If you're serious about getting strong and in shape... Brian's workouts are awesome. At 46-years young, I'm running through a 12-week program for the second time and am making great gains as well as getting to the best shape of my life! Thanks Brian... money more than well spent.

so what you're saying is... *best impression of Eric Bugenhagen* IT'S A MMMMMIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINDDDDDSSSEEEEEEEEEETTTTTTTTTT

Thanks so much for this Brian. I can’t wait to see the deadlift one. I’ll gladly watch anything you sponsor.

Good stuff Brian, and Mike's presence still echoes and influences many of us to this day.

thank you Brian for your free content, have been binge watching your videos, you deserve more views!!

You train a different way than I and with slightly different goals, but this channel has rapidly become on of my favourites. You do amazing work and with extreme enthusiasm.

Absolutely loving good mornings. They are strengthening my back so much that I can squat weights I've never touched, pain free. Breathing and bracing might be helping a little too. Thanks for the assistance video and really hope you do a q and a for this one, the last one was awesome.

This man can talk! So fast, yet very clear, nearly non-stop for 20mins!

I didn't know the 3 minute, 2 minute, 1 minute squat workout is a mike jenkins thing. I did it last year the first time I visited your gym for a class and nic was in charge for the night. It was definitely rough but definitely was rewarding. Now I will make sure to do that every Thanksgiving in honor of mike, thanks for the awesome video Brian!

Brian, your protocols and mindset(s) are so awesome and inspiring!

This is gonna be my third year of watching Brian talk about this exercise for Mike, and I think I need to be apart of it this year.

Enjoy your videos, first time I’ve seen this finisher one. I usually don’t write comments but after I watched this I had to write one. After hearing about the work you do for Mike on thanksgiving. My mother passed away 14 years ago on thanksgiving day literally dropped out of no where in my drive way. Every since I go to the gym the morning of thanksgiving and hit squats, and I finish with what I called Patti (moms name) I do 225 for 20 reps, then 135 for 20 then the bar for 20. This year I will try your finisher for Mike. Thank you for all the great content you provide to the lifting world.

WOOHOO!!! THANK YOU, SIR BRIAN!!! I HAVE THAT SPEAKER AND LOVE IT IN THE GYM.

Definitely going to participate in the 3...2...1 challenge for Mike Jenkins. The way he inspires you sounds very similar to the way you inspire me, not just in lifting, but in changing my outlook in life: being thankful for the chance to experience pain, to embrace the suck, to die empty. Just hope you know the work you do means a lot to a lot of people. Keep it up brother.

Brian I almost gave up on my squat but all these help a bunch and now I love hitting legs again

I can’t wait for the pain come Thanksgiving, thank you Mike for the squat workout and thank you Brian for bringing it to my attention, I pumped for the pain lol

I still drive old-school, and I need the aux cord stuff too! As for the squat stuff, these are great tips. Good mornings are not evil for sure. I've brought them back into my workout and gotten the form down and they've been a big help to me.

A search for info on the Thomas Inch Bell brought me here...I am 63...in 1996...in a squat rack...1120lbs partial squat...the following saturday was 1120lbs partial deadlift...not full range...but many reps 12,13 ...the bar could hold no more plates...Texas Power Bar...you are very informative...one of the the best instructors speaking English...Thanks...

Can't wait for the day I consider a 4 plate squat a finisher.

Brian. Thanks again for the 12 week personalized program brother. Week three, progressing well, strength up with every lift. These workouts are exhaustive. For that reason, I do a two on, one off with my days. My muscles for the day are absolutely smoked for two days after. Thanks again!! Gains at 54!

I’m totally down for the Mike Jenkins squat challenge! Squat day will fall on Black Friday for me so it’ll be perfect. I was getting my pic line put in to treat Burkitts Lymphoma just before you had yours taken out. I had 5 months off from lifting while my body had chemo to deal with. Simply doing the dishes had me feeling like I just did a heavy set of deadlifts. Now I’m back at the weights, building back up to where I was. Come Thanksgiving I’ll be nearly 3 months in remission. What better reason to take on the Mike Jenkins challenge than simply because I CAN!

The push-up challenge is done the same as the squat - holding in the down position. The pull up challenge is done holding in the hang position unless you are a superstud and can hold in the up position. The overhead press is done holding in the lockout position. It would be cool to see your crew or one of your classes trying one of the challenges in a video!

Big bro! You are a dope coach, "Salley ups" (deck a cards) Tabata madness. Keep grinding and embrace the suck. Big ups to you and the crew!

For anyone who plans on doing the tabata. Search tabata songs on Spotify or whatever streaming you use. Cool songs too - I work out in a commercial gym alone with my wireless buds on so there a lifesaver and keep me accountable. These are cool ideas I was doing tabatas for dynamic effort work

Really helpful video Brian

Here in germany we don´t celebrate Thanksgiving, but I checked and it is on november the 22nd this year. Right on my squat day, so no excuse to not do the finisher right? And also, will you make a q and a video for squats too? If yes, my question is: What do you do for rehab, if your lower back feels a little funny after a heavy squat day? Is it okay if you back gets a little beat up after squats (I´m doing high bar)?

Long live Neversate

Please make a video of you doing Mike Jenkins memorial finisher!

Brian, your chain setup with the metal O-ring is nice. Did you buy this setup as a finished product, or purchase the pieces individually?

Hey Brian have you tried Bulgarian deadlifts before with a barbell? Just wondering because I haven’t seen you do them in your videos. I highly recommend them I just started doing them and they absolutely LIGHT UP you posterior chain

If there's a product that works and you let people know about it, AND you get a payday by talking about it, I'd say everybody wins.

Power!

Hey brain, I'm currently on doctors orders to not lift weights because of a wrist injury (or even just body weight stuff like push ups and pull ups). I know one of your pieces of advice is to do pull ups and weighted pull ups in place of curls. I've never really like curls so once I'm cleared to return I'll definitely give it a try. Only downside is, before I injured my wrist I was unable to do a pull up and I'm doubting my ability to do one when I get back, so how can you work your way up to doing a pull up and eventually weighted pull ups?

Wow it’s amazing so many people do real deal classes and your gym is huge. Does speakers are better then. Sonos?

Hey Brian, you have a strong core and made videos on challenging core work. Some of it is a bit dauting though, as in, can't even clear the first rep without feeling like the discs are moving (*shudders*). So here's a video idea, can you make a "core progression" video, where you show core exercises from easier to harder and how to build up to those, where the sticking points are etc?

I feel like walking lunges dont feel good at knees becausee you are actually doing step opposite way than you should...if you think about it, when you step up somewhere high with your front leg, you are doing negative part mostly by your quads, insteqd of hammstrings and glutes... Long story short, you can do reverse lunges or split squats even for one rep maxes and your knees will feel just fine

Do one for Mike,.,. I'm on ( i sometimes do 3×20 )

The push up challenge is done the same as the squat. You stay in the down position of the push-up until it says up. You may also want to try it with pull ups where you hang in the down position. I do it with overhead press by just reversing the order. When it says up you bring the bar down. When it says down you push the bar up and hold it in the lockout position until it says up again. You can also reverse the order on pull-ups so that you are “hanging” in the up position. Possible future video?

That is an insane discount tbh

I have tendonitis in my right knee which bothers me alot while squatting. Are there any exercises that can help? I know my legs are uneven strength wise, so maybe this is playing a big part?

@tommywho924

5 жыл бұрын

Note: I am not a doctor. I also have knee problems (possibly tendonitis, possibly i tore something; never went to a doctor) and squats bothered me for a long time. I started with leg extensions. Literally the lightest weight on the machine hurt at first. I did 4 sets of 25 at the end of every workout. Once that felt all right, i went to the second weight in the stack. It was a slow build up but eventually that strengthened my leg to the point i could start squatting again. I also did a lot of leg press and lunges during that time. If you don't know how to low bar squat I would look into it as well. That did wonders for relieving the stress on my knees. Also, standing hip extensions with a band seemed to help build some much needed knee stability. Good luck mate.
