Dad Bod video coming Thursday. Week 1 Day 3&4 will be released Friday. TRAIN UNTAAAAAMED!
be careful with those rocking sleepers dude. my first daughter learned to sleep in one and it took weeks of painful sleep training to get her to sleep in her crib. best of luck.
are you doing high bar squat now?
Alan Thrall .. from one dad to another.. congratulations enjoy every moment because they all grow up faster than you think ..
*DAD WOD 😉
Thanks a lot, that's GGGRREEEEEAT!
I enjoy listening to big gym man make coffee and do chores
oh god fuck yes that's the best
The first five and a half minutes of this video are gold! The explanation of "how fortunate we are" and the 5 minute mark where you say "don't get so wrapped up in the numbers, have some fun". These are two things that I do not fully appreciate. For me going to the gym is about building strength and it should be fun. If not, why are we doing it? Great job Alan.
as if i hear brian alsruhes voice in head haha..."why do you work so hard? because im too blessed to not to"
Exactly!
I personally liked what he said about taking the first opportunity in a day to train because you never know how many opportunities you’ll get that day.
You said it!
TRAIN UNTRAINNNNEEEED
Had me in pieces
I train untrained all the time! I am ahead of the Thrall Curve! woot!
"I never know how many opportunities I'm going to get to train each day, so you *always* take the first one."
And on that note, I'm going to pause this damned video and go work out. Thanks, Alan.
METAL MUSIC DAD TIP: I got my kids to not be afraid of metal by introducing them to it slowly and calling it "Dinosaur music". Start out with some melodic stuff first that way it's not too brutal . Then work your way up to the heavier stuff . It works like a charm and they ask for it at least once a week. Good luck!
Do a reddit sub of this. Wow I need this
now thats some real programming!
Instructions unclear, kids are currently listening to Rompeprop and may or may not plan to flay me alive and use my skin for a lampshade
This. It’s funny because I remember being a kid, maybe around 6-8, and the guy who lived in the apartment below us would blast metal. It would scare the crap out of me, i would imagine that he had a literal portal to hell in the apartment. Anyway fast forward 25 years and i have fully indoctrinated my kids, 5yo and 2yo. They immediately start headbanging any time they hear it. They just know it as “daddy’s music”
To say it’s the coolest feeling in the world is an understatement.
@@Sammy9262 in full disclosure, your kids will still listen to kids crap music. The point is not to have them listen to metal only. That is a pipe dream and not realistic. The point is so YOU can listen to metal without fear of your kids screaming and crying in terror when listening to metal and maybe have the luck of them asking to play some metal. I started my kids on some melodic / celtic death metal with a sprinkling of the more commercial In Flames stuff. Nothing with curse words that they can understand just so I don't have to deal with them repeating it in public. Then I just when progressively heavier. I can now listen to Whitechapel with no issues. Weellll, we'll see in 10 years what issues may arise.
"motion is lotion" love that one
My goal is to squat Alan's first warm up set
Manuel G That’s not too bad. You can get there in no time
Ha I thought the same but then chuckled at his slim calves as revenge !
His warm up set is the squat he does on the "throne" before he goes to the gym. Haha.
It’s a year later did you get there bro!?!
Any update?
" Don't wait until something is gone to really appreciate it" ......That is some epic wisdom right there. Its been amazing to watch your journey.
I liked this video at the 1.30 mark because it is all too easy to forget how fortunate a lot of us are. The simple acts of walking up stairs, or getting up in the middle of the night to use the toilet, or even just doing some shopping can be a daily struggle for a lot of people. When we complain about our jobs, there are a thousand people that would love the opportunity to work.
For a stranger whom I'll very likely never meet, I sure am happy for you being a dad.
Man, Alan has some clean handwriting!!
I am in love with your channel! That intro meant so much. I'm going through a "hard reset", and was pretty down on myself. So, now I'm working on regaining health and strength. It's not great right now, but NOT gone. You really helped me to appreciate it for what it is. I am more grateful for my life. Thank you!
Hey Alan,
Just want to say that your message that training is a privilege and a gift resonates so much with me and I really really respect you for saying it . I've been one of the people at the hospital stuck on forearm crutches and a chair. I used to be a soccer player and loved weight training, then I developed a degenerative spinal disease and a rare type of regional neuropathy in my feet. I've been in physical therapy and care for 5 years now, and I just started to pick up the barbell again. It's been a really long and emotional journey for me, being frustrated watching my friends do things that I still can't do, but I'm finally able to go to the gym and squat and clean!
You and other fitness/weightlifters have been a big inspiration and you should be proud of what you're doing, you're inspiring people, and still staying humble and that takes a lot of heart.
Keep doing what you're doing!
Malcolm
Dude your outlook on life and personal goals is so on point. Love watching your videos.
Your comment at around 1:10 is the exact reason I always park so far away at work, the reason I like to walk around everywhere I go, and what motivates me to keep moving. I've had family that had slowly lost their abilities to do simple things like walking, and I try to be sure I never take it for granted.
this is exactly what I needed! last week I had facial reconstructive surgery after getting kneed in the face while sparring. I've already lost 16 pounds because of the mandatory liquid diet so I was getting depressed. now, thanks to you, I have a plan!
While sparring? Imagine what an actual fight would do 🙄
ya no joke. apparently my sparring buddy thought it was an actual fight! lol
@@jmac6973 wait did he really say that? Or does he just play rough....theres mt schools in brazil that go full ko during sparring haha..but itd be nice to know beforehand
The lack of sleep when you first have a kid is INSANE. Though, it does get better. Your son will eventually sleep the whole night or maybe only need 1 bottle. Then you'll get sleep and kind of miss the midnight feedings.
Scott Croom - breast feed and my wife woke up for 15 seconds to get the baby on the boob and she was back to sleep. Co sleeping works, Just not good for obese people and people that get intoxicated.
Honestly, as a dad, the first few months there was nothing I could do, not having nipples that make milk, so I slept great. Later (after a few weeks of sleep-all-night vacation) the wife and I took to trading nights so we'd get a full night's sleep at least every other night. It saved our sanity
It gets better then gets worse again when the teething starts then gets better long enough to get used to having a half decent nights sleep then gets worse when the big teeth start coming in.
Some good work here
This video helps means a lot to me. It's the flint that restarted my fire
I avoided deadlifts and squats(back and knee problems) til I watched you train your mom. Slowly but steadily I've been gaining strength.
Than you alan
Best part of this video... the end... building the rocker
Great timing, right after I re injured an old herniated disc. I'll be back.
I would love to be able to squat 315 even once. Its funny how relative strength and progress is...
For sure man! I squatted 305 for the first time a couple of weeks ago. It felt pretty good so I figured I would give 315 a shot. Nope, had to bring it down to the safety bars. Oh well, Ill keep training and put 315 up soon enough.
Just keep working and improving your form, and you'll get there. It took me 5 years to get to 295, but now that I'm there, I can taste 315. As you get better, you'll learn how to train better, so just keep it up. Watch/read as much information as you can to help speed some things along, but ultimately, you should experiment with your lifting and technique until it feels right. I've only recently begun to learn how well "screwing your feet into the ground" works for me to keep a good bar path during a squat.
@@i_booba Thanks for the kind word. And yeah, the screwing your feet into the group/pulling the ground apart with your feet, que didn't make sense for me until recently. Now I am screaming it in my head immediately when I get into the hole.
I started Starting Strength two years ago and was squatting around 225 X 5 for 3 sets when I started. I stuck with it even though it’s boring AF and hit 315 in a matter of about 10 weeks. Once I Hit 365 on the squat I swapped over to the Texas Method and was doing 5 sets of 405 x 5 before I knew it. My bench skyrocketed from 215 for a single to 250 x 5 in what felt like no time. I’m now doing the Juggernaut AI Coaching now and the gains keep coming. I highly suggest that same route.
Just stick with it. You should be able to do a 1RM squat at 315 within a year if you're training consistently and eating enough.
OMG, this may be a CZcams first, somebody who uses perfect leg press form. This is exactly the way Dorian did them.
Man, I've been dealing with some shit and everything you said in that first minute was much needed. I'm trying to improve and work on myself physically and mentally, and I needed to hear that.
How u doin now homie
I needed that intro today. Thanks Alan! Untrained Strength has me rolling
Alan is one of my favorite CZcamsrs of all time, honest, fun and extremely knowledgeable.
I had a back injury dead lifting in late December that completely devastated my program. I recovered relatively quickly, but the confidence I lost since that day seemed to have pushed my progress back months. Not reaching those numbers I hit before the incident just resulted in a vicious loop of more confidence loss, lower numbers, and less training days.
I've been making excuses to not go for the last two weeks. Your intro really hit home for me, Alan, and it gave me the kick in the pants I needed to wrench myself out of my pity party. Going to hit those weights tonight and TRAIN UNTAMED
I'm a dad for the first time too (3 months old the little monster is) - this is golden!!
The timing of this video couldn't be better. Just getting back under the bar after missing the last month and it's been tuff. Great advice.
Glad to hear your oot the hospital -- hope you feel better min. Great vid!
Oh how I’ve missed the Viking wisdom
thanks for doing this Alan, it's really appreciated! I've just moved cities and have just found a suitable gym, looking to get back into the groove of training again and this will be amazingly useful
I seriously love all the music you play in y'alls gym. All of the best metal and THIS type of hip-hop
You prodoce good content. I appreciate that.
Yes Alan! You do it man, you give us energy and we shall give it right back.
That's the kinda dad ya want, pushing it and yet humbled. Was lovely to see, then Slayer plays... just a hairy big kid.
Had me in stitches at the end man, good on you looking forward to following this series along it's journey!
That ending is great! Gratz on the new baby!
Alan.... I needed this video today. This is something I've been preparing for, for the last two years. And like a gift that fell out the sky lol! I'm so happy.
Congratulations on the baby! ... I smell some PR's coming as well, taking some time off and starting again always seems to have some impact!
First minute and half, raw and pure truth. Awesome as always, Alan!
You play great music in your gym!
You are right people don't realize what thay have until it's gone too much for granted
Love the pursuit of Vikings and Sabaton in the background.
I really needed that intro talk just to remind me that it's a priviledge to do what we do \m/
Always a great setlist for music... heard SABATON in there this time!!!
Gotta say - the manic dad energy is fantastic in this vid. Loving it
Not going to lie, the Rock N Play is one of those essential tools that helped my wife and I keep our sanity through three babies. Keep on, good sir! Keep on.
Dude I admire Alan, he is an amazing person and lifter
Alan. You are gonna be an awesome dad! My kids already like you! They love the "Train Untaimmmm-ed!!"
Congrats for the baby! Can't wait to the next video. Pure gold!!!
Glad to see the joy of lifting back in your eye and you getting silly in your routines! Also, thanks for teaching me how to lift, I've gotten a lot stronger and fit because of you and your videos! Wishing you all the best dude!
Hit the like button within the first 1:35 of this video. A great opening message Alan 👍 stay strong, stay healthy.
I wouldn't usually do one of these follow along type things but this has come at the right time.
I fucked up my hip and I'm just coming out the other side and didn't know what I wanted to do.
I'm going to see how the week finishes but I like it so far and I'm excited.
Congratulations on the baby!
If you get tired, learn to rest, not to quit :)
This was me yesterday. I had a 6 sets of 2 planned at 85% (for squats) yesterday, and after 3 sets of that, I felt so tanked. I was only resting about 3 minutes between those sets, and that quickly became not enough time. I rested 5-7 minutes between my next 3 sets, and I made all my reps. Lesson: aim to rest as little as you need, but sometimes that's still 5-7 minutes.
@@i_booba honestly sounds like you just need to build more work capacity.
@@marusdod3685 Probably for the long term, yeah. But in the meantime, if you need the extra rest, take it. Next time I do that 6x2 at the same weight, I'll aim for less rest. My point, though, was there's no shame in taking more rest when needed. So again - take as little rest as possible, but ultimately still take as much rest as you need. You can improve your resting times as you gain experience and improve work capacity.
Alan! The beginning of this video was inspiring. Thank you for reminding me to be grateful
Alan, as a visual learner I love how you break things down visually!!
Alan you are a nutcase I frikn love you man! Full feels on the infant paraphernalia assembly situation! Thanks for the continuing awesome content.
Great to see you healthy and training again Alan!! I will be following this program
Brooklyn Zoo playing? Very nice!
And MF Doom?!
right? haha definitely approve of doom in an alan vid
Dude legit had Maximum the Hormone playing right at the end. Epic.
Love this style of training vlog. Your personality is what makes this channel.
Great intro. I stopped working out for a week but your speech got me back at it. TRAIN UNTAAYYUUUUMMMMDDAAHH
Jesus, you're a DOOM fan too? Didn't think you could train any more untamed.
ALL CAPS BABY
Glad to see you’re back in training and the family is doing well Alan, keep up the good work bro!
Alan my gosh you have got a pep in your step! So happy for you man!
Looking forward to the Dad Bod video, I went 4 years without working out and making excuses after having kids. Glad to be back at the gym.
TheGooglySmoog - i have two, 11 and 4 yo. Never stopped lifting, but took breaks up to a month off during grad school etc when it got busy.
Good for you though man to get at it
You showed a lot of personality in this one, I appreciate it.
5:03 "And today my top set of 8 reps is 315"
That moment, when you hear your current squat is within 50lbs of Alan Thrall.
Of course I'm not doing 8 reps, but this is my first week of "Year 2" training. Just finally pushing my 1RM from 250 to 300 is going to feel like I'm flying.
the establishing shots... so good
Hey Alan Thanks for the pep talk, we all take things for granted.
Sacramento proud🤘 keep rocking
Oooo going to follow this program for sure. Time is precious with kiddies in our lives. Hopefully help for my rugby too... Cheers mate!
Was enjoying the video like normal then suddenly I hear some Sabaton in the background. Instantly made the video 1000x better! Glad to see you back Alan!
Talk about a motivational opening statement.
Thanks dude. Your videos always brighten up my day. Great to see you back. I’ve been through this Dad/baby break too and can relate. Also, I’ve just had to change up my routine again since the wife has returned to work post baby, so this kinda program is time relevant to me and exactly the sorta no stress approach I needed.
Thanks again.
I had a collarbone fracture early january and I was training for my meet in march... I never got injured before and I didn't pay attention to safety outside the gym. You can't predict when you'll get hurt or when you'll get sick, but these things just happen. Don't start complaining, do what you can do and it'll motivate you even more when you will get back in the gym!
Thanks for taking the time to write up these cool programs Mr. Thrall
I had to go to the hospital and wasn't able to lift for most of October and November, and I've only been lifting for maybe 3 years. Right before I was sick, I hit the biggest I've ever hit on Deadlift (505), deadlift (375) and bench (275)- i really love the advice to just enjoy the struggle, that's what I've been focusing on. As much as I want to get right back into it, I'm using this time get my body in shape, and to just enjoy fucking lifting again hahaha I absolutely love it it's so fun
Congratulations to you on the baby! Checked out the video. Myo-Reps sound like Dante's Dogcrap training concept to failure, rather than a specific rep goal for a Dante set. For Dante's work, lift first set, keep taking breaks to breathe until you get your rep goal. For example: 15 rep goal. You get 8. Breathe for 2 - 5 slow breaths, do a set of 5, slow breaths, get your last two. That's one Set. Myo-Reps take this same concept to failure, rather than a rep goal.
I really love the opening statements. Don't wait until something is gone.
That rock and play is a god send
I recently got a 240lb strict press too. Keep it going so I can chase your next PR.
Imagine you get up at 6, go to the gym thinking you’ll enjoy a quite training session, and there’s Alan, shouting “SET NUMBER ONE!”
I got the same rock and play sleeper. Served me well for both my boys, get them asleep in that bad boy and you may get 5 minutes of relax time. Best of luck
So much wisdom packed into the first minute! Keep being a super bada$$!
Yep, amen, I like how you said to put things into perspective.
Great stuff, Alan. Been going through something similar...rehabing a back injury all winter and it's finally feeling pretty good. Did tempo squats with 135 on the bar and I've never been happier, lol! Appreciate every moment.
Alan, Congrats on the new baby! I loved this video and the vlogging style. It had me cracking up. Thanks as always for the great info too.
Thank you so much for the words in the beginning! Really needed them. ❤️
It's great to see another natural lifter! Your a warrior and a badass!
You just brought Sunshine to my UK winter! I'm back to newbie gains at the gym after a long break from MS relapse. What you said at the start was beautifully poignant and right on! I'm just doing alternate days of strength and cardio right now... but your plan makes a lot more sense in doing couple days strength training together. Might join ya! xxx
Why does Planet Fitness keep giving thumbs down to these videos.
Gave u a thumbs for ranting planet fitness
I'm the one giving him a thumbs down cuz he's a fat fuck💯💯💯👌
Coz planet fitness sucks ball's
How do you know who gives thumbs down? Was that a joke?
I love how Alan writes the number 8
my favourite part is hearing almost my exact gym playlist in the background
Damn he was thankful for the gym before it was taken away by the pandemic. It means a lot more when you can say it while you have it
I hear some Korpiklaani in the background, good choice
Fuck yes Ensiferum playing in the background! Top choice of music, Alan.
I'll follow along!
Really enjoy the dad bod series! Keep it going and hope you and yours have great health
Starting the Untamed programme tomorrow, just figuring out some RPE numbers. Thanks!
