Speaker 2: what I'm saying, We got two tiers. If you join
1:03
Speaker 2: a tier, you get to ask a question and Nick
1:05
Speaker 2: will answer it. What I'm saying. All One of the
1:07
Speaker 2: other things we like to do too is you know,
1:09
Speaker 2: when new members come in, we you know you we
1:11
Speaker 2: get a new a new member in. We we mentioned
1:14
Speaker 2: them at the beginning of the podcast and a little
1:16
Speaker 2: bit of recognition from us because we appreciate it. And
1:20
Speaker 2: then when and then after that we really go into
1:22
Speaker 2: questions that we get submitted. So we got a question
1:24
Speaker 2: in this week too and a new member.
1:27
Speaker 3: Yeah, so Tashinara, I hope, I hope I Tashinari. Hopefully
1:32
Speaker 3: I pronounced that right, Lynn, Thank you for joining us.
1:35
Speaker 3: We appreciate it. A question run. Regarding your last response,
1:40
Speaker 3: there's still some parts I don't quite understand when it
1:42
Speaker 3: comes to fake news. We can choose to block it,
1:47
Speaker 3: but how can we protect those who may not be
1:49
Speaker 3: aware and could be misled. We protect those by miss
1:53
Speaker 3: that can be misled by talking to them and having
1:56
Speaker 3: discussions with people. Education is always how you protect against
2:01
Speaker 3: false information and talking to people and explaining your side
2:03
Speaker 3: of you. A lot of these people don't like to
2:07
Speaker 3: be confronted. They get very combative and when they are
2:10
Speaker 3: faced with well, why do you hate this or why
2:13
Speaker 3: do you not like this? And stuff like that, and
2:16
Speaker 3: give me one example, and they usually can't. It's because
2:20
Speaker 3: you know, they're basically brainwashed their program to be that way.
2:24
Speaker 3: So you just stay calm, you talk to them, just
2:27
Speaker 3: be like, look, it's this is your opinion, this is
2:30
Speaker 3: this is this is what it explained, your point of view,
2:33
Speaker 3: this is what I see from where I stand now.
2:36
Speaker 3: If you have something different, enlighten me and we can
2:39
Speaker 3: talk about it. The biggest crime in it is not
2:42
Speaker 3: talking with other people about these things. I mean, if
2:45
Speaker 3: people share their points of view on things and people
2:48
Speaker 3: know where each other is coming from, there's a lot
2:50
Speaker 3: less fear that can be spread by the media, which is,
2:53
Speaker 3: you know, which is the biggest problem with the media.
2:56
Speaker 3: Is they're more propaganda machines now than they are really
2:59
Speaker 3: true news news is to be honest, fair and impartial.
3:03
Speaker 3: And tell people that your news is supposed to be honest,
3:06
Speaker 3: fair and impartial. Is your news impartial? There's almost no
3:10
Speaker 3: news broadcasts anymore that's impartial. Almost none. Yeah, So point
3:15
Speaker 3: that out to people. So are they honest? Well? Are
3:19
Speaker 3: they telling the whole truth or half truth? If it's
3:21
Speaker 3: a half truth, that's not honest. And are they fair?
3:24
Speaker 3: Do they tell both sides of the story. If it's
3:26
Speaker 3: only a one sided story and there's two halves of
3:29
Speaker 3: the story, they're not fair. You're supposed to cover both
3:32
Speaker 3: sides of an issue, you know, and let both sides
3:35
Speaker 3: have a say, and let the information people are supposed
3:39
Speaker 3: to decide on their own. That's what the news was
3:42
Speaker 3: supposed to be for. Is they just reported news, not
3:45
Speaker 3: reported feelings, not talked about, not try to get to
3:47
Speaker 3: engage your feelings, but report facts and report actual things
3:55
Speaker 3: and then let you decide. Because we're supposed to be
3:58
Speaker 3: smart enough. Somewhere the media has decided that we're not
4:01
Speaker 3: smart enough to decide these things on our own, and
4:04
Speaker 3: that is completely false. So when you do see people
4:07
Speaker 3: the media out there and stuff like that. Start asking
4:09
Speaker 3: the questions, do you not think we're smart enough to
4:11
Speaker 3: decide these things on our own? And how come you're
4:13
Speaker 3: not honest, fair and impartial? Yeah, and hold them to it,
4:17
Speaker 3: you know, question him. So, I mean, that's that's kind
4:20
Speaker 3: of going to be the way. It's like educating people
4:22
Speaker 3: and pointing out things and learning from their side and
4:25
Speaker 3: what they're being told to be like, well, that's just
4:27
Speaker 3: you know, certain things are just not the case. No,
4:30
Speaker 3: that's these things didn't happen. These things did happen. Explain this,
4:35
Speaker 3: Explain your side of it, and try to communicate with
4:39
Speaker 3: people better, that's all.
4:40
Speaker 2: And be tall and manipulating that information to make it
4:43
Speaker 2: seem like good or bad. It's like, no, just report
4:47
Speaker 2: the facts and understand what the facts are.
4:50
Speaker 3: Right and report the facts. But the problem is is
4:54
Speaker 3: you know, Vanguard, State Street and Blackrock own eighty eight
4:58
Speaker 3: percent of all stock, including the media. Yeah, so they
5:01
Speaker 3: they put people in place from the top down. That's
5:04
Speaker 3: how they got control of everything. And then these people
5:07
Speaker 3: hire people with their points of view, which is why
5:10
Speaker 3: the news is so bad. And that's why the information
5:12
Speaker 3: is so bad. Is you're not hiring journalists anymore. You're
5:15
Speaker 3: hiring people that'll do what they're told.
5:18
Speaker 2: On camera exactly. You know what I'm saying. It's just
5:22
Speaker 2: it's so crazy how like the news is, you know,
5:25
Speaker 2: like you you have right wing and left wing news now, Yeah,
5:28
Speaker 2: and they're clearly labeled, and it's like now you only
5:31
Speaker 2: get fed what you want and not what the evening
5:33
Speaker 2: news used to be correct.
5:35
Speaker 3: Correct. So you should watch the other side and see
5:37
Speaker 3: what they're trying to say. I mean, both sides should
5:40
Speaker 3: always be paying attention to both sides because there's a
5:42
Speaker 3: little truth in everything, and there's there's a little lie
5:45
Speaker 3: and everything. So even the side that you would look after,
5:49
Speaker 3: they're not exactly truthful either. There's tons of stuff, you know,
5:52
Speaker 3: on the liberal side, and there's tons of stuff on
5:54
Speaker 3: the conservative side that you know, it's they're trying to
5:58
Speaker 3: pit us constantly against each other and everything that we do.
6:02
Speaker 3: There's no news that's trying to bring people together.
6:06
Speaker 2: Probing the news seems it's like it's trying to incite
6:09
Speaker 2: violence in both sides at all times as these Yeah.
6:13
Speaker 3: Well and then we got here and then we got politicians.
6:16
Speaker 3: Now that we have to get out there and fight.
6:18
Speaker 3: It's like you're inciting violence. No, it's like, we need
6:22
Speaker 3: to talk about these things. We need to hash these
6:24
Speaker 3: things out. We need to meet, we need to talk,
6:26
Speaker 3: we need to discuss. We need to educate each other
6:29
Speaker 3: to each other's point of view, not fight behind this
6:32
Speaker 3: and fight behind that. They inspire a lot of this
6:34
Speaker 3: stuff that's going on. It's not good.
6:39
Speaker 2: No, it's not good at all. They're they're inspiring as
6:41
Speaker 2: violence and then condemning the other side for the exact
6:45
Speaker 2: same thing that they're doing. And it's like, you know, yeah,
6:48
Speaker 2: it's like, you know, what happened to actual fair, partial,
6:53
Speaker 2: and let's do what's best for everybody. You know what
6:56
Speaker 2: I'm saying, Because there's gonna be concessions on both sides,
6:59
Speaker 2: but it's supposed to come down to what's best for everybody.
7:03
Speaker 3: Well, it's pretty clear there's things that need to change
7:05
Speaker 3: in our political system, just all the way around. And
7:08
Speaker 3: I think congress people shouldn't get paid with the median
7:13
Speaker 3: income is. I saw this on another thing and I
7:16
Speaker 3: completely agree with it. People in congres should get paid
7:19
Speaker 3: what their median income is for where they live.
7:22
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, that's what they should be packed. They
7:24
Speaker 2: should be pocketing money.
7:27
Speaker 3: And when they retire, okay, when they leave Congress, I'm
7:30
Speaker 3: okay with them keeping their medical benefits, but why do
7:32
Speaker 3: they keep getting paid the same amount of money they
7:35
Speaker 3: should They shouldn't be You're done working for us, You
7:38
Speaker 3: just you were supposed to be serving us, not ingratiating
7:42
Speaker 3: yourself for the rest of your life.
7:44
Speaker 2: Yeah.
7:45
Speaker 3: So, I mean it's it's a thing you served. You
7:47
Speaker 3: get a bonus where you can keep your your medical
7:50
Speaker 3: medical coverage, which I think also are politicians that have
7:54
Speaker 3: the exact same medical coverage as our military in our veterans.
8:00
Speaker 2: Right off top, Yeah, they should. They should have to
8:03
Speaker 2: jump through the same loopholes that they have to to
8:06
Speaker 2: get in there.
8:06
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, because the nursing at the VA is way better.
8:10
Speaker 3: I can tell you that right now. The nursing's better
8:12
Speaker 3: than it is in public because they're head counts different.
8:15
Speaker 3: There a number of patients that they have at one
8:18
Speaker 3: time is vastly different from where it is out in
8:22
Speaker 3: regular society, regular hospitals. But the doctors are not because
8:27
Speaker 3: they don't make as much and that's not right, and
8:30
Speaker 3: they don't have the opportunity to make as much so.
8:34
Speaker 3: You know, the VA that's here in Las Vegas, you know,
8:37
Speaker 3: is a beautiful building and it's it's stuck with everything
8:41
Speaker 3: except for their emergency room can't take emergencies. They transfer
8:46
Speaker 3: everybody to UMC and stuff like that. Why does the
8:49
Speaker 3: government run hospital need to transfer any veteran out of it? Yep?
8:54
Speaker 3: Why so it's it's kind of stuff like that that
8:57
Speaker 3: just doesn't make any sense. They should have enough good
9:00
Speaker 3: doctors there where they never have to do stuff like that.
9:03
Speaker 3: And these are things, the problems with the politicians that
9:07
Speaker 3: need to be addressed, and you do that through education,
9:10
Speaker 3: and you do that from speaking with people and talking
9:13
Speaker 3: with them, and they do now try to stifle our voices.
9:18
Speaker 3: You know, they do meetings on private property, not in
9:22
Speaker 3: public places anymore. Our politicians should be required to have
9:26
Speaker 3: all their campaign stuff done on government property where we
9:30
Speaker 3: can all go and vote our opinion to them, even
9:34
Speaker 3: the ones we like and the ones we don't like.
9:36
Speaker 3: We can go. Except for you don't do it in
9:38
Speaker 3: a bad way. You just ask questions of them, plain
9:42
Speaker 3: and simple, you know, you just be like, okay, well,
9:46
Speaker 3: why why is eighty percent of our medical costs administration?
9:53
Speaker 3: And then our copay is ten and twenty percent. Politicians
9:57
Speaker 3: need to answer to this because if our copay is
9:59
Speaker 3: twenty percent in the amount that doctors make us twenty percent,
10:02
Speaker 3: aren't we already paying for our own medical What do
10:04
Speaker 3: we need all the rest of this stuff in the
10:05
Speaker 3: first place? For, I mean, it's all just a profit machine,
10:11
Speaker 3: because I mean, if it's what our cope is, we
10:13
Speaker 3: can all pay for that ourselves, and then we don't
10:16
Speaker 3: need any of the other stuff. So it's things like
10:19
Speaker 3: that that needialy looked at and addressed. It really does, definitely,
10:23
Speaker 3: So it would be beneficial because to reinstate the FCC
10:29
Speaker 3: Fairness doctrine, which required news to be honest, fair, or impartial,
10:33
Speaker 3: you could lose your broadcast license. It needs to be
10:36
Speaker 3: updated to include all forms of social media, all forms
10:38
Speaker 3: of Internet. Anybody who's going to report anything calling it
10:42
Speaker 3: news or media needs to be held to honest, fair,
10:47
Speaker 3: and impartial.
10:48
Speaker 2: Exactly.
10:50
Speaker 3: The government, our our congressmen and our senators and our
10:54
Speaker 3: politicians at all levels, not only should they have to
10:58
Speaker 3: take the oath of office, they should be sworn into
11:01
Speaker 3: office and if they lie to us be removed from
11:05
Speaker 3: perjury and all their benefits, all their pay everything done,
11:09
Speaker 3: cut off gone, you know, and and that's it because
11:13
Speaker 3: they serve us, they're supposed to be serving us, and
11:17
Speaker 3: they're just they're they're not doing it. And this is
11:20
Speaker 3: part of the problem, you know, that that we have
11:23
Speaker 3: is they they they serve special interest groups, they serve
11:28
Speaker 3: whoever's in the super Pact, they serve the NGOs. That's
11:32
Speaker 3: also something that needs to be addressed because so much
11:36
Speaker 3: money is just being laundered through NGOs and the money's
11:42
Speaker 3: not getting where it needs to go. I mean, you
11:44
Speaker 3: put you put one hundred million dollars and the charity
11:49
Speaker 3: that they did for the for the fires in some
11:52
Speaker 3: California palisades, they raised one hundred million dollars for that,
11:56
Speaker 3: and they divvied all that out to NGOs and none
11:59
Speaker 3: of it made to the residents. One hundred million dollars.
12:02
Speaker 3: You know how much stuff they could of did with
12:04
Speaker 3: that for those people, and they literally did nothing. It
12:07
Speaker 3: all went to NGO's and poof it was gone.
12:09
Speaker 2: That's frang, Yeah, that is wrong. And even that, like
12:14
Speaker 2: all that money that was made could have went to
12:16
Speaker 2: all the help that they needed for these people to
12:19
Speaker 2: just restart their homes as well, pay pay for the cleanup,
12:25
Speaker 2: and then guess what that would have happened. Guess what,
12:29
Speaker 2: like a lot of people would have been able to
12:30
Speaker 2: actually be rebuilding their homes.
12:32
Speaker 3: Right now, right But the biggest way that we're going
12:35
Speaker 3: to get this is to communicate to one another, not
12:38
Speaker 3: to just take your side and you stand on your
12:40
Speaker 3: side and this one takes their side and stands on
12:42
Speaker 3: the other side. The best way we're going to do it,
12:45
Speaker 3: So if you're liberal or if you're a conservative, or
12:48
Speaker 3: whatever else in between, the only way it's gonna get
12:52
Speaker 3: fixed is if we talk to each other and we
12:54
Speaker 3: start re establishing a common truth in this country and
12:58
Speaker 3: throughout the world. The news used to be a common truth.
13:01
Speaker 3: It really did, and it is not anymore. So you
13:05
Speaker 3: turn on one country's news and you turn on this
13:08
Speaker 3: country's news. The BBC just got busted for, you know,
13:13
Speaker 3: messing with some of the Trump videos and doctoring them
13:16
Speaker 3: to make it look a certain way. And everybody at
13:20
Speaker 3: the BBC that did that should have been terminated, And
13:23
Speaker 3: if that came from the top position, they should also
13:26
Speaker 3: be terminated, and the retirements and everything else from that
13:29
Speaker 3: should be stripped from them. It's that big of a deal.
13:34
Speaker 3: It truly is. So anyway, I'm getting off my soapbox
13:39
Speaker 3: on this, So because I go on with this for
13:42
Speaker 3: another hour.
13:44
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, you know, that was a good question and
13:46
Speaker 2: it's a good spot for us to pivot.
13:49
Speaker 3: Well, but so, like, like I said, don't just necessarily
13:55
Speaker 3: block the stuff, but like the stuff that's coming in
13:59
Speaker 3: that you don't want to see, that's fine. But when
14:01
Speaker 3: you have the opportunity to speak with other people that
14:04
Speaker 3: are like that, that's that's where things change. That's where
14:06
Speaker 3: it really does. It's just speak to people from a
14:10
Speaker 3: good place, not to cause any harm. And if you disagree,
14:12
Speaker 3: it's it's okay to agree to disagree. There's nothing wrong
14:17
Speaker 3: with agreeing to disagree with people. There's nothing wrong with
14:20
Speaker 3: that on either side. But at least they know what
14:25
Speaker 3: you think, at least they know where you stand. At
14:27
Speaker 3: least they know what you're after. Yep. So there's there's
14:31
Speaker 3: plenty of good There's much more good things that'll come
14:34
Speaker 3: from talking with one another than standing there and just
14:37
Speaker 3: being angry all the time. So yeah, okay, that's all
14:41
Speaker 3: I got to say about.
14:43
Speaker 2: Well, like I said, the world's strongest, world's Strongest Man
14:47
Speaker 2: twenty twenty six is coming here, and it's coming up
14:50
Speaker 2: at the end of the you know what, two more weeks.
14:54
Speaker 2: And yeah, with that happening, you know, let's get some
14:58
Speaker 2: insight to the people that are listening and the people
14:59
Speaker 2: that are watching it, because and when I mean insight,
15:03
Speaker 2: a lot of times, you know, on the professional level,
15:06
Speaker 2: on the high level, you know, uh, you got to
15:08
Speaker 2: keep your strategy, you got to keep your training, you
15:11
Speaker 2: got to keep your prep close to the chest. You
15:14
Speaker 2: know what I'm saying. You could speak on talk a
15:16
Speaker 2: little bit, share on you know, you know, training clips,
15:18
Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying, But you're not showing the
15:20
Speaker 2: best clips. You're not laying out like prep, food, feelings, emotions,
15:26
Speaker 2: you know. And and then also too, when you get
15:28
Speaker 2: the events, how to strategize for the events, how to
15:31
Speaker 2: prepare yourself for the events, and then just a complete breakdown.
15:34
Speaker 2: So we were talking with Nick, and guess what, let's
15:38
Speaker 2: let's just lay us out a blueprint plan of what
15:41
Speaker 2: you would do from the moment you were invited to,
15:46
Speaker 2: you know, get getting to World's Strongest Man. Like what
15:48
Speaker 2: would you do once you got the invitation and then
15:51
Speaker 2: got the events? And then okay, now you have the time.
15:55
Speaker 3: Okay, well once you get invited, depending on how much
15:59
Speaker 3: time you get from that, I would basically first need
16:06
Speaker 3: the events. So once you have the events, you can
16:09
Speaker 3: start kind of developing what order they're going to go into.
16:13
Speaker 3: You know, what's gonna be the events on the first day,
16:14
Speaker 3: and what order they're gonna run, what's events the second day,
16:17
Speaker 3: what order they're gonna run. If you make the finals,
16:19
Speaker 3: what's the first three events that day? And what are
16:21
Speaker 3: the next events on the last day on the finals,
16:27
Speaker 3: So first you got to find out what all those are.
16:29
Speaker 3: Once you do, then you can start strategizing. You know,
16:32
Speaker 3: you're gonna have to be in good shape because you
16:34
Speaker 3: got four days four days to compete. So yeah, I
16:38
Speaker 3: mean probably the last six weeks for sure, I would
16:42
Speaker 3: be doing basically like lighter, but I would be going
16:47
Speaker 3: through the whole entire contest. My body's going to be
16:50
Speaker 3: used to at that point functioning that way, and yeah,
16:53
Speaker 3: people are gonna get people are gonna say, oh, you're
16:54
Speaker 3: gonna get over beat up, You're gonna get this, You're
16:56
Speaker 3: gonna get that. I don't know. I did it ten
16:59
Speaker 3: times at work, pretty good for me. So I would
17:02
Speaker 3: set my things up like I would train in the
17:04
Speaker 3: order I'm doing the contest for so you know, if
17:07
Speaker 3: you got a medley first where you're doing a farmer's
17:09
Speaker 3: walk into uh power stairs. Sorry, I'm about to sneeze,
17:18
Speaker 3: and in the power stairs, that's the first thing I trained. Yeah,
17:22
Speaker 3: that's what I trained first. And I do not have
17:25
Speaker 3: the events in front of me right at this moment,
17:31
Speaker 3: but yeah, so I would do that first, you know,
17:35
Speaker 3: and then whatever the second event is, I would do
17:36
Speaker 3: that event. And I would first, I would start, you know,
17:39
Speaker 3: lighter than contest weight, and probably the last three weeks last, Yeah,
17:45
Speaker 3: from about the last month on for three weeks there,
17:49
Speaker 3: I would probably the first to the two of those
17:51
Speaker 3: weeks at the last month, I would do it at
17:53
Speaker 3: full weight, and then the third week I do probably
17:59
Speaker 3: three cores of it, and then the last week I
18:02
Speaker 3: probably do a quarter of it and then do other
18:05
Speaker 3: things mobility work, stretching, because you want to be healed
18:08
Speaker 3: up all the way. You want to be in shape,
18:10
Speaker 3: but you also want to be healed up all the
18:12
Speaker 3: way and ready to go. So whoever comes into that
18:15
Speaker 3: contest the most healed up and ready to go that
18:17
Speaker 3: they're they're also in great strongman shape, not physical shape.
18:22
Speaker 3: You don't have to be able to go out and
18:23
Speaker 3: run like a mile or two miles or stuff like that.
18:26
Speaker 3: You have to be in strong man shape. That means
18:28
Speaker 3: being able to turn it on and turn it off
18:30
Speaker 3: that day and go go give it everything you got
18:34
Speaker 3: and then still be able to recover from it and
18:35
Speaker 3: come back two days later and do a similar similar events,
18:40
Speaker 3: because there's going to be some events that are very
18:43
Speaker 3: similar to the qualifying heats, and so you've got to
18:45
Speaker 3: understand that. You know, the deadlift, you got a squat
18:47
Speaker 3: in the qualifying heats, and you got deadlifts in the finals,
18:50
Speaker 3: so that'll be good. That'll save somebody's back, that'll you know,
18:54
Speaker 3: do stuff like that. But it all goes together. So
18:58
Speaker 3: we train it that way. It's just that and simple,
19:01
Speaker 3: and once you get to contest, it's one set or
19:04
Speaker 3: once you get to that type of training, you don't
19:08
Speaker 3: need to do. You can work on technique. You should
19:10
Speaker 3: be working on technique all year round anyway, and do
19:13
Speaker 3: like a three week equoitation where you do nearly all
19:16
Speaker 3: the events. So one week you do uh axle press,
19:19
Speaker 3: the next week you do log press. The next week,
19:22
Speaker 3: you know, you do Viking press and training, and then
19:25
Speaker 3: the week after that you do dumbells. So okay, cool,
19:30
Speaker 3: So it's the second event.
19:31
Speaker 2: The second event is overhead circus metally.
19:35
Speaker 3: Right, So one I would develop a strategy with those
19:38
Speaker 3: dumbbells and find out what the rules are, because if
19:42
Speaker 3: the rules, if you don't have to set it on
19:44
Speaker 3: your shoulder the first two dumbbells, if you're really good
19:47
Speaker 3: at cleaning fast and can remove your hand, like you
19:51
Speaker 3: power it up here and you remove your hand here,
19:54
Speaker 3: you might be able to catch it and throw it
19:55
Speaker 3: all the way up overhead with one hand. You know.
19:58
Speaker 3: That's going to save a lot of time. Almost snatch
20:00
Speaker 3: grip it, you know, and then the last one, bring
20:02
Speaker 3: it up, set it, pop it. Okay, now you're done.
20:05
Speaker 3: You probably just save two or three seconds. Then you
20:08
Speaker 3: get to the uh, the barbell and you sit there
20:12
Speaker 3: and you clean it, press it. You know, you might
20:14
Speaker 3: want to get used to training. We are getting ready
20:17
Speaker 3: for that with an Olympic lifting bar or a really
20:21
Speaker 3: whippy deadlift bar, because the barbells that they have they're
20:25
Speaker 3: not on axles, they're they're really spongy. They wallow around.
20:28
Speaker 3: That's gonna throw people off. And I think they don't
20:31
Speaker 3: rotate either, if I recall. Okay, so they're gonna be
20:34
Speaker 3: whippy and the bar is not gonna rotate, so you're
20:37
Speaker 3: gonna have to catch it and you're gonna be oscillated,
20:39
Speaker 3: and then you're gonna press it up overhead. I remember
20:42
Speaker 3: watching them do that in China. It was crazy. But
20:47
Speaker 3: but you know, it's like I would train with the
20:50
Speaker 3: deadlift bar and do that and put really tight collars
20:52
Speaker 3: on it so it didn't rotate. Yeah, you know, And
20:55
Speaker 3: I would use the like the wagon wheels and stuff
20:58
Speaker 3: like that if you can, if you can get your
20:59
Speaker 3: hands on those, yeah, or just put it, you know,
21:03
Speaker 3: on a higher box that type of stuff. But yeah,
21:10
Speaker 3: the pick is going to be like a fifteen inch
21:13
Speaker 3: pick or so, so I put it up on like
21:15
Speaker 3: a six inch six inch what you gonna call it
21:20
Speaker 3: box jerk box. Yeah, I put you know, and and
21:23
Speaker 3: train with her it that way and go back and
21:26
Speaker 3: forth with it that way, doing as many reps, working
21:28
Speaker 3: on catching it, bouncing it, catching it, bouncing it, and
21:32
Speaker 3: get into the rhythm with it and get into a
21:35
Speaker 3: steady rhythm. And once you get in that rhythm, you
21:38
Speaker 3: stick in that rhythm until you can't, and then step back,
21:42
Speaker 3: take a breath, do a few more because you'll have
21:44
Speaker 3: a decent time limit on that, and then do whatever
21:48
Speaker 3: more reps you got in you. But that's how kind
21:50
Speaker 3: of how I go after that one.
21:52
Speaker 2: So third of that third of it is squat for reps.
21:56
Speaker 3: Squat for reps. Yeah, that one's that one's just gonna
21:59
Speaker 3: be kind of crazy they do. If they do the
22:04
Speaker 3: old steel ones like the ones I'm used to, Yeah,
22:08
Speaker 3: you come down, you touch, but you can't really bang
22:10
Speaker 3: it because they'll come off your back. If they go
22:13
Speaker 3: with the new pads that they have, you can actually
22:15
Speaker 3: tap those on there, it won't take the bar off
22:17
Speaker 3: your back. I would. I would definitely. You see Martin's
22:21
Speaker 3: doing it on on like belts, yeah.
22:26
Speaker 2: You know, on the on the cloth, the safety belts.
22:29
Speaker 3: Safety belts that are on that thing. That's probably a
22:32
Speaker 3: pretty good idea because Martin's was pretty good at that.
22:35
Speaker 3: I would also look at the other competitors that were
22:37
Speaker 3: good at that event in the past, like Martin's was
22:40
Speaker 3: real good at that, you know. And then you're allowed
22:45
Speaker 3: to wear a squat suit, so I would wear a
22:47
Speaker 3: squat suit, but I would probably not make the straps
22:51
Speaker 3: real tight. Just the bottoms snug, but not the straps.
22:55
Speaker 3: Not the straps real tight, because you need to breathe
22:56
Speaker 3: during those things. Yes, And then and know what the
23:01
Speaker 3: time limit is. If there's a sixty second time limit,
23:03
Speaker 3: know it. You know if there's not, because in the past,
23:08
Speaker 3: there was no time limit. Once you lifted the bar
23:10
Speaker 3: off and got the squad command, it was just however
23:12
Speaker 3: many you could do until you dropped it or racked it.
23:15
Speaker 3: But in seventeen they had a time limit. You know,
23:20
Speaker 3: nobody was ready for that. So pay attention to the rules,
23:22
Speaker 3: big things. Pay attention to the rules and look for
23:25
Speaker 3: wiggle room. And if you find something good, God, don't
23:29
Speaker 3: say anything in the rules meeting. Just wait till you
23:31
Speaker 3: get out there. Be like, it's not in the rules.
23:33
Speaker 3: Here's I got the official rules. They're signed right here
23:35
Speaker 3: by you, and it be discussed. So I can do
23:39
Speaker 3: it this year, and of course next year there'll be
23:41
Speaker 3: a rule for that. Yeah, but that's next year. So
23:46
Speaker 3: go through the rules, find any anything that you could
23:49
Speaker 3: possibly do to create some type of advantage for yourself,
23:54
Speaker 3: or just know the rules really well. That'll also give
23:57
Speaker 3: you it a big advantage because a lot of guys
23:59
Speaker 3: don't pay answer the rules that much.
24:01
Speaker 2: That's it.
24:04
Speaker 3: So the squat, I'd probably start with training, like if
24:09
Speaker 3: I was going to do it twelve weeks, I'd probably
24:11
Speaker 3: do at least two weeks of squatting five hundred for
24:14
Speaker 3: twenty yeah, and do that getting it down to the
24:18
Speaker 3: depth and stuff like that. Then I'd slowly increase the
24:20
Speaker 3: weight and then just keep doing as many reps as
24:22
Speaker 3: I can with that as the weight increased. You know.
24:26
Speaker 3: That's it's kind of what I did. But last time,
24:30
Speaker 3: last time I had the squat in my heat, I
24:33
Speaker 3: just squatted like eight seventy a month before at the
24:38
Speaker 3: US Open. So I just figured out a way to
24:42
Speaker 3: hold the bar on my hands and be able to
24:45
Speaker 3: low bar, you know, hold it low bar and still
24:47
Speaker 3: hold on to it not drop it. And that was
24:49
Speaker 3: a pretty big, pretty big deal. The grass kind of
24:53
Speaker 3: threw me off having the soft floor when we were
24:57
Speaker 3: there in Africa, So just be aware of that when
25:00
Speaker 3: you're training. It probably wouldn't hurt to have I don't know,
25:05
Speaker 3: a platform that has a little bit of giving it
25:07
Speaker 3: that'll help make you work on that balance thing. So
25:09
Speaker 3: if your feed are moving that type of thing every
25:12
Speaker 3: once in a while, so you get used to handling
25:14
Speaker 3: big weight that way because it makes a difference. Yeah.
25:17
Speaker 3: So yeah, that's kind of how I do those things
25:22
Speaker 3: for the squad.
25:24
Speaker 2: All right. The truck pull is next.
25:27
Speaker 3: Yeah, truck pull. I would train truck pull two different ways.
25:31
Speaker 3: One week I would pull it for the heaviest truck
25:34
Speaker 3: possible that I could pull the distance in sixty seconds. Yeah.
25:39
Speaker 3: The next week I would train a truck pull to
25:41
Speaker 3: make it as fast as I could make it, make
25:43
Speaker 3: it way lighter than to just do it as fast
25:45
Speaker 3: as I can. Because one year they have a very
25:48
Speaker 3: heavy bus pull where they let a ton of the
25:49
Speaker 3: air out of the tires and that thing takes like,
25:53
Speaker 3: you know, it would take the Journals and these guys,
25:55
Speaker 3: you know, you know, fifty six seconds to pull it
26:00
Speaker 3: out of the sixty or like when they did the
26:04
Speaker 3: Malaysia they did a semi truck with a trailer, but
26:08
Speaker 3: it had like thirty tires on it and with all that,
26:13
Speaker 3: with all that friction on the ground, I think only
26:16
Speaker 3: one person pulled it the whole distance. Yeah, you know,
26:19
Speaker 3: everybody else just gotta just got a measure. You know,
26:22
Speaker 3: it's pulling something that heavy one week and then pulling
26:25
Speaker 3: something light for speed, because like I said, you need
26:28
Speaker 3: to be able to adapt to whatever they throw at
26:30
Speaker 3: your game day and things do change, you know with that,
26:34
Speaker 3: So just be ready for both sides of those. Yep,
26:37
Speaker 3: next event, next event.
26:39
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is the last one for.
26:42
Speaker 3: Also, make sure you got rock climbing shoes or there
26:45
Speaker 3: you go, a wider type of rock climbing shoe with
26:47
Speaker 3: the same material. You know, have ge get a good
26:50
Speaker 3: wide pair of shoes and have them re re treaded
26:54
Speaker 3: with the rock climbing material. That'll also help because instead
26:58
Speaker 3: of having the small one for late the rock climbing shoes,
27:00
Speaker 3: you'll get a wider one that'll give you more grip.
27:03
Speaker 3: So that's my two cents on that, all right.
27:05
Speaker 2: Next one, it's a natural stone melody.
27:10
Speaker 3: The natural Stone Medley. Yeah. Well, all you gonna do
27:13
Speaker 3: is go down to a river somewhere and start pulling
27:16
Speaker 3: out natural stones. I would, uh probably where.
27:20
Speaker 2: You know, I see do it all the time? Is
27:21
Speaker 2: he go? He goes always posted videos of him down
27:24
Speaker 2: by the water. Say pick it up stones, just right?
27:27
Speaker 2: Random stones?
27:28
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's stuff like that, but you're gonna have to
27:30
Speaker 3: do a medley, so you know, and there's like somewhere's
27:34
Speaker 3: to the shoulder, there's somewhere you pick it up. I
27:36
Speaker 3: would find out what the weights of those stovees are
27:38
Speaker 3: and go find something that's similar in design as best
27:42
Speaker 3: you can, and then go do the events like that
27:46
Speaker 3: as you're as you're training throom, so like the one
27:49
Speaker 3: to shoulder, you know, go find something that's that size
27:52
Speaker 3: and shoulder. I would find you know, uh, like neoprene
27:57
Speaker 3: sleeves to go on your forearms. There you go, and
28:00
Speaker 3: and for your stomach, I would you're allowed, I think
28:03
Speaker 3: to wear the grip shirts underneath your shirt. I would
28:07
Speaker 3: definitely do that. I'd also try to make sure I
28:10
Speaker 3: put on a fresh shirt before I go out there,
28:12
Speaker 3: and make sure it's dry because you're gonna be pretty
28:15
Speaker 3: hot and sweaty before you get out there. That'll help
28:17
Speaker 3: the stone stick stick to the shirt a little bit,
28:20
Speaker 3: so little tricks like that. And then chalk your belly
28:23
Speaker 3: and then chalk the shirt on. Put your shirt down
28:27
Speaker 3: and then chalk your shirt on top of that, so
28:29
Speaker 3: you get chalk on both to keep your shirt from
28:31
Speaker 3: sliding around. I think that'll help a lot. Or even
28:35
Speaker 3: take the tacking towels and put that all over your
28:37
Speaker 3: chest and then put your shirt on so it'll stick
28:40
Speaker 3: to it a little better, and then tack you towel
28:42
Speaker 3: of your shirt and then chalk your shirt. Those are
28:46
Speaker 3: all things you could probably do that are legal. That'll
28:49
Speaker 3: help you stick when you do that. And then if
28:52
Speaker 3: you're allowed to use gloves in that medley, by all means,
28:55
Speaker 3: go find those blue rubber gloves that just stick to everything.
29:00
Speaker 3: It'll help you on your pick. It'll help like on
29:03
Speaker 3: all of it. You know, going through that, you'll be
29:05
Speaker 3: able to just jam your fingers in there and and
29:07
Speaker 3: yank it up and not worry about catching the fingernail
29:10
Speaker 3: or you know, doing something like that. So those little
29:13
Speaker 3: things will make a big difference. And you know, have
29:15
Speaker 3: a belt on, use your belt, catch the stone in
29:18
Speaker 3: the belt and pop the belt, you know, pop the
29:20
Speaker 3: stone with your hips. Stuff like that will make a
29:22
Speaker 3: big difference. So last one in the qualifying heat.
29:27
Speaker 2: No that was so Melody was the last wife for
29:30
Speaker 2: the quality the finals. So the first one is the
29:34
Speaker 2: connect Melody. You know what I'm saying. Connect's been Medley. Yeah, yeah,
29:38
Speaker 2: for a while, and the last couple of ones have
29:41
Speaker 2: been very interesting. Last year, remember there was the connect
29:44
Speaker 2: pool where they had to hoist the connect up in
29:47
Speaker 2: the in the rope.
29:50
Speaker 3: That was actually really good. I kind of thought they
29:53
Speaker 3: should have kept that for this year too. The noc
29:58
Speaker 3: yolk is pretty cool. That's I got no issues or
30:01
Speaker 3: problems with that. That. That was a pretty neat event.
30:04
Speaker 3: That would be one that I would have loved to
30:07
Speaker 3: have done back in the day. But I don't know
30:10
Speaker 3: about the Medley part of it. The I saw a
30:14
Speaker 3: picture of what these boxes are that they're supposed to flip,
30:18
Speaker 3: and I have questions on how exactly safe it is,
30:23
Speaker 3: if that makes any sense, because it's it's the box
30:27
Speaker 3: is put together and it makes a square, and there's
30:31
Speaker 3: two inch axles, you know, at a certain height that
30:33
Speaker 3: come out of there, and you got to grab the
30:35
Speaker 3: two inch axle and pick it up and flip the
30:38
Speaker 3: box over. So you can only make that so heavy
30:43
Speaker 3: because if somebody loses their grip on that and that
30:45
Speaker 3: thing comes back down, that bar that's up here is
30:49
Speaker 3: gonna end up. If they drop it and they stand up,
30:53
Speaker 3: it slips out of their hand. And they stand up,
30:54
Speaker 3: that bar could hit somebody dead in the face. Yeah,
30:58
Speaker 3: but maybe maybe it won't. I don't know. I yeah,
31:02
Speaker 3: didn't design the thing. I just saw one video of
31:05
Speaker 3: what I was told it is. So if that's what
31:08
Speaker 3: it is, yeah, good luck Ice.
31:13
Speaker 2: Yeah. You know, those are the things that when you
31:15
Speaker 2: get thrown at you you're like, okay, this is awkward.
31:19
Speaker 2: Different and but you got at that strong man.
31:22
Speaker 3: Yeah, well that one could end up being worse than
31:24
Speaker 3: Thor's hammer if it goes wrong, because I mean, if
31:29
Speaker 3: you pick that up and you don't get past that
31:33
Speaker 3: that point and it slips out of your hand because
31:35
Speaker 3: it's two inches. Yeah, if it slips out of your
31:38
Speaker 3: hand and that thing drops down, that other bar is
31:42
Speaker 3: still up here. Yeah, yeah, it's and your forwards it all. Yeah,
31:51
Speaker 3: but hey, what do I know?
31:53
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, next event, max Log. You know, so
31:57
Speaker 2: we just had Trey Mitchell on and we talked about
32:00
Speaker 2: how much we're looking forward to watching him do this advent.
32:03
Speaker 3: Okay, so here's the thing with the max Log. If
32:07
Speaker 3: I was getting ready for the max Log and I
32:09
Speaker 3: was a great lack presser like Trey or Mitchell or
32:13
Speaker 3: on you know, Andrea or a lot of these guys Androtti, Yeah,
32:17
Speaker 3: I would go back and watch their attempts and the
32:21
Speaker 3: weights on the attempts, because all the attempts that they're
32:24
Speaker 3: going to have are pretty well set. If they didn't
32:27
Speaker 3: give him that what those numbers are, they'll give it
32:30
Speaker 3: to him when they get there, but they'll have these
32:32
Speaker 3: set weights all the way up to a point and
32:35
Speaker 3: then they get together and discuss what the next attempts are. Yeah,
32:39
Speaker 3: So therefore I would make sure I probably took four
32:42
Speaker 3: attempts working up to that, because I think that's about
32:45
Speaker 3: what it is. Yeah, and then understand you might have
32:49
Speaker 3: to take a ten kilo jump, a ten kilo jump,
32:52
Speaker 3: and then a fifteen kilo jump. You know, you never
32:55
Speaker 3: know going to know how they how they play that out,
32:58
Speaker 3: but so that that's when where you just you do
33:03
Speaker 3: with the those what the four attempts are, and then
33:06
Speaker 3: you just get ready to handle whatever comes your way
33:08
Speaker 3: after that. And so training wise, i'd probably do, you know,
33:13
Speaker 3: a couple ten kilo jumps in there, and then throw
33:16
Speaker 3: a bigger jump in just to see what's what, because
33:19
Speaker 3: I've seen that happen. Yeah, that's that's kind of how
33:24
Speaker 3: I trained for it.
33:25
Speaker 2: Okay, Well, we got the Titan toss, which is new
33:28
Speaker 2: from last year, and.
33:31
Speaker 3: Yeah, that one's pretty simple. Go through the toss, I mean,
33:36
Speaker 3: set the bar the twelve feet and they already know
33:39
Speaker 3: all the distances stuff like that. There's not a whole
33:41
Speaker 3: lot that's going to change with that. That's going to
33:43
Speaker 3: be the exact same event it was last year. So
33:46
Speaker 3: if you knew how to train for it last year,
33:47
Speaker 3: train for that that way this year. If you're knew
33:51
Speaker 3: the world's strongest man, basically that one's just go out
33:55
Speaker 3: and find a way to do it efficiently, you know,
33:57
Speaker 3: go through the weights, go through the times, and then
33:59
Speaker 3: start working. Take a lighter one and just keep earth.
34:03
Speaker 3: Maybe not a lighter one, but take yeah, take a
34:06
Speaker 3: lighter one and so maybe it's forty forty five pounds,
34:09
Speaker 3: and work on distance and just getting max distance and
34:12
Speaker 3: then when you get the head you know, yeah, and
34:15
Speaker 3: then when you get to that weight, just send them flying. Yep.
34:20
Speaker 2: So that's it. After that, we got deadlift for reps.
34:24
Speaker 3: Yeah, this is gonna be like they can pick I
34:27
Speaker 3: think it's uh seven ninety nine and eight eighty one
34:32
Speaker 3: or the two in any one rep with eighty eighty
34:34
Speaker 3: one will beat seven Trump seven ninety nine. Yeah, So
34:38
Speaker 3: unless you're a really bad deadlifter and are at World's
34:42
Speaker 3: Strongest Man, which they they guys like that get in.
34:45
Speaker 3: You know, they're good at everything else, which is fine.
34:49
Speaker 3: You know, if you can pull over four hundred kilos,
34:52
Speaker 3: that's that's where you go. You start there, because any
34:55
Speaker 3: one rep will do that, I think will I quite
34:59
Speaker 3: possibly think depends on the position that a couple of
35:03
Speaker 3: the guys are in when they get to that in
35:05
Speaker 3: the finals. Yeah, I think if somebody is very far
35:09
Speaker 3: ahead at that point when they get to it, they'll
35:14
Speaker 3: just pull what they need to, uh and be strategic
35:18
Speaker 3: with the points. I think if somebody needs to make
35:20
Speaker 3: up ground, we could see a new record with that.
35:24
Speaker 3: You know, I've seen I've seen two guys pull that
35:27
Speaker 3: five reps so and I know the record six. So
35:32
Speaker 3: I mean we could see seven, maybe even eight if
35:36
Speaker 3: necessary by a couple of guys doing the show. It's
35:38
Speaker 3: just whether or not they want to they want or
35:41
Speaker 3: need to go that hard, So that would be the
35:43
Speaker 3: big question on that exactly, you know.
35:47
Speaker 2: And then even with that at the stones is you
35:49
Speaker 2: know where it gets finished at for world's Strongest Man.
35:53
Speaker 2: And yeah, and that's you know heavy stone.
35:57
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's just having an well and that's the thing
36:00
Speaker 3: after pulling eight eighty for however many reps. So I
36:06
Speaker 3: would train that way. I would deadlift and like max
36:09
Speaker 3: reps at that point for that type of weight, Like
36:12
Speaker 3: I think my best is eight oh five for six
36:15
Speaker 3: and so I would probably do something like that and
36:18
Speaker 3: then turn around and go train the stones as best
36:21
Speaker 3: I could, like an hour after that, because that's what
36:25
Speaker 3: it will be. You'll get like an hour break in
36:27
Speaker 3: between hour break or two hour break in between events,
36:30
Speaker 3: maybe even three hour break depending on how fast they're
36:33
Speaker 3: setting up and stuff. So I would definitely do and
36:37
Speaker 3: I would train my events that way too, by the way,
36:40
Speaker 3: you know, because they usually go nine to twelve and
36:42
Speaker 3: three for the events. So I would do my first
36:44
Speaker 3: event that day at nine, I do the next one
36:47
Speaker 3: at twelve, and I do the last one at three.
36:49
Speaker 3: That's how you're going to compete. It's a good idea
36:51
Speaker 3: to know what you're in for and train that way
36:54
Speaker 3: at least the last six weeks. So it's it's but
36:58
Speaker 3: that's just my opinion, but that's I usually came in
37:02
Speaker 3: and I didn't fade in contests. Other guys would fade
37:07
Speaker 3: in contests. I knew my body, knew what was going
37:10
Speaker 3: on it all. I knew what I had to do,
37:13
Speaker 3: and I just went and did it. So, you know,
37:15
Speaker 3: there was at a whole lot of times I got
37:17
Speaker 3: to the last event and I had nothing left in me.
37:19
Speaker 3: I was. I always had plenty left in me. It's
37:21
Speaker 3: just whether I was injured or not.
37:22
Speaker 2: So yeah, yeah, well that covered quite a bit, you
37:27
Speaker 2: know what I'm saying. And what what what would the
37:29
Speaker 2: food be looking like during prep and then during contest?
37:35
Speaker 3: Well, during prep, I mean during prep, you're eating until
37:39
Speaker 3: you're full every time you eat, and you're gonna eat good,
37:41
Speaker 3: solid food as much as you can. Anything that's gonna
37:44
Speaker 3: slow down your digestion or your healing process is out. Anything,
37:50
Speaker 3: you know, anything that's going to be a drain on
37:54
Speaker 3: your system is out. You know, anything your body doesn't
37:56
Speaker 3: agree with is out. Test day, compete, coming in and competing,
38:02
Speaker 3: contest week. When you get to Worlds, anything that's not
38:06
Speaker 3: piping hot, I would not eat. Yeah, you know, I
38:10
Speaker 3: wouldn't eat any salads there. I wouldn't have any salad dressing.
38:14
Speaker 3: There's nothing that's cold or raw i'd be having unless
38:19
Speaker 3: it was like a protein bar or something like that.
38:21
Speaker 3: I would always make sure my food was super hot,
38:23
Speaker 3: because the last thing you want to get is the
38:25
Speaker 3: runs when you get up there. So you don't want
38:27
Speaker 3: to anything that could possibly.
38:32
Speaker 2: Possibly make you sick.
38:34
Speaker 3: Yeah, you just.
38:36
Speaker 2: That means avoid change foods and don't be experimental.
38:40
Speaker 3: Void did we learn that in China? Oh my gosh,
38:43
Speaker 3: so yeah. I mean all of us had the runs.
38:45
Speaker 3: All of us lost like twenty pounds during that contest.
38:48
Speaker 2: It was crazy.
38:49
Speaker 3: But so food does play very big things. So I mean,
38:52
Speaker 3: if you're if your regular diet, though is used to
38:55
Speaker 3: you're eating a salad and then you're going on through
38:57
Speaker 3: that stuff, I would ditch the salad and the salad
38:59
Speaker 3: dressing and all that stuff or anything that's not, like
39:02
Speaker 3: I said, piping hot when you when you get to it,
39:04
Speaker 3: things that are gonna be really easy for you to
39:06
Speaker 3: digest and get calories in high calorie foods while you're
39:10
Speaker 3: doing it. You know, so in between, like if you
39:13
Speaker 3: know you're you're having some peanut butter with some chocolate,
39:17
Speaker 3: you know, stuff like that, just kind of like mix
39:19
Speaker 3: them together to get calories and peanut butter and jelly sandwich.
39:23
Speaker 3: I would have a boatload of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches,
39:26
Speaker 3: you know, Rice Krispy treats, you know, all the stuff
39:29
Speaker 3: that like Nathan Payton does for the guys. Yeah, I mean,
39:34
Speaker 3: alls you have to do is sit there and watch.
39:36
Speaker 3: You'll see what's going on. You might not have the
39:39
Speaker 3: thing to test your blood with, but you can see
39:41
Speaker 3: what's going on, and you can mimic a lot of
39:44
Speaker 3: that stuff and it'll still maybe not quite as successful,
39:47
Speaker 3: but you'll still do okay, because I mean that dude's
39:50
Speaker 3: a performance genius.
39:51
Speaker 2: I'm going to tell you that, right he is, so
39:54
Speaker 2: you know, and that's the thing too, is that you know,
39:56
Speaker 2: like this is just a little look on the in
39:59
Speaker 2: on the what do.
40:00
Speaker 3: Yeah, the biggest set, Yeah, it's the mindset. And then
40:05
Speaker 3: it's also knowing how to turn it on and turn
40:07
Speaker 3: it off. That's like the biggest, biggest thing with the
40:11
Speaker 3: younger guys is they once it's on, it's on, and
40:15
Speaker 3: they don't do and they're so hyped to be there
40:16
Speaker 3: and all this stuff's going on. They got to learn
40:18
Speaker 3: how to stay calm and shut it off, Like Okay,
40:21
Speaker 3: I just competed my next events in three hours. All right,
40:24
Speaker 3: first thing I need to do is go eat, yes,
40:27
Speaker 3: Go get food in me, Go get liquids in me, okay,
40:30
Speaker 3: and then throughout the whole rest of that time, keep
40:32
Speaker 3: taking liquids and food. That's where like some of the
40:36
Speaker 3: high calorie drinks and you know, the intrafuels and stuff
40:41
Speaker 3: like that, you know play a part because you still
40:43
Speaker 3: get and the protein drinks and stuff like that that
40:45
Speaker 3: don't bother your stomach come into play after you eat,
40:50
Speaker 3: because you want to keep you got to keep taking
40:52
Speaker 3: in fluids, and because you're gonna be sweating like crazy doing.
40:56
Speaker 2: This, and you don't know what the weather is going
40:58
Speaker 2: to be like yep, So.
41:00
Speaker 3: You know, South Carolina could be really warm or it
41:03
Speaker 3: could be rainy and cold and windy and everything else.
41:07
Speaker 3: You just don't know what the weather is going to be.
41:09
Speaker 3: So you got a plan for.
41:10
Speaker 2: Both exactly exactly, you know what I'm saying. And with
41:15
Speaker 2: worlds trunkt Man right around the corner, you know what
41:17
Speaker 2: I'm saying, that's a little peak behind the curtains. Yeah,
41:20
Speaker 2: you know what would do?
41:22
Speaker 3: Yeah, And I mean I would have like seven different
41:24
Speaker 3: types of tacky. Yeah, you know, I'd go from cold
41:28
Speaker 3: weather to extremely hot weather because like literally you're going
41:32
Speaker 3: there and it could be either yeah, at any given time.
41:35
Speaker 3: So I would have that many different forms of tacky.
41:38
Speaker 3: I would have every type of shoe in my kit.
41:41
Speaker 3: I'd even have a pair of cleats in my kit
41:43
Speaker 3: because you never know if you're gonna be you might
41:45
Speaker 3: need them either running on the sand or running on grass.
41:49
Speaker 3: You don't know. You've had times where oh, by the way,
41:51
Speaker 3: here's the medley, it's on grass and you're like, oh, okay, cool,
41:55
Speaker 3: so be ready for what you truck climb and right
41:58
Speaker 3: rock climbing shoes for the truck pull, you know, whatever
42:03
Speaker 3: you squad in. I'd have some of those. I'd have
42:05
Speaker 3: some you know, Olympic shoes with the wedges in them,
42:11
Speaker 3: you know, because you just never know what you're gonna
42:13
Speaker 3: need it. Power stairs, that's a great thing to do
42:15
Speaker 3: for power stairs. Might not be super comfortable for the
42:18
Speaker 3: farmer's walk, but who cares if it helps you on
42:20
Speaker 3: the power stairs to where your feet don't have to
42:22
Speaker 3: be all the way on the stairs, and yet you
42:24
Speaker 3: get all that pressure into the platform because the woods,
42:27
Speaker 3: the wood shoe. That makes a difference. Yep. So little
42:32
Speaker 3: things like that can go a long way. And so
42:34
Speaker 3: what if you bring a big suitcase. Bring your own
42:36
Speaker 3: pillow too, by the way, there you go, bring your
42:39
Speaker 3: own pillow. It does. It helps you sleep so much better,
42:43
Speaker 3: it really does, you know. And I would use a
42:48
Speaker 3: to sleep. I would use bring an extra black T
42:51
Speaker 3: shirt with you. And then especially if you got to
42:54
Speaker 3: see pap and stuff, you can just lay it right
42:55
Speaker 3: across your eyes. It won't be you know, won't put
42:59
Speaker 3: a whole bunch of pressure on your face. It won't
43:01
Speaker 3: affect your breathing, but it will make as black as
43:03
Speaker 3: midnight and you'll be able to sleep, which helps. That
43:07
Speaker 3: makes a big deal because if you get there and
43:09
Speaker 3: you're all wound up and you don't sleep for four days,
43:13
Speaker 3: you're not going to perform very good. So it's having
43:16
Speaker 3: the ability to calm yourself, to meditate, to slow things down,
43:20
Speaker 3: to rehearse the contest in your head a few times
43:22
Speaker 3: and then turn it off, you know, so stop, stop,
43:29
Speaker 3: chill out, play some cards, do some solitary talk to
43:33
Speaker 3: some of the guys, but don't expend a lot of energy.
43:36
Speaker 3: Make sure you have a set bedtime for that night,
43:40
Speaker 3: you know, stuff like that, and stick to it hard.
43:43
Speaker 3: And if you can't you lay down and you can't sleep,
43:47
Speaker 3: just lay there and close your eyes and start meditating
43:49
Speaker 3: and focusing on a spot right here in your head
43:53
Speaker 3: and you'll eventually fall asleep. So and then just relax,
43:57
Speaker 3: breathe in, breathe out, control your breathing, and settle things
44:01
Speaker 3: down because you get a good night's sleep, especially going
44:05
Speaker 3: into those in those third and fourth and third and
44:08
Speaker 3: fourth days. It's gonna be a big deal. It'll help
44:11
Speaker 3: a lot.
44:13
Speaker 2: So well, you know, I think we covered quite a bit.
44:18
Speaker 3: Yep, we did. I hope you guys liked it.
44:21
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, So everybody you know remember joined the Patreon.

Speaker 3: I'm gonna pull a bunch of people in from different
44:38

45:02

45:17
