Haha same thing I get from seeing his videos. He's just a huge dude who has a passion for lifting heavy ass weight in unconditional ways and sometimes records himself doing it for others to see. You can tell he isn't the type who is full of themselves or a sell out.
@@ZxDaddyTwizz It is also his brand though. He does something different thus he is successful. We've all seen the strongest men in the world work out in the gym, his attire and unconventional lifting style sets him apart from the crowd.
@@Goremachine He has competed in the past. It's a weird thing that people out of the bubble always assume everyone who is very strong must be competing.
The only reason you wear that stuff on a job sight is to protect yourself. In a more controlled environment like a gym it just makes more sense to wear anything else
The guy is on a farm and using whatever the local junkyard offers up...I love it! This is training for functional strength. Also wearing training kit whilst lifting greasy and sometimes sharp steel implements does not mix. Old jeans and toe tectors are the way forward! Enjoy Tom!
And what people don't realize about steel toe boots, they're actually fairly heavy and they add that extra couple pounds per boot to your feet. It's called real world weight training am I wrong
What is Joe not understanding? This dude is doing the ultimate in functional strength training. He exercises in the kinds of clothing he would be wearing out in the field. Training asymmetrically like that also guards against injury.
Joe doesn't understand why he is wearing blue jeans and heavy shirts to exercise, and why he is hiding his face. It's not to hide his identity, because there's plenty of video out there of him exercising normally, face out, normal workout clothes. You say "He exercises in the kinds of clothing he would be wearing out in the field.", which is true, but it doesn't answer the question, "why?". Why does he lift insane weights wearing clothes he would be wearing while farming? Does he farm vegetables? Does he need to lift 1000 lbs while farming vegetables? You haven't answered the actual questions. It's not that you can't come up with reasons for him to do what he's doing. The more reasons you come up with, the more Joe's question makes sense. Because Joe wants to know which of those reasons are the actual reasons. The only person who can answer Joe's questions here is Tom Haviland. Joe could have asked different questions, that you could have answered. But he didn't.
Why does anybody do anything? Of course, we can't know why unless he tells us, but we can still speculate. Technically, yes, I could come up with hundreds of random reasons for why Tom is training this way, but not a lot of reasons that make sense. He trains very methodically, and keeps detailed records of everything he is doing. That makes me think he's not just trying to get attention for doing weird lifts (like Kyriakos Grizzly). If this guy is ex-military, maybe he is trying to develop a program that can produce the most physically capable soldiers that have ever walked the planet. He was a soldier, and the types of training he is doing looks to me like it was designed to mimic all of the random shit that can happen in battle. For example, carrying a huge weight in front while dragging another weight from one shoulder (but not the other). Maybe you are wearing all your gear, and you only have one hand free to pull your buddy to safety. Maybe you have to move debris and it doesn't have anywhere easy to grip it (like a barbell), so you have to bear hug it like an atlas stone or a log. Anyway, it seems a lot more likely that he would be trying to create a super-soldier than a super-farmer. It just so happens that a farm is a really good place to build strength that you can actually use. The clothing just seems obvious to me. Instead of setting everything up perfectly so that he can lift his absolute maximum possible, he is training in a way that he can lift huge amounts under less than ideal conditions. He wants to be able to perform when he is uncomfortable: too hot, too cold, in heavy clothing, etc. It's another way to make the exercise more difficult, and it also builds the psychological strength to ignore discomfort and focus on the task at hand. Who cares what he is wearing? It's like those weekend warriors that wear full cycling spandex and ride a $2000 bicycle. You're not in the Tour de France, dude. If a guy says "I can lift 1000 lbs", and you ask him to prove it, but he starts talking about "I didn't eat breakfast. I don't have any chalk. I'm wearing the wrong clothes. I have a sore finger." etc. etc., then you probably wouldn't be as impressed. It's like when your jacked friend helps you move house, but he gets exhausted really fast. Gym muscles are for show; this guy is not training for show. I know that much for sure.

back in the 80s and 90s guys would go straight from their job to the gym and work out in work boots and jeans, camo shorts, flannel shirts and tank tops and then head home and get cleaned up.. Some of the guys were monsters.. It did not bother them because they were use to doing manual labor in those same clothes.. These gyms were filled with chalk dust and sweat, heavy music and free weights everywhere. Those were the best days.. Did not half to ask for a spot and could rotate in with anyone. No head phones required.. Miss it.
I'm twenty eight and I was a diesel mechanic and forklift mechanic for five years combined I'm saying this all to say there's some truth to carry heavy s*** around and you will get strong. I used to farmers carry forklift steer tires around factories & warehouses ect... I don't do any of that anymore but I still have ridiculous grips strength and I'm strong as hell For no reason I don't gym anymore either😢
The working man especially labourers and farmers have insaaane strength. Some of the strongest boys I've personally seen were railroad workers, and they don't' even look built.

@@chapel3339. I was a thin kid that graduated high school at about 145 lbs. I hand milked cows since very young and never had to fight with anyone in high school. I just grabbed their forearm and squeezed. When the bones started to bend together all thought of struggle left their mind. I just watched their face and let go as soon as it changed. No fuss, bother or embarrassment, and they never tried again.
You carry heavy weights that are off-balance because it forces your body to deal with awkward, difficult exertions. It causes your body to work much harder than if the weights are balanced. Just staying balanced is a major exertion. The man is a genius.
That’s my thought. You can train in shorts and a tshirt all day long, but when you have to wear steel toe boots and jeans and do something you’re much more uncomfortable. I think that why he lifts unconventional things as well. Prepare for real world situations
Cast him for the next Jason or Michael Myers. Or he could have his own movie. He already has a backstory. Former SF guy that workouts with unconventional methods. He uses his gym equipment to kill his enemies. Doesnt show his face. LOL Sounds good right?
“It’s weird marketing, working out in jeans and boots, never showing his face” *website is call No Frills work out It’s genius marketing. Every other “kid” I see at the gym is a mirror image of some trendy workout influencer whose trying to hawk merchandise. Same shoes, outfit, hairstyle, hats. Everything.

I'm no expert but the guy reminds me of what's called "Real world strength" The kind of crazy strength body builders struggles with, yet comes naturally to seasoned farmer or lumberjacks.. i've seen professional power lifters way smaller then this guy.
The attire is old school powerlifting. The guys wore a lot of overalls or coveralls back in the day, and some guys wore jeans, it's mainly because they'd come straight from work on the docks, warehouses, or as longshoremen.
This guy is a Monster and he's way different than these body builders he's the type of guy you would want on rescues where there's heavy material needed moved to save someone because the kind of workouts he does like if you have a tractor rolled over on you get this guy because all of his body points where there would be pressure if he's lifting heavy material are built up he could roll a car without even straining himself and his muscles look different than a body builders his look natural to where a body builders look fake
It's not hard to believe that he trains in what he would be wearing as a normal dude everyday..... honestly training like that is smarter because this whole training in comfort doesn't apply to your everyday functions.

Proper old school working out. Our ancestors probably had to hike 15 or so miles to kill something then butcher and carry all the meat back. Natural evolution means he’s huge in comparison but he can get the 9k calories intake easy, whereas the folks back in the day were probably super hungry on their hike for food. Appreciate how easy we have it.

Lately my girlfriend and myself have been doing survival training, war training as bestbwe can and various emergency situation training. Being too stable in everyday life can be the deciding factor in living or dying.
@@donquijote6030 It sounds extreme. But learning to love how we have, more off the grid, not totally off the grid but as much as possible really cuts down on the grind of “living in your means” Life is great the further you get away from our government. There is many better ways to live. And you don’t even have to hustle to live comfortably. I tell everyone to quit their jobs and go try different things and get more outside.
Aside from the hiding his face I think the idea behind the clothes he works out in is to show you won't always be in your gym gear when you actually need to be strong.
He wears those clothes so he doesn't get cut. Dude lifts metal and wood on his forearms. Have you ever tried lifting a heavy sandbag? It destroys your forearms. The heavy Zercher stuff Tom does with iron, definitely need something to protect from getting cut.
"Jailhouse Strong" is a prison term. It means you are locked in solitary and have to use your own body weight and resistence training to not only maintain your strength so you aren't killed when you get out of solitary, but to actually become stronger. Some guys intentionally get sent to solitary so they have time to get strong enough to survive prison before they get sent to GP (general populatioon). It's a different world.
He’s making a statement No fancy workout gear or brand name clothes No gym memberships Just old fashioned hard work. The Bruce Lee method Train every part of your mind and body
The gear he is wearing is what spec ops guys wear, they are also military boots. His carrying is to mimic real life situations, and to be prepared at any minute for anything. Thats probably why he also works out in jeans.
It’s probably FOR functionality, because he’s wearing every day clothes. Most people would crumble under pressure in real life having to do something because they don’t have a t shirt and shorts on.
The jeans and boots. Every farmer I knew growing up wore jeans and boot (mostly cowboy). The stuff they lifted, climbed and crawled around or under was why. Sometimes itd be 98degrees but they always wore boots and jeans. They didnt care, didnt stop them.
Go check out the latest table talk from elitefts to hear Josh Bryant talk about Tom. Josh Bryant from Jailhouse Strong is his coach. Get Josh Bryant on the show!
Many of the men on my mothers side of the family are this kinda strong. I dont have it like I did in my 30's, but up unitl then, I could do some amazing things with my shoulders and back.
I work out with jeans and boots on because I don't require special clothes and I'm not there for a fashion show, I don't care what anybody thinks about my attire. anything bigger than 5 10 is just a target in my opinion.
Id work out in jeans but i am yet to find a pair of jeans that fits in the waist and doesnt massively restrict my movement, nor do i want to wash the sweat out of 3 pairs of jeans every week.
It's true about carrying heavy stuff will make you strong. I was a strong 15 y/o and had a fire wood cutting job in the summer. My job was to haul the cut tree pieces (before being split) up the hill to the truck which was about 50-75 yards. The pieces would weigh approx 75 to 125 pounds ad I would haul them all day. I went from being a strong guy to being freaky strong, powerful and very quick. I was in a league all to myself at my high school for a couple of years.
The reason he wears the clothing and boots is because of his time in the SAS. I imagine his mental state when lifting is the same as when he was on deployment. The clothing replicates the same kind of feelings he had back in the day. Those boots are very similar to the actual Australian SAS boots.
Definition of modern day men cant understand why this men is doing this if it aint for money or fame or whatever you guys think, the point is there is someone that exists and can do these things and what makes him greater then anything is he does it for nothing just the pure test of oneself i dont no anyone especially in this day and age that would/could do this, this guy is one of a kind and glad he showed us as much as he did.
I work out in my work clothes ( I work Maintenance) because my theory behind it is that I'm busting my ass in those sweaty, hot, constricting clothes during work so maybe if I work out wearing the same clothes my next shift isn't so bad lol. Seems to work great! Never know when you need to put in some work wearing whatever you have on.
It's interesting to me that they don't understand why he dresses that way. I'm pretty sure it's a train the way you fight sort of thing. Same reason it's common to see soldiers and marines training in BDUs and combat boots instead of gym shorts and a pair of sneakers.
Jailhouse strong is run by well known power lifter Josh Bryant. Josh has trained Haviland and current bench press record holder Julius Maddox amongst other strength athletes.
Ive met him The storys and rumours about what he does is fucking hilarious!!! The first time i met him he worked at a IGA store stacking shelves Now he is a salesman for a protien store He isnot a hells angel or a fucking army guy lol
He's showing how he could do it on any day, in any situation. Anything that he comes upon that requires immense strength and unconventional mobility. Anyone can lift weights in a gym. He can use everything anywhere.
Keep in mind you don't need gear to get massive gains, I was 397lbs and ate 30,000 cal a day pretty much all day for 4 years, while lifting weights, but dont be like me, stick to a good diet plan and keep the gains coming, its not worth dying just to get to the top.
I did drywall and lifted heavy 6x a week. Now I have a cushy IT job but still work out 6 day a week. I’m gym strong but functionally I’m weak. I would love to get some land and just get after it carrying some heavy shit
I saw an article where someone interview Tom Haviland. The reason he uses odd things is he grew up fairly poor on a farm and used whatever he could to train. He ar about encouraging people that anyone can find a way. He wears everyday cloths to hide his physique so not to distract people from what he is doing and send a message to them that anyone can train. He doesn't show his face for the same reason, to say, this isn't about me. He isn't hiding his face so people in Australia won't know who he is on the street.
5:19 Whats he doing?......He too busy working OUT bro...you seeing this guy he came out with 35LBS kettle bells in each hand as a baby...his mother was an actual bench-press.
I know a dude, huge dude who always works out in jeans and shit, boots buts that’s cuz he works, he does odd jobs, he builds fences, fixes cars, mows lawns, whatever makes him money, and then he works out, he’s the habit and type but not nearly as strong or agile, still very very strong compared to the average man, but not haviland strong. I think dude just likes too lift and show people how strong he is, he’s not trying too brand anything, he’s just doing him.
I'm sure he gets some monetary compensation from his coach, and Jailhousestrong creator, Josh Bryant, even if it's only free coaching in exchange for the promotional material (video).
I'm 5"10, 150. Today I start training with goal of reaching 6"8 and 350. To put on 200lbs of muscle and 10 inches height, I will need at least 3 months. Maybe 4.

Guys. This dude isn’t complicated, he just likes to lift heavy sh*t and sometimes record it. I do believe it’s that simple.

There is many better ways to live. And you don’t even have to hustle to live comfortably. I tell everyone to quit their jobs and go try different things and get more outside.
Farmer. Bet he's used to hucking bales of hay weighting 100 pounds 10-20 feet on a stack with a pitchfork. Full body workout.
It's special forces training, in the army, you train with you equipment on or cloths, swim, run, climb etc...
He's not trying to show you his strength. He's showing people how you can work out with things other than weights.
Because training in your normal gear is training in and of itself. It's training for real life and not a gym.
Aside from the hiding his face I think the idea behind the clothes he works out in is to show you won't always be in your gym gear when you actually need to be strong.
Work boot are very comfortable once they are broken in. You can wear them all day.
He wears those clothes so he doesn't get cut. Dude lifts metal and wood on his forearms. Have you ever tried lifting a heavy sandbag? It destroys your forearms. The heavy Zercher stuff Tom does with iron, definitely need something to protect from getting cut.
"Jailhouse Strong" is a prison term. It means you are locked in solitary and have to use your own body weight and resistence training to not only maintain your strength so you aren't killed when you get out of solitary, but to actually become stronger. Some guys intentionally get sent to solitary so they have time to get strong enough to survive prison before they get sent to GP (general populatioon).
It's a different world.
The TH-cam channel called JailHouse Strong is NOT Tom's channel it's his trainer's.
Obviously not what Tom does with all his weights and equipment.
He’s making a statement
No fancy workout gear or brand name clothes
No gym memberships
Just old fashioned hard work. The Bruce Lee method
Train every part of your mind and body
The Barbarian Brothers used to wear boots and baggy clothes as well.
Bro is a human main battle tank!
The gear he is wearing is what spec ops guys wear, they are also military boots. His carrying is to mimic real life situations, and to be prepared at any minute for anything. Thats probably why he also works out in jeans.
How does Derek not know who jailhouse strong is ?? He coaches Deathgrip Derek and Julis Maddox
Tom is strong AF
I think he just likes being efficient. You save a lot of time, take less trips moving stuff, don't have to get help from friends or machines.
It’s probably FOR functionality, because he’s wearing every day clothes. Most people would crumble under pressure in real life having to do something because they don’t have a t shirt and shorts on.
I hope my wife looks at me the way joe looks at strong men
I hope my wife looks at me the way my wife looks at strong men
Bro doesn’t care about the fame just wants to inspire.
The jeans and boots. Every farmer I knew growing up wore jeans and boot (mostly cowboy). The stuff they lifted, climbed and crawled around or under was why. Sometimes itd be 98degrees but they always wore boots and jeans.
They didnt care, didnt stop them.
Go check out the latest table talk from elitefts to hear Josh Bryant talk about Tom. Josh Bryant from Jailhouse Strong is his coach. Get Josh Bryant on the show!
Inb4 Josh talks isometrics and bbq for 5 hours
Many of the men on my mothers side of the family are this kinda strong. I dont have it like I did in my 30's, but up unitl then, I could do some amazing things with my shoulders and back.
since when are shoulder shrugs awkward?
Giving off Micheal Myers vibes here
Dude is so low key he’s drawing attention to himself
Introvert, nothing wrong with that
Yeh I lifted a lot of heavy shit working construction I'm 52 now and my body is shot
Why are your videos only 360p Joe?
I work out with jeans and boots on because I don't require special clothes and I'm not there for a fashion show, I don't care what anybody thinks about my attire. anything bigger than 5 10 is just a target in my opinion.
Id work out in jeans but i am yet to find a pair of jeans that fits in the waist and doesnt massively restrict my movement, nor do i want to wash the sweat out of 3 pairs of jeans every week.
It's true about carrying heavy stuff will make you strong. I was a strong 15 y/o and had a fire wood cutting job in the summer. My job was to haul the cut tree pieces (before being split) up the hill to the truck which was about 50-75 yards. The pieces would weigh approx 75 to 125 pounds ad I would haul them all day. I went from being a strong guy to being freaky strong, powerful and very quick. I was in a league all to myself at my high school for a couple of years.
David and Peter Paul, who went by the name The Barbarians were bodybuilders in the early to mid 80s who worked out in jeans and boots 40 years ago.
The reason he wears the clothing and boots is because of his time in the SAS. I imagine his mental state when lifting is the same as when he was on deployment. The clothing replicates the same kind of feelings he had back in the day. Those boots are very similar to the actual Australian SAS boots.
Final drive sprockets from a piece of heavy equipment was the gear thing Joe talked about.
Definition of modern day men cant understand why this men is doing this if it aint for money or fame or whatever you guys think, the point is there is someone that exists and can do these things and what makes him greater then anything is he does it for nothing just the pure test of oneself i dont no anyone especially in this day and age that would/could do this, this guy is one of a kind and glad he showed us as much as he did.
I love Tom’s training style.
Man I’m 6’1 and 220 and I’m about 20 lbs overweight. The best I’ve looked was 203-5 and being cut up. How df is this guy real????
Like Arnold from the opening of Commando, just doing strongman stuff.
so he went from 6'5" 300 lbs to 6'8'' 350 oh ok, oh and i heard 6'9" now
Was he really liated at only 6'5?
To not be scandalous. Humility.
I work out in my work clothes ( I work Maintenance) because my theory behind it is that I'm busting my ass in those sweaty, hot, constricting clothes during work so maybe if I work out wearing the same clothes my next shift isn't so bad lol. Seems to work great! Never know when you need to put in some work wearing whatever you have on.
If he was special forces it would be hard to keep that kind of weight on
yep, especially the aussies, they like to ruck long distances and would tend to make you lean
former he long out
@@stellarmella9557he rucks long distances currently. He’s very ripped with low body fat
I'm not sure he was special forces. Think about it, he'd stick out too much among local populaces.
It's interesting to me that they don't understand why he dresses that way. I'm pretty sure it's a train the way you fight sort of thing. Same reason it's common to see soldiers and marines training in BDUs and combat boots instead of gym shorts and a pair of sneakers.
Train like you fight is exactly why he trains like that. Any military person would see that.
if it was brought out to them they probably would agree.
Some would say this equipment was pioneered by Paul Anderson.
one person you never want to mess with is a iron worker.. they might not bench 400lbs but physical strength will put body builders to shame
Jailhouse strong is run by well known power lifter Josh Bryant. Josh has trained Haviland and current bench press record holder Julius Maddox amongst other strength athletes.
I respect the guy. He’s not in your face about what he does. He keeps it simple.
This dudes training for real life situations, special forces he trains in full gear.
Here I am a 5’6 manlet, I can move some decent weight but man being 5’6 sucks.
Why does being 5'6" suck? I'm 6'3" broad shouldered monster. I bet you don't bump your head on stuff as much.
@ihcman9130 I am 6 feet, so we're basically the same height.
I do jiu-jitsu and the scariest person I've ever rolled with is a 5'6 dude with vide grip hands. Embrace it
@@dayofdecay433 I have baby hands so can’t grapple either
@@ihcman9130 would rather bump my head on stuff than be an easy victim
Ive met him
The storys and rumours about what he does is fucking hilarious!!!
The first time i met him he worked at a IGA store stacking shelves
Now he is a salesman for a protien store
He isnot a hells angel or a fucking army guy lol
He's 580 years old. That's why he hides his face so no one IDs him
Bro is fucking huge and his heart is gonna blow out
He's trained, you have no idea what this man is capable of.
Lmao it definitely wouldn't be the first time a fitness influencer lied about their past
@@jr28778 you have no idea mannnnn
He wants his anonymity, BUT HE'S AN EXAMPLE OF WHAT A WARRIORN SHOULD BE!
Jailhouse strong is josh bryant. Toms trainer
Based josh
A Real man Joe Rogan
David and Peter Paul, the barbarian brothers would sometimes workout in jeans and boots, and that was way back in the 80s
Check out Brian Shaw’s yoke at the Arnold in like 2016. Weight was insane.
I love how we call people freaks but it truly is a compliment.
He's showing how he could do it on any day, in any situation. Anything that he comes upon that requires immense strength and unconventional mobility. Anyone can lift weights in a gym. He can use everything anywhere.
Havlin is the guy they call when the guy they called couldn’t get the job done
I worked offshore with guys that would carry equipment the length of a barge all day
Strongest people around
Keep in mind you don't need gear to get massive gains, I was 397lbs and ate 30,000 cal a day pretty much all day for 4 years, while lifting weights, but dont be like me, stick to a good diet plan and keep the gains coming, its not worth dying just to get to the top.
Those are final drive gears from bulldozers and excavator
I did drywall and lifted heavy 6x a week. Now I have a cushy IT job but still work out 6 day a week. I’m gym strong but functionally I’m weak. I would love to get some land and just get after it carrying some heavy shit
I’m surprised Joe doesn’t have him on, I’m sure they would have an interesting conversation
I saw an article where someone interview Tom Haviland. The reason he uses odd things is he grew up fairly poor on a farm and used whatever he could to train. He ar about encouraging people that anyone can find a way. He wears everyday cloths to hide his physique so not to distract people from what he is doing and send a message to them that anyone can train. He doesn't show his face for the same reason, to say, this isn't about me. He isn't hiding his face so people in Australia won't know who he is on the street.
Mitchell Hooper did a great review on this guy.. fascinating man.
5:19 Whats he doing?......He too busy working OUT bro...you seeing this guy he came out with 35LBS kettle bells in each hand as a baby...his mother was an actual bench-press.
Yeah Joe some people don't get sucked into buying a complete Rogue gym set up... to be cool.
I like wearing steel cap boots and work pants , 1 don’t change after work , 2 it makes it harder harder is better
I know a dude, huge dude who always works out in jeans and shit, boots buts that’s cuz he works, he does odd jobs, he builds fences, fixes cars, mows lawns, whatever makes him money, and then he works out, he’s the habit and type but not nearly as strong or agile, still very very strong compared to the average man, but not haviland strong.
I think dude just likes too lift and show people how strong he is, he’s not trying too brand anything, he’s just doing him.
I'm sure he gets some monetary compensation from his coach, and Jailhousestrong creator, Josh Bryant, even if it's only free coaching in exchange for the promotional material (video).
Well yeah, blue collar guys like him (and me and my bros) generally don't want everyone to know their face
