  Speaker 3: you just you know, like I said, sometimes you see
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: you do stuff and you're just like, what the hell's
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: going on? You're fifty five years old, five hundred for
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: twenty and a solid twenty you know what I'm saying,
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: solid five hundred ass pounds and it's like, you know
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: that at your age, I think that's what's keeping you young.
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree, it's good to get back to that.
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: I know, if I can pull five hundred for twenty,
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: there's eight hundred in there, so I know it's in
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: there now. I just got to start going back to that,
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: which I'll ramp up for that probably in March, which
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: the plan is to do OSG in December and then
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: get ready for a power to meet in March. After that.
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: That's it. What was that, yok?
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: You just you just walk with for like what was
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: it one hundred and twenty.
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: Yards, well, one hundred and twenty feet, one hundred and
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: twenty five feet, and it was seven hundred and thirty pounds.
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: Just trying to get like time under tension. The goal
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: is to have the yoke move as little as possible
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: so it stays smooth the whole way. You get used
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: to walking that way and moving that way, and those
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: muscles get strong that way, so then we increase the speed.
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: It stays leveling fast and that's what creates speed when
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: you're running with the yolk is the more level you
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: can keep it and the less it moves, the faster
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: you're going to go. Period the end, I mean, it
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: really is smooth as fast. So it was just practicing
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: and training the core stability part of it, and then
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: just because it wasn't the goal wasn't to go quick.
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: The goal was just to go so yeah, I got
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: a hundred and twenty five feet Yeah yeah.
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: It made it look really easy and you hold record
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: in that so it's like, oh, yeah, you know what
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: I'm saying. So for those listening, those training, those want
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: to improve their yoke, it wasn't even that long ago.
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: We actually did as strong man seminar and Sacramento, and
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: that was one of the things you were trying to
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: teach these guys is like, look, so smooth as fast.
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying, you know, there's a little
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: hit technique in there that needs to be you know,
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: people need to learn because it makes so much sense.
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: And seeing people's like eyes light up, Yeah, they're like, oh,
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: I didn't even think about that, I'm like, well, that's
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: why you had the record in it.
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah. It's the little things that will make big differences
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: in the end and at the end of the day,
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: if you're trying to get to the professional level, shaving
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: a second or two off of anything will make the
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: difference between first and fifth place anymore. Yeah, I mean really,
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: if you watch Bold strongress Man, there's some events that
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: are decided. You got six guys all finishing an event
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: within the same second. So little things make a big,
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: big difference the further up the scale you get. So
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: it's kind of neat, it's fun. So it's the little
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: and I like that's the type of stuff I like
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: to do. I like to come in fix somebody's technique,
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: help them out, optimize their technique to their body type
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: and what their advantages or disadvantages are, and then watch
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: them improve. I mean, that's that's really what I love doing. That.
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: That is my favorite thing. I also don't mind coaching
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: that much. But it's I'd rather be working with somebody
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: than computer. But I'll take some coaching occasionally.
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: And and and here's the thing too, It's like, because
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: you're very vocal about it, like press pressing is not
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: your your your go to you know what I'm saying,
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: and what I mean President, I'm talking about overhead. You
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: know what I'm saying. Yeah, that's a whole completely different.
• 5:39
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: Now you Yeah, every time I see you push on
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: a bench, it's like, yeah, but you know that you you,
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: I know you were talking not that long ago about
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: changing your technique on your on your overhead, especially on
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: the log because that's that's.
• 5:56
  Speaker 4: Going to be coming up here pretty soon too.
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: It is.
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: We'll just keep that technique in the back pocket.
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: And so I I've changed it. So it's working out
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: pretty well. I'm on pace to do what I want
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: to do when I get to os G and it's
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: it's gonna be funny. It's gonna be a lot of fun.
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: It took a long time to figure out where I
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: needed to improve and how and why, and it turns
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: a lot of it turns out it's a mobility issue
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: in my back and in my upper back. So I'm
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: working on that and with the technique change, I'm not
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: it's gonna help.
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: That gets what and that that's all it needs to
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: be said, because that's that's one of the things that's like,
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: you know, and I know it's where we talk about it. It
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: comes up all the time, but like you got to
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: really think about this was about a year, year and
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: a couple of months you just had your kidney surgery
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: because of kid cancer, and you know, you were still
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: pulling weight, but you weren't pulling what you would normally
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: pull because guess what, you were trying to fix your technique.
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: You're trying to fix your muscle and balance. And that
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: was yeah, that was the massive part. But the thing
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: is is like it seems to have been coming back together.
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: So like even after a major surgery like kidney, that
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: kidney removal, you know, almost kind of going through rab though,
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: like there's all these little different things that that's happened
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: and let up. But now it's like you're almost right
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: back to where you was right before the whole situation.
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, oh yeah for sure. And it's it feels good.
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: It's neat to kind of be back where us. Still
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: have to be very careful with the amount of training
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: I'm doing, and I severely had to increase my fluid
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: intake because of it, which is fine because the more
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: fluid you take in, the easier it is on your kidneys.
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: And I don't know if you guys know this, So
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: drink a lot of water. That's why you know. Eddie's
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: always like, got to stay hydrated. He's right, you got
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: to stay hydrated. I cannot get to hydrated if I do.
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: I got to run IV bags to make sure, you know,
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: And it's it's kind of neat. Once you actually figure
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: it out, they're okay, well that was what I'm at today.
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: Shut it down, and then your body heels you're ready
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: to go, and you come back in. Watch the color
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: of urine. It starts getting dark. You need to get
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: more fluids in there. When it gets dark. Your kidneys
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: are struggling. Whether you like it or not. They're struggling.
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: Is if you got two and it's that dark, it's
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: you went, there's too much, so you have to adjust that.
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: And you can simply do that by just taking a pee.
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: You can actually see very well if it's very clear
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: or just a light yellow, you're good to go. If
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: it's dark, you need to get fluids in like, and
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: your kidneys are working super hard, so you don't want
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: kidney damage. Stay hydrated and get fluids back in here.
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: So it also leads me to another thing with the coaching,
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: because I was just to say, there's a lot of
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: coaches out there that know how to coach, but they
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: have no idea how to compete none. That was quite
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: obvious at the Shah. There's some really high level coaches
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: that were there that don't know how to compete on
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: game day, they don't There was rookie mistakes being made
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: by some of the some of these guys, and then
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: they sit there and learn, and like somebody will walk
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: up and he'll tell them what to do, and they learn,
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: and then they start teaching all their guys that, which
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: is crap but.
• 9:44
  Speaker 4: Under the belt, right.
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: And then also there's also some other issues that just
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: this is something a little different. Uh, there's a strength
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: coach here in Vegas that ran his ran a punishment
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: for a hockey team and went way too hard and
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: too Three of the kids had to go to the hospital.
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: Two of them got IVS. One this I think this
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: was on a Thursday and one of the kids got
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: on a Monday. His creatin ck level was at CK
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: Creton whatever you want to call it was at thirty
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: five hundred. They do kidney analysis.
• 10:25
  Speaker 4: At five thousand exactly.
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: You know it is completely Yeah, well this is an
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: elite level travel hockey team. They're already in good shape
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: and you push them to the to that point. Yeah,
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: you know, that's somebody who needs to be out of coaching.
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: They have no idea what they're doing.
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: Well right off top, you know what I'm saying, Like
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: kids are going to be kids. Yeah, and like to
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: put like because we had this conversation and it's like,
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: you can't push people to the breaking point in any
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: facet as a punishment. You know what I'm saying, Because
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: as a strength and conditioning coach, you should know what
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: limitations are.
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: You should know if once you reach muscle failure, you're
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: at muscle failure.
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: That's it.
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: Muscle failure is muscle failure. All you're doing is damage.
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: Anytime the moment they get to muscle failure, you do more.
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: That's just causing damage that it takes the way longer
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: to heal from what part of that the coach does
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: not understand exactly. I mean, you don't have to have
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: a PhD or any type of degree to figure that
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: out and know what it means. Yep, you don't. It's
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: not rocket science. It's all muscles of failure. Okay, well done.
• 11:33
  Speaker 4: Exactly and just.
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: You know, and it's just and it's the same thing.
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: You see these guys and you push people through these
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: super hardware. Look, I mean, conditioning is good, but there's
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: there's a line in there. Yeah, pushing people's strength levels good,
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: there's a line in there. That's why you don't lift
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: over your head. You take your PR jumps and incremental amounts.
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: You don't see people break a PR by one hundred pounds.
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: You see people break up PR by one to five
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: sometimes in extreme levels twenty. Yeah, at advanced levels, you
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: don't see, you know, a guy come out and squat
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: nine eighty and then turn around and squat one thousand.
• 12:13
  Speaker 4: And eighty exactly exactly.
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: You know, three months later, you don't see that. You'll
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: see the guy squat nine eighty, come and hit one thousand.
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: That's that's normal, but not one thousand and eighty. So
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: it's just a lot of the trainers, I see, you know,
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: I really don't understand a lot of things. They just don't.
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: And this is why the longevity part of it, This
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: is where the longevity part of it comes in. You
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: can train somebody and get them up there really fast.
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: You can do that to anybody. Yeah, you know, make them,
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: especially somebody who's willing to work hard. You can throw
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: that at them, throw a bunch of other stuff in them,
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: and they can get right up to the top really fast.
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: I'm not going to be there very long. Yeah, And
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: that's the whole key to everything in life is longevity.
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: I mean, I love strength training and doing all this stuff,
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: but I intend to stay strong until my seventy eighty ninety.
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: I don't see why I need to walk around and
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: be frail and small exactly.
• 13:13
  Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying.
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: You've changed the like you as a physical specimen have
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: changed the level of what strength can be at this age.
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: And you'll continue to do that, you know what I'm saying.
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: And it's all because it's it's being consistent, it's being
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: like reasonable and approaching things the correct way. That's one
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: of those things is like you know, you're very very
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: front up front about like this is how I'm doing this,
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: this is the way I'm doing this, and this is
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: the reason why I'm doing this, And you explain this
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: to a lot of people all the time, all the time.
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: Like I said, you are very generous with your time,
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: You're very generous with your knowledge, and you're very generous
• 13:49
  Speaker 3: with helping everyone around you when you see the need.
• 13:52
  Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying.
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: And that's one of those things is like you know,
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: you like, it's hard to stand back and watch somebody
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: do something that you don't you like, that doesn't make
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: sense to you, m hm. And you know, whether people
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: want to hear it or not, you always try, you
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: know what I'm saying, and you know, and those who
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: do listen have dramatically made and like won there because
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: I specifically need a few times at OSG were someone'st
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: what should I do?
• 14:20
  Speaker 4: How should I do this?
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: Or like you even dropping the hint like hey, if
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: I was you, this is how I do it. And
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: guess what when people heed that what you said, they've
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: won that event.
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: Mm or they've done pretty well in it, which is
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: awesome exactly. Yeah. So anyway, Yeah, that's that's my rant
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: for the day. If you're if your coach has to
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: talk to you like a doctor to show that they
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: are smart and know what they're doing, you got the
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: wrong coach. The doctor should be the coach should be
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: able to talk to you in a way that you
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: understand without over complicating things. You should be able to
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: take a very complex things and simplify them down so
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: that you can understand and talk to you at that level. Now,
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: if you're educated in the medical field, you should be
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: able to have that conversation with you as well. But
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: the biggest thing is being able to know what you're
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: doing and be able to relate it to people without
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: sitting there and saying things that they really have to
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: go look up or understand. You communicate in a relatable way,
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: and that makes you a better coach. Not that you
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: don't need to prove how smart you're right to somebody.
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: You just need to be able to relay your good
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: information to them so that they can learn how to
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: do it and go execute. That's it. That's all you
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: need to do as a coach, And then as a
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: coach at a competition, you need to know how to
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: do all the events that they've done and have all
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: the problems that they could be facing going into there
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: and know how to fix them all going in, Like
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: when you're going into oh, I don't know, stone over bar,
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: you get in an argument with a coach and everybody's
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: using the wrong attacking. Oh, we'll seem like, dude, I
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: was at the Arnold, I did the I did this
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: in the Arnold twice, got a pretty good idea how
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: to do it. He couldn't even lift the first stone.
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: So it's like yeah, yeah, so anyway.
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: It happens like that, And that's one of those things,
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: like I said, it's like, you know, you can only try,
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: and you always do.
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you just have patience for me. You want to listen, listen,
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: you want to listen, don't listen. It's up to you, dude.
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: It's I'm going to.
• 16:34
  Speaker 3: Go on and trust me, we're about to be at
• 16:37
  Speaker 3: OSG and it's about to be a thing.
• 16:39
  Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying.
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: That's gonna be a lot of fun.
• 16:42
  Speaker 4: That's gonna be a lot of fun. Exactly. You know
• 16:45
  Speaker 4: we strategy, Yes she.
• 16:47
  Speaker 3: Did, and those sandbags wasn't even that long ago. You know,
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: you were like, I gotta start here because and now
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: you know you're picking up the big boy and dragon.
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: Mm hmm yep.
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: So you know, honestly, too many people like like I,
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: you know, you know we I follow a lot of
• 17:05
  Speaker 3: straw man. I follow a lot of you know, I
• 17:08
  Speaker 3: rarely see anybody doing the tier drags the way you do.
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: And the same thing with the zerzer squats is like,
• 17:14
  Speaker 3: all of a sudden, I'm seeing a few people hitting
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: zercher squats right now, and it's that's something you've preached
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: and that the drags are another thing that you've always
• 17:21
  Speaker 3: preached too.
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, well it's conditioning, but the condition and
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: muscle for the time of the event. You know, you
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: don't need to do super you know, a bunch of
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: cardio that lasts longer than ninety seconds, you need to
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: do that type of You need to do cardio that
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: is between forty five seconds in a minute. That's extremely taxing.
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: That makes you go all out carry and drag will
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: do that or just a drag. Just keep dragging because
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: that will build the cardiovascular endurance you need for a
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: strong man contest. That's sports specific training. The thing is, though,
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: is you get used to functioning at one hundred percent
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: for that long of a time. Most people can't do that,
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: or even seventy or eighty percent, most people can't do that.
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: So then when you go do something like that, and
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: then say you do a carrying drag, and you do
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: like two or three of those, and then you go
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: get in the ring and do some jiu jitsu, you're
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: going at like forty fifty percent strength messing with somebody.
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: You can turn that on into the eighty ninety percent
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: and leave it on for like thirty forty seconds. Most
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: guys will only last ten to twenty, so you leave
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: that on for twenty, so you got twenty seconds where
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: the guys gassed out. That's that's the goal behind a
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: lot of that type of stuff and how things go
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: from one sport to the other. But it's it's a
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: different type of conditioning. But yeah, I love the drags,
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: I really do.
• 18:44
  Speaker 3: They're just miserable, Yeah, they are, you know what I'm saying.
• 18:49
  Speaker 3: I used to across the street from Nick. There's a
• 18:51
  Speaker 3: young kid that wanted to start lifting. He started lifting it.
• 18:54
  Speaker 3: He actually started getting there pretty strong, and man, when
• 18:57
  Speaker 3: you would say we're doing drags, his face would just
• 19:00
  Speaker 3: drop and he's but he would knock him out.
• 19:04
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, he's a good.
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: I feel bad now because like I'm in my training zone.
• 19:12
  Speaker 3: It's like oh yeah, yeah, no no that but that
• 19:16
  Speaker 3: that that that's part of it. Because like I said,
• 19:18
  Speaker 3: even when we first started, when to you know, I
• 19:21
  Speaker 3: come and you're like, look, it's not at you. This
• 19:25
  Speaker 3: is what I gotta do. This is my mindset, you know.
• 19:30
  Speaker 3: I no talking, no laughing, no bullshitting. This is what
• 19:35
  Speaker 3: I'm doing right now. Because that's how that that's the
• 19:39
  Speaker 3: level intensity that it takes for me to perform at
• 19:42
  Speaker 3: this level. And you know, and you know, like I said,
• 19:45
  Speaker 3: that's understandable. But the thing is is like you can't
• 19:47
  Speaker 3: have distractions when you're trying to lead up to something
• 19:49
  Speaker 3: like OSG right.
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: You know, like I get I really get that way
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: on spots. Yeah, you know something that you can die
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: when you're stepping out of exactly the wait in your back.
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: I'm very focused and don't want any goofing around. I
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: don't want attention going anywhere else but on what's going on.
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: Once the squats are over, have fun because I can
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: turn around and focus on what I'm doing. I don't
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: have to put the fight or flight into you know,
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: the Medley. YEP. I could sit there and like not
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: want to do it, and go this is gonna suck.
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: But I don't have to put the fight or flight
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: into that. When I'm stepping back, you know, with eight
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: hundred nine hundred pounds back in the day, I don't
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: want to hear people laughing in the background or moving
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: around or doing stuff. I want focus being on what
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: I'm doing I need to. I don't want my attention
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: going over here when I'm trying to put everything when
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: I need to put a thousand percent of my focus
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: right here, and once it's over, it's over, then we're good.
• 20:51
  Speaker 4: I just.
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: Five minutes, then we're good. Once I start wrapping my knees,
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: everybody shuts up when I'm done. When I'm done, when
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: then knee raps come off, everybody's good. When you go
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: back to it. It's not rocket science. It's not hard
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: to figure out. But that's the kind of level of
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: concentration and focus I want going on now. If I'm
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: out at a contest or whatever, and I'm in that
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: kind of zone, I don't notice anything else because they
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: don't have to pay attention to anything. The kids aren't here,
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: there's nothing else going on. I'm not at home, so
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: I don't have to worry about the things that are
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: around me at home. That's so it's a different mindset
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: when you're out.
• 21:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah, And it's a completely different mindset because like I said,
• 21:33
  Speaker 3: you've talked about this all times, like you don't rely
• 21:35
  Speaker 3: on music, you don't rely on anything else. It's like, no,
• 21:38
  Speaker 3: this is my focus, this is my attention. Especially when
• 21:40
  Speaker 3: it comes to squats and you're and you're pushing the
• 21:43
  Speaker 3: numbers that you push. It's like, you know it, practice
• 21:46
  Speaker 3: makes perfect. But the thing is is like, no, if
• 21:48
  Speaker 3: I line myself up like this every single time, it'll
• 21:51
  Speaker 3: always be like this every single time, and you can
• 21:53
  Speaker 3: do it safely, you know what I'm saying, because just
• 21:55
  Speaker 3: like I said, I see a lot of people, especially
• 21:58
  Speaker 3: in gyms and stuff like that. You know, there's just
• 22:00
  Speaker 3: as they're not lined in or like they're like, you know, like,
• 22:04
  Speaker 3: how much more effort could you put into this if
• 22:06
  Speaker 3: you really focus and dialed it in the way you do,
• 22:08
  Speaker 3: Because like I said, that's that's what you do.
• 22:10
  Speaker 4: You dial it in.
• 22:11
  Speaker 3: And when you dial it in, we can all see it.
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: It's almost it's almost like it's almost like going into
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: a meditation without going into a meditation. So except for
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: we're in meditation, you accept everything around you and you're
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: more in touch with everything that's around you. It's almost
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: the opposite where you close everything off and it's just
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: one single point, if that makes a difference. It's almost
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: like the polar opposite, but twice the focus.
• 22:44
  Speaker 3: Yeah, no, nd percent. It's what people always talk about,
• 22:47
  Speaker 3: that tunnel vision. You know what I'm saying.
• 22:49
  Speaker 4: It's like I can only see.
• 22:50
  Speaker 3: This one specific direction and everything else is gone, you
• 22:53
  Speaker 3: know what I'm saying, And like the seriousness of squatch
• 22:56
  Speaker 3: should be taken like that. At least I always feel,
• 22:59
  Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying, Like even when I'm squatting,
• 23:01
  Speaker 3: you know, it's like, you know, I'm tucking myself in.
• 23:04
  Speaker 3: I'm like I'm making sure, like you know, like I
• 23:06
  Speaker 3: have my own little ritual, which we all do.
• 23:08
  Speaker 4: You know.
• 23:08
  Speaker 3: We set our feet, set our hands, lock our you know,
• 23:12
  Speaker 3: lock back in and and go in. But the thing
• 23:15
  Speaker 3: is is like, you know, like it's trying to get
• 23:16
  Speaker 3: that tunnel vision to fucking maximum effort.
• 23:20
  Speaker 4: M hm, yep, that's it.
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: Absolutely so. But so that's coming up that looks cool.
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: Looking forward to going out and hanging out here in
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: Vegas at the Giants Live show. This could be here
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: yes September twenty eight. That's gonna be a lot of
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: fun getting go see the guys and hang out with
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: those guys a little bit.
• 23:39
  Speaker 4: Again, just at the shop, you know, so it'd be good.
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: I think there'll probably be a range day, probably like
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: either Thursday or Friday, where a bunch of us will
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: go to the range seven or two and do some shooting.
• 23:55
  Speaker 4: So that would will always be fun.
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: That'll be a lot of fun.
• 23:59
  Speaker 4: That's it.
• 24:00
  Speaker 3: A whole bunch of strong men hold a fifty cal
• 24:02
  Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying. You know, it's always did
• 24:05
  Speaker 3: like I think Mitchell. I think that was like the
• 24:08
  Speaker 3: best one. I like watching him do it because he
• 24:11
  Speaker 3: was like, why exactly.
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: Well, sometimes you need to stop a tank. That's it.
• 24:25
  Speaker 3: Nick, We're getting ready to get out of here. But uh,
• 24:27
  Speaker 3: you know, I want to let people know Nick likes
• 24:29
  Speaker 3: to watch a lot of movies, and Nick, I want
• 24:32
  Speaker 3: to talk about what's the movie that you've seen on
• 24:34
  Speaker 3: Amazon Prime or on a streaming service that you would
• 24:38
  Speaker 3: like just to recommend or that you.
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: See, Uh, what's the one I just saw with Michael
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: Keaton where he's a hit man but he's getting dementia.
• 24:49
  Speaker 3: What that sounds great?
• 24:51
  Speaker 4: Man that's getting dementia.
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: A hit man that's getting dementia and his kid kills
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: an adult that had had sex with his underage daughter.
• 25:04
  Speaker 3: What now that?
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: And the guy was grooming her and stuff, and he
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: just in a fit and raise goes to visit the
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: guy and kills him. And so he tries to set
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: he's trying to fix all that before he can't remember anything. Yeah,
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: and then you have to figure out whether he's actually
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: messing around because the guy was that smart and so
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: now it's acting like he has dementia. When it's nice?
• 25:28
  Speaker 3: Is it pretty new?
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah? It's pretty new.
• 25:31
  Speaker 3: All right, I'm looking here, says Knox goes away.
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: Knox goes away. That's it there he Gonox goes away.
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: That was actually pretty good. I got to kick out
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: of that one.
• 25:41
  Speaker 3: Well, I got a sixty five on the Rotten Tomato,
• 25:44
  Speaker 3: and uh, I'm definitely gonna watch. Yeah, it says diagnosed
• 25:49
  Speaker 3: with the rapid evolution from dementia. A contract killer that
• 25:53
  Speaker 3: gets redemption for himself, saving his life of the Life
• 25:58
  Speaker 3: of his Strange Son.
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: Yep, yep. So it's pretty neat.
• 26:04
  Speaker 3: Okay, we're recommending that it's on HBO Max. That's where
• 26:08
  Speaker 3: you can watch it. It also says you can watch
• 26:10
  Speaker 3: it on Amazon Prime, who we have a premium subscription. Yeah,
• 26:17
  Speaker 3: so as far as as you can pretty much get
• 26:20
  Speaker 3: it on all streaming services. That's what it shows right there.
• 26:23
  Speaker 3: So make sure you guys will check it out. I
• 26:25
  Speaker 3: think this is a little little segment that will add
• 26:27
  Speaker 3: in every so often just to kind of because like I.
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: Said that the Rings one for Lord of the Rings
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: the new series.
• 26:35
  Speaker 3: Oh the Town, is that the Ring of Power? Or
• 26:38
  Speaker 3: is the Rings of Power? Yeah? I think we actually
• 26:42
  Speaker 3: watched the first couple of episodes together. You know. That's
• 26:45
  Speaker 3: one of the things that I always enjoyed that, like
• 26:48
  Speaker 3: Mint has an eclectic taste in movies and shows, so like,
• 26:53
  Speaker 3: like I didn't know I like F one Racing until
• 26:56
  Speaker 3: we started watching that. I was like, oh, this is
• 26:58
  Speaker 3: like legit fucking great and on that we watched the
• 27:01
  Speaker 3: whole season on Netflix.
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: Mm hmm.
• 27:04
  Speaker 4: It was good, you know, yeah, exactly, so.
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: It was good. It's pretty neat. I mean, just but
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: the Rings when getting to see how the elves got
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: the rings, how the dwarves got the rings.
• 27:16
  Speaker 3: And the rings, how Sarn turned into Sarahn. You know
• 27:20
  Speaker 3: what I'm saying. Just off of that, like, and that's
• 27:22
  Speaker 3: where the last episode that I seen is when Mordor
• 27:26
  Speaker 3: exploded it became Moredor.
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: I think they released the first three seasons the season
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: the first three episodes of season two.
• 27:34
  Speaker 3: So okay, I'll go back and watch that too then,
• 27:36
  Speaker 3: because I said I vaguely, because we watched it a
• 27:39
  Speaker 3: while ago.
• 27:40
  Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying.
• 27:42
  Speaker 3: I go after a long training session and after you know,
• 27:45
  Speaker 3: eating and getting done, it's like, let's see what's on
• 27:48
  Speaker 3: you know what.
• 27:48
  Speaker 4: I'm saying.
• 27:51
  Speaker 3: Exactly exactly all right, Nick, well let's lead ourselves out
• 27:56
  Speaker 3: of here. Uh you know, we have some words and
• 27:59
  Speaker 3: and you know, and makes true to him?
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, you know, just everything comes down to focus
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: and what kind of attention you want to put onto it,
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: and surround yourself with good people. You know, if you're
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: going to get a coach, research the coach, you know,
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: and not just maybe even go watch the coach in action,
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: like when he's coaching people. See see stuff like that,
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: because you can go to Strawman coaches and see see
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: the ones doing like Travis Hortmeyer is awesome. Yeah, I
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: mean totally awesome. He would be a phenomenal coach for
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: anybody more experience knows the all the ins and out
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: stuff like that. But go go research, do your due
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: diligence when hiring a coach. Just don't hire them because
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: somebody told you the guy was good, or he's training
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: this guy, this guy, and this guy because he might
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: not be charging them.
• 28:48
  Speaker 4: Yeah, so.
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: Just pay some attention to that. Focus on everything that
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: you do that you want to succeed at. And he's
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: always trained hard. Transmarter to you the best YouTube I'll do.
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: You're listening to the best experience would make it best
