  Speaker 3: you're in the past when it comes to flying.
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, for sure. So we apologize for missing last week,
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: but we're here this week and we're going to have
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: some fun. I, yes, I was, I was doing a
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: promotion for Springfield Armory. They're going to do a magazine.
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: They have a magazine called Armory Life and I should
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: be on the cover of armory life magazine which is
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: going to be pretty cool so we did like a
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: photo shoot and a bunch of other stuff i toured
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: the factory which was absolutely amazing um got to go
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: to the red barn where the whole thing started um
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: it's a armory that was commissioned by uh george washington
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: 1777 yeah to make to make uh firearms for the united.
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: States government so there we go.
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: Military so that's pretty pretty goes back a little bit
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: in history. So it's, it was really neat to get
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: to see that and see where the whole thing started. Um, when, uh,
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: Dennis Reese bought, you know, um, the rights to the name, uh,
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: Springfield Armory. Um, they used to have a barn out, out,
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: out in the, out in the farmland. And they used
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: to buy, um, old used, um, guns from the military
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: and then break them down and then sell them and
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: put other stuff back together and stuff like that. Salvage. And, uh,
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: it was kind of neat. They saw Springfield Armory come
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: up for sale and they went and toured everything. They're like, no,
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: we're going back to making guns. And, uh, they did.
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: So it's, it's pretty cool. It's been, it's a family owned, uh,
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: gun manufacturer. It's pretty neat. So the, you know, the,
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: the big evil three don't own any part of it,
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: which is awesome. That would be that is Black Rock
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: State Vanguard.
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah so it's not fun my father-in-law yeah he's a
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: big springfield armory guy he owns a hellcat he just
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: bought their brand new echelon you know what i'm saying
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: he he you know like i said uh he's he
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: owns a 1911 you know he like i said he's
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: a big springfield armory guy so you know i'm saying
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: we and it was funny enough we're actually out there
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: shooting today with those so yeah.
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: That's pretty cool yeah it's a lot of fun uh
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: oh yeah yeah i have a 1911 um TRP 45 ACP,
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: which is, so it's a 1911 45. It's single stack,
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: but that's, that's okay. It's a lot of fun to shoot.
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: And then I have a Kuna as well, which that's
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: utterly amazing. You know, it's the 30 round magazine is
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: pretty neat and it shoots with almost no recoil. So it's,
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: it's a lot of fun. It really is, but it
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: was neat to go out and tour that and do
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: the photo shoot and meet everybody there. And there, you know,
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: people in the factory that were, coming up and saying
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: hi and, you know, took pictures of them. It was
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: just an unbelievable experience. It's neat to be around companies
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: that are still family owned that treat their employees like family. Yeah.
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: So that's American made, you know what I mean? Yeah.
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: American made family.
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: The definition. Yes. So that was, that was pretty amazing.
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: And to see how they have it organized and like
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: you literally walk in like a U-shaped, U-shaped, like.
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: A horseshoe Play a little floor plan.
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it goes from no gun to the shipping out
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: of the firearms and stuff like that. So it's pretty neat. Nice.
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: It's amazing how that works. So it was a very
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: good trip and very entertaining. And just all the way around,
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: it was a lot of fun. Yeah, being on the
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: cover is a big honor for me. So I was
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: pretty happy about that. So that's why we missed last week,
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: and we're really sorry about that.
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: Oh, yeah, yeah. Like I said, we tried, but like
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: I said, flying and traveling sucks, and everyone here can absolutely,
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: you know, not just agree, but understand. And being as
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: big as Nick is, people don't, you know, that's the
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: other obstacle of travel.
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: The plane delays, and then they lost my bag, and
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: there was a lot of other things that ate up
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: a lot of time that day, so it just... What
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: time we had got shot with the delay and then
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: my bag. But we're here today.
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: We made it. We have one question in this week.
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: Let me pull this up. There's another question, but I'll
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: get to answer that at.
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: A later time. Once we get an opportunity to. Yeah.
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: All right. So, dear Nick, if a person is frugal
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: and doesn't like to add new things when it comes
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: to buying a needed item, such as air purifier or keyboard,
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: he or she may suffer from choice paralysis.
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: Okay. Yeah, I have that.
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: You do?
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah. When it comes to necessary needs, I won't spend,
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: but if it's for the family, I have no problem
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: dropping them off.
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: Right. So avoid return the good to bring trouble and
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: waste time on selecting. How can this be avoided? Well, Laura,
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: basically you have to determine between a want and a need.
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: It's just that simple. If it's a want, yeah, be frugal.
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: Don't spend the money unless it's something that is very desired.
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: If it's a need, go ahead and spend the money.
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: It's that simple. I mean, if you need it, go
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: ahead and get it. As long as it's within the budget,
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: go ahead and get it. If it's needed, there's a
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: reason why you need it. Yep. Definitely go get it.
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: There's a lot of stuff I look at around, just
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: around the house that I bought. There's things I need
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: to buy for the house. So I buy those things
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: for the house. There's things I want to buy for
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: the house. So until I have extra money, I don't
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: buy them. Like I would like to put in all
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: new floors. That's not going to happen anytime soon because
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: it's a want, not a need. But getting the air
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: conditioning fixed in Las Vegas during the summer, Well, that's
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: a need. Yes. You're not going to survive. Yeah. So
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: that's a need. So I spent the money because that
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: got done and taken care of. So it's a simple thing.
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: Just determine whether it's a want or a need. And
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: if it's a need, go ahead and do it. Don't
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: feel guilty about it either. It's something that you needed
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: to stay alive or have a better quality of life.
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: That's another understanding that people need to have a better
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: quality of life. You know what I'm saying? There's a
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: difference between suffering and being comfortable. Please understand the difference.
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: Yes. No kidding.
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Cause like even in the question, it says right here,
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: you know, a air purifier, a keyboard. Well, first of all,
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: we all use computers for every single day. If the
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: computer's boards busted by it, you know what I'm saying?
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: And if you live in a place where an air
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: purifier is, Not just a necessity, but it helps you.
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: Because in some cities, how dense and compact people are
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: and the pollution, it doesn't escape. There's a real thing
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: called smog.
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Guess what?
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: Being able to let your lungs breathe.
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's going to make your everyday better because you're
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: going to get more oxygen when you breathe. You're going
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: to feel better. And it's an okay thing to do.
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: So on the things that you need, it's okay. On
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: the things that you want... but don't necessarily need, then
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: you can be free with that.
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you don't need a brand new purse. I don't
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: need a brand, you know, like a brand new top
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: of the line bag or like, you know, like I said,
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: I've had my eye on this throwaway carry or a
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: quick release sling bag for my Glock. And it's not
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: a need and I want it, but you know, like
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: I said, I'm not ready to drop a hundred dollars
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: on something like that just because I want it, you know?
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: Correct. Correct. So it's okay to be frugal and be
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: tight with your money. Just understand the difference between need
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: and want and you should.
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: Be all good.
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: I hope that helps. Yeah. So let's see here. Also
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: public service announcement. I will not be going back to
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: Virginia November 7th. I will be here in Las Vegas
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: November 7th. some things happen where the guy I, he
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: was using us for the, for the advertisement. And I
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: just thought it was going to be the same as
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: last year. And then I reached out to him and Hey,
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: what's going on? He goes, Oh no, it's just promoting
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: the thing. And we're like, okay. So I will not
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: be going out there. Um, I will be here in
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: Las Vegas. The law, there's a contest here in Las Vegas. Um,
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: and I will be there at the strength games here.
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: So it's at the UFC, uh, at the gym on Centennial.
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: So I will be there probably judging and maybe doing
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: some commentary and stuff like that. So come out, say hi.
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: um love to see you um we can talk and
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: if you have any questions just let me know um
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: let's see here so now on to strongman.
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: Oh yes because we have a lot of strongman because
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: we just had an event happen and we got an
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: event coming up Well, the Giants.
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: Live World Tour Finals were in Glasslow. Yes. And it
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: was pretty interesting. Andre Fujito. I always mess up his
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: last name. Forgive me, Andre. I know. I know. He
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: won it pretty handily.
• 10:35
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: He had 51.5 points and the next was 45.5. So
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: he won by six points. Yeah. He won three of
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: the events, three of the five events. So. Yeah. He
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: won it pretty handily. Let's see here. He won the
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: log lift at 210 kilos, which is pretty amazing. He
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: tied for first with Jack Forgress, did I say that right?
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: Yes. Yeah.
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: They both did 463 pounds, which is pretty good. But,
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: you know, I'm kind of surprised.
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: Well, he competed the weekend before, too, I believe. So
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: this kid is killing it. He's a stud.
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: He's just got to be careful because contests like that back-to-back,
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: now he needs to get some rest and get back
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: to training.
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: Yep.
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: You know, he's going to be really, really good as
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: long as he doesn't do too many contests in a year.
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Or he pushes it hard. Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: Because he's one of those young kids right now, he's
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: coming in hard and fast. And moving up quickly, it's
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: just like you just hate to see someone get burnt out.
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, no kidding. And it looks like it had
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: three guys get 200 kilos.
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: Mateus, Funuk. Evan.
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: And then Evan Singleton. That's that new young kid that
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: was at World's Strongest Man. So that kid, he's coming
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: up hard.
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he's doing well. Pablo Cordiaca, which he's just amazing.
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: And Luke Richardson. Exactly. as well all got 200 kilos
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: so that's uh all tied for third yeah all tied
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: for third so some of that is the way they
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: pick the weights as they go up in a giants
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: live they they pick the weights up to a point
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: and then they allow people um to take other attempts
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: to break records and stuff like that yeah it looks
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: like uh Both of them tried to break Iron BB's record.
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: Both attempted 232, but they both missed it. Exactly.
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: I saw them post it on there, and he almost
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: had it. It's just he went for it for that
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: second time, and the first time he just didn't recover
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: from it.
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, yeah, it's over 500 pounds that you're trying
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: to lift overhead.
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: Exactly.
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: Cleaning it twice is pretty amazing. Exactly. You know, he'll
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: probably– He was pretty darn close with that. So I
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: think that's coming down the pipe. I mean, he comes
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: in there fresh. He had just done a contest the
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: week before. So, I mean, he's pushing into the red
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: pretty hard there. So I think he comes into that
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: fresh without doing a contest the week before. He might
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: get that. Deadlift ladder was the next event. 330 kilos,
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: 360 kilos, 380 kilos, and 400 kilos. That's a pretty
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: heavy deadlift ladder. Exactly.
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: And we're talking about seconds here.
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and of course, Andre got four in 32 seconds,
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: which is pretty fast, and that's pretty darn strong. And
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: then Andrew Flynn was right on his tail. He did
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: four lifts in 33.82 seconds. Andrew's a strong kid. He's
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: also going to have a bright future. He's got a
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: couple little weaknesses here and there, but you know, the
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: group of kids coming up now are a lot better rounded. Their,
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: their weaknesses aren't, you know, they're, they're not as glaring
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: as they were for the past generations where you'd have
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: a guy like me, for instance, I'd be really good
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: at like five of the six events. And then the
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: sixth event, which was overhead, I was just horrible at,
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: but that's okay. Cause I still did well and had
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: a lot of fun.
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: Well, that's the thing though, too. You know what I'm saying?
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: It's all the events in total. But, again, a lot
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: of these guys, they're so more well-rounded and not specialized
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: in just one specific thing like they used to be.
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: You have nothing but heavy deadlifters or heavy squatters, and
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: that's what they were depending on winning.
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah. And then Jack got three lifts in 23.76 seconds. So,
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: I mean, the third lift is 380 kilos. So that's,
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: I think, 837, I believe.
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: I think. Yeah, I think so. It's either 837 or 832. 832.
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: But I think it's 837. Yeah, that's pretty darn good.
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: Evan Singleton only made one of the lifts. He's got
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: back issues. So that was probably smart on his part.
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: Just get a point. Don't zero the event and then
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: move on to the next thing, which the next thing
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: was the super yoke and the farmer's walk. The farmer's
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: walk was 331 a hand. That's not that bad. Um,
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: so that's a, that's a, that's a pretty decent weight.
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: And the super yoke was 450 kilos. So nine 92,
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: that that's pretty darn heavy, but that's still, it's within
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: the wheelhouse. All these guys with no problem.
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly. Cause these guys are, you know, that, that
• 15:54
  Speaker 3: thousand pound yoke.
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah. To give you an idea, um, they go 20
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: meters down, they go 20 meters back and, Pablo Cordiaca
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: did it in 23.63 seconds.
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: He was moving.
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: So you're looking at less than 12 seconds down. Actually,
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: you're probably looking at like 11 seconds down, drop, switch implements,
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: pick it up and go. So you probably ran it
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: probably 10 seconds on the farmers and probably close to
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: 10 seconds on the yoke.
• 16:26
  Speaker 4: Exactly.
• 16:27
  Speaker 3: Can you imagine if this was combined numbers for football?
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, which is pretty good.
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: That much weight?
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah. And then a very improved Evans Nana. Yes.
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: He keeps, man. He keeps growing.
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: Terry's doing a great job with him. He really is.
• 16:43
  Speaker 3: Terry Hollins.
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: Just coaching him. He's starting to get good at the
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: events Terry was good at as well.
• 16:49
  Speaker 3: As everything else. Well, he's starting to podium.
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying? Mm-hmm. 23.31 seconds. So, again,
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: a very fast time. And then Mateus did 27.3, which
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: is– Also, that's a good time. That's a good, solid time,
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: especially against these guys.
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: And he's a tall kid.
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think Evan with a fresh back and it
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: not bothering him probably could have won that event. But
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: his back's not right. So until he gets that right.
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: He literally needs to rest it up.
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: You know, in all honesty, if he wasn't under contract
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: to do that show, he shouldn't have done it. Um,
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: he should, he should be concentrating on getting his back straight. Um,
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: if I was his coach, that's what I would have
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: made him do.
• 17:42
  Speaker 4: Oh yeah.
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah.
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: Sorry.
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: I keep drinking time down.
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Sorry. I keep drinking water. I, uh, I'm starting
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: to get back to training and I left work a
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: little early today and went to dragon's lair and train
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: back and biceps. And then, uh, Ben here worked his
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: tail off, getting all the stuff ready for the show
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: as I was driving home. And I definitely did not
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: have enough water when I was at the gym, but
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: I was very excited. I managed to get to low
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: rows and some other things. So I was able to
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: actually get my feet up. I was very happy about that.
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: So movement's getting a little better.
• 18:23
  Speaker 3: We'll talk about that in a second when we break
• 18:26
  Speaker 3: it down.
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Event four was the Hercules hold.
• 18:31
  Speaker 3: That's correct.
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that was, you know, top three were Eddie Williams.
• 18:38
  Speaker 3: Eddie Williams, yep. And he's been, hey, not last, you know,
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: World's Strongest Man, I think he set the record for it. Yeah,
• 18:49
  Speaker 3: because Rhino let it go too early.
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Rhino let it go too early, but I still
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: think Mark's got the, had the record.
• 18:56
  Speaker 3: Oh, yeah, no, no, he's got the record record. I'm
• 18:58
  Speaker 3: just saying for these new kids coming up.
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah. But Eddie's got a really strong grip. 94.50
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: is pretty good.
• 19:07
  Speaker 3: That's fighting it.
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: Yep. And then Evan came in. Something that doesn't bother
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: his back. Big shocker. You got second place at 89.84 seconds. Yep.
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: Which is great. I think this is 330 in the hands.
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, 330.
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: No, that's the farmer's walk.
• 19:22
  Speaker 3: No, no.
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: 441 in the hands. Per hand. 441 per hand. Okay.
• 19:24
  Speaker 3: 200 kg per hand. weight per hand.
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: Okay and then uh andre got third at 85.13 seconds
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: so that's pretty good and then oh mark felix came
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: up after everybody.
• 19:42
  Speaker 4: Was done 60 years old 60 60 years young doesn't
• 19:46
  Speaker 4: even look it and you know grip is probably one
• 19:49
  Speaker 4: of the last things to go unless you mess up
• 19:52
  Speaker 4: your fingers or stuff like that.
• 19:55
  Speaker 3: Mark Felix's hands are ridiculous. He shakes my hands every
• 19:59
  Speaker 3: time we go to OSG. And every time I'm like,
• 20:01
  Speaker 3: God damn it, where did this bear paw come from?
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah. Yeah, his hands are absolutely huge. But he
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: held it, a new record, 103.81 seconds.
• 20:14
  Speaker 3: That's one minute, 43.8 seconds.. 81, yeah.
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: So he just demolished the old world record. And I
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: think Mark's probably taking the philosophy kind of like I
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: did towards the end. Whenever you get to go on there,
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: You're not holding anything back anymore. So if you can
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: move the world record into a territory that nobody's going
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: to beat for a very long time, you just sell
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: out and do it. You might never ever beat it again.
• 20:46
  Speaker 3: Special lifter.
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah. So he was probably feeling very, very good that day.
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: Just grabbed a hold and he's like, yeah, I'm just
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: not going to let this thing.
• 20:55
  Speaker 3: Go until there's nothing left.
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: And I think now we saw what Mark was actually
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: capable of on this thing without sandbagging. Exactly.
• 21:06
  Speaker 3: So he's not just doing enough to win.
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he set a mark that's going to be really,
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: really hard for any way.
• 21:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that is some serious freaking time to hold right there.
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: That's pretty difficult. So, yeah, that was pretty amazing for
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: him to do.
• 21:21
  Speaker 3: That's it.
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm very happy for him. That's amazing.
• 21:27
  Speaker 3: And especially at his age, you know what I'm saying? And,
• 21:30
  Speaker 3: you know, you and Mark are literally flagships and a
• 21:36
  Speaker 3: symbol for people at this age because it's like, look,
• 21:40
  Speaker 3: I don't want to call you old, but you're changing
• 21:43
  Speaker 3: the definition of old. Mark is changing the definition. This
• 21:46
  Speaker 3: is what happens when you take care of yourself. This
• 21:48
  Speaker 3: is what happens when you train right.
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's kind of crazy because I really didn't train
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: my upper body that much through the hip replacements and
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: stuff either, but I did a little bit, but not
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: too much. And then now, I've been back at it
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: about four weeks, and I did 365 on the bench
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: this week, belligerently easy.
• 22:11
  Speaker 3: I was like, okay.
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: So I know 400's in there now.
• 22:16
  Speaker 3: Oh, yeah. It's creeping back up.
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: Right. So next week I'll probably try to do a
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: double or a triple with 365, and then the week
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: after that I'll probably go up into the 400's again.
• 22:28
  Speaker 3: And you guys hear how he's saying that, right?
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 22:32
  Speaker 3: Planned.
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: Planned. Just because you can doesn't mean you should.
• 22:36
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: Unless it's a competition. It's not.
• 22:43
  Speaker 3: That's a different story.
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: I'm moving progressively, methodically through the recovery process and getting
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: back into training just like today I was doing back
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: and then there's this row machine. It's a crazy looking
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: machine and it's single stacked in the center but the
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: angle that you're sitting at and you're pulling like almost
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: straight up from the ground. So it's a lot harder
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: than a regular, uh, row, you know, ISO row machine. Yeah.
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: And the first time I got back to doing it,
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: I did like four plates. I did a set of
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: eight and I was like, Oh my God. Wow. Okay, cool.
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: And then today I did six plates for eight reps
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: and I was like, not too bad. First, first exercise done.
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: And then moved on to the, uh, The T-bar, the
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: chest-supported T-bar with it sticking way out. I did four
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: plates on that today for, I think, a set of
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: five with no problem. So I was like, okay, and
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: that one's a machine that everybody kind of shies away from.
• 23:50
  Speaker 3: Oh, yeah, yeah. It's a humbler because it shows true strength.
• 23:53
  Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying?
• 23:55
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 23:55
  Speaker 3: And even with that, everyone understanding what Nick is doing,
• 23:59
  Speaker 3: especially with these rows, The force you have to place
• 24:02
  Speaker 3: on your hips and legs to stay connected is on
• 24:06
  Speaker 3: another level because that's one of those things. So it's
• 24:08
  Speaker 3: not something you can just lay on and make happen.
• 24:10
  Speaker 3: It does not work like that.
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: Still got to balance myself and push and brace. So
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: that was pretty cool. And then I managed to get
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: into the low row machine this week. I put an
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: extender on it and was actually able to get my
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: foot up on it. So that was awesome. I did
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: the stack for like 20. The guy's like, look at me.
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: He's like, I thought you had your hips replaced. This
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: is the first time you're doing low rows. I go,
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: it was.
• 24:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly. That's why I only did it for 20.
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: So it was a great day. I was very happy
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: about it.
• 24:47
  Speaker 3: So that's it. Well, then we understand why you need
• 24:50
  Speaker 3: to stay hydrated.
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah. So I went in there and just, I was
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: feeling good today. Um, didn't go totally crazy, but, Didn't
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: take it easy either. So it was just a great day.
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: But we should probably finish this show.
• 25:05
  Speaker 3: Oh, yeah, yeah. Let's finish out the– Sorry, guys. We
• 25:09
  Speaker 3: are at the Giants Live Power Stairs.
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we're at the Power Stairs. So the Power Stairs
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: were 200, 210, 225, 240, and 250.
• 25:15
  Speaker 3: KG.
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: So 250 is 551. 240 I think is 529 225
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: is 496 I believe 210 is uh 460 and 200
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: is 440 so the first so the first three of
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: those are not going to be too bad then it's
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: going to be a little challenging and then really hard so.
• 25:44
  Speaker 3: It jumps big time yeah and how do you how
• 25:47
  Speaker 3: do those implements you know what I'm saying that they're
• 25:49
  Speaker 3: using on those ones how's the handles on those are
• 25:51
  Speaker 3: those Is it like a T-bar or are they pulling
• 25:55
  Speaker 3: on a freaking ring?
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: No, no. I think they're pretty solid for them.
• 26:00
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: If I recall, the Giants live ones are pretty good.
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: They're just a little high. So if you're shorter, it's
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: going to be harder. But if you're taller, you're not
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: going to have a problem. And, of course, Andre wins
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: that by the slimmest of margins. You had three guys.
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: The top three all finished in the same second. They
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: were all in 44 seconds.
• 26:22
  Speaker 3: And he won, so it says right here, he won
• 26:24
  Speaker 3: by 0.07 second separation between first and second. 0.07, and then,
• 26:28
  Speaker 3: so Ben Glasscock got second by 0.0.
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah. So at 44.13, Andre got 44.06, and then Mateus
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: got it in 44.89. So that was a sprint, and
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: with weights like that, that's... That's saying something right there.
• 26:53
  Speaker 3: Big time.
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: Andre ended up with a six-point lead at the end
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: of all that. He's pretty much dominating that show that way.
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: That's almost winning by a whole entire event. Exactly. He
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: could have got sixth place in that and still won.
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: That's saying something right there. I think if he gets
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: some rest, he gets some more good training in, I
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: think he's going to be very dangerous at World's Strongest
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: Man and some of these.
• 27:26
  Speaker 3: Other contests that he's going to. Oh, yeah. No, no,
• 27:30
  Speaker 3: I agree.
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: You know what I mean? And Mateus is also going
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: to be a lot for people to deal with coming
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: up very soon. And he's a young kid, so.
• 27:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah, 21. It says it right.
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: Here, 21. Yeah, he keeps competing and doing very well.
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: Now he needs to take some time and get back
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: to training.
• 27:48
  Speaker 3: That's it.
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah. And then it looks like, yeah, had, had withdrawn
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: after a couple of events, which, you know, he's got
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: an injury, you know, he needs, he needs to take
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: it easy. So he hurt something and probably was just like,
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: you know what?
• 28:07
  Speaker 3: And it's, it's better for him right now or coaching
• 28:09
  Speaker 3: him right now. That's my question.
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: I don't know. They, whoever, they need you to do
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: a better job to a certain degree. with it a
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: little bit um you know he's getting hurt too often
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: and he's not that old yeah so you know but
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: it's a it's a smart thing for him though to
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: get injured and then back off now he's going to
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: come back and get healthy again and um get back
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: to it i mean he's a former world's strongest man
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: three-time world's strongest man so the invites already going to
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: be automatically there exactly he doesn't have to fight for
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: an invite he's won the show As long as he's
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: in shape, they'll invite him back. That's kind of like
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: the old rules that have pretty much always been there.
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: I'm sure if Brian Shaw came back and said, Hey,
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: I'm in shape and I want to do this. Exactly.
• 29:04
  Speaker 3: Which he is in shape.
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: Not strong man shape. If he was in strong man
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: shape and said, Hey, I want to come back and
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: do this again.
• 29:13
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah.
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: He would be able to do that. So Tom's got
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: the same thing. So you, He doesn't have to have
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: the stress that a lot of these younger guys do
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: that have never won. Okay, I performed bad.
• 29:24
  Speaker 3: I'm injured.
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: How am I going to get there? He's not going
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: to have to worry about that. Exactly. Even with his
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: back injury, Evan managed to finish fourth. The Hercules hole
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: and a couple of the other events, that should definitely
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: be appreciated. to, I mean, the top three automatically go,
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: but that should be good enough to get Evan in. Yeah.
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: It's a world star. So now he.
• 29:47
  Speaker 3: Just needs to. I hope he lines himself up for it.
• 29:49
  Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying? Because next year is going
• 29:51
  Speaker 3: to be insane because like I said, Smo's back. So
• 29:54
  Speaker 3: it's like, that should be something.
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: Like, Schmo's back and he's got to defend that title
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: and then World's Strongest Man is far enough away from
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: Schmo for him to go all out at that one,
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: come back, take a couple weeks off, rest, and then
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: start preparing for World's Strongest Man. So getting over this
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: back injury is the utmost importance in my opinion for
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: him right now. Agreed. He needs to stop showing up
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: and doing contests. He needs to you know Get his
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: body back to being healthy.
• 30:31
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: And then, of course, October 23rd and 25th is the
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: Rogue Invitational.
• 30:40
  Speaker 3: This weekend.
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah, coming up. So that's going to be a good,
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: heavy show. It's going to be some pretty darn good
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: people lifting in it. Deadlift ladder. Then there's going to
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: be the Vikings.
• 30:55
  Speaker 3: I didn't get the weights. Yeah. I tried to get
• 30:57
  Speaker 3: the weights, but I didn't find them.
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll probably– yeah. It's going to be heavy.
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: Heavy.
• 31:05
  Speaker 3: It's going to be heavy.
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: The Viking press, that'll be over 400 pounds for reps. Yeah.
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: The Conan's wheel, that's going to be– that's going to
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: separate a lot of people. That really is right there because,
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: I mean, who's willing to suffer?
• 31:21
  Speaker 3: I'm wanting to see how far Mitch is going to
• 31:24
  Speaker 3: take that.
• 31:26
  Speaker 2: Depending on where he goes. I, if, if he does
• 31:32
  Speaker 2: good in the, if he does good in the Viking
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: press and the deadlift ladder, I think he'll go as
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: far as he thinks he gets to go last. He'll
• 31:43
  Speaker 2: go just further than whoever is in first place. I
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: think if something happens and he doesn't do that good
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: at the deadlift ladder and he does okay in the
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: Viking press, he'll, And he'll go early. I think he'll
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: go nearly forever with that thing. He'll go until he can't,
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: which is going to be further than anybody else goes. Exactly.
• 32:09
  Speaker 3: And between him and Martins, that's the event I'm looking
• 32:12
  Speaker 3: to watch.
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that'll be a fun one to watch. If Martins
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: picks it up right, he'll go a long, long way
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: with that. And Martins, when he's in competition shape and
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: he has his mind set to And he's dialed in. Excel,
• 32:34
  Speaker 2: he's another one like Hooper that has no shutoff. He'll
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: go until he breaks or real close to it. So
• 32:44
  Speaker 2: he can just exceed the limit of what he's capable of.
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: The fourth event is a yoke carry into a log press.
• 32:53
  Speaker 2: That's going to be you know, going fast in the
• 32:56
  Speaker 2: yoke is going to be a big deal because there's
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: so many guys here to press this log.
• 33:01
  Speaker 3: Um, pretty darn good.
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: So you're going to have to have a pretty solid
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: technique and a pretty solid yoke run and then come
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: up and be able to quickly, um, get ready and
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: press the log. You're going to have to go, you're
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: going to have to go fast. Cause that's an event
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: that Hooper's just going to slaughter.
• 33:22
  Speaker 4: Um, yeah.
• 33:23
  Speaker 3: I think.
• 33:26
  Speaker 2: Martins is actually going to do pretty good at that too.
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: Because Martins will clean that log pretty fast. Yeah. I
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: don't know that anyone's going to beat Hooper in the yoke. Yeah.
• 33:40
  Speaker 2: Or be within a couple seconds of it. Yeah, he's
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: got the footwork. Yeah, I think he'll probably be three
• 33:46
  Speaker 2: to four seconds ahead of everybody in the yoke. And
• 33:50
  Speaker 2: the conditioning that he's in, if he sprints over to
• 33:53
  Speaker 2: the log and does the lean back and push and
• 34:01
  Speaker 2: does three in pretty good time, yeah, that's an event
• 34:07
  Speaker 2: he should easily kind of cruise through and win. And
• 34:11
  Speaker 2: the grip medley, that's going to be interesting. I think
• 34:16
  Speaker 2: that'll be... for Trey, that'll be a problem. Yeah.
• 34:22
  Speaker 3: It's going to be the hardest event for him. You
• 34:23
  Speaker 3: know what I'm saying? Like, you know, I know he's
• 34:25
  Speaker 3: worked on it as much as he has. He's done
• 34:27
  Speaker 3: a lot of pinch plates and, and really, but God,
• 34:31
  Speaker 3: it's just the one event.
• 34:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Which I think he'll do really good at that
• 34:36
  Speaker 2: yoke and log too, but he he'll just be a
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: little bit slow. Yeah.
• 34:40
  Speaker 3: Yeah. You know, Trey is fast, but he just, Yeah.
• 34:46
  Speaker 2: He needs to wear skateboard shoes. I know he loves
• 34:51
  Speaker 2: the barefoot shoes.
• 34:51
  Speaker 3: He loves the flats.
• 34:52
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 34:53
  Speaker 3: He loves those flats.
• 34:54
  Speaker 2: But he needs to wear skateboard shoes while doing the yoke.
• 34:57
  Speaker 2: He really does. It'll take some of that pressure off
• 35:02
  Speaker 2: and he'll actually be faster with them.
• 35:05
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 35:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah. So, I mean, Austin Andrade will not have a
• 35:10
  Speaker 2: problem with the grip. His yoke won't be fast, but
• 35:13
  Speaker 2: the logs will. Yeah. His log, his yoke won't be
• 35:17
  Speaker 2: slow either, but it's just, it's not going to be
• 35:21
  Speaker 2: as quick. So he can make up for that pressing
• 35:24
  Speaker 2: the log fast. Like, yeah, like one motioning those logs
• 35:27
  Speaker 2: and locking them out and then down, just take it
• 35:31
  Speaker 2: straight down with the, with the handles all the way
• 35:33
  Speaker 2: down to the pad, pull it right off, set it
• 35:35
  Speaker 2: in your lap and clean it and press it again.
• 35:38
  Speaker 2: If he does three, one motions that way, he can
• 35:40
  Speaker 2: make up for any time that he lost on the yoke.
• 35:42
  Speaker 2: He's that good of a presser. So, and so can
• 35:44
  Speaker 2: trade it. Both of them can do that. So it's
• 35:47
  Speaker 2: going to, if they don't get more than probably four
• 35:50
  Speaker 2: seconds behind in the yoke, they might be able to
• 35:53
  Speaker 2: make up that difference. So that'll be kind of interesting.
• 35:59
  Speaker 2: And the Mons Meg stones. So that'll be, that'll be
• 36:03
  Speaker 2: stone loading and, you know, a technique and stuff like that.
• 36:06
  Speaker 2: So that's, that's also, that's going to be a really
• 36:10
  Speaker 2: interesting thing. Hooper's really good at learning stuff on the fly.
• 36:15
  Speaker 2: He can look at things and figure out how to
• 36:17
  Speaker 2: lift them. Martins is really good at just lifting odd objects. Yep.
• 36:22
  Speaker 3: So that'll... Trey is just insane at just picking shit up.
• 36:26
  Speaker 2: Trey is just... If it's a stone, he doesn't need tacky.
• 36:30
  Speaker 2: He doesn't need anything. He's just going to pick it up.
• 36:33
  Speaker 3: Exactly.
• 36:33
  Speaker 2: So those three guys will probably go crazy. And Rayno
• 36:38
  Speaker 2: Nell is also going to be doing this. So Rayno
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: is also going to be another one that him and
• 36:45
  Speaker 2: Hooper should go one and two in that yoke and log.
• 36:49
  Speaker 2: And then they'll, they're both going to do well in
• 36:52
  Speaker 2: the grip. They're both going to do, they're both going
• 36:55
  Speaker 2: to do well in every one of these events. Yeah.
• 36:58
  Speaker 3: I think Rayno's pretty good at the Viking press too.
• 37:01
  Speaker 3: That's one of those things.
• 37:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah.
• 37:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 37:04
  Speaker 2: I don't see, Trey and Austin, I don't see those
• 37:08
  Speaker 2: two though, will do the Viking press forever.
• 37:10
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah.
• 37:10
  Speaker 2: So I don't see, really anybody beating Trey other than
• 37:14
  Speaker 2: maybe Austin in the Viking press. Reno's going to do
• 37:18
  Speaker 2: really well. Pablo Kordiaka is going to also be.
• 37:21
  Speaker 3: He's replacing Hathor, yeah.
• 37:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah. The problem with Pablo is the deadlift medley is
• 37:27
  Speaker 2: going to kill him.
• 37:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly. He's going to be.
• 37:29
  Speaker 2: So far back, but now his deadlift's been getting better.
• 37:32
  Speaker 2: He's been working on it. So if he gets maybe
• 37:37
  Speaker 2: fifth or sixth in the deadlift... If he can manage that,
• 37:40
  Speaker 2: that might be enough to keep him in the running
• 37:42
  Speaker 2: because he'll be good with the yoke. He'll be good
• 37:45
  Speaker 2: with the log. He'll also be another one. That'll be
• 37:49
  Speaker 2: the top three right there in the log. Because he's
• 37:53
  Speaker 2: fast with the yoke. And he can one motion all
• 37:55
  Speaker 2: those logs. The logs. So that'll be good. And then
• 38:01
  Speaker 2: here we go. We got Andre again. Yep.
• 38:03
  Speaker 3: And he just won. The last scout. So just like.
• 38:08
  Speaker 2: who just won the last two shows. And now he's
• 38:10
  Speaker 2: coming to this. It's six days later.
• 38:15
  Speaker 4: Exactly.
• 38:16
  Speaker 3: It's like, what kind of recovery did you give yourself?
• 38:18
  Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying? It's like, you know, like
• 38:21
  Speaker 3: you can do all the therapy in the world right now.
• 38:24
  Speaker 3: And it's like, how much are you going to recover?
• 38:27
  Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying? I understand like, you know,
• 38:29
  Speaker 3: whether he was, you know, you know, contracted out for
• 38:33
  Speaker 3: that show, but it's like, one thing that we talked
• 38:35
  Speaker 3: about before is like, This was supposed to be a
• 38:38
  Speaker 3: tune-up show, not to go all out. And he went
• 38:40
  Speaker 3: all out.
• 38:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah. So... And this is the big paycheck. Yeah. This
• 38:46
  Speaker 2: one pays more than all the rest. Yep. So this
• 38:50
  Speaker 2: is the one, if you're going to drop the hammer on,
• 38:51
  Speaker 2: this is the one you want to drop the hammer on.
• 38:53
  Speaker 2: He's already dropped the hammer twice.
• 38:55
  Speaker 3: Real talk.
• 38:56
  Speaker 2: So... That being said... You know, hopefully he gets through
• 39:03
  Speaker 2: the contest and win peace. Hopefully he doesn't get... You know.
• 39:08
  Speaker 2: He's not too wore out and hopefully he's got the
• 39:10
  Speaker 2: energy but he's a young kid so but three shows
• 39:15
  Speaker 2: this back to back to back is yeah that's a
• 39:18
  Speaker 2: lot that's pretty you know if he does that look
• 39:22
  Speaker 2: out because he'll get to worlds That's 10 events in
• 39:29
  Speaker 2: four days. Exactly. Might possibly be a decent way to
• 39:36
  Speaker 2: train for Worlds.
• 39:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 39:39
  Speaker 2: The Strongman Survivor Series, as I like to call it.
• 39:43
  Speaker 2: You might want to do a clip of that one
• 39:46
  Speaker 2: later off of this. But it's going to be fun
• 39:50
  Speaker 2: to watch. There's a lot of really good guys that are.
• 39:54
  Speaker 3: Oh, yeah. This is a lineup. So, you know.
• 39:58
  Speaker 2: So how recovered is Hooper? Is he in his peak
• 40:04
  Speaker 2: form or is he just coming in, you know, to
• 40:08
  Speaker 2: do the show? I think he's coming in pretty good form.
• 40:12
  Speaker 2: I think he's ready.
• 40:13
  Speaker 3: So we'll see how all that goes.
• 40:16
  Speaker 2: And Reno and all. What's he coming in like? Is
• 40:19
  Speaker 2: he coming in just wanting to take that back and
• 40:23
  Speaker 2: take it away from Mitchell? I would definitely say, yeah.
• 40:27
  Speaker 2: If I was him, I'd be that motivated. Exactly. And
• 40:31
  Speaker 2: like I said, there's nothing but good events for both
• 40:34
  Speaker 2: of these guys in here. There's good events for Austin.
• 40:37
  Speaker 2: There's only one bad event for Trey. So this is
• 40:40
  Speaker 2: going to be a battle. Yeah. This is going to
• 40:43
  Speaker 2: be a great battle. It's going to be fun to watch.
• 40:45
  Speaker 3: I cannot wait to see this. I think it's going
• 40:46
  Speaker 3: to be high points, man. That's it. That is it.
• 40:51
  Speaker 3: Nobody better mess up. That's just what we're looking at
• 40:53
  Speaker 3: right here because that's how this lineup is. Everybody's a hitter.
• 40:57
  Speaker 3: Everybody's World's Strongest Man material here. And we have former
• 41:00
  Speaker 3: World's Strongest Man just biting to fucking take it.
• 41:04
  Speaker 2: Oh, I know. So basically, if you do mess something up,
• 41:06
  Speaker 2: you got to have a short memory and just put
• 41:08
  Speaker 2: it out. Yeah. Because in a contest like this, everybody
• 41:11
  Speaker 2: can screw something up. Everybody. So the guy who has
• 41:16
  Speaker 2: not the greatest event needs to have a short memory
• 41:19
  Speaker 2: and come back and hit the next one.
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 41:21
  Speaker 2: So, but it's, it's going to be a good test
• 41:24
  Speaker 2: of will. And it's going to be fun to watch.
• 41:27
  Speaker 3: Um, okay.
• 41:29
  Speaker 2: And that's all I got to say about that.
• 41:31
  Speaker 4: Oh yeah.
• 41:33
  Speaker 2: It's my forest. Let's go.
• 41:35
  Speaker 3: Let's go a little bit into your recovery.
• 41:38
  Speaker 2: Go into my recovery. Well, I kind of already talked
• 41:41
  Speaker 2: about a lot of that today. So, but I'm making
• 41:44
  Speaker 2: decent progress. Um, The left hip, which was the good hip,
• 41:52
  Speaker 2: the tendons in it are really tight. I think the
• 41:56
  Speaker 2: right hip will get where it needs to be whenever
• 42:00
  Speaker 2: I need it to get there. It's doing really, really well.
• 42:06
  Speaker 2: The one that got infected, which is crazy to think about.
• 42:10
  Speaker 2: The left hip, it's just going to be constant battle,
• 42:14
  Speaker 2: constant pushing, constant Just going to the uncomfortable zones, not
• 42:21
  Speaker 2: going over it, but going into the uncomfortable zones. Because
• 42:24
  Speaker 2: I've gotten a lot more range of motion out of it.
• 42:27
  Speaker 2: I really have. But it still needs to go more.
• 42:31
  Speaker 2: And then with that range of motion, I also need
• 42:34
  Speaker 2: to be able to lean forwards at the bottom and
• 42:36
  Speaker 2: bring my weight forwards. So once that happens, then it's on.
• 42:42
  Speaker 2: Then it's good to go. I keep working on... trying
• 42:46
  Speaker 2: to get my ankle up past my knee and then
• 42:50
  Speaker 2: eventually bend my knee and sit with it up there,
• 42:54
  Speaker 2: you know, kind of like to, to stretch out the hip,
• 42:59
  Speaker 2: to stretch out the glutes.
• 43:00
  Speaker 3: To get to where I can tie my shoes.
• 43:03
  Speaker 2: So my, my biggest goal, the thing that will make
• 43:06
  Speaker 2: me the happiest out of all of this, because I
• 43:08
  Speaker 2: know the strength is going to be there. I'm not
• 43:10
  Speaker 2: worried about that in the slightest is to get down
• 43:13
  Speaker 2: and be able to tie my shoes. That's my goal.
• 43:17
  Speaker 2: So just keep working to that point to where I
• 43:20
  Speaker 2: can get there. I can already now put my underwear
• 43:24
  Speaker 2: and pants on without the helper. So that's awesome. That's
• 43:32
  Speaker 2: made me very happy. I'm able to step in and
• 43:34
  Speaker 2: out of the shower now. So it's all these little
• 43:36
  Speaker 2: things that just keep falling and then just stay on
• 43:40
  Speaker 2: that and just keep the slow methodical process going. Really,
• 43:44
  Speaker 2: it's all it is.
• 43:46
  Speaker 3: That's all it is. You know what I'm saying? And
• 43:48
  Speaker 3: also too, everyone remember, this is all within months of
• 43:51
  Speaker 3: still happening. So this is not a short period. It's
• 43:54
  Speaker 3: one thing I always try to remind you, Nick, it's
• 43:56
  Speaker 3: like this surgery just happened. This isn't a year already.
• 44:00
  Speaker 3: It's just happened. So it's like, this is all still fresh,
• 44:03
  Speaker 3: but yet you're still this far.
• 44:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah. One of the bodybuilders that we're training today, he
• 44:09
  Speaker 2: was training his client. We were using the same. He's like,
• 44:12
  Speaker 2: you want to work in? I'm like, yeah, sure. And
• 44:13
  Speaker 2: we're sitting there talking and stuff. He's like, when was
• 44:16
  Speaker 2: your surgery? I'm like, Oh, well, it was completely done
• 44:19
  Speaker 2: in June. And he's like, he just turns and looks
• 44:23
  Speaker 2: at me. He's like, really? I'm like, yeah. So I
• 44:27
  Speaker 2: just got to know and understand I'm making good progress. Yes.
• 44:32
  Speaker 2: You know, I have to, the hardest thing with this
• 44:36
  Speaker 2: is literally the patients, you know, and the slow methodical
• 44:41
  Speaker 2: process of it. It's, it's just taking a percent a day.
• 44:46
  Speaker 2: That's it. 1% a day. Eventually that's it. You know,
• 44:50
  Speaker 2: you'll get to a hundred percent or a half a
• 44:52
  Speaker 2: percent a day or just, yeah, it's the slow methodical,
• 44:56
  Speaker 2: you know, work and yeah. Everything that you're putting into
• 44:59
  Speaker 2: that's going to make a big difference.
• 45:00
  Speaker 3: And then that's exactly it.
• 45:02
  Speaker 2: It's also good for my soul to just in, in
• 45:05
  Speaker 2: mental state to get back to training. Just, yeah. Just
• 45:10
  Speaker 2: back to going in and doing real therapy, real therapy.
• 45:14
  Speaker 2: And then, know the searcher squats onto the the drum
• 45:19
  Speaker 2: um the drum throne um.
• 45:21
  Speaker 3: You know we uh we i'm gonna take a screen
• 45:23
  Speaker 3: grab that picture of you doing that and send me
• 45:27
  Speaker 3: the name of that company because it's like all right
• 45:28
  Speaker 3: this is how much weight is being supported by this
• 45:31
  Speaker 3: yeah gibraltar see.
• 45:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah i tagged them in the.
• 45:34
  Speaker 3: Post okay yeah just to give them an idea because
• 45:38
  Speaker 3: i'm exactly.
• 45:40
  Speaker 2: Right now, I'm right at about 290 pounds. And then
• 45:44
  Speaker 2: I was doing that with 315. So that's 600 pounds
• 45:48
  Speaker 2: sitting on the drum throne.
• 45:49
  Speaker 3: Exactly. Taking it.
• 45:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 45:51
  Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying?
• 45:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah. And it was solid. That's the thing. It's solid.
• 45:57
  Speaker 2: It's not moving, which is why I got it. So
• 46:00
  Speaker 2: when I sit there and make noise on the drum kit,
• 46:02
  Speaker 2: because I'm not a great drummer, but it is so
• 46:05
  Speaker 2: fun to do.
• 46:06
  Speaker 3: I've been there when you practice. So you ain't got
• 46:08
  Speaker 3: to explain that to me.
• 46:11
  Speaker 2: I appreciate that. But yeah, it's, it's a lot of
• 46:15
  Speaker 2: fun and I just enjoy it. It's, it's something that,
• 46:18
  Speaker 2: you know, just gives me mental peace of mind.
• 46:21
  Speaker 3: It's just fun. That's it.
• 46:23
  Speaker 2: That's it. Yeah. Yeah.
• 46:25
  Speaker 3: We covered pretty much everything. Nick, go ahead and take
• 46:28
  Speaker 3: us on out. Also too, for those who see in
• 46:31
  Speaker 3: the corner, that's US Law Shield. Do you use that
• 46:35
  Speaker 3: QR code? And it'll take you to the link and
• 46:40
  Speaker 3: actually help you guys out. So, you know what I'm saying?
• 46:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I should have seen that sooner. Yeah. So, yeah,
• 46:49
  Speaker 2: that'll take you to their website. It's insurance for being
• 46:52
  Speaker 2: able to defend yourself. In this day and age, self-defense
• 46:57
  Speaker 2: is a big thing. And you should be able to
• 47:00
  Speaker 2: defend yourself with peace of mind. Exactly. If you join this,
• 47:05
  Speaker 2: you get a lawyer for any type of criminal charges
• 47:09
  Speaker 2: that could possibly be filed because some states don't necessarily
• 47:13
  Speaker 2: believe in the right to defend yourself, which is crazy.
• 47:16
  Speaker 3: Yes, we are big on the Second Amendment.
• 47:19
  Speaker 2: But it's not even just the Second Amendment. This is
• 47:22
  Speaker 2: insurance for anything. So if you use your hands and
• 47:25
  Speaker 2: the person assaulting you gets hurt and then tries to
• 47:28
  Speaker 2: sue you, this will cover that. It will cover the
• 47:31
  Speaker 2: criminal attorney. It will cover the civil trial as well.
• 47:37
  Speaker 2: So it will cover both of those. So an attorney
• 47:41
  Speaker 2: like that will probably– your retainer will be between– a
• 47:44
  Speaker 2: decent attorney will be between $ 30, 000 and.
• 47:47
  Speaker 3: $ 50, 000.
• 47:48
  Speaker 2: If you get sued for something like that. So that
• 47:50
  Speaker 2: will cover that. And then the– they also have a
• 47:54
  Speaker 2: scale where you scale up where, um, for 54 90
• 47:59
  Speaker 2: a month, you will also have a million dollars of liability.
• 48:03
  Speaker 2: So if the lawyer settles, you defend yourself and the
• 48:06
  Speaker 2: guy gets hurt. And then, you know, they, they, they,
• 48:10
  Speaker 2: they sue you in civil court for that.
• 48:13
  Speaker 3: Cause that happens in California all the time.
• 48:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah. No, um, if they sue you in civil court
• 48:20
  Speaker 2: for that and say the lawyers managed to come to
• 48:23
  Speaker 2: a settlement of say like, I don't know, a hundred thousand, $ 200, 000,
• 48:27
  Speaker 2: this is going to cover that. So all your equity
• 48:31
  Speaker 2: in your house, everything that you've built on your whole
• 48:33
  Speaker 2: entire life is still safe. And you still, you can
• 48:37
  Speaker 2: have the ability to defend yourself with peace of mind.
• 48:41
  Speaker 2: And that's, that's a great thing. And I totally believe
• 48:44
  Speaker 2: in that. And that's not just guns, it's hands, it's,
• 48:46
  Speaker 2: If you have kids, it covers your kids at school.
• 48:49
  Speaker 4: Yep.
• 48:50
  Speaker 2: Something to think about.
• 48:51
  Speaker 3: Covers cops on the job.
• 48:53
  Speaker 2: Yep, covers cops on the job. So if your child's
• 48:55
  Speaker 2: at school and they get picked on and a kid
• 48:58
  Speaker 2: hits them and they defend themselves, you can make that call. Yes.
• 49:05
  Speaker 2: And your attorney will contact the school. Exactly. Or why
• 49:11
  Speaker 2: are you allowing this child to keep assaulting people and
• 49:14
  Speaker 2: then get away with it type of thing? And so
• 49:16
  Speaker 2: the kids do have a right to defend themselves. So no,
• 49:19
  Speaker 2: my child shouldn't be... suspended or anything else. The other
• 49:21
  Speaker 2: kids should be removed. The rotten apple should have to
• 49:24
  Speaker 2: deal with the consequences of his issues. Not my child
• 49:28
  Speaker 2: that you can't seem to defend. Yep. So it's a,
• 49:33
  Speaker 2: it's a, it's, it's a beautiful thing.
• 49:36
  Speaker 3: So, Oh yeah. So, you know, use that QR code.
