@Tougher That is awesome man thank you so much for the feedback and kind words! I really do appreciate them and I am glad you are finding the logs helpful!


@Benanything Hahaha well, I am not even sure if they have an American version. And they haven’t reached out to me at all, nor have I reached out to them. If they are interested, they know where to find me…But I appreciate the vote of confidence!

Hey Brian. I’ve been following your channel since you had 800 subs.
I Just wanted to say thanks for the OHP and Bench press tips videos. Your tips helped me get several PRs over the past couple of months. You have the best lifting channel on youtube imo, hopefully you’ll hit 100k subs soon.

If you have ever wanted to be able to do a Muscle Up, I break down how I do it in 5 simple steps. Go get your first muscle up before Santa Comes!

Love the new hoodie! And my wife said I looked good in it so that was a cool bonus.

The clothing looks really cool and I would love to support you by buying one but unfortunately the shipping costs would be higher than the initial price for a tshirt (I live in Germany).

Hi Alpha

Don’t know if you’ve heard about this or seen this video? It’s about traditional rural strength sports in the Basque area of Spain.

Love the your content you put out and hope to try out your linear program in the new year.

Wife gave me the same feedback. Might need to market that as a selling point, haha.

Congrats on the PR Alpha!

I’ve been out of the game for awhile, going through some major health issues and surgeries. Very cool to see the gym and your online business is taking off more than ever. I am getting back to hitting the weights and physical activity in general, and your stuff is an inspiration as much as ever. Keep working hard!

Hey Alpha, how tight do you wrap your knee wraps?

Alpha,

regarding your template here: http://www.neversate.com/wrath/2015/1/31/new-programming-for-february

I assume it’s 3 days per week: day 1, rest, day 2, rest, repeat?

thanks,

@Benanything I’m not really sure how to answer that man. I think what might be tight to one person might be loose to another. I wrap them myself so they aren’t as tight as if someone else was doing it. But if I had to quantify it, I would say that I wrap them 70-80% of tight as possible. I hope that helps and makes a little bit of sense.


@strong_runner At my gym we always run things like this:
Monday -Train
Tuesday - Rest
Wednesday - Train
Thursday -Rest
Friday - Train
Saturday - Train
Sunday -Rest

I hope that helps man!

How tight are they in reference to your SBD knee sleeves then? That should be a good reference point.

@Benanything Hmm well “tighter” I feel like this is asking, how much tighter are your lifting shoes from your dress shoes. The wraps a definitely tighter but nothing like you see top guys doing with pre stretching the wraps then have them ratchet them down on you. I pull a good bit of the slack out of them but they aren’t “powerlifter” tight.

  • On the first attempt at 560 my right hand slipped off the bar. i tried to save it but couldn’t. The second time I tried holding the bar in my hands instead of more on my shoulders. This was a no go…Was angry. So it goes.
