2:54
going on with that? Explain your healing and then and then the process of
2:59
being uh more stealthy. Yeah, it's healthy. Uh well yeah, like
3:06
when you're when you're not allowed to move our you know, walk for four
3:12
to six four to six weeks or whatever, you kind of, you know,
3:15
kind of get a little antsy. So like I love, you know,
3:20
since I've been able to move around and stuff, I've been walking more
3:23
and trying to lose weight. I was four hundred at of Rogue, you
3:27
know, the biggest I've ever been, and and uh now I'm down to
3:30
three forty and you know, sixty pounds and sixty three and a half three
3:35
and a half months. Wow, so you lost about twenty pounds a month.
3:39
Yeah. Wow. And that's because his last video he just pulled was
3:46
a seven ninety five. Yeah, like trying to kilo translate the kilos into
3:52
pounds. It was like seven seven ninety and uh I got a double yeah
4:00
and it dropping sixty pounds and still pulling. Yeah. Yeah. How do
4:03
you feel that's helped your deadlift? Like I can get in a better position
4:09
now Like whenever I was the four hundred, I was a little my hips
4:12
were a little higher, and now I can kind of sit down more into
4:15
it. Like it's taking a little time to get my form back, you
4:19
know, trying to get used to the you know, being at a lighter
4:23
weight. But like I think I can get it, make it come back
4:27
quick like already. One of my competitions coming up this year is that's confirmed
4:34
is the Deadlift Championships, which Giants live and Las Vegs. Yeah, on
4:40

4:54
Yeah, we'll we get another giant burrito. There's another place that does
4:58
a bacon wrap one this time that's gonna be even better. And we also

5:10
we'll go into it like a you know, a little full like the previous
5:14
radio challenge. Well, yeah, very true, but uh, this would
5:18
be great because if we can get me you Nick, and we do the
5:23
hundred Taco Challenge where all of us split is basically split a hundred tacos and
5:28
you got five minutes to eat them. Oh okay, alright, you know
5:32

5:44
Evan too. Yeah, he'll be down here. You know what I'm saying.
5:46
We get a little un let's Evan gets his own team and then we
5:50
go head to head. Yeah, yeah that might be a plan. What
5:57
do you think of that trade? I think we can do that three on
6:00
three? So yeah, okay, yeah that'll work. Yeah, we'll get
6:08
your train justin can eat some food too. Yeah okay, yeah we can
6:15

6:23
forward to just watching the video of this and seeing which one of those bars
6:26
first. It's gonna be good. Let's get a chip stuck in the throat,
6:31
yeah one of us? Yeah, no kidding, Oh, that'll be
6:35
hilarious. So you come back from the Achilles. You just pulled seven to
6:41
ninety for a double. Things are going really good with your training. Your
6:46
first contest back is going to be confirmed as the shot Classic. Is that
6:49
correct? Yes? Brian messing me as if I think I'll be ready,
6:57
he said, like, this is gonna be It's one of the heaviest show
7:00
you know at the of the year, and it's like, you know,
7:03
you think you can handle it, and I told him, yes, I
7:05
know I will be able to handle you know, the competition. And he's
7:10
like, all right, this is your invite and right, so don't know
7:15
if I'll get the invite for the Worlds. If I don't, which it's
7:19
gonna be, it's gonna be upset. You know what. Let me say,
7:23
they're listening to this podcast, so make sure you send Trey his his
7:27
invite there? All right, you know what I'm saying, I'm throwing it
7:29
out there. He's don't think he was fourth last year. There's no reason
7:32
why he shouldn't be going. No reason should but like maybe politics or whatever,
7:39
which shouldn't be in sports. But if I don't, like, that's
7:42
more time to train forward the shaw. Okay, got it, So we
7:51
neat to see you here in Vegas. That's gonna be freaking cool. I
7:55
cannot wait for that. And then I'll see the shot as well, so
7:58
that'd be great of course. You know, So, how do you feel
8:01
the weight losses affect your overhead? Like it's kind of hard to tell because
8:07
I'm still having trouble with the leg drive because the achilles is kind of lagging
8:13
back, Like I definitely feel like like the stability is a little off,
8:20
like I want to kind of link fall forward underneath the weight. But I
8:26
think once mys is like like one hundred nine or whatever, like the leg
8:33
drive will be a lot, a lot smoother because like I still I can
8:39
do some calf raises, but it's still kind of like mentally not wanting to
8:45
be there. I get it. I popped my solace at one time,
8:50
so I get that doing a truck pule of all things. So yeah,
8:54
I get that. Been there, so yeah, it makes you nervous want
8:58
to drive on it again, does Yeah, like it might be nerves like
9:05
just like in the back of the head, but I just feel it's not
9:07
strong yet. Mm hmm, Like I can't. I can't like h pulled
9:11
my body weight on my one one on my right legs just yet, like
9:16
my right half I like half raises, yeah, like my left over the
9:24
of course. Yeah right, I'm still like I'm dealing with like my body
9:30
is shifting to my left side because it's so strong, like just like I
9:33
was. I had that knee scooter that you tried out at the O s
9:37
G. So I was flip. So you had that scooter, your leg
9:46
got a lot stronger. Huh yeah, my left one get you know,
9:48
stronger than my right one since it wasn't being my right one wasn't getting used.
9:52
So like just like right quad and like my right my I left to
10:00
quad and glue are just getting stronger and like a little type just get you
10:05
a little more. Like I'm trying to do like after my lower body days,
10:09
I'll do some Bulgarian split squads just with on my right leg and I'll
10:15
put my my foot on a phone pad, so I have to deal with
10:20
the stability also, mh. So just I'm trying to do little things here
10:24
and there to help strengthen it along with the normal training, right right,
10:31
because you're still training there at your house, right. Yeah, there's a
10:37
there's a gym that's opened up and in town I live by. That's it's
10:43
really good. Just a kind of caters to the the broccoli heads. Yeah
10:48
you know, yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly, you know, but
10:54
it's it's a nice gym. Just get the other patrons. I prefer to
10:58
train by myself or if I'm lucky enough to have a training partner, you
11:03
know that likes to lift heavy and do strong man that knows what to do,
11:11
you know other than that, just you know, going to the that
11:13
commercial gym and it's just walk walking to and fro. You know, like
11:20
I'm trying to do some carries and they just walk, you know, stand
11:22
in front of you. Yeah, just like can you move and it's like
11:28
you just get in my lighting. Yeah, this is gym. Get figured
11:35
exactly when you're stronger than me and man, we'll talk worry about lifting wass
11:41
before you you know, get you know, get a cameraman or whatever.
11:46
God, yeah, hey, that's my job. You got someone that knows
11:52
you know. Yeah, it's it's kind of interesting. I mean some of
11:58
the stuff you see going on and in the gyms and stuff. I mean
12:01
it's it's like, okay, man, I'm putting my work in and you
12:07
need to pay attention to everything that's going on. Or the guys that have
12:11
their headphones on, they got the music turned up so loud they can't hear
12:13
anything going on around them, and it's just like, dude, you got
12:18
to have your head on a swallow in the gym. Because some people are
12:20
lifting heavy stuff. Some people aren't but no matter what, you're gonna get
12:22
hurt if you're not paying attention to what's going on around you. Yeah,
12:26
exactly. If you don't want to talk, put your headphones on and leave
12:30
it them off. They still think it's on up of my headphones on just
12:35
because he the gym doesn't play any good music playing at the Lean Deon.
12:43
Oh that's funny. Well, how's your home gym coming along? Because I
12:46
did see you post picture to me about some equipment. Oh yeah, Like
12:52
so I'm building a bigger home gym. So that little garage yeah, you
12:58
know, that's like forty by thirty feet that's what I've been working out in,
13:03
and it's like half of it is already taken up by you know,
13:07
just random junk and this and that. So I'm building an actual like gym,
13:13
Like this is gonna be dedicated to a gym fifty by seventy feet.
13:18
Nice. Yeah. Middle building is going to have sixteen inch walls, sixteen
13:22
foot walls. Nice. Yeah, and so I'm quite pressing. Yeah,
13:30
I can do stay back closs in doors nice awesome. Yes, I'm looking
13:37
forward to I'm really excited, Like they're gonna be starting the build like I
13:41
got the slab right now, and just the building is going to be started
13:46
on the twenty six of February. And it didn't take like tend to fourteen
13:52
days. The contractor said, you get the slab down, Well, the
13:56
slab is already the building, okay, like ten to fourteen days. It's
14:01
like one of those steel ones, almost like a line. Yes, it's
14:05
just a middle building. Like I'm gonna get some insulation so I don't die
14:07
in the heat of the sex of summer. But yeah, it's got its
14:15
good points and it's bad points because you use training the heat and then when
14:18
you go to someplace hot to compete where everybody's melting and dying, you'll be
14:22
fine. But it's still it's it's nice not to feel you can only do
14:28
win or two events before you have to go in and cool off. Yeah,
14:31
sog, Like I agree, what's that? But like sometimes it just
14:35
gets too bad, too bad, like training for the Shaw last year,
14:39
like I was dying. We had a heat wave and was we had a
14:43
hundred days of one hundred degree plus weather and like I couldn't get you know,
14:50
I do like one one event and get you know, just shot,
14:54
like I'm sweating buckets, just warm enough and just like get a gotta have
15:00
a little bit of help. Yeah, you end up with heatstroke and stuff.
15:03
Yeah, well that's the thing. We train here at the summer.
15:07
We get the same thing here, so we don't have the humidity like you
15:09
do, and uh, it'll just be brutal. You get maybe two three
15:15
events in then you literally have to go either go in the house, turn
15:18
on the fan under the ac and try to cool your body temperature, or
15:22
you just gotta go jump on the pool to lower your core body temperature before
15:28
you end up with heatstroke. It's it's it's real training during the summer.
15:33
Yeah, it's no joke. This takes a different kind of animal to do
15:37
that. It'd be in the middle of the night and it's still over one
15:41
hundred degrees in the garage. Well yeah, Nick's train and I'm like I'm
15:46
sweating here just holding this camera. Yeah, like there was there's no relief.
15:50
You can't train early in the morning or you know, at night and
15:54
it's still stupid hot. M I mean, you can train early in the
15:58
morning and it's not baking hot yet, but by eleven o'clock it's it's it's
16:03
already done. The damage is done at that point. It's it's hot.
16:06
So but I like it which which which is worse early morning where it gets
16:11
hotter and when you're training or you started in the evening where it's already hot
16:17
and it slowly gets a little colder. Well, it doesn't. The problem
16:21
here is the sun goes down. There's so much concrete here, it doesn't
16:25
cool off till midnight. It won't go below one hundred degrees till like midnight
16:30
sometimes, so it stays hot. Even though the sun goes down, it
16:33
stays hot. It will drop from one hundred and ten hundred and fifteen down
16:37
to one hundred, but it'll stay that way. It's orbs of heat and
16:41
you know it stays baking. Yep. So doing it in the morning,
16:48
as it gradually gets hotter, you can feel it getting hotter and it gets
16:52
tougher. But it's the easiest thing to do. But I just don't like
16:55
waking up at six o'clock in the morning you're training first, tell you it's
17:00
you know, it's hard doing that because that's what I've been doing, like
17:03
to help lose weight, is waking up six six thirty to go for some
17:08
walk fasted walks. Nice. I like this new slim tray. I like
17:18
him three three forty slim to coming down from four hundred. But it looks
17:25
good. It's a good look on you, dude. I like it.
17:26
Hey, and you look more athletic. You look like you can move around
17:30
a lot better. Yeah, it was like I can move a little bit.
17:33
Like it's still being I'm still trying to be cautious with the the Achilles,
17:40
like you know, a few weeks ago or whatever, like, uh,
17:44
coach Chad He's he would put some like some like med Leases in,
17:49
you know Sam's Medley's in, And I could do like the fat man jog
17:53
where you just shovele your feet. We're talking about Chad Clay by the way.
17:59
If you don't know, it's check them out the you know, Walshaw's
18:03
man competitor one time. I know he wasn't vited. He's been He's been
18:08
doing a strong Man for twenty plus years now. Yeah. What it makes
18:15
good friends. One of my friends, Yeah, who's two days older than
18:18
me. Yeah, so I could come old man all the time. But
18:26
uh, do you got any volleyball courts anywhere near? Like Sam volleyball courts.
18:32
Yeah, I could go to some sand volleyball courts, go walk in
18:34
the sand. Yeah, that's what you know. Like I live in the
18:40
country, I like go walk in the woods behind my house. Usually there's
18:44
a like there's a hill that I'll just walk down and up like two or
18:47
three times, you know. Yeah, the sand's gonna give a little different
18:52
because it gives as you step off. Yeah, so it'll actually probably help
18:56
your calf, your achilles and stuff quite a bit. And used to pushing
19:00
off in that because you have to drive off your foot in the sand.
19:03
You have to. I've heard that, so yeah, I've probably seen if
19:07
I can give that a shot every once in a while, No, yeah,
19:11
once twice a week or so, just just walking in it, not
19:15
carrying anything heavy, you know, doesn't just go walk in it for just
19:18
walking circles in the like. Yeah right, Yeah. I Like I got
19:25
the barefoot shoes and won my spine and so you can be like barefoot,
19:30
like but it feels like you're being barefoot, but you just got like a
19:34
thin rubber sole. So I like to wear those, Like I have a
19:37
pair of the broom boots. Yeah, I'll take those in the woods nice.
19:42
Yeah, So it keeps my feet dry and you know, dirt free.
19:47
Yeah. And burnt boots are really good too. Many They're comfortable,
19:51
heavy duty and they look good too. And they look nice, yeah,
19:55
really really good. I got tree Players, I got the high tops and
19:57
the low tops, so now I need to get the those boots. But
20:02
I love mine. I'd wear them all the time, love turning them.
20:07
M hm. So yeah, all I wear now, Like, I have
20:11
a couple of other shoes that like what was the the achillies, Like they
20:18
had to cut it open, so I couldn't wear anything that, like,
20:23
wear anything that pushed into the my my heel because it doesn't feel like burning.
20:30
The nerves still was healed, so I couldn't wear like anything tied around
20:36
like that went around my ankle. So I a pair like the slip on
20:40
the shoes they have and that's why I wore for you know, weeks on
20:44
end. Okay, that makes sense. Yeah, man, jeez, it's
20:51
crazy, and it's it's amazing how fast you're coming back from this too,
20:55
by the way, thank you. Well. I mean, most people when
20:57
they get an injury, they don't they don't take their rehab as serious as
21:03
they should, and you're taking it seriously. You're doing what you need to
21:07
be doing every single day, multiple times a day. Everything is since you
21:12
know, everything is set up around getting it back to being healthy. And
21:18
that's what people have to understand. Like when he came back from that so
21:21
fast, I'm like, yeah, but he did the therapy, like every
21:26
single day, he did the right thing. Every single day, he ate
21:30
the right way. Every single day, he's going to create more healing.
21:34
And then walking and moving and stuff like that. Blood in, blood out,
21:38
every single one of those walks increases your circulation. That's going to increase
21:42
the healing. The doctor's when they tell you to sit down and do nothing
21:48
unless it actually like physically needs to heal, like when they're sewing arteries and
21:52
stuff like that back together, or it's a repair that it's going to take
21:57
a couple of weeks for it to solid a fire, like six weeks in
22:00
the boot. But after that, you know, go walking on it.
22:04
Don't do crazy things on it, but get increase the circulation, help the
22:08
heal faster. Yes, you know, like it's a progression with everything you
22:12
know, training and you know recovery. You know, like I had to
22:17
be six weeks. Was out doing anything like like any walking, any weight
22:22
on it. Uh Like I was a little ahead of the curve. Like
22:30
yeah, Well the surgeon he said, like, once you get in the
22:36
boots, you're gonna be gonna need to be in a raised heel and then
22:38
slowly go flat footed. But as soon as I was in the boot,
22:42
I could be I was flat footed. I didn't need to put the heel
22:48
on. Just uh. Yeah. I was doing a little bit of the
22:52
recovery stuff like Chris stuff, and he gave he was helping me out.
22:56
He gave me some protocols to do. He gave me, you know,
23:00
a bunch of peptides to like here's a little of peptize to do, and
23:06
and stuff like that. Yes, you know people one, seven and yeah
23:14
that one too. I mean it was unless like you know, like four
23:18
or five of them. Just like take these up almost every day. Like
23:25
also like a shock wave therapy, like at the shockwave therapy machine off the
23:30
Amazon, a nice cheap, one cheaper one. I would do that every
23:36
other day just to help a release the scar tissue in the you know around
23:41
the injury and those you know in the calf to help it, you know,
23:47
loosen up and help it heal you know, correct way. But it's
23:52
just almost everything, a lot of little stuff that people don't do, you
23:56
know, that does add up. Old boy run Like I try and take
24:03
my recovery guests as seriously as my you know training, because you know,
24:10
for the longest time, I wasn't doing all the stuff that the other guys
24:14
were doing, Like like I just now started, you know, started doing
24:18
that. Okay, So I needed to my recovery to be you know as
24:25
one point as I could. Yeah, that top tier level. Yeah,
24:30
doing cold best, doing stretching, doing mobility and like tough tissue work.
24:36
It all adds up in the long run, and that's what's gonna get you
24:38
back in less than a year. And that's pretty impressive. I keep that
24:42
longevity because I say that's what Nick Nick's doing and looking at him and he's
24:45
still pushing it. You know. Yeah. I love doing it. I
24:52
love the process. I love all this. It's just fun for me.
24:56
So it's gonna be good. I I just I can't wait. I'm looking
25:02
forward to doing a parerloat to Meet this year. Yeah, the parlat to
25:06
Meet. Uh, there's gonna be one here in October for sure. If
25:11
that ends up being the time, then that ends up being the time.
25:14
There's a few more in the in between. I have to get over some
25:18
stuff that's going on the next two months. And once that stuff's over and
25:21
settled and I get settled and moving, then then I'll kind of figure out
25:26
which meat I want to go to. If not, I'll go to the
25:27
one in October, and then I'll just I'll try to make it the twenty
25:32
eighth year. I've squat it over eight hundred and totaled over two thousand.
25:36
Nice, it's gonna be like a fifty six. Well, I won't be
25:44
fifty six till November, so it's it's coming up, but still get a
25:49
little ways away. Yeah, So it's yeah, it's it's getting up there.
25:55
It's weird, is I age? It's just basically for me, it's
26:00
like mobility and joint inflammation. The quicker I can get that inflammation out,
26:07
the better it feels that I can get moving around more and muscle wise,
26:14
I think my training is my training. I can be just as strong as
26:17
I ever was. It's just dealing with the inflammation and the pain and the
26:21
joints. So the more I can get that sorted out, or the better
26:26
I'm gonna do. Is it just icepass or are some other things that you've
26:32
done. I know you since you that kidney's searcher, you have to take
26:37
as much supplements, right, so you have to be careful to not overtrain
26:41
as much. I've had to cut some of the volume down because I don't
26:45
want to go rab though, so because your kidneys to I have one kid
26:51
ney to filter off the breaking down of all the muscle tissue instead of two,
26:55
which it can handle it. But it's still we have the ability,
27:00
when we've done strong Man for so long to push ourselves into that area that's
27:03
way out there that most people can't get to, and I have to be
27:10
careful with that. I have to cut from two or three sets down to
27:12
one. I can still go super heavy, I can still get after it,
27:17
but it's it's one set where I do like two or three sets,
27:21
you know of three with like some fifty eight hundred pounds on a squad.
27:25
Now it's one set of three or one set of one done and move on
27:29
to the next, you know, the next exercise where I would go to
27:33
eight or nine different exercises. I now have to limit to five or six.
27:37
But that's okay, that's okay. I can still do it. I
27:41
just had to learn how fast my body will filter everything out without causing damage
27:45
to the kidney again. Yeah. So yeah, that's like when I was
27:51
coming recovering from my kilees, I was telling Chad to quite holding back,
27:56
you know, as I was getting healthier and stuff, just like quit push
28:00
pussy putting the workouts for me, all right, because at the beginning,
28:04
when I started working out at the commercial gym doing the the good Girl Bad
28:08
Girls, Right, I think we can do some squats now, right,
28:17
that's good, that's good. Yeah, because yeah, because that's going to
28:21
be There's not a whole lot you can do that won't put pressure on that.
28:23
So yeah, but that's that's just like living events are moving vents,
28:30
and I would say, like overhead prints and with late drives is the only
28:33
thing that gives it, you know. Yeah, like a last week when
28:44
I was doing a overhead present ax the rack, Yeah, as it started
28:48
to get heavier, I would shift to my left side just trying to take
28:53
weight off of it. Yeah, just a take weight off of it.
28:57
Subconsciously. I didn't want. I want to do it, but that's just
29:02
how my body's working at the moment. What you're gonna have to as it
29:06
gets stronger, you have to reprogram all that what you care you will because
29:11
you're already aware of it, which is going to solve most your issues over
29:14
time. Anyway. It's it's the people that do that that aren't aware that
29:18
they're overloading one side to the other or don't pay attention to their body as
29:22
they're doing that, that it runs into the issues. Yeah, which is
29:27
the truth. I say. When I had my leg problem, that's what
29:30
ended up happening too, where it's like a like I couldn't walked for a
29:33
month, and then after I started walking and start moving, and then like
29:37
even trying to get back into just being mobile, like everything's oh, I
29:42
can't, Like you just don't want to put any pressure on it because it's
29:47
just and it's not you. It's not that it's painful, it's not that
29:49
there's a problem, but it's just like your body's just like so thrown at
29:53
a whack. H m hmm. Yeah, So I I had to go.
30:00
I developed a muscle and balance from having the surgery in my abdomen.
30:07
So I was twisting when I was deadlifting off the ground and stuff like that.
30:11
And I had gotten back up to nearly seven hundred pounds, but I
30:15
was twisting and it kind of streamed my back a little bit, and I'm
30:18
like, I got to restart over. And I had to restart over with
30:19
the squats too, because I was a lot sided and stuff like that.
30:23
And now it's I've kind of straightened most of that out. I'm pulling straight
30:26
now, so now I just got to get used to pulling heavy again.
30:30
It's gonna take a little while, that's okay. Yeah, Like I had
30:33
a you know, in my early amateur career, I had back injuries and
30:37
you know, on dead lifts and swats, I just had to start from
30:41
a plate, you know, just every week, add a little bit of
30:45
weight and just going up and up and down, up and down, retraining,
30:49
make sure that you know, left the back heel and make sure I'm
30:53
doing the correctly. Yep. Yeah, No, it's good stuff, man,
30:57
it really is. It's it's I'm just glad you're on the men and
31:02
things are coming back. I can't wait to see you compete at the shot
31:04
that's gonna be fun and hopefully get an invite to the Worlds. I can
31:07
see you before that. Yeah, that'd be good. Yeah, that would
31:11
be great. It really would Like the events for Brian's competition he put out
31:18
this weekend. I'm liking they're gonna be fun events and you know, really
31:22
good uh tests, Well, go through, tell me what you think about
31:26
him. Well, we got the max deadlift from the ground. It's a
31:30
caliber Dela bar cal braided plates and it's gonna he was he made a big
31:36
game on no gear, just uh deliver straps in in the belt, just
31:42
like, yeah, that's strong man in my opinion. Correct. Yeah,
31:48
what's uch? After that, we got overhead Medley was he said, axel
31:52
and uh axel and a log and yeah, that's gonna be fun to two
31:57
of those. I'm they're gonna be heavy. Yeah, the high three load
32:06
and move forward. I guess no one. There's also one of the events
32:15
is there is a KEG calls for high I'm kind of looking forward to that
32:22
one too, because and he made his previous world records at the twenty twenty
32:28
one Uh work like it was in the finals and like I didn't perform as
32:35
good as I hoped I did, you know, kind of just screwed up
32:39
a little bit. The the keg didn't go over the bar but passed it
32:45
on like one of the like one of the early attempts. But like if
32:50
I made that, I would have I think I would have had better points
32:53
to actually get the third place and step fourth that year. But yeah,
33:00
I'm looking forward to that one. It's gonna be fun. Kick's always an
33:06
exciting event. Muh. He also has a Max at lis Stone. You
33:09
know, he didn't say max, but it's gonna be like a heavy at
33:14
list Stone and you can't choose which weight you want, so I bold him.
33:20
Yeah, what's the hype find? You know he didn't say, like,
33:24
I only got the information from the YouTube video that the channel, So
33:31
if you haven't seen it, folks, go watch it. Okay, it's
33:35
nice. You get all the shaw strength brash. Uh. He has a
33:44
dumb ball medley that's a gonna be cool. You know, I got a
33:49
couple of dumbbells. I got one dumb bell from Josh you remember him when
33:54
he hired and bought a bunch of equipment from him. And he has a
33:59
it's a is the giants live like, uh, what's uh style is the
34:05
concrete globes with the middle cage around them? About that the two hundred pounds
34:12
and I'm looking for I haven't got to use it yet, so I think
34:15
I'll throw that into the training for that company. And you're pretty good that.
34:22
You're pretty good at dumbel, so I think you'd be all right,
34:24
Yeah, a lot of practice. I wasn't that good at you know,
34:28
my amateur career. But now that I have like equipment to train on,
34:34
yeah, it's the difference. All right, what else, let's see he
34:43
he's bringing back the medley from last year, the Last of Death the finger
34:47
from finger into that was a great event. Yeah, yeah, I think
34:55
I think that fingle Fingers is going to revolutionize fingle fingers. Yeah. The
35:00
setup you know where it goes into where it stands up. Huh. I
35:06
think if he fixed it from last year, like I think, I know
35:09
he'll he'll do to fix it, it'll it'll be fixed. And right knowing
35:14
Brian there there, they they now know what wasn't quite perfect, it'll be
35:20
fixed and it will be perfect because the setup for that is so much faster.
35:27
No more for clifts, nowhere flipping the thing back over. It's just
35:31
okay, push it back over because down it's set. It's ready to go,
35:37
freaking awesome re quick setup. It was a good idea, just like
35:43
probably wasn't it, like Brian told me and Kevin, Like just like a
35:46
bunch of stuff just happened, like with the equipment making that then was out
35:52
of his control that he couldn't. Uh you know that they had last minute
35:57
to fix and everything. Yeah, well I mean still they they were under
36:01
a lot of pressure, uh to get everything done in time, and they
36:07
did, but little things but it still worked really well. So yes,
36:13
that it'll be flawless. Yeah yeah, now that knows what what broke or
36:17
whatever. You know, those haffixated to make it better for next year this
36:22
year. Yeah, so what else? Let's see. He was very vague
36:29
in this event is like he called he called it the Power of Medley.
36:32
Is supposed to be a grip moving event, that's all he said in the
36:37
video. But just got to work on my grip. I am working a
36:44
lot on my grip to it, you know, doing the extra stuff.
36:47
And I think that the time off did get some good. Like yesterday,
36:54
yesterday after some dead lips I did farmers walked worked worked up to three forty
37:00
for forty five feet. It's not too bad, not bad, not too
37:05
bad, you know, coming off, you know, not caring anything,
37:07
right, It's a good start. The heavy as yolk walking I've done yet
37:13
it is a little like over six hundred, like six poin fifty I think.
37:19
Yeah, but it's gonna be a little lobby before you can drive with
37:21
those, So it's okay. So just going walking with them is good.
37:25
You still get to build the corstability. Yeah, that's the that's the goal
37:30
right now. It's just getting used to having some weight, you know,
37:34
not trying to run with it, move quickly perfect. Yeah, let's see,
37:40
I'm trying to think of all the events. Yeah, he has so
37:45
many, he has eight events and yeah, I was trying to look it
37:47
up. But even in the video, does he do in the arm over
37:53
arm He didn't say, like in the past, is that power met has
38:00
been either samdbag will barrow our frame into the arm over arm pool that I
38:09
think he's thinking of getting a rid of it. Like this is all speculation,
38:14
you know, since he's so like he's so secret. Yeah, he
38:21
likes to keep it a surprise for everyone. But it's not the arm over
38:27
arm pool like, since he's getting rid of the sand bag toss and replacing
38:31
that with the macim type keg toss and the different, different backdrop in instead
38:38
of that uh yeah, that big he had. Okay, uh yeah,
38:46
it's gonna be fun. I can't wait to see it. It's gonna be
38:51
a blast. I'm really excited. I'm going through the video trying to see
38:55
if I can see what he says on the on there about the other event
39:02
and then here for the Giants Live. That's gonna be really freaking cool too.
39:07
That's gonna be cool. But what is it? Is the Deadlift World
39:13
Championships. Yeah, yeah, yes, so this is gonna be that's my
39:19
first. I think I was invited last year, but it was it was
39:25
after the show last year. I was just so wrecked, Like guys,
39:30
I had to turn it down. I couldn't have done a good show for
39:32
you. So yeah, so I had to pull out that one just because
39:37
it last year. Shall Now here's a question because you know they're going to
39:43
allow deadlift suits and all the crazy stuff for that one, because they're gonna
39:49
try to break five oh five on the kilos, I know, but they're
39:52
still gonna try to break it. So they're gonna allow suits and stuff.
39:55
How are you going to go from the shah h training in no suit and
40:00
pulling from the floor to what is it about four or five weeks difference and
40:07
pulling out the World Deadlife Championships. Oh, I don't believe in what I
40:14
believes in suits and strong man, Well off your shirt. Last year,
40:22
everyone else in the deadlift was at the World's at Worlds for more suit.
40:28
I ripped, you know, ripped my shirt off. Yeah that was cool.
40:34
Yeah, I liked it. I thought it was cool. Thank you.
40:40
But uh, I don't think for four to five weeks would be enough
40:45
to train in a you know, in a suit to make you more fit
40:50
persistent in it. But uh yeah I might. I might throw on some
40:59
briefs. That's what I was gonna say. You'd probably be better off just
41:01
pop on some briefs and then because it won't change your technique as much.
41:06
It'll change the way you pull into the bar a little bit, but it
41:08
won't put so much pressure on your on your upper body and bend you over
41:15
more. And it takes a bit to get used to just the bottoms,
41:19
though, I think you'd be I think you'd be okay pulling on that for
41:22
probably get in that amount of time, you probably get two good dead list
41:27
sessions in we can really go heavy and maybe two light ones, and we
41:30
can put it on and just get used to moving it where you could probably
41:36
get after it pretty good. Yeah, you know, yeah, as all
41:42
as they would will probably be just you know, be the main goal the
41:45
strongest Man on Earth. Yeah, of course it ye main goal. But
41:51
he's opening up the competition with the Max Stead Live. So it's basically you
41:55
know, train for that, you know, is the main goal, and
41:59
just you know practice. Was the briefs for the for the Giants Live World
42:07
World Deadly see how Yeah see how it does. But yeah, not much
42:15
would change, you know, maybe added a few more pounds, was the
42:19
was there? Probably like thirty or forty pretty comfortably? Yeah, makes sense?
42:25
Well right on, I like it. That's that's my year. Yeah,
42:32
what else you got going on? You're building a building, building a
42:37
gym, a home gym, gonna rivals. Yeah, I don't think I'll
42:45
get as much stuff as him. Yeah, yeah, just like some just
42:49
the essentials, but like like, okay, so Monday I picked up a
42:55
power runner in a Nordic Lakes you know s all that get the yeah.
43:01
And then and uh, Saturday I picked up like it was last minute,
43:09
so like I picked up a free motion dual cable machine and like he posted
43:15
it. The guy posted it at Thursday and just like gave it a few
43:19
minutes of thought and it's like, all right, I'm not letting this pass
43:22
up and smart that's just you know. And but uh that I bought a
43:30
before that, I had a week, I told him, like the previous
43:34
week I like kind of pick it up. The next Saturday was a power
43:38
lift leg press, you know, and just like the guy says it's like
43:44
the best leg press in the world, and like I gave it a little
43:46
go before we broke it down to get it out his door. Like there's
43:52
eleven hundred pound machine. Wow, and like this is the you know,
44:00
yeah, Saturday was the you know, two days after Brian announced the events
44:05
for the it's like no leg press. It's like, well, well next
44:12
time, Oh my gosh, that's funny. There's no car car Lake Press
44:19
this year. And you put the chess press there's bench. No, there's
44:24
no chess press either. The well, I think I heard him mention that
44:29
there was in the video. I was reading the transcript. It says a
44:31
new squatting device. Oh, yes, yes, squats. Yeah we're doing
44:37
squats really yeah, I like squats. So he says a brand new like
44:45
you know, so I'm assuming some kind of mechanical monstrosity for squats, So
44:50
like definitely gonna be watching out to see what that might look like. Yeah,
44:58
I'm gonna see like the keg loading device style for the squads. That
45:02
would be amazing. What if he just did the car squat just like,
45:08
well we did that in a Yeah, I think the keg loading thing would
45:15
be the bomb. I really do that would that would be pretty badass the
45:20
way it's going. But he'll figure out something, because he's he comes up
45:22
with something all the time. But there's so many neat things rattle around in
45:27
his head that when he turns the new events, it's just amazing. It
45:31
really is. So it's it's kind of like, yeah, you just wait
45:37
to see what he comes up with next, and then the cool part is
45:40
I'll get to go test it. Hopefully it always comes with something new that's
45:47
is fun for the audience and the competitors try out exactly. I mean,
45:52
it's still a spectacle sport. It's still you go to see things that are
45:58
just you, You're not just not going to see every day. And a
46:01
lot of the events he's coming up with are events that are like that.
46:06
So it's it's really cool. I like it. I like what was thinking
46:09
behind a lot of these things. It's absolutely amazing. So all right,
46:15
well cool man, all right, you'd like where can people find you besides
