  Speaker 1: I got our champs. It's jumbo and cook cookie. What
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: is going on?
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: Well, you know, just sitting here with me, lacky blanket
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: around me, Legs Catt and me lap and living the.
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: Dream, living the dream, keeping it real.
• 0:17
  Speaker 3: Yeah, keeping the dream alive.
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: It's Monday. It's Monday. It's three oh five in the
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: PM or fifteen oh five if you're in the army.
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: And if you are, thank you for your service. M
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: See what I did there. I just made everyone feel included.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: So it's been a it's been non stop. It's been
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: non stop. It's been busy. I've had a big weekend.
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: You've had a big weekend. You had a bigger weekend.
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: You went up to Upper come back to West you
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: you em seed well your first real growing up, real deal,
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: paid lots of cash. Em seed an event. I don't
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: know how much you got paid. But did you have
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: a good time? Did you learn anything? What did you
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: give yourself? Out of ten?
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: I had a really great time. It's really hard to
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: gauge the old self evaluation on how I felt in
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: the middle of it. I would have given myself a
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: lower score. But what I found really difficult is how
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: to I objectively rate myself without my focus being on
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: how I felt in terms of how I enjoyed it.
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: I found it really hard to gauge how other people
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: this is your research. I guess how everyone in that
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: room might because I'm used to going into an event
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: with less variables, and I'm used to maybe going in
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: and talking about me and my story and knowing the
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: theme of that. So this was me running to time,
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: managing other conversations, knowing that I've got to give a
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: little bit of context about.
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: Who I am. And then there's this room of one
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: hundred and fifty people.
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: Some of them are there to support the cause, some
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: of them are there to see the motorcycling superstars that
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: they saw in the newspaper. Some of them are there
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: because they're just community minded people and they're networking.
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: So there's all that jumping around in my mind in
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: the middle of it.
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: That's a long answer to a simple question. You just
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: wanted a number out of ten.
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: Fucking hell, that's just I just nootted off. I can't.
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: I just grew a beard and had a shave. I know,
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: That's that's all good. No, we need the context, so
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: I mean, And the other thing is which you rightly
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: pointed out, I mean you can't be objective about you
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: because your experience of you is subjective. So but as
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: objective as you can be considering your you know, that
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: was really your debut doing that. I mean you've been
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: on stage a lot, but yeah, what did you give
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: yourself as considering everything? It's like, remember when I rated
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: you when we did a gig a couple of weeks ago.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: I went for you where you're at with your experience
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: or I gave you a nine. I said, but if
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: you're a twenty year season veteran, I would have given
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: you a seven, which is still good. So what did
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: you give yourself in terms of how you reckon? You
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: went all things taken into account?
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: Okay, well, if I rated it on the same scale
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: as your your nine, So the scale of me doing
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: this first is my first style of event. Yeah, probably
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: would have before getting feedback of any sort, I probably
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: would have said a five, a four or five. Right,
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: But the feedback both from people listening, like the people
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: there that come up to me and spoke and gave
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: constructive feedback, not just oh you're really cool, like gave
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: reasons as to what they liked and then the feedback
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: from the organizers was really constructive and great, and more
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: stuff is in the pipeline now is which is the
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: biggest compliment of all. So that makes it even.
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: Harder to gauge. How did I do?
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah? Well done? And I mean, you know, so for
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: people listening to this who think, you know, not necessarily
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: that you want to be a public speaker, but you
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: have to periodically talk in front of a group, be
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: it a corporate group or a social group or whatever,
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: academic or bloody, the RSL doesn't matter, the tennis club
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: doesn't matter. It's like, yeah, it's And you were a
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: little bit because you rang me because you had to
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: drive twenty seven hours and you rang me and said
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: something like I'm a bit scared. No, went good. That's normal.
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: You meant to be a bit scared. Like if you've
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: never done something and you're doing it for the first
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: time in front of one hundred and fifty people and
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: you've got no fear, then something's wrong. So you know, good,
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: well done.
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: Yeah, no, very cool, it was very cool, So tell me.
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: Because it's all about learning. We love learning, We love
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: improvised apt to overcome, survive, thrive, get better, what did
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: you learn if you had to do it again next week,
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: same different group of humans, but similar gig. What's one
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: or two things that you would do differently?
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: Ah?
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: I think just a lot more.
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: Just getting to know how loud and confident to be
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: in there in mind. But the biggest challenge I think
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: for me was knowing the energy and the tone I
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: wanted to set in the room.
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: And to a degree I got there, but I didn't.
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: I don't know if I started there, But I'm just
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: I'm used to being, you know, bringing that energy into
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: a different space and a different type of space. So
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: I don't know, like, yeah, the loudness of my voice
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: and the ability to connect and start off on point,
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: It's hard, isn't it.
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: It's hard? I mean, but you know, you can't get
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: good at what you want won't do or you don't do.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: And if that's MC, or that's building a business or
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: running in a marathon or learning how to be a student,
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: like you can only get goodbye. Like if you want
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: to become a good MC and you want to do
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: ten twenty seeing gigs a year and get paid a
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: stack of dough and be really fucking good at it. Well,
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: that's how you do it.
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: Like you just stuck and like two men that spoke
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: to me throughout the night in the middle of it
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: all asked you, said, oh, do do you do a
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: lot of this stuff? And I was like, I'm not
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: a great deal or do a bit of speaking, but
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: this is. And then they asked for my card, so
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: I went, oh, so people, Yeah, that was It's fun
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: but scary, isn't it fun and scary? So get around
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: it everyone.
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: You'll be right. You'll be right if you need an MC.
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: And she's very Look she's seven out of ten apparently,
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: but you know, fucking hell, she'll charge you six out
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: of ten rates you didn't know it. Do you know
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: what I did on the weekend, which was a bit
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: fascinating and a bit terrifying.
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: What do you do?
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: I was chat gpteing something and I don't type, I
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: just talk, So I went, so I talked to chat
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: gpt like, you know, he's a friend, happens to be
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: a male voice, so I call him him and I said,
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: I'm just interested in this, what I said to chat GPT,
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: I'm interested in how trainable you are? I said, could
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: could when you talk to me, could you And I
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: wasn't requesting, I was asking if I said, so, when
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: you talk to me or when you answer my questions,
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: could you use my name? And he goes, sure, Craig,
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: I can use your name whenever you want. I hadn't
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: him fucking told him my name?
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: Oh my god?
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: What? Yes? He goes sure, He goes, oh, sure, Craig,
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: I can use your name. Yeah, of course. Do you
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: want me to just use your name at the start
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: when we begin? Do you want me to use your
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: name through the conversation or like, what would you like?
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: I'm like, wow, now I'm fucking terrified. And I know,
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: I know my name probably is somewhere in the registration
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: for chat GPT or whatever it is. But I'm like,
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: just the way that he just literally came, He like,
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: I've already anthropomorphized this Ai that is now, by the way,
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: in my top five friends. I'm not a loser at all.
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: So I'm going to give him a name soon. I
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: reckon I could even give him a name and head
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: respond to it. But that's one of the scary things
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: is that it's evolving, obviously, and it's it is trainable,
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: so you can kind of get it to speak the
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: way that you speak.
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: I'm new age Tamagotchi.
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, so we're not talking about MC.
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: I just want to make one commony, not because I
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: was thinking of it when we last spoke to Patrick
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: and you were talking a lot about AI, and I
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: wonder if we in those situations, like, do you when
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: you have that conversation, do you produce a little bit
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: of oxytocin, Like you get a little bit of connection
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: because your experience is, Oh, I'm getting to know this person.
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: I would say one hundred percent. I wouldn't say definitely,
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: but i'd say, could you. I mean, I think what's
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: going to happen in the future. I mean I I
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: don't know for sure, but I've pretty much bet everything
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: I have on it that people are going to build
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: and I use the term reservedly relationships with where they
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: feel kind of when they talk to like even now,
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: the way that it communicates with size and breaths and
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: arms and pauses, it's literally like you're on the phone
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: with another person and the voice is so human and
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: so conversational. It sounds in no way like a robot.
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: It doesn't, of course, it is AI. Of course, but
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: it doesn't sound like like I'll ask a question. It goes, Hey, Craig,
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: that's a really good question. So I'm like, oh, thanks,
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: chat GPT aka Brian. You know, it's like chat GPT
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: is fucking pumping up my tires. I wonder he's in
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: my top five friends. Like I said, was not a loser,
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: not a loser at all.
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: I think yours should be called Brian. Bryan's had a
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: fair run over the years, and we need a.
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: Little bit more Brian. I don't know why Brian gets
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: such a run. Hey, so we're not talking about chat GPT,
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: although we have, and we're not talking about your fledgling
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: mccene career. We're talking about for those people who read
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: the copy and the title. Yes, so we've opened the door.
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: You know. I reckon about once every fifty shows, maybe
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: maybe once every seventy five shows, I talk about training
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: in some way, shape or form. So every seventy five shows,
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: over fifteen hundred shows, that would be about twenty episodes,
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: I guess, and I get asked about many things, And
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: yesterday I did a yesterday I recorded which is up today,
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: a podcast on Me and God, which made me feel
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: very vulnerable and scared, and at the end of it,
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: I finished it and I nearly went delete because I thought, ah,
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: people are going to just anyway. I didn't, so it's
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: up and surprisingly got good feedback. But one of the
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: other things that I get asked a lot about, other
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: than what do you think happens when we die? And
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: what's the meaning of life and all of those deep
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: philosophical existential kind of queries, is shit around training. Understandably,
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: I'm the guy who owned gyms and is the exercise
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: science guy and all that stuff. So let's I want
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: to talk today about, I guess, in really broad sweeping
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: terms around just some of the ways that people are
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: Let's be kind with this, and let's say inefficient, not
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: as efficient as they could be, not as productive or
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: effective as they could be, and quite often through no faults.
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: Definitely through no intention, but quite often through no fault
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: of their own. So, and I want you to jump in.
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: You're a trainer, you've worked in gyms, you've even owned
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: part owned gyms, and you're an athlete and all that,
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: so you're more than qualified to contribute. And what I'm
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: about share is not in order of importance or commonality.
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: But I'm going to start with people who make the
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: right effort. That is, they try hard, they put in
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: the effort, they train regularly. Intensity is good, attitudes good.
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: But they're following the wrong program. And there's a lot
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: of people who for their body, for their goals, for
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: their needs, taking into account their medical staff, what they
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: want to do be create change with their body, they
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: are not following an ideal program for them. So it's like,
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: you know, taking taking the wrong drug for the wrong illness.
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: So you want to get better, You're being disciplined with
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: taking whatever it is that you're taking. It just so
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: happens that it's not ideal. You know. It's like maybe
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: you've got to really saw back and you need something
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: that's like for neural pain, and you're taking a panadole.
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: It's kind of doing something, but it's not optimal. Right,
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: terrible analogy with the drugs, but it's kind of like that.
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: So the idea that any program is better than no
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: program is kind of true unless it injures you. Right,
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: So then the question is, Okay, well, how do I
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: know if I'm doing the right program. Well, if you're
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: doing the right program, it is a it is something
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: that has been individually designed for you. Buy someone with knowledge,
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: real knowledge, skill, understanding, expertise, somebody who has taken more
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: than five minutes, somebody who has asked you a lot
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: of questions, who understands your training background, your medical history,
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: your physiology, hopefully someone who has done some kind of
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: assessment on you, and then somebody who has engaged with
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: you for quite a while, red your goals, re your intentions,
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: and then based on all of that, they design you
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: a program. Now, even that doesn't guarantee that it's the
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: best program, but it makes it more likely. So I
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: would think that the vast majority of people are not
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: following a great program for them. I think a lot
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: of people are training and what they're doing is not terrible,
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: but it's maybe not optimal. And the difference between doing
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: a program, let's go back to the numerical kind of
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: classification as per TIFFs MCing. You know a lot of people.
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: You know, if the best program for you is ten
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: out of ten, a lot of people are doing a
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: six or seven out of ten program in terms of design,
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: individual design, and suitability while making an eleven out of
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: ten effort. So great effort with a substandard program will
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: never produce optimal results. So the flip side of that
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: is right program, wrong effort. So now we've got the
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: converse or the opposite of that, where somebody's got a
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: great program, great resources, they've got everything that they need,
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: but they are either training too hard or too easy.
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: So you know, they are just training so intensely that
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: they're going to be perpetually fucked, or they're going to
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: get injured, or they're going to go into the next
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: training SEF session under recovered, so their body is not
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: back to where it needs to be before it gets stressed. Again,
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: keeping in mind that exercise is stress. Exercise is physiological
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: stress that we put on our body to create physiological adaptation, improvement, growth, strength, power, speed, agility, flexibility,
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: aerobic endurance, muscular endurance, all of these fitness variables. We
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: try to create a response in that space by doing
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: something to our body. And the opposite of obviously too
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: hard is too easy. And then so there's a bunch
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: of people who I would call have like almost intensity delusion,
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: and by that I mean they tell themselves that they're
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: training intensely and they're training at the right level to
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: get the result but they don't really understand what their
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: potentially is. And this is tricky because this, again is
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: one of those subjective things. But over time you can
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: kind of figure out what you can do. Now, we
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: don't want people taking their body to the limit, and
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: of course, especially if you're a newbie. By the way,
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: if you're a newbie, here's another mistake. Too much, too hard,
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: too fast, if you're brand new to the gym, or
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: in fact, any kind of training like let's say, for example,
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: Craig Harper, the guy who trains every day in the
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: gym and walks every day, which is not exactly intense.
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: But let's say tonight, I go out and go right, fuck,
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: I'm going to become a tennis player, and so I
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: train for an hour on the tennis court, sprinting up
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: and back and serving and bullying and lobbing and smashing.
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: I won't move for three weeks because my body ain't
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: conditioned to tennis. So the right thing for me would
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: be a bit of a hit up, not too hard,
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: not too easy, work at five, six, seven out of ten,
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: maybe bit of jogging, bitter stretching twenty thirty minutes fuck off,
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: and then build on that so you know, many times
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: I've seen people in the gym who are consistent and
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: who even have a good attitude, but they don't understand
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: how hard they can train safely. I'm not talking about
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: putting yourself at risk or being a hero in the gym,
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: or getting you know, trapped in ego to see how
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: much you can lift, but rather realizing that there's a
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: point where your body will be forced to adapt but
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: up and to that point, you're really just going through
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: the motions and maybe maintaining what you've got, Like you
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: won't build muscle strength, power, speed, all of those things
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: that I mentioned unless your body needs to. So if
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: you go in the gym every day, and every day
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: you can do the same kind of workout on the
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: same kind of machines, the same movements, the same sets,
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: and the same kind of reps or the same speed
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: or the same volume and the same intensity, there is
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: no need for your body to adapt anymore. So at
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: very best, you're going to kind of stay where you
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: are right and over time, if you don't adapt up
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: or if you don't step up the intensity, you will
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: go backwards just because of aging and maybe your diet's
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: not complementary and maybe you're underslap. So a program that
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: is not progressive in nature is not the program that
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: you want if your goal is progression. And there are
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: a shitload of people in gyms around the world, not
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: just Australia and not just gyms, but any training environment,
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: be it a swimming pool, bet a running track, bet
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: a karate dojo, be CrossFit, box whatever, boxing gyms. There
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: are a lot of people who basically are doing a
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: version of the same thing every time they go into
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: that space, while then being frustrated about why their body
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: is not changing. Well, the reason is it doesn't need to.
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: So like for example, with me where I'm at in
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: my sixty year old body, I don't aspire to be
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: any stronger. I aspire to keep what I've got for
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: the next fucking decade or more so, I'm in a
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: I guess a maintenance phase with my strength. If I
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: can keep my strength and muscle mass, the level of
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: lean tissue that I have on this body for as
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: long as I can, I'm happy. If Tiff and Ice
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: tonight went right, We're gonna do fucking yoga together twice
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: a week. My goal would be to get better at
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: yoga to improve my flexibility, range of movement around the joints,
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: because even for a sixty old old, my flexibility is dogshit,
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: But my strength for a sixty year old is probably
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: somewhere in the realm of exceptional. So I'm happy with that.
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: But or we might say my fitness, like my potential
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: fitness is a ten, my aerobic fitness right now, I'm
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: a six. So you know, if we want to really
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: dumb it down and go there are two kinds of workout,
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: a maintenance and a progressive workout. You need to figure
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: out whether or not you need to be doing which one.
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: So if you say, like if you were sitting in
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: front of me and you and I were chatting, you
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: said to me, harps, I want my body to change,
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: whatever that means fit a lena, lighter, stronger, run, faster, jump, higher,
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: less back pain, lower blood pressure, better posture, less hunchy,
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: less chipotic, more neutral head position, blah blah blah. I
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: want to change my body. And then I'm going to say, well,
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: your program needs to be varied and progressive and you
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: need to have a fucking crack the end. If it
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: isn't and you're not, then don't expect much other than maintenance. Now,
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: if your body is where you want it to be
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: and you are content, then don't change a thing. You know,
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: keep doing you know, varied a little bit, but you know,
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: and I think if we were being honest, most people
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: listening to this would say I'm not where I want
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: to be. A percentage would. And to those of you
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: who are content with where you're at, well done, carry on.
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: For those of you who wants you don't need to
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: overthink it. You don't need to go and do an
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: exercise science degree. You don't need a million dollars worth
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: of equipment. You just need to go. You know, what's
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: the thing that I should do that I avoid? And
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: it might be you know what's hilarious is the crab
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: turned up yesterday and he goes to me, guess what
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: I now? This is the crab Everyone who's fifty eight,
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: who's a bodybuilder X three time mister Australia Pro Bodybuilder,
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: fucking muscles on his eyelids. I go, what'd you do?
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: He goes, I went for a run? I nell he
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: fucking fell over. I'm like, that's like me doing Jazus
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: size ah shout out to jazus size. It's not bad,
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: it's just I don't do it, and I'm like, well,
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: how did that go?
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: You know?
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: And so he could bench press with his eyes closed,
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: but for him, running five hundred meters is like a marathon.
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: You know. I'm like good, good, and he's like, yeah,
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: I'm going to start to do a bit. I'm like great.
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: And because this highly trained individual is doing something that
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: he never does, his body's like fucking hell, like he
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: will if he ran for the next month, he ran
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: even somewhere between half a k and two k's every day,
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: he would make massive progress. It would make massive improvements
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: because he's introducing a new stimulus. And so when we
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: break down fitness into you know, strength, power, speed, muscular endurance,
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: aerobic endurance, balance, coordination, and even things like a little
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: weird like spatial awareness and all of those things, we
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: can say, oh, you know what, I'm I'm quite fit.
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: Like some people are very aerobically fit, but they there's
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: zero chance that they could do one chin up, right,
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: there's zero chance that they could do five proper push ups.
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: So that doesn't mean you've got to start doing chins
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: or push ups today, but maybe it means that, look,
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: you know, in terms of keep the cardio up, keep
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: doing what you doing. Heart lung fitness is incredibly important
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: and valuable from a range of perspectives. But also being
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: strong if you are forty, forty five or old, as
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: I've said too many times, but being strong and lifting weights,
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: building lean tissue. You know, muscle is metabolically active and
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: it burns a lot more calories than so an eighty
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: kilo muscular body will burn a lot more calories at
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: rest than an eighty kilo body with higher body fat percentage,
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: even if it is twin identical brothers or sisters. Because
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: muscle is more metabolically active. It helps you stay lean
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: and helps you build weight. Training helps you build bone
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: density and function. It improves cognition. There are a plethora
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: of benefits. Right, But if you're like me, you're the
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: weight training guy, you do fuck all. Maybe you need
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: to go do some stretching classes, Maybe you need to
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: have a swim once or twice a week. You know.
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: So it's not like this is good and that is bad.
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: It's like, what if you think about all of the
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: fitness components, what component are you lacking? You know, like
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: I was talking to I took a risk. The other
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: day a guy came up, was talking to me in
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: the cafe and I don't know him well, but I
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: know him a little bit and he has I won't
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: doesn't matter. He has a job that he works at
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: a desk all day. And I said how old are you?
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: And he goes forty eight? And he was asking me
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: about stuff. We were just talking. I said, can I
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: tell you something that I'm a little bit scared to
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: tell you? And he goes sure. I go, You've got
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: fucking terrible posture and he goes, oh, I know, and
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: he does. He looks like fucking quasi modo, like he's
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: like he's hunchy as fuck.
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: I don't know why you've only got five friends apps? Yeah,
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: I know, and one's bland, the AOI guy.
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: One of them, two of them are AI. But he
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: said to me, ah, and he rolled his eyes, and
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: he wasn't offended at all. He said, I know, I know,
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: And he said what can I do? And so I
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: told him what he can do? And I mean, like
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: the reason that I am well, firstly, I asked him. Secondly,
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: I was pretty sure I wouldn't offend him, and I'm
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: pretty good at guessing that. Thirdly, if I thought it
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: was a person who would be offended, I probably wouldn't
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: have brought it up at all, especially seeing as they
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: didn't ask. But you know, I'm and I'm digressing here,
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: but I'm more interested in helping that dude get good
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: posture over the long term than sparing his feelings over
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: the next two minutes. You know, because I didn't say
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: anything that wasn't true, and the fact that I went,
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: you got fucking terrible posture, he laughed and he you know,
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: and I went, look, but here's the good news. You
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: can fix it. So it might be your posture's rubbish.
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: It might be you have a week lower back. It
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: might be you can't run out of sight in the
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: middle of a foggy night. Right. It might be you
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: can't hang off a bar and hold your body weight
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: for ten seconds. It might be you can't do a
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: bridge or a prone hold for more than twenty seconds. Right.
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: And it ain't about what you look like, and it
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: ain't about comparison of numbers or outcomes with anyone else.
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: It's about this idea, this ever present reality. I should
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: say that you cannot get another body, and you cannot
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: get younger. You can lower your biological age maybe, but
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: you definitely can't lower your chronological age. And sick sickness
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: and declining health and declining function are inevitable in that
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: they will happen over your life time, but the rate
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: at which that shit happens is largely within our control.
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: So sadly, most people in our culture are reactive, not proactive,
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: And by that I mean they wait until something breaks,
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: or they get sick, or they get terrified, or they
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: get a diagnosis, and then they take action. And so potentially,
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: for some of you today, maybe this is a little
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: fucking light bulb going off in the back of your brain. Gone,
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: I'm not sick or broken yet, but I will be
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: one day. So let's see if we can push that
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: date right back. Does that make sense? All right, I'm
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: going to keep going. You interrupt if you feel compelled.
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: I've got a couple more so. My next kind of
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: I guess mistake that I see people make is too
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: much emotion and too little strategy. And by that, for example,
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: I've said this example once or twice over fifteen hundred episodes,
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: but it used to amuse me when people would come
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: to my gym up on the highway. I had ten
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: treadmills across the front of the gym that looked out
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: the windows, and some people would come and use the
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: same treadmill every day. Now, there might be seven available treadmills,
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: but if someone's on there now, they're all identical treadmills.
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: It's not like they're different ones. They're all the same brand,
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: the same model, the same motor, purchased on the same day.
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: And people would have this emotional attachment and I go
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: jump on the one. No, I don't like that one.
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: I'm like, they're actually identical, and they'd have this they go, no,
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: they're not. I'm like, they're fucking the same. I own them,
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: they're the same. Or people who Another example of too
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: much emotion and too little strategy is people who keep
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: only doing the thing that they like that actually doesn't
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: produce the results that they need. Now, I'm all for
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: doing what we like, as long as the thing that
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: we're doing that we like is getting us toward our goal. Right.
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: If it was just up to me, I'd never stretch,
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: I'd never run, I'd just fucking lift heavy things because
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: that's what I'm good at and that's what I like,
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: and that's my kind of happy place. But I also
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: know that I need to look after my heart and lungs.
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: I also need that. I know that I need to
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: look after my joints and my mobility and flexibility. So
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: if we can, you know, hopefully we can find an
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: exercise model or program that ticks both boxes. But it
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: is important to say and acknowledge that there will be
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: times when we need to do things that we don't
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: want to do, and that's where we need to turn
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: down the oh, what do I like and turn up
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: the what do I need? So more strategic like what
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: is my what am I lacking? And what do I need?
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: What does my body need? And what is the desired outcome?
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: And what is the intervention I need to put in place?
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: Even if I don't like some of it, I will
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: like the result. I will like being able to do
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: five chin ups or twenty pushups. I will like having
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: better posture. I will like having a different body composition.
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: I will like being able to run five kilometers. I
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: might not like the process of creating the outcome, but
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: I'll fucking love the outcome. And so while we want
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: to be excited at times, and we want to enjoy
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: what we do as much as we can. I think
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: it's also important to sometimes turn down the emotion and
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: turn up the strategy so that we can make good
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: decisions and implement appropriate protocols without trying to sound like
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: a scientist to get the outcome we want. You know,
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: there's no way for me to build flexibility without stretching.
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: Do I like stretching? I do not? Do I need
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: to stretch? I do? Do I like the idea of
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: being more flexible and the reality of being more flexible
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: one hundred percent? Will I love the journey on the way?
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: Probably not as that. Okay, I've got a couple more.
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: My next one is the propensity that some people have
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: to follow what I would call a generic program, and
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: that is a program that they got off the internet.
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: That is a program that they got because their cousin
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: does this program and sent them a fucking email of
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: the program, or because they they ripped it out of
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: a magazine or off they jotted it down off the
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: back of a doney door. I don't know, it doesn't matter,
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: but the idea of just following something that wasn't really
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: created for your body or your goals, you know, and
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: this some people might then say, yeah, what about group training?
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: That is a very good question. So even though no
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: one asked it, I'm going to fucking answer it. That's
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: how I roll. That's how I rolled, Tiff. So here's
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: what I love about group training, and TIF is a
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: group exercise coach. Among other things. What I love about
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: group training is in a group, you're more likely to
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: work at a higher intensity tick. In a group, you're
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: more likely now not everyone, but most people, to have
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: a better attitude and maybe to have more fun. Tick.
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: You're more likely to create social connections, which helps you
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: be more consistent with your exercise tick. If you train
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: with the right coach, you are safer because they are
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: correcting shit form, so they are all the ticks. The
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: potential cross is that you might be in a class
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: that ain't right for you, with a coach that ain't
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: right for you, doing a kind of training that ain't
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: right for you. Overall, I think group training is done
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: the right way with the right person. I think it's great.
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: I think it's great. You just need to make sure
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: that as an individual within that group, Like I know,
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: if I go and do TIFFs boxing class on Saturday,
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: and there's twenty people and I'm a newbie. I know
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: that because she's and you were going to say this, Tiff,
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: I know. I know that she's going to modify it
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: for me because she's good. I know that she's going
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: to give me a modified version of what everyone else
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: is doing because I'm a brand newbie and I don't
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: have their fitness, or their skill or their understanding. Am
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: I right with that?
• 35:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 35:47
  Speaker 2: The other thing I was going to say when you
• 35:49
  Speaker 2: said before group training, you train harder. Some people will
• 35:54
  Speaker 2: and some people won't. It depends how you're wired for it.
• 35:57
  Speaker 3: So I'll train.
• 35:57
  Speaker 2: I'm competitive, I'll train twice is hard. Yeah, some people
• 36:01
  Speaker 2: need a one on one coach in order to actually
• 36:05
  Speaker 2: because they'll hide behind you know, it's fun, but they'll
• 36:08
  Speaker 2: hide behind everybody else's work great and their cruise.
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: Motherfuckers. The next one is just like a really dumb,
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: obvious thing to say, and people will roll their eyes.
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: But it's one of the biggest reasons that people aren't.
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: Let's just use the term in shape whatever that means consistently,
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: and that is they are inconsistent. There are very few
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: people who start an exercise program today, the seventeenth of
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: June two thousand. They're very few people who go, right,
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: that's it. I'm starting today, who in one year from
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: today will look back. If one hundred people start today
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: and five people are consistent for the next year, that's
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: a pretty good outcome. Most people stop and start. If
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: we're talking about percentages of the overall population, even gym members,
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: we know there are a there's a very fluctuating percentage
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: of people who come and go, there's a big percentage.
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: And then of just the general community, you go, you
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: know what, I'm going to get fit, strong, whatever. They
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: start something and then they stop. It is statistically the
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: vast majority. So, without contradicting myself, I'm going to go
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: back now and say a seven out of ten program
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: that you do consistently is way better than a ten
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: out of ten program that you never fucking do you know?
• 37:42
  Speaker 2: Give me your top two tips for those people. What
• 37:45
  Speaker 2: are the top two things to stop being inconsistent?
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so a couple of things, So can I give
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: you more than two? One is regular assessment some kind
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: of accountability. Like accountability comes in many forms. So for example,
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: you go, well, every twenty eight days, I'm checking in
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: with ARP. So I'm checking in with TIF. I'm going
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: to do get a body composition test, or I'm going
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: to do a fitness test or a strength test, or
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: I'm just going to check in and I'm going to
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: fill out a diary. In those twenty eight days, I'm
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: going to go see TIF. I'm going to sit down,
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: I'm going to have a two hour session. She's going
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: to read my diary, give me feedback. She's going to
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: write me a new program for the month. We're going
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: to singcome Bay, have an arm wrestle, and I'm going
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: to fuck off.
• 38:25
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: So, anything that will help you be consistent, that could
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: be having a training partner. We know that even just
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: like the fact that I train with the crab every
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: day means I'm more likely to go, the fact that
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: I train with him means I'm more likely to statistically
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: train at a better level. And so accountability comes in
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: many forms. But what you don't want to rely on
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: is you don't want to rely on motivation and inspiration.
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: As I've said a million times. And also, and this
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: is a bit more fucking actually feely philosophical, but in
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: some ways very very practical if you can execute, and
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: that is, get clear about your non negotiables around everything,
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: like what is okay, not what do you want to
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: do or hope to do, but what will you absolutely,
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: unequivocally fucking do day in and day out, no matter what,
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: barring some kind of major problem in your life, but
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: that aside, what is the thing that you will do,
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: not want to do, not intend to do, not hope do,
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: hope to do, but what is the thing that you
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: will do? So when we and I mean like, there's
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: a big difference between identifying your non negotiables and then
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: executing them, right. But if if you're not executing them,
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: then they're not non negotiables. It's just fucking more words
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: in the wind, Like tell me you know you might
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: go for the next year, I'm going to do a
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: minimum of thirty minutes cardio a day. And that could
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: be sprinting like a fucking cray person up and down ramps,
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: or it could be strolling around suburbia with headphones on.
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: But I'm going to do something that's not incidental or
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: occupational where I'm actually moving my body. Now, everyone including
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: my mum could do that, right, Let's do one more.
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: The last one I'm going to do, I'm going to
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: say is just not enough volume. Some people come into
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: the gym and they do in the in a one
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: hour session in the gym, if you add it up
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: the time that they're actually lifting or training some people
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: not all people, of course, but it might be twenty minutes.
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: And if you watch me in the crab, that might
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: be four minutes an hour.
• 40:48
  Speaker 3: Say anything, Yeah.
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: Well it's I'm put up my hand like there are
• 40:52
  Speaker 1: sometimes when I leave the gym and I have not
• 40:55
  Speaker 1: done enough. Right. So anyway, there is some food for thought.
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: Anything you want to add or change or suggest. Tiffany
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: and Cook, No.
• 41:04
  Speaker 2: I no. When you talked about consistency, I was just
• 41:06
  Speaker 2: going to upset it before. But I was just going
• 41:08
  Speaker 2: to say, having flexibility in that consistency. Consistency, so like that,
• 41:14
  Speaker 2: knowing the balance between listening to your body and just
• 41:18
  Speaker 2: doing it, doing a thing. So if you're you get
• 41:21
  Speaker 2: up and you can't sprint, just get up and go
• 41:23
  Speaker 2: for a walk, but do like replace it instead of canceling,
• 41:26
  Speaker 2: replace the thing for a substitute thing that still ticks
• 41:30
  Speaker 2: that this is my fitness thing.
• 41:32
  Speaker 1: Yes, perfect. I just thought of one more, which I'll
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: chuck in. I'm not even going to charge people for it.
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: Fuck it, you can have it. You can have it,
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: You're welcome. My last one is shit form. Shit form.
• 41:46
  Speaker 1: So you you, as a boxer and a boxing coach,
• 41:50
  Speaker 1: you would watch some some nuffies on the bag and go,
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: oh my god, and then you probably you even see
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: trainers who can't box coaching people with pads, going what
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: the actual fuck you're going to injure them? And if
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: they ever actually need to throw a punch, they don't
• 42:12
  Speaker 1: really know what to do right, And so you know, like,
• 42:15
  Speaker 1: let's start with good technique and good form from the start.
• 42:20
  Speaker 1: That could be anything like what I just described throwing
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: a punch. It could be you know, people who are
• 42:26
  Speaker 1: doing movements in the gym and they're only doing half
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: the range of movement. You know, they're doing a bench
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: press and they're moving, you know, the full range of
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: movement is let's say forty centimeters, but they're doing twenty
• 42:37
  Speaker 1: centimeters and thinking they've just done ten reps when they've
• 42:41
  Speaker 1: actually done ten half reps. And not only have they
• 42:43
  Speaker 1: then done ten half reps, they've missed out the part
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: of the movement. The bottom part that requires the most strength,
• 42:51
  Speaker 1: so they're not getting benefit. You know. It might be
• 42:53
  Speaker 1: that they're doing reps too quick, too slow. It might
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: be that their posture is atrocious, you know. So it's
• 43:01
  Speaker 1: just all of that. We want to train sensibly, progressively, consistently, appropriately,
• 43:09
  Speaker 1: and we want to make sure that we are doing
• 43:12
  Speaker 1: it with good technique. What's the I always, you know,
• 43:16
  Speaker 1: say to people that is, once they've got a base
• 43:18
  Speaker 1: and they're good to go, do the heaviest you can
• 43:22
  Speaker 1: do with awesome form, right and if you can't do
• 43:28
  Speaker 1: three reps of awesome form, that weight is too heavy,
• 43:32
  Speaker 1: probably five or six reps. So take it down to
• 43:35
  Speaker 1: a weight where you can do what is for you.
• 43:38
  Speaker 1: Because what because heavy is relative. If you can do
• 43:42
  Speaker 1: five or six heavy whatever the movement is heavy reps
• 43:47
  Speaker 1: with good form, then great, you know. So for matters TIF,
• 43:54
  Speaker 1: if people want to box with you, if people want
• 43:57
  Speaker 1: to come to one of your groups in Melbourne, can
• 43:59
  Speaker 1: they do that?
• 44:00
  Speaker 3: Well?
• 44:01
  Speaker 2: I'm not currently running any of my workshops, which I
• 44:04
  Speaker 2: do intermittently, but I do. I have one group class
• 44:07
  Speaker 2: that runs out of PC YIC in Sint Kilda, which
• 44:10
  Speaker 2: is at nine am on a Saturday that's the only
• 44:12
  Speaker 2: group session that I have available, So come and do that,
• 44:18
  Speaker 2: and it's a really cool group You want to do
• 44:19
  Speaker 2: a group session.
• 44:21
  Speaker 1: I want to do a group session. I've spoken about it.
• 44:23
  Speaker 1: I just you know, you know what. I would do
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: a group session for free, like I would do a
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: not Saturday at nine, but I would do a group session.
• 44:33
  Speaker 1: I'd love to just do one for the community and go,
• 44:37
  Speaker 1: I'm going to be at this space on this day,
• 44:40
  Speaker 1: but without all the bullshit of council REGs and fucking
• 44:43
  Speaker 1: insurance and tickie. I'm like, let's just turn up and
• 44:46
  Speaker 1: have a workout, shall we. It's just like in the
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: old days you could just do that. Now you need
• 44:51
  Speaker 1: to get fucking five lawyers at every session and get
• 44:55
  Speaker 1: ninety seven people to sign a fucking disclaimer. I'm like,
• 44:59
  Speaker 1: fucking the old day. Just turn up your motherfuckers with
• 45:02
  Speaker 1: some stinky sweatpants and let's go not now now fucking
