So what's /fit/'s opinion of this guy?

My opinion is who is he and what does he do?

>>38405135
I don't know who he is. Why do you have a picture of a strange man squeezing his pecs erotically?

he's usually the first hit on youtube when I look for form checks and shit so I sure hope he's okay.

>>38405135
he's so natty it hurts to watch

good advice though.

>>38405135
Likeable with good videos but a little disappointed in his strength levels. I recently saw a video of him deadlifting with Mark Bell. He couldn't get 455lbs. Mark was disappoint.

He spent the majority of his training in strongman which has a lot more endurance and isn't as focused on one-rep maxes. It's like saying you're disappointed with a gymnast because he can't squat 495

Strongmen are better dl pound for pound than PLs.

This. Maybe if he stopped warming up and stretching for 30 minutes he'd be stronger. Stretching for that long is probably not good for strength at all, at least not right before a workout.

>>38405844
Watch his training videos, he still has weak lifts regardless if it's strongman or powerlifting.

But thats wrong

>>38406530
Who has the record for the DL? In fact, who are the ones setting the record for the DL - yeah, strongmen. Marius could walk into a meet and easily have the best DL in his weight class. They just train the damn thing with high volume and a lot of frequency, coupled with the fact they lift and carry heavy shit all the time.

>>38406619
They deadlift by a different rule set that allows them to hitch the fuck out of the bar and thus lock out weights that they wouldn't lock out in 10 years under powerlifting rules.

>>38406650

This is true, but you're arguing about strongman being an excuse for being weaker than a powerlifter, which obviously isn't the case. Even if Alan were to hitch the bar he would still be weak.

>>38406664
Nah, I'm not the anon you were arguing with, I just tuned in to your last statement.

>>38406670

and i'm not either one of those, i just tuned in as well.

>>38405135
I respect and enjoy Mr. Thrall. His form videos are the ones I learned the most from.

>>38406664
That's the point - he shouldn't be a fucking weakling.

>>38406677
Kek

Well then, the fuck we do now?

>>38405135
looked at a video on how to deadlift from him and he suggested to not deadlift and do some stupid hanging deadlift shit, fuck off i want to have fun at the gym so just teach my how to deadlift

>>38406695
I've seen that video dozens of times and that doesn't sound familiar. At what point was it? https://youtu.be/Y1IGeJEXpF4

>>38406695
Multiple coaches teach hanging deadlifts and deadlift variations to people who have problems executing the movement or have mistakes in a certain area. That's not the problem.

he should shave, he has shittier beard genetics, looks like a faggot hobo.

I watch these guys, it is retarded strength, you can't get more primeval than this, pure test.

>>38405386
One of his earlier vids has him deadlifting over 500 at a powerlifting meet. I think he's also lost a good 25lbs of bodyweight recently which might explain the strength loss.

Still, yes, I'd expect that kind of deadlift from someone who's been training for 2 years. Not as long as he has.

He is really weak, i diddylifted 500 pounds after 3 years and i didnt even use creatine.
