The teardrop on the quads is getting too big to pull the bar over!
Special effects in editing ;)
I am doing landscaping this weekend so Dramatization depicted in video is what I am expecting. Lol
good luck dude!
Going from failing 570 to hitting 615x2 is pretty stellar dude!
Just trying to get better.
Def steroids. (I’m only kidding)
@@blackcheetos Brandon just eats clen and trens hard
@@BasementBrandon Well then you should be RussSwole soon enough!
It’s ok B
I haven’t pulled heavy for close to 2 years myself. Your still pulling that’s what matter 💪
keep on tuggin
I love the start of the video next to the subscribe button

Need to show some love!
Dude, this couldn't have come at a better time for me. I'm running Juggernaut AI too and just failed my first deadlift in 6+ months and really got in my own head, even though if I had made it, it would have been a 15# lifetime PR, a day after hitting a lifetime PR squat! This was exactly the right sort of mindset coaching I needed to hear going into next week's training. Gonna keep that needle moving forward! Thanks Brandon
Hmm how much does this cost
@@getstrongby4038 ~$30/month
That's what I keep thinking too. I'm hitting these big working numbers on SBD days. Looking forward to the peak and actually testing.
Super good outlook here B, dialing in that out of the gym fatigue and recovery will help you crush 615 next time you come to it! You're killing it man. Blessings
Missed this one somehow!
Nah, it is never a failure when you put in such a solid effort! U may have to buy some more equipment to review for us to fill the void though
I just made a list of stuff I have to review still and it's like 20 things lol.
The day will hopefully come that the mighty brandon will bench damn close to or even 405.( or 395 cause it would be only 35s, 10 of them with the bar ;) )
Got a long way to go lol but appreciate your optimism.
Hi Brandon, I got a Q: Would you advise me to do the Powerlifting or Powerbuilding AI program, if my recovery currently is struggling?
I think you could run into issues with either. I'd try to figure out why you're struggling now.
The big thing for me is that I will miss a lift or something and then want to quit the workout because I get in a bad head space. But he truth is that, I am probably just having an off day and I should continue the workout with 5-10% weight drop from what I expect to do. Finish the workout and remember that bad days will happen, just get through them.
True that! That's where I think RPE and back offs come into play for me. The app makes this easier as for my top set I rated it a 10 and that I didn't hit the goal reps and it gave me pretty doable back offs.
Good update. You hit upon a whole bunch of interesting points about the structure of block programming and the discipline of it which I have started to dislike, as a man a similar age to you. Children and work happen. Realistically, you should have had a deload week and while you would lost some actualised gains, the mental health is more important - finishing a great set should not require looking through your logs to justify your efforts. You can run the program again. You can run the block again. Or switch to conjugate and rely on each week to move forward rather than each quarter. 😉
Congrats on the progress!
Thanks! I'm happy with how things went. Where even on an "off" week I was still able to increase all my numbers! I just went in with the wrong mindset.
My gym had been pulled apart until we get moved. Move in a week and can’t wait to get set back up and get going with the JuggernautAI again.
Get after it!!
I've been running Juggernaut since January without failing a single lift until this Thursday, when I could not finish even my first set of what should have been an RPE 8. I've been extremely disappointed not only because I've done more weight than that multiple times in earlier blocks, but my powerlifting meet is one week from today so it couldn't have happened at a worse time. Going to try to keep in mind that it was just a bad day in a stressful week and not let it get to me going into this competition.
Just a small bump in the road, I always try to look at the work done before that point and it reassures me I'm going in the right direction. go get it!
Just completed a meet this past weekend using the app, and loved how smooth it was! Guided me through attempts and had good places for feedback afterwards too. Chad and the team have done a stellar job!
Great to hear! I'm interested to see how it goes for my mock meet!
Remember that one time u were at the gym and u loaded up like five hundo or somethin for squat and some lady was like “all that work for one?l
lol
On the deadlift 6:19 your back is rounding over and your shoulders dropping forward. The best deadlift video on youtube imo ruclips.net/video/7_rTA-k1hwI/видео.html
Your back is doing too much of the work and you need to treat it more like a leg press. Load your hips and legs instead of grinding it out with your back. Comment for the algorithm and to hopefully help something lol
Yeah my first rep needs work for sure, there's a bit of a shift!
I am also using the app, and I am 1 week behind you. It is super helpful to follow along, and get a small glimpse of the future. Thank you for sharing 🙂
Good luck my dude!!!
Best basement gym on RUclips 🔥💯
Only b/c a lot of people don't put theirs up!
Pulling 615 for 2.5 is far from failure in my book. The kind of gains you’ve shown in the past few months is real progress - aka success. Keep on killing it man!
It's an impressive pull. However the RUclips powerlifting experts will tell you that if you're not pulling 800lbs you're weak. Meanwhile in the real world his numbers are great. Especially over 40. Brian Alshrue once said if you can hit 3-4-5 you won't be the strongest dude in the gym but you aren't exactly weak.
@@bmstylee agreed. Sadly, everyone wants to be a RUclips powerlifting expert instead of just giving props where props are due.
@@twistedbarbell3950 the bigger issue is people have lost complete and total connection with reality on how heavy stuff actually is. The average gym bro will never hit 3-4-5. Add in they think 2" ROM bench preses, 5" ROM sumo deadlifts, and above parallel squats are real lifts doesn't help.
@@bmstylee LOL, I hear ya!
Thanks Marcus
I on week 5 - a deload week - just started AI so I am really interested in these updates!
It's been so good for regulating my effort man... Never had a coach, so this seems to be doing a really good job as a substitute
Hope they're helpful!
@@BasementBrandon yes!
Hey Brandon I’m putting together a basement gym in a 12’ x 14’ space and debating flooring. Should I build you weightlifting platform at 8x8 for my rack and deadlifts, and then stall mat the rest with the 3/4” height difference? Or just mats all over with the 8x4 deadlift platform on top of the mats?
If it were me it would be the latter!
@@BasementBrandon you’re the man! Yeah I’m re-watching all your build videos, and found the answer from your original gym where you said it took up too much space. You’re the man
Your old basement gym pales in comparison to the current version.
They each have their charm!
Great job man regardless! Remember your a 40 year old powerlifting not on juice and appear to have a fair amount of family & work responsibilities.
Love all the videos, keep them coming.
Most people are at their strongest around 40 from what ive seen
Need to keep up with them young'ins.
This app has been amazing at the start of December I was only able to deadlift 435 and now I’m able to do 500
Awesome!
Legend!
Hey man I glad hoping to get your opinion, I sold my bowflex 552 Dumbells to upgrade to powerblocks exp. but I have a shitty barbell, should I upgrade to a rogue Ohio bar and then buy the power blocksor buy the Dumbells and later upgrade my bar. Thanks I’m advance
Hard to say really, do you not have any dumbbells currently? It not that may be the smarter move for now if your bar is doing the job.
@@BasementBrandon yeah man, I don’t have any Dumbells right now
@@BasementBrandon thank you
Will you decrease your updated maxes if they go down due to fatigue etc
Potentially if I feel they're too high. I tend to try to underestimate my 1RM as I believe sub max training to work better for me.
Dude, you are hella strong. Well done.
Thanks Bob!
Is no one else really not gonna comment on Commando? Sad. I got it tho.
Don’t wake my friend. He’s dead tired.
@@BasementBrandon let off some steam Bennett
Glad I am not the only one who has their kids going nuts as soon as you start to make a video
lol ALL THE TIME.
Good shit man. Just started the AI powerbuilding program myself largely because of your videos. Keen as!
Sorry missed this one!
I would love to have your deadlift.
Coming back but still a long way to go!
Keep it positive and keep pounding!!!!
That's how I ended up with 2 kids.
Ever consider a standing desk while working? I find that actually improves my mood FWIW.
I have one, don't find I use it often. Good for calls and stuff like that but not the best for me for actually working.
Brandon thx so much for your HONEST content! Life gets is bro. I just took 5 days off because work was hectic but today we get back at it and because of you I’m honestly thinking of utilizing this program. Good stiff bro!
Appreciate it JA
Good job. Just finished my week 4 and my strength is going up quick. This app is legit. Keep up the good work 💪🏼
Glad to hear it's going well!
Great job getting out of your head about the fatigue. 615 for a double is hard to be mad about in retro. You're crushing the numbers with some smooth looking reps.
Thanks brother!
Ahhh we are all human it’s all good brotha
You mean I'm not a cyborg from the future? :(
@@BasementBrandon dude if you are I need to get on your level
Noooo! It happens
All good!!
At the beginning of each block when you select your accessory exercises for the day, do you keep those same accessories for the entire block or do you do whatever sounds appealing that day?
I try to mix it up, but sometimes I don't like what I pick, so typically for the first week I do just "for this week" and then decide the following if I want to keep them. I try not to change them during a block if i can.
Great progress!!...old man LOL...wait till ya hit 63
Working my way there!
Whipping it out always helps!!!
Hey now.
That's how I ended up with 2 kids!
@@BasementBrandon aint it the truth
Just found your channel today and binging all your training videos...love your mindset in this video regarding your deadlift. Going to try and employ that same positive mentality in my own training.
Appreciate that David, kick some ass.
Hey did you check out the mark bell power project with Doug brighole? Rattled me!
I stopped listening to that podcast when Jim and Mike left.
When I watch your vids on my tv it sounds like someone is walking on my roof when your kids are running around upstairs.
That's what it sounds like for me during filming lol
5 hours of sleep at night? What are you a teenager? I haven't slept like that since I hit like 33 years old.
lol
Can you choose what equipment you have and they base your programming off of that?
No but you can change the exercises to meet your own needs.
You definitely have 615 x4 brother!!💪
Will give it another go!
Speaking of positive just remember when you “fail” 615lb on a deadlift for example, that would be a dream to even get close to that weight for most of us.
Don’t be too hard on yourself brother. Your insanely strong.
I’m 41.....6’4 265lbs and you got me by probably 200lbs on DL, squat etc.
But you prob look like you lift more than I do! :)
@@BasementBrandon No...I look like I always have, an offensive lineman who still wears “husky” jeans and hasn’t seen his abs since he was 2 years old ...lol.
It makes it hard to be in the military with my body type due to the fact I just have a tendency to look a little “chubby” despite being in very good shape.
I only wish I had your looks brother. That would be awesome. I say that in the most heterosexual way possible btw...😅

As someone who writes code for a living at home and works out in the garage I feel you. When you get meetings stacked together due to a crunch it sucks. It messes with your schedule and messes with your lifts a little.
Haha yeah def a creature of habit but prob good for me to break out a little bit!
Come on B. I was looking for a Cooper joke or at least a "that's what she said " joke. So disappointed.
If I only make jokes people will think I actually have something against him
Just because of Arnold algorithm
Let off some steam Bennett.
What’s the biggest flaw/complaint about the app?
TBH it's a dumb one and that is sometimes if you're in a different app and go back you have to start from the main landing page. It's annoying mid workout when it happens.
There are good and bad weeks. They all lead to progress as consistency is the goal.
True that!
I'm just here to admire you bar and plates. Plates are super expensive right now, so I'm sticking to pushups and pull-ups for a while longer.
Rogue has had the cheap iron plates in stock lately. Like $110 for a pair of 45s. About as cheap as they get right now. I'm officially saving for a matched set. Maybe the Rogue Deep Dish or a set of calibrated plates.
Can get some good deals still!
Does the assistance work on this program have a decent amount of volume? Does it include direct arm work and exercises like lateral raises?
I do 2 exercises for bis and tris per week, 2-3 sets. You'd prob be more interested in the powerbuilding program that just came out.
@@BasementBrandon I appreciate the reply. As soon as I sent my comment I received an email about the new powerbuilding program and signed up right away. Chadbot must be watching me...
Super strong man good progress. Love the content keep it up!
Thanks, not dead yet
Hard work is admirable but your schedule spells burnout to me.
Maybe a little less is more Brandon.
The job is a killer.
Ups and downs, but one “off” week of still upping my numbers is a win!
@@BasementBrandon
I'm not implying you are suffering the symptoms of burnout but rather in my oppinion ( which is like an arsehole) is that your schedule could me a precursor to burnout at some point.
For some it would.
Love your channel Brandon. Just trying to prolong it. 😬
@@frankmorris2603 appreciate it Doug!
The basement meaning my ultimate training space with every dream equipment ever
Lol
I need to move my storage gym into a garage or basement ASAP!!!
More space!
Brandon what brand/type of bar are you using for deadlifting?
I think he mixes it up a bit, but he's posted on IG about using the ISF deadlift bar recently.
I have the ISF and Rogue DL bars. I tend to use the ISF on my harder sets b/c it has really aggressive knurling.
What's your weight currently?
I'm pretty sure he's under 220. Which makes these lifts even more impressive than they already are. Especially at his height.
219 this week
looking good Brandon, i can see a huge difference since you started AI
Thanks, still feeling good!
Instagram saw it first 🤓
trueeee
Good stuff Brandon!
Thanks Bob!
Thanks for posting these Brandon, I’m 42 and these videos remind of of how much potential there is at this age.
Not dead yet!
I miss the innuendos
They’re just too deep now
I love you man
me luv u long ime

Your Squats were High ☁️!
