Brian visited Untamed Strength and followed all of these rules.
He even made a video with a title about robbing you!
These rules would save guys like you and I a lot of time and money haha!
Alan visited Neversate Athletics and broke every rule cuz he likes to "TRAIN UNTAAAMMMEDDD". He did however show up on time cuz "Whattyagonna do"? "Not train"?
DID HE MOVE THE BARBELL?
Could you imagine if people applied these rules to some degree throughout their everyday life? Our country would be in a totally different place. Good video as always Sir.
Man it has changed my life for the better. It honestly has, like drastically.
This is what people in life should be like full stop, pure respect!!!
Reminds me of Japan!
All I’m sayin is, since switching from Crunch to Untamed Strength I almost never see plates and dumbbells scattered around, not in their home. The people there put their shit back when they’re done. It’s nice to train in a facility that is actually respected.
This is more like rules for how to be a respectful adult. A lot of us didn't get the memo along the way.
Completely agree.
Did rogue glue that hat to your head 3 years ago?
Andy MacMillan funny MAN, funny.
Strangely enough The Loyal brand is making a Neversate hat for me as we speak!
Makes me wonder does he have hair hahaha
Brian Alsruhe you mean for all of us??
Brian Alsruhe please let us know when they hit because I am surely picking one up!! I’ve never been to your gym but I plan on making a visit this year. I love every single one of your videos. Currently adopting your training style and I’m watching your videos and learning along with following your daily workouts. Thank you for all you do!!
"say please sir hurt me more" ~Brian Alsruhe
Work that into a t-shirt and he's got something.
Respect is earned, I will never appreciate strangers just because I am allowed to exist in their presence. If I want to work out in a powerlifting or strongman gym then I will pay a monthly fee and go about my business. If the members expect me to be submissive and social then they ought to be so kind as to fuck off. I will of course approach other people with kindness should they desire my attention but that's about it.
I can relate to the late training partner dilemma. I had a mate i trained with for about a year and he was constantly late or a no show. I was serious about training and this dude was a super nice guy but always had excuses. He never figured out how disrespectful it was and couldn't understand my psychotic sessions with him when he did show up.
I was punishing him within the law.
Hahaha
This is also good advice for starting a New Job. White Belt mentality and be humble, always
Always White belt mentality brother. That's how people become great!
This really is the key to a life full of reciprocal respect. In fact, as a supervisor at a machine shop, I need to talk to one of my younger guys about his attitude with others, and this is the analogy that I'm going to use to help him wrap his "white belt" brain around the concept of how to gain respect over time. Thanks Tegronixxl. Oh, and have a happy new year!
see people calling these rules "stressful" honestly all you do is just teaching people some goddamn RESPECT
Some people haven't been taught or modeled to do the right thing. Others of us just need the reminder. But you're right.... boils down to being respectful of others and their environment/time.
I completely agree.
So they're not just rules for the gym they're rules for life.
Can I get an Amen!?
We (well, I) live in a world where this has been devalued. The dishonest and disrespectful accumulate the power to be publicly dishonest and disrespectful and poorly-behaved and prosper all the while. And we see someone who gets to be an asshole on tv and the simplest among us make the association between dishonesty, disrespect, and bad behavior, and they make the association with prosperity. They/we look at their/our own lives and feel our insecurity of situation (better not get sick, that shit's expensive) and think, "if only I could be an asshole on tv."
No one knows how to be ok in group settings. We dread "now go around the room and tell us who you are and a little about yourself," sessions. They fear to ask for help when they need it, and are suspicious of help when they receive it because they/we fear exposing any weakness, lest it be taken advantage of.
It's crap. The whole point of civilization is that we all do better when we function as a community.
this video strangely made me want to train by myself even more for whatever reason hahah...but hey, to each their own!
Cool man, I'd personally have my gym environment than that, but like you said, I hope it works for you!
Brian Alsruhe 🙏🏻
I train on my own (home gym), but there's definitely something extremely motivating about training with people stronger than you. I try to make a point of at least doing a drop-in every so often :)
Personally, I'm completely unable to focus on lifting if I'm even with a single friend. I've literally never had a good workour even when I was with people who easily outlift me. When I'm in the gym, I'm in my own mental world and other people are just messing it up for me.
Andrej Pitko ^this...most of the occasions i was lifting with someone they were more of a distraction than a motivation...in my humble opinion that is
"Please, sir, hurt me more" - definitely don't say that out loud. Then the girls REALLY won't want to hug you.
I feel like this would apply for work as well!
It has for me!
I think some of the specifics about doing the same movements and whatnot stem from a team environment here given the way Brian runs classes at NeverSate... People seem to have misunderstood. Being respectful and kind, however, can and should be followed whether you're at NeverSate or Planet Fitness.
Thanks man
In Russia these "rules" are called дедовщина. Not the healthiest environment to be in. That's why I train on my own. Some of them makes sense though
Just commenting to say I came back to this video because I believe it to be the pinnacle of the Iron Culture mindset. This video breathes comradery, hard work and humility brother!
It's sad that some people think these rules as problematic. When did we forget respect and commom courtesy?
Yes, I’m kind of surprised at the response. But Most people don’t see the world the way I do anyway
@@BrianAlsruheOfficial Then i would argue in this instance most people are wrong.
Respect the people and equipment yes, pay to be treated like shit no. If I was going to pay someone to make me grovel it wouldn't be a large muscular man.
follow these rules
1- don’t be no bitch
2- read rule #1
3- do whatever you want
One thing I observed at the gyms you are talking about... powerlifting, strongman clubs, is that everyone has so much more respect for the people, equipment and the place.
Its one of the best things you can do.
Great rules Brian!
Totally agree man
Boggles my mind that this needs to be discussed as adults...get even some of this right and you’ll be alright
It boggles my mind how many people seem to feel like this would be hard for them to do haha I am honestly astonished
People should raise their kids to already know this stuff!
I remember how I used to train in a boxing gym and we always shook hands before the training started. It was a little bit strange, because there were so many people and I think sometimes I missed someone or shook his/her hand twice, but I always tried because I didnt want to be disrespectful.
Men these are rule for life! Big respect and agree on everything!
Thanks so much man!
Hi Brian I joined a powerlifting gym like a month ago, this video has helped me INMENSELY to subconsciously get across the message that I have good intentions in being nice to them and training hard for strength 🙏🙏😇😌👍
I’m so glad!
Summary -
Respect the people
Respect the facility
Contribute
Be Thankful
Be Respectful
Pretend you had good parents who taught you manners and how to pay your own way and earn your keep
this is absolutely awesome advise! not only for going to a new gym but for getting into any new place in life, like this is advise for wherever your looking to go!!
I've been able to surround myself with the best possible ppl and always be welcome everywhere just by following some of those tips, like imagine actually following all of them!
I don't necessarily think these are bad rules but I just think that training alone isn't a bad thing. Big z, Terry hollands and a couple other strongman train alone and are still considered the strongest on the planet my man. All these rules should be followed just in general but training alone isn't necessarily bad my friend.
Brother, I trained alone for 18 years, I didn’t think I said that it was bad at all. I was just saying that if you are trying to get in with an elite crew, then these are some rules
This got weird fast. If I'm "late" that's disrespectful? Why do I have to work out at a specific time? Other people can "slam" weights but I have to treat it like glass? I want to find myself a powerlifting gym but I don't want one with a bunch of arbitrary & nonsensical rules. Love your content Bryan but I don't think I want to work out at your gym. I might tie my shoes wrong and offend someone.
joeyhoser
LOL. I agree. I have considered evolving beyond my home gym, but not to join a crew or club of powerlifters who have "pack" rules, or a "box" of crossfitters. I want to try the diversity of equipment. And sure as shit I am not treating a barbell loaded with plates like "glass."
If you have a specific class time, when you're late of course it's disrespectful. Brian's points are in tune with a team atmosphere, not just a "powerlifting/strongman" gym where in reality its just a commercial gym with better bars and more implements. Same thing if you're on a football team and practice is at 1pm but you show up at 1:30pm... no one wants to wait for you to get warmed up and waste their time when they're ready to start playing.
As for the glass comment... I think you're taking that a bit too literal. Is it okay to let a deadlift down quickly but controlled? Of course! Is it okay to slam a deadlift back to the ground after hitting a rep max? Maybe not on the first date...
joeyhoser sooooo if you have a crew of men getting to the gym at 6 am to lift. And u get there 30 minutes late and expect to be part of that group still... not gonna happen my man. And if you are visiting the first time. Respect the damn equipment. You don’t own it. Later you can drop stuff slam stuff sure. But the first time is not the “come in look super alpha smash my head against the wall” moment. It’s shut the hell up and learn. Be respectful. But I’m just trying to be the best lifter I can be. I took some deadlift setup advice from a guy pulling 150lbs more then me. And the next week walked in and hit a 10lb PR. It makes a difference. I for one agree with Brian. But go ahead and take these rules the wrong way and get butt hurt. That’s ok.
@@joneastling3336 I'm not looking to disrespect anyone or smash anyone's equipment. I'm just interested in lifting and getting stronger, and I'm not into the whole team/frat group mentality who are going to be offended if I don't behave a certain way. Nothing wrong with that if it works for them, which it obviously does very well, but it's not my bag.
Cool man, and I appreciate the response. But being on time when you agreed to meet someone somewhere isn't asking for much. And neither is respecting equipment. And please man, if you never want to workout with my gym, that is cool with me man. Not a very cool thing to say, but I get it.
Finally ordered a few shirts to help support the channel and payback the great info I've gained here.
Thanks so much man!
My NeverSate shirt arrived today! I'll be proud to rep it. Moving into week 5 or your powerbuilder program. Have a great new year Brian, I hope you finish 2019 healthy.
thats exactly the reason i train at home in my private "gym".
Thanks again Sir! I appreciate everything you do for this community!
Thanks brother!
I guess joining a gym like this wouldn't be for me then. I like to just plug in my headphones, workout then leave.
Yeah brother, if that is what you like to do and that is cool. But if you’re trying to get in with a group of highly competitive elite athletes then no team wants someone who is just an individual. If I wasn’t trying to be part of a team I would do the same thing that you do
@@BrianAlsruheOfficial I completely understand that and everyone is different. Some people are like you and enjoy working and thriving in a team, whereas someone like me prefers to keep to themselves and get shit done on their own. I guess that's partly down to me being very introverted. I don't think there is anything wrong with either.
@@MAGAMAN this comes down to being able to read a situation and fit yourself into an environment. Sure, we can ALL learn from a gym like Brian's however, there is a time and place for some of these interactions.
Never turned a UA-cam video into a bookmark, until today. Thanks.
That is really cool Clay, thank you!
Well said Brian, common decency is and will always be king.
Totally agree!
While I completely agree with you about not dropping weights, I find it curious that in almost every video when you do a deadlift, you drop the bar on the last rep. Do as you say, not as you do? :-) I subscribe to the Ed Cohen style deadlift training where you lower the bar to the ground on the last rep to get that little extra time under tension for your muscles.
Nice man. Makes alot of sense and common sense isnt so common. Learned alot from your channel even though I dont do strong man ... as well as Alan Thrall.have a great one
Thanks so much man!
People actually are amazed at how much Collin (our son) is so polite. It is something we both do and we make sure we instill it in him
That's what it is all about man!
Can’t stand the people on the phone all the time at the gym.
Me either
I use my phone to track my lifts so I probably look like one of those people to you...
@@amanuscar I need it for that and the stopwatch feature. In my first month, I realized that I should not be trying to guestimate rest periods.
My "phone" which is an old one and doesn't have a sim card in it is for music only. The top 40 shit playing where I lift is awful. Hopefully by mid summer my garage is ready to go to lift in. Saving for a good rack.
My pet peeve. I use an app that has my program on it and it has an inbuilt timer for rest periods. You'll only see me pull it out to tap set complete and then it goes straight back in my pocket or next to my water bottle. I'm also the guy working hard in the corner with my back to the mirror.
Be an empty cup. Thank you, I haven't heard that in a while! As always, great advice.
Thanks Will!
Following this advise was great, I just joined a personal gym with some hard working, very passionate people. I was more scared due to feeling weaker then the rest and scared to mess up. After keeping your advise in mind, My growth has grown so much. Thank you for such helpful advise
Somebody’s mother/father trained em up right. Good rules for life in general!
I am considering moving from my company's gym to a strongman/powerlifting gym soon and I'm wondering if there's an exception to having the cell phone out. While I make it a point to not be on my cell phone screwing around I do use it to log my sets in Excel and I also use it to time my sets. I suppose if this video has taught me anything it's that I should go see what others do first and then ask, but is there generally any leeway for using a cell phone as a workout tool, and nothing else?
I think it depends on the environment man, if they are cool with it then definitely keep track of your sets but I’d be careful depending on the group. At least on the first tryout
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Sounds pretty simple to me. Treat others the way you want to be treated. In the gym and in life.
We need more Brian Alsruhe in this world.
this is just good advice
Life 101. Thanks man, really appreciate you.
I know you've said before that you apply a lot of what you learned in lifting and strongman to the rest of your life but these rules are great for just general life too. Keep up the great work Brian!
There ia no PL our SM gym at Brazil. Justo comercial gyms and CrossFit box in here. And the last one is very expensive. So I will maintain my comercial gym wo, but with your kind of wo. Thanks man!
Thanks Brian, this is an awesome video. Most "gym rules" type vids are just "don't be creepy, be nice". Ths was way more helpful and specific. I do think it's a little odd that you implied that if I was on my phone between sets it would be "more likely to be thrown on the floor and smashed", but I can see why you might think it was impolite/ compromising somebody's superhero identity.
yeah don't hug woman that don't want to be hugged. Seriously that is creepy and no one likes creepy people. Thanks for the Vid Brian!
Right?
And if you bring out the phone in a gym hold it screen pointing to the ceiling and camera too the floor.
That's actually a thing?
I wish more people would follow these common sense rules. Is it really that hard not to be a turd in the punchbowl? Theres a jackwagon at my gym who never puts weights away, leaves whatever he uses however it was when he decided he was done with it. 2-3 sets of dumbbells on the floor, plates on bars, or left leaning against racks. Somehow we always end up at the gym around the same time. It's super annoying, and it wastes everyone else's time, not to mention shows a complete lack of respect for the gym, equipment, and other members.
I can see and appreciate a good intent.. It seems very strict but I can see how it may be helpful..
I think that some people throughout the life often find themselves in an enviroment where they are required to behave in a similar way while being treated with contempt and disrespect at the same time. Basically they learn that rules and discipline is a form of bullying. I don't believe that is the case in your gym because it seems like a nice place, with nice people. Unfortunately for those people mentioned above, the association with bad treatment is so strong that it would be very hard to convince them that they could like being at a place like that.
I realize It's not pleasant to read something like "I don't want to go to your gym." "I'd rather workout alone than this." but please don't take it personally. It's just their past experience, it has most likely nothing to do with you. They're not trying to offend you.
Ugh, no matter how I tried I couldn’t get off work and I’m gonna be late for my first powerlifting class this Sunday. The shame makes me think maybe it would be too disrespectful and maybe I shouldn’t go at all. I absolutely let them know so at least they won’t be waiting for me, I guess.
You're the best Brian. Respect is underappreciated. Thank you.
First it was the fake weights scandals, now there are fake gyms? The madness never ends.
Scary
Wow!! Gyms sure have changed since I ran one, you paid by the year, month or day guys loved to share their advice on workouts, how to perform certain excersies and shoot the shit and everybody hanging out on the weekends, clubs, picnics, and the beach, your right about training with stronger people they help push you up the weight
Subscribed but in my opinion just train who cares what other people think, and just watch Brian's video's for tips💪😂😂
I hate when I’m at the gym and people just leave plates and dumbbells on the floor, makes me stop my workout just to clean up so I can be comfortable during my workouts

I keep trying to find a serious gym in my area, but they don't exist. I'm the strongest guy in my gym (home) and I'm, by default, the hardest worker too.
10:23 which gyms are those so i can avoid them? For fucks sake i could be organising someone to give my son a lift home from school, for all they know, if someone smashes my phone on the floor id headbutt them.
Put your fucken weights away, use a towl, shower and hygiene. Simple really but so may fuck these rules up.
you got any advice for someone starting a strongman/power lifting gym? there isnt anywhere in my area for someone that has advanced passed the little mom and pop gyms so i started getting my personally trainers degree some weight plates and kettles bells. not really sure where to go from here and could really use the help to get on the right path
Brian, this video should be named how to join any group. Everything you have said is so true of joining any gym, club, team, job and sort of dating as you say :-). Good luck in 2019 sir!
Thank you so much!
Brian, this is such good advice. This is the stuff that may take some people forever to get. Thank You.
Oh boy I cant wait for the gyms to get packed for a month with people who hype themselves up to lose weight but give up after a month.
Those people with too much pride will never understand the benefits and gains of humility....
I just started working out at a power lifting and strongman gym the invierment is awesome already. Brought my training to a new level
Happy new year Brian! Here's to stronger people, including you and me, in 2019! May our family always be blessed with abundance of health and happiness :)
You too! Thanks!
Good video!!! Great message!! It is true pretty much all of the fundamentals in life you learn in kindergarten. I don’t know why so many people in this world have forgotten that. Treat others how you wanna be treated, share, be nice to the new “student.” Be the better person no matter what.
I totally agree brother!
Brian's experience and knowledge on strength and conditioning is immense. But this channel doesn't care so much about growing physically larger or stronger, but about growing your heart and soul. And that is what keeps me coming back every time I see the notification. Thanks for all the work you've done Brian, have a blessed new year.
Thank you so much for this Victor
I had no idea that gyms like this existed. People putting away weights? What’s that all about
Haven't finished video yet but I'm pretty sure hes talking about Planet Fitness
Definitely am
Thanks for giving us the insider scoop on how to not be a jerk at a new gym!
This is good advice for anything in life. Work, school, etc.
I wish there was a gym like this near me :/
Okay, this is epic.

There's so much hope for the world when fitness personalities get obscure political references
Promo code shapiro
Thanks for putting this out there. With all the information out there and as strength sports begin to grow there’s been more and more people that walk around like they know it all already. They don’t know how to connect with people in the gym either. Thanks again.
Totally agree
Wow I’m kind of amazed at the responses. Some of them seem to miss the part about this being a place you want to belong to because it will help you reach your goals. If there is a group that can help you why wouldn’t you adhere to THEIR structure, RESPECT their equipment, Time and effort?
These rules are basic common sense. They aren’t written anywhere at Neversate but I absolutely followed them when I first showed up, and continue to as we move into a new year. They aren’t hard or restrictive. Treat the gym with respect and it is returned to you. Simple.
Another great video brother.
Man, I am so glad you said this. You have WORLD titles and still understand this. Yet some guys who have lifted for 5 years say that they are too hardcore to be nice hahaha. Oh world...
Excellent advise! For the gym and everyday life!
Please tell me any dude who comes in and trys to hug the women gets a great big, uncomfortable bear hug from Olu.
Ahahah that's a great idea!
Excellent set of life rules in general.
Thanks Caleb!
I gave up commercial gyms years ago, but I do know back then it might take 3 months for someone in that elite crew to talk to you and give you lifting advice and if the person didn’t take it no one would ever waste their time with that person again.
That is what I came up around as well.
most of these are basically common sense, but i get what you`re saying.
Most of living is basic common sense man, that doesn't mean 99% of people do it right
Ciobanu Marius Constantin common sense is unfortunate not as common as it should be haha
:) Well Said big man. A Healthy and Happy New Year to you and yours.
Thanks brother you too!
I work as a janitor now and us janitors appreciate your words!
Yayyyy , I just joined Planet Fitness 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Do you do Jiu Jitsu ? Noticed the cauliflower ear :D
Indeed I do Sir, my Background is in MMA
not even just gym advice can convert to life in some instance great video Brian
Thank you so much man!
Great video! You'd make a great father someday
This is great advice for life not just a new gym/group!
Thank you!
I admire values over strenght. You are the type of person who makes the place as enjoyable as possible. Very good advice.
It´s not that hard, you have to be polite and care about the equipment.
"Be Empty." I like that.
Happy New Year Bro.
You too brother!
@@BrianAlsruheOfficial Your tips on overhead press and squats.. really helped me.. thanks..love from India🙌
Good rules for every day life.
9:50 - yeah, that's me, so I train at home!
Hahah!
Great video Brian. Plenty of advice that is applicable to a new job, to volunteering, to pretty much any other group activity. I recently moved to a different state and joined an off-roading (4x4) club. Much of what you suggest is what I have followed when interacting with the group, to earn my place and be accepted by the group.
Best wishes for a successful and blessed 2019!
Gentleman. Well said sir
Thanks for watching it Stewart!
