Anyone ever check out this dudes YouTube? The guy is a fuckin animal. He’s such an animal that I’m thinking about switching my training to strongman style, or at least incorporating some elements.

Dude is ex-counterterrorism and opened a gym called neversate when he retired (from what I can make of it anyways). Started doing strongman and is Maryland’s strongest man 2 or 3 times in a row.

Either way, check this guy out if you have the time. I’m sure a lot of you will act too cool for school and say he’s not impressive, but the dude is a beast.

No homo. Ok, maybe a little.

Yeh Brians a very inspirational person to listen to, I've watched his channel for some time now. There are loads of different videos on there that cover everything to do with training and running a gym etc. The guy literally functions off just protein shakes then a few meals later on in the day all whilst running his gym and training, one of the most motivated and positive people I've watched online. Check out the video with his avacado, egg & rice recipe its an awesome dish.

That's super cool. Also inspiring. If those people can do it anyone can. No excuses.

Would be interested in what gymjunkie thinks of him, since he’s the only strongman competitor that I know of on here.

What am I chopped liver?

lol fuck man! I completely forgot you did strongman. I knew I was leaving at least one person out.

What do you think of this dude? He's super impressive to me, but i'm not a strongman competitor.

His approach is good. Go into the gym and your sets with purpose. I am guilty of copying some of his routine. If you want to take a break from modeling and get strong, he has some good starters lol

lol nice. I always start with a one of the big 3 for low reps (or weighted chins on back day), but I could definitely be putting more effort into strength and let any future aesthetics come as they may. I'll be giving it a go soon for sure. Probably when I get back from vacation in October.

Strength is my biggest addiction. I lose some and I get depressed.

Yea I think i'm always trying to do powerbuilding so I can get the best of both worlds. Might be time to throw that out the window and just chase more strength. More size is bound to follow if I'm eating right, plus my fiancee likes that look better anyways, so fuck it. It's at least worth giving a shot to see how I dig it.

The muscles look different too. Solid look to them, the downside is lots of vascularity.

a good friend of mine that switched to strong man from power lifting likes him a lot ...sent me to his youtube channel when I was having issues with deadlift form

DfromPhilly's picture

nice. Yea he's got a lot of good tips. His breathing and bracing tips were good too. I thought I had It down but now I feel like I can get more in there.

I think i'm gonna try one of his programs that he put out there in 3 to 6 months. He calls it darkhorse. It's pretty much just conjugate but I like how he set this one up. When I do I'm gonna throw some strongman type shit in the accessories and see how I dig it.
