• 1:54
  Speaker 3: thank you to morning a new member. Thank you very much,
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: we appreciate you. And uh, we'll onto the first question
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: I saw people doing squads and deadlifts at the gym
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: followed by weightlifting. Okay, what are the difference between these
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: types of training? And is weightlifting more dangerous and does
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: it require significantly more strength? And tips? Can regular gym
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: goers get into weightlifting? Thank you so much. Anybody can
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: get into what is called its Olympic weightlifting is what
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: it's called. And yeah, anybody can get into it. It
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: takes a lot more technique, and it takes a lot
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: more speed and balance and practice. I mean, like when
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: you're doing a clean, you're ripping the ground the bar
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: from the ground, but you're accelerating it, but not super
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: fast till you clear so right about almost your knees,
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: and then you accelerate it pop it with your hips.
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: And then when you're trying to duck down underneath the
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: bar and catch it in a rack position on your
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: shoulders and then stand up with it, and then you
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: dip and use your legs and pop up over your
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: head and jump under it again and then stand upright
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: to do a clean and jerk. And then the snatch
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: is very similar, except for when you pop it with
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: your hip, you're dipping underneath it and you're catching it
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: with your arms wide behind your head and dipping down
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: and then standing up with it. So yeah, there's a
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: lot more say technique involved. I don't know about strength
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: per se, but it's a lot more fast twitched muscle
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: fibers and you're definitely gonna be pretty athletic when you
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: do it. I mean really basically, as far as Olympic
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: lifting goes, I definitely recommend the clean and jerk because
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: it's going to apply to straw man, it'll apply to
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: football and apply to a lot of other sports because
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: that explosiveness when you hit the thing and catch it
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: and then stand up with it. I mean even doing
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: hang cleans and stuff like that, it's really good for you.
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: Squats and deadlift and bench press are basically powerlifting and
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: anybody can do that as well. That's actually hobably even
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: easier for people to do. Then, you know, technique wise
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: than Olympic lifting, it's not as dangerous. The thing that's
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: dangerous about Olympic lifting is you know, if you catch
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: it wrong and you fall backwards in the bar lands
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: any of that type of stuff, you're in a much
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: rougher position at times, or you go you go back
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: too far with the weight and it, you know, either
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: takes your elbow or takes your shoulder out of place.
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: Both of those can be bad. They happen from time
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: to time, but it's not super common, but it's it
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: does do some damage to your shoulders, you know, prematurely.
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: But you don't see a whole lot of Olympic lifters
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: lifting past probably competing and really lifting past ten twelve
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: years at most. I mean, they're in out and they're
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: done at a pretty good rate. You can see powerlifters
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: still doing it thirty forty years later if they want
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: to keep going.
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: There's no yourself.
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: How long is that?
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah? I mean yeah exactly. I mean I did my
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: first one in eighty five and we're twenty six. So
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: what's that tell you? You can do it a long time?
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: So you can do both the sports. There's no reason
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: not to. It's just you got to understand. One's got
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: to take a lot more technique, work a lot more
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: practice and stuff like that, and the other ones you're
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: working on literally brute strength. The movements are actually pretty
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: darn safe. You have to really go out of your
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: way to mess those up, you really do. I mean,
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: it can be done, but you really got to go
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: out of your way to mess those up. Is if
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: you start lifting with the technique that is proper for
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: your body in powerlifting, you you're gonna it's gonna be
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: very challenging for you to have injuries unless you're really
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: pushing up at the upper world class level, you know,
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: or pushing your body to the absolute max, which the large,
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: overwhelming percentage of people can only push so hard, and
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: then they just don't have the ability to push themselves
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: till they break. It's usually bad technique that they break.
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: There are people out there that, once they get up
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: to that level, have the ability to push past what
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: their body is capable of, and it possibly push themselves
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: too hard, but it's rare, it's in common, and you
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: do find them. And like the kid that's trained with
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: me now justin he's one of those kids. He's got
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: that ability to push himself literally that hard, which is
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: super neat to see because he just wants it that
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: bad and his desire is that bad. So it's a
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: matter of coaching him through that to take it up
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: to the edge but not over the edge, and to
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: learn how to read that difference in your body and
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: then when you're getting near maximum weights, you got to
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: stay kind of towards the groove when you get in there.
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: If you get too far out of the groove, you're
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: not going to lift it, and that's when you kind
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: of got to really be careful. So kind of teaching
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: them some of those things, and it's working out pretty good.
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: The kid just keeps getting stronger and stronger and stronger.
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: So it's fun to watch, it really is. But the
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: differences between the two are basically ones more you know,
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: explosive than the other. I mean, you can be explosive
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: in squats and deadlists, but when you're doing a clean
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: and jerk and when you're doing a snatch, you got
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: to be super explosive. And that's probably the biggest difference
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: between the two is you have to be super explosive.
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: Not necessarily stronger, but you have to be super explosive,
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: and then you have to your technique doing it has
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: to be just perfect, you know, on it because you're
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: catching the weight in bad positions that's pretty darn heavy.
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: So that's kind of my explanation of the difference between
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: the two.
• 7:54
  Speaker 5: Let's see here, I want to touch a little bit
• 7:57
  Speaker 5: on the weightlifting part of us, you know, like because
• 8:01
  Speaker 5: you know what they're saying is, you know, deadlist squats
• 8:03
  Speaker 5: and we're talking about powerlifting, and we're talking about weightlifting.
• 8:06
  Speaker 4: But a little bit with weightlifting for the average gym
• 8:08
  Speaker 4: go goer is if you get a little training, you
• 8:11
  Speaker 4: get a little technique and like as in like you know,
• 8:14
  Speaker 4: like most gyms have personal trainers and you can.
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: Kind of tell there aren't going to really know about that.
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: What I'm saying is, you.
• 8:21
  Speaker 4: Know that's one of those things that you have to
• 8:23
  Speaker 4: lead out, you have to go through, and yeah, and
• 8:26
  Speaker 4: you you can. And when you start learning how to
• 8:29
  Speaker 4: transition from just going through the motions to actually mind
• 8:32
  Speaker 4: body connection in regular weightlifting, as in you go to
• 8:36
  Speaker 4: the gym with a purpose and a structure and a plan.
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: Well, like you are you talking about weightlifting or Olympic weightlifting,
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: because no, no.
• 8:44
  Speaker 4: No, I'm just talking about like actual like not not no,
• 8:48
  Speaker 4: none of those lifting at all, not no powerlifting. I'm
• 8:51
  Speaker 4: talking about the average gym goer lifting as in, like
• 8:54
  Speaker 4: they're just going in here for functional strength so you
• 8:57
  Speaker 4: can get in thirty sixty minutes. And that's that's regular
• 9:01
  Speaker 4: what we would consider accessory training. You know what I'm saying,
• 9:03
  Speaker 4: because that's what most people are going into the gyms
• 9:05
  Speaker 4: where like I'm doing some black pool downs, I'm doing
• 9:08
  Speaker 4: some rows, I'm doing some curls, and a lot of
• 9:10
  Speaker 4: times people go in with no understanding of how to
• 9:14
  Speaker 4: contract the muscle or how to utilize the muscle. And
• 9:18
  Speaker 4: you know, something that can help with that, like I said,
• 9:20
  Speaker 4: is you know what you're doing the research, watching the videos,
• 9:23
  Speaker 4: or like I said, you get a competent trainer to
• 9:26
  Speaker 4: actually show you how to convert into actual like regular
• 9:29
  Speaker 4: gym lifting.
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: How you see most people actually weight train and weightlift.
• 9:33
  Speaker 4: You know, I just for myself, I go in gym,
• 9:35
  Speaker 4: I see people going through the motions, but there's no connection,
• 9:38
  Speaker 4: there's no intention behind the workout.
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: They're just doing it because that's what they think.
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and that's that's like probably the most the biggest
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: thing between just training and not training. I mean, if
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: you're talking about weightlifting being the accessory exercises, then yeah,
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: you do your Big three because they don't involve a
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: lot of training or a lot of time technique. They
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: do involve some but not as much. And then the
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: rest of that is you know, using the other machines,
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: but you get on the machines for a purpose. You
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: get on the alternative exercises for a purpose. You're in
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: there for a purpose. You're not in there to just
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: go through the motions. You're going in there to make
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: yourself better. You're going in there to make yourself a
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: little bit better every time you go in. And the
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: weights might not go up every time you go in,
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: but going in puts the work in. You keep putting
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: enough work in, you keep getting bigger, you keep getting stronger,
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: and you keep getting better. And that will relate into
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: your mental state of mind as well, because when you
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: can go in there and you can shut off your
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: brain and do these things and yet come back out
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: of there, you have a fresh everything's fresh, You feel
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: good about everything, your dorphins are going on, and you
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: come at things with a much you know better, and
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: more positive attitude when you're doing that, So it helps
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: in many different ways. So finding somebody around you that
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: just doesn't want to take your money, but that actually
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: wants to see you grow. If you get a good
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: personal trainer, the good personal trainer should actually train you
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: to the point.
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: Where you don't need them anymore.
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: Yes, you know they should be teaching you, not here's
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: the workout and making you reliant on them.
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: Let me say that again.
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: They should be teaching you, not making you reliant on them.
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: The people that are, they're making you reliant on them. Well,
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: they just they want to get paid. You know, you're
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: still going to progress and you're still going to do things.
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: But you know they're just there to get paid. They
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: should be there to teach you these things. They teach
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: you what you don't know and then enjoy your success
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: and then, you know, a couple months later if they
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: need another new new things that they haven't been taught yet,
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: or whatever else, then they come back and see you again.
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: But your main goal is to teach be taught what
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: to do so that you can do it yourself, and
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: kind of be taught how to reach your limits.
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: Yourself.
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: You know, you shouldn't need music, You shouldn't need somebody
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: yelling at you or anything else. The desires should come
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: from your heart, from in here, and your will and
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: to be better and too striving to make the best
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: you that you can. It doesn't need to come from
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: somewhere else. What you need is to help with the
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: knowledge of there's things you don't know. I mean, we
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: still learn things to this day. I still learn things
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: to this day.
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: The first thing we got to realize is we don't
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: know everything you know. And I'll be the first to
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: admit it. I know an awful lot, I really do,
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: but I don't know everything. And so if you're always
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: willing to learn, and you come in and you learn
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: something that works a little better, and you learn something
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: works a little better, pretty soon you have at the
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: top of the mountain, or you're just the best you
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: that you could be. You know, your goal could just
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: be looking better and feeling better and moving around better.
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: That's a great goal. I'm all for it, I really am.
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: I just want people's quality of life overall to be
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: better and their mental ability because of that to be better.
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: That's it.
• 13:09
  Speaker 3: The confidence you're going to get from that is going
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: to be massive, it really is. It just helps every
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: in everything that you do every day. But find somebody
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: who's going to teach you, not tell you, and run
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: you through it over and over and over. Now, if
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: you're powerlifting, if you're competing and stuff like that, you
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: will need people that are that are knowledgeable to help
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: you through your your training programs and stuff like that
• 13:34
  Speaker 3: for your you know, your ten week twelve week cycles,
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: stuff like that as far as training goes, and your
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: linear progression.
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: And stuff like that.
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: But even then, after a couple of years of that,
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: or even two or three times where you go through
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: that process, you already should know how to do it yourself.
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: So and if you're honest with yourself as you're writing
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: these things down, you can do a lot of these
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: things yourself and remember your your own experiments. So write
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: the things down, write down what works, write down what
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: doesn't work, and do the ones that do and throw
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: out the ones that don't. It's it's really it's not
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: Rocket sciences. But it's some things work good for everybody
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: and some things work for nobody at all. It's just
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: how it is. But you have to find out what
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: works for you the best, and start by somebody who's experience,
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: who's willing to teach you.
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: And then as you move.
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: On, see people that are more experienced than you are,
• 14:30
  Speaker 3: to add more things in, to get more points of view,
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: stuff like that of that you respect, not that just like, hey,
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: this program is the best thing that's there ever been
• 14:38
  Speaker 3: and it's like, well why and how's that going to
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: work for me? Ask questions of it and stuff like that, Well,
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: why are they successful on it? And how long have
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: they been successful on it? Do they continue to be
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: successful with this for decades? Or is this something that
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: it's going to push you so far to the wall
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: that you're only going to last like four or five
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: years and then your career is over. So be very
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: very careful with a lot of these things. But the
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: main thing is learn and learn for yourself and learn
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: from the experience of others. The books are all fun
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: and great. The scientific guys are all freaking congratulations. You
• 15:16
  Speaker 3: can read a book. Yeah, But Henry Ballins once said,
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: what is it knowledge without experience is bs yep, And
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: it is. It's the experience that gives you the knowledge,
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: and then somebody with that knowledge puts it in a
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: book and you read the book.
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: And then now all of a sudden.
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: You read the book and your body might not be
• 15:38
  Speaker 3: the same as that.
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: Guys, just understand that.
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: So learn, read, get ideas, work, try experiment, find what
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: works for you. Yes, okay, all right on the question too,
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: do pretty good. Fifteen minutes on the.
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: First question, oh yeah.
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: And some general ranting or just some stuff. All right.
• 16:01
  Speaker 3: In competitive sports, you need to defeat your opponents in
• 16:04
  Speaker 3: order to win. Yeah, but in strong men, the people
• 16:07
  Speaker 3: of the community often share their experience and support each other,
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: almost like family.
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, very true. How do you view this kind
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: of culture? I view it. It's fantastic.
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: It's why one of the reasons why I love strong
• 16:20
  Speaker 3: strong Man so much, because you don't have a lot
• 16:22
  Speaker 3: of that power of thing either. Do you think the
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: spirit of mutual support growing together can also be applied
• 16:31
  Speaker 3: to other industries in society?
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, it can, I mean so much.
• 16:39
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, it would uplift a lot. I mean, the
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: goal is the goal is is everybody uses the same technique,
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: and it's the best guy wins, you know, And I
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: don't mind, you know, getting beat by somebody who's just
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: better than me. I don't like getting beat by somebody
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: who knew something I didn't and had an advantage. Like
• 17:02
  Speaker 3: you walk into a contest and you can tell it's
• 17:04
  Speaker 3: only your first one there and you're just like, I
• 17:06
  Speaker 3: don't know how to do this. It's not getting hurt,
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: and you're just looking at the thing, and everybody tells
• 17:10
  Speaker 3: you after the event's over, you know, and that happens
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: that that happened to me, and I just I vowed
• 17:18
  Speaker 3: never to really do that again. If people come up
• 17:20
  Speaker 3: to me in the contest they asked me the question
• 17:22
  Speaker 3: and I'm competing against them, I'll still give them the
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: same answer.
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: I want to win when they're on their best day, not.
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: Because yeah, yeah, I want to win because I was better,
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: plain and simple. That being said, there are a lot
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: of tricks and a lot of other people. If they
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: don't ask, I'm not telling them. I'm not going to
• 17:42
  Speaker 3: volunteer it. Yeah, but if you come up to me
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: and ask why are you doing that? I will tell you, Hey,
• 17:48
  Speaker 3: this is why I'm doing it, you know. So it's
• 17:51
  Speaker 3: just that simple, you know, ask ask people, hey, man,
• 17:56
  Speaker 3: why are you putting this on? And why you putting
• 18:00
  Speaker 3: spraytack on your belly and then putting your shirt on. Well,
• 18:03
  Speaker 3: it's not nothing against it in the rules, And it
• 18:05
  Speaker 3: helps your shirt stick to you, to your stomach, and
• 18:08
  Speaker 3: then you put the chalk on your stomach and now
• 18:10
  Speaker 3: your shirt doesn't move when you do axle cleans or
• 18:13
  Speaker 3: log cleans, and it works a lot better. It really does.
• 18:16
  Speaker 3: And just that might give you an extra five or
• 18:19
  Speaker 3: ten pounds on the clean and make it easier so
• 18:22
  Speaker 3: that when you go to overhead press, it'll make it
• 18:23
  Speaker 3: just a little bit better, just like using your belt
• 18:27
  Speaker 3: on the log and using as a shelf. It just
• 18:31
  Speaker 3: it helps makes people better and it also prevents injuries.
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: So that's the other thing is the experienced guys don't
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: want to see guys get hurt. They see guys talented.
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: The better the sport does, the better we all do.
• 18:42
  Speaker 3: And that's something that a lot of straw men get
• 18:45
  Speaker 3: because straw man didn't start off making a whole lot
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: of money. I remember being a lot of parking lots,
• 18:50
  Speaker 3: even at you know, America's Strongest Man and being in
• 18:54
  Speaker 3: parking lots and you know, World's Strongest Man being at
• 18:58
  Speaker 3: colleges and stuff like that.
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: It's just a hotel parking lot.
• 19:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, exactly in the commerce casino in the hotel
• 19:06
  Speaker 3: parking lot. So there's there's and as the stort grows
• 19:10
  Speaker 3: and gets bigger, and there's bigger avenues and stuff like that.
• 19:13
  Speaker 3: So the better we all do, the better the sport does,
• 19:17
  Speaker 3: the better we all do all the way around. So
• 19:19
  Speaker 3: you want to see guys last. You want to see
• 19:21
  Speaker 3: guys build a name. You want to see guys you know,
• 19:23
  Speaker 3: go out there and do well. And it is like
• 19:26
  Speaker 3: a team thing, it really is, because you end up
• 19:28
  Speaker 3: training with a lot of these guys and there's not
• 19:30
  Speaker 3: a whole lot of people that know more than a
• 19:32
  Speaker 3: whole bunch of the you know, guys that have been
• 19:35
  Speaker 3: doing a long time, and so they share the information
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: back and forth because one you're all friends, and two
• 19:41
  Speaker 3: it you don't want to see your other guys get
• 19:44
  Speaker 3: hurt and you want to see everybody progress. So you
• 19:46
  Speaker 3: share the information with each other because back in the
• 19:48
  Speaker 3: day at World's Strongest Man, nobody was allowed. Back there,
• 19:50
  Speaker 3: you wouldn't allowed to have a coach, you wouldn't allowed
• 19:53
  Speaker 3: to have your wife or anybody with you. It's just
• 19:55
  Speaker 3: all the guys and then two pas that really didn't
• 19:59
  Speaker 3: know or care about straw Man that much. They just
• 20:01
  Speaker 3: worked for the film company. And so we had to
• 20:04
  Speaker 3: take care of each other. So we were helping each
• 20:06
  Speaker 3: other with the suits, we were helping each other with
• 20:07
  Speaker 3: the warm ups. We were helping each other putting taki on,
• 20:11
  Speaker 3: you know, taking taki off, the whole thing. We helped
• 20:14
  Speaker 3: each other with all that, so when guys do great,
• 20:17
  Speaker 3: we go cheer them on when you know, and the
• 20:20
  Speaker 3: guys cheer us on. So it's a neat camaraderie thing
• 20:23
  Speaker 3: that we try to install. The new guys that are
• 20:26
  Speaker 3: coming in to keep staying on top of that, we'll
• 20:29
  Speaker 3: go tell them they'll start complaining about something.
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: Good.
• 20:31
  Speaker 3: Dude, we had none of this, so you need to
• 20:32
  Speaker 3: shut up. You're very blessed to have the things that
• 20:36
  Speaker 3: you have because we came in and we did this.
• 20:39
  Speaker 3: We all had to work forty to fifty hour week
• 20:41
  Speaker 3: jobs to still do the sport that we loved to do.
• 20:44
  Speaker 3: And and if you didn't win Worlds, and if you
• 20:46
  Speaker 3: didn't win the Arnold, there was no big paycheck at
• 20:48
  Speaker 3: the end of it. You got a little bit of
• 20:49
  Speaker 3: prize money that would help with things, but you weren't
• 20:52
  Speaker 3: making a living off of it. The thing that was nice, though,
• 20:55
  Speaker 3: is get to the upper levels of it, and you
• 20:57
  Speaker 3: didn't have to pay for your travel anymore, and you
• 20:59
  Speaker 3: might walk up way with a little bit of money
• 21:01
  Speaker 3: after it. And it was you did it because you
• 21:03
  Speaker 3: love the sport, plain and simple, and now it can
• 21:06
  Speaker 3: be I wouldn't say lucrative but you can make a
• 21:10
  Speaker 3: decent living at it if you're in the probably top
• 21:12
  Speaker 3: fifteen guys in the world. So it's it's it's really
• 21:16
  Speaker 3: changed that way, and it's that's what we laid the
• 21:18
  Speaker 3: groundwork to do, you know. Basically for all those years,
• 21:21
  Speaker 3: Derek Poundstone used to talk about that the roads we're
• 21:24
  Speaker 3: paving now are going to lead a lot to the
• 21:27
  Speaker 3: guys that are later, And now the guys that are
• 21:29
  Speaker 3: later are taking advantage of it, and the girls are
• 21:32
  Speaker 3: even coming in the lighter weight classes are doing the same.
• 21:35
  Speaker 3: So they're going to have all the same problems that
• 21:37
  Speaker 3: we did with there was a lot of money behind
• 21:39
  Speaker 3: it and all these things, and eventually they'll get there,
• 21:42
  Speaker 3: but it's going to take a while, and they've got
• 21:44
  Speaker 3: to understand you're not going to get rich off the
• 21:48
  Speaker 3: competitions doing it until you know, it reaches that kind
• 21:54
  Speaker 3: of popularity you know, in the world and more people
• 21:57
  Speaker 3: are sitting down watching it, you know, the more it
• 21:59
  Speaker 3: goes on TV, the more exposure it gets. You know,
• 22:03
  Speaker 3: we act like good people and stuff like that and
• 22:05
  Speaker 3: be giving and have people care. It's going to make
• 22:08
  Speaker 3: the sport do better. The sport does better. We all
• 22:10
  Speaker 3: do better. So yeah, so it's kind of neat. Yeah, yeah,
• 22:15
  Speaker 3: and I think a lot of industries, especially based in
• 22:18
  Speaker 3: the same country, you know, it could really gain a
• 22:22
  Speaker 3: lot for that, especially when you're working to working towards
• 22:27
  Speaker 3: a common goal. You know, it helps a lot when
• 22:31
  Speaker 3: you don't have to you know, want to hang out
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: with everybody that you work with, but you do need
• 22:36
  Speaker 3: to figure out a way to get along with them
• 22:38
  Speaker 3: and work as a team to get things accomplished. And yeah,
• 22:41
  Speaker 3: I think that would go a long way, just in
• 22:43
  Speaker 3: all kinds of industries, the automobile industry, the construction industry
• 22:49
  Speaker 3: in California, could look getting things approved and stuff like that.
• 22:53
  Speaker 3: There's so many things that you know, could be improved
• 22:56
  Speaker 3: by just simple things. But you know, it's not a
• 23:00
  Speaker 3: perfect world, but we're trying. But I do think that
• 23:04
  Speaker 3: would help, I really do.
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: All right, those some good questions this week? Yeah, yeah,
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: next month, at the end of the month, he is
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: world's strongest man.
• 23:16
  Speaker 4: Yeah, after the Arnold, do you think a lot of
• 23:18
  Speaker 4: these guys are going to be able to be recovered
• 23:19
  Speaker 4: from that, to be able to go into the world
• 23:22
  Speaker 4: strongest man, to be able to peek you set themselves
• 23:24
  Speaker 4: up a peak for it.
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I.
• 23:28
  Speaker 3: The different the distance between the two. I think it's
• 23:31
  Speaker 3: about six or seven weeks, maybe even eight. So I
• 23:36
  Speaker 3: think that's a fairly decent amount of time. I've had
• 23:40
  Speaker 3: to do them three weeks apart, four weeks apart, and
• 23:44
  Speaker 3: that's really difficult to recover from, and that's where you're
• 23:47
  Speaker 3: really running on fumes and you just got to come
• 23:50
  Speaker 3: in and hope everything holds together. I think they've had
• 23:53
  Speaker 3: enough time to get through it in one piece. I
• 23:57
  Speaker 3: think the guys that are smart that build up to
• 24:00
  Speaker 3: it pretty good and back off a little bit, knowing
• 24:02
  Speaker 3: they're not going to get eat weaker. They just have
• 24:05
  Speaker 3: to do things for their mobility and moving and running
• 24:08
  Speaker 3: and stuff like that. Back off on the waits a
• 24:10
  Speaker 3: little bit for a few weeks, and then come in
• 24:13
  Speaker 3: like the last probably at four weeks out, have two
• 24:18
  Speaker 3: like crazy weeks to train it and then shut it
• 24:20
  Speaker 3: down for a week and then just a week for
• 24:24
  Speaker 3: prep and then for like resting and recovery and then
• 24:28
  Speaker 3: just go let it fly.
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: You know, there's a couple of.
• 24:31
  Speaker 3: Competitors that didn't do the Arnold and some of the
• 24:33
  Speaker 3: other things that are been training. Who's recovered from injury.
• 24:38
  Speaker 3: That should be pretty interesting when they get there. But
• 24:40
  Speaker 3: I think the man to be super it really is.
• 24:44
  Speaker 3: And he's coming in hot, he's back in form, he's
• 24:49
  Speaker 3: ready for a lot of the things that they're going
• 24:52
  Speaker 3: to throw at him, and it's it's gonna be fun
• 24:56
  Speaker 3: to watch. And it looks like he's probably gonna be
• 24:59
  Speaker 3: able to recovering in time to be full go by
• 25:03
  Speaker 3: the time he gets there.
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: So it's gonna be fun to watch. It really is.
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: Oh, It's definitely gonna be fun to watch.
• 25:09
  Speaker 4: It's definitely gonna be raised because, like I said, is
• 25:12
  Speaker 4: Rhino gonna be able to come in and repeat or
• 25:17
  Speaker 4: is it going to go back to you know, Mitch,
• 25:20
  Speaker 4: Tom or the people that are in contention.
• 25:23
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I think I think Mitch and Tom will
• 25:26
  Speaker 3: just be battling head to head at this thing, I
• 25:29
  Speaker 3: really do. I think Evan Singleton, you know, it will
• 25:32
  Speaker 3: be right up there. I mean, Trey Austin, I mean
• 25:37
  Speaker 3: all the guys that were just in the Arnold are
• 25:39
  Speaker 3: gonna be able to be there fighting hard. Yeah, you know,
• 25:43
  Speaker 3: and Martin's being back, you know, that's gonna be interesting.
• 25:48
  Speaker 3: It is because I don't think he was super. The
• 25:52
  Speaker 3: way I kind of know Martin's and have seen him compete,
• 25:55
  Speaker 3: He's probably not that beat up after the Arnold. He
• 25:58
  Speaker 3: huge has to do two or three these things in
• 26:00
  Speaker 3: a row for him that are close together for him
• 26:03
  Speaker 3: to get super beat up. And his training was really
• 26:05
  Speaker 3: good getting ready for it. So I could see, you know,
• 26:08
  Speaker 3: him making another podium again, like like what he just
• 26:12
  Speaker 3: did at the Arnold. You know, I really can't because
• 26:15
  Speaker 3: these would be good events for him. There's gonna be
• 26:16
  Speaker 3: Max log that he did okay in the Arnold, and
• 26:20
  Speaker 3: then but at the end of the day, it's gonna
• 26:24
  Speaker 3: be who can who can beat Mitch if he comes
• 26:26
  Speaker 3: in healthy and the way these events are, we'll see.
• 26:33
  Speaker 3: But there's a reason why we do it. There's a
• 26:35
  Speaker 3: reason why we do it. There really is. So it'll
• 26:37
  Speaker 3: be fun to watch. But I can I can see,
• 26:41
  Speaker 3: you know, Tom Martinz, Mitchell Austin and even wow, I'm
• 26:48
  Speaker 3: doing good today, Evan Singleton, you know, being up in
• 26:52
  Speaker 3: the top five if if if Evan's healthy, look out,
• 26:56
  Speaker 3: I don't know. He told that peck Off, but it's
• 26:58
  Speaker 3: been a while he's had the surgery. He's better and better,
• 27:01
  Speaker 3: and it looks like it looks like he's getting more
• 27:04
  Speaker 3: focused into what he's doing. I would like to see
• 27:07
  Speaker 3: him stop banging his head into anything and focusing that
• 27:11
  Speaker 3: instead of relying on the rage, rely on concentration. If
• 27:17
  Speaker 3: he ever does that, that guy's gonna be untouchable.
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: He really will. And I hope someday.
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: It's click one day.
• 27:23
  Speaker 3: And I hope someday Nico can quote that perch that
• 27:26
  Speaker 3: into him before he gets old. But real, but I
• 27:31
  Speaker 3: love that guy, I really do. I love all these guys.
• 27:34
  Speaker 3: I mean, they're they're great friends. I love them all.
• 27:38
  Speaker 3: I truly do and respect them all.
• 27:39
  Speaker 4: I mean, it's always fun when we get to hang
• 27:41
  Speaker 4: out with everybody, because that's how it always comes. So
• 27:43
  Speaker 4: you know, for those of think we will be at
• 27:46
  Speaker 4: World's Strongest Man, and we definitely like you guys.
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: You see us, come say, come.
• 27:51
  Speaker 3: Up, stay up high, take a picture. I'll talk to
• 27:54
  Speaker 3: you guys. I love talking to people. So you know,
• 27:58
  Speaker 3: the only time I got to leave is if they
• 28:00
  Speaker 3: got there's a time restraint where I got to be
• 28:02
  Speaker 3: somewhere other than that, you know, it's it's cool or
• 28:05
  Speaker 3: I haven't eaten things like that.
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: I do love talking to people. I really do.
• 28:10
  Speaker 3: I love sharing things with people and knowledge and just
• 28:14
  Speaker 3: enjoying life so exactly.
• 28:16
  Speaker 4: And then after that we have uh, the Enhanced Games,
• 28:21
  Speaker 4: you know, Yeah, that'll be in Vegas.
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: So we're trying to attend, you.
• 28:26
  Speaker 2: Know, yeah, we're trying to figure out how to get
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: in there exactly exactly.
• 28:31
  Speaker 4: You know, if anyone listens to podcast happens to know,
• 28:33
  Speaker 4: somebody you know, throw us. Yeah, but you know, I'll
• 28:36
  Speaker 4: have to see if we can, because well, I.
• 28:38
  Speaker 3: Don't I don't think there. I don't think they're selling tickets.
• 28:41
  Speaker 3: I think it's invitation only. So it's gonna be one
• 28:44
  Speaker 3: of those things where, you know, hopefully we get to go.
• 28:48
  Speaker 3: I would love to.
• 28:51
  Speaker 4: So that'll be in May and Las Vegas, Vegas.
• 28:56
  Speaker 3: But my voice when my voice, when I got a cold,
• 28:59
  Speaker 3: I'm like super.
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: Exactly. Nick's film A Little under the Weather. So we're
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: gonna you know, ridiculous and upbeat on your mom. How
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: is your mom doing? Oh?
• 29:09
  Speaker 3: Hey, cool, mom's doing well. You know, she got in
• 29:12
  Speaker 3: a car wreck. It rolled over like four times. She
• 29:15
  Speaker 3: broke eight ribs and her wrists her wrist in two spots.
• 29:19
  Speaker 3: She's seventy five. I love my mom, I really do.
• 29:23
  Speaker 3: She's doing pretty well. She's up.
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: She did three.
• 29:27
  Speaker 3: Laps around the around the hospital today, which is cool.
• 29:31
  Speaker 3: It's about a lap around the indoor part of the
• 29:34
  Speaker 3: hospital that she's at is probably one hundred and fifty.
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: Yards per se, okay, sorts of it's.
• 29:41
  Speaker 3: Pretty good distance. She did three laps today, so two
• 29:46
  Speaker 3: of the laps worth out the walker, so that was good.
• 29:51
  Speaker 3: She's getting stronger, her balance is getting better.
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 29:54
  Speaker 3: We just got to make sure she doesn't fall or
• 29:55
  Speaker 3: do anything to crack crack any of their ribs. Now
• 30:00
  Speaker 3: that they're starting to heal up pretty good. So she's
• 30:02
  Speaker 3: pretty tough.
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: She really is. I love my mom to death.
• 30:05
  Speaker 3: So she's pretty tough, and she's she keeps healing and
• 30:09
  Speaker 3: doing better. She could end up coming here to stay
• 30:11
  Speaker 3: a couple of weeks after this, after she gets out
• 30:14
  Speaker 3: of the hospital. That way, it's easier for her.
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 30:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah, she's closer if anything does, you know, if anything
• 30:22
  Speaker 3: does go wrong, and then she also too, Yeah, everyone's
• 30:27
  Speaker 3: a lot closer. And then she can, you know, she
• 30:29
  Speaker 3: needs to. She can go out and walk on the
• 30:31
