Sign up to my newsletter at www.strongerdads.co.nz This week I am joined by Alan Thrall. He is a husband and father of two. Alan is the owner of Untamed Strength - a gym based in Sacramento, California - an online coach for Barbell Medicine, and a strength athlete who has done it all, from Powerlifting to Strongman. In this episode, we chat about his childhood and his early experiences being coached in the barbell lifts for American Football, his time in the Marine Corps, what got him into owning a gym and starting a YouTube channel, and we spend some time chatting about how his training has evolved since having children. It was great to chat through his approach to training as a parent, and some of the ways he tries to be a great Dad. I learned plenty from his approach! Enjoy the episode. _____________________ You can find more from Hayden at the following: Instagram - @hjp_strongerdads Research - https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Hayden-Pritchard Website - www.hjpmethod.co.nz _____________________ How can you support my work?

In this week's Strength Chat I was joined by Marine Corps veteran and gym owner, having competed in Strongman, Powerlifting, and Weightlifting, Alan Thrall. One of the biggest challenges for a lot of people when it comes to training is time. That's no different for Alan as he has to balance running a gym and family life.

Opening a community gym in the middle of a pandemic: crazy, or if done safely, sorely needed? That’s exactly what Mike Farr (Silent Mike) and Jim McDonald did. These Nor Cal natives return from their previous episode alongside Alan Thrall and Eric Helms where we discussed what the heck is in the water in Sacramento that produces so many iconic lifting groups. They join us today to talk about their experience of pulling the trigger on their dream of opening a gym in Sacramento, despite the challenges of COVID. Philosophically, they have the outlook that you can only put your dreams on hold for so long, and that there will always be a reason not to do something. Ethically, these two didn’t cut any corners in pursuit of their dreams. They realise that for folks like us, lifting has to find a way, because it’s something we need. Learn how they provide their members the space as an outlet, while protecting their health, and not going bankrupt in this episode.

Strongman is having a moment. More people are watching strongman related content. More people are involved in strongman training now, even if they don’t plan to compete. The bottom line is probably that it’s just fun, but is there more to it? We asked our friend Alan Thrall (owner of Sacramento’s Untamed Strength) to come talk about it and bring national strongman champ Joey Szatmary (owner of The Lion’s Den outside Philadelphia). What do CrossFit and Strongman have anything in common? Who gets to compete at the Arnold? Or strongman nationals? Strongman competitions don’t have a standard set of events. Is that a good thing? Does being unhealthy just come with the territory? You can find Alan at @untamedstrength on IG and on YouTube athrall7. Joey is at @szatstrength .

Alan Thrall is the owner of Untamed Strength in Sacramento, California. He is a former Marine, a coach and educator on all things strength, a husband and a father. What I love most about Alan is his hunger to learn and to share what he has learned with other people. (You can hear more about this in the podcast). Alan's passion for learning and teaching others led him to start a YouTube channel which now has almost half a million followers. (You can learn how he grew his channel in the podcast). We talked about negative self talk in the gym, why he now has a coach, his greatest struggle in starting a gym, the roots of his disciplined nature, and how you can grow stronger.
We’ve all been in 5th grade...many of us wish it never ended. In this episode we take you back to that magical time by transposing our most important questions from that era like: “who would in a fight, Superman or Godzilla?” or “Could a silverback defeat a grizzly bear?” and the important follow up “what if they had swords?”, onto strength sports. Today we ask, who are the strongest: Powerlifters, Weightlifters, or Strongmen/women? We discuss what ways we could legitimately test strength across disciplines to answer this question and each guests “picks a character” as a champion of their sport in this thought experiment. To tackle these important questions the guests are thankful to be joined by returning guests and strength aficionados, Alan Thrall, Jonnie Candito and Max Aita. Strap up your Velcro’s, hop on the school bus, grab your bag lunch from mom and get ready to argue during recess in this episode of iron culture!

There are so many great reasons to do resistance training - even for endurance athletes and self-described non-athletes who simply want to increase healthspan. We know that strength training improves quality of life, bone health, insulin sensitivity, body composition, and neurological health. However, in this uncertain era of COVID-19, commercial gyms are almost universally closed and many people are challenged to find new ways to maintain their training regimen. On this podcast, NBT Head of Strength and Conditioning, Zach Moore, CSCS is with me to discuss the best strategies for adapting your strength training routine - or starting one - when you don’t have a gym. He describes creative ways to use bodyweight and household items to challenge yourself and load muscles and shares his favourite online resources to refer to for proper form. If you're just considering adding strength training to your routine, Zach also offers a simple way to get started.

In this episode Alan unfolded part of his life in the marines and how it effected him when he left. Alan is the owner of Untamed Strength in Sacramento, California. I had the chance to meet Alan in person and workout in his gym. Alan is one of those people where you just know what he says he means and is an example of a leader. Not only is Alan a successful gym owner, strongman and father, but he is very intelligent inside and outside the gym. ========================================================================================================================================== @reps_for_responders @therealjumpmanjay @untamedstrength ========================================================================================================================================== “Alan Thrall is the owner of Untamed Strength.

Like many of us, Alan has been able to train less frequently lately, this started when he and his wife had a baby. Congrats Alan! This led to Alan getting lean and facing the fact that his numbers on the barbell can no longer be as high.

Gyms are closed, and everyone is scrambling to build out their home gyms so they don’t lose all their gains. Even in the best of times, it can be hard to decide what equipment you really need and where to buy it. We got Alan Thrall’s perspective on this topic in an earlier episode. Now we’ve tapped our friend and veteran YouTuber, Brandon Campbell Diamond. Brandon is known as a connoisseur of home gym equipment and has been producing honest, straight-forward reviews of lifting related equipment for a while. Some of the issues we covered: What’s the very first thing you should consider when planning a home gym? What qualities should you look for in well-built equipment? Are some bar coatings better than others? Which piece of equipment do you NOT need? When the gyms open again, is everyone just going to sell off their home gyms? You can find Brandon on Instagram: @basementbrandon and at his YouTube channel were he has great equipment reviews and training videos. Hosted by Mike Farr (@silentmikke) and Jim McDonald (@thejimmcd). Produced by Jim McDonald Production assistance by Connor O’Neal. Theme by Aaron Moore. Branding by Joseph Manzo.
Alan Thrall is an accomplished strength coach and the owner of Untamed Strength. Alan has coached thousands of athletes over the course of his career, and his YouTube channels has amassed more than 85 million views, helping countless athletes get stronger in and out of the gym.In today’s episode, guest host Jake Boly talks to Alan about his growth in strength coaching, how he accidentally built a massive YouTube channel, and much much more.
Accused of being "Aesthetic Boys" that just care about muscular men, the hosts decide to pivot and talk about the next best thing; Strongmen/women. The hosts are joined by Strongman competitors Joey Szatmary & Alan Thrall. Joey is the recent USS National Strongman champion and Alan has been competing in Strongman for almost a decade. The two provide informative content on YouTube, helping to spread the knowledge and awareness of Strongman/woman. The hosts explore the interesting origin of Strongman/woman, its recent rise in popularity, and how to get involved.
You may know Alan from his YouTube videos, or just his wicked beard! I found out about Alan and Untamed Strength when trying to learn more about how to properly perform the squat, bench, and deadlift in my efforts to get stronger. I had a lot of fun talking with Alan, we discussed his time in the Marines, his gym in Sacramento, as well as how he grew a large following on YouTube. The part I appreciated the most was that inadvertently Alan shared some great life lessons about discipline and perseverance, he's truly someone who is a doer and learns first and foremost from experience!

What's up Pride! In the EP I have two of the most influential people in the strength/fitness space join me on this podcast. Sir Alan Thrall & Omar Isuf! I has an absolute blast hosting them at my house for a few days while we lifted at The Lions Den and also ran a lifting clinic. Alan owns Untamed Strength in Sacramento CA which is a strongman and powerlifting gym. Omar is a fitness buff who enjoys spreading knowledge and collaborating with all the top athletes and coaching in the industry. Omar is base out of Toronto Canada. These guys are the real deal, talking about awesome practical tips to help you along your lifting/fitness journey. I'm pre-apologizing for my voice as it was really rough getting over being sick for a few weeks. However, these guys smashed it out of the park answering my questions. Enjoy!

Consider this episode a homecoming as co-host Eric Helms reminisces on Sacramento lifting culture. He is joined by fellow Sacramento natives Alan Thrall, Silent Mike, and Jim McDonald. A seemingly small city tucked away in Northern California, the soon to be infamous SacTown Boys explore the reasons why Sacramento has made such a strong impact inside the lifting community. From weightlifting legend Tommy Kono to Body Tribe in the present, Sacramento is home to a vibrant, diverse lifting community. The conversation also explores starting your own business, traversing the fitness industry and why Iron Culture is the world's friendliest Cult.
You may know Alan from his YouTube videos, or just his wicked beard! I found out about Alan and Untamed Strength when trying to learn more about how to properly perform the squat, bench, and deadlift in my efforts to get stronger. I had a lot of fun talking with Alan, we discussed his time in the Marines, his gym in Sacramento, as well as how he grew a large following on YouTube. The part I appreciated the most was that inadvertently Alan shared some great life lessons about discipline and perseverance, he's truly someone who is a doer and learns first and foremost from experience! --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/jakeparker/support

It’s a great fit for the topic of this episode. Start your free month trial today using our special URL: Thegreatcoursesplus.com/FACTS Episode Notes: Many of you have probably dreamed about being your own boss. Maybe even opening your own gym. We pose that question to a guy who’s done it…and succeeded. Mike shares his first experiences with starting businesses, and how opening a gym didn’t go as planned. Here are some additional factors we talked about: How much does location matter? Where are your members/clients going to come from, and how will you reach them? How broadly (or narrowly) should you be defining your target membership? What kinds of costs do you need to think about related to opening the business and the facility? What are you willing to risk in order to start a brick and mortar business like a gym? Can you afford to keep it going through the parts where you’re not making much – or maybe even any -- money? Alan Thrall joins us with his experienced take on this topic. Alan is the owner of Untamed Strength, a strongman/powerlifting gym in Sacramento, CA. He talks about starting without a real plan, and why you should probably have one. He also shares how his gym has grown and changed over the years, and the important things he’s learned. Our ideas start around from the beginning of the episode. Alan joins us around 14:08. You can find Alan on Instagram at @untamedstrength, on YouTube and at his website: trainuntamed.com Hosted by Mike Farr (@silentmikke) and Jim McDonald (@thejimmcd).

What’s absolutely essential to making a home gym work for you, and about how much money would you need to spend? Here’s what we came up with: Spend as little as possible…or as much as possible? What’s the minimum equipment you need? Are dumbbells and specialty bars necessary? Is flooring a critical element or a luxury How much is a decent power rack? How do you keep from busting up the floor? Alan Thrall joins us with his experienced take on this topic. Alan is the owner of Untamed Strength, a strongman/powerlifting gym in Sacramento, CA. (The term we were looking for about Alan’s service as a Marine was “body bearer.”) Alan makes some specific equipment recommendations, including racks from Rogue Fitness. Our ideas start around 9:00.

Hey Pride, This may be one of my favorite podcasts to date featuring Alan Thrall owner of Untamed Strength in Sacramento California. Alan is a gym owner, Youtuber, father, strongman, powerlifter, and a good friend of mine. In this EP we talk about the reality of opening up a gym, starting a YouTube channel, and some hilarious stories that happened along his journey. There are a ton of golden nuggets in here. I know you will enjoy this one! Make sure to go follow Alan IG-Untamedstrength YT-Untamed Strength
What's up Pride, I'm really pumped about this podcast because it features a strength icon Zack Even-Esh if you don't know who he is, you are about to find out! But to some it up, Zach inspired and mentored people like Elliott Hulse, Alan Thrall, Mark Bell, Travis Stoetzel, The Juggernaut crew myself and many more! He's a NO BS hard working kind of guy and an amazing coach. He owns The Underground Strength gym and many other Underground Strength Gym locations. I owe a lot to Zach for giving me guidance and fuel for my own gym. Make sure to listen to the podcast, and follow Zach on all platforms!

Alan Thrall is a Marine Corp veteran and the owner of Untamed Strength, which is a strongman/powerlifting gym based in Sacramento California. He’s also competed in multiple Strongman competitions as well as Powerlifting and Olympic Weightlifting meets. He also has a very engaged online community with Untamed Strength and it’s not only because he knows his sh*t when it comes to this stuff but he uses a lot of comedy to keep it entertaining and if you’ve ever seen any of his YouTube videos, you know what I’m talking about. Alan keeps his training and that of his clients, pretty simple; focus on big, compound lifts and get stronger. The story of how he started Untamed Strength is pretty interesting as well and he talks about how and why it all got started. He shares his thoughts on the StrongLifts 5 X 5 program, why it works, and why it's so popular. We also talk about Starting Strength which is one of the most popular books available on strength training and barbell exercises. Being a guy more interested in building strength instead of getting fancy, his gym is built with basic equipment and he shares his ideas on how to build a garage gym on the cheap. He also shares why he doesn't warm up, foam roll, or stretch anymore which flies in the face of what we are all taught when it comes to the basics of movement. His training methods focus on the basics and he uses strongman type conditioning work with his clients and he said something that was pretty funny "Nobody I've ever worked with has ever said "this is boring, do you have a treadmill"." He also said something that I believe to be absolutely true in that "If it means enough to you, you'll get it done." Exactly. If you watch his YouTube videos, you'll also notice a theme in that he plays a lot of heavy metal. I asked him to share some of his favorite bands/songs with me, which is great because I too love some good head banging music! Bring on Slayer!
En este capítulo os hablo de las legumbres, gracias a una pregunta de un/una oyente, rectificando así un error que cometí diciendo que eran "anti-nutrientes", y también comento no uno, ¡si no dos! artículos de prensa: uno sobre un estudio del adelgazamiento en la menopausia, y otro donde un tal "Alan Thrall" dice que los entrenadores personales son un timo.

What's up Pride? A few months back I had the pleasure of doing this Q&A with my friend/strength coach Alan Thrall. He is the owner of Untamed Strength in Sacramento CA. If you haven't seen him he looks like a mixture of Jesus, and a heavy metal viking. -He has built a successful powerlifting, and strongman gym from scratch. -Build a youtube channel with over 455 THOUSAND subscribers. -Established himself as a great online coach and coach for Barbell Medicine -He is STRONG & megestic Hes someone I really respect because he walked the talk and created a gym from scratch which is what I am currerntly doing now. In this podcast we talk about his background, how Untamed Strength came to be, and the troubles along the way. He has also been writing my program as I'm competing in USS Strongman Nationals June 30th. So if you enjoy business, strength training, or just a good story of going against the odds... LISTEN UP! Longer, but all worth it. Enjoy Alans Gym: http://www.trainuntamed.com/ Alans Channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/athrall7

Interview with Alan Thrall: Nutrition, weight loss, and strength training by Barbell Medicine
PowerCast episode originally published Mar 14, 2017. The aggressively squared-jawed strongman competitor, Brian Alsruhe and local strongman competitor/gym owner (and tall garden gnome), Alan Thrall, bring their bromance to the show. Brian has his own gym, NEVERSate Athletics in Westminster, Maryland, and is working hard toward his lightweight strongman pro card. Coming from a martial arts background, Brian was drawn to strongman after the death of his friend and World’s Strongest Man competitor, Mike Jenkins. We kick the show off talking about how internet forums shaped the strength world way back in the late 90s and early 2000’s. You can find Brian at @neversate on social media, https://www.youtube.com/user/AlphaTnation, and at neversate.com. You can find Alan at @untamedstrength, https://www.youtube.com/user/athrall7 and http://www.trainuntamed.com/ A really terrible copy of the first Super Training video is here: https://vimeo.com/208418284 Mark Bell, Mike Farr, and Jim McDonald host. @silentmikke @thejimmcd PowerCast theme and opening music bed by Aaron Moore.
