That is amazingly accurate.

Was this an 800+ post set up?

I honestly had no dog in the fight until @T3hPwnisher mentioned this…

I was reminded of a thread I created and forgotten about … in which the gent made a off handed comment regarding my youngest son that I ignored at the time.

God what a thread that was. Back before I even had an acccount, was just a teenage kid following along. Two monstrous dudes, heavy AF fronts. Ahh, back when t-nation was t-nation :wink:

PS: not one to long for the past, but I do miss some of the old posters. Alpha was a boss. Some fella whose name started with a J and went to prison (yeah I know, not a ton to go off, great bench though). Seems a few real hard core players kinda left the scene. Shame.

he still is. hopefully you’re following him on other social media. If not, Brian Alsruhe , his channel is NeverSate on a few platforms.

Echoing. I attribute like half of the Press gains I’ve seen since watching his cues videos on them. Something about how he explains things really clicked with me.

Plus I’m a sucker for giant sets to save on time, as I work out after work in my garage prior to making dinner.

Know the man personally, went to his gym out in Maryland quite a few times when I was stationed there. Fantastic dude, nicest guy in the world and an absolute monster in the gym. Still a big follower of his on YouTube. I just miss the training log, though I’m happy for him moving onto bigger and better things

If I ever make it out to his neck of the woods I’d love to train at his gym. Really like the whole look and feel of it (from what I see on YouTube). Plus you’re right, he seems like an awesome dude.

I would 100% recommend it if you get the chance. I think it is honestly a fantastic training experience for anyone to really learn what it means to train with intensity, the guys at that gym are 100% invested in the work. I did a group “mindset challenge” with him once, bunch of KB swings racing to 100 reps, I can still hear him and nick (who btw, is a massive dude. He looks smaller than he is on YouTube because Brian is half gorilla, anyone walking down the street would look at nick and think him jacked as hell) screaming at me. Crazy motivating. (if you look carefully through his old videos you can see a bunch of studs crushing it, then a pasty fat guy looking like he’s trying not to cry… I’ll let you decide which one I was)

The mental fortitude of the guy is insane!

BUMP

plus some more words

I’ve been using my treadmill at least 3X a week for almost two months now. I’ve got it set at 2.8 miles/hr on 0% incline, and I still can’t run a sub-8 minute mile, no matter what I do.

I don’t understand what is going wrong, but I think a lot of it is my genetics and the other part is that I don’t think my treadmill is that good.

Can you help me?

Should probably do pistol squats :man_shrugging:

Mmm, can’t. I think my ring size is a 6, so obviously that’s a problem.

Don’t look now, but greenboy is chasing you, and I hear he’s a sub-5 minute miler.

If she’s older than 35 he’s not chasing her. Much better options in South America.

@EmilyQ - I’m kidding - joke made at his expense, not your’s.

But if she’s younger than 35, what’re the odds he can even catch her?

This thread is now back on track.
