  Speaker 3: within the muscle, and that's.
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: All the matters during each summer.
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: So basically, you've got to train and condition yourself to
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: do heavyweights for a lot of reps.
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: It takes time, it takes years, it takes a career.
• 3:20
  Speaker 4: Come on, exerience one more three B.
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: This is body doing.
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: When you get to the point when you got five
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: more reps, you get five more reps, but.
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: Then you got five more.
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: By some act of God, and you're praying.
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: To God that you have to get five more reps.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: You'll do when you will. Whenever you got five more reps,
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: usually you have ten. You can't just say all, okay,
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: I have five more reps. It has to be five
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: more reps.
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: It has to be everything within you has to be
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: able to go to the table, go to the bar,
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: go to the rack, go to the exercise you're doing,
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: and demand and insistent, and you have to become the muscle.
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: You're the addict, You're the muscle. Life as you know
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: it doesn't really not exist anymore. All you are is
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: a muscle.
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: There was a tension. You're the muscle you're thinking about.
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: You become that muscle, and all the matters and all
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: that you care about in the world is tension. And
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: going after each and every single rep, in executing each
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: and every single rep, and getting more when you say
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: you can't. You're getting five more reps when you're dying,
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: and even getting five more reps when you think you're done.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: Then until you achieve failure, they fall in the rack,
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: do some half ones.
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: You can't hang onto the bar anymore, and somehow you do,
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: but it falls to the ground, and that's usually.
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: An indication that the set might be over.
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: This is what you have to give it. You have
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: to give it this much. Otherwise, why are you doing
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: this my first place? You're not going to give results.
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: You have to demand it. You have to promise yourself.
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: This is it right here.
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: You have to promise yourself that you will not ever
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: be a failure.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: You have to marry this thought pattern.
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: So when you get to the gym, I don't care
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: if you're on your deathbed and you're dying and it
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: hurts anything. You have to promise yourself before you get
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: there that you are not going to go home a loser.
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: I would rather die than acknowledge to myself that I'm
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: that loser. There is nothing that I won't do. There's
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: nothing that I want to do to avoid being a loser.
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: And if you think you could have done.
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: More than you're a loser.
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: You have to self make a promise to yourself. Then
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: you will never ever go there or do that, and
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: you will fight to the death to maintain your promise
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: to yourself. If you don't think you can do this, don't.
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: I'm me, I'm not nobody else. I just do what
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: I do. Claim owners I own this place. Nobody's gonna
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: tell me when to go or when to stop with me.
• 6:33
  Speaker 4: In fact, I'm gonna go further than I ever went before.
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: You can, and you must, and you will and you should,
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: and I can see it in everybody. If you really
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: seriously you believe that this energy works, it does. If
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: you believe it doesn't work, it doesn't. Whether you're training
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: for a contest, whether you're training to get big, whether
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: you're investing money, whether you're courting a new romance, your whatever,
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: it's energy that that feeling has to be there.
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: I mean, you have to believe it's with you. You
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: have to just sort of grab on to what you believe.
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: In, and grab on to what you know and who
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: you are, and and and to.
