- 1:53you know, getting ready for our show here it's coming up soon, July
- 1:57eighth, that's it. Eight And you're with that, what's your show called.
- 2:07Okay, we've got the the Center of USA Strength Expo, and then
- 2:13we have the twenty second Central USA Stronger Man strong Woman Challenge that's for the
- 2:17amateurs. That's sanctioned to USS and then um, well, last year we
- 2:22had Master's Clash, which is a class show. But Clash has gone away,
- 2:25so now it's called the Pro Strongman League. So we've got the Pro
- 2:29Strongman League, Masters Championship, and we have a women's division, a forty
- 2:34plus men's division, and a fifty plus men's division. Nice. Nice,
- 2:39I like that. I like that. Just you know, I think the
- 2:44thing is is like as I got older, um, which is a long
- 2:47time ago. As I got older, it's like, you know, where
- 2:50did the masters go? And there was nothing for the masters, And so
- 2:53in in twenty and twelve, I started the first Master's America's Strongest Man.
- 2:58It was sanctioned through a sc um you know. We ran that for several
- 3:01years, which then led to Glenn Ross's show, which was Ultimate strong Man,
- 3:07which for several years could use the title of Master's World strongis Man at
- 3:12least until UM Official strong Man took that back. I believe it was that
- 3:15twenty seventeen. I think the year first year you was sixteen, sixteen,
- 3:19two sixteen yesterday. Um so, I mean that's that's kind of what it
- 3:23was. It was just give a place for the uh the old guys to
- 3:25go compete. And then you know, over years, as I got closer
- 3:30to fifty, you know, we conn'd win more house with with osg end
- 3:34up putting on a fifty plus class, which um is going into its thirty
- 3:38year now. So which you played second last year? Awesome feet, I
- 3:43mean, um, I survived in place sixth so did two strong old dudes.
- 3:50Yeah, that's fun. It's a good time. It was a good
- 3:52time. It's a good time. That was. That was my last show.
- 3:55So it's it's it's still it's still hard to live with, but it
- 4:03is what it is. It is what it is. And forwards, Yeah,
- 4:06it's good. I'm gonna power with the studs. But yeah, um
- 4:10so, what's going on? Who the big people coming into your show?
- 4:13I mean, I know Brian's going to be there. Well, yeah,
- 4:15Brian, Brian's coming back. I think the crazy thing is, like you
- 4:18think the first time he came to our show is twenty fourteen when he was
- 4:21two times world Staunis Man and that was the twentieth version of the show.
- 4:26UM, so he's back. Travis Ortmeyer's coming back. He's gonna come after
- 4:30that Master's title. UM. And the Master's men the forty plus. There's
- 4:35Travis Ortmeyer, Mitch Hughes, Chris Schwant, Doug Maywell who was there last
- 4:41year, Gary Lloyd who is there last year, David Bayer, Kip Leitner,
- 4:46and then Jesse Landis. So that we've had a nice little line up
- 4:48there. It's a little light. We had, like you know, as
- 4:51masters go, we kind of sometimes brittle, So we had like four guys
- 4:55off out in that class. Now the women's class, which I said last
- 5:00year because everyone cried if we why don't you have a women's division? I
- 5:03said, if I don't die from running the show, I'll put on a
- 5:06women's division next year. So we have five ladies, Kristen Anderson who's actually
- 5:11from Springfield at Missouri, Christie Stefanik, Jenny Morton, Christina Brook I can
- 5:18never pronounce her name, Brio and then t York which I can never remember
- 5:25what her first name is. So we've got five lads fight for that.
- 5:29The Master's fifty plus men. You know, we've had like four guys drop
- 5:31out, but we still have a pretty healthy group of guys. So Albi
- 5:35Machaney who's Big Bad Santa. He just turned fifty, so he's coming to
- 5:39play. Dennis Troll, who was fifth last year at Master's fifty plus Worlds,
- 5:44will be there. Mike Kromer just turned fifty the pressing, he's gonna
- 5:48come clean it up. Mark Bevans, who's been in the sport for a
- 5:51very long time. I think the first time we compete against each other or
- 5:56we're at the same show as like nineteen ninety nine. Andrew Burwell's from Canada.
- 6:00He did a great job. He made the finals last year at Master's
- 6:03fifty plus. See this list. Um. Joe Groppie who was the winner
- 6:09of the press you know, he did a great job in the pressing.
- 6:13Weed Woody who was uh seventh at fifty plus, George Pearson who was third,
- 6:19Brad Freill from Australia's coming back. So um, we've got a good
- 6:24group of guys. It's gonna be a it's gonna be a knockdown dragon.
- 6:27I don't I don't know who's gonna win. I think the cool thing is
- 6:30we contacted wins. We're working with OSG, so all of our winners get
- 6:33a spot to h OSG and the Official Strongman Games and the Master's World Championship,
- 6:41and we're paying their entry. Man, it's a big help. That's
- 6:44a big help. It's a good help. It's it's getting up. There
- 6:47is what eighty five dollars, so we're picking up that bill. Plus we
- 6:54have plus we have prize money and stuff. So nice, it's good.
- 6:57And you guys are gonna be live streaming too, so I sure for those
- 7:00who want to watch this show, the link will be in the notes.
- 7:02Yeah, up with a d l um, they're gonna live stream the Master
- 7:08Show. Um. We started eight a m. Central Standard time, so
- 7:14it's pretty early for you folks out there in Vegas. That's like six.
- 7:17Yeah, it's like it's like six in the morning. I think it's like,
- 7:19okay, wake up at six. It would be fun to wake up
- 7:21too. I mean that's wake up. You can have a cup of coffee
- 7:26and you can get your morning going right. Watch Actually, to be honest,
- 7:30I'll actually be awake that day. Well maybe that'll be your motivation.
- 7:33Normal, that's right, William, that's right, you're in Fiefa. That's
- 7:36why. That's why I'm not going there. Yeah, yeah, it kills
- 7:41me. Kiki and I tried to work that out, like I was gonna
- 7:43go there, it's gonna have her come here. But it's like this was
- 7:46the weekend that worked for our venue and for Brian, so kind of kind
- 7:50of got to do it when when it works exactly. That's the one thing
- 7:55about throwing the show is you you gotta go when you gotta go, when
- 7:58it's time to go. Yes, for sure, when the opportunity is available.
- 8:03Yeah, because now you know the venue, you can be booked up,
- 8:07and it's it's just hard to get that out, you know. Yeah.
- 8:11I think the next thing is is next year, if Brian comes back,
- 8:13we don't have to worry about his competition schedule because he's finishing his career
- 8:18at the Shaw Classic Theater this year August nineteen from twentieth. So I'm just
- 8:22gonna be all a shameless plug for the Shaw Classic. There still tickets left.
- 8:26I think you should buy one, go watch the show because I will
- 8:28say this, having been to every major show, every major pro strong man
- 8:33show, I can honestly tell you this, The Shaw Classic far exceeds everything
- 8:37else you've ever seen, right, and then you're gonna get the added bonus
- 8:41at that and the best judge, Yeah, the Mark PHILLIPI yes, my
- 8:50brother, I gotta do this. We don't look like the same. Oh
- 8:56that's it. No, Oh yeah, that's cool. I'm excited. It's
- 9:01gonna be a neat, neat and fun show to watch. And they're gonna
- 9:03battle it out, so it's gonna be it's gonna be good. What are
- 9:07the events of one of the weights? Um? Well, the events we
- 9:11have a Conan's wheel. Um, so the way it's very I think it's
- 9:16four hundred for the women, five fifty for the fifty plus guys, in
- 9:20like six fifty or six sixty something like that for the for the forty plus
- 9:24guys. So I've tested, Um, the six sixty, I really don't
- 9:31like it. Um used to be conswlle with one of my favorite events.
- 9:35It just hurts and I don't like it. I took the Master's fifty plus
- 9:37weight for a turn and said, you know what, it's doable. No
- 9:41one's gonna zero it so good. UM had a couple of people test the
- 9:46women's It worked out well, so I think that's gonna be a good event.
- 9:50We're gonna actually run three at a time, so it'll be kind of
- 9:54cool to watch our show ups year at the same time. We actually have
- 9:58four, but we're only gonna run We're only gonna run three because that's what
- 10:01ADL wants us, just to run three. So we'll run three at the
- 10:05same time. So the whistle will blow, everyone's picking up, everyone's going
- 10:07like a race. There we go. I think it's gonna be a really
- 10:11funny if you can go in the direction, which every direction you wanted,
- 10:13and you have people going opposite directions. Now we're all going clockwise, man
- 10:18all starting the same spot. It's going to be marked off. It's gonna
- 10:20be awesome. So second event will be the deadlift. So the ladies,
- 10:26I think are pulling three seventy five. I believe the Master's fifty plus is
- 10:33pulling five to fifty or two hundred fifty kilos, and the Master's forty plus
- 10:37is pulling six to sixty or three hundred kilos and its reps. That's gonna
- 10:41be for reps. They have sixty seconds to get it done. No suits
- 10:46allow that, you know, So we took the suits out of the equation
- 10:50because I think that shows some pure wall strength. M not that I mean
- 10:56you gotta be a good pull or even parent suit. But still, you
- 10:58know, I think that's gonna cut down the number of reps. So I
- 11:01think we're gonna see like double digits. Yea there, but I think that's
- 11:05interesting. The so are you gonna no figure eights or or because I know
- 11:09that they had banned him for World Strong is so are you guys gonna be
- 11:13uh? I can't. I didn't I wrote the rules, Salona, I
- 11:18can't remember. If the figure eights are are there, then your thumb has
- 11:22to be around the bar. Okay. So I don't necessarily hate figure eights
- 11:26personally, I don't. I don't use them, you know, because one
- 11:30time I had to use them. I want to finish the rep and I
- 11:31try to let go and the next thing, you know, my face planet.
- 11:33So it wasn't for me. So I actually use Olympic half straps,
- 11:39which then I can release whatever I want. Um, So i'd actually have
- 11:43to look back at the rules that I can't remember. A lot of them
- 11:45are not I think since Cerberus is a sponsor of Pro Strongman League. I
- 11:50think we left him in it. Okay, um okay. The third event
- 11:54will be an axle clean and press away. So the ladies are pressing one
- 12:00seventy five, the master's fifty plus is pressing two fifty five, and then
- 12:07the forty plus guys are doing three hundred mm, so Crumber's gonna do twenty
- 12:13um he I kind of don't see anybody even come close to Crumber. He's
- 12:20a pressing, you know, not in that he's people honest, he's deceptively
- 12:26fast in the farmers in the yoke, you know, because in the twenty
- 12:30seventeen uh USS Pro Nationals, I mean he won, he won the farmers
- 12:37men, and he won the yoke. He just but honestly, he just
- 12:39bungled the bags and the bag load. That's what cost him. He won
- 12:43the press, he won the farmers, and he won the yoke and didn't
- 12:46and then placed third. So that's why you gotta be consistent all the way
- 12:52through, all the way. So the fourth event is a farmer's walk and
- 13:00a yoke medley swit's farmers down and back and then yoke down and back.
- 13:05A distance is listed as fifty feet. Once we get in the venue,
- 13:09I've got to look at it. We might have to shrink that down little
- 13:11bit. I mean all the guys listening and we're like, oh yes,
- 13:13please shrink it down. Link in it. The women, the women's weight
- 13:20is like one eighty and like four four four fifty the women's masters, which
- 13:30is I think is a pretty stat stout weight. Um, the fifty plus
- 13:33guys are gonna do two sixty and the farmers so down and back and then
- 13:37h seven seventy in the yoke. So not lightweights, especially for fifty year
- 13:43old man that's just moved. So I think it's gonna be good. Uh,
- 13:46young masters are gonna do I believe three hundred per hand and then eight
- 13:50hundred eight fifty on the yolk. Yeah. I wrote these weights like six
- 13:56months ago, so I can't. And the last that's something a little unique.
- 14:01Um, we're gonna do a bag toss for reps. So the women
- 14:07have a thirty five pound bag, the fifty plus guys have a fifty five
- 14:11pound bag, and they and the young masters have a sixty five pound bag.
- 14:13It's over a twelve foot bar winner over over twelve, but it's for
- 14:18reps. So you've got toss your bag and then you gotta chase it down
- 14:20and toss it again. And today when I tested that out, it's uh.
- 14:26I did seven reps and thought I was gonna vomit because it was Yeah,
- 14:31that's gonna be sucky running to get the back at the bag and then
- 14:35like get it back over to there, because if you throw it too hard,
- 14:39too far, you're gonna on penalty. Just I will say that there's
- 14:43a little strategy to it. You gotta be in condition. You can't be
- 14:46you can't be a two pump, you know, swing swing throw. It's
- 14:50gotta be a swing go because you're you're gonna I don't see anybody getting Yeah,
- 14:56it's sixty seconds, man, you gotta you gotta go. So I
- 15:00think that's gonna be good. I'm really excited for it. I think it's
- 15:05gonna be a good show. We're gonna run it fast, you Nick,
- 15:09You know how I like to run my shows fast. We will finish this
- 15:11puppy in two and a half hours. I mean, we're gonna get these
- 15:15old geezers out so they can get a good nap and get to get to
- 15:18their dinner. At four o'clock. Okay, yeah, but you know we've
- 15:26like with a number of people we have, it's twenty four athletes. It's
- 15:31gonna be like two flights of women, you know, I want to say
- 15:33it's three flights of the forty plus guys and then four flights of the fifty
- 15:37plus guys, so it won't take long. And we've got so much warm
- 15:41up equipment, you know, we're gonna be bringing We're gonna have multiple extra
- 15:46yokes and extra farmers on top of the contest equipment, so we'll probably have
- 15:50three in the warm up airing three out. You know, I think the
- 15:52number one complaint I've ever heard of any show, so there's not enough warm
- 15:56up equipment. So we take that seriously. And we're gonna have echo bikes,
- 16:02We're gonna have rowers. You know, you're gonna have all the barbells
- 16:06and stuff. So it's gonna be awesome. Doug Madewell from Madewell Strength is
- 16:10supplying all of our equipment, so everything that's there for sale after the show,
- 16:15so you can pick some stuff up at a pretty good price. I
- 16:18think that's great. U Intech Barbell is going to bring up all of the
- 16:22barbells, so we're using Intech PowerBar and they're gonna bring up all the plates
- 16:26for the show, so which is still also we're selling all that at the
- 16:30shows and we don't want to take anything we don't have too, so that's
- 16:33pretty cool. Our title sponsors the you know, the United States Marine Corps.
- 16:41Yeah, they really batted up and last year we had the Air Force.
- 16:44This year the Marine stepped up. You know, they gave us a
- 16:45lot of money. You know, they're gonna be there. You know,
- 16:48we do a lot of work with the recruits for the for Marine recruits and
- 16:51all the recruits here in town, just giving back to them, which is
- 16:53a way to say thank you for protecting our freedom. But they're gonna be
- 16:57out there. They're gonna have they're gonna bring out a big truck and there's
- 17:03gonna do some cool stuff. I don't want to let you gotta show up
- 17:04to see it to see see how cool stuff they're gonna do. So it
- 17:07sounds like there'll be some pull up challenges over there. There's gonna be some
- 17:10pull up challenges. I mean, top all that off. So we've got
- 17:12the two strong Man shows. We also have CrossFit Fringe, which is one
- 17:17of our local crussfit boxes. Tyler. Lastly, he's a good buddy of
- 17:19mine. You know, one of the first guys I met when I got
- 17:22here. Allow me to come over as Jim and train, didn't even charge
- 17:25me and just let me train there, and you know, we got to
- 17:30be really good friends. And he they're gonna put on a Deca fit which
- 17:33is part of like the rebox Bartan race um they've got so they they're starting
- 17:38at seven am, going to seven pm. Oh so our masters are in
- 17:42the morning. They're going all day and then once the masters to finish.
- 17:48What's that that sounds like that's no, that's you know I it's wait,
- 17:56no, that's that's ten minutes of cardio. I don't want to commence cover.
- 18:00I mean, I'm good for about ninety seconds of all out effort and
- 18:03that's it. That's funny. That's funny. That's funny. Um. But
- 18:10they're gonna be there and then the amateurs, Uh, we'll finish, The
- 18:12Masters will clear the field, let everyone grab some lunch, and then we're
- 18:17gonna amateurs are gonna kick off at two o'clock and again we should be done
- 18:21with them by about six. We got about seventy athletes in that show.
- 18:23Nice about how many years of experience do you think it's gonna be at this
- 18:29uh at this event? Oh god, no, no, no, I'd
- 18:33have to have a calculator to figure all that shit up. There's a lot,
- 18:37that's a lot of There's a lot of guys there. I mean,
- 18:40honestly, well, I think like you look at Mike Cromer. I mean
- 18:44Mike. I met Mike in ninety nine at Beauty and the Beast, So
- 18:48he's been going as almost mean I started five years before that, because he's
- 18:52still been going. I mean, you know, there's guys. I mean,
- 18:56guys have came in and out. You know, a lot of young
- 19:00a lot of new guys that didn't get into sports till like five years ago,
- 19:03you know. So I mean I look at like Mike. Mike has
- 19:06a lot of wear and tear. I mean, I've got a lot of
- 19:07wear and tear. You know, there's one hundred and twenty shows under my
- 19:11belt. That's a lot of shows, but a lot of just a lot
- 19:15of cool people. And I think what's funny is like someone asking why I
- 19:18do It's like, well, it's a great way to get all my friends
- 19:19to the other and just hang out. You know, It's true. You
- 19:22know. It was like, I mean, that's one of the reasons why
- 19:25I do it, because I still have so many good friends in it.
- 19:27No, I'm just excited to be able to I look at this, I
- 19:30just want to give back to the sport, you know, and keep something
- 19:34alive for the mature athlete. Yeah, there we go, the seasoned athlete
- 19:41that wants to continue to keep Because it was like, I laugh because all
- 19:44these young kids are like, you know what, I'll never go to Masters
- 19:45if I can't compete me open fuck it, I'll never compete again. And
- 19:49then you turn forward and you're like, hey, wait a second. I
- 19:52still like doing this stuff, you know, and I want to still compete.
- 19:56I still want to have an outlet for that athletic endeavor, you know.
- 20:00So it's like, you know, and then he turned fifty and you're
- 20:04like, man, I really don't want to compete with those forty year old
- 20:07kids anymore. So, I mean, and the thing is like, I
- 20:11don't know, last year at Master's World, there was I mean, it
- 20:15went down to the wire. I mean, you didn't know who was well
- 20:17you kind of knew who was gonna win because Mark had done such a great
- 20:19job, but like who was gonna be on the podium, you know,
- 20:22And I think there was still a shot at going into that final event that
- 20:26it was between it was between Andy Clark from England and Nick and and and
- 20:30well Andy was in second, and then George was in third and I was
- 20:33in fourth, right, so you jumped all we were all a point apart.
- 20:38Yeah, and then we finished the way it finished, like George b
- 20:47Andy who was two points ahead of me, and then I'd be George and
- 20:51Andy. So that's why I got second. Well, I think that's what
- 20:56makes it so interesting. You didn't know who's gonna win to it And I
- 20:59said that whole show, like, you know, I think it's gonna go
- 21:02down the wire. I don't think you're gonna know who's gonna be. I
- 21:03don't think you'll know who's on the podium until the line of the last event,
- 21:07right. Mark had had a stellar day, you know, I mean,
- 21:12it was just it was it was it was Mark's day that day.
- 21:15And it's like I've seen enough contests like you see when the guys like he's
- 21:18on fire and he had a great day, you know, and I was
- 21:22still just yeah, you were still fighting coming back after dropping the bar and
- 21:29out. Yeah, there was a lot of psycho everything, so right,
- 21:34so there was no way I wasn't gonna do it. So I just I
- 21:38just went get it. So you know what, you know, I just
- 21:42I'm a little pissed off still that you just didn't tell us it was your
- 21:45last one until you walked down and dropped the shoes out knock that we had
- 21:48done it any different way. But still, you know, you come walking
- 21:52off and dropping I was I'm over here crying, get I gotta still go
- 21:55to the stones. I'm like, what the fuck you? Yeah? I
- 21:59was. Yeah, it was just it was a decision. I had been
- 22:04thinking about a lot of the weekend, and it's kind of I just didn't
- 22:10know what it was going to be after the kidney, because I kind of
- 22:15knew at that point, we knew the tumor was there. We knew then
- 22:19I was probably gonna They're probably gonna take the kidney, and we just didn't
- 22:22know if it had spread into the yard or the bladder, and so we
- 22:27were we still had that to find out, and I knew it was coming
- 22:32out soon. I just didn't know how soon, and I didn't. I
- 22:36started reading up a lot on kidneys and their function and rapped oh and like
- 22:42all the issues with it with training and stuff like that, and I just
- 22:48figured, I, you know, since I came and did this anyway,
- 22:52I'm I might as well do it there because I don't know if I'll ever
- 22:56do another full well strongman contest. You know, you made the decision.
- 23:00It's not You've had a storied athletic career, you know, playing college football,
- 23:07being a world class power lifter for Christ for three decades. You know,
- 23:12That's what I mean. You know, Ben and I were talking before
- 23:15you got on so like, you know, it's like when I met you
- 23:17in two thousand and five. I mean, you've been competing in and uh
- 23:19and it was did they switch over? It was an ADFP are they switched
- 23:22over to USAPL by then? Uh, it switched to USAPL in nineteen ninety
- 23:27seventy. Okay, so the last few the ADFA was nineteen ninety six.
- 23:32I just dated myself because I ADFPA was there when I started power thing,
- 23:37you know, so ADFA USA power fing. But you know, I mean
- 23:40we were talking about tasks like you know, you came up and when you're
- 23:42in a drug tested organization, you you build your strength through training, right,
- 23:48And I think that's the hard thing we were been I were talking about
- 23:52longevity. It's like all these kids coming in the sport, they just think
- 23:55that's you know, jump on some drugs and that's what's on. It takes
- 23:57like it's all in your training and train smart and what's your longevity? You
- 24:03know, and you know, well, I think a lot of the industry
- 24:06has it all completely backwards anyway. I mean, if you really look at
- 24:11things. We know muscle takes about two days to heal from an intense workout.
- 24:17When they cut your stomach open and sew it back together and the muscle
- 24:21heals, it takes about eight weeks for that to heal. When they reattach
- 24:26your tendon to your bone, to be all the way healed, it takes
- 24:30about six months because there's less blood flow in the air, there's less nutrients,
- 24:36there's less everything. Well, what makes you think it's not the same
- 24:38in training? It is. Tendons heal three times slower than muscle. That
- 24:45means they're not healed till the sixth day or seventh day, and everybody's worried
- 24:51about how fast muscle work covers when that doesn't matter. And that's what nobody
- 24:53seems to get. It matters how fast you're connective tissue heals, you're connecting
- 24:59your CNA. I mean, too many people are just pounding their cns and
- 25:02they wonder why they're fried all the time. Yeah, or the young kids
- 25:06that like have to psyche themselves up and shit like yeah, we take a
- 25:08deep breath and just go do it. Act like you've been there. You
- 25:11know. It's like it's like like we're worlds and like Nick, we'rething.
- 25:17The young kid twenty three year old, it's like he's all fired up yelling
- 25:19at you. It's like, dude, just chill out. He's gonna squak
- 25:22this. He's fine. He doesn't need to yell at you. There's some
- 25:25difference between twenty three and fifty three. I don't need to yell because those
- 25:30guys do that ship to me all the time, Like you guys don't need
- 25:32to yell at me. I'm gonna do the lift. You know, I
- 25:34get in my own head. I don't need you know. It's it's being
- 25:40able to get into your head and do that with regardless of what the music
- 25:44is, regardless of what the situation is, regardless of anything, and just
- 25:48do it. If you can't put yourself in the state to do whatever it
- 25:52is that you need to do athletically or lifting wise, or whatever all buyers
- 26:00solved, then you're doing it wrong. Yeah, playing it simple. You
- 26:03shouldn't need it. It's great when you got great music and great train cars.
- 26:07I'm not gonna you know, like I trained by myself half the time
- 26:11now, you know, so I just go in, I know the numbers,
- 26:14I know the training. Just got a good at done. You know,
- 26:17there's nothing magical about it. Just go punch the clock. Now.
- 26:21If it's a great day and you're feeling great, take a little bit more.
- 26:23Some days you come in you feel like dogshit, Take a little bit
- 26:26less. You know, you've got to be a regulate And I think that's
- 26:30the hard thing everyone has an issue with looking at how do I aught to
- 26:33regulate my own training. If you're not feeling well, don't push it.
- 26:37That's when injuries happen, right. Yeah. If you if you come to
- 26:44gym and you're having a ship day, pack it up and leave. It'll
- 26:47still be there tomorrow. Yeah, it did. Like a day ago.
- 26:51Nick had the same thing where he called me. He's like, I'm leaving.
- 26:55It's just it's too much today, And I'm like, but that's the
- 26:57thing is like it's understanding. Just like you said, it's like, roh
- 27:02okay, guess what I might have. I pushed myself a little too much.
- 27:04I need to recover and relax them. And unfortunately everyone's like I need
- 27:07to outwork, I need to outtrain, they need to outdo these seats.
- 27:11But you also need to understand, just like you said, your CNS,
- 27:14your body, your tending is your muscles. You're gonna be able to read
- 27:15that shit right, you know right. And the thing is like understanding I
- 27:22think that's the hardest thing, understanding your body. You know. Even again,
- 27:26I coach a lot of people and my ethics. You gotta understand your
- 27:30body today and I can write the greatest program. But if you're not feeling
- 27:34today, maybe it's just not there. So you gotta have the room to
- 27:37have your clients do an audible you know you're pushing. There's only like everyone's
- 27:42like they try, like, well, I'm benched five hundred for one to
- 27:45day, I'm gonna bench five fifty at the meet in eight weeks, Like
- 27:49dude, Like, no, doesn't work that way. It's not magic,
- 27:53you know, it just takes time. And I think that's the hardest thing
- 27:56for a lot of young kids to realize, is that at strength comes over
- 28:02time. You look, I started training nineteen eighty. You know that's a
- 28:06long long time. You know. I mean I laugh because I my numbers
- 28:11are not quite ten percent below they were at my best, and now I'm
- 28:17closing in on fifty five, you know. You know, like this year,
- 28:19like I've got this bum knee trying to get it rehab because I want
- 28:23to squat seven hundred again. You know, I've done up for thirty plus
- 28:26years. I want to do it again. You know. My press is
- 28:30you know, my strict press have been focusing a lot of because I can't
- 28:33really push a lot from that aggravates the shit on the my knee. So
- 28:37I mean, when my time I popped up, it's like I had a
- 28:40My best ever strict press was three hundred pounds. I'm strict pressing two sixty
- 28:44five. You know, So it is what is you train it, And
- 28:49I think that's the cool things as an older coach to all, I've lived
- 28:53through my twenties and my thirties and my fourties and now my fifties. So
- 28:57like a lot of people I coach, they're younger't like I've been through that
- 29:02portion of my life. It's really fun to watch him when they're making all
- 29:04these crazy games because you know, like, God, I'm kind of jealous,
- 29:08really wish. I wish I had a really good coach when I was
- 29:11in my twenties, you know, I had here. Yeah, but then
- 29:15what do you learn over time? You can pass it on? So I
- 29:19mean, I train a ton of athletes because we at the Preseas Speed School,
- 29:22we focused on kids. So I've got kids and teams and I've got
- 29:26strength athletes. So I'm in charge of about three hundred people's different workouts,
- 29:32you know. So it's really fun to watch. And I just had one
- 29:33of my soccer kids. He's just turned fourteen. He's one hundred and fifty
- 29:37pounds. He just pulled three fifteen whoa, you know, with perfect technique,
- 29:41you know, because but I've been training since he was nine years old,
- 29:45you know. So it's just when you see that stuff as cool or
- 29:48like I mean, Nick squattered with you down in at Worlds and he just
- 29:52hit a seven thirty five for a triple on his dead left nice and he
- 29:56just crossed him. He's really working his butt off for the USS Pro International.
- 30:00Yeah, he pulled, uh he yelled, walked a thousand pounds like
- 30:06it was nothing. Yeah. I just saw him post the video for it
- 30:08not that long ago. Yeah. And then this this last weekend, they're
- 30:11messing around the stones. He loaded the four thirty stones. Yeah, like
- 30:15four times I've seen it. I was all like I was God damn,
- 30:18because like we were like I said, uh, you know he's uh this
- 30:22is uh younger Nick for those who are listening, because uh, Chad's got
- 30:26his His guy is uh Nick, and we got Nick here, so we
- 30:30got you know, you've got much better looking Nick and then younger Nick,
- 30:36old Nick and nun Nick. I'm just trying to mean, it's funny that
- 30:41we were at Worlds and it was like, so he's around him, him
- 30:44and Trey were hanging, they were they were all together. So it's like,
- 30:47I I guess there was the lamb before time. It was like big
- 30:48Horn, little Horn. Yeah. Yeah, it's absolutely hilarious. But you
- 30:53know what's funny is like, you know, when you've done it for a
- 30:56long time and you see kids like that. I mean, I've got I've
- 31:00got a few kids that are just phenomenal there that will end up turning pro
- 31:04and have a great shot at going somewhere with it, you know, And
- 31:07then I get I got a couple of other mean, Trey and Kevin are
- 31:11doing great. I mean they're both yeah, getting ready for Giants, live
- 31:15in England and they both go to the North Americans and after that they're at
- 31:18the Shaw Classics. So yeah, you know, it's fun to juggle different
- 31:22events and teach different skills and you know, I don't know, it's gonna
- 31:26be It's gonna be a fun summer. That's it. It's definitely gonna be
- 31:29a fun summer. It's gonna be a great a great summer to watch too,
- 31:32because, like I said, we got a lot of events coming up
- 31:33and you know, and that's like one of the main focus of what we're
- 31:37talking here today is is you guys are promoting the sport that gave everything to
- 31:41you. And that's what we want to do because, like I said,
- 31:44the more people that know about this because you know, social media can only
- 31:47reach so far. You know, videos can only reach so far. But
- 31:48we want to try to make sure that we're expanding as far out as we
- 31:52can to help you guys and help everyone find the sport. And you know,
- 31:57there's I don't know how many people I've grown up knowing that, or
- 32:00like, oh, I used to watch Strangman when I was a kid,
- 32:02or I've seen Strongman on TV and I'm like it, guess what, it's
- 32:06still going. It's still thriving, you know what I'm saying. And sometimes
- 32:08just a little quick glimpse at a little video, a little shot, and
- 32:12all of a sudden, the sports read revigorated in somebody. You know,
- 32:15I think it's kind of funny because, um, when when I'd seen it
- 32:21when I was a kid. You know, it's like it was like nineteen
- 32:22ninety four and I remember, and I'm sure Nick can remember Randy Strawson from
- 32:27Iron Mine, and you know it's like I got the magazine, you know,
- 32:31Milow, and you know, I'd ordered some equipment and I was like,
- 32:35you know, I finally called Randy. I want to find a Strongman
- 32:37contests. Well, there's one in Sugarloaf Pennsylvania, and it's at this time
- 32:40of the year, it's like, I can't do it that because I'm playing
- 32:43football. So like we decided to put on our own show. So that's
- 32:46how we started the Central USA in nineteen ninety four, you know, and
- 32:51we just grew it every year, and at one point it was the biggest
- 32:53show in the United States. It's still the longest running show in the United
- 32:57States. So it's kind of a neat thing there. I was like kenned
- 33:00too, like the Rose Bowl, the granddaddy of them all. But I
- 33:02think we were the first show to ever have a woman show. I had
- 33:07a woman show for three years before I actually had a woman do the show,
- 33:09so I started. Yeah, we recycled those trophies a lot um.
- 33:15Then we did Uh. We were the first people to have weight classes.
- 33:20We're the first people to have a novice class. So I just want to
- 33:22get more people into sport, you know. So we're owning a jams um.
- 33:30I don't that was around that same time. We were in the mix
- 33:35of it. I was kind of really there with Willie and Dion and the
- 33:38old Pirate Jim Davis, remember Jim Davis, you know, so you know
- 33:44I was. I've been literally in my laugh because I've been here since the
- 33:46beginning and I'm probably one of the only ones that has been between you know,
- 33:50I was in there before Willie and Dion got into it too informed and
- 33:53they bought the North American Strongman Society from Bill Holland, you know, and
- 33:59then they formed their company and then they've split off, so they've got they
- 34:01had, you know us what they had NAS and North American Strongman Society and
- 34:08then they went to Strong American Strongman Corporation, so that was like a sc
- 34:15then that's shortened down to Strongman Corps. And then Willie came out in twenty
- 34:19fourteen and did USS. So I mean again, I've known those people for
- 34:25a long time and you know, I'm friends with them, friends with Willie.
- 34:30You know, it was there done all kinds of cool stuff. I
- 34:34mean, they both run a good business. So I mean I'm like this,
- 34:37I support all strongman you know. Yes, I sanctioned to USS,
- 34:42been to Strongman Corp nationals as a master, send athletes to it. Support
- 34:47lenn at osg you know, Chhawe Classic, I mean, whatever whatever it
- 34:52is and strong Aman. It's like I have no issue. If you need
- 34:54help, I'll be glad to be there and help because I want to see
- 34:59the sport grow. And and the great thing is if we look at where
- 35:01we're at. I mean, I mean, Nick, you were you were
- 35:04in a you're in a downtown uh street doing a contest, and now we're
- 35:08doing contests and big venues came along. Lay I mean parking lots that's where
- 35:15it was. Now we got venues, and I look at it. Mean,
- 35:17I mean Europe has it a lot more than we do. But look
- 35:20at I mean, look what Brian's doing with this with the Budweisers. It's
- 35:23it's gonna be awful book. And then just the sheer cool ass equipment he's
- 35:28making. You know, I can't I can't wait to see the bench press.
- 35:32You know. I seen like on one of its videos. I saw
- 35:36the power stairs and then don't have fingles finger It's yeah, it's kind of
- 35:40like that next level stuff. And I think the cool thing is now you've
- 35:43got people actually making a living off of it. I mean I had a
- 35:47sponsor at one time for like three years. It gave me a lot of
- 35:51money to travel, so I did every show I could, didn't make a
- 35:53lot of money. But so I look at I got twenty thousand dollars to
- 35:55travel and I made eleven thousand dollars. It's thirty one thousand dollars I made
- 36:00as a pro strong man, you know. I mean, Nick, you
- 36:04have the opportunity with the TV show and like you've had so much other stuff,
- 36:07and it's like, I want to see that for where are the kids
- 36:09that are coming up now that they're in their twenties, can they can they
- 36:13make a living as a strong man, to monetize strong man? And I
- 36:16think that's where I want to continue to see it grow, is keep giving
- 36:22people opportunities and like as specifically for us, I mean the Master's class,
- 36:27Like give the master something, you know what. I hope there's a sixty
- 36:30plus Masters Worlds because fucking ay, I'll just have to live that long and
- 36:32survive and be I'll be the only one left. But my goddamn it,
- 36:36I'll win that world. There's two second places. Well I'm never gonna say
- 36:43never, but it's not very likely, but it's the right situation comes up,
- 36:49you can see me back doing a story. If there's a sixty plus
- 36:51Masters Pro you're ass better do it. Well, you know he's just two
- 36:55days behind you. I know, that's what I'm saying, especially the indscemible.
- 37:04If you want to, Hey, dude, if you want to,
- 37:05if you want to come to West Virginia beat my bag, bitch, I'm
- 37:07down man, I might do that. I mean I'm doing I could put
- 37:12on a light of cane patch up. I fed your ass, you know,
- 37:16slaped you whatever you need. Man. It was good. Yeah,
- 37:19we had a lot of fun that Come to your bag, bitch. Absolutely,
- 37:25that'll be fun. That'll be fun. I just I know I don't
- 37:29have to yell. I just have to say, hey, go pick it
- 37:31up. Let's go. How do you get it lifted? Yeah, just
- 37:34give me my right crispy treat for crying out lowe man, sure give me
- 37:39that greatness extreme. I need to get jacked up to lighten up. That
- 37:45is. That is definitely probably one of the best. Is one of the
- 37:54absolute worst tasting things I've ever drinking, as far as the energy drink goes,
- 38:00but as far or pre workout goes. But as far as function,
- 38:04it is probably the best. Function. But you gotta remember now was put
- 38:07together. There's seventeen active ingredients. It's really a bitch to flavor. I
- 38:12don't care what work. I still think Brian should have just said, you
- 38:16know, there's a drop of his ray band sweat in there, and every
- 38:21survey that's why, that's why, that's why it tastes. That would actually
- 38:28be funny, that's why its in it. Yeah, hands down, it's
- 38:35It's real, it really is. It's uh, it is by far the
- 38:38one. That's why I've ever used so all right, shame was plugged there
- 38:42for Brian's brand's product. Oh yeah, oh yeah, hell, while we're
- 38:45at it, you know, because I can see the evolution athletics back there.
- 38:50I mean I do, I do really dig the new sleeves nine knows.
- 38:55Yeah, the nine sleeves are just you're just funny. I gotta get
- 39:00him a pair. I keep saying it, but I keep a job.
- 39:04I like the new trip applies. Well, you know why, just because
- 39:08you're special and you get him for everyone else. And I'm watching a video,
- 39:12I'm watching them. I'm watching I'm like, wait a second, what
- 39:15the hell? Because first I saw him, I'm like, what are those?
- 39:21And I had to I stopped the video, ran it back, blew
- 39:22it up. When he's got and then he's the belt. I can't wait
- 39:25till that ship comes out. That's what I'm waiting on, is the rubbing
- 39:30all of our faces. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, awesome Exactly
- 39:35every time I say I was like, ah, man, I need a
- 39:37new lever belt too, and it's just like like, man, I don't
- 39:39know next So how much longer do we have to wait till we get that
- 39:43stuff? Uh? You know what. I have not talked to the man
- 39:47in a bit. Um. He's a little busy right now, I know,
- 39:51so I don't know the release dates, but I will try to reach
- 39:54out and find out. Well, you know what, he's gonna be here
- 39:58next week, so I'll pick him up an airports. We'll ask him.
- 40:01So that's another shameless plug, like hey, for our show, Brian Shaw
- 40:05will be here on Friday night seminar at our facility at the Missouri Athletics Center
- 40:12here in Columbia, Missouri and the Preseaspeed schools inside it. He'll be there
- 40:15for three hours on Friday night and he'll be at the show all day on
- 40:19Saturday. So a great opportunity to see Brian Um. Not much like what
- 40:24five, six weeks out from a shaw classic. He's he's large and in
- 40:29charge. He's looking good and you know, um, he's gonna yeah,
- 40:35he's gonna bring h He's definitely bringing the heat to the show. I'm glad
- 40:39that we've got a great crew of guys going out. They're gonna help,
- 40:43you know, if we can just keep him from doing too much the five
- 40:45days before the show. Yeah, you know that's key. But you know
- 40:49it's Brian. So you know, no one can no one can drive his
- 40:52truck and no one can drive the forklift. But you know he will.
- 40:54But you know that's I don't know. They were moving some stuff today,
- 40:58you know, so it's, uh, it'll be interesting. I can't wait
- 41:00to see that show. You know, it would be nice that we all
- 41:04know it's his last one. We were there for world and the last one
- 41:07kind of just watching, you know, having been there, like I remember
- 41:12meeting him in two thousand and six of his first show. Yeah, yes,
- 41:15yes, we all cried. It's okay, we're yeah, but you
- 41:21know, see him at the Shawl you know, you know, in a
- 41:24perfect story book ending, he will he'll win, you know. Sorry,
- 41:30but as a coach of an athlete. I want to see my guy three
- 41:34Pete would be nice. If he doesn't, he's gonna have to earn it
- 41:38because you know what Brian is looking. Wow. Yeah, it's gonna be
- 41:45a wow wow. It's gonna be a hell of a weekend. And to
- 41:46be honest with Mitchell, Hooper's looking pretty gnarly. Yeah, now he's it'll
- 41:51be Uh, it's Saturday. It's gonna be a fun show to watch.
- 41:57M hm, that's it. Now when I have uh, do you to
- 42:00see that video of Trey and Nick eating that two foot five pound burrito?
- 42:05Yeah? That that meet his macros? Yeah, it probably exceed as macros,
- 42:08but we won't tell Nathan. I don't remember. Well, this is
- 42:15funny because I'm gonna say this because it's like we're sitting there because we stayed
- 42:17with Trey's parents during World so we're all in the same house. It's like,
- 42:22yeah, and Mom passed through him under the bus saying, you know
- 42:24how Trey likes his sweets. Trey likes his sweets and his gravy, which
- 42:29I thought it was shit. So I told that to Nathan. He goes,
- 42:31you know, it's Texas, it's antabolic graveyam oh, he will say
- 42:37that since since Trey hired Nathan Peyton, he he is performing better and he's
- 42:45leaner and bigger, which he was doing pull ups down will here when he
- 42:49was here for the power Slap. You know what I'm saying, I'm like
- 42:52and making them look extremely easy. You know, that's a that's a close
- 42:55to a foreigner pound man doing doing pull ups and he man, he just
- 43:00I don't know if you saw us for ways one it was this last side
- 43:05handled that left before Giants Live. He pulled ten ten for a trip with
- 43:10plenty left in the tank. It's just you know, he's just it's gonna
- 43:16be interesting interesting year. Oh yeah, oh yeah, yeah, it's it's
- 43:22gonna be fun to watch. I can't wait to see what these guys do
- 43:24at the show. I can't wait to see what everybody does at the Central
- 43:28USA. I can It's gonna be fun to watch, and I mean it's
- 43:30a fair of the sport. You you need to tune into these things.
- 43:34And they're both gonna be on. They'll both be live stream, yeah,
- 43:38both alive will be live stream, both of them. So that and the
- 43:43link will be in the notes. Click the link that's because as you click
- 43:50the link, because that helps pay the athletes. You know what I'm saying,
- 43:52And that's what we want to do. We want to give back to
- 43:53the sport, get back to to to what we all love to watch because
- 43:58you know, like like I, you know, I I say it over
- 44:00and over. It's like I watched it when I was younger, but then
- 44:01getting tied into this now it's like it's really like opened my eyes more to
- 44:07what I didn't really notice when I first started watching. Because you know there's
- 44:09when you when you watching when you're young, you just damn that is crazy.
- 44:13But then the next technique and the way it needs to be done is
- 44:16crazy. Well, I think the cool thing is then actually you can get
- 44:21there and you actually meet the guys, and I think that's I think this
- 44:27just kept me coming. It's like the people, man, it's the people.
- 44:30It's like the friendships, you know, the lifelong friendships. I mean,
- 44:32it was funny because Grant Higa was just in Colorado, so who was
- 44:36at at Brian's place and there I must have got to work out or something.
- 44:40But he posts something like in twenty fourteen when all the guys came out
- 44:45to our show, like we had a sponsor for the hotel, which was
- 44:47not the greatest of hotels, you know, so I got to hear about
- 44:52that on Grant's UM story today, you know, with Brian palling big time
- 44:58and you know you kept calling Brian big time Brian. You know, you
- 45:01know sometimes Brian doesn't return your call exactly when you're wind too. You know,
- 45:06it's like, yeah, he's Brian Stick, not my stick, big
- 45:10time Brian Shaw. Here you go. Yeah, I think that might stick.
- 45:15So it's funny because Grant hashtag hashtag big time, So I thought big
- 45:22time brother, but again big time Brian. You know it's it's he probably
- 45:29yeah, he probably can. I think I can still run for well.
- 45:36The good thing is this, with my new job, I can probably not
- 45:37shoot him. So true. Just like my dad said, Hey, I'll
- 45:43just shoot you in the five. It'll be a flesh one you'll be,
- 45:45You'll live. I have to qualify with them, by the way, did
- 45:47you Oh yeah, did you so you got your qualification for the in house?
- 45:52Yeah? My gun. My guns still getting worked on. I shut
- 45:55at two ninety four. Nice, So I did really good. Good.
- 46:01Next next time I come, we gotta go to range then that's for sure.
- 46:05Oh yeah, I haven't been the range. I haven't been the range
- 46:07since little shit like thirty years. Nick just shouldered a fifty cow I saw.
- 46:15That was awesome. That was fun. That was awesome. That was
- 46:17fun. And we did it again today, except for this time I hit
- 46:20the X boulder firing. I hit the X holding that heavy X guns.
- 46:24So I was pretty happy with that. That's that's awesome, man. It
- 46:29like it looks like a regular machine gun on your in your arm, right.
- 46:31That's why I was when he's holding them like looking like that's like a
- 46:34fifty cow like the normal person that's like huge, like looking at NID looked
- 46:37like a like a like a like like a NERF gun. Yeah. Well
- 46:42that's the cool part about like getting to work down there. Um I got
- 46:47I go in there a couple of days a week. I wanted to interns
- 46:50because I just wanted to learn more about guns and stuff. And uh.
- 46:53I talked to Chris, the GM of the place, and I was like,
- 46:57I'd like to intern just so I can look more. Because I know
- 47:00enough about shooting to be dangerous. I want to know about enough about shooting
- 47:05to be safe. And I just want to learn more about it. And
- 47:08she's like, well, I can't have an intern, but she goes,
- 47:10I'd hurting in a second. I'll just put you on the on the on
- 47:14the books, and when you want to work, just let me know and
- 47:15you can come in and do whatever you want. I'm like, okay,

- 47:51hell out here. That's my that's my job when we're out and about.
- 47:55That's all. I just I found it. I found it in music.
- 47:59It's how it's funny. No, it's cool. And I love meeting the
- 48:02people. I love talking to people and stuff like that, so it's just
- 48:06worth it to me. I mean, I enjoy it so but you understand,
- 48:10but you know, it's just the inside joke. But man, I
- 48:16tell you what, I had a ball like like today, I just I
- 48:21was like wow, and it's just the things I've learned in just three weeks.
- 48:24My shooting has improved like night and day, and it just keeps getting
- 48:29better. And Colton's awesome because he runs me through shit stuff and he teaches
- 48:32me technique and there's a lot of very good techniques with that, and I
- 48:37mean, he just when it comes to shooting, he just he's the man.
- 48:43He knows all the techniques and we just go through it and it's just
- 48:46cool. I mean, I eventually want to get to ourk and score three
- 48:51hundred. I think once I get my gun back because it's getting milled and
- 48:54we're getting the optics put on it. Because what I did today I did
- 48:59with irons. So that was that was pretty cool. That was very happy.
