I'll be getting it. I have the Massbuilder and it would be dope to have a collection, plus I wanna support the channel the best way for me. Stay dope af Brian, you're metal 🤘
I ran the darkhorse program in 2018 and twice in 2019 and all of my lifts went up, I was the biggest I've ever been, and arguably my most athletic after running it. It's become my go to for when I have some space in between programs or when I don't have anything planned for that day in the gym I use the darkhorse template to structure my workout. I really appreciate the work put into making this. Keep up the good vibes, Brian.
Been lifting seriously in Sweden (strongman competitively), for 20 years, working as a personal trainer, and I never bought a workout program in my life. Until today ;) Brian is so inspiring. As an athlete and as a human. Thanks for all the knowledge and the love I've been able to pick up through watching your channel, over the years, brother.
Love the 25$ preprogrammed get up and go kick some ass format, makes it easy for people to get familiar with your style of training. I'm currently getting back into the routine of training and the Minimalist seems like the best bet to do so. I failed my goals for the first half of 2022 due to bad time management, but aim to get at least halfway there before the third quarter of this year. Will definitely migrate to this one once I build up to it. Thank you for the valuable work you do!
Bought the darkhorse from Brian, I'm 1/2 way through week 3, and I gotta say, this is the hardest program I have ever tried. Brutal....and I love it!! Def worth much more than 25$....will I get stronger at the end of 12 weeks?? Time will tell!! Thx Brian!
I ran the free darkhorse program to prepare for my first strongman competition and had some great results. looking forward to running the e book version.
I've gone thru Mass builder 3 times (progressively getting stronger) because I love it so much but I think the Darkhorse is going to be a great addition! Can't wait to started! Buying it now.
Hey Brian, great video as always, love your stuff. You seem to be a big proponent of working up to a top set instead of backing up from. Is there any specific reason why? lIrc you apply this in nearly all of your programs. Aren't you then pre-fatigued for your top set? Not a critique just genuinely interested.
Excellent. Another program to see how many times I can die. Will have to tweak as my backyard gym is limited to back squatting whatever I can clean and press to my back 😊 and floor presses from blocks.
Hey Brian, can't wait to try this out! I was wondering if you could do a video explaining your cool down after the workout and how long you would typically spend on it
What's up Brian, really love your videos. Your workouts always look really fun and challenging. I am interested in getting one of your programs but not really sure what I should purchase. I want to build strength and muscle because I am pretty skinny. I have always done bodybuilding type of workouts but I would like to change it up and actually follow a plan. Should I try the darkhorse program or would you recommend something else? Appreciate it!
I just bought the program. I noticed that there is no Conditioning section, but in your FREE darkhorse template video, there is. Which one is more recommended? Is there any reason why DARKHORSE perfected would not have conditionings included? I Was hoping there would be. Thanks for answers, take care
The main reason why the conditioning is not added is because I replaced the traditional assistance with more assistance finisher sections. If you prefer to do traditional assistance then I would absolutely add 10 to 15 minutes of her conditioning to each session. But I try to keep the workouts under 90 minutes for the e-book versions so that’s why I went the assistance finisher route.
About to run this program, Question - Can I run this as a 2 day a week program? Doing day 1 & 2 week one and day 3 & 4 week 2 ? I know it will turn it into a 24 week program. I ran your minimalist twice but with training kickboxing and Bjj plus work and family and the stress I am expecting this program to add I figured 2 days would be best. Last question when will a minimalist version 2 be released? Thanks in advance, stay well
I’ll be honest with you brother, unless you are a very advanced lifter who knows exactly what his body needs and you can manipulate it pretty much it will, they’re lifting two days a week there’s not enough for virtually anyone outside of what I just described. Lifting is a kinetic language, and if you were trying to learn Swahili, working on it two hours a week is never going to make you fluent. I think you need a minimum of three days plus recovery stuff worked in in order to see progress. Unless you are very advanced or a very most beginner who doesn’t care that much about the progress
@@BrianAlsruheOfficial Thank you for taking the time and replying, it is greatly appreciated. So 4 days it is for me just won’t roll on one of my Bjj days and only drill as active recovery. Thanks again love your programming and channel. Stay well 🤙🏼
I have wicked pain my elbows from even doing 1 pullup. I suck it up and do my sets/reps, but how can I avoid this pain. Even with elbow sleeves it's ridiculous. I feel like any day now my arms are going to explode. Thoughts?
Just bought the program. Random question though. I do have bands and chains. When programming let's so 50% for my lift is 100 pounds. If I use bands do I put 100 on the bar and then add the bands or should the bar, weights ava band tension together be 100? Hope that makes sense
After I finish my current SBD program, I will do: MASSBUILDER -> POWERBUILDER -> DARKHORSE -> 4HORSEMEN See you on the other side lads! And Brian, THANK YOU! Wish you and your family all the best

Love darkhorse a lot. Think the biggest part that helped me was the increased frequency of each of the lifts because of the dynamic effort setup

So? Did you?
Hell yeah! I’m on week 3 of 4Horsemen and loving so far. Haven’t had my clothes so thoroughly soaked with sweat since HS sports
I ran the free darkhorse program to prepare for my first strongman competition and had some great results. looking forward to running the e book version.
Bought this program 3 weeks ago and it is awesome! Thanks for doing what you do Brian!
I was just writing a darkhorse for myself using your older video. Definitely picking this one up.
Ive been doing my "homemade" version of dark horse for a long time and have seen a lot of success. I've been waiting for this program to come out!!
Running this already based on the free video but buying the program regardless. You've helped and continue to help a lot of people Brian, thank you.
You've earned me. But more importantly, you've earned the respect of the people... Something far more valuable.
Will be getting this! I just finished up the Powerbuilder program, but darkhorse is still my favorite of your programs that I've run.
I've gone thru Mass builder 3 times (progressively getting stronger) because I love it so much but I think the Darkhorse is going to be a great addition! Can't wait to started! Buying it now.
Thank youuuuuuu!!! Needed this
Ive actually been waiting for this.

i start the 2019 year long training today brian! looks awesome
Hey Brian, can't wait to try this out! I was wondering if you could do a video explaining your cool down after the workout and how long you would typically spend on it
I’ve never done a cool down in my life man. I always go right into coaching after lifting
I will be grabbing it Thursday 💪🏼

Be getting it just to support you if nothing else brother
Love this program so much.

This shit is rough lol been running it for about 3 weeks. A lot of fun, but hard lol
Seems like this is geared toward a home gym or an open time slot at a CF gym. I am doing RP Simple since switching from CF to a commercial gym.
Awesome job
I have wicked pain my elbows from even doing 1 pullup. I suck it up and do my sets/reps, but how can I avoid this pain.
Even with elbow sleeves it's ridiculous. I feel like any day now my arms are going to explode.
Thoughts?
Hi - I am a 45 yo late(ish) beginner and am wondering if this program would work for me, or is it designed for more advanced lifters?
Do you have any programs without supersets? The gym I use would be very tricky to run a program like that due to it's business
Buy home gym few hundred dollars investment
Yeah, these CF style workouts don’t work in a commercial gym. I’m doing the RP Simple training template.
Just bought the program. Random question though. I do have bands and chains. When programming let's so 50% for my lift is 100 pounds. If I use bands do I put 100 on the bar and then add the bands or should the bar, weights ava band tension together be 100? Hope that makes sense
And... Page 3 of the program answers my question! Ha!
Hope all is well with you
We must prepare for an angrier world.
Do you customise this for someone who's specialising in the ohp?
What level of experience is this aim for?
you guys still selling suffer beautifuly banners??
Take my money sir
Only Brain can make it rain as a.vid ender.
Is there a spreadsheet anywhere ?
Can you talk about your stack please
After I finish my current SBD program, I will do: MASSBUILDER -> POWERBUILDER -> DARKHORSE -> 4HORSEMEN
See you on the other side lads!
And Brian, THANK YOU! Wish you and your family all the best
