video Alan
looking great!
Looking phenomenal.
Looking insane dude, similar journey for me got into hypertrophy about the same time as you. T-shirt at start is awesome.
I love that you focused on blood pressure. It's so important and so easy to fix. I've been taking one pill a night since I was 35 (now almost 45) and it keeps me from having a stroke like my dad did when he was a little older than me. Working out means I don't need very strong medicine, but it's such an easy thing to fix early before it becomes a big thing.
I watched Alan when I was powerlifting oh, about 7-8 years ago. Then covid hit, I got much older, and recently in the past few months, I got in to bodybuilding. And I agree with a lot of points Alan is making. At first when I decided to get back in the gym, I had powerlifting habits. But soon realized I can't do that anymore, and I almost quit lifting because I couldn't find the motivation, and I was too out of shape, and the road back was way too far away. Giving bodybuilding a try has been the best decision I've made in my lifting life. I love it and I'm at the gym two on and one off schedule. And I feel productive in almost all sessions.
Love Your channel from the beginning. It’s great to see the long journey with changing life, goals and physique
You’re such a calm and thoughtful lifter, great guy to listen to
Inspirational stuff. Thank you
Visible improvements man. Hell yeah!
Your arms and abs look crazy good man its definitely noticeable progress
I love you man!
The topic of how to show results on social media is interesting. Even real results may not necessarily show up in a picture comparison, but it's easy to make up results out of nowhere once posing and lighting come into play.
Tommy Kono always followed his Olympic lifting training with bodybuilding training. Periodization baby!
Smart approach to life/fitness!
Hey Alan. You’re my hero dude
You can get some solid neck gains too. According to Alex Leonids many people get great neck gains once they start training since most people don’t train them directly. So there’s place for newbie gains. It would improve your physique too.
Steel Pulse in the background...a man of refined taste 😎 good insights on running/concurrent training too
I feel like the neck machine (6:09) and the grip strength machine (11:36) are right up Eric Bugenhagen's "The Horse" alley.
Ngl the Iced Earth playing in the background is appreciated
What I like and love is that Alan takes me with him on his journey and we make the same experience. Thanks to him I lost a lot of weight. Thanks to him I let the label "powerlifter" go and do what I like. Thanks to him I want to be in even better shape. It's literally making "click" in my head, that there is more I can do and enjoy. Even though I am around 10+ years in the sport.
I still remember the videos in the back yard cooking, keep up it up you look great
Bro this was the most refreshing video in the fitness space I've seen in a long time. I've moved away from watching other people show me how to to do some specific exercise or do this or that when it comes to fitness, BUT this is true life advice and I'm with you on just being healthy is better than gaining that extra pound of muscle.
What are your thoughts on TRT? I can bet you are likely producing natural testosterone well enough with your eating, sleeping, and fitness habits. What do you think of all the mid-30s to mid-40s men hopping on TRT because they don't want to get their sleep, diet, fitness, or lifestyle in check? Thanks again and Semper Fi.
That good morning machine at 9:57 looks very nice.
The back attack baby
With bodybuilding, food is how you look, the training is how you perform. In both directions. Fat Loss and muscle gain .
As long as you train hard enough , the food is what really makes the difference in how you look
The diet is what makes bodybuilders
Iced Earth - the Dark Saga playing in the background, nice choice!
the intro was explosive
Great video man, been following you for years and I've been really enjoying the way your videos have been going now...
Also if you enjoy running outside, make sure to put sunscreen on ya! Melanoma doesn't discriminate and will mess you up.
I've really need to see this. I've been a little for 5 days now and I need to get back at.
Looking great. Definitely looking like a bodybuilder now. I'm pretty much doing the same as you with regards to running/sprint training specifically 40m dash and 400m, as well as brisk walks and lifting 3-4 times a week. The only downside I've noticed is that on days of more intense training, my sleep seems to be shallower. Like the stress hormones from exercise don't come down fast enough.
The closest thing to an Exemple i can think of... Really the zeus of the fitness industry, much respect
Your hamstrings popping while just doing pull-ups is impressive.
Jealous of that. Well done
Always remember... train untamed!!!!! 🤘🏽💪🏽
Honest no BS video. Take note UA-cam Fitness.
I, too, blast a ton of Iced Earth during Summer in my homegym!
Good stuff 👍🏻
I’m in a surprisingly similar situation with training and diet. I run three times a week and do full body three times a week. I’m also very active and have a physical job. I’m sure I would put on muscle faster if I followed what Allan was saying in regard to calories and running. But I’m in the same camp. It feels sweet to just be overall healthy and capable. Awesome content Allan.
Awesome choice of music (as always). Dark Saga is one of the best albums of all time.
Awesome 💪
Good stuff
Those hamstrings during the pull-ups at the beginning were popping
Hanging and lying leg raises are clutch. The decompression feels nice, and the extra ab work takes so little time and recovery cost.
Maintain Untamed!
idk why but you hyped me up to go for a run lol
Well, you look great and you have a really good attitude about things.
YOU LOOK GREAT MAN
You look awesome bud
VERY GOOD
10:47 that built-in collar is sick
Clicked to see Alan’s progress. Stayed to see all the Ice Earth comments 🤘🏼
…and also caught some old school Maiden 👍🏻
Never clicked so fast in my life
Hey Allan! I wanted to ask about what's the bump on your left collarbone and also the about the hole in your skin on your back at 4:45. Thanks for the answer.
Good video.
20:30 so true! I caught the lifting bug in 2020 and then the endurance running bug in 2022. I've bulked up to >100kg(185cm tall) and down to
What kind of pulley stacks are built into your rack. They look perfect for a garage gym. Which I also have.
As much as I enjoy the GO TO FAILURE GIVE IT YOUR ALL DIE IF YOU HAVE TO types of videos, I also enjoy how much Alan Thrall has changed. It's been his decision to change and he has always committed to whatever style of training he enjoyed. I don't even like change myself, but Mr. Thrall makes it seem worthwhile.
Alan, what is the nodule on your left clavicle? Is that bruised from something recent or an old clavicle injury? If not that is a bit concerning especially if it is a lymph node.
Those hoochie daddy jorts are a low key flex! 🤣
What was that calk dispenser you were using at the beginning?
Very cool neck machine, Alan! How do you train your neck, directly, beside this machine, if any? Thank you for sharing you thoughts
you really should do a video with natural hypertrophy again and talk about the training and how it affected you with him personally. thanks for your years of content btw
Al is jacked.
Happy birthday America 🇺🇸💪
Iced Earth, excellent choice.
I really think that your regular dieting just makes you adapt to whatever body type you're trying to get to (cause training is the "easy" part, but you stick to the diet in between
GVS had a good (relatively recent) video on how having an endurance background helped him in the gym -- obviously better cardio means you can do higher reps without issues, but there was also something about endurance-adapted legs having an advantage in hypertrophy training. I don't think the literature on that is super complete but it is interesting to think about.
