    I'm glad I was a distance runner for a decade before taking up strongman, breathing hard is my comfort zone.
    Being explosive though, thats a foreign concept.

    PERFECT TIMING! I just did my first workout in over 8 months and I had to stop halfway through my old full body workout! Gotta keep striving and get back at it!!!

    The thing I love about this video is Brian knows he is successful. He had done it all, made all the mistakes and he he simply sharing his success. More people should listen to the mentality aspect of his training, not just the exercises he does
    EDIT: watched to the end and want to make a suggestion. Name these walking and talking videos something distinct and label them ‘walking talking podcast 1, walking talking podcast 2’.
    (Or something that suits you)
    I enjoyed listening to this as a podcast rather than sit down and watch content. Also might help with content diversification. Also helps people know what’s coming out and what to expect from videos. (Very humble advice ofc, but maybe something to consider)

    I just did a 17 mile hike up a 14er here in Colorado, my old infantry ass wanted to quit but as soon as the lady I was with asked if we should turn around i said "oh hell no we have gone to far to stop now" My infantry brain kicked in and I pushed through. It smoked my ass.

    Brian, another great video. I have heard you talk about the benefits of giant sets many times, but this video has motivated to finally start doing them along with weighted carrys.

    Of all I've learned from your vids, it's work capacity and your thoughts on it that've helped me most. 15 years of pushing myself and a bloke on the internet shows me I have so much more I'm almost ashamed I never found it.

  • @breag6936

    I did the for distance yoke carry in my last program with you. 65% to start for 10 mins. I worked so hard, it literally took me 5 extra mins once I started getting out of bed the next day. Brutal.

    I am loving your vids. Since I found your channel I have been so much more motivated in the gym, i am even looming into competing in a powerlifting comp. would love to see more vids on core workout, bit slower on the 'bandy twisting thing' so i can see your hand position, and grip strengthening. keep the vids coming.

  • @romitsugathanpanicker4620

    Brian! Can't thank you enough. Am going through one of your free programs. And the last four weeks suggest 10 sets of 3. Was getting gassed before the end of the workout and was looking for ways to increase work capacity and you uploaded this.

  • @hansnordby6932
    @hansnordby6932 Před 5 lety

    Great video Brian! Like everyone commenting so far I love the pond talks. I totally agree with you about just carrying heavy stuff around. That may also have the greatest carryover into real life because we all carry stuff, whether it's your kids, groceries, stuff around your house, your yard, or at your job. When I used to take my twins for walks in their stroller I would sometimes carry a dumbbell with me. It's great because you switch sides when one gets tired but your forced to keep going because it's not like you can just leave that thing somewhere. Metal toughness is huge and vastly underrated. Anyway thanks for spewing out all the great wisdom. We all really appreciate it, and glad you are starting to feel better! ☺

    I'm a little late to this party but Brian I just wanted to thank you a ton for all of your content that you put out. Your warrior mindset and your philosophy on training has been eye opening to me. I'm beginning a career in law enforcement and so far everything you've said in your videos has been some of the best advice for training that I've ever heard in my life.

    Mental game is something I really need to shore up on. I looked up Goggins and ordered his book this morning "Can't Hurt Me: Master You Mind And Defy The Odds". I'm excited to read it and build myself up mentally so that I can push myself harder physically beyond the wall I feel I can't seem to overcome. Thanks for pointing him out Brian!

  • @joeljames2367
    @joeljames2367 Před 5 lety +2

    Yep keep these coming. There perfect for when I’m folding laundry or driving because the visual component isn’t as important as the audio so it’s easy to consume and multitask where as the training tips in movements require watching and listening. As always thank for all you do! The way i look at work capacity is if you feel like you’re going to die or pass out then you did it perfectly if not then you cut it short.

    • @MrChristopoop
      @MrChristopoop Před 5 lety

      I put these on my phone while I am lifting in my basement. Sometimes the new vids hotbed on a pertinent day (ie. Improve your deadlift video on deadlift day) always nice to listen to but I do find myself having to re watch some portions that I am catching during sets

    Hey Brian, I really enjoy the content of your pond talks. They're good for motivation, reminders, learning, etc. What would you think about doing it as a short podcast? I would really enjoy listening to them as I warm up or whatever and not have to have CZcams playing to hear it. I would listen to that everytime. Dont get me wrong, I enjoy watching you gesticulate as you walk around the lake, and I love catching glimpses of the dogs, but I think you could have something cool here with ~10 min podcasts...shoot you could probably still recording as you walk too. Just a thought...thanks man!

    @Hirooshii1 Před 5 lety

    Got this from George Leeman some years ago, talking about for example squats,boxsquats, or like the RDL, stuff like that where you take a weight you can comfortably do 7/8reps with but you go for 15-20 for a single set. Then once you get that 20 up the weight.
    That shit did some crazy shit. Makes you mentaly strong as fuck to.

  • @900198619

  • @japphan
    @japphan Před 5 lety

    A lot of great tips here. Work capacity is perhaps the most important attribute for long term improvement.
    I would still want to make a case for incorporating high quality sets, that is heavy sets (No more than 5-6 reps, no more than 0 reps left in the tank) where you make sure to have as good a possibility as possible to performe it to the very best of your ability.
    This means _long_ rests between sets. You can do some mobility work, rehab, prehab stuff while resting, but the main idea is to rest for 5+ minutes. I have found that this has a great impact on my strength.
    Moreover, it shows where I need to improve; if my core is starting to wobble in the last rep of an OHP, I need to work on it before I go heavier.
    Do _not_ do these to often. It takes way longer for your body to recuperate than from mass training, and you can develop cns fatigue.
