Great to have you back at it Alpha. That intro gave me chills.
"Pain is temporary. It may last a minute, or an hour, or a day, or a year, but eventually it will subside and something else will take its place. If I quit, however, it lasts forever. That surrender, even the smallest act of giving up, stays with me. So when I feel like quitting, I ask myself, which would I rather live with?” --Lance Armstrong

Great to have you back man. Loved your recent videos as well. Definitely want to go watch at the Arnold one day!
@Ironwarrior25 Thank you so much brother!
“Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness. Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation), there is one elementary truth, the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits one-self, then providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one’s favor all manner of unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance, which no man could have dreamed would have come his way. Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it. Begin it now.” --William Hutchison Murray

Here is a video where the Crew and I talk about if you are the Strongest Person in your gym, then maybe it is time to find a new gym. Check it out if you are interested. Getting advice from people of this caliber is huge, so I would listen to the other guys!

Hey Brian just subbed to ya channel great stuff glad you’re on the comeback i wondering if you could spare some tips , reps,sets, techniques for and progression for zercher squats hope im not out of line by asking on your thread thanks love the content and knowledge you give out thanks again
Also glad your line’s out. Try not to kill yourself in attaining your former strengths. They always return.
@odin1010 Hey brother, thanks for asking but I am not a huge fan of the percher squat because I think there are better options with the SSB bar and other exercise, but since I have never really worked extensively with Zercher Squats, I try not to give people advice about things i don’t do. Sorry brother!
@biker Thanks brother! Just trying not to be an idiot!
So here is the video from the OHP workout from above if you guys want to see the reps:

But for any of you who are signed up, here is a video that will help you get more reps on your tire flip event:

So for this workout, it was my first time back Squatting So i went with the Hands Wide SSB Variation because it makes things a lot harder than they reasonably should be…I was fortunate enough to hit 610x2 which is much better than expected!
Also here is a video for any of you who are a little bit short(er) or you have a comp with a high bar height in it:

Your wife can’t weight as much as that stone. Unbelievable.
Great to have you back Alpha.
I’ve been away for awhile and I have been catching up on your log. Made me feel a little silly about been all pissed off about my recent big toe strain that has sidelined me for 3 weeks.
