0:45
And before we get in today's episode, I'd like to thank Barbell Apparel,

1:27
Nick Bring. We'll talk about that later too, because something came up at
1:32
the at the dinner that we have We're I guy talked about that, so
1:38
okay, okay, we'll bring it up. But Nick, you know,
1:41
it's been a little bit. We didn't get a chance to record because a
1:44
lot of crazy stuff had happened, but most importantly Shaw Classic. Yeah,
1:49
guess who was holding the mic the whole time? I don't know, some
1:56
classes, some dude with some classes to the open and the women's. Yeah,
2:00
So that was a lot of fun. We had a great time.
2:02
It was an absolute honor approach beauty to do that. So thanks Brian for
2:07
let me do that. That was That was a lot of fun. The
2:08
whole thing was special. I mean getting to be there at Brian's last contest
2:14
that he's ever going to compete in that was pretty special. And then just
2:17
the way he did it, I mean, be great, that's his you
2:23
know, that's his same, that's that's as much. Yeah, but that's
2:27
how he lives his life. I mean literally, from the moment he wakes
2:30
up till the moment he goes to sleep. Everything he does he tries to
2:35
be great at. It doesn't mean he succeeds at everything. It just means
2:38
he tries to be great and to strive to do that. It does you
2:44
don't base your success on but on you know, completing that or not and
2:51
being the best ever, which he is. In my opinion, he's the
2:53
greatest ever done the sport, the greatest agree with He says issues because the
2:59
ifs to split and he didn't face the full force of the United strong Man
3:04
Front and so journaist Sojournass I think is arguably right there as well. He's
3:10
one more contest than Brian has. But Brian's done better at World Strongest Man,
3:16
set, more records, stuff like that. Plus I know from being
3:20
on the inside of this, what has been done to slow the man down.
3:24
There's been events taken out of contests because he could do them so well
3:30
and his competition could not. Now that has nothing to do with the competitors
3:37
and stuff like that, but it does have things to do with why someone
3:43
one more than others. So but in my opinion, from the bottom of
3:50
my heart, I think Brian's the best he's ever done it. Z is
3:53
right there behind them, and Marius is down a ways because of that.
3:57
Yeah, But I mean because Madness for Madness one four legitimate titles, so
4:02
did John Paul as well. So I I give more credit to those because
4:11
back in their days they faced everyone that was great at the time, there
4:15
was no split, there was no you know, the seal on just mermts
4:23
uh so doing this all those guys in another organization. Yeah, competing for
4:30
three years, so it was it wasn't like that, you know, that's
4:35
just how I see it. Yeah, And then speaking on on those terms,
4:40
you know this being the strongest man on earth, right, these events
4:45
were spectacular to watch, you know, it was it was a completely different
4:48
level of viewing pleasure because I was like, like, the monstrosity of the
4:55
machinery of it brings the spectacle back to strong It truly brings the spectacle back
5:02
your leg pressing suv. I mean, you know, a massive car that's
5:08
on top of the leg press. Brian's figured out how to do that,
5:11
make it safe, but make it still super hard, super challenging and a
5:14
true challenge, a true test of strength. Plus everyone in the gym can
5:20
relate to it. Except for now you're seeing a car up there instead of
5:24
weights, which is really freaking cool and as a spectacle. And then the
5:29
thing he did with the KEG bench press it just amazing, I mean absolutely
5:34
amazing to figure out to have that idea in your head. How they kind
5:39
of roll in, Well, the moment it rolls in, the weight doesn't
5:42
change, so the weight no matter what, when that weight comes in that's
5:46
the weight. If it goes to the there is no going to the front
5:48
of being heavier and going to the back end of being lighter. And you're
5:53
kind of at the mercy of where the kegs get end aimed. When they
5:56
go into the cart. They all go in the same way. Everybody.
6:00
It's the exact same weight, No questions asked, no, no, anything,
6:04
So that that's amazing. And then just to look at it, I
6:08
mean, it looked like a giant version of Donkey Kong real you know,
6:14
going into the thing with the kegs coming in it was. It was really
6:16
really, really spectacularly cool event to watch and to actually do. And most
6:23
people won't realize this, but Brian did not test that himself. Yeah he
6:28
didn't. He didn't get into it till the day, you know, when
6:30
you till the competitors got into it. I went out and tested for him,
6:33
and then Jaff Coron also tested it for him, so we tested it.
6:39
He never got in there. He wanted to make sure that they're advantaged
6:43
everybody, right. And the chess press machine he had at home, it
6:47
press is a lot different, well not a lot, but it does practice
6:51
different press different than that machine does it's much different, though not as much
6:58
weight comes off when you get towards the top of that thing. But like
7:00
the vertical chest press at the gym, it's one way at the at the
7:04
start, and it's one way at the end, where yeah, it's a
7:06
little bit like that, but not as much. So it was it was
7:11
really really neat the way it all works. And someone that I know came
7:15
up with a way to adjust the size for everybody too, so you know,
7:18
I'm going to make sure we throw a little credit that way. The
7:23
formats in there were pretty cool ideas, so now you can it's everybody's pressing
7:29
it from the same points, same height, same lever, same everything.
7:33
So that was really really cool about that event. So and guys will try
7:39
to figure out a way to manipulate it as much as you can, because
7:42
oh yeah, you got to get any advantage. Yeah, I mean,
7:46
part of the reason why Magnus went some went four is because he could figure
7:49
out how to lift it by looking at something better than the other guys could.
7:55
So man, he was really strong, but yeah, he was also
7:59
one of the cerebral stroman at the time, so that's why it makes a
8:03
good judge. He knows how to manipulate thinks so. And that wheelbarrel man
8:09
that it looked brutal. That wheelbarrow is pretty freaking cool. I've got to
8:15
do that before, and I don't think it was that heavy, but it
8:18
was really really cool. And then the arm over armed again, another innovative
8:22
apparatus that Brian has brought to the brought to the floor. That looks really
8:28
cool. I mean, you're pulling up seven hundred pounds a piece of steel
8:31
that's getting suspended. You don't have to worry about it dropping down. You
8:35
know, are going back on you because it's got a ratchet system in it,
8:39
so you pull and then grab and pull. You don't have to worry
8:41
about it trying to come down, so it doesn't like hurt you destroy your
8:46
hands toward the ruined after it's all over. Unbelievably great design as well.
8:52
I mean, you know, Red Iron has just they continually go far and
8:56
above every manufacturer I've ever seen when it comes to building these things. And
9:03
then the fingle fingers that they came up with. Now that the innovation on
9:07
that alone was just absolutely amazing. That you can lift the finger up and
9:13
it goes into the catch and it stops. And then when you're done,
9:16
you hit this thing and push it over and it's all done. No more
9:18
forklifts flipping them over all out of the stuff. It's way hate better and
9:24
you can do it indoors like way faster setups, way just quicker all the
9:31
way around. Just absolutely absolutely brilliant on design. I mean truly was the
9:37
power stairs we're also man heavy, were heavy and perfect. The stairs were
9:45
not real short, which was good because most of the time it's like the
9:48
size of the implement and your heels when you get up to the upper ones
9:52
are starting to lean over the sides you're trying to lean back to getting on.
9:54
It scares you to lean back and really like, yeah, hot,
10:00
that last one up there, because you're afraid if you miss, you're gonna
10:01
go over. You know, you didn't want to go over with a six
10:03
hundred pound Yeah, that's my bueno. So they were a little bit wider
10:11
than normal and man, it just way smart way smart way safer for the
10:16
athletes. And if it makes it a little bit more difficult that they got
10:20
to slide it forwards before they pick it up and put it on there,
10:22
hey, even better. The thing is is there. You're not going to
10:24
lose your balance and follow over backwards. Yeah, and that's going to feel
10:28
that way either. So that's brilliant. I mean, like, I can't
10:31
say enough things about the innovation that he had for the show. And then
10:35
just from the get go of the show, there's strategy on the locks with
10:39
the three locks, the four forty, four ten, and three eighty.
10:43
That strategy made all the difference for some people and totally killed others. I
10:50
mean ken Brian pressed the four forty more than likely, Yeah, but he
10:56
just felt it was a little off, saw some of the guys ahead of
10:58
him go and then just when I'm going to get the four ten, he
11:01
got two at the four ten fast, which put him in a good spot
11:05
to put him in fourth place going into the second and that, I mean,
11:09
yeah, that was good. Points. You had other guys come out,
11:11
try to four forty, try it again, missed the four ten,
11:16
miss it again, go to the three eight and then miss when if they
11:20
did the four ten, you know that have been fine. So it's it's
11:24
kind of that's the gamble though. Strategy, strategy, it's knowing your body
11:28
on that day, and I'll be honest when I was watching, like I
11:31
said, I'm keeping track as best I can of the score. Thank god
11:37
for everyone on social media for always posting and always keeping a lot of people
11:39
updated. Well it was also a live stream too, so well that's what
11:43
I'm saying. It's like I try to catch as much as I could everywhere,
11:46
and like it was looking like Mitchell Hooper was coming in and I'm like,
11:54
oh my god, this guy might be winning both these titles. And
11:56
then as Brian pulled up that last as bit and Mitchell didn't get it,
12:01
I was like, holy shit, did that just really happened? You know
12:03
what I'm saying, Like that was heavy as fuck and them both standing on
12:09
top of that podium and Mitchell, you know, cheering Brian on and Brian
12:13
literally winning this title and retiring on this side was like one of the most
12:18
amazing, craziest Like as soon as that happened, social media completely blew up
12:24
with both those guys on that main stage. Yeah, oh yeah, totally.
12:26
And it was pretty classy. Mitchell. Mitchell when he was going into
12:31
the last one, I mean, he knew it was gonna be pretty close
12:37
and just going, you know what, you know, go Brian and go
12:41
out there and cheer your mind. That was really freaking cool. It was,
12:43
I mean, it truly was so. But because it was, it
12:48
was pretty much put away anyway. But yeah, I just put it to
12:50
bed. But I mean, Brian performed brilliantly the whole day both, yes,
12:56
I mean, and then what people don't understand is is I was out
13:01
there, you know, testing the event like a week or so out,
13:05
and he was already putting in sixteen seventeen eighteen hour days working on a Shaw
13:11
Classic and training and even and doing everything else. I mean, there was
13:18
There's nobody that's gonna outwork him. I don't think he ever shuts his brain
13:20
off. Like he looks like the kind of guy that just everything's always motivated,
13:26
everything's always going in the direction. And when he picks that direction,
13:28
guess what he is. You know, it's going that way. And so
13:31
it's it's gonna be pretty neat to see now that he's retiring from competing,
13:39
how much further he's going to keep pushing the envelope with this because he I
13:46
mean, and then increasing the prize money. Yeah, I mean, it
13:48
was announced he was giving away one hundred and fifty thousand dollars, and then
13:52
about two thirds of the way through the show, he's like, hey,
13:56
I'd like to let everybody know we're giving away two hundred and thirty thousand dollars
14:00
and his goes back into the prize money, So that first place money is
14:03
going to get back into all the rest of the athletes in the whole whole
14:07
entire show. So exactly what and he gives back? Man, he like
14:11
and like I said, and it's that's really unheard of in most of these
14:15
in most competitions where like, you know, there there's no nobody to giving
14:18
back as much as Brian is. And you know, that's the sacrifice he
14:22
makes because of how much he loves the sport. It's fucking always beautiful to
14:26
see and to some degree that's what slowed the overall growth of the sport a
14:31
little bit over She's one of the last twenty twenty five years. Is because
14:37
people were worried about that. It's like, if you build it, they'll
14:41
come, and Brian's clearly put it. It's the fourth year he's done the
14:45
show and he's sold out the arena, and it was yeah and then yeah,
14:50
and and it becoming the strongest man on Earth, Like come on,
14:56
like like how long were they holding onto that? And then b want it?
15:01
Right? That was Paul Oles and Paul old trademark that from for Tissimus.
15:07
Yeah, so back when for Tismus and he got with Paul and they
15:13
he managed to get that. And it's a really neat title. The trophies
15:16
for Unreal. So there's not his his mantra be great. So he wakes
15:24
up and he tries to be great. He tries to just be the best
15:26
he absolutely can at everything that he's going to do and put his effort into
15:31
and it's it's utterly amazing. I mean, he's he's an amazing husband,
15:35
he's an amazing father, he's an amazing son, he's an amazing friend.
15:39
There's no part that he doesn't apply to be great two in his life.
15:46
And you see that in the show and the attention to detail. The bags
15:52
the guy's got with wheels and the strongest man on Earth, you know,
15:56
logo put into it, their names put into it. You know that that
16:00
little bit just putting your names into it was really cool. And it's like
16:06
including the men's open and the women they all got backpacks. Yeah, so
16:10
they got backpacks with you know, their names on a Shaw classic and all
16:15
that stuff into them. And it's the little details like that that just make
16:19
all the difference in the end. And those trophies were just off off the
16:22
hut oh yeah, oh yeah. And then those globes were yeah they those
16:26
are spectacular looking. But you know what the craziest, like I said,
16:30
with the things that they had, Brian brought you Eddie and Robert in and
16:37
you guys got to do something special for all the fans of the show.
16:42
And like it looked amazing just from all the videos and pictures that I've seen
16:47
of you guys being able to enjoy Q and A eating that was that like
16:52
like you know how like being able to offer that for that that that close,
16:57
that close interaction like a man. That was smart thinking of Brian because
17:02
like like I said, it brings people in. And the thing too is
17:04
like right word stadiument He's break. Brian is adding to Colorado's you know,
17:11
like like literally to the state of people coming in for what what what what
17:15
is it called when people come into the state for vacation tourism there? It
17:19
is, That's it, you know what I'm saying, yeah, it's it's
17:25
but it's pretty neat the things he's bringing in, the things that he's doing.
17:27
I mean, we got to take pictures with everybody that came, We
17:30
answered all their questions, we got to hang out with people and spend time
17:34
with them and stuff like that. So it was a really neat thing.
17:37
And then we also had the panel, you know, that was pretty cool.
17:41
And then he had all of us speak at different times during the expo
17:45
stuff like that. That was a lot of fun. I had a lot
17:48
of celebrities there. Yeah, I cried a little too much, you know,
17:55
but that that's thing though. Two is like that's how much love you
17:56
have for to support it is And I appreciate it so much and I truly
18:03
do. And it's like, you know, it's validation and everything I've been
18:07
through, you know, being a kid. He's told he's not going to
18:11
be anything that he's you know, not smart enough, not whatever as a
18:15
kid and then doing this and going, hey, look I was successful.
18:21
You know. I people do appreciate the things I've done and I made a
18:23
career out of this. Yeah, for all the people, the ex ex
18:30
girlfriends like, you know, just kind of like oh you remember. You
18:33
know, it's just like, well, guess what, you know what I'm
18:37
playing, but it's your Yeah, and it all comes flooding in and it's
18:41
like, I just appreciate it so much. It means a lot to me.
18:45
So it's just neat when stuff like that happens. And it was really
18:52
cool. And then some of the other validation, the stuff with ice stuff
18:56
industries and oh yeah, that's what I was just about to ask, the
18:59
pool and the and the cold plunge. There was a doctor there that came
19:04
to the coaching panel and he I could barely hear him, and he starts
19:10
talking in the back and he talked about the podcast that we did talking about
19:15
cold plunges and how much so much better that the industry. I was right,
19:21
The industry doesn't do anything and push his IV profen and any inflammatories and
19:25
all this stuff onto people destroying their kidneys, you know, over time.
19:30
And he's like, you're absolutely right, and you're the first person I've seen
19:33
talk about that in the podcast, and you know, it was it was
19:37
really neat validation to hear him come back and say that. And he's a
19:41
geriatric doctor, so he takes care of older people. Yeah, and he
19:45
sees them being prescribed stuff that just shortens their lives and just you know,
19:51
their kidneys are already struggling and now you're giving them I reprof And it's like
19:55
even more so doing the ice pass and stuff like that to prevent it as
20:00
you're younger and not taking eight millions, I'd be proven before you train and
20:07
after you train, and then the next day to get over the inflammation and
20:11
move around. I mean, just take a couple of ice bass. It's
20:15
way better. So for him to say that and validate all that was it
20:18
was pretty freaking cool, especially right in front of that room and all those
20:22
people and going out on live stream. That was yeah, exactly, you
20:26
know. But once again, like you're the only one that I know that's
20:30
been talking about this ibprofn thing, and literally like we talk about it all
20:34
the time, you know, even when we do when we do ice bass
20:37
videos and we're doing these things, it's like, no, this is how
20:40
important this is. But the thing is is that regiterization because each one of
20:44
those videos that we do, each one of those videos that you do,
20:48
is is just like someone could stumble upon that video for the first time and
20:52
then actually hear it. So that's how important it is, you know,
20:53
Like I said, like I said, you know, Ivy Proken is a
20:56
billion dollar industry and the course not going to say anything about it. Yeah
21:03
I know, but that's it. But the whole thing was just amazing.
21:07
I mean, watching Brian pulled a thousand and fifty again, that was that
21:11
was awesome. I mean, God was truly amazing to see him back pulling
21:18
at that level. Yeah, you know, and and him go with the
21:22
frame and the arm of her arm and doing what he did in the log
21:26
and of course the ghettle or the sandback tosses, yeah, you know,
21:32
he did great on that. And he doing the fingle fingers with a partially
21:40
torn pack yeah because it Yeah, he got all those reps, you know,
21:48
and then got another one and he was going to do another one after
21:51
getting all the cakes, so he's gonna do two reps. And he kind
21:52
of heard his as he came back, and he's just like, I think
21:56
I tore something. I'm like, oh yeah. He went back. The
22:00
crew back there worked on and they stretched it out, they linked in it
22:03
out, and he got through those fingle fingers. But if you looked at
22:07
it, wondered why he was gonna not moving as fast as Brian would normally
22:11
moving with him, that was why. But he still did it. I
22:14
mean he still did it. He still did the back toss. And that's
22:17
competition day. Like, Yeah, you don't think about those injuries as they're
22:19
happening. You think you're thinking about what's going to be the outcome of this,
22:22
of this competition. You know what I'm saying, in a lot of
22:25
heart in that man of heart, A lot of heart too, That's the
22:30
thing though. I mean, and his boys were there, Carrie came out,
22:33
you know, when they walked out for the first and last time,
22:37
and stuff like that. It was just so special, it truly was.
22:42
I just feel blessed that I got to see him get his pro card.
22:48
You know, I got to see when when his first world's Strongest, I've
22:52
got to see him when every one of his world's strongest man. I got
22:56
to see him when three of his Arnolds, you know, I got to
23:00
see him, you know, compete with them, train with them, and
23:06
just do the show with them, and just be friends with him, and
23:07
then see him retire. It was pretty neat to be there for all that
23:11
it's like going to history and being or being part of the history. Exactly.
23:17
It's really cool. Exactly. Let's touch a little basically on the expo.
23:21
How was the expo and how it was set up? Was it like
23:22
around uh like close to the stadium or was it on the outside. Oh
23:29
no, no, it was just it was there was a building just outside
23:33
the stadium, okay, so or the arena, so it was right next
23:37
to it, so you could walk into that and it was free, just
23:40
walk in nice. So that was really cool to walk in. Shield six
23:44
one six was in the front. You know, as people walked in spent
23:48
some time with those guys. They make some really cool stuff they truly do
23:53
for like you know, protecting police officers stuff like that. For body armor,
23:59
makes some amazing body armor. And then you go through the door and
24:03
just it's it's kind of like a horseshoe of boosts and at the other end
24:07
there's like a seating for probably four or five hundred people, and then you
24:11
know a stage was one of the people up there talking on it. So
24:17
they filled the days with people talking. That's good because well you know that
24:22
that's what I like because there's a lot of vendors out there that are trying
24:23
to get their equipment out, trying to get the supplements out, just basically
24:26
trying to and then being able to show up to something like that, because,
24:30
like I said, even when we were at World's Strongest Man, there
24:33
was a couple of booze people are walking around, you know what I'm saying,
24:37
which was cool, but like they actually have an expot where you can
24:38
like, you know, literally stretch your legs exactly. And then all of
24:45
us were going in there too. I mean, so Evan was in there,
24:48
I was in there, Robert was in there. Robert had a booth
24:51
from there. Yeah see, And that was one of the biggest things I
24:52
was wondering, is like, what's the axe is going to be like for
24:56
the strong Man because I know they got to be gained day ready, but
24:57
at the same time, it's like I want to see everything, you know
25:00
what I'm then No, Whop had a Whop had a booth from there.
25:04
Some of the guys had a booth from there too. Ju Jujumufu had had
25:10
a boothrom there. We had a lot of fun hanging out together too.
25:12
Oh yeah, well that guy, that guy's that guy's hilarious. No,
25:15
he's right, he's so much fun to be around. He truly is.
25:21
You know, I can't say nothing. Nancy was amazing to be out there
25:23
and co host with. I mean, it was just all the way around,
25:26
it was. It was a great day. It truly it looked like
25:30
a lot of fun. It looked like you were having a lot of fun.
25:32
And there was a lot of posting going on. So and then even
25:36
too. I don't know if you've seen it, but Bobby and Corey people
25:40
that we yeah, you've had them on this podcast, and you know,
25:44
hey, wow, and now there's congratulations Bobby and professional Strong Cup very much
25:52
congratulations. Yeah, you know. So it's uh, it's it's pretty dark
25:57
cool. I mean, is it was an unbelievable weekend. You know,
26:04
just driving in wasn't too bad. Driving back, the drives weren't bad.
26:11
I just driving the freeways right now, and this co's long. It's long.
26:15
I don't care what it says. You're crossing a state. No,
26:17
it's not like I said, it wasn't that bad. It's just there's construction
26:21
every like fifty miles. You have like five ten miles a one leaning traffic
26:26
and the roads were all messed up, and I lost the tire on the
26:29
way in, and I lost the tire on the way out. I bought
26:33
a replay in the same tire by the way. Background, Yeah, the
26:36
same tire, same tire, brand new tire. Oh it's not like you
26:41
could just pop back into where you got it to get the warranty on it.
26:45
No, especially on the first one, because the first one was out
26:48
in the middle of nowhere. Yeah, and then the second one, though
26:51
we managed to get a like at we had to wait like two and a
26:53
half hours to get the toe and then get toed in and everything else.
26:57
It was a forty five mile toe. Well you didn't say right now,
27:00
you big old tires. The big old tires will have a I have a
27:07
warranty on them, so those are fine. But yeah, yeah, well
27:11
the Mini Cooper held up the tires, didn't, did I think? Justin
27:18
like spend a lot of time staring down at his phone instead of about how
27:22
my driving was on the road. I'll let me tell you something right now.
27:26
As co pilot, you gotta pay attention and keep the conversation. Yeah,
27:30
yeah, so yes, it was a little bit, that's it.
27:33
But what the point to think too is people got to understand the car was
27:38
completely loaded in the back, and originally I was supposed to go with them,
27:44
but I was going to be laying on top of the equipment as we're
27:47
driving. It had been an extremely tight fit. It would if we put
27:52
all three of this in there. Yeah. Yeah, so just you know,
27:59
I'm just okay, Oh yeah, I'm okay. For everyone is wondering
28:03
why a lot of the videos are slowed or the podcast kind of slowed down.
28:07
I ended up getting what they call compartment syndrome in my thigh, and
28:11
so they had to split me open. So I've been bedridden for the last
28:14
three weeks and but I'm up and going. I'm no pain, I could
28:18
sleep. Well, I'm just I'm barely walking. But you know understand that
28:22
I'm coming back. Yeah, no, absolutely, So yeah, I mean
28:26
I just uh yeah, it's for them to cut cut you open from the
28:33
knee to the thigh, yeah, right along the it band. So everyone
28:37
needs to understand like they had to slice it to the almost to the bone
28:41
and then drain it and then you know, but oh yeah, yeah,
28:48
thank anyway, Yeah, okay, yeah, yeah, I'll always bounce back.
28:55
That's the one thing about me. I always bounce back. But I'll
29:00
actually be out there in September because you know, I know the competition is
29:03
getting ready to come up, and you know, I was wondering, I
29:07
was gonna ask you how you're feeling about the show coming up. You know,
29:10
I don't know. I don't know. We'll see training is coming going
29:12
pretty good, but I might wait and do one in November instead and just
29:17
have just coach justin through this one. Doudlsts are still not well, want
29:21
them to be. They're awful a little bit, and I have to be
29:25
smart with my adomen definitely have to. And when it's ready, it's ready.
29:30
And if it's and here's the thing everyone needs to remember. Nick literally
29:34
had surgery at the beginning of this year and not even to be it like
29:37
a couple of months after the beginning of the year, and you're still deadlifting
29:41
heavy. You're still lifting real heavy, everything looking good. So you know,
29:45
it's definitely understandable on you like, let me push you back because guess
29:48
what, sometimes you got to So I don't know it's still having made the
29:52
final decision yet, but I'll put you know, if it's ready it's ready.
29:59
If it's not ready, I'm gonna wait till it is ready. Yeah,
30:02
and that's that's the most important thing. Yeah, I do not want
30:06
to go backwards with this exactly. And so my squad's are doing pretty good.
30:10
I think I'll probably go somewhere between eight fifteen and probably eight thirty five.
30:18
Bench that she's going pretty good, she goes somewhere between four seventy four
30:23
and five oh seven right now. Yeah, everything functioning right, but the
30:29
dead's they're kind of hit and miss. One day it feels great, the
30:33
next day it just does not feel right. And when I'm feeling things tug
30:37
and pulling my stomach and I don't feel that feel quite right, that's when
30:42
I put the brakes on. I had an ingrowing on hernie fixed in two
30:47
thousand and one, and it literally took eighteen months for me to get to
30:51
where that felt completely right again. It was one hundred percent confident I was
30:56
going to do anything, and I don't think it's going to take that on
30:59
with this, but just to be safe, it's better to be safe than
31:03
sorry, And which is the truth, you know what I'm saying. November,
31:07
it's a whole new set of records. Yeah, why have them a
31:11
already? So yeah, you know, just to go after exactly and once
31:17
you set those people need to understand Nick setting these records. No one's close
31:22
to his numbers at the moment, nobody. This could be years held before
31:29
anybody can even come close, because Nick's literally the strongest human at his age.
31:33
Oh thank you. You know, it's it's pretty cool. I mean,
31:37
it's it's fun. I have a good time doing it. I can
31:41
still get after it, so I'm still gonna keep getting after it. I
31:45
love doing it. And when either it hurts too bad and I just don't
31:48
want to do it anymore, I'm just not having Fine, I'll just I'll
31:51
never ever, ever ever stop lifting. But they will come a day where
31:56
I just don't lift as heavy. I'll turn it back, I'll sell it
32:00
down. I'll bring that body weight down, you know, two seventy five
32:04
and two years later, drop it down some more. So it's me,
32:08
and that's the smart thing. Thing is like you gotta you gotta chase it
32:12
while you still love it. And then you know, and the thing is
32:15
I still like you still love the tramutary. Now, Nick still loves a
32:17
train. He has a schedule and nothing changes that schedule. You know what
32:21
I'm saying. Nope, So exactly, it's funny because I like to say
32:27
Nick's work comes after his schedule for training because he's I only work on the
32:32
days that I don't train, and if I do train that day, guess
32:36
what I'm not doing? Correct? So oh yeah, well, you know
32:44
with that being said, man, you know, it's good a good call
32:47
on the Shock Classic. We you know, we discussed quite a bit and
32:51
you know, like you know, also to the video already hit a million
32:55
over a million views. The thing is is, Eddie Hall cannot be left
33:00
unattended ever. And I'm pretty sure the majority of you seen the video,
33:07
but if you haven't, it's going to be in the It'll be in the
33:09
notes because it was a surprise and I don't know what he was. Well,
33:17
he wanted to have some fun at my expense, and he did and
33:22
we turned it into something that was pretty funny. So yeah, he just
33:27
like a plunger around on the top of my head. Yep. I never
33:31
seen him run that fast. He moved pretty quick out of there. Yeah,
33:37
the look on your face was like where is he? You already knew
33:40
who it was. I knew who it was. I just the whole thing.
33:45
It was just like where did he go? Exactly? But don't don't
33:50
worry, there's paid back will happen. Let's just say things will be creative,
33:59
It'll be fun. Hopefully that's one too, because well I can I
34:04
think I'm still can run faster if you can, so you know, but
34:08
he runs a lot more night, so we'll see well and SPA we'll find
34:13
out, yeah for sure. Yeah. But with that being said, Nick,
34:16
let these people know what we do and how and you know them them
34:21
great words well and honor Brian Shaw. Be great, train harder, train
34:27
smart, best your list, the best experience, what the Nick can best
