• 1:44
  Speaker 2: came back and did Worlds and you've been competing at
• 1:46

• 1:49
  Speaker 2: you get over that recovery so fast? And in how's
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: that effected your training getting ready for the Arnold Because
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: I know the frame care you're going to have to
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: go up up the ramp and stuff. So how's that
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: affected as well?
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah, So toward the achilles at the twenty three Rogue
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: Invitational and like fully fully detached. So after after I
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: got released to do recovery, I was basically.
• 2:13
  Speaker 5: Doing anything and everything I could think of, like chocolate, therapy,
• 2:17
  Speaker 5: ultrasounds and the like, you know, being got to do
• 2:21
  Speaker 5: be more active.
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: You know, was on my feet a lot more.
• 2:24
  Speaker 5: You know, when you're laid up in bed for weeks
• 2:27
  Speaker 5: on end, you kind of get antsy, so started doing
• 2:31
  Speaker 5: a little a little more of walking forward recovery and
• 2:33
  Speaker 5: weight loss.
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: And little scootering. Yeah, had the little scooter.
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah, a little scooter.
• 2:40
  Speaker 5: You try to almost busted your face on it a
• 2:42
  Speaker 5: couple that was that was that was experience.
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: I busted my face a couple of times on that.
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: And then I'm sure Chad had a had a few
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: words of advice in some directions.
• 2:55
  Speaker 4: Well, well, I will say this. I mean he was,
• 2:58
  Speaker 4: you know, really get a hell of a job, because
• 3:00
  Speaker 4: they send him up to see sewn Rocket up in Boston,
• 3:02
  Speaker 4: and Shawn's a hell of a surgeon and did a
• 3:06
  Speaker 4: great job of the surgery. And when it actually happened,
• 3:09
  Speaker 4: I wasn't able to be at the roague. I was
• 3:11
  Speaker 4: actually at the prese he speech with something, but I
• 3:13
  Speaker 4: was sitting with Chris duffrom what happened. So Chris is like, dude,
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: don't worry. I've got this protocol of peptides and nutrients
• 3:21
  Speaker 4: and everything to do to re heal it. And he
• 3:23
  Speaker 4: showed me a guy. He goes this guy towards bilateral
• 3:26
  Speaker 4: potilitaire and then twenty four weeks later, squad and is
• 3:29
  Speaker 4: a lifetime pr heues, don't worry, We'll have trade back
• 3:31
  Speaker 4: in six months. I'm like, man, that's crazy. No, there's
• 3:34
  Speaker 4: no I could think as there's no way. And then
• 3:36
  Speaker 4: you know, really Tray just followed the protocol, followed the training.
• 3:40
  Speaker 4: You know, he cut the weight because he didn't need
• 3:42
  Speaker 4: to be that heavy, so that got his weight down.
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: I mean, Nathan Payton helped him with his nutrition, and
• 3:48
  Speaker 4: then you know, going to Worlds, I think the biggest
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: trepidation of the world's like, you know, I'm looking like, okay,
• 3:53
  Speaker 4: this is too soon.
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: I mean, I'm a.
• 3:55
  Speaker 4: Coach, but I'm also you know, I think I go
• 3:58
  Speaker 4: with the dad mode a little bit soorried about him
• 4:00
  Speaker 4: getting hurt.
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: Well, you care about your athlete, That's that's a big deal.
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: You worry about things like that when you care about that.
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: It was only a six months post surgery, six.
• 4:11
  Speaker 4: Months post surgery, and we we went with the plan,
• 4:13
  Speaker 4: like make it to the stone Off and we're fine.
• 4:15
  Speaker 4: It doesn't don't give a ship. Who's in the stone
• 4:17
  Speaker 4: Off traise kicking the ass. That's what my thought was,
• 4:20
  Speaker 4: make the stone Off. Didn't quite make it, but you know,
• 4:22
  Speaker 4: walked out of the show very confident. Knowing that his
• 4:25
  Speaker 4: achilles was fine, and then we were just able to
• 4:27
  Speaker 4: go back to training and get back to work and
• 4:30
  Speaker 4: then focus on uh, you know, going to the Strongest
• 4:33
  Speaker 4: Man on Earth. M that.
• 4:37
  Speaker 5: Just to be as a hundred percent as it could
• 4:39
  Speaker 5: for that show. Didn't do any of the smaller ones
• 4:42
  Speaker 5: in between.
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and then you set a world record the.
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: Following competition at the Giants Las Vegas.
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 4:50
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it was kind of funny me. You know, Brian
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: text me goes, where was that power at the strongest
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: mount on Earth?
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: I go, I think.
• 4:57
  Speaker 4: We were just trying to come back. I mean, I
• 4:59
  Speaker 4: think the strongest amount of Earth was, you.
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: Know, just like it maybe you know. I was like yeah.
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: But then that poll, which I think is what's funny,
• 5:08
  Speaker 4: is because we talked about this earlier. It's like, I'm
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: watching that poll. My wife has just gone to bed,
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: and I'm down here streaming at the freaking TV to
• 5:16
  Speaker 4: get it up, and she comes right downstairs. What's wrong,
• 5:18
  Speaker 4: what's going on? What's okay? I'm like, yeah, Trey just
• 5:21
  Speaker 4: pulled four seventies. She goes, big freaking deal, looks four
• 5:24
  Speaker 4: seven ago and kilos. She goes, what is that?
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: I go ten.
• 5:27
  Speaker 4: No, that's a big deal, like you. Yeah, so that's
• 5:32
  Speaker 4: how it goes.
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: That's pretty amazing. That's really really cool stuff. Yeah, yeah,
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: that's it's gonna be pretty I'm looking forward to the
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: Arnold and what you're gonna do there. So, uh, one,
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: we can tell your prep for the arms going pretty good.
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: This year is going pretty well.
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, No, which is which is awesome. I mean, I
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: don't think you're gonna overtrain or I think you're just
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: gonna go in and just go have fun and just
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: kill it. But let's go through the events on day
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: one and day two. So what's the first event walking
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: into that.
• 6:12
  Speaker 5: The first event is gonna be the max Elfin Bar
• 6:14
  Speaker 5: Dead Live with kind of the State before the Arnold Classic, Right,
• 6:19
  Speaker 5: I'm looking to pull some big numbers, like like basically,
• 6:22
  Speaker 5: you know, going off of the Giants Live Las Vegas,
• 6:25
  Speaker 5: Like I think I can hit some pretty good, pretty
• 6:27
  Speaker 5: good numbers. I'm not like thinking maybe over four seventy kilos,
• 6:32
  Speaker 5: like I think that's possible for me. Like it's going
• 6:35
  Speaker 5: only going to be the second time I ever pulled
• 6:37
  Speaker 5: on the Elephant bar, but like just learning going off
• 6:41
  Speaker 5: of the videos of others athletes.
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: And you know, based off my own experience, I.
• 6:45
  Speaker 5: Think, yeah, the easy pull, you know, slowly pull into it,
• 6:49
  Speaker 5: then just when I get all most of those slack
• 6:51
  Speaker 5: out and then fire into it.
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: Yep mm hmm. I mean it's that's what you're gonna
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: have to do that bar. It's a long, steady pull
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: till you get all the weight off. And then soon
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: as you got the weight off, then you can start
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: putting the screws to the bar. And even then you
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: still can't go full blast on it because then the
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: bar's going to oscillate at the top and it gets
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: super hard to lock out. So you've got to kind
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: of pull along and smooth with that for the most part.
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: But you can put core will definitely help. Was that
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: oscillation at the top?
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, no, absolutely.
• 7:25
  Speaker 5: You saw my training when I went to train with you,
• 7:28
  Speaker 5: you know in Las Vegas before a power slap, like
• 7:30
  Speaker 5: do a lot of a lot of core exercise.
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: It's super seded, was my you know training.
• 7:35
  Speaker 4: There's thing lots of core, lots of condition. Yep, it's
• 7:39
  Speaker 4: a core lots of condition. Because I will say this,
• 7:41
  Speaker 4: I mean if one of my athletes got beat on conditions,
• 7:44
  Speaker 4: because I didn't do my job, and I laughed because
• 7:48
  Speaker 4: we were at Worlds and I'm on the sidelines and
• 7:50
  Speaker 4: he finishes the stand back people chase. He goes, no,
• 7:52
  Speaker 4: I know I did all those echo bikes, man, because
• 7:55
  Speaker 4: it wasn't breathing hard, so it was awesome. It's going
• 7:58
  Speaker 4: to be exciting to see.
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: Right, and the new slimmer version then waste. It is
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: not slimmer anywhere else, just the wist.
• 8:07
  Speaker 4: I like to look.
• 8:08
  Speaker 5: I did a DEXI scan the other night and I was,
• 8:11
  Speaker 5: what was it, nineteen fat at three eighty.
• 8:15
  Speaker 4: He's three idiot ninety percent of my fan I think
• 8:17
  Speaker 4: the crazy thing we're we're doing some some some auxiliary
• 8:20
  Speaker 4: work for the push press. Hold on.
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: People don't understand you s don't get that. You're three
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: hundred and eighty pounds at nineteen percent, so you're basically
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: lean body mash. You're like three hundred and twenty pounds.
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: If you were to lose all your body fat, you'd
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: weigh three hundred and twenty pounds. Freaking nuts.
• 8:42
  Speaker 4: It's that amount almost huh che quite large. But it's
• 8:48
  Speaker 4: just like you're just kind of laughing because you know,
• 8:52
  Speaker 4: three eighty at nineteen percent. That's pretty lean. That What
• 8:56
  Speaker 4: I was saying is he was doing his work and
• 8:58
  Speaker 4: I'm videoing the shot and you can he's wearing an
• 9:01
  Speaker 4: orange shirt. You can see his six pack through the
• 9:04
  Speaker 4: shirt because it's pulled tight in his belts on, which
• 9:07
  Speaker 4: that's kind of gnarly, dude.
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: Really, Yeah, that's that's that's studley.
• 9:12
  Speaker 4: That's the I can't wait till we're just diving down
• 9:16
  Speaker 4: to He's like about three forty five full shred at
• 9:18
  Speaker 4: six packs. That looks pretty hard. That's that's that's that's
• 9:22
  Speaker 4: post strong man.
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: So you're gonna do bodybuilding after this tray if I
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: could stick to the diet. Okay, So that's out. No cheese, Yeah, yeah, no,
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: it's yeah. I'm looking. I'm excited to see what goes
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: on the shire. So you got the elephant bar deadlift,
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: what's next.
• 9:44
  Speaker 4: It's the press medley. So it's a like roughly two
• 9:49
  Speaker 4: sixty five to two seventy stone, a two thirty sirt stumbbell,
• 9:54
  Speaker 4: and then you've got choices between your your logs. I
• 9:56
  Speaker 4: think it's a three eighty log and a four to
• 9:58
  Speaker 4: twenty log. So yeah, we're not going to mess three
• 10:00
  Speaker 4: eight level going for Yeah, I mean the final event
• 10:06
  Speaker 4: on day one is the frame carry. We look at
• 10:09
  Speaker 4: that as a nemesis.
• 10:12
  Speaker 5: So grip is getting better, but like it's still you know,
• 10:15
  Speaker 5: it needs to needs to get to a higher level.
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 10:18
  Speaker 4: The thing is like you know, with the injury he
• 10:20
  Speaker 4: had within his neck, and it's like just that downward pull,
• 10:22
  Speaker 4: it just opens his hand up. If we had a
• 10:24
  Speaker 4: Hercules hold, I'd be totally fine. Sure, wrecking ball hole,
• 10:28
  Speaker 4: totally fine. You know this, We're working on it. He's
• 10:31
  Speaker 4: been training the crap out of it.
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 10:33
  Speaker 4: You know how it goes with grip though you you
• 10:35
  Speaker 4: push it a little too hard. Now it's overtrained. So
• 10:37
  Speaker 4: it's just that fine line and you know we're gonna
• 10:40
  Speaker 4: we're gonna work out hard this weekend. We got a
• 10:42
  Speaker 4: lot of good grip guys. Hit a big frame this weekend. Obviously,
• 10:45
  Speaker 4: we don't have a ramp to walk up. And like
• 10:49
  Speaker 4: you said, I think you had mentioned that, it's like,
• 10:50
  Speaker 4: you know, from a walking up the hill standpoint, I
• 10:54
  Speaker 4: worry about the Achilles, right, you know at this point though,
• 10:58
  Speaker 4: I mean, if he picks it up when it takes
• 10:59
  Speaker 4: one step, that's one more point than we did last time.
• 11:02
  Speaker 4: That's a pr and okay.
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you can also.
• 11:08
  Speaker 4: Go ahead, go ahead as all contests, you know, Nick,
• 11:11
  Speaker 4: it's about looking at the events, mitigating damage, and maximizing
• 11:17
  Speaker 4: your success. Yeah, your top five if you average the
• 11:21
  Speaker 4: top five every event you're on the putting the average
• 11:23
  Speaker 4: the top three, or you want no for sure, you
• 11:25
  Speaker 4: know what we got to get done.
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: Mhm. One thing you could also just I mean, there's
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: so many grocery stores around you could just throw the
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: frame in the back of a truck and head to
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: a grocery store if you want to get used to that,
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: because the bay of the grocery store is the same
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: angle as the ram so I mean, if you want to.
• 11:48
  Speaker 4: Unfortunately, we are in Detroit and there's like an inch
• 11:51
  Speaker 4: and an inch of ice out there, so I think
• 11:52
  Speaker 4: that's slightly prohibitive.
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's not gonna be Goody.
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: You know, take a step in his lodge.
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean that would be bad.
• 12:04
  Speaker 4: I mean, we don't have it's time Vegas like you,
• 12:06
  Speaker 4: and it gets cold. It's like forty degrees.
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, it's uh, it's it's nice. It's about sixty
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: eight to day.
• 12:13
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, thanks, it's it's like twenty two here in snow.
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: Oh well it's simple move.
• 12:20
  Speaker 4: Well praise in Texas. So he's good. I'm in so
• 12:24
  Speaker 4: it is.
• 12:26
  Speaker 3: To visit me.
• 12:27
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I got to visit him next. Yeah, but mom's
• 12:32
  Speaker 4: gonna put some gravy on my taters.
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: That's it, okay, Yeah, yeah, that's that's a that's why
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: you're getting weight.
• 12:40
  Speaker 4: Day day Well, when he comes here, he gains weight
• 12:43
  Speaker 4: because I make him eat all his like he came downstairs.
• 12:46
  Speaker 4: He's like, comes walking downstairs. I just put the protein
• 12:48
  Speaker 4: shake on the counter and there's the fruit.
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah. You do that to me too, So that's okay
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: you to everybody I do that's a good coach almost.
• 12:58
  Speaker 4: H But that'll end day one, day two behind the
• 13:03
  Speaker 4: big jerk. H. So that's uh, that's gonna be interesting.
• 13:08
  Speaker 4: What do you what are you saying? What do you think?
• 13:10
  Speaker 4: What do you think is the number to beat? I'm
• 13:13
  Speaker 4: gonna be honest, five seventy five, six hundred pounds. That's
• 13:17
  Speaker 4: kind of what I was thinking.
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: Because I'm seeing some of these guys already throwing, like
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: you know, throwing five fifty and doing reps with five hundred.
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: I mean, Trey's doing reps with five hundred, So it's
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: it's gonna be. It's it's gonna be. We're gonna see
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: like a new world record over what they did at
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: World Strongest Man a few years back, where they did
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: like five forty five or no, did like five forty It's.
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: Gonna get broken several times.
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they'll probably get booked by three four people, maybe
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: maybe even five. So I'm expecting somewhere in there. I
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: remember seeing ku Kliev do is six hundred that way
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: back in the day. Yes, so, I mean I think
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: it's possible. I think it's very possible. I think a
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: couple other guys can get right up there.
• 14:06
  Speaker 4: Just looking at the training and Hattan comes from an
• 14:09
  Speaker 4: Olympic lifting background. His fled jerk is pretty solid. You
• 14:13
  Speaker 4: know who was working his and it looks good. You know,
• 14:16
  Speaker 4: just gonna be who has it that day and it's
• 14:18
  Speaker 4: the first event, day two. How much he is that
• 14:20
  Speaker 4: from the first day, right? How much are your legs
• 14:24
  Speaker 4: that from the first day, like you said, I think
• 14:26
  Speaker 4: they'll be. I think five to fifty is going to
• 14:28
  Speaker 4: go down. I think there's four or five guys that
• 14:30
  Speaker 4: have the capacity to do that. But again we'll just see.
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and like I said, I think somewhere between seventy
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: five and six hundred. If guys are firing off to
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: where they're hitting the five fifty, I think you're gonna
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: see it get up in the range, depending on do
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: you know how they're going to make you do the attempts.
• 14:50
  Speaker 5: We're getting four tips trying to jacky to keep it fast,
• 14:54
  Speaker 5: since that all the other events are going to be
• 14:56
  Speaker 5: like two minutes long as they're trying to do the
• 14:58
  Speaker 5: split jerk.
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: Right right, I got you, So yeah, with four attempts,
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: we could see that it's gonna kind of depend who
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: hits what on their third attempts and where they go
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: from there. You know, if guy's gonna all try to
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: be right in that same spot or they're you're gonna
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: have somebody just goes now, I'm just gonna put this
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: out of reach right away. So it's gonna be an
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: interesting strategy to see however he.
• 15:27
  Speaker 4: Gets through it.
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: It really is. It'll be fun. I think somebody comes
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: in and drops the hammer early on the second or
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: third attempt and really just goes for it when they're
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: still got a bunch of power.
• 15:40
  Speaker 4: It could be you know, we're looking at the rule
• 15:43
  Speaker 4: translated the rules right now, I don't know if it's
• 15:45
  Speaker 4: a rising bar. So it's a rising bar and you
• 15:46
  Speaker 4: want to put it out there, but you know, you're
• 15:49
  Speaker 4: at three seventy five and maybe some guys take some stuff.
• 15:52
  Speaker 4: Maybe it'd be the big press or doesn't jump into
• 15:55
  Speaker 4: till two hundred and fifty keyos right right, So I
• 15:59
  Speaker 4: I it's gonna be interesting to see because it's like,
• 16:01
  Speaker 4: you know, if if Hatton comes in and starts and
• 16:04
  Speaker 4: opens with five twenty and then goes five to sixty
• 16:07
  Speaker 4: like you said five, Like I'm thinking, you know, two
• 16:15
  Speaker 4: fifty to sixty two hundred and seventy kilos, I mean,
• 16:19
  Speaker 4: that's gonna be that's gonna be crazy. Yeah, I think
• 16:23
  Speaker 4: we'll see. I mean it's just, yeah, who's who's gonna pick,
• 16:27
  Speaker 4: Who's gonna pick what weight? So we'll just kind of
• 16:28
  Speaker 4: see on that right the second.
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: It'll be an interesting strategy, and it'll be interesting to
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: see what the coaches do with the strategies as well,
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: helping the guys pick them.
• 16:38
  Speaker 4: Here's the thing when I look at that, like for Trey, yes,
• 16:42
  Speaker 4: points matter, but I do think you know, getting a
• 16:46
  Speaker 4: pr I mean you go to an here's the thing.
• 16:48
  Speaker 4: If you go to a contest, you pr everything, you
• 16:50
  Speaker 4: get last, or you're unhappy your pr everything. So I
• 16:53
  Speaker 4: just I want to see the best performance. And that's
• 16:55
  Speaker 4: what we're shooting for, the best performance for Tree and
• 16:58
  Speaker 4: whoever that falls, that's gonna fall. I'd like to see
• 17:00
  Speaker 4: him say yeah, I want whenever event, but yeah me too.
• 17:04
  Speaker 4: There's there's there's nine other guys that want to kick
• 17:06
  Speaker 4: your asss So we're gonna take every event as it
• 17:09
  Speaker 4: is and do the best we can.
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: That's the event on day one.
• 17:14
  Speaker 5: Day two is loading medley with two logs onto a
• 17:17
  Speaker 5: sled and the back backwards drag was the sled.
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: That's going to be that'll be spicy.
• 17:26
  Speaker 4: I think it'll makes it spicy because no one's how
• 17:28
  Speaker 4: do you get train for its? Like the notes say, basically,
• 17:31
  Speaker 4: it's like a here's a like literally like a ten
• 17:34
  Speaker 4: foot log with a chain in a handle. So are
• 17:37
  Speaker 4: you duck walking it? Can you pull it a little higher?
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: You know? How much?
• 17:40
  Speaker 4: Is it banging off your quads? And you got to
• 17:43
  Speaker 4: run back grab another one? Then you got to drag
• 17:44
  Speaker 4: the whole implement back. So I think you know.
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: So where's the where's the chain on the log? Is
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: it on the end or is in the middle.
• 17:52
  Speaker 4: I think from what it sounded like, it sounds like
• 17:54
  Speaker 4: it's like like chain and it comes up into like
• 17:57
  Speaker 4: a handle. Okay, so and again no one's seen it yet.
• 18:02
  Speaker 4: So it's like we're training with logs, we're training with sandbags,
• 18:04
  Speaker 4: we're training with tea, with with t bars. You know,
• 18:07
  Speaker 4: we'll trade with whatever, just to try a variety. Yeah, prepared. Yeah,
• 18:12
  Speaker 4: lots of dragging, you know, the thing is lots of dragging.
• 18:14
  Speaker 4: I think this is going to be one where weight
• 18:17
  Speaker 4: is definitely a factor. Get fully sled, fully loading. You
• 18:21
  Speaker 4: start dragging backwards, you mean you gotta have enough ass
• 18:23
  Speaker 4: to get it going.
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah. What type of surface is it going to be
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: on to you? Guys know, if it's on the concrete,
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: then you need to go buy some new shoes too.
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: Like the air floats, they are pretty grippy, but like
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: I've been told.
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: Like.
• 18:39
  Speaker 4: I think your tears would be good or rock climbing.
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: M go to a skateboard store. Skateboard store, Yeah, go
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: to a skateboard store and find some like the vans
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: that have this rubber that's really soft. Yeah, and grippy
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: that it goes this way, not this way. The slots
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: go this way.
• 18:59
  Speaker 4: And you know what else is? You know I think
• 19:01
  Speaker 4: of and I used to do this tennis shoes for
• 19:04
  Speaker 4: like clay court tennis shoes because they don't have to
• 19:09
  Speaker 4: pick up dust. But I find your idea on the Vans.
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: So yeah, so because that stuff, I got a pair
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: here that I bought. God what in thirteen before the
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: what size shoes you wear? Twelve?
• 19:25
  Speaker 4: What size shoes you wear thirteen? Thirteen? It's funny, you know,
• 19:29
  Speaker 4: I forgot to tell you this because Nikki, you came
• 19:31
  Speaker 4: at OSG and you dump your shoes in my bag.
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: And they're still sitting in my bag.
• 19:36
  Speaker 4: Oh cool, I've got a fair shoes. But hey, if
• 19:38
  Speaker 4: they fit, I think they're Vans, I'll just stick them
• 19:40
  Speaker 4: on his feet. Well, see if they were.
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: Those those might actually do okay on the drag. Those
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: are pretty good shoes for that as well.
• 19:46
  Speaker 4: It's a pretty nice shoes. So I actually owe you
• 19:48
  Speaker 4: the shoes, and I totally forgot about bringing them back
• 19:50
  Speaker 4: to you.
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: That's okay. Well, I haven't officially unretired yet because I
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: haven't got to a contest in one piece until you
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: have to get them back to me.
• 19:59
  Speaker 4: This officially officially unretired.
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: Correct or something like that. So yeah, I'll be I'll
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: be back at door SG this year. So it'll be cool.
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: Maybe I'm seeing up pretty good.
• 20:10
  Speaker 4: Hey, if I can get everything healthy, we we'll do it.
• 20:13
  Speaker 4: Maybe we can retire together. You know, I'll tell you
• 20:15
  Speaker 4: that I'm fucking retiring. I won't surprise you with it.
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: Okay, well I didn't. That was you know what, I know,
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: I know. But yeah, I'm yeah, definitely coming back this year.
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: So it's gonna be a lot of fun and starting
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: to work on the on the things now. So so
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: just remember mobility.
• 20:40
  Speaker 4: If there's a Viking press, I just want you to
• 20:41
  Speaker 4: know I'm still going to beat you.
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: We'll see just what.
• 20:48
  Speaker 3: We can walk at their elbows.
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, neither one of us. Are you going to
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: lock out the elbows all the way? Would just.
• 20:59
  Speaker 4: The last event at the Arnold is going to be
• 21:01
  Speaker 4: stoned to shoulder. Yeah. So now the crazy thing is
• 21:06
  Speaker 4: the rules say it's a two.
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: And a half minute event.
• 21:10
  Speaker 4: That's a long ass time.
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: I mean it's going to be some conditioning and how
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: heavy is the stone going to be? H? Four hundred,
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: four hundred, no TACKI you have to keep going back
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: and forth or.
• 21:26
  Speaker 3: Is it just a trump stone? You know, so you
• 21:30
  Speaker 3: pick a four hundred if.
• 21:32
  Speaker 4: You want, if you do one rep on the four
• 21:34
  Speaker 4: hundred trumps anything on the three fifty, you know, like
• 21:36
  Speaker 4: they've done with the laws.
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I would almost think you'd want to go like
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: four hundred and four sixty three to fifty for any
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: of the guys in the Arnold is going to be.
• 21:49
  Speaker 4: Like stupid light. I will say this. I've watched a
• 21:53
  Speaker 4: lot of videos. There's a lot of people having some
• 21:55
  Speaker 4: issues with it.
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: Huh.
• 21:58
  Speaker 4: So we'll see, I mean, we'll see. I'm not complaining
• 22:00
  Speaker 4: because I know, I mean crazy natural stone. He squeezes
• 22:04
  Speaker 4: very hard.
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: Even with that.
• 22:06
  Speaker 4: In perfect world we do without the tacky.
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: You know, that makes a lot of.
• 22:09
  Speaker 3: People taching town.
• 22:12
  Speaker 5: You know, just to chalk, Yeah, you know, being able
• 22:15
  Speaker 5: to you know, practicing so much was out the you
• 22:18
  Speaker 5: know tacky. You know, just using chalk like that allowed
• 22:22
  Speaker 5: me to squeeze it, you know, squeeze the stone onto
• 22:25
  Speaker 5: the forums actually, you know, getting the upper body stronger
• 22:27
  Speaker 5: instead of relying on the tacky and like I'm really
• 22:30
  Speaker 5: explosive on stone lifting to be able to you know,
• 22:33
  Speaker 5: go from the lap to up here pretty quickly.
• 22:36
  Speaker 3: You know, that allows it to roll a lot quicker.
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think you're going to be just fine with
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: all that.
• 22:43
  Speaker 4: I think, what what my trepidation with the event is
• 22:46
  Speaker 4: this two and a half minutes long and it's the
• 22:48
  Speaker 4: sixth event, and I just think that opens up as
• 22:51
  Speaker 4: the potential for injury goes higher.
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: I think the biggest issue that that will be with
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: guys passing out.
• 23:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 23:00
  Speaker 4: Yeah, well your chest is that's an injury.
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 23:05
  Speaker 4: I know, I'm not worried about him because I mean,
• 23:07
  Speaker 4: I know that he's right.
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: But I think two and a half will depending on
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: when he goes. I mean, if he goes and he's
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: near the end, if not last, he'll just do whatever
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: he needs to do, right, you know. If not, he's
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: just going to go out and goes do as many
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: as he needs, as many as he can, which.
• 23:29
  Speaker 4: I'm just I'm just saying right now, if it's two
• 23:31
  Speaker 4: and a half minutes of the four poundstone, he might
• 23:33
  Speaker 4: do ten rows, right, and.
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: It's I would expect no less.
• 23:37
  Speaker 4: And the thing is is the next three we know
• 23:39
  Speaker 4: what's coming. The next three weeks. There's a lot of
• 23:41
  Speaker 4: conditioning to dial that conditioning down so that you know what,
• 23:45
  Speaker 4: when you're looking at energy substrate utilization and what you're burning,
• 23:52
  Speaker 4: he's going to be ready because we're going to be
• 23:54
  Speaker 4: very anaerobic and very aerobically ready to go.
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: Not worry about that. Then you just go have fun. Yeah,
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: you just go out and have a good time.
• 24:05
  Speaker 4: And then look and you know with the slater stone,
• 24:07
  Speaker 4: so a lot of times those slater stones are a
• 24:09
  Speaker 4: little uh, they're field.
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: Sore, which means you gotta which means they actually stick
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: to them better.
• 24:18
  Speaker 4: It's with attacking now I think again everyone's gonna have
• 24:22
  Speaker 4: a tacky towel. So I still think it's gonna come
• 24:25
  Speaker 4: down to who can squeeze it the most and nothing.
• 24:28
  Speaker 4: And again just like again, I watch everyone's videos, so
• 24:30
  Speaker 4: looking the taller athletes, can they get that full extension
• 24:34
  Speaker 4: and get it up? Yeah, it's it's a long Yeah,
• 24:38
  Speaker 4: that's a long ley. That's a long way to move.
• 24:40
  Speaker 4: So you know, six four sixty ten, You know there
• 24:43
  Speaker 4: are some advantages.
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: That we'll see the interest you know, damn well there's yeah,
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: well it'll be the well, that's the interesting thing. This
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: will be the first time a stone event actually doesn't
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: favor somebody who's tall exactly. Most of the time with
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: Atlas stones, the taller you are, the easier there. Actually
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: you only got to get it up to your to
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: your belly button, you know, or or less to get
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: on the podium, you know, if you're Brian or Thor
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: or Dave Oceland or any of those guys. Whereas now
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: you've got to get all the way up on your shoulder,
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: and now you've got to go the further distance right
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: instead of everybody else.
• 25:25
  Speaker 4: We'll take any advantage we can get on that. So
• 25:28
  Speaker 4: it's going to be an interesting show.
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: Mm hm, it's gonna be really interesting. So where do
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: you see some of the other guys's weaknesses, like Lucas,
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: for instance, where do you see his weakness being? Where
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: where would you make up points on Lucas from.
• 25:50
  Speaker 4: Asking both of you, I'll let you answer question. I don't.
• 25:54
  Speaker 5: I don't like to talk bad about any about it else.
• 25:57
  Speaker 5: But maybe Lucas, like he's he's a litle bit bigger guy.
• 26:01
  Speaker 5: You know, he's probably not gonna be too quick on
• 26:03
  Speaker 5: the medleys, on the sledge, the loading sled drag Medley.
• 26:08
  Speaker 5: I think he might lose there. He does have you know,
• 26:11
  Speaker 5: some ass on him to where he could be able
• 26:13
  Speaker 5: to move the sledge, be able to drag the sledge.
• 26:16
  Speaker 5: But uh yeah, I think the what's going to kill
• 26:20
  Speaker 5: him is the runs in between the loading.
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: Right, No, yeah, just going back and forth. Yeah, I
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: could see that, you know.
• 26:28
  Speaker 4: I think I think Lucas has a has a good
• 26:31
  Speaker 4: package and it's just gonna come down. Can you leave
• 26:35
  Speaker 4: it all on the field. You know, he's got experience,
• 26:37
  Speaker 4: He's compete at the highest level. I think he's really talented,
• 26:41
  Speaker 4: you know, I know, alf to have him ready, Uh,
• 26:44
  Speaker 4: where's he gonna miss the points? It's like, you know,
• 26:47
  Speaker 4: that's kind of we're gonna have to wait and see.
• 26:49
  Speaker 4: Is the deadlift is he where's he gonna pull on
• 26:50
  Speaker 4: the deadlift? You know? Is he gonna lose some points there?
• 26:53
  Speaker 4: The press? I mean, here's the thing, the press Medley.
• 26:57
  Speaker 4: You know, he's pretty fast, you know, and he's very powerful.
• 27:01
  Speaker 4: So I see there's a there's like a three four
• 27:04
  Speaker 4: horse race on that one. M h. If I look
• 27:07
  Speaker 4: at the frame again, he's got a decent grip. How
• 27:09
  Speaker 4: does that work? Is he going to be able to
• 27:11
  Speaker 4: finish that. You know that that's going to be that's
• 27:14
  Speaker 4: where he could pick up some points.
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and then how's the first how's the second step
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: or third step in go? Because most guys are not
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: prepared when they go from the flat surface and they
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: either step on the crack or step over it too far,
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: and you see that third step always messes people up,
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: and it's like, how are you going to recover from
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: that third step when you go from the flat part
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: to the to the upper part. You know, if if
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: you're wearing you know, pretty decent Olympic shoes, it makes
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: up for that because the stiffness of the the shoe
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: with the lift in the shoe will help quite a
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: bit with that. But you know, it still throws people
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: off when they hit that crack on accident. It'll be interesting.
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: You can't look down to see it. That's the cool part.
• 28:04
  Speaker 4: There's there's so many good athletes. Then I think it's
• 28:08
  Speaker 4: just I think this is probably the level of playing
• 28:12
  Speaker 4: field I've seen in a while, as far as no
• 28:14
  Speaker 4: one's gonna run away with it. I mean, I look, yeah,
• 28:19
  Speaker 4: is very good. You know, who's going to give us
• 28:22
  Speaker 4: the least amount of points is basically it's all about
• 28:25
  Speaker 4: it's all about mitigation of poor of your poor events.
• 28:29
  Speaker 4: Mm hmm. And that's I really think. So everyone's well.
• 28:32
  Speaker 4: Someone said we had a post. I was like, there's
• 28:35
  Speaker 4: no way if you don't have Thor in the top three.
• 28:37
  Speaker 4: It's like, I just think Thor is gonna give up.
• 28:38
  Speaker 3: He could win.
• 28:39
  Speaker 4: Four events, but give up so many points on two
• 28:41
  Speaker 4: events that that drops him down, right.
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: It's it's kind of like, oh, I don't know the
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: Atlas Stone and the Arnold. There's a couple of guys
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: that you know did well, one in particular that did
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: phenomenally well on everything, but he ended up, like I
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: for sixth. They're tied for seventh in the Stone, and
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: it removes your ability from winning, right, So even though
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: you can your first or second and all the rest
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: of the events. So it's it's one of those things
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: where you just got to mitigate, you know that the one.
• 29:15
  Speaker 4: Rough event so well, and you look, I mean, what
• 29:18
  Speaker 4: Tom has a new coach. What's Tom going to bring
• 29:20
  Speaker 4: the table? Is he gonna pick up something? Is he
• 29:22
  Speaker 4: gonna pick up much needed points in the deadlift?
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: Right?
• 29:25
  Speaker 4: Where's his press at where's his behind press that. I mean,
• 29:28
  Speaker 4: there's just so many unanswered and I think that's why
• 29:30
  Speaker 4: do you compete. You're gonna go compete to find out.
• 29:33
  Speaker 4: I mean, I always laugh because like you and I've
• 29:36
  Speaker 4: been competing for a million years, just like I want
• 29:38
  Speaker 4: to beat you on your best day. And I think
• 29:40
  Speaker 4: that's going to happen here at the Arnold. Whoever, when's
• 29:43
  Speaker 4: this Arnold? You're gonna this year is going to be
• 29:46
  Speaker 4: I think the most competitive you're in strongment I've ever seen,
• 29:49
  Speaker 4: because there's so many guys that are capable of winning.
• 29:53
  Speaker 4: It's just a matter of you know what It's like.
• 29:54
  Speaker 4: It's like putting the whole package together, having the condition,
• 29:57
  Speaker 4: having a strength, having the endurance. You know, is your
• 29:59
  Speaker 4: nutrition on point? You know, all that stuff. And it's
• 30:03
  Speaker 4: gonna be very interesting to see.
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: Oh I can't wait. It's gonna be fun. I'm gonna
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: be sitting there all day watching.
• 30:09
  Speaker 4: Hey, I will sawn. Trey and I talk about some
• 30:13
  Speaker 4: all times, Like you know, this year it's the year
• 30:14
  Speaker 4: of the Big Show and we're we're hunting for podium spots,
• 30:19
  Speaker 4: right and I think that's the that's the goal for
• 30:21
  Speaker 4: the year, and you know, keep working towards that, every
• 30:25
  Speaker 4: every training session, just improving, consistently improving. I mean it's
• 30:30
  Speaker 4: like it's not like I mean, he's thirty one, it's
• 30:32
  Speaker 4: not like he's old. But he's still got a lot
• 30:35
  Speaker 4: of room. The crazy thing is his frame has a
• 30:37
  Speaker 4: lot of room to grow.
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: Why can't even start strong Minu until I was thirty six?
• 30:41
  Speaker 4: I remember, Nick, I remember.
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: Before that? Yeah, yeah, I was already world championship. First
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: strong was our show, your first strong Man show, second
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: your Your's.
• 30:58
  Speaker 4: In two thousand and five, that was my second show. Yeah,
• 31:01
  Speaker 4: he brings Dylan and so Dylan and Breeze my son
• 31:03
  Speaker 4: are running around like you know, two little hooligans and
• 31:06
  Speaker 4: around downtown Cocomon and Nick literally he I think he
• 31:12
  Speaker 4: won every event, but the log and that cast you
• 31:14
  Speaker 4: the whole context.
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I lost my point.
• 31:17
  Speaker 4: Yeah, he lost my point because of the log, And
• 31:19
  Speaker 4: I'm like, dude, you just got to go doing You
• 31:22
  Speaker 4: got to get that. It's like van shows, come up,
• 31:24
  Speaker 4: say go hit Van show because I'm beats everybody at
• 31:27
  Speaker 4: Van show.
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: So that was I didn't need to do the Stones
• 31:30
  Speaker 2: at Van show. Pretty cool. The last event, yeah, it
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: was neat at child show because I didn't know I
• 31:43
  Speaker 2: was that good at the Farmers and then we took off.
• 31:47
  Speaker 2: He said go and I was like done, and I
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: was like, okay, cool.
• 31:53
  Speaker 4: He had to. You know, it's the defensive end speed.
• 31:57
  Speaker 4: You still have speed, that's what's scary.
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it was. It was cool, and the deadlift did well.
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: I knew I wasn't going to beat Bergman in the
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: deadlift because I think he did twelve. He needed eight
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: to get into second. So I pulled eight and stopped.
• 32:10
  Speaker 2: And I don't remember the name of the guy who
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: he needed one deadlift. He needed one rep to beat
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: me by a point, and he with like ten seconds ago,
• 32:21
  Speaker 2: he pulled that rep and got me. Lynn Sutherland. He
• 32:28
  Speaker 2: was from Kentucky.
• 32:28
  Speaker 4: And that's funny because he was he was cracking at
• 32:31
  Speaker 4: that pro card for like four years.
• 32:33
  Speaker 3: He gets it, I don't.
• 32:34
  Speaker 4: I don't know if he ever competed afterwards.
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: I don't remember seeing it anywhere.
• 32:38
  Speaker 4: After that, But then, well then you saw Bergman and
• 32:41
  Speaker 4: Bergman competed for quite What's funny is Bergman came over
• 32:45
  Speaker 4: to Kokomo in two thousand and three. He was getting it.
• 32:49
  Speaker 4: He's doing his masters at Purdue and he heard about
• 32:52
  Speaker 4: us and he came over and training. It was like
• 32:54
  Speaker 4: the day he came to training, it was like Schoonfeld, Auceland,
• 32:56
  Speaker 4: Jim Glassman, I mean, Brian Brianne, you know. So he
• 33:01
  Speaker 4: came in there and like and he's about my size.
• 33:03
  Speaker 4: I'm like and it was like wow, and I'm like, dude,
• 33:07
  Speaker 4: you have such a future. And well, yeah, three years
• 33:10
  Speaker 4: later he's a world times man.
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, twenty ten. Mm hmm. We were on the Yeah,
• 33:16
  Speaker 2: we went the same year, we made the finals the
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: same year.
• 33:18
  Speaker 4: I think he went like three or four times. Mm hmm.
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I think he went at least three. So he's man.
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: That guy was freaking solid all the way around.
• 33:28
  Speaker 4: He was all the way around. Great athlete, great athlete.
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: I remember him watching watching him drop the ifs of
• 33:33
  Speaker 2: shield and he just snatched it off the ground. It
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: landed flat. That thing is so hard to get your
• 33:42
  Speaker 2: fingers under to pick it up off the ground. And
• 33:44
  Speaker 2: I remember him at Venice Beach just yanking it back
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: up off the ground and I was just like, and
• 33:51
  Speaker 2: he picks it up and finishes the finishes the race.
• 33:53
  Speaker 2: But he was absolutely flying with it when he dropped.
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: But yeah, he was. He was one heck of a competitor.
• 34:00
  Speaker 2: Good dude, too, good dude.

• 36:30
  Speaker 4: one reason to push tray. So he has some great performance.

• 36:42

  Speaker 2: All right.
• 42:15
  Speaker 1: Well, you know what, we love having you guys on,
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: you know, especially talk about all the stuff that's getting
• 42:20
  Speaker 1: ready to happen, because we're looking forward to every one
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: of these shows, every one of these events, and god damn,
• 42:26
  Speaker 1: I can't wait to see this the everyone getting his
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: shoulder lift off. And you know what, we always end
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: the show in with Nick saying his favorite lines, and
• 42:37
  Speaker 1: you know what, Nick, let it.
• 42:38
  Speaker 3: Let the people know, Nick goes.
• 42:41
  Speaker 4: I want to give a shameless promotion out to Tray's
• 42:45
  Speaker 4: nutrition coach Nathan Peyton and Nathan I just want to
• 42:49
  Speaker 4: say that because I have a degree in nutrition. I
• 42:52
  Speaker 4: hired Nathan. I learned so much from him. He's probably
• 42:56
  Speaker 4: the best guy out there doing exactly what he's doing.
• 42:59
  Speaker 4: I was he is the best guy out there. There's
• 43:01
  Speaker 4: other people that imitate, but they're not as good. He's
• 43:04
  Speaker 4: a phenomenal coach. And you know what, just dialing his
• 43:07
  Speaker 4: nutrition in, you know, for losing weight after he tore
• 43:10
  Speaker 4: his achilles rampant back up. You know, there's nobody out
• 43:13
  Speaker 4: there doing it better than Nathan, so you can actually
• 43:16
  Speaker 4: hit him up there or just a shamelessly plugged Shaw
• 43:19
  Speaker 4: Strength because he's got a new app and he's got
• 43:22
  Speaker 4: Nathan's doing the nutrition and then coach Joe Ken is
• 43:25
  Speaker 4: doing the training. I think that's pretty freaking awesome, you know,
• 43:29
  Speaker 4: you know, that's a great place to go for knowledge,
• 43:31
  Speaker 4: shameless and do that.
• 43:39
  Speaker 2: Now, if Nathan talks you, you should listen. I mean,
