I’m glad you proved you could make a presentable omelette by showing the one you made for your wife. Would’ve hated to see you become the “can’t make an omelette” guy.
You have really good taste in food, always so many ingredients and they always look tasty, really giving lifters a good name and squashing the "chicken and rice" stereotype, awesome content.
Look at you being wildly athletic. I watched you when I started powerlifting, but I moved to weightlifting and I'm enjoying seeing more of these types of movements from you as well :D I hope you are having fun :)
I can definitely confirm the spider chalk mega blocks are the real deal. I originally got a pack of 2 blocks about 5 years ago and I still have the pieces in my gym bag. Definitely the best chalk Ive ever used. The invisible chalk is super cool as well thanks for sharing that Alan!
Last strongmen you said you felt better on carries and you said it was due to the bicep training you were doing from NH’s hypertrophy program. Are you planning on incorporating some bicep training to help prep for those carries?
Man I was out of the gym with a flu for about a month, when I came back I felt like I couldn't really trust RPE and everything felt heavy, especially barbell squats which I've always had a love/hate relationship with. The third week I started Greyskull LP just to get back into it and took the squat set I was taking to 5 at an "RPE 7" for 11 reps lmao
@@Sun-ic7rq Where's the evidence of that? Obviously you lose strength with time out of the gym but is rpe after an illness something that's ever even been studied?
Just wondering why anyone would ever remove the most important part of the egg from the omelette 🤷🏽♂️ I can’t get over that people still do this. Especially people I respect and love their content, like Allan!! 😂
You can buy egg whites in a carton box, but I have never seen whole egg mix in a box. Its for convenience so that you dont have to crack eggs all the time.
I don't know Alan's situation, but for some with EDIT: cholesterol, (not high blood pressure) and theirs can be lowered by diet (a minority), cutting down on saturated fat can help lower it. Also if they want to eat more with less calories and somehow like the taste and texture of just egg whites. Lee Haney said all the good stuff (nutrition) is in the yellas.

I always thought jumping like that is bad for the knees is it not? If it is actually good, then should I also start doing it now being 40 lbs overweight or wait till I reach the healthy weight?
I've never felt like RPE is a useful metric. When I train to failure I often feel like I reach failure between RPE 6 and 8 for moderately heavy weights. Beyond the early beginner stages it feels like pushing hard just becomes automatic so there's not real difference in exertion. The exclusion to this is when lifting light weights where extra exertion is required to fight through the burn. The occasional other exclusion is when I hit a grind on deadlift, because that hurts.
Since I don't compete, I use it for more of a am I going for a heavy single or doing light volume day? If everything's heavy, we stay with the volume, if the weights are light and moving well, I'll go for a heavy single. Granted I only do this once every 2-3 months and usually on a deload week.
Wünsche dir gute Besserung 👍👍 Neben den medizinischen Maßnahmen solltest du dir mal ein ordentliches Bett gönnen. Wenn die Kids bei Mama schlafen wollen/müssen, dann stelle zur Not ein Bett ins Kinderzimmer. Das ist doch kein Zustand
Running your free 'Beginner Strongman' program from the Barbell Medicine site to start my strongman journey. Thanks for that!

I can't do just eggwhite ommlette. I always mix in 1 whole egg. Love the jump training. Plyos are UNDERRATED
Omg where was the TRAIN UNTAAAAAMMMMMED?? 😰
These vlogs are great man! Entertaining, informational and inspirational!
You got me interested in jumping, again. Always some good nuggets from your content.

great content alan! enjoying the vlog. LOVE hand written pad and paper at the gym!
Can we get the oatmeal loaf recipe? That made me hungry.
Seconding this, want to try it
25:06 I didnt know you where serving cake today good sir!
Omg we had those glasses growing up as a kid in the 80’s The one you were squeezing the lemon when you were having the oat bread.
Boiled eggs are like eating eyeballs.
This is a great series. I look forward to the rest of it.

"3.5 inches can make a difference"-Alan Thrall 2025
Been retired from the Corps a long while. I had not heard the phrase "canc'd the ..." in all that time. We used to say it all time. Big smile.
Soundtrack always amazing
I enjoyed the cooking on real fire in previous video.

Would you use kettlebell swings to train for the sandbag tosses? I wonder if something like a power snatch might actually be better?
This might be my favorite thumbnail
Hearing Manowar and Mad Caddies in one session threw me for a loop
Can you please deactivate the automatic synchronisation of your titel? Sometimes it is just wrong and confusing.
You gotta do that yourself by clicking on the CC button if its what i think youre talking about
@gymrat1524 sadly no. The titel of the video is in german.

@h.b.7780 wo soll des sein? Laut längerer google suche kann ich nur als kreator das aktivieren aber die titel (nicht untertitel) eben nicht.
Yeah, it's uncomfortable. I changed my language in yt to English just to avoid that, since most of the content I watch is in English anyway

Alan! I forgot to train untamed!!! 😅
How many runs a week will you do for this prep, Allan?
I also run too in the middle of a Strongman prep so I am curious
Looking huge Alan
Type-O!
And Mastodon! Good stuff

Sounds like RPE is working perfectly... whats the issue?
RPE after an illness will be different after when you're healthy... you understand this right?

@ He said egg white omelette like 10 times 😂 I hope he doesn’t still think egg yolks are bad for your cholesterol… that is seriously unbelievable
First time I've ever seen someone working out to Type O Negative.
Any chance you’d make a metal hook grip hoodie run?
I am the kind of klutz who would get crushed by my own keg throw lol
200-231 is middle weight, then I'm flea weight lol. Is there a light weight category?
Bigger comps will have a 200 lb class, and some will have 175.
Normally it's under 80 90 105 and opens or under 120 to some comps

If youre still learning how to "fight through the burn"... RPE isn't for you.
@@caleb2159 You do ultra heavy singles on your deload week?
@ Heavy single usually means 80-85 percent so no, not ultra heavy max out single.
Did I miss something - is there no deadlift in this comp?
