Literally finished a pizza earlier, put my son to bed, cleaned up and sat down on the couch to enjoy some ice cream and TH-cam. Oh look Alan Thrall has a video..... damn.
13 Years from now: Alan Jr. Sneaks in the door late at night. The kitchen light clicks on. Alan is sitting in his PJs at the table. "Welcome home, son. You sure were out late. What's that in your pocket. Show me!" Alan Jr: "It's nothing, dad! It's just- it's... Shaving gel and... a- a razor. The other guys from a school told me about it. I wasn't really gonna use it, honest!" A single tear runs down Alan's face.
Alan, I am a big fan. You are genuine and make great sense. I am 67 years old and have been "heavy lifting" for six years. I put that in quotes, because , my PR deadlift is 275. As I never had a power lifter body, I am pretty happy with that. Regarding weight, I believe that heavy lifting and muscle mass are a great tool to having a stable weight at my age. My weight has not really varied since starting heavy lifting 6 years ago. Regarding your "ands", I have a mental trick for that. I floss and brush right after dinner. I am too lazy to eat a snack then floss and brush again. It works!! Thanks for your videos.
First fitness youtuber i've heard saying anything about environmental awareness, re-using, recycling etc. Nice 1 mate. Kudos to you. Thumbs up from me.
Thanks Alan! 48 years old, with a 9 year old. I hate dad bod. Was 300 pounds 7 months ago, so got my military self together, changed my diet, and got to the gym everyday. I'm getting strong. Able to jog 6 miles, and bench over 200 with reps. I suck at squats but doing it anyhow. Starting deadlifts soon. Down to 230 now. I'm 6'6 so that's about as low as I want to be. I need a good strength program. And I like what you've been laying down the last few vids. It's speaking to me as life happens and for the past 7 days I've been unable to get to the gym. So here's to you and all the dads out there that are disciplining themselves to come up better and stronger. =)
This world needs more people like you man.....more people who think and act like you. There is nothing complicated in what you are teaching.....it just has to be done.
Congrats on becoming a father. I love this new series “fighting the dad bod” Very entertaining and inspirational. Its great getting to see your programming in the gym as well
Used to watch you videos "back in the early days"... when we all pushed iron, played hard and worked out hard. THEN kids... this is a great vid and soooo real. You've always been credible but this one hits home large. Checking out the program next... well done.
Dude major props for addressing the single-use plastic problem. Your vids are great, I'm learning all about proper form. All kinds of new stuff. Why it's strength training for my brain!
@@Jermuzz Depends what you're drinking. Generic spring water is pretty low, but if you start chugging those Evian bottles, don't be surprised if you gain 10 pounds in a week.
@@Football4dayzz Obviously you will gain weight if you drink alot of water whilst training regularly. Water is stored in your muscles. These water brands's products don't have any of the three sources of energy a.k.a calories I mentioned.
Had to hit the thumbs-up as soon as you went on your plastic bag rant - THANK YOU! So easy to reduce the amount of trash we create. Once you start thinking about it, the smallest changes (buy a stainless steel mug, canvas shopping bag, your own takeout containers, straws) exponentially help out our environment. Great video.
This channel is a nice relief not so much stress on spending. The hardest part is figuring out how to eat right. The exercise I always stock to kettlebells and a sandbag, it’s cheap and to the point!
Alan these are the types of videos from you that I like to see. The videos in which you address topics that aren’t too specific nor too general. You’re hitting it on the money with what your audience wants to see. I am a big fan of how you are blending your personal life with blogs along with your typical, more simple informational videos. You are taking two topics which are very close to you to create a synthesis; and this is very appealing to me, along with many other of your subs.
Mad respect for the fact that not only did you shoot that intro in the dark and rain, but presumably you had to get out first to set up the camera, then get back in the truck, drive around, then get out again for the take. All for 20 seconds of footage.
Alan! Hey man, I'm a dad of 2 small kids myself and I'm Loving your dad vids. Really hitting the nail on the head with that dad life! Very relatable. Thanks man!
Been Watching your videos all week. I'm 60 yrs old and 2 months in a Gym membership at the Iron Jungle in Paso Robles Ca. Trap bar dead lift videos got me here and been doing them twice a week. Thanks for your help. You seem to speak the same language.
I don't know what took me so long to find your content, but I love it. So simple, no bullshit. I'm working on dropping a little bit of weight right now and this video is super practical. Thank you.
Yeah hahaha try 3 teens and real work that doesn’t involve going to the gym. Lil harder than one newborn. But still.... respect. Time will bring on the real time challenges. Still I do it pretty well and so do others. So it can be done.
Thank you for posting this, along with the “Let’s Do This” series...I am going to be a new father to a son this May and am looking for ways to better myself with diet and get more out of my workouts and this is exactly what I was looking for!

Hey Alan nice speech on the plastic bags!! As a Frenchman I visited the USA for 3 months (great country i loved it), but i was horrified by the overuse of plastic bags... What a waste
He knows paying extra for the eggs is a must I’ve got backyard chickens because I can’t stand store bought eggs. Although I have tried the more expensive eggs, even eggs from Amish farms they still don’t compare to my eggs but it makes sense to buy the more expensive eggs if those are you only options.
Absolutely love this video!! I am glad you pointed out the plastic bag problem. People look at me like I am crazy because I bring a reusable crate when I purchase groceries and don't bag any of them. We all need to do our part in combating waste.
I've found fasting to be the easiest and best way to stay lean. I usually either do 20/4 with two meals or OMAD with 23/1. Plus it's VERY muscle sparing. Just to test it I did a 48hr prolonged fast. Lifted with FULL strength 45hrs in.
Ryan Deffley this is so true. I do better with eating once or twice a day than dividing my meals throughout the day, makes me feel weak as shit at the gym too.
Congrats on the son, bro. You're videos are very inspiring and I have a lot of respect from you advice because I feel that it comes from a good place. Cheers!
Subbed to your channel bro. I'm newer to my fitness journey now almost 9 months in. I went from 260 to 225 currently. Your video about food habits was spot on
Had the same epiphome when my now 13year old daughter was born. Same thing, holding her as a new born standing in front of a full length mirror wondering what the hell had happened to me, lol. Changed everything and got in better shape, had some ups and downs over the years (life gets in the way sometimes) but have been back to where I want to be for close to two years now and no going back. Your channel has certainly helped me Alan. Thanks.
I'm about to be a Dad for the 2nd time. Since the first I've lost over 70pounds over 2 years. Setting my family up with good health and habits is great motivation. And your video is an inspiration. Thanks Alan and Family.

That's what it took. A look in the mirror before a morning shower while getting ready for work. "You really look like shit." Next week I was getting a gym membership and learning the core lifts.
I went well past a Dad Bod, then became a father of 3 over the course of 5 years. Found myself looking down at a floor scale that read 297 lbs at 38% BF. That was 14 months ago, happy to report now that after an initial drop to 187lbs, I have been lifting regularly and returned to a good 195lbs at about 15%BF, hoping to settle into a good place around 205 lbs maintaining about 15% BF. Don't need a chizzled look, but do want to be a healthy active size for my boys. Thanks for the videos Allan been watching regularly for lifting tips, and just good overall entertainment.
I love the way you say "train untamed" with a slight uk accent reflecting the britpop/metal era and I don't really know at all what I am talking about.
Alan, thanks for the excellent call on the plastic bags. I don't have a plastic bag for 6 years now because I was ignorant about the harm they cause. Also stopped abusing animals, so chicken, steak, eggs, etc are out of my diet. Yes, I am not strong like you, bit it is not diets fault (see Patrick Babumiam;surely you know). Hope you keep mindful of the environment and hope the next step goes also towards your food options. Thanks a million and keep posting videos of pure excellence!
@@EmoPeter2000 Thats an unfounded thing to say. He buys tons of beef&dairy ...as the UN report and NASA data goes that plays a bigger role than even transportation...it looks nice to reuse plastic bags but it doesnt do shit.
I am impressed, you're very aware of good shopping practices! Most expensive eggs and meat, no plastic bags, good shit! P.S.: That transition starting around 3:25 was great editing!
There is no fucking way you got a dad bod in 7 days. Even if you ate 6000-10000 calories a day (and that's pretty fucking hard even if it's all ice cream), your body can only store so much fat at a time. You probably gained 2-4 lbs. of fat and 15 pounds of water weight. Trust me. I've had bad weeks where I went from 176 to 200 lbs. It's just not physically possible to store that much fat unless you are a freak of nature. Just get back to eating well, don't starve yourself, and stick with it. Dieting is pretty simple once you realize it's 100% mental. There is no program on earth that can trump willpower and proper nutrition.

You lift 275 more then the majority of humans. You are in the top 5% for sure. And most likely top 1% in your category.

@@1paulromero well he should he should decrease the amount of steaks he eats if actually cares about the environment
@@Cin9999 That's a short-sighted thing to say.
@@EmoPeter2000 Thats an unfounded thing to say.
He buys tons of beef&dairy ...as the UN report and NASA data goes that plays a bigger role than even transportation...it looks nice to reuse plastic bags but it doesnt do shit.
I am impressed, you're very aware of good shopping practices! Most expensive eggs and meat, no plastic bags, good shit!
P.S.: That transition starting around 3:25 was great editing!
I left untammed and 7 days later Dad Bod has set in....Don't be me, join untammed and avoid the Dad Bod
There is no fucking way you got a dad bod in 7 days. Even if you ate 6000-10000 calories a day (and that's pretty fucking hard even if it's all ice cream), your body can only store so much fat at a time. You probably gained 2-4 lbs. of fat and 15 pounds of water weight. Trust me. I've had bad weeks where I went from 176 to 200 lbs. It's just not physically possible to store that much fat unless you are a freak of nature.
Just get back to eating well, don't starve yourself, and stick with it. Dieting is pretty simple once you realize it's 100% mental. There is no program on earth that can trump willpower and proper nutrition.
Jason pretty sure it was a joke but you got some facts my guy

No reason at all for this video to have as many dislikes as it does. This is ~2 months old but great video Alan.
