• 1:50
  Speaker 2: those questions, he will answer them. We will grab the
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: ones that pop up and ask. So Um, I think, uh,
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: first question, Nick, if you happen to be ready, but
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: if not, I can actually stretch this out a little
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: bit longer.
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: That's okay. I got it. We can get to it. Yeah.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: The water pump apparently decided to break on my truck
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: and all the water went straight down. So it didn't
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: even steam or anything. Uh, so I just saw the
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: red light come on for the heat and I was like, Oh,
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: butter pull over. And I pulled over and there was
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: a little water in the engine compartment, but not too
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: much or the coolant. It all went straight down into
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: the ground. So it is what it is. I managed
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: to get ahold of my buddy, Ronnie and Ronnie came
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: with a tow cable and we just limped that thing
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: back to the house. So now I got to get
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: ahold of mechanics while I'm getting working on it.
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: But that's it.
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: So without further ado, question one, Mark Phillips has broke
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: the Hercules hold record at 60 years old. Yes, he did.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: Having competed against him for years, What made his grip
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: sink so extraordinary? What's the story about Mark that fans
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: probably never heard? Okay, we're going to do a couple
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: of these. Mark's hands are– like my hands are not small, okay? Yes.
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: His are literally an inch longer than mine and thicker.
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: His hands are ginormous. And then he trains his grip
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: on top of that. So you got both– on top
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: of that. So he's got a, he's got very large hands,
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: which doesn't hurt. And then on top of that, he
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: trains the heck out of his grip. And as you
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: get older, grips, one of those things, and if you
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: don't break your fingers and you don't do anything stupid,
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: your grip stays really good for quite some time. Just
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: look at, Oh, it's like 80 now. And Oh, it's
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: still doing where he's yeah. He's eight. He's over 80
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: now and he's still doing a grip contest. So, Yeah,
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: the grip's one of the last things to go. So
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: Mark's grip is still there. The story that people don't
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: realize is Mark's a very soft-spoken man. Very soft-spoken. Yes.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: Very nice guy. You rarely ever hear him. People almost
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: never hear that guy raise his voice, like ever. He's
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: very soft-spoken, great guy. But we all went out to
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: dinner one night after the Fit Expo. And we had
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: been going all day. It was the end of the day.
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: It was 10 events in two days. And we were
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: all beat. And we were all hungry. And we were
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: hanging out there. There wasn't a lot of good food
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: at the Fit Expo that year. So we were all
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: very excited to eat. And we went to the Yard
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: House in LA. And we're all sitting there. And we
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: all ordered our food. And then all of a sudden
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: all the food started coming. Well, Mark didn't get his food.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: He ordered a steak and they never brought his steak.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: So after about 20 minutes, we're all just about done eating.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: Mark's like, the waiter comes over. He's like, Hey man,
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: where's my food? He goes, I've been waiting forever. And
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: then they bring his food and the steaks burnt.
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: He's like, what the heck is this?
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: I'm hungry. We're just like, Oh my God. He goes,
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: we're really sorry, sir. They brought him a snack. Isn't
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: it like an order for free? Yeah. And they didn't
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: charge him for the steak. Obviously they remade his steak
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: and brought it out. But Mark was a little scary
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: when he raised his voice. So it was, it was
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: pretty interesting. Cause a guy that stays that calm and
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: is that, that mellow all the time for, to listen
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: to him raise his voice a little bit. I'm hungry.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: You know, you're like, Okay, so cool, Mark. But yeah,
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: that's a little story that people just don't expect. All right,
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: question number two. The Rogue Championship. Hey, Nick, Trey Winchell
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: won three of the six events while Mochi Hooper went
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: from leading after day one to finish sixth overall. When
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: you were competing, how did your mental recovery after a
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: bad event? What separates athletes who fight back And winning
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: from those who struggled to regain the momentum. Okay. A
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: lot of things came into factor with this. They really did. Trey, one,
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: was just on fire. I mean, he was still not
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: doing too bad that first day. So he was in
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: the running. He was having a pretty solid contest already.
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: And we'll get into that. But it wasn't that Hooper
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: had a bad event and he lost his– Hooper's back
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: has been, he's been struggling with that for, Oh, since
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: the first time he tried that 1100 pound deadlift with Thor.
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: And then again, the second time he heard it pretty
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: good on that second pull of 1100 pounds that he
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: got off the ground. But that, that kind of hurt
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: his back pretty bad. And he's been nursing that and
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: trying to get healthy from that for quite some time.
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: And he just thought the natural talent and, god-given ability
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: would carry him through which it normally would but this
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: is like an upper level world-class event he strung together
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: great perfectly for world's strongest man and then you know
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: went and tried to do that deadlift again and just
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: hasn't been quite on point since he's now going to
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: get back to health you know get healthy get back
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: to training get back to everything you He'll be the
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: same Mitchell Hooper you've seen. He just needs to take
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: the time to get healed up all the way, which
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: he will do. I mean, the guy's an expert in
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: that as well.
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: Recovery, recovery, recovery.
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: Recovery. So I don't see that being an issue for him.
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: But my hat off to Trey because I don't even
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: know if Mitchell was, you know, perfectly healthy, he was
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: going to pull that off against Trey.
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: I really don't.
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: Trey was just that good.
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: I mean– Yeah, well, you know, this event was tailored
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: to Trey except for one event.
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: Well, yeah, the grip stuff. And he still did okay
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: on the grip stuff. And Martins, what a show he
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: put on. He really did. He was right there. He
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: was a point out. And then a point by him
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: was Reno Null. You know, come back four points later
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: was Andre Fajuto. Fajuto?
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: I always mess up Andre's name. I am so sorry
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: about it. Um, at 44 or 37 points. So that's
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: quite a distance back. Um, and I, me personally, I
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: think that's just the amount of shows he's done in
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: the last like four weeks. Yeah.
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: Well, you know, he competed one week before this and
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: the week before that.
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah. So, uh, he's had a lot of contests really
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: close together. I think he just didn't have that extra
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: gear because of it. Um, yeah, look out for that guy.
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: I'm just going to tell you right now, if he
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: starts scaling back and limiting the amount of contests he does,
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: like if he's not under a contractual obligation, just goes, okay, well,
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: I'm getting ready for these things. And here's where I'm
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: inserting myself. You're going to see him do really well.
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: The thing is, is a lot of guys get up
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: to that top five, top 10 level. world's strongest man
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: and they go to so many shows in the next
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: year year and a half they get beaten up they
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: start getting themselves beat up pretty good and that's where
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: you separate kind of the men from the boys so
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: the kind of the guys that have an okay coach
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: from having somebody that's really good Cause somebody really good
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: is going to be like, okay, well I know you
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: need the money, but we're not going to do that show. Exactly.
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: Just that point. Um, it's great. They'll still invite you
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: to other things because of who you are and how
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: strong you are, but you need recovery time. So, um,
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: Patty Hayes did great. He finished fifth with 36 points. Uh,
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: Mitchell Hooper was six with 33, uh, Pablo Cordiaco was
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: 7th with 30. Austin Andrade, 26.5. And Thomas Evans, 26.4.
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: Both not kind of what those two expected. And I
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: actually didn't expect that as well. But they'll both be back.
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: They're both fierce competitors. Yeah. And work very hard. So
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: they'll both be back. Oh, yeah. Event one was the
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: deadlift ladder. It was kilos-wise, it was 318 kilos. which
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: is just right about 700, 340 kilos, which I think
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: is 749, 363 kilos, which is 799, 800 pounds, because
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: 365 is 804, and 385 kilos, which is 848.5 pounds,
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: which on here it says 849, but it's 848.
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: Martins did six total reps, so there's only four bars.
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: So he got two extra reps with the last bar,
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: which is pretty impressive. Reynonel did the same, except for
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: not as fast. He did it in 42 seconds. Reynonel
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: did it six reps in 55.90 seconds. Patty Hayes did
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: six reps in 66.40 seconds. And then Mitchell Hooper did
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: five and 52.53. So his back's a little off, but
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: still fourth isn't bad. Trey did five reps at 56.09,
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: which gave him fifth place. That's good points. Austin Andrade
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: did five reps and 69.08. Andre, this to me is
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: where those contests probably hurt Andre a little bit. He
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: did four reps in 37.09. I think that's probably one
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: of the places because he's a much better deadlifter than that.
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: Thomas Evans, four reps with 47.95. It's not great, not
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: bad for him. I think he can actually probably do
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: them all. But the travel and everything else. And then
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: Pablo Correaca. Pablo, this is his worst event.
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: Last minute.
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: He's last minute, and this is also his worst event.
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: The deadlift is just still his Achilles heel. It's getting better,
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: but it still kind of holds him back. He got
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: two reps. So he got 749, and he missed the
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: 800 pounds on the third one. So he got two
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: reps in. Next comes the Viking press. Big shocker, Trey
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: Mitchell got 15. Yep.
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: Yep, he's pretty good at that.
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: He was slightly winded, at least in the video. You
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: know what I mean? He was like doing cardio. I
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: was like, yeah, with 397 pounds. Yeah, exactly.
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: And then Andre got 15 reps as well. It just
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: shows how good of an overhead presser that guy really is. Yes.
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: Both of those guys.
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: God damn.
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean, those two were going head-to-head at World's
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: Strongest Man in the overhead, and I think Andre just
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: overpicked the weight. But then again, Trey punched that last
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: one that he did pretty darn confidently. And probably, I
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: remember I was yelling, jumping up and down, go for
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: more because he could set the record for world's strongest man.
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: The record for world's strongest man. The world record's more
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: than that. But he could still broken the record, the
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: all-time record of what's the most ever done while competing
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: in world's strongest man.
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: Still held by Big Z.
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: Still held by Big Z. He had an opportunity to
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: take his name off, and he didn't do it. Hopefully,
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: he does it next time. Mitchell Hooper got 13 reps.
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: That's not really going to affect his back very much.
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: And that, again, that's a third place. It puts him
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: right where he wants to be. Martins got 11, which
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: was solid. Thomas Evans got 10. Pablo Cordiaca, to my surprise,
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: got 8. Now, this is an event Pablo, I would
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: expect to be up in the 11, 12, or probably 13,
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: 14 rep range for him because of his technique and stuff,
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: but could be a little off again. Same with Austin Andrade. I,
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: I thought for sure that guy would probably knock out
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: in that 14, 15 rep range. Um, right now only
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: got two reps, which is a little surprising. Um, yeah,
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: I don't know what happened there. And then, uh, Patty
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: Hayes got one. So Patty's, Patty's going to kind of
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: struggle with the overhead stuff a little bit, but that's okay.
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: We go on to event three, which is the Conan's wheel.
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: It's 573 pounds on the bar in the hands. So
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: when you pick it up and you're holding it, it
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: is a full 573. So that's 206 kilos. That's pretty heavy.
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying?
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: Patty did 899 degrees. So it's 360 for a turn.
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: So that's 720 for two turns. So he went over
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: two turns with that. Ray O'Neill did great. He did 869.
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: Mitchell Hooper did 837. Again, third, and that's in a
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: good spot, which that's what put him leading after the
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: first day. He didn't have any bad events the first
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: day except for the deadlift where he was fifth, I believe. Fourth. Yeah.
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: So fourth, third, third. Put you in first place at
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: the end of the first day. Yep. Pablo Cordiaca, which
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: I expected him to do better on this. He did 772.
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: Andre did 739. Another thing that doing all those contests
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: probably took it on a little bit. Yeah. Martins, to
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: my complete shock, only did 464. You know, he can
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: front carry. So I don't know what the hell happened
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: with that. And then traded 419.
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: I thought that was going to be his event.
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: I knew that was going to be kind of a
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: rough event for him, but some technique work on that,
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: and I think he'll be fine. Austin Andrade and both
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: Thomas Evans both finished at 366. Yeah, that rounds it out.
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, day one was intense.
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: Day one was rough. Day two, Yoke carry into log.
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: The yoke was 1,050 pounds and the log was 364 pounds. Now,
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: I did say that if Trey could get a decent
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: time in the yoke, he could lift those logs really
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: fast and have no problems. Just one motion.
• 17:17
  Speaker 3: No problems. Exactly.
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: And that's exactly what happened. Yeah. So Trey won the event.
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: He did eight total in a minute 52.16 seconds. Andre
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: finished second, seven total at one minute, 58 seconds, 0.47.
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: Thomas Evans, he got five. Yes.
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: And Thomas Evans is still alive.
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he's still alive. The one went behind his head
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: and it looked horrific in the video. I was so
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: happy to see him like get up and just kind
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: of walk away from that.
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, like nothing happened. Yeah.
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: It was the internet.
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah. That happened at, um, at Britain's strongest. That happened
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: to Eddie Hall, Britain's strongest one year in Doncaster. And
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: that was also very kind of scary, but wasn't as
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: scary as Tom's. I mean, that was, I'm just super
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: glad he walked away from that. Um, when she finished
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: third in that Austin Andrade got five total in, uh,
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: one 52, uh, Point zero one, Martins finished fifth place,
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: which kept him not a bad kind of like a
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: comeback from getting sixth in the in the Conan's wheel
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: to getting fifth. So it's not bad, not great. But
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: you have other people that are down that are now
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: that we're now placing up in there, except for Trey,
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: you know, gave him good points. Then Pablo Kordiakos. Did
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: four reps in one minute and 46.91 seconds. Raynaud now
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: did three in a total of 55.58 seconds, which I
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: don't know. I kind of, with the log press that
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: Raynaud was doing at Worlds, I suspected he would have
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: done a little more with that. Hooper did three and
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: totaled 117.50. Hooper's back was off. He could barely walk
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: with the yoke. So that's, you know, he got what
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: he could get and that was it. That's yeah. His
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: back was just, yeah, he fought through it. Uh, Patty
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: got one in, uh, 3127. I think Patty works on
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: his overhead this year. He's, he's going to do some damage.
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: Patty's literally showing that he can hang with the big boys.
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah.
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: As a smaller, you know, world's strongest man competitor.
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: But he's because these are heavy events. Oh, he's not
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: that small, but compared to everybody.
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: Else, he's not, he's not like shredded. Like he was, he's,
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: he's putting on mass to try to compete with the boys,
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: which I think on his part is a mistake. The
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: thing that made him do so well was his athleticism.
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: He needs to work on getting statically stronger, but not
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: at the cost of all that body weight. If he
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: put on 10 pounds, cool, but 20, 30, too much.
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: It's just going to pull away from it. So we
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: go to the grit medley, which is a 500 pound
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: duck walk. Yes. Um, a three 53, 160 kilo farmer's
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: pound farmer's walk carry, um, And then three sandbags. 147 kilos,
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: 160 kilos, and 170 kilos. So Reino now wins this event,
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: which is why he managed to get up to third,
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: because winning first is a lot of points. Martins Lisic,
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: this is what also keeps him in second place. He
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: finished second at 47.78 seconds. Pablo Cordiaca, yeah, this is
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: an event he should be very good at. Um, he
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: got third in that event at 49.65 Patty Hayes, his
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: bread and butter. This is, this is his bread and butter.
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: And he was off a little bit. I think the
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: weight gain for him through that's off. Cause he should
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: have actually won this event. Yeah. Um, in my opinion,
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: but what's it's all depends on what you think that's worth. Um,
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: in 56 seconds, Trey Mitchell finished fifth, which is all
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: he needed. Um, Which is when he needed to stay
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: ahead by one. Because Martins got second and he was
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: finished one point. Fifth was the number to beat for him.
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: Because you know they're going in order by points. And
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: if Trey's leading, he knows what number he needs to beat. Exactly.
• 21:59
  Speaker 3: 56.5, 56.46 points.
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: So for him to do... The 160-kilo farmer's walk is
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: pretty impressive with his grip. That's pretty awesome. The duck walk,
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: it's 225 kilos, but it's two hands. That shouldn't be
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: too bad. Plus, their distance wasn't super far. The three sandbags, though,
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: once he got to the three sandbags, he just ate
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: the sandbags, just killed them. And then Mitchell Hooper came
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: back in at 57.28. Grips... His grip's never going to
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: be a problem. He probably just couldn't move as quick
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: as he normally could. Austin Andrade finished in 1 minute
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: and 22 seconds,. 16. Andre, again, this is where doing
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: all those contests wear on you.
• 22:55
  Speaker 3: Yep.
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: He got four out of five tasks in 35 seconds.
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: And Thomas Evans, after that horrific– fall log yeah did
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: four of the five tasks at 37.36 seconds yeah um
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: mon's megastones four stones 136 kilos 159 kilos 181 kilos
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: and 200 kilos so basically 300 pounds to 300 or
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: 441 pounds trey destroyed the stones he's the king of
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: the stones he's the king of the stones he's the
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: new king of the stones yeah um Four stones in 30.44 seconds.
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: I mean, he just absolutely. Raynal now was in second
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: place on this event, which is another reason why he
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: made the finals. Or made the podium. Podium. Did four
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: stones in 39 seconds. So nine seconds slower than Trey.
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: Trey just went up and just destroyed those stones.
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, Trey trains no tacky.
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, Trey trains no tacky in the heat and
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: the humidities, which is just. Yeah, that guy is. Yeah.
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: Martins got third with three stones in 20.53 seconds. This
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: kind of surprises me because I think he's capable of
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: doing the last one, but maybe he knew where he was.
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: Well, he was head-to-head with Trey, and it slipped. And
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: once it slipped, I think that was it.
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah. And then Patty Hayes, well, that also means he
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: knows where his standing was and what everybody else was
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: doing and knew. Yep. He's in second place. There's nothing
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: you can do about it.
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't got to overdo myself here.
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: Well, you only got one person to pass, and you're
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: not going to be able to do it now. So
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: three stones, 20.53 seconds. That secured him the second place
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: for third in the event. Petty Hayes, three stones, 23.31 seconds. Andre, again,
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: I think he got fifth, which is great. But still,
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: I think he was just tired. Three stones, 29.77 seconds.
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: Thomas Evans, three stones and 35. Austin Andrade, three stones
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: and 51. Pablo Cordiaca, again, another heavy back thing. Two
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: stones and 13. And Hooper did two stones in 1976.
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: So he finished the show, but he got last in
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: that last event. His back was probably spent. Right. Now
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: he's going to be getting ready for the upcoming seasons
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: and getting his body healthy.
• 25:39
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: Let's see here. Troy Mitchell won three events despite finishing
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: seventh in the Conan's Wheel return from serious Achilles injury too. Yeah,
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: he sure did. He tore that Achilles off at the
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: Rogue a couple years back. Um, doing that, I think
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: wooden bull pool or something like that.
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah. That bull pool. Yeah. Even when, uh, Brian did it,
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: he was talking about how horrible it was.
• 26:04
  Speaker 3: It was like, yeah.
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: And it was different for a lot of people. Yeah.
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: It wasn't consistent. So some people got a harder one
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: and some people got slightly less, which I don't know
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: how you say slightly less painful, but it definitely moved
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: more for certain people than it did others with, with no,
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: no rhyme or reason.
• 26:26
  Speaker 3: Yep.
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we already talked about kind of like Hooper's issues.
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: He'll be back. It's not going to be an issue
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: for him.
• 26:34
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he'll be back.
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: I'll tell you this, though, right now. He is motivated.
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: Stuff like this can go one of two ways. You're like, okay, well,
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: I've done enough, so I'm going to call it a
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: career and see you guys later.
• 26:48
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: Or you're like, oh, no, I'm not done. Not only
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: am I not done, I'm going to come back and
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: do all this again.
• 26:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: Well, you know, Mitchell, he said that. Remember at the beginning,
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: he's like, oh, I'm going to win, and then I'm
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: going to retire. And then he's like, oh, no, I
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: got more in the tank. You know what I'm saying?
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: I think he's got a lot more in the tank.
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he's got so much in the tank.
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: I think if he, you know, just bides his time
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: or guards his time a little bit more and gets
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: a little bit more choosy with things, I don't think
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: any of this is going to be an issue. Yeah.
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: trying the 1100 pound deadlift for the amount of money
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: that they were making is kind of a no brainer. Um,
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: but you still got to realize if you, you, you
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: pick up an injury through that, you got to get
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: back to healing through that all the way and not just,
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: but he, he, there's nothing, there's nothing that guy does.
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: He doesn't learn from. So I'm pretty sure he's got
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: all that figured out by now. Martin's return was amazing.
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: Second place. Yep. Consistent throughout the whole thing. You know,
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: everybody had good events. Everybody had bad events. And Martin's
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: came from one point from winning. So, great show. I mean,
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: especially as a guy who's getting older now.
• 28:10
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: He's no longer the young kid on the block.
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, which is fun to tease him about because
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: I remember when that kid was 19. So, yeah, it's
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: pretty cool seeing him as like one of the veteran
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: guys and he gets on the podium at the road.
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: You're doing something right there.
• 28:28
  Speaker 3: That's it.
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and then Andre's incredible week winning the glass low
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: and then coming to the road just a few days later.
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: You know, not even a full week later. So it's
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: pretty ballsy, and the dude's tough. He's tough. He didn't withdraw.
• 28:50
  Speaker 3: He fought all the way through that.
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: So more power to him. Exactly.
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: And then right here we got Women's Strongman because they
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: were at the Rogue, too. Because they were actually competing
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: side-by-side with the men.
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, which is kind of funny.
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I thought that was.
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: It's hard to pay attention to one person. So you're
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: either watching left or you're watching right. I would much
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: rather see them get their heyday competing head-to-head with each
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: other than a guy going and a girl going at
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: the same time all the way through, but I don't
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: run the thing.
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: Um, yeah, exactly. It made them move faster, but it
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: was dividing. It was dividing TV time.
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah. And attention. Cause who's doing the freakier thing. Yeah.
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: You know, they're both doing freaky things. Which one do
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: you watch? I don't know. So yeah, It makes it
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: hard to focus your attention on the one thing, but
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: it's okay. It's cool. Angelica Jardim won with 53 points.
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: Inez got 52 points for second place. And then Lucy Underdown,
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: 10 points back, got third place at 42. Congratulations to
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: all of them. It just shows you how far... Angelica
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: and Inez are above everybody else who's at that show.
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: That was basically a two-person show for all intents and purposes.
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: For them to be a whole event ahead of everyone else,
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: that's saying something right there. When they're 10 points ahead of...
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: When they're both... One's 11 points and one's 10 points
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: over third place, that means those two are a whole
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: event over... Oh, you.
• 30:53
  Speaker 2: Know, Angelica, I've seen it this morning. They were showing
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: a video. She was, I don't know if it was
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: the first woman or the first, I think it was
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: the first. Like I said, I could be completely wrong,
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: but I think what the video said that she was
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: the first woman to lift the Denny stones.
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: Actually, Gina did that like a week before.
• 31:20
  Speaker 2: I don't know if it was a difference.
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: She just, well, they're not, they're the first one. She's
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: the first, Gina was the first person to pick it
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: up farmer's walk style. Yeah. And then she came like
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: a week later and did it there. So Gina actually
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: went to, you know, where the bridge is into the
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: place like last week with a whole bunch of her friends.
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: And she was the first woman to lift them in a.
• 31:48
  Speaker 3: Oh, there you go then.
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: In a farmer's walk fashion. I know us as the
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: cast of the strongest men in history for the men
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: were like fourth, fifth and sixth, I believe to do
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: that farmer's walk style. So not too many men have
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: picked it up that way either. So for even if
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: you're second, it's an amazing accomplishment. I think, I think
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: Angelica got a little higher with it and held it
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: a little longer.
• 32:16
  Speaker 3: So, but yeah.
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: That was pretty good. So then we come into, let's
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: see here. Now we can talk about the, some of
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: the other stuff. Yeah. Therapy's going okay. It's going good.
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: It's slow. And the, and the way they, the way
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: they replaced them instead of it being the three month recovery,
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: it's going to be about a total of 12 months.
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: And I've, had to understand that and come to grips
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: with that. Yes. So even for me, patience is still
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: the virtue. And I preach this slow methodical gains and
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: that's what I have to do. And that's what I've
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: been doing. And then this week I found a creative way.
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: I haven't sent it to, uh, been here to post yet,
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: but I did Zurcher squats this week. Um, on my, uh,
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: for my squats and down to the drum, the drum
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: stool and back up. But this week I also had
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: James tie a rubber band around the bar and pull
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: it away from me, pulling me forward even more.
• 33:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: So one forcing my core to be even tighter than normal,
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: but it also gave me, it gave me that slight
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: forward bend as I went down that I wasn't getting
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: without it. And it allowed me to push more into
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: that forward range of motion, which when you're squatting, you
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: lean forward slightly in the bottom to keep your balance
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: so the weight stays over your heels and you push up. Well,
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: that's why I'm doing Zercher squats because it pulls me
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: forwards more and it's much more challenging. But the way
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: this worked out, it made me move my hips instead
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: of my knees more. I had the stool a little
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: bit lower last week, but I was getting that range
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: of motion out of my knees, out of my legs,
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: and not out of my hips. This forced me to
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: get the range of motion out of my hips, which
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: was a great thing. And I just got right into
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: the zone. I did eight. I did three last week.
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: This week I did eight. And they felt pretty darn good. Um,
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: just that little, just that little forward movement. I mean,
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: literally I moved forwards about this much from last week
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: to this week at the bottom, but it made a
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: world of difference. Like being able to like stay tight
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: and drive off. It made it so much easier. And
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: I was very grateful for that. So that, that, that
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: worked out fantastic. Um, I know the leg strength is
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: going to be there. I'm not, super worried about it.
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: I just got to keep doing what I'm doing. It'll probably,
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: once I get the full range of motion back, it
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: can really build my squat and my deadlift. It'll probably
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: take me six to nine months to get back to full,
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: what I would call full strength, which would probably be,
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: it's not, it'd probably be in the like 85, 90 percentile,
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: but that's still pretty high. It's high enough for me to,
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: go after the world records in powerlifting in the master's class.
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: So that's kind of what I want to do. That's
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: what I want to do. Those are goals I set
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: for myself to attain, but those are long goals. So
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: in the meantime, I have to set a bunch of
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: small little goals to keep achieving my success. And the
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: second biggest long-term goal I have is to tie my shoes.
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: And then the third, the third, small, the third, fourth, fifth, sixth,
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: small goals is to just work on getting all the
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: way down into squat position and then being able to
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: lean forwards to where my torso, I can get my
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: torso actually all the way down to my knees while sitting.
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: Because that'll allow me to tie my shoes. So that's
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: kind of the other reason why I'm doing Zurcher squats
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: because it's going to pull me forwards. And it's just
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: going to be a long, slow process. It will be okay.
• 36:36
  Speaker 3: Exactly.
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: But it will just be a long, slow process. And
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: that's okay. That's okay. I'm still going to put work in.
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: I'm back training bench and back and shoulders and everything else.
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: So I'm pretty happy.
• 36:50
  Speaker 2: You're getting there.
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: You're getting there. A lot of good things going on.
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: I'm pretty excited about some other stuff going on, but
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: I can't talk about it right now. Oh, yeah.
• 37:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, you know, what we can't talk about is
• 37:04
  Speaker 2: the Strongman event that's getting ready to happen that you're
• 37:07
  Speaker 2: going to be at because there was two events scheduled.
• 37:09
  Speaker 2: And unfortunately, one's not happening for you and with you.
• 37:13
  Speaker 2: It is not. You will be in Las Vegas.
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: I will be in Las Vegas on November 7th.
• 37:20
  Speaker 3: Your hometown.
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: My hometown here at the Centennial UFC Fit Gym. So
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: that's where we'll be. Ronnie's... Ronnie's big Las Vegas strength
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: contest will be there, and it's going to be a
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: lot of fun. Good to see a lot of guys
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: compete at this. Yeah, yeah. So really looking forward to that.
• 37:42
  Speaker 2: And for those who don't know, Nick's birthday is also
• 37:45
  Speaker 2: coming up.
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: November 3rd, so four days before the contest.
• 37:50
  Speaker 2: That's it, exactly. You know what I'm saying? And Nick's
• 37:55
  Speaker 2: making a good transition into his age because, you know,
• 37:59
  Speaker 2: Was it two birthdays ago we got your early bird breakfast?
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: That was three birthdays ago.
• 38:05
  Speaker 2: Three birthdays ago.
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: It wasn't the early bird breakfast. It was the senior breakfast,
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: I believe, because you can get your senior breakfast at $ 55.
• 38:14
  Speaker 3: You get that discount.
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: You get the discount at $ 55.
• 38:20
  Speaker 3: Every penny counts.
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: Keep it up. Keep it up.
• 38:25
  Speaker 3: That's it.
• 38:27
  Speaker 2: Happy birthday, Nick.
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: Thank you.
• 38:29
  Speaker 3: I appreciate it.
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: Thanks bud. Love you.
• 38:32
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah. Like I said, brother, we, we have a
• 38:38
  Speaker 2: great time, you.
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: Know, I'm proud to be a walking fossil.
• 38:41
  Speaker 2: Hey, one of the strongest walking fossils.
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So yeah, I feel pretty good. I mean,
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: like I said, it's, I just, I've been going, I
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: went back to ageless forever, which is, JJ, Dr. JJ Pierce's, uh.
• 38:58
  Speaker 2: Which he was just on a podcast. So if you
• 38:59
  Speaker 2: guys are interested, please go check that out.
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: So I, he was the first guy that, um, you know,
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: went through my blood work and stuff like that and
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: kind of taught me, um, a lot in his philosophies
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: on that type of supplementation and stuff like that. He
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: was the one who I learned a lot of stuff from.
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: And so going back to him, he's got all my
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: old numbers and everything from when I was with him before,
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: and he was comparing them. when I was what 35
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: to now and they're almost they're not that far off
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: they're almost identical he's like I am really very happy
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: and very surprised how healthy you've managed to stay through
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: this whole thing i mean it's 10 world.
• 39:51
  Speaker 3: Strongest men it's three arnold's um all.
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: The world records and strong powerlifting meets and stuff like
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: that and both sports and stuff he goes you've done
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: a great job i go well i just i listened
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: to what you taught me and turned out to be
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: all true so yeah.
• 40:08
  Speaker 2: And that's exactly it you know i'm saying it worked
• 40:10
  Speaker 2: out really good when you take your health separate that
• 40:12
  Speaker 2: that's what it is when you take your health uh
• 40:14
  Speaker 2: health uh I can't even think of the word now.
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: For granted? Take your health for granted?
• 40:23
  Speaker 2: You could take your health granted, but what I'm saying
• 40:25
  Speaker 2: is you have an appreciation for actually taking care of
• 40:28
  Speaker 2: your health. It goes a long way.
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: After I lost the kidney from cancer, my GFR was
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: like 34, but I didn't have any of the signs
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: or the issues that you'd have with your GFR being
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: that low. They did a statin C test on me,
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: and they're like, oh, your kidney function is actually way
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: better than that, but we don't know why. Your creatinine
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: level is this high, and that affects the test.
• 40:55
  Speaker 3: Well, we know why. Yeah.
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: Well, it just goes to show you how bad some
• 41:01
  Speaker 1: of the medical community is in regards to this. Yeah.
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: Because it's, one, the training is going to give you
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: a higher creatinine level. Yeah. That's okay, though.
• 41:13
  Speaker 2: It does.
• 41:13
  Speaker 1: It's not– it's not the type of creatinine that's causing,
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: that's coming from a damaged kidney, which is what they
• 41:22
  Speaker 1: think it's coming from. And it's, it doesn't work that way.
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: And yeah, it's, it's so you sat and see test
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: is the one that it really makes the difference. But
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: like this time I've learned to adjust my diet a
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: little bit. I've learned to adjust my training a little
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: bit and put it all together. And this time, and it's,
• 41:42
  Speaker 1: My nephrologist, the first thing my nephrologist says is it's
• 41:44
  Speaker 1: impossible to reverse the damage. So once you're at 34,
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: that's the best it's going to be.
• 41:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: I suggest she goes back to medical school. My GFR
• 41:59
  Speaker 1: as of this week was 66. Anything below 60 is
• 42:03
  Speaker 1: a problem with the kidneys. So anything over 60, you're
• 42:06
  Speaker 1: good to go. Yeah.
• 42:09
  Speaker 3: It's awesome.
• 42:10
  Speaker 1: And the highest mine was before this from the old
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: tests was 77. So, but I used to take a
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: lot of ibuprofen. So I definitely, yeah.
• 42:21
  Speaker 2: Well, you know, there was a lot, a lot of
• 42:22
  Speaker 2: information that you didn't have then that you have now.
• 42:25
  Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly.
• 42:27
  Speaker 2: But also too, it's like, you know, you know, for
• 42:31
  Speaker 2: everybody else who's getting, you know, kidney test, blood work,
• 42:34
  Speaker 2: Your standard doctors, that's what they check is the GFR.
• 42:37
  Speaker 2: Even mine is high, but it's because I eat red meat.
• 42:43
  Speaker 2: It's because I train.
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying?
• 42:46
  Speaker 2: That, you know, changes the actual, you know, like what
• 42:49
  Speaker 2: it is and what Nick is talking about.
• 42:51
  Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying?
• 42:52
  Speaker 1: I have two kidneys.
• 42:53
  Speaker 2: They're fine. Yeah.
• 42:55
  Speaker 1: Well, the unfortunate thing is they don't go by the
• 42:58
  Speaker 1: more accurate test. The insurance companies don't go by the
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: more accurate test that's more expensive. It gets you a
• 43:06
  Speaker 1: much better view of what's going on with your body.
• 43:10
  Speaker 1: The cystatin C is way more accurate. And they're like, yeah,
• 43:15
  Speaker 1: your cystatin C is like 74. Exactly. So, yeah. But
• 43:23
  Speaker 1: it's good. I feel good.
• 43:24
  Speaker 2: Even to the doctors, yeah. Right on point. But at
• 43:30
  Speaker 2: your age, it's like, hey, feeling good is the most
• 43:33
  Speaker 2: important thing and you're taking care of yourself that way.
• 43:36
  Speaker 2: And like I said, it's the gold standard that all
• 43:39
  Speaker 2: of us should be actually like understanding, hey, good diet,
• 43:42
  Speaker 2: good training.
• 43:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 43:44
  Speaker 2: Long life.
• 43:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure. And then he was also really surprised
• 43:49
  Speaker 1: because they also did a full body MRI from head
• 43:52
  Speaker 1: to toe. Like everything. He goes... yeah, your heart's in
• 43:58
  Speaker 1: good shape. It looks like it's designed to pump a
• 44:01
  Speaker 1: lot of blood, not just, he goes, so you're doing
• 44:05
  Speaker 1: great there. He's like, I am just so happy with
• 44:11
  Speaker 1: what I've seen here today. And it really kind of
• 44:15
  Speaker 1: got me choked up a little bit. He goes, you
• 44:18
  Speaker 1: did it right. So just keep doing what you're doing.
• 44:20
  Speaker 1: And I'm like, okay, so. Yeah. he's like, you have
• 44:23
  Speaker 1: a few little things here, but nothing compared to a
• 44:25
  Speaker 1: normal person, your age.
• 44:26
  Speaker 3: He goes, so you.
• 44:28
  Speaker 1: Just keep staying on what you're doing. Keep eating the
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: diet that you're not. You're eating. I was like talking
• 44:33
  Speaker 1: to JJ going, well, the basic diet is always ate
• 44:37
  Speaker 1: very similar already to the, um, Oh, why is my
• 44:43
  Speaker 1: brain not working?
• 44:44
  Speaker 3: Uh, vertical diet.
• 44:45
  Speaker 1: Vertical diet. That's it. Yeah. Instead of everything's vertical diet,
• 44:48
  Speaker 1: always act eight, very similar to that. Then we were
• 44:51
  Speaker 1: doing the TV show and, Brian's eating like the same
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: stuff I am, but just a little bit different. And
• 44:57
  Speaker 1: I was like, looking at Brian going, Hey, what gives?
• 45:00
  Speaker 1: And he's like, Oh no, I'm almost, he learned some
• 45:03
  Speaker 1: stuff from Stan and now he's kind of like going
• 45:06
  Speaker 1: through that. Then they had their period where they did
• 45:08
  Speaker 1: that together.
• 45:09
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 45:10
  Speaker 2: They worked together.
• 45:10
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 45:11
  Speaker 1: For a little while. And, uh, I got ahold of Stan.
• 45:14
  Speaker 1: He sent me his, uh, uh, like internet book that
• 45:20
  Speaker 1: you could read in like 45 minutes. And I stream,
• 45:23
  Speaker 1: I just streamlined already what I was doing and it
• 45:27
  Speaker 1: just made it better. And I've been eating that way
• 45:29
  Speaker 1: like consistently ever since. And it makes a massive difference.
• 45:35
  Speaker 1: It really does. It makes a huge difference. So they,
• 45:39
  Speaker 1: they just dialed in what, I mean, I was already
• 45:41
  Speaker 1: eating rice.
• 45:41
  Speaker 2: I was already eating, you know, adding the actual, like, uh,
• 45:47
  Speaker 2: because a lot of people don't realize that like chicken broth,
• 45:50
  Speaker 2: heavy salt, all these things.
• 45:53
  Speaker 3: These are the.
• 45:53
  Speaker 2: Vitamins and nutritions that you can get. All the collagen,
• 45:56
  Speaker 2: all the protein, all the micronutrition that you need is
• 46:00
  Speaker 2: right in there. You know what I'm saying? It's not
• 46:03
  Speaker 2: a fun diet.
• 46:04
  Speaker 1: It's not a fun diet. I think it's fun.
• 46:07
  Speaker 2: It tastes good to me. Visually, my wife hates it.
• 46:15
  Speaker 2: Kristen looks at it and she's like, no. Not for me.
• 46:20
  Speaker 2: I'm like, good. Cause it's not for you.
• 46:22
  Speaker 3: It's for me.
• 46:22
  Speaker 2: But that's what I'm saying. It's for me. And, but
• 46:26
  Speaker 2: that's just how she looks at it. So it's like
• 46:27
  Speaker 2: a lot of people that are going to look into
• 46:28
  Speaker 2: this and check this out.
• 46:29
  Speaker 3: It's like, look, it's.
• 46:31
  Speaker 2: Not visually great, but it does the job when it
• 46:36
  Speaker 2: comes to carbs, protein and building.
• 46:39
  Speaker 1: And just having overall your digestion.
• 46:43
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 46:43
  Speaker 1: That's the biggest thing. Cause you don't get gassy. You
• 46:46
  Speaker 1: don't get farty. your stools are very regular and consistent.
• 46:51
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's like same time every day. It's like,
• 46:54
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, it's that time. Like I can look and
• 46:57
  Speaker 1: tell what time in the morning it is just by my,
• 47:02
  Speaker 1: my internal schedule.
• 47:04
  Speaker 3: So it's a.
• 47:05
  Speaker 1: Kind of neat how that works. And I mean, it really, the, the,
• 47:10
  Speaker 1: the biggest things were the bone broth made a big
• 47:13
  Speaker 1: difference to me. And then so did the, um, the
• 47:17
  Speaker 1: organic cranberry juice that's not frozen because that has a
• 47:22
  Speaker 1: lot of iodine in it. The small amounts of orange
• 47:25
  Speaker 1: juice placed strategically and timed throughout the day, because it's
• 47:29
  Speaker 1: only like four ounces, but it helps your liver prepare,
• 47:34
  Speaker 1: you know, to accept the food and move the nutrition
• 47:37
  Speaker 1: around your body. And then, you know, the peppers in
• 47:41
  Speaker 1: the food, bell peppers that is, But you can also
• 47:45
  Speaker 1: substitute with sweet peppers, the small ones, because you don't
• 47:48
  Speaker 1: have to take all the seeds out of them. And
• 47:50
  Speaker 1: so they're a lot easier to cut up.
• 47:52
  Speaker 2: A lot more sweeter.
• 47:57
  Speaker 1: You know, and then some of the spinach and some
• 47:59
  Speaker 1: of the eggs, the whole eggs. Because even though there's
• 48:05
  Speaker 1: a lot of cholesterol in eggs, the cholesterol is actually
• 48:07
  Speaker 1: good for you. And the cholesterol actually drives all the
• 48:10
  Speaker 1: hormones in your body.
• 48:12
  Speaker 3: It's also brain food.
• 48:14
  Speaker 1: It's also brain food. And if you're eating a lot
• 48:17
  Speaker 1: of eggs and yet you're exercising, you're going to be fine.
• 48:21
  Speaker 1: It's eating a lot of eggs with that cholesterol and
• 48:23
  Speaker 1: being sedentary that you're going to have a problem. So
• 48:27
  Speaker 1: just make sure you're getting up and exercising and lifting
• 48:31
  Speaker 1: some weights in the gym. And for longevity, the thing
• 48:36
  Speaker 1: that's most important is training your legs and training the muscles, right?
• 48:41
  Speaker 1: for your skeleton because that's what keeps you moving as
• 48:43
  Speaker 1: you get older that's what builds the bone density especially
• 48:46
  Speaker 1: for women too for everybody men and women.
• 48:51
  Speaker 2: Yes but women tend to osteoporosis bone loss at the
• 48:55
  Speaker 2: older age so you know heavy training is like I
• 48:59
  Speaker 2: said it's great for everybody but yes.
• 49:02
  Speaker 1: The heavy training with the weights even as you're getting
• 49:06
  Speaker 1: older it's going to put a stop to that process
• 49:09
  Speaker 1: because your body is going to adapt to it It's
• 49:11
  Speaker 1: going to hold on to the calcium. It's going to
• 49:13
  Speaker 1: build stronger bones. So definitely train the weights. The cardio
• 49:19
  Speaker 1: should be exactly for what it is what it's intended
• 49:22
  Speaker 1: for your heart and that's it.
• 49:24
  Speaker 3: Yes so 10.
• 49:26
  Speaker 1: To 15 minutes.
• 49:28
  Speaker 2: Three days a week that's the minimum.
• 49:32
  Speaker 1: Well or maximum for as far as i'm concerned Um,
• 49:36
  Speaker 1: you're trying to build muscle to make life easier. Not
• 49:40
  Speaker 1: just unless you're trying to run a marathon. I mean,
• 49:42
  Speaker 1: if you're competing with something, we were running this completely
• 49:45
  Speaker 1: different story, but the weights will still make your bones stronger,
• 49:49
  Speaker 1: which will help because the running will take a lot
• 49:52
  Speaker 1: of that away. Um, but yeah, man, I got completely
• 49:57
  Speaker 1: off my train of thought here.
• 50:00
  Speaker 2: Sometimes we, we, we trail off. all over the place.
• 50:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah but i mean it's the lifting as you get
• 50:07
  Speaker 1: older is going to be a massive massive thing and
• 50:11
  Speaker 1: like i said cardio is exactly for that it's just
• 50:13
  Speaker 1: for your heart so 10 to 15 minutes at a
• 50:16
  Speaker 1: fairly intense level not just getting on.
• 50:18
  Speaker 2: Oh you gotta hit the mute button it's on the
• 50:27
  Speaker 2: screen all right how's that can you hear me there
• 50:29
  Speaker 2: you go you're back you're back.
• 50:30
  Speaker 1: It's on the Okay, cool. I'm Bach. The cardio is
• 50:36
  Speaker 1: exactly for that. It's just for your heart. You want
• 50:39
  Speaker 1: to make it fairly intense. Start with five minutes, five
• 50:44
  Speaker 1: intense minutes, then increase to six and then seven and eight.
• 50:49
  Speaker 1: You eventually work your way up to 15 minutes. If
• 50:51
  Speaker 1: somebody comes up while you're on the cardio piece of
• 50:54
  Speaker 1: equipment and exercising and tries to ask you a question,
• 50:59
  Speaker 1: If you can answer them and not be totally annoyed
• 51:02
  Speaker 1: that they're trying to ask you a question, you're not
• 51:04
  Speaker 1: doing it hard enough. So cardio, you want to do
• 51:10
  Speaker 1: with a little bit of intensity. You don't want to
• 51:13
  Speaker 1: do enough to put yourself in the hospital. But you
• 51:16
  Speaker 1: do want somebody to come up to you when they
• 51:18
  Speaker 1: ask you a question when you're doing it. You don't
• 51:22
  Speaker 1: want to divert your focus from what you're doing because
• 51:24
  Speaker 1: it's difficult. And all you want to do is get
• 51:27
  Speaker 1: through that time period. that's kind of the intensity level
• 51:30
  Speaker 1: you need to be going at.
• 51:32
  Speaker 2: Agreed.
• 51:32
  Speaker 1: And then when you get done, should take you between
• 51:35
  Speaker 1: three and 10 minutes to get back to normal. And then,
• 51:39
  Speaker 1: then you're good to go, but you don't need to
• 51:41
  Speaker 1: do like a half hour or 45 minutes or an
• 51:44
  Speaker 1: hour of it or anything like that.
• 51:47
  Speaker 2: Hey, you can get a 45 minute workout and it'd
• 51:50
  Speaker 2: be like, if you ran 10 miles, like literally.
• 51:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah. And then there's other things you can do too. Like,
• 51:56
  Speaker 1: When you get done eating, go take a 10 minute
• 51:58
  Speaker 1: brisk walk.
• 51:59
  Speaker 3: Yep.
• 52:00
  Speaker 1: That makes a big difference to your blood sugar. It
• 52:03
  Speaker 1: makes a big difference.
• 52:03
  Speaker 2: It brings the insulin down. Yeah. Right.
• 52:06
  Speaker 1: Yep. So that's something if you're trying to lose weight,
• 52:09
  Speaker 1: as soon as you get done eating, it's a brisk
• 52:11
  Speaker 1: 10 minute walk. Yep. That's something that will help greatly.
• 52:16
  Speaker 1: So if you eat five times a day, it's five
• 52:17
  Speaker 1: 10 minute walks. If you eat three times a day,
• 52:20
  Speaker 1: it's three. But every time you eat and you're trying
• 52:23
  Speaker 1: to lose weight and just get more fit, it's a
• 52:27
  Speaker 1: 10 minute walk right after you're done a brisk one. Exactly.
• 52:30
  Speaker 1: So you're walking fast. You look like you're doing the
• 52:34
  Speaker 1: walking race. It's in the Olympics where they look like
• 52:36
  Speaker 1: a duck.
• 52:36
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah. I just watched the women do it. Uh,
• 52:39
  Speaker 2: I was watching clips this morning. I was like, Oh,
• 52:41
