Tough a straight up man, old school doorman showered no fear. I especially liked the training, I use lumps of metal on a old bar and use them to bench press and overhead press in my garden plus pick up heavy sacks and run with them,something very therapeutic about training outside (I don’t have a lake to swim in though). Many thanks for putting this up.👍💪

    Thanks for posting this.I knew Alan when he trained at Lou Revelles gym in Clare Court Judd Street near Kings Cross.A great character and of course incredibly strong but most of all a very articulate and decent bloke.I often wondered how he is doing.Hope still going strong.Cheers Jim

    Old style,for sure a tough man ,he is at home with the elements , something alot of the young lads today know nothing about,I used to train in a backstreet gym no heat the frost on the dumbbells on a winter evening you could see your breath when working the punchbag ,everyone that trained there were doormen and the craic was always great ,running in all types of weather hail rain or snow ,that's training ,brings back memories watching this

    Love this. I started lifting in the 70s when I was a teen. I trained in an old school powerlifting gym in an old shack with homemade kit and men who looked like actual monsters. It was a scary place and you'd get a punch or a kick if you failed a weight but it made you tough and pushed your limits. I still lift now at 60 in a gym in my back garden after winning many titles in strength events and powerlifting. Same routine now as it was when I was 16. Go heavy or go home. Still benching 200kg squatting 300kg and deadlifting 300kg albeit with wraps cause of arthiritis. Dont believe me then drop me a line and come and have a session.

      A real man doesn't involve himself in violence. Being a man isn't about how big you are or how many fights you've won. Being a real man is about looking after yourself, your family (if you have one) and doing something positive with your life. Being a brawler isn't about being a man, it's about being immature.
