I love how you're embracing the natural community that's been growing on CZcams. We've all learned so much from you over the years.
14:48 "I used to do 5 sets of 20 reps. That's like- 100 reps."
Underrated commentary 10/10 😂
@Alan_Thrall get lost, scammer
Awesome man! Glad to see you participate in this. I love the list and I'm glad to see the front squat getting so much love too! I've always said front squats are one of the best upper back strengthening exercises in existence.
Hi coath
Surprised you have the gall to show your face on YT after Vegan Gains exposed your incompetence and gross dereliction in training and injuring a cancer sufferer.
7:00 Starting Strength of all people have a presentation where Sully discusses how the energy systems aren't as distinct as people think, and it's the aerobic pathways that "feed" the anaerobic pathways. So better cardio = better strength training. Cardio creates gains. It's part of the reason why, for example, so many people observe that manual laborers tend to have a higher baseline level of strength when they start lifting
Interesting point
" Cardio creates gains. It's part of the reason why, for example, so many people observe that manual laborers tend to have a higher baseline level of strength when they start lifting"
Really? Or is it because manual laborers tend to lift stuff all day which makes them stronger?
Don't tell Rip.
@@Delerisk manual laborers aren’t lifting extremely heavy weights in structured sets to near failure. Especially with modern machinery. They’re lifting and carrying kinda heavy things and mostly just being on their feet and moving all day long. That’s more endurance than it is strength though yeah their grip strength is usually gonna be really solid.
Also being able to do a wider range of things in different energy zones creates more work capacity and ‘recovery’ capacity. Obviously there’s a balance but at least a little bit of Z1-4 cardio in various doses is probably going to help most* people
I absolutely love this list. Your videos have always provided me with the structure I needed to establish a good baseline of strength!
Thank you! Definitly gonna include front squats and push presses in my routine
Great list Alan. I do most of these exercises today.
Hope you and your family are doing well.
Such a well-produced video. I especially loved the Shankle worship. The videos from that gym back in the day were one-of-a-kind 👌
Thanks for this. I just found your channel and am extremely grateful that I did. Spotting a Power Trip shirt was also a great bonus 🤘
Been loving hanging leg raises and pushing ab wheel roll-outs. Still working on getting full-ROM on the ab-wheel from my feet, but we're getting there.
Great list. Well thought out. And absolutely practical.
Thanks for the list, excellent choices (with the logic), I'll include a couple in my workouts!
I like Alan because he's natty, honest and gives real good tips.
To the point. Another great one Alan!
Thanks for providing this important information, I learned a lot from it and will try to add it to my routine and improve myself.
Thank you🙏
Great list Alan, I agree 100% with your selection
As always nice to watch. Thanks a lot.
Thanks Alan! Great video. I would also add dips to the body weight exercises as the third movement in the trifecta: pull ups, push ups, and dips (parallel bar exercises) plus endless variations.
Excellent!!! Good talk Alan.
Running is insanely underrated when it comes to its impact on resistance training as well as daily activity. The amount of work capacity increase that I gained from running is crazy.
This is the best best exercises video ive ever seen. Stroke of genius to throw in running 😊
Thanks for the videos as always.
As usual Allan just doing GREAT STUFF !
Totally agree on loving push press. My strict press feels so much stronger and more stable when I've included it in my programming.
Great video. Good information on what I should focus on.
The explanation part was the most important bit of the video. Loved it
Lunges are something I did when I first started working out but once I realized how much stronger I was getting by doing barbell squat I wrote them off. Fast forward about a decade later to several months ago and I throw my back out deadlifting for the first time after years of deadlifting without issue. To rehab (after getting medical care) I tried squatting in all variations and doing light RDLs to keep blood flowing to heal and rebuild strength but saw little to no progress.
Then I started doing lunges and immediately picked out where the weakness was that caused the injury in the first place, am finally starting to see progress in recovering and the mobility in my hips is the best it's been in years.
Moral of the story: lunges are more important than people realize.
very interesting point of view, as always, thank you
You have always taught and inspired.thanks
Excellent list; good for at home wo’s!
Really helpful explanation of the push press. I've been doing all my overhead work BTN lately, but now I'm thinking of adding push press back in.
yeah this vid is all it took to get me outta the strict only mindset..gonna do it tomorrow
YES, FRONT SQUAT. You are spot on with the clean and push press. Also, seeing you cut through the grass is funny. I still fear stepping on grass after the Army. 😂
preach it brotha
1. Pendlay Row
2. Wide Grip Lat Pulldown
3. Spider Curls
4. Lateral Raises
5. JM Press
6. Seated Overhead Dumbell Tricep Extensions
7. Barbell Squat
8. Deadlift
9. Farmers Walk
10. Reverse HyperExtension
"Gas-Station Ready" 😂
I'd also like to add Swimming as an important functional movement (and a fun/dynamic one!)
That's one idiom I've never heard
Great list. I need to check to diversify my training.
Solid video as always.
Great list!
Dude, you kind of just changed my life. Ever since I stopped doing Crossfit, I've tried and failed several times to do the Starting Strength NLP. I did have other things happen in the post-Crossfit years (having kids, primarily), but my lack of enthusiasm for lifting has been a big contributor to constantly failing. Your Top 10 overlaps with almost every one of my favorites. I guess I have been looking for justification to get off the Starting Strength path, and just go out there and lift weights and have fun. I like the Front Squat dadgummit! I'm going to go out there and do it!
I just have to state how much I agree with one thing you state, Alan's way of presenting things is inspiring and I often feel like listening to him I have permission to work out the way I like. Yes, I know we don't need permission, maybe it is just reinforcement for doing what feels right when I workout. Great video! And comment
Omg, LOVED the boy doing push-ups!! Well done!!
im glad you mentioned lunges. i built most of my leg mass with reverse lunges. I think Ill always prefer them to squats. very easy to modify to emphasize different parts of the leg.
Single leg exercises also carry over to athleticism better
@@rico14 it is cool but im mainly going for hypertrophy and it seems the general consensus is that lunges arent as good for quads when compared to squats.
@@penumbrium oh I see. I think as long as you can progressively overload it doesn’t matter too much, but I think squats are easier to track
Yeah i agree, lunges and Bulgarian squats are very effective. Running Uphill and leg isometrics are Killer too.
But it's still worh it to achieve good squat form.
Thanks for joining in this with your usual bluntness and energy.
I love your content Alan
Best list so far!
Great info bro. Wish I could go to your gym
Alan, your list is better than the lists provided by some others. Your list has better carryover in real life.
I don't have any top 10s, but I particularly like conventional deadlift, high bar squat, push press, weighted pull ups, and Farmer Walk. These are my top 5 actually. And these are 90% of my training.
Nice list of exercises from someone like Alan with a strength athletics background. On the other hand, I could imagine someone who has a strictly bodybuilding background would have cable machine stuff in their list, like lat pulldowns and cable rows.
Some superb picks ,
Stopped training 5 years ago, and watching AT on CZcams. Bloody hell Alan’s changed!
Planning to get back to training as I’m 58 years old and need to get back to it.
So this selection will be the core to my routine.
ENJOYMENT! So many people skip this as being important. If you're going to make it to being the jacked old guy in the gym you better enjoy what you're doing
1) RFESS
2) Pull-up
3) Push-up
4) SL RDL
5) Sprints
6) SL Bounds
7) Squat jumps
8) Pogo hops
9) Hanging leg raise
10) Hamstring sliders
lookin like a big time plyo list
Used to watch a lot of your videos, been awhile. Looking much healthier and better nowadays.
Great vid as usual ! Since you mention cleans, would you consider making an updated video about weightlifting mouvements (and power variations) ? Or more widely, power/speed based exercices in strength training ?
Best from France :)
Alan, I’ve been away from your channel for a while, but I’m back! 😊
You, my friend, look different! 👍
Great list
Underrated top 10 💯
This is high key educational for beginners
Yo Allan, I just did Push Presses for the first time, after doing quite a lot of Strict Standing OHPs. Wow. Extremely enjoyable and today my front delts are absolutely blasted. I also can feel some soreness from the tip of my fingers to my knees.
Thank you big time on this one.
Great for the calves too.
Same here. I haven't done it in a year and did again on Tuesday for the first time. If you treat it as an overload eccentric instead of a strict shoulder trainer it's easier to do. Even just 10% more then your strict OHP but done with a slower eccentric is much more work.
One thing ill always respect you for is considering the perspective of a father in your videos. Whether thats meal prepping or a top 10 list like this one. I dont see it mentioned enough in similar videos online.
Find you a girl that looks at you like the girl at you like 4:58.
Love your vids Alan!
1. Squat
2. Bench press
3. Deadlift
Big 3.
4. OHP, especially strict press
5. Front squats or FS variation, like SSB front squats
6 Some kind of row, I would say seal row works the best
7. Face pull
8. Walk of shame
9 PSOAS march
10. swiss ball curl
Very good list overall. I prefer back squats over front squats, I feel like they make me stronger. But I always do front squats as an accessory anyway. I love power cleans, and I LOVE that you including running as well. Kind of surprised you didn't have any rowing movements on here though. Those would've been on my list instead of hanging leg raises. And I know that farmer's carries are great but I just don't really do them. Maybe I'll find some way to add them in my routine in some way. Overall great list though.
You look different since the last time I saw you (two years ago).
I was dead certain it was gonna be strength training exercises and nothing else. Then you mentioned Cleans(!). As a CrossFitter I was stunned and amazed. A high profile guy like Alan Thrall does them as well! 😮
Running was the second surprise.
Nice to see.
solid solid list
This is a pretty solid list, kinda surprised me as someone who isnt a frequent viewer
I knew you were gonna tell us to run, lol!
Completely agree on the push press and cleans. Bodybuilders sleep on the hypertrophy benifits.
So much knowledge
Nice video.
My favorite exercise is pullups and pushups. I like the convience of just training at home.
Solid list and glad to see a guy dismiss the BS lie that press-ups are somehow not awesome, plenty guys have got super muscled by simply doing push up variations, pull ups and deep high volume bodyweight squats. In terms of having some equipment (just a dumbell and a bench) I would add good old dumbbell pullovers, obviously primarily a lat exercise, but get some upper chest, tricep and ribcage expansion and excellent for shoulder mobility . Hardly ever see anyone do these anymore and get that a cable can be used but never feels the same stretch you get with the extreme ROM the OG can give
Great list! 😬👍💪
Specific to weed out variations:
1.) Conventional DL
2.) Power Clean
3.) Front Squat
4.) Hack Squat
5.) Dumbbell Row
6.) Running
7.) Tibialis Raise (kettlebell or tib bar; doesn't matter)
8.) Jump Rope
9.) Weighted Pull Up
10.) Strict OHP
All my favorites. It isn't perfect, but it'll keep me, personally, coming back consistently.
Edit: Honorable mention to the archer pushup and typical bench press. I didn't have room, but love these for chest after I noticed that was missing.
Alan Thrall top ten exercises . # 1 High bar back squat #2 Front squat # 3 paused hight bar back squat # 4 low bar back squat # 5 paused low bar back squat # 6 tempo squats # 7 Zercher squats # 8 over head squats # 9 power clean # 10 Front squats again with honorable mention to goblet squats for beginners.
Thank you, I took a lot out of this video.
Excellent video! Really like the point about strict vs push press - I think I might try the push press since my strict press isn't going anywhere. Power cleans look like a really good idea. And oh no ... I have to start running?! 😮😅
i traded running for cycling and its just wonderful :D
@@vittocrazi Yeah, I actually used to do a ton of cycling. I had my bike trainer out a number of times over the winter but unfortunately lost interest... My bad definitely!
You are a machine, what an ispiration!!
1. Hack squat
2. Leg Extensions
3. Neutral grip lat pulldown
4. High to low cable lat lows
5. Hammer Strength Incline Chest Press
6. Cable laterals
7. Hammer curls
8. Tricep cable pushdowns
9. Seated calf raises
10. Leg raises
I greatly appreciate any professional who supports that there is no “best way” to do anything. Big ups ✊🏻
Happy to see cleans here!
Once again, thank you for existing pal
Love the list. As primarily a middle and long distance runner this list is actually pretty similar to mine if I had to make one. Assuming we can put hex bar DLs in the deadlift category lol
Hex bar deadlifts are superior for most people, as they're easier and safer. Greg Nuckols wrote a nice article arguing that.
@@rbarreira2 They're also much more running specific
Deadlift
Clean
Bench press
Push press
Squat (any!)
Pull up
Running
Skipping
Sled pushing/pulling
Backward 7’s (or plank variations with rotation)
Great video 🏆🥇😊
I love these! I also miss you goofy-ness in your videos lol
I only goblet squat and it has done wonders for my legs and my core.
So much 100% support on running as a critical part of fitness
Love your list. I prefer split squats over lunges. Mounting biking over running. Preference. Recently have been doing close grip curl bar incline bench. Yes, sounds ridiculous. Triceps burn.
"fit chick booty builder done with a colorful foam bar" LOL! I can attest I prefer the black foam :). Great list!
Always a good day when Alan uploads
Anyone have a link to Alec and his list?
alan again with the quality video. i got a question though - zercher box squat or front box squats for explosiveness/strenght? cant decide for my next program since they have lots of similarities (3rd and last squating day)
Most of your list + Chest dips
Well said 💡
Good list
big on running!! huge tip, try and find a song that has a beat that paces your running. Makes it super easy to zone in and its fun!!
you are huge. keep it up
I have a strong love/hate for front squats, because they feel great and work extremely well, but I'm soooo weak comparatively, and the numbers get in my head.
overcome the number chasing and obtain big leg gains
@@imitatsiya I did 6 weeks of front squats, 5 sets of 8 reps at around RPE 8-9, lost leg size and strength :(
But I guess that if I just became really really good at front squats, it would probably make me grow better... It's a hard exercise to perform and it's hard for me to really load the legs, compared to back squats and leg press for example.
I've got some long ass arms, so there awkward for me. Goblet squats work well for me, but I'm not a "heavy" lifter.
at the end of the day, its a hip/knee/ankle flexion movement… like every other squat… choose the one where you have proper technique and rom
@@farstrider79
Same, im 189 cm with 198 cm long arms.
I put the bar on my shoulders, and cross my forearms over and place my hands on the top of the bar. It puts alot of emphasis on shoulders; but its better than the wrist pain from having long arms
So cool to see you jump on this trend too.
Cleans are sooo under rated. Like you, I picked them up training for football when I first started lifting. I’ve taken that lift into my kickboxing training. I know I’m powerful because of it.
