Old School Training Secrets with @atlaspowershrugged

Thanks for having me on, I really enjoyed our conversation! My favorite part was when you jump scared me with that crazy forearm flex! You're a modern day Chuck Sipes! After all the value ive gotten from exercises and principles you promote it was cool to see you finding value in something i promote!

this is top notch bald destiny content

Probably the least impressive natural physique

I’m wondering what brand jeans he wears? I’ve been tearing my jeans apart trying to lift. My favorite brand is Cintas cargo pants because they’re loose enough to not tear during my lifts!

Enjoyed this convo!

Wow he is about to have 3 kids under 4/5. Thats a big undertaking but a huge blessing. Congrats!

Who's the Australian guy he's referring to?

Tremendous knowledge, thank you.

Do you think cleans and pushups would be okay for working out or do you believe you need to do all this other stuff to be well rounded or whatever

I’d love to see you put your interviews on podcast platforms like Apple, Spotify, etc… Would be awesome to listen to things like this during my commutes.

Just aesthetic video tips, I would flip(mirror) your face so you are looking inwards, or change place with other peson. It would look better as you are not facing towards outside screen. I think you like it better. Also it will seem you are looking towards a person in the interview.

Dont take it seriously too, I have autism for real so I am very detail oriented, Just want help

Yo Alex I think you should do one of these videos with Linleehao, another natty bodybuilder, he isn't as well known as others but he is big and has a strong accent, and does Zercher lifts so i would love to see you two discuss bodybuilding training!

Alex do you have a platform where you can receive messages? I'd like to have a short convo bout something I learned recently that exploded my strength l edit: i sent you a message on instagram!

the zercher deadlifts are my new favorite back exercise as of 2 weeks ago, got up to 300lbs last time goals 405

I really would like to see you in a podcast with @the bioneer

I am enjoying your interviews Alex. It’s good to learn more about the lifters out there.

Ok. I guess I'll start training my obliques 😅

when youre built like jon jones, deadlifts are EZ

Hersovyac next? He’s got a lot of really good knowledge I feel

Real Atlaspowershruggers tap in

I can do 15 Reverse nordics with a 5kg Plate behind my Back after my Quad cpound as Second lift, i weight around 80, IS this good?

Got to say im loving these interviews alex, the fitness industry needs more of this, i tune in and watch these every time, the one with Eguene was excellent i already followed him before but i'd never heard of fazlifts before unfortunately the algorithm hadn't sent me any of his videos before, just want to say this because i know the content might not get the same numbers as your other stuff due to the long format but it is very much appreciated by those of us who like this content, phenomenal questions asked!

So much value! Thanks for this surprising collab 🙏

The only time i get a pump in my long head tricep is during dumbell pullovers

Thanks for all this beautiful information, I'll be adding those zercher movements to my weekly training.

Have the horsecocker next.

Surprised there was no mention of bent press, side press, overhead walks, Turkish getups those kind of lifts. Classic old school stuff that atlas does that I'm sure is valuable that no one does anymore.

I love Atlas, thank you for recording this.

I’m basically the same I just never got lucky and picked to pop off on instagram 😂

🙌💯

Bro you have to interview the BLOOD AND GUTS 2.0 guy

Somewhere around 2018 when I turned forty, my testosterone came up low on my blood tests, so I started taking TRT. The other side of that is that my triglycerides were way high and my A1C came back at 9.7%. I started working on my metabolic health and my triglycerides and blood sugar are way better. On top of that, my total testosterone is now in the 600s. And I only did TRT for less than a year.

This guy destroyed revival fitness

Great video! Absolutely loved it. 🙌

Odd lifts feel amazing
And make lifting super fun

Here’s a tip for calf’s. After maxing out for 20+ reps with 500 pounds, my donkey calf machine was done. I switched to single leg donkey calf raises and all of sudden gains. Steady gains for the first time in years. Give it a try guys.

This was a long time coming!

Algorithm

His name instantly reminded me of the book atlas shrugged haha

Been following atlas for a few years, love what he does and has to say.

I gained a lot of respect for Atlas from his debate with Kasseem on N1. This was a great episode, I'm gonna try the zercher squat next mesocycle!

Please take elastaboy for an interview

Atlas was the main inspiration in my picking up Jefferson curls. I started with 5lbs, yesterday I did 220 for 10 reps. Next Monday I graduate to 2 plates!

Regarding weights for calisthenic skills:

Do weighted pull ups for the one arm pull up
Do Zanetti press for back lever, planche, and Maltese (gymnasts actually do this)
