I love how many of Alan's videos have developed wholesome dad energy since he had kids.

It's gonna be interesting to see what an advanced strength athlete is able to accomplish with a focus on hypertrophy, especially in the upper body department! I've no doubt that you know what you're doing given your training background, but if you ever need some guidance feel free to shoot me a message, I think you'd make a great entry for my training/physique critique series. Cheers!

Love the contrarian advice lately. Machines are good, Planet Fitness is actually good, run and do cardio often it won’t kill your gains. It’s helpful to break the dogmatic thinking people often have in fitness. Also, this looks like a fantastic workout

I’ve been at a time in my life where planet fitness has been the gym that makes the most sense for me to go to. The worst part about it is the goofy signs. But I’ve never actually seen the infamous pizza or bagels there and they’ve never used the lunk alarm. There are some jacked people there so, I guess it is possible. Exercise works no matter where you do it. But ultimately my heart resides in the basement gym. I just can’t do that right now in my apartment.

Can't wait to see the progress you make on this hypertrophy journey.

[daeraticspecializt]

gotta love the NH shotout. You guys are amazing

[Balakay_Adkins]

The Natural Hypertrophy cross-over is one I did not expect! Looking forward to seeing your results Alan.

I’ve said this many times before, but I love how down to earth and humble Alan is. Always very motivational and I like that he took the time to help someone else out. We need more people like this. Always enjoyable videos 👍

Alan teaming up with NH and GVS is the dream. Really good video.

I’m a musician, and I tour 3-5 months out of the year. Planet Fitness, despite its faults, is definitely not as bad as it seems when you have no other option.
I think I’ve been to at least 150 Planet Fitness locations across Canada and America. If you’re creative and adaptive with your training you can get a ton done.

This video comes right on time to me. Last week I signed up on a recently open PF near my house. I can walk/run there and get my cardio out of the way, which I hate doing on a gym anyways. The biggest limitation is the lack of squat racks and barbels, but I've been working aroud replacing excercises with dumbells and smith machines. This video made me realize i'm not too crazy :)

[Nihils]

I can only work out at PF at the moment because of location and financial limitations. I really appreciate a video showing ways of using their equipment. I'd never thought about doing kneeling presses.

Metalhead, gym owner, strongman competitor and super polite. I remember the first time i found this channel, trying to do some deadlifts, the i went from lifting 30kg to 140kg in a few months without back pain, always remembering to "DO NOT MOVE THE BARBELL". Glad this is not one of these videos where the guy does everything to get spelled. You rock, Alan!

[lanierwexford]

Slowly destroying all the bad myths! Stay AWESOME!

[davidmurray]

I love the fact that your showing us work can get done in different settings. Especially your most recent videos. I think you're truly one of the best if not the best content creators in the business Alan. 👍👍👍

OHP and weighted pullups is my go-to start to an upper body day. Love that combo.

[ezradanger]

This is the video I need right now. I'm trying to come back right now after a four-year hiatus from lifting. Between a pretty bad motorcycle accident, having kids, and starting a business, lifting just hasn't been in the cards for the past few years.
I'm actually walking my dog around the neighborhood right now to at least start this getting back in shape journey. And knowing planet fitness will probably actually serve me just fine is actually really good motivation.

I totally relate to the slippery pull-up bars at planet fitness—I look at it as an opportunity to strengthen my grip and just overcome more adversity!!! I hate them, but I love them.

Common Alan Thrall W (I haven’t even gotten past the first ad and started the video while typing this)

[redhawkmillenium]

I was not expecting you to go on a hypertrophy specific training phase! Looking forward to seeing the results.
