Thanks man, I know you are right. I think from January to March I’m going to run your program exactly how you have it shown on the video. Appreciate the feedback man!
Holy fuck! 730 before the surgery. You are a crazy man Brian.
All the best with your surgery brother!

Glad to see you back and posting, and looking forward to the great “no excuses” example you will set as you smash your surgical recovery. Keep killing it man.
Are you going to get your foot fixed as well?
Good luck with your surgery and recovery!
Awesome PR! Looking forward to your recovery man.

Your content is getting better and better, very inspirational.
The hoodies are coming out just in time -I need some new zippered ones, score!!!
Uncle Nic is going to rock the channel for you while you’re hurt. And women are going to be gobblesmacked when they see how strong and athletic your wife is. I saw that Loyal photo where she was doing a human flag using you as the flagpole, fantastic!
Insane PR and Goodluck with your surgery, I hope all goes well.
Hey brian i am a powerlifter age 30 been lifting for 11 years i have done 531/conjugate/basic linear programming before and my best lifts are 200kg squat,220kg deadlift,155kg pause bench press at 105kg. Was looking at your linear program and was wondering if you ever used variations for the main and secondary lift? i was thinking just for the 8’s and 5’s block then back to the main lift for 3’s block or would you suggest only using variation for secondary lift? Thanks for your time mate and good luck with surgery.
@isdatnutty That sounds awesome man! I hope it goes well for you!
@strongmanvinny2 Hahah thanks man, if your gonna be dumb, you gotta be tough!
@T3hPwnisher Dude, I have your example to follow! I’ll be back asap and it is because of individuals like you brother!
@dicksharpe Nah man because of putting together all of the equipment for the gym expansion, it would just put me at too much of a deficit to do any of my normal work and i’m afraid my business will go under if I did it.
@TX_iron Hahah thanks brother!
@punnyguy Thank you so much brother and yep, you are going to be seeing a lot of uncle nic and My Wife while I recovery my friend!
@chriscori7 Thanks so much brother!
@Shaun87 Yea man you can definitely do that but if you have been lifting for 11 years then i think there are a lot of other types of programs that would yield much better results than linear brother. But you should definitely do what you enjoy doing!
===================================================
So it has been a few days since surgery and I am doing very well (At least i think). Definitely a lot of pain but it is nothing compared to broken backs and shattered Knee caps, so i will take this any day of the week!
But I can’t do a whole lot so I am relegated to writing a lot of programs. So i did a Black Friday deal that i am leaving up until Monday if you guys are interested in me writing you something up, you can save some money and the turn around is fast because i don’t have much else to do. Anyway if you are interested, email me, but this is a video explaining the surgery and my plans.

Glad you’re in good spirits man! A close friend of mine had surgery for a torn labrum in his shoulder last year. He managed to recover well ahead of schedule and is back stronger and more confident in his body than ever. Something to look forward to!
Glad you’re past the surgery stuff. A lifting friend had that surgery a few years ago at 42. His benching is back at 405+, and he’s stronger than ever at 46 now.

Hi alpha, good to see you’re doing so well. I really hope you’re using your time to write that book - the sooner it’s done the sooner I can get it read!
Ant idea when the atlas neversate hoodies will be back in stock?

@mr.v3lv3t That is so encouraging, thank you brother!
@biker Dude, that is awesome, i hope I can say the same in a few months! thanks man!
@Tim_Tom Hahah i wish brother, my time is getting filled with some cool stuff though! But a lot of cool business stuff coming up this year, so I am not sure on a book date just yet. And sadly man, the Atlas Sweatshirts won’t be out again until next year. This years Hoodie has the winner of the Logo contest on it. Sorry brother, but Once they are gone, they are gone. We don’t re-stock them.

Well, I did a few videos since I have been back here:
And Two Weeks Post Rotator Cuff Surgery, I decided it was time to get back after it. I am unable to use my Arm for the foreseeable future, but I am getting creative in an attempt to stave off insanity and weakness…Jury is out on whether I am being Successful at either…

Ahh, that’s a shame. But you snooze you lose I guess! Keep on smashing it
Loved your return to training video Alpha. Doctors can be frustrating with advice, but you are moving in a good direction. I am excited to see how it all turns out.
Have you given any thoughts to belt squats? I have an Ironmind belt squat belt I have never used. I could mail it your way if you are in need of one.

Merry Christmas @Alpha And hope your shoulders healing up well.
Thank you all for your kind words and I’m sorry I haven’t been as present on here but the Gym expansion has kept me pretty busy. But if you guys want to take a look at what the new gym looks like and what i have been up to, you can check it out here:

Gym looks awesome man! I’ve got a couple friends in Silver Spring which I think is about an hour from you, I think when I’m down there this summer we may have to take a ride and visit!
@mr.v3lv3t Thank you so much! And you definitely should!
=====================================================
So I have been working out, but it may be easier to watch than actually explain what I have been doing. But I did get a 545lb No hands Deadlift…Soooo i suppose that is… special?
