By no means will I ever compare myself to Brian and his adversity. I m working my way back from a minor injury and complacency the past 2 years. Tired of settling. My mission is to get back on track, healthy and strong to be a good example to my kids. Watching Brian and his story is a major pick me up to get off my ass and get the work done. Because of him I've mixed in Strongman routines into my normal workouts. Those are some of my funnest days.

Awesome man you gave me some really good ideas for giant sets there. I’m prepping for my first strongman competition at the end of November and your videos have helped loads!
This is the first time you've worked out in a while? The other day you posted a video where you carried a bunch of trees and rocks around the wilderness! You inspire us, man!
Coach Brian it is so good to slowly come back and do as well as you do ! I know for a fact that at some point you will grow even stronger than before , because the hard work and the daily discipline you put in , will eventually pay off ! All kinds of love and support from Greece , keep up being awesome and keep up sharing a such beautiful content ! ❤✊
Great to have you back. And dude, your disappointment is not shared by your followers, who I’m sure just feel inspired that you’re back fighting and training. Much love.
Your squat is unbelievably good form, awesome to watch. I do see what you mean on these though, hips coming up early as you say but yeah, sick stuff lad. Really respectful and grateful for what you’ve given to me and everyone else. Big love from North Yorkshire 💪
I’m doing your power builder program but can only do 3 days deadlifts overhead press and squat .im currently getting into strongman,do I really need to add bench press into my workout?
I recently tried pullups with two ropes, kind of like Briana setup, and I realized that I have been missing out on a lot of gains by not using ropes earlier. I dont find pullups hard on my grip at all anymore, but when yu hold onto ropes there's a big diff! I also think it's better for the tendons in your hands. My fingers always hurts after my sets, but not when I use ropes.
Brian, great to see you back at it! What is that pry bar you have used in the past to put your belt on called? Sorry for the horrible making but I have no clue how to describe it
Man, I had no idea you were sick. I haven't watched your videos in a couple of years. I really hope you can have some medical intervention that can bring your life back to normal. It's incredible you can still lift this weight despite puking so often.
Hey, Brian. How you doing? I come from a calisthenics background and I watch a lot of videos about it, I just felt like I should tell you that most of the top guys suggest that the handstand push-up should be done with your body the other way around, you should be facing the wall and incline your body forwards when you get down, that way is a lot safer for the shoulders. Idk, just thought it might help you. I'm still light years away from being able to do that haha
Chocolate protein is definitely a goto, unless it's from MuscleTech, their chocolate tastes like garbage. My favorite protein is usually banana or strawberry, but it depends on the brand cus those flavors are easily screwed up. Vanilla protein shake is the absolute worst. I don't know why vanilla ice cream is so good, but the protein shake ends up being so bad. MuscleMilk is the best tasting, but maybe I'll try 1st Phorm.
Even though you don’t feel 100%, OMG , still an awesome and inspirational workout. Hope you keep recovering and making PR’s, and inspiring the rest of us!!
Dude, be frustrated but don't feel negatively about where you are right now. You're doing amazing, is it your peak form? No. Will you get there or close soon? Absolutely. You're an inspiration my man, just let it come when it comes. It. Won't. Be. Long. 😉
it's not frustrating watching you bounce back, big bro your a straight champ. Being athletic and 15 plus years in the gym several injuries having to take seat. That a sweet pocket your in keep going and keep having fun Brian!!
A chocolate guy? F*** yeah!!! On a serious note Brian, I'm always inspired to greater work effort if I watch one of your training videos before my workout.
just finished week one of the powerbuilder program. and it's already kicking my ass. I didn't realize quite how bad my lowerbody workload capacity and recovery really was until I started this program, but its been worth every penny. keep Killin it Brian!
Omg. I said on another vid I’d love to drive from Baltimore to Westminster to lift at your gym one day. Now seeing your programming, i don’t know if I’d even be able to drive back home after 😂 I’d probably just die
Great job Brian. The nice thing about manual labour as exercise is that you have the dual gains of building something while also building your body. Regarding your shoulder, I would take a look at various shoulder mobility tests, search for those, and perhaps this one more specifically "behind back reach test" will show you some images of what this is. Basically use a broomstick or maybe a band to get it stretched.
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES!!!! You can´t imagine how I missed these videos!!! THANK YOU VERY MUCH! Please keep going with the "old" TRAIN series! These videos are bomb!
protien showers? loop fruits? I do that shit all the time. i think we had the same English teacher haha! but seriously great to see you training again! I am in the 3rd month of a layoff myself (other life stuff taking priority for a while) but i stay tuned to your channel for continued inspiration and knowledge. thank you so much!
11:36 - 11:50 Who else has been getting unprovoked lovin from their dogs since starting at-home workouts since March? My dude Hank still doesn’t understand what’s going on when I’m working out.
I like that this video showed up on my feed. I haven't seen your videos in a while but I used to watch you a lot. One of my favorite things you've said is that you never wear sports jerseys because you'd never want another man's name on your back. That always stuck with me. Great video, watching you train gets me amped up.
Definately finding your training videos inspiring right now as I'm patiently waiting through a knee injury and will be in the same place soon when I get it fixed.
You're not as strong as you used to be! I'm leaving the channel! Jk, only really shitty people would do something like that. I friggin love your bushcraft content, brother. Stay healthy!
So awesome seeing your training videos again! I have been out of the gym since April and haven't been able to go back due to family health issues and the rona......This makes me want to get back sooooooo bad!
Total acceptable that you're not at the same weights as you were years ago. You're in a different place altogether. But your humility and introspection helps motivate us to do the same.
I guess the benefit of having such a gravely voice is that when you're sick, you barely notice. But for real, you could go I to voice acting if you wanted to. It's also great to see you rebuild. It was easy to write off your strength as genetic or luck or whatever, but to see you struggle and push harder than I ever have, it makes me reevaluate my life in all aspects. Inspiration doesn't do this justice.
I also love the kettlebell pull overs (I think that dumbbell pullovers are 99% lats and triceps and 1% chest) and you are the first I've seen talking about that!
Hey man it's really good to see you again. I haven't been in a gym since June 2019, but now I'll use the program you sent me and get back into it. Keep killing it
Your ability to work thru your health issues is inspiring and amazing.
Right though! It's so easy to just say screw it. I love this channel and not just because he gives Maryland a good name lol
Bruh your warm up is my entire workout😂
"Ashamed of 500lb squats" That's fantastic drive. My 265lb squat says. I salute you sir.
Same here, dude.
I'm much weaker than you.. 5x5 86kg a2g

THIC SOLID TIGHT

Lmao 😂 at TSC.
You and Tony Sentmanat need to get together and do a collab. That would be the most tactical thing ever
“Best tasting protein shower.” 😳 🤔 🤣
Awesome man you gave me some really good ideas for giant sets there. I’m prepping for my first strongman competition at the end of November and your videos have helped loads!
5 sec in, liked it already. Training vids from Brian? Heck yeahsss!
That workout after the gravel hauling. Jeez.
Your explosive movements are still mindblowing. Glad you're on the upslope dealing with all of the underlying issues.
Who ever dislikes his videos? How can he get thumbs down
I already gave it a thumbs up during the beginning UA-cam ad before even viewing the video lol
I'd love to live in the middle of the forest some time in my life
This is the first time you've worked out in a while? The other day you posted a video where you carried a bunch of trees and rocks around the wilderness!
You inspire us, man!
You workout like you're late for something, but you still need to get your workout in. Love your content.
Brian, you are all heart my man. ALWAYS a huge inspiration. You push through no matter what life throws at ya.
I can say your deadlift technique has improved, I can see you changed your dl setup aswell, good to have you back brother!
Coach Brian it is so good to slowly come back and do as well as you do !
I know for a fact that at some point you will grow even stronger than before , because the hard work and the daily discipline you put in , will eventually pay off !
All kinds of love and support from Greece , keep up being awesome and keep up sharing a such beautiful content ! ❤✊
Brain you are such a fantastic person 💪🙏 keep doing what you do
Great to have you back.
And dude, your disappointment is not shared by your followers, who I’m sure just feel inspired that you’re back fighting and training.
Much love.
I think their products are working for you. Good luck. Thanks for sharing.
Your squat is unbelievably good form, awesome to watch. I do see what you mean on these though, hips coming up early as you say but yeah, sick stuff lad. Really respectful and grateful for what you’ve given to me and everyone else. Big love from North Yorkshire 💪
Excited that you are back! Hoping to see big things of you big bro
I’m doing your power builder program but can only do 3 days deadlifts overhead press and squat .im currently getting into strongman,do I really need to add bench press into my workout?
Getting back at it! Very nice the health is getting better.
Are you the next Phorm1 sponsor? You should be.
I recently tried pullups with two ropes, kind of like Briana setup, and I realized that I have been missing out on a lot of gains by not using ropes earlier. I dont find pullups hard on my grip at all anymore, but when yu hold onto ropes there's a big diff! I also think it's better for the tendons in your hands.

Congrats on 200 Subs bro. I have been subbed sense 2016.
Brian, great to see you back at it! What is that pry bar you have used in the past to put your belt on called? Sorry for the horrible making but I have no clue how to describe it
Excellent video. First time I have seen your videos - good stuff!
What would Jason Blaha say about this subject matter?🤔
You are a great role model and inspiration Brian. Keep it up and be patient with yourself brother.
If Preworkout gained sentience and became a person....
Brian Alsruhe: Strength of a powerlifter. Conditioning of a crossfitter. Skill of a strongman. Grit of P12 sandpaper.
and his fighting skills
your style of training is so cool... but man, it's HARD
Great to see another training video! After watching this, I'll stop complaining about how hard the power builder routine is... loop fruits? lol
Man, I had no idea you were sick. I haven't watched your videos in a couple of years. I really hope you can have some medical intervention that can bring your life back to normal. It's incredible you can still lift this weight despite puking so often.
I'm sore from just watching that much volume.
How far out do you plan your training as far as what exercises?
A pure training beast trains in every dimension ,Lots of love sir...
you must go through a lot of hats. I wear hats too, I sweat like a b*tch and go through a tonne
This guys gym is haunted, bar moving @ 0:00
Not gonna lie, those burpees are super funny looking
Whats that ball that you toss up called and can it be bought at amazon
What books would you recommend?
This
Amazing video. Thank so much!
1st phorm unfortunately uses artificial sweeteners... and maltodextrin👎🏻
Do you know any good companies who don’t use fake sweeteners? Not being a jerk, I would genuinely like to know
Brian, why do you hate kettlebells?
Thumbs up if you think Brian is a gigachad
Hey, Brian. How you doing? I come from a calisthenics background and I watch a lot of videos about it, I just felt like I should tell you that most of the top guys suggest that the handstand push-up should be done with your body the other way around, you should be facing the wall and incline your body forwards when you get down, that way is a lot safer for the shoulders. Idk, just thought it might help you. I'm still light years away from being able to do that haha
200k subs. Well done Brain!!!!
Brian, the video started with a barbell jumping off the wall. Is this normal for barbell behavior?
It’s the ghost
Strength is a skill. Twisting banding things.

Great video! Greetings from Scotland Brian, I love seeing your Scottish flags in the background 🏴
So excited to see you back full force!!

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES!!!! You can´t imagine how I missed these videos!!! THANK YOU VERY MUCH! Please keep going with the "old" TRAIN series! These videos are bomb!
Work capacity and strength is there. It's amazing how a sick Alsruhe workout still kicks ass. Inspiring.
Heck yea man!!! Best way to start the day? A Brian A video? F**k yea lol. Keep up the hard work man. You inspire ALOT of people.
protien showers? loop fruits? I do that shit all the time. i think we had the same English teacher haha! but seriously great to see you training again!

The thumbnail looks like if Dr.Strange used his powers to become a magical gym bro
Kinda comforting to hear you say that after bushcraft work its affecting your workout. Manual laborer guy here, I can most definitely relate!!
Hey man, you're coming back from injury and illness. You're KILLING it. Proud of you.
So, you're sayin' you're butt-hurt.... (I'm so sorry, I just couldn't resist, seriously, you're an inspiration)
I like that this video showed up on my feed. I haven't seen your videos in a while but I used to watch you a lot. One of my favorite things you've said is that you never wear sports jerseys because you'd never want another man's name on your back. That always stuck with me.

Jk, only really shitty people would do something like that. I friggin love your bushcraft content, brother. Stay healthy!
Amazing home gym, better than anything I ever came across lol. I'm glad you're making the most of it, enjoy it man!
I love your workouts man! The programming is awesome, definitely brings conditioning to the table. I enjoyed the video, thanks
So awesome seeing your training videos again! I have been out of the gym since April and haven't been able to go back due to family health issues and the rona......This makes me want to get back sooooooo bad!

Do you still have shoulder pain
Bro you are a BEAST and an INSPIRATION. Thank you for the videos man.
Big B thank God you're back living life stronger than death.
Hey man it's really good to see you again. I haven't been in a gym since June 2019, but now I'll use the program you sent me and get back into it. Keep killing it
Floating bar 0:00
It’s the ghost
Great work through some tough shit man. Plus great tunes in the back, in hell I’ll be in good company!
I wonder if you feel you overall strength has already or will increase from all of the bushcraft work you've put in thus far.
I needed this. Ever since coming back to the gym I’ve been weak and demotivated, I need to train harder and stop saying “I’m not ready” Get after it!
Keep up the good work Brian.
worms that you have? or had?
This guy fuckin trains man damm
Definitely taking pointers and gonna revisit this video when I re-run the program you gave me! It's great to see you back at the gym sir!
It's been a long time..
AWESOME VIDEO...‼ GREAT JOB...‼
You have an awesome property.
I love your training videos, really happy to see you back at it! Wishing you all the best in improving your health!
Sick Nolte, bruh.
