And so every week there's somebody that's on there People like that man I hang out over here people are really inch. I mean, I'm such a I'm such a I make things up so it looks like Believe it or not, it's I'm walking on it's more interesting than you guys you guys think I mean, it's not interesting to you like your Doug was like, I don't you know, what do I do? I'm like, I just I'm working all day. I'm like, yeah, but that's interesting to be Doug Share what you are doing all day. So a lot of people think it's a lot of him walking his dog It's all he does we're sitting in front of my life. No in the videos By the way, that dog's adorable. That's the cutest little dog. Did you see that we were walking and because Doug in Passing conversations said the word vaccine it got thrown up on my yeah, you get the warning and everything like that and wow They're listening to that vigilantly intently yes He's talking in that we're walking of the other day when we're out getting some episodes gonna say that now, right? I know it's in that while the flagged that he all he said was vaccine and it pops up the CDC the warning pop It wasn't even me. It's him in the back weird time to be alive because you have on one hand You have countries and people that are in governments nefarious groups that really try to pump in information to fuck with other countries, right? So let's say for example, you know, by the way, we do to other countries We do that too, right? So let's say right. You're in a pan. Thank you for being I'm gonna create I'm gonna create another scenario. You probably started that game, huh? Game the fucking playbook. So let's listen. I'm gonna create another scenario Let's say that there's a pandemic and there's a vaccine that actually solves it and you're in another country that competes with this country And you want them to succumb to it then what you do is you pump that country full of Information about the medicine making people not want to use it. There's that right But then there's also the like well, what if it's true like what if what if this isn't you know an issue? Or what about this or what it's like what a weird time, dude Well, I'm taking the Russian vaccine. I don't know about you guys. Are you really? You just want to see what does woke up in the morning with turn into a bear grizzly claws Writing a horse window shirt on you guys ever seen that picture of Putin? Yeah It's like the most I'm not a Putin fan by the way, except for he does judo, which is kind of cool He's a black belt. He's on a horse and he's riding it with no shirt on he's like fucking No, dude, it's a real I mean, I'm sure he staged it Yeah, but he's actually on a horse riding it with no shirt on to see this Douglas Yeah, and then we have like and then you know look at our presidents like I know he's asleep Forgot forgot he's the same you gotta go wake him up. Look at that, dude. I'm fucking manly That's what I am look at that is pretty awful right and you're watching the videos of him doing judo and shit I kicking people's asses Was any the head of the KGB at one point or something or he worked in the KGB? Yeah, there's a lot Yeah, now obviously in in Russia that he's he's revered right? I mean people love How does he keep winning right? That's why I went on housing. How does he stay in power? It's it's not I think from what I think I don't he won with a tyranny there And then he's like because he can't sir. He can't be the head guy anymore. So he moved into another position But he actually controls. I don't know but there's argument disappears. What I know There's arguments. Can you school me on like Russian politics? Like how's it work over there? No, you don't know not much But what I what I've heard is people say that's not as free as you think or as honest as you think or whatever I don't know I thought they're they're one of the countries with one of the largest black markets, aren't they for what? I don't just all things in general. I thought they well during the soviet union. They had lots of black markets for everything I had a friend. I'm curious about that especially like jeans right like devised jeans and stuff Largest black markets in the world. That's america, dude We have the in terms of dollars in terms of dollars america Anything has to do with dollars. We cry really because we're so free. I would think that's not true I would think that are we well. I mean in comparison to other countries in comparison to the countries were very free Depends on what you're talking about see there you go easy The highest number of black markets in the world, of course. We have the biggest amount of money In america does it say we're big you said we're top 10 Give me the next one. Is it right underneath it says top 10 countries largest black markets in the world? Like china I would think would be up there because we're doubled china looks like oh you saw a double Oh, yeah china mexico. Wow mexico, italy Yeah, japan canada. Wow india United kingdom and then rush rush is 10. Yes, they're not not that big Yeah, I had a client that I trained that Went to russia his parents. I forgot what they did Uh, but they went there and this was during this was in the 80s, right? So this was during the when the soviet union was around And he's like man there were people were like Behind the scenes offering me so much money for my nikes. Oh, wow for my leave eyes He's like there were black markets for like milk You know because otherwise if you wait in line for your milk and if you don't get it They have to create black markets to kind of it's crazy. So messed up. How do they how do you think they measure that? Measure what black markets like how I mean, how do they know? That's true, huh? Yeah, like it's black Yeah, it's not very black if it's if it's if they you know the number Yeah, you know I'm saying it makes you have somebody in there that like, you know is in the system Estimate, you know, it's like very General not very precise estimate. I mean come on. How do you like it's like the science stuff adam How do they know how old that tree is that's why I gotta point this stuff out I mean come on like people we just we we read it. We read it on google and automatically like oh, yeah, definitely black Yes, 600 billion there like It's a stat that was there probably because it's based off of the amount of drugs that we catch An amount of stuff that we see that then they create an estimate, right? Well, maybe there's a formula like I mean we can't obviously track a lot of we can track the legitimate money That's in circulation and if we know the total amount of monies that are out in circulation and you subtract that Maybe that's how that there's got to be a logical Method, you know, well they took down like that one website the the silk road And that was a huge Uh, it was generating a ton of money of in the black market So I'm wondering if maybe they're they're getting it and pulling it from a lot of those like a type of websites And getting their analytics. I know but then we how what's the out? What's the formula 10 x that 7 x that 100 x that like I mean, you just yeah, I'm making right, right So my guess, you know, I'm totally I have no idea, right? So maybe somebody much smarter than me can school me right on this I would think that we have an idea of how much total monies in circulation And what's trackable as far as paying taxes and stuff and then you would subtract I don't even think that That's so hard. They don't have any clear. I mean, I feel like that's be the most accurate way They don't know how much monies in circulation how much is actually being used They don't have they don't like big number and then they just yeah, they don't they don't know all that I think it's more like we estimate. Do you have a dog in this fight done? I don't no you have no idea. He used to be a kingpin in the black market That's why I have so many aliases a big black market guys. I thought Out of all of us. He's the black market. Yeah, just in that. Have you bought anything black market? How do you do that? That's how I I mean, I mean like Right, I mean you can buy something unintentionally on the black drug dealers count or like stereo system or like your speakers Oh, you know what that did happen. Yes. I see. I told you. I did. Yeah, that's probably bought some I got like bamboozled totally like with the shitty stereo or something. Yeah Yeah, I was and I was close by to I was like a best buy and I was I was driving by and this guy Like approached me in the parking lot, of course It's like such a hustle and he had this the speakers I wasn't even really interested in speakers, but I saw them and like he even played them and everything and they Worked really well and he was like, I'm gonna give you these for like a fraction of the cost or whatever And uh, and so I was like, no, I'm not interested. Whatever. I don't have money And so he actually followed me to go to like the the atm I pulled money out and then, you know, bottom thinking I'd give it as a present to like, you know My brother or whatever and I didn't even cross my mind that they were stolen. They're hot, you know Like duh, of course. So I got hustled the same way. Did they work? Hold on a second. Were they good? They did work Yeah, they did work, but they're totally stolen. Sorry. You got a good deal It was a fire sale. That's not a bad. I got hustled where the guy said that he had two She bought the stereo system online and they sent him two and he gave me the receipt of what it was Showed me everything. It was the the two one was not box. The other one was box And he's like, I'll give you this for like half the price. It was some ridiculous couple hundred bucks for something That was worth like a thousand some dollars and yeah, totally suckered me into it. And then I went home and plugged him in Then I work Oh, yeah That was I was really very sad. Very very. How old were you? Uh, 20 was when I worked at Calvin McKee. So damn you and your 20s you got caught. That's like when you find out Well, that's why I had that kind of money where I couldn't even afford to do that He caught he caught me coming out of work uh, headed my car in the parking lot and swung in and showed me like the stereo system and I was you know, probably gave it away to because I was a young at that age Age when you had like stereo systems in your car. So I had like 312 that was a thing back in the day, wasn't it? It's still a thing. I was getting something the other day. Well, hold on a second. Hold on a second I don't see it as much. It's not as popular Because we'll see these actually I always get stars come now cars come take that bag It's it is as we just were older and we hang out. We don't hang out with a bunch of I don't think it's that big of a deal like it used to be because back back No, no, you know why cuz back then Nice cars still had shitty stereo system. You had to put in a aftermarket now They come with pretty damn good system not like you would you know want yes and no like I mean Very like luxury cars have always had nice stereo systems That's kind of that's one of the typical things of the upgrade that you get when you buy a 100,000 car but uh What what I will agree with you is that like a Chevy truck now has bows speakers That's what I'm saying right so and like like but my this both are I mean we have the same truck Justin I and we all do now right though. Those stereo the stereo system. It sounds great. Yeah now I mean I still would prefer a little really Yeah, like a basey not crazy like two 10s. Yeah, two 10s isn't like over the top Or you need to be that guy where you turn on Libraries and shutters No, no, no, no, that's when you go over that's over. That's like kid shit That's when I was a kid. I'll do but two 10s is not I mean that's uh Yeah, I just wanted that I I always had the truck though That was like so loud because it went straight through the like the exhaust went right through headers right the Yeah, like converter you cut it off. So it was just like so obnoxious. It's like what's the point of even having to loud music I can't compete with this. I got I got a uh, what is it not the sub the subwoofer tube? What is that called? Uh Subtube it was a call sub to yeah, and there was member uh, uh, Fosgate punch. Yeah, okay. That's a good brand That was a good brand. That was a very good brand. Well. Anyway, I went to the flea market And I saw one it was called crunch I've seen that straight from teal. I thought it was just it was I'm like, and you know me dude. I'm always like Dude, I bought my share of folklies. So did you yeah, I wonder statistically how much that actually um That actually works on people like when people brand things like similar to but it's not exactly the same And it's like made to look like like these your example you just brought like yeah, you weren't the only it works enough Yeah, that's what I'm saying. You obviously did it. I'm sure I'm guilty of doing it I mean shit. I think I've shared this before when I was a kid my grandma used to send us clothes like every I don't know six months. I get a box of clothes And it always had like Nike and all the name brand stuff on it But when I later on as I got older I found out that she literally used to buy this from like a guy in the back Of his BMW he'd pop the trunk and then sell this stuff and when you looked at the tags It was Haynes like a Haynes t-shirt, but then it was like all Nike branding and stuff like that So like that's when I was in high school nobody knew don't yeah, of course No kids didn't know you know I'm saying I was a kid and I I didn't know any better I didn't know until I got older and realized like oh Haynes doesn't make the shirts for Nike I was raised on that ship, bro. Remember my parents are Sicilian. You know, they were poor Tampa Bay wasn't the Super Bowl champions Damn it. That was my mom's favorite thing to do. Her favorite thing to do was to find the knockoff shit She'd be like, oh, oh you like my grandma. Oh, you like Cheerios. Don't worry. Furios. They're really good too They taste the same or whatever, right? No, my grandma was my grandma was the exact same way She almost like was competitive about it. Like she was all about I mean to fault to an embarrassing fault too, right? I think I told you yeah, but you got to respect it though. I know my grandma I'll never forget this we were and we're in like marshals, right? Which is already discounted shit as it is right So you get like brands like guests when that was popular when I was a kid Yeah, and I want my grandma take me shopping So I'm excited and she would go and she would take like the stickers off of like Oh, she was gangster like oh, she would take the sticker price and put it on the other ones And then we get up there and they would go like, oh, no, that's like $60. She's like, no, it's not and she would like get loud Oh my god, bro. It was so embarrassing and but to you know, at least five five out of 10 times They would just go okay. Okay. Well, just give it to her and then some of my grandfather My grandfather who's like he was like, you know fresh off the boat like and he obviously he grew up very very poor We go to the grocery store a couple times I took him grocery shopping He'd buy vegetables or whatever which he used to always piss him off because he grows his own So he's like he'd hate that he have to buy certain ones But why doesn't your grandma just want to eat what I grow? I gotta grab whatever you've told me as he cuts Bro, we were buying. I don't remember we were buying. We're buying. I don't remember what vegetable it was And I put him in the bag and he goes, whoa, what are you doing? And he takes it out of the bag and he pulls out a fucking pair of like scissors out of his pocket That he carries and he's cutting the the stems off. I'm like, what are you doing? No, no And he goes, I'm not paying for the stem, you know, you get away, you know the way Maybe you say like five cents Yeah, I didn't think I I didn't think anything of it too growing up like my mom would take it It's this place called the bargain barn, right? And uh, like she always pride herself on being thrifty But really like now that I'd really we were poor like I didn't even realize it But she would like they would you know work their way around it and so we're paying for everything by the pound You know, so you get in there and you just there's just you just rummage through all this trash and shit Like I'm like finding all like these toys and things and like, you know, you're trying to like make weight So you're like cutting some of it out. But yeah, dude, I had no idea like that was like not a thing Dude, I used to go with my dad to to work sometimes I'd help him work And then my favorite thing was to go to the dump with him after work because if you did a job or he tore down Stuff, yeah, we'd go to the dump. You know, I used to like going to the dump. I always find something cool That's dumb. I was always I found a ninja star one time at the dump sick And I'd notice I mean I swear to God I found a mini bike on a syringe Some drugs were still left in it Oh, whoa I could feel that No, we got a mini bike one time there at the at the dump my dad I could fix this we took a home fixed it roll around sick. Oh, yeah. It's a good time You know my I had I did this girl her dad was like all about like fixing stuff with that He used to so he hit in San Jose. You guys should be aware of this like once a year There's a a time where you can you can throw out like your Big appliances that are broken or like that and the city will come pick it up. It's like, yeah I forget what the day. I know you're right and then you you see all kinds of washers and dryers and barbecue pits And just all broken down like big pieces that people don't want to haul off to the dump and pay The city will come pick it up. Well, he like schedules that day to go around town and like look at Swoop up. Oh, yeah. I had just bought my come up. I had just bought my condo Like so I'm 20 something years old real young and I'm dating this girl and her dad does this And I was like, oh, I need to get a barbecue But you know, I'm like living to paycheck paycheck I can't afford to get a barbecue yet till the next paycheck and he's like, I don't know I'll take care of you. I'm like, no, no, no, no, you don't have to do that I'll I'll get it next Shows up with this barbecue pit and then like Works fine. I'm like, where did you get this and then he tells me someone tried to throw it away Yes, someone tried to throw it away All I had to do was a $5 part that he had to fix and then got it up You know that that's big business now, right? So people go on I mean craigslist or whatever now And there's always people giving away stuff for free if you come pick it up I'll give it to you Yeah And what people do and this is like a big hustle now and then actually people can make money doing this They'll get free stuff and then they'll sell it again on craigslist for a little bit of money Yeah, it's incredible They'll come with their truck and their trailer and all and I I kind of ran into this because they'll You'll agree on a price and then they'll come in and be like, oh, I got this much cash, you know And like and then they try and like hardball you and I'm like, well, you obviously didn't bring enough You know, like we'll have the truck here, you know, like we can take care of this now I'm like, we're gonna have to drive back And he's just like what because that hustle always works for him. Yeah. Well, I'm so I'm so expedient Like when I want to get rid of something, you get me. I don't give a fuck. Yeah, you would get me That's a principle thing for me, dude, we agreed on that and then go No, Jessica will literally sell something for dollars like literally I'll be like what happened to the whatever. Oh, I sold it for five dollars like really You made five. Okay, cool. But I don't I'm so expedient. I'm like, I mean Gary This is how I found Gary v Gary v was like is the master at this with like, uh, he's great Garage sales. Yeah, because so many people have no idea the value of some of their junk they've had You can always make money. That's what I love about that approach, you know, he just finds a way like I'll hustle these and I'll make money. It was so brilliant. How you even show people he walks over to these garage sales Literally looks up on ebay on his phone What they sell for wheels and deals You know, three dollar margin for himself and then, you know, does that all day long collects and then at the end of The day he's got, you know, you know, 20 different pieces of of of things that he's purchased that he could sell for three to five Dollars more than what immediately resells it doesn't do anything to it. Thanks so much. Take care guys. Bye. Bye All right, just picked up this uh, 1996 vintage Yankees mug World champs, uh picked up two for five bucks. She wanted four each She didn't get it Have you guys ever seen the where they have like a storage units? Yeah, somebody worse Yeah, so what's the deal with that? So people that just abandon it So what happens is after so and you sign this when you sign off when you get a storage unit like Uh, if you don't pay your bill, I I don't remember. I think I want to say it's 60 or 90 days afterwards They'll they'll cut the lock on it and put their own lock on it So you lost your you lost whatever's in there at that point So if you don't pay your bill for now, how do they sell do they sell the things in their piece meal? No, no, so what they do they sell the lot They so basically they they lock it up and then they would they have these Like auctions where they auction off the way they do it. They raise it up But they don't let you go through it. They can't you can't go through it No one can walk in you can look you can look from the outside all you want Do the people that own it look first and grab all the good shit? No, I don't I don't well I can't speak for every storage unit. I mean because I would yeah. Well, yeah I mean, there's gold bars in here. Yeah Fuck I'm sure I'm sure every storage unit has their own policy I mean we've talked about investing in a storage unit before right if we had our own We would definitely rummage through it ourselves or pay someone to do that for us You know, I think these big companies get all good stuff first have like kind of a standard process And what that looks like according to the show if you watch I like I love that show like a watch. Oh, yeah I love that show. I've never seen it, but I watch I still watch it all the time. I love that show 220 220 going twice gotta go guess what now 10 man walking fair warning, and I It's not a joy deer. You got it for two tan Oh Holy Yeah, western scene And they're sorry All together for all 50 prints signed by the artist you have a total of 20,500 20 grand sometimes I even amazed myself So they yeah, they they they raise it up They have X a minute minutes for everybody to kind of peek at it And then they close it back down and then the bidding starts Yeah, and then they just auction it off and then you go through it and it's but that's gambling right because A lot of times people these these guys and girls that go around because sometimes it might look like the stuff in the front Looks like shit, but there may be something expensive Right That's when you get a gold mine though But a lot of times these they over bed because they see something Oh, they have a nice this a nice that and then there's tons of boxes Maybe they have really nice stuff and then it drives up and then they end up getting dog shit Wow, wow too bad You know the x-ray glasses don't exist on because then you can see what's going on I believed in that though, dude. Did you ever order the extra? Yeah, of course I like the little circles. Yes. Yeah, fucking a rip off. Did you ever see that? No, I did that and the sea monkeys Yes, dude You know what I did have though that I thought was so cool And I probably wore them for like a good year or two as a kid You remember the kind of they're like almost like a rectangle like frames and they had mirrors On the sides so you can see behind you. Yes. I thought that was so cool Yeah, do you guys remember those dude all the little spy stuff? Do you watch someone behind you if no, I they had no value whatsoever? And I don't think I have any functional reason why I think I wore them I just thought it was so cool Did you and be honest so I could be like this look in the other way and talk to me like hold up your hands four. Yeah, I knew that You never got x-ray glasses because when you were at red comic books in the back it was always I wasn't a big comic book reader. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. No, I was and I was of course I got him so I could see people's bones, right? I wasn't like sports wasn't to look at people Yeah, not at all. It wasn't advertised like that either. Yeah, exactly They Some lady you'd see her broader Any kids comic book that's how they sold out your 13 year old kid. I'm like you're like dude. I'm getting this I mean it's like Punisher Ward. That's not how x-rays work by the way. That's kind of brilliant actually I did not know they did that dude. It was always bullshit exploited us. They can't get away with that now though, right? Um, I don't know. They get away with a lot of crazy stuff these days now I have an eye now. I have a question for you, Adam. Be honest, too Did you ever wear the glasses that they they were just like a bunch of lines? You know what I'm talking about? No, like they were you know, I'm talking about. Yeah. Yeah. Well, Justin has it in some of his yeah, I had some of those Yeah, those so stupid. Yeah, it was like What was it just deep deep space nine star trek where it had the guy from reading rainbow that had those Or or a big trouble little tiny made those popular again. Did he I thought it came from like a music video Back in the 80s. That's why I think it came. I I really all I remember is one of the kung fu gangs in Big trouble in little china one of the greatest movies of all time by the way One of them there was a guy in there that wore them Remember when in the beginning when they go kidnap the girl the Asian girl with the green eyes because they're so rare That was the thing Yeah, and then they're like they kidnap her and they're driving away one of the thugs that was just like You know the the kung fu guy. Can I just tell you what a great movie? When's the last time you guys watched that by the long time ago so good every time i'm sick That's which hasn't been very very much ever that's when right in became a thing It was before motor combat and have right in that's came from there dude Yeah, no, you know what we have no one's been sick here in a while, huh? It's been years since I've been sick. Yeah, we're trying to jinx us What do you think that is now have you always been that way I when I went to the gym It was I was sick because who are you around dude be honest not that many people anymore, right? Have you been around a lot of people? That's part of it for sure. Yeah, I don't know like it's just Healthier habits. I think I think I'm more conscious of that now. Really? Yeah. Yeah, what are you doing? Well, you're sublimating. I'm supposed to do it Well, now I finally have you guys taking vitamin D regularly after we put it in here Someone just asked me that on my stories. I'll get a lot more sun. I'm being way more I take regularly. That's about the only supplement I take every day. Yeah, you know, it's made it's It's a rotation now consistent for me. Actually you were telling me because you saw me take a bunch The other day every day. I use the magnesium the mellow. Yeah, magnesium I use it every single day. I am now right now. So I I'm still waiting for What I think my body's going to adapt to it and not see the same results from it and it hasn't happened I drink that almost every single night right now. Well, because we're so deficient, right in magnesium I imagine that like taking it more frequently is probably a good thing anyways Well, so that's kind of how I've decided like well My body's probably lacking in it is why because I I'm sure like so Katrina takes it And she's like, oh, yeah, I felt like but she don't feel like I feel it I feel it like and she's she sees it in me. She's like I'll go to drink that. She's like, oh, I'm not getting any tonight You know Like she knows right too mellow. Yeah, yeah Yo, she like if I drink it and I'm in bed lights out and everything like that 30 minutes I am definitely out hard and I'm it's it's crazy how well but I have done this Or I'm drinking it and yeah, it kind of mellows me out Then I watch tv and I'm doing something like that then it doesn't work to say It doesn't make you sleepy. It just makes you chill. Yeah is what it does No, I use it regularly and now I I've always not always. I'm sorry for a long time. I've used magnesium supplements Very different. So I used to use The popular magnesium brands that you scoop into your water and you mix it and it fizzes and whatever And from what I learned your body does a shitty job. It doesn't absorb it very well. It's basically a laxative That's what you're taking when you do it that way The the the magnesium that's a mellow apparently I'm absorbing because I can actually feel it Even though I've always supplemented or I should say for a long time supplemented Yeah with magnesium. I've been doing that too and zinc was another one that I've been pretty Frequent with as well and I felt like that made a difference. I must have been deficient The last time somebody was sick was me right last year. I would say yeah, that's last time I uh, you're the last one. I remember you we thought you had the vid dude And he didn't I maybe I maybe I don't know that the whole testing thing was a little weird It was weird. We did a kind of an experimental test. So but I I feel like yeah, it's just I was like Why are they doing this rectally? I have no idea nobody else is the So we do in china The source right so whatever keep testing me. Why do you got to keep doing that? Is it only once in a while? Why so frequent? Yeah, this is all weird. Can we can we better and accurate? Can we talk and speculate on this potential business venture that we might do? I know Doug hates when we do things like this, but I think that I would like before it's finished and created One, I think it would be neat to hear feedback From our audience, but so anyway, we have a partner nci who we love, you know, Jason Phillips and his company They've been working with online coach certification. That's right And we have we have a good portion of our audience are our coaches and trainers or people that are aspiring to be coaches and trainers Maybe one of the most common DMs I get is questions around that we've got to a place now And by the way too like I saw somebody on I think Justin's page or something that was Frustrated because they didn't get an answer from one of us and they DMed us On average, I know I get the angry ones. I know right on average We get 150 to 200 DMs every single day We do our best to try and answer as many as possible We have a customer service team that their job is to handle people like you in case you can't get through to one of us So We made that promise a long time ago that we would try and answer everybody's question personally It's just not feasible. It's not it's not it's impossible and we still try anyways But if you ever need anything you go to info info at mindpumpmedia.com you can email them Adam always answers the nude photos though. So if you send a nude photo to adam That's for the guys So anyways, we get lots of questions around Trainers and I've had people offer me money to talk to me on the phone for a half hour to look at their business To help them out with this stuff blah blah blah blah We've been trying to figure out a way that how we could help that community But also be efficient with our time and so it was actually jason jason phillips who Proposed this idea that we do some because he's getting so much good feedback because he does a lot of these where they coach Coaches on how to build set up their business build their business take it to the next level A lot of people like it quite a bit. He does a good job. And so we may be doing something like that with him Right, yeah Which is really even up a bit. It's really is a way to give back to the trainer community because at our core That's what we are. I mean, I know we you know us as mind pump And podcast host and all that stuff, but we're trainers. That's what we did. That's what we started with so we did for a long time Yeah, that's our heart and that's yeah And so other trainers are always always going to be very special to us And I think the way it's shaping up is that you know every week there'll be a call with jason and one of us And you know, we'll cover everything on the every every aspect of You know building a a business around coaching and training from virtual to a very specific topic and then some q&a Added in yeah that the people that will be a part of this group will have acts direct access every single week to Jason and one of us to be able to do that and our big thing was like listen if we're going to do something like this It has to be tremendous value like it's not going to be something that's super expensive for everybody like these crazy ass You know mastermind groups 50 grand a year for you to this like the idea is to make it Very very feasible for literally anybody and everybody that is extremely valuable Yeah, and extremely valuable so it doesn't feel speaking of wish. Did you see the office? So they haven't already rolled Royce So they actually have an offer Right now for trainers. So it's uh, if you go to the nci certifications.com forward slash mind pump You get a free master class plus 50% off your next class or course Through the end of the month. So that's that's their current promotion So really what they do is they do certifications and courses for online coaches to educate them and make them a great resource Doug I texted you a link. I'd like you to pull something up. This is Incredible technology. This is night vision technology now that the military Is is using at least what they're showing us that they have. Yeah, this shit's crazy, bro. Look at this Can you buy it? This is how they'll see at night So yes, so natal. Is there a video Doug you could play or is it just that right there? How does it line them so perfectly like that? It the technology does that so I think there's a video that shows what it looks like. Yeah, click click play there Watch this look at that, dude. So this is pitch black video game This is pitch black and it literally outlines people and shows you where they are where they're moving. Wow Look at that. Isn't that crazy technology? You can't hide anymore dude. That's wild to me That is so so you're fighting at night in the pitch black And you can clearly see like it like probably better than daytime with something like that. Wow, that's Way cool. Isn't that wild? So that's the latest. Can we can we buy a pair of those? I know I'm serious Probably I'm dead serious. You can get regular night vision, but I don't think you can get that So that's the name of Doug. Let's look it up. It's called. This would be a really good mind pump investment It's called the envg-b Yeah, so giving me a hard time Can't yes, even get it. No, I'm serious Hiding in a bush. We'll just take it out of Justin's playing speaking of which Doug. Maybe you can google this Actually, I'll send you a link to it because I want the boys to see this. Have you guys seen The new air force one that they're going to start building the sneakers. No air The the plane so dumb The air force the air force one for you know that the president flies in Yeah, because you know, they've been flying for a long time in the same. What is it 740? How long have they had the same? Yeah, I mean, it's all got crazy tech in it and stuff But it's just a regular bowing, you know Yeah, I always you would think that the president would be rolling around and like something that's like super like well Doug, I just sent you a link missiles and bad-ass tactical shit on it Make no mistake inside the current air force one is probably ridiculous technology And they have jets that are near it and all that stuff Well, it's more. Yeah, like computers and servers and all that stuff. I'm sure Yeah, all that kind of stuff look at this new air force one this new air force a picture of it right there It's going to be super sick. It's going to be it's going to be a supersonic air force one So it'll be faster than any air force one that we've ever made And they hey are good. There's our tax money. Let's see it, Doug. Let's see what we let's see what we bought Bro, that's that's that's like a fraction of your tax money. Oh, I know it's another great place It's going to at least use it for something cool. Yeah, but that's I feel like you've got to take my money At least build cool shit. Yeah Yeah, get some death rays or so this thing goes so it's supersonic, right? But one of the problems with supersonic jets What's supersonic mean? Remember that song supersonic This goes go mock one now it goes faster than the speed of sound, right? Wow So so it goes fast. It's mock one. Uh, it's going to be mock one or maybe even mock two But twice the speed of sound of mock two. Wow Now is that is that okay? I don't I don't know what that means Is that the definition? I know I'm trying to get it clear. I can't be alone. Oh, wow Yeah, remember we're not scientists. No, I think six hundred and something miles an hour What is the definition of supersonic faster than the speed of sound? Okay? Okay, so speed of sound is what is it six hundred and twenty six miles an hour or something like that, Doug Maybe you can look it up Look at speed of sound and I believe seven hundred and sixty one seven sixty one So mock two is twice as fast. So two times. So this thing can go 1,400 miles an hour Maybe apparently Wow Now here's the cool thing about this is that when you go faster than the speed of sound you create a sonic boom Which is very loud sonic boom, right? It's very loud and people on the ground can hear it's not good Well, they've designed this jet to not create Sonic booms even though it breaks through the aerodynamics something. Yeah something like that There you go. Wow. What's so when are they going to make one that can go outside our atmosphere? You know for the whole space force thing I don't know 1500 miles an hour dude. Yeah, that's crazy. Isn't that crazy now? I imagine like It'll have that capability, but they'll probably cruise most of the time, right? Yeah, because you wouldn't want to be you know flexing like that all the time Imagine the gas they just want to have the capabilities. So they can just gas you to do this They take some diplomats up there like you check this I heard some crazy stat on this like a Ferrari in in in 1977 so if you did a Ferrari in 1977 and then 1997 and then 2017 the how fast it is in in a you know, bro, they weren't even that fast 60 so zero to 60 1977 was eight eight eight point four seconds And then it was a dog and then 97 it goes to uh 4.6 or six yeah 4.6 seconds somewhere around there And then uh 2017 down to 2. I think 2.9 or two Bro cars cars are so fast now when I was a kid if you got a car that was 200 horsepower It was like dude. This is a fucking fast car bro minivans 200 miles horsepower now It's like nothing Yeah, that statistic was in this book that I'm reading right now and he brings at this point He's like imagine the guys that built the the the Ferrari in uh 1997 If you told him that you would be able to get that Ferrari to go from, you know The six six zero to 60 from four seconds down to 2.9. They look at you as it's impossible And definitely the guys in 1977 would be like no way that's even possible So to try and fathom where will it be 20 years from now? You know, there were a few to flux capacitor You know, you know, there were there were scientists that when they built trains that went faster than horses There were scientists that actually petitioned and said don't do this You're gonna people's are gonna melt and weird shit's gonna happen. You're not supposed to go that fast Is that true? Yeah You're not supposed to do that. I mean it felt like that. Yeah, I'm gonna be honest Being on those fighter jets. I was like, oh my god my internal organs in my skin's like melting Yeah, well, that's a fighter jet bro. These were trains that went like 50 miles A little bit different, you know, yeah, it's true every time they invent something like that everybody freaks out But what's the next thing gonna be, you know Well see and I hear that then I then you guys get all weird when they're you know making a monkey slash human I think that's all way different than going Yeah, that is there's no reason to do that That is what we're concerned about. Well, I bet you people back then that there was no reason to go 50 miles an hour Like who is in that much of a hurry? They need to go 50 miles an hour. I get that, you know Leave 10 minutes early, but a monkey human bro. Come on. So I mean their rationale is that they're gonna like harvest organs from it Is what I heard. Yes. That's that's the same thing and there's there's there's your rationale. No No, yeah, like that's that's so twisted in so many different. Yeah, why don't they do this? Okay, just keep riding horses. Well, why don't you just make a heart in the lab? Why you gotta grow in a monkey? Fuck. Yeah, well, I'm sure there's some there's some logical reason why that is done in a monkey It's because it's probably the closest thing. Oh now you're a sign all of a sudden No, whoa. Whoa. Whoa. Whoa. I think I think this whole thing with robots is is a farce like Dude, because like, you know how all these movies are like, oh robots, you know, we're never gonna get that far with robots We need a lot further with human beings. We're just gonna integrate it all within human beings Oh, yeah, no 100% who had the meme that had the the robot that ate the girl's hair. I did Like look at robots. They're all like Clunky, I mean, I follow that I follow that one page. Hey, what's how do they move? So accurate. Yeah, I mean some of them are pretty creepy, you know Like Boston Dynamics is one of those pages I follow all the time and they show like some progress with some of them Where they can actually like dance and and you know figure things out, but they're still just No, I'm with you. I 100% believe that we're gonna see that that's most likely as people that I mean, we're already Human robot hybrids. Well, there's already people that do all the, you know, biohacking stuff to increase their sound They're already perfected. Have you got to do is add stuff to us. Have you guys seen these backyard? Not backyard garage scientists. Okay, so CRISPR technology dudes Well, bro because because you can get a lot of these this technology and chemicals What is wrong with people through a gray market and you say it's and you can YouTube it These guys are experimenting on themselves doing weird bioluminescent stuff. They're injecting their eyes. Yeah, dude. I mean, I'm down I'm cool. That's fine. Do that yourself, but it's your body, right? Go for it. I just I mean, the truth is I mean, let's be honest So that's probably how we're gonna have a breakthrough in that is someone who has the balls that do weird Shit like that. We bring I mean, and this is kind of a crazy, you know analogy or parallel to draw here But bodybuilders, I mean, how much they progressed weight training because they had the balls that do you think we'll be able to Okay, what's what's the first breakthrough you think it's going to come out something like that? Like what if like we could regrow limbs just like uh, lizards Yeah, that's that's how lizard fucking man in spider-man was made by exactly. That's exactly how he's made It's it's in the it was a guy. He was an amputee in the comics in the comics and then he wanted to figure out How to grow back in comics is like I mean you guys. Hey, it's real lot of human Monkey hybrids come on dude. It's all up in the air now. You gotta start going back to these comics that they had all laid out No, it's gonna be it's gonna be really interesting It's gonna be really interesting what people are gonna do to their bodies and what are they gonna come out with? I don't know. It's gonna be kind of cool, but I know the self experimentation is I mean that science That's how the first vaccine was developed. You guys know that, right? Yeah The first vaccine was the scientists who saw the cowpox was similar to smallpox Took some of it and in creative vaccine actually tested it on his son and himself And then discovered that a vaccine works and then that was it Experimented on his kid. That's kind of wow. Yeah, what if it didn't work? But you're right. I mean you see I think we're gonna see like the chip in the brain real soon here I think what we're one of the things we're closest to that I think is going to be the most Revolutionary out of everything out of all the things we're talking about Is literally the ability to google search and get the information that you have in your phone But just by thinking you know that'll be more that'll be more than revolutionary. That'll be that's what i'm saying I think that that will disrupt more than anything else. That'll disrupt everything I feel like there's gonna be a lot of people's brains like just melting. No once you tap into that Okay, I think that'll be the worst fucking thing we could do Like really think about how inundated you already are with with just stimulus all day long and then to have that It's the worst possible thing you could do it will destroy humanity. I'll tell you why okay We have I think that we now know for sure That knowing shit just doesn't make humans act better just because we know stuff doesn't make us wiser Because we have access to all this information and there's now people There are groups of people that still believe that earth is flat more now than the war 30 years ago, right? Yeah, so you want to have access instant access to the information to the internet with your brain You know crazy and weird shit's gonna get it's like equal parts like good information with disinformation I mean at the same time. I mean, I don't know. I don't think it's it's that far different than now The only difference you have to act very different bro. You think so yes You know the bottleneck with your with your hand in the phone is very different. That's a massive bottleneck. It is Oh my god, my phone is so far. I don't want to fucking search. Go on two three Yeah, it's not the same when you can think it okay when you think of a thought and you connect abstract ideas in your brain You have no idea how Complex that well, I envision it to be an on and off switch too because you that could be torturous to be stuck in The web all the time like you would never want to I wouldn't want to have a conversation with you And as we're having like a fun, you know debate all this information is being fired at me looks like like how does that work? Do you close your eyes and then you know, you're that's why I think there's an on and off switch I feel like it's that it's that it's like I can I can just switch it off I mean you make a good point like what would the hell would that look like without driving you're crazy Yeah, you'd have to you have an on and off switch It'd have to be something we want to interface like you need like some kind of glasses or something to push your nose You that should be my dream of genie. No, that's be witch. Oh, it's be witch You push your nose and then it turns on the the software you have to fart. Yeah Oh, it's oh shit. I turned it on an accident. I think we really solved I don't know. I don't think we're far from that though. I think that's where the the closest to doing something crazy I think the first thing we're gonna see is gonna be The implants in your eyes, that's what I think that already happens. No, no, no I think that's not what I'm what I'm saying is I think that the very first thing we're gonna see The black mirror episode where you like zoom with one. Yeah, where you literally can like you have like a ridiculous camera They're tempting google glasses like that. Yeah, but it's but it's like either a lens or like a contact Yeah, so you could just see like hella far away Or whatever speaking of cameras, you know what I just realized about my iphone I told I shared this with Justin yesterday that You know your iphone is is set a lot of times on a default camera That saves your battery the most because obviously that's one of the biggest selling lowest resolution But there's like what it goes 4x clearer shut your face. Yes. No go to your phone right? Do you have your phone right now? Go go to your camera videos can be so And tell me okay go in your camera open the camera open your camera look at the top right hand corner What does it say? It didn't say anything. It was just a little dots or whatever. Oh, yeah Yours is really no camera not photo go to camera like a video video camera Go to video camera or something go to video camera and what does it say top right? Oh, it says hd 30 bro It goes to it goes three four times. Yes, it's a 4k now. Look now look around. No Yes, that's weird You've been in that funny well because it eats up your battery, right? Is that the reason? Yeah, well and because of course. Oh my god. I'm so annoyed. I didn't know that right now Why didn't anybody tell me so one of the selling points for phones like one of the number one selling points Is it's battery life like at least with the smartphones today because you know the obviously the more power they're using The more power they need to do these things. They suck dude. It made a huge difference every time I clicked it. Yeah That's annoying. I haven't always videos at my son. I know I just I just found that out the other day Well, and the way I found out was Katrina had hers obviously on the higher resolution and I grabbed and I know that I have a newer model So I she's got the older model I grab it and I'm like, why does your camera look so much better than I have a better phone It doesn't make sense. Yeah, and I look at it and I'm like so then I go to the default I go look up the I pull up in your settings So that's where you go go in your settings go to camera and it shows where your default Video camera settings and they have it like on the second one. It goes like six levels all the way to 4k 4k 60 Wow, that's annoying. We've been missing out. So I just found that out So there's a little plug for somebody by the way. Did you know that sometimes you say grab instead of grab? Grab grab grab. I say grab grab. Yeah, so I she's got the older model. I grab it Yeah, so we say I grab it you say I grab it. It sounds like you said a v. Oh my god. I do a lot of stuff If you don't even know do well somebody asked me if I was dyslexic and I and I and I responded back No, they did it. Yeah. No, they but they did it in a very genuine nice way. They're like, you know my Hey, do you have any learn you? Yeah, they did they did well they didn't they said it like they said I have a very serious question You know, like do you have dyslexia because I have a son that does and I want and he wanted She said it was actually like a compliment, right? I believe it or not like a backhand it was like a shit sandwich Actually, she was like, you know, I wanted to share with him some inspiring people. You've been so successful despite your Hey, I I firmly believe that some of the most successful people Are learn differently. Well, so coming coming from a mother who has a son is dyslexic. She said that she's read a lot about it She says they're actually There's there's some very very successful people because they've had to deal with that their whole life And they've overcame that adversity at a young age And then they built character. It builds incredible character So my answer to her was I've never been diagnosed with that or 80d Although I speculate that I've struggled with both I mean because I read for somebody who reads as much as I read I should be able to speak a lot better than what I Oh, you're a very good communicator. That's not what you just pronounce words weird Yeah, but that's a difference right good at communicating right and and and getting people to take a very complex Thing and then give it to them in a way that that's easy to which you do that very well Well, yes, but yeah as far as the words that I choose to put in there to get that get to that No, you do really well. That's not true I'll say I'll say a word that you've never heard of before And I'll hear you say in the next conversation and use it in context properly. Well, just so you know, that's also you just put flair That's on your words. This is a skill that I think he just wants to be unique. Yeah Just like your shoes. No, it's I trust me. I mean, I am not trying to pronounce things the wrong way It's a skill though What you just said that I've had I had to teach myself how to do so I and I remember doing I like vividly remember Or you know actively making a conscious effort to do this when I would learn something I knew that I had to immediately go teach it even though I'm No matter no matter how green I am to learning it. This is what made me is such made me good at training I knew very little coming in But I was I was thirsty to learn and I always ask people much smarter than me questions They would tell me something immediately after that even if it didn't fucking apply I was a teaching it to the next client because I knew that I had to do that if I was going to To solidify sticks. Yeah, then it would stick I think my theory is that people who think differently and I know there's actual, you know, they call them disabilities But I think oftentimes it's just you think differently innovation risk taking Oftentimes that comes from places where you just see things differently So everybody sees things a certain way It's hard to innovate because everybody sees the problem the same then you get someone from the outside Who without they can't help but think outside the box because they think differently They have different ideas and that's why I That's why you see in studies entrepreneurs actually have higher rates of some of these things like ADD for example I would I would bet you a million dollars that salespeople entrepreneurs probably a greater percentage of them Have ADD than people who who don't well I think for me it's it's maybe even simpler like just everything has been hard for me My whole life like I've I've not worked which is also why I always get really Like what is one of the things that drives me crazy? Someone tries to pull like the white privilege card on me and stuff like that It's like that drives me crazy because my whole life has been riddled with adversity Is there people out there that have it worse just immediately values all the work But nothing has come easy to me not sports not learning not anything. I've ever done came easy to me I always had to work at it, but I'm extremely grateful for that. You were just attractive I mean, let's be honest. Yeah, I that it's not you either Hey, hey, I still attractive. I don't care what you say. Yeah attractive. Yeah, you are You're on camera. Everybody can see maybe a maybe halfway today Maybe today like because I worked I worked hard at that. You know I'm saying I had to Hey, you always dated hot girls. Yes or no personality though attractive. That's what I mean by attractive personality Yeah, okay, I'll take that so I you know for sure like in school, you know, I think I've shared that before right Damn, it's working what he's doing right now. See what he's doing making me give him compliments Yeah, yeah, well, hey when I was in high school, I was a 130 pounds at six foot something, right? I had shredded ribs sticking out like this, right, you know, bony elbow and stuff like that skinny arms, right? And I uh had both my front two teeth were completely crooked. I saw pictures and turned in You know, I did my family didn't have money. So I was wearing knockoff clothes You know, I drove a piece of shit car when I finally could drive this is like my life story, but You know, I I also uh, I was comfortable with making fun of myself because in high school I mean everybody you're gonna get teased and it's just true. It doesn't matter what Yeah, you can get and I went through teasing bullying all that stuff like that and I just I learned to laugh at myself I couldn't do anything about those things, right? I didn't have the money to go get braces I didn't have couldn't change the way I dressed in fact That's actually what made me the guy who like wore unique and different stuff. So I started to create my own drift store Yeah, I created my own style because if I tried if I tried to fit in with everybody else I would be made fun of more for trying. So I just I carved my own path No, that's a great you make you actually made a phenomenal point there A skill is to be able to learn it yourself. You know how important that is to laugh at yourself Sorry, how important of a skill that is for people. Yeah, very challenging, right? It's a lost art if you can laugh at yourself, uh, and oh, that's funny. Oh, yeah You know, I could see how I did that bad or whatever You almost become invincible to like the challenges that people present you with because It's like what are you gonna say to me that I haven't said you're not gonna pile on somebody, you know Well, you don't give the gas that somebody who is okay somebody who's doing that is that's putting down somebody else Is it's a reflection of themselves. They're insecure And they're looking for instant gratification to put you down to give them that temporary feeling of feeling better by Themself if you don't give that to them It doesn't work. It doesn't they move on to the next that's right They move on to the next target that will give to that. They go. They move on to the next week person This is what you learn growing up. Yeah, you got to go through that, you know, that's I'm sorry, but there's value Just like I taught so many kids I'm so responsible for all these kids bubble tape the whole thing man. It's like otherwise we end up with everybody That's just so soft. Well, it's just hard because not a lot of people I think I mean, I don't think I this is also another thing that's good about being an older father Like I fully grasp that as a 40 year old man I can I and I can I can communicate that to my son when that day comes if I was 25 I was still putting that together I was still growing through that and moving beyond those insecurities So if I had a son who's going through it too, like you're just reaction You're right being an insecure dad versus being a secure Dad, what a difference. What a tremendous difference, right? So now when when those those and so you gotta think of parents Who have kids that are going through that that are 22 years old and their kids getting picked on They just want the school to intervene or they just want rules and laws to be put in place So that doesn't happen and let's put my kid in a bubble because they don't have the foresight To see that oh, wow actually this may develop their character and if I as a parent can communicate this So they understand what the teacher is a discipline the parent has to apply right Which is really hard to to convey because we have you have kids having kids Yeah, exactly and you teach kids how to handle and move through situations. It's like, uh, what is it? What's the what do they say like don't change the world for your kid because that's impossible But get your kid to adapt to be able to you know to navigate and whatever comes their way Yeah, so you make your child tough resilient exactly Hey real quick. I hope you're enjoying the podcast head over to mind pump free calm and check out all of our free stuff We've got all kinds of free giveaways there. They cost nothing Mind pump free calm. All right. Enjoy the rest of the podcast first question is from c david anthony What are your thoughts on super slow training super slow training? Is there a franchise? Is there a franchise that still exists that's around this? I just remember the one that was off silver creek Yes. Yeah, but really they actually have places that are yes They do. Yeah, they just do super slow training kind of fascinating as a young trainer. I used to shit on it Really? Yeah as a young trainer not kind of being aware of like how valuable that actually could be for somebody So they obviously targeted, you know with the older population And that was the angle was they they were explaining the the importance of resistance training But and the safety of going super super slow And they have all these machines and they would literally do like a single rep that like took yeah 30 seconds or a minute Yeah, yeah, so I so I actually read about I don't know that by the way I read about this as a kid like it was super into trying to build muscle and I found Anything I could read about building muscle the history of building muscle the science I would consume and I read an article about super they called it super slow motion Training and it started during world war two During world war two It was very difficult to get iron In fact, the government limited how much iron you could buy for things like weights or whatever because they needed it for the war effort So you had all these people that were lifting weights not a ton, but enough to where they're like, what are we going to do? Our dumbbells now only go up to 30 pounds. We only have a few 10 pound weights And so these bodybuilders invented Super slow motion training whereas with a normal rep it might be a two reps down two reps up They would do something like 30 seconds up 30 seconds down or 60 seconds up 60 seconds down Their intention solely was to see how much they could make it more difficult and challenging with yeah, they're limited amount of weight Yes, now there's there is uh diminishing returns like you can't just go like ridiculous with slow-mo training and expect better and better results In fact at some point when the time under tension is too long It becomes an endurance exercise rather than a strength training exercise, but that being said Uh slow motion training if you go like if you do like a 30 second rep Think about how long a set normally takes you right? So how how long would a set of 15 reps traditionally take you? Yeah, 30 to 45 seconds, right? So if you did one rep that took 30 to 45 seconds the time under tension Similar and you're gonna get and you will get some interesting results. I had a boss that competed in bodybuilding He was a little guy. Oh, I know you're talking about. Yeah, I had a boss who had the shoe skates. Yes, he did And he used to he had to roll around Yeah, right weirdo and he was kind of yeah, he was a different guy for sure. Uh, and this was the first time Yep. Yeah, he was around the gym in him. Yeah. Yeah, he was uh great physique though He did great great physique shredded and this is how he trained. I'll never forget watching him train He would go grab like a pair of 80 pound dumbbells and do one rep Very very slow And so he like you bring up the point of like, you know, that's limiting because you can't you know You don't want to do it for you know Three minutes because then it becomes endurance right wouldn't do that He would just do it for and he had this incredible physique and he trained every muscle group like this It would be one to two reps tops and it would be incredibly slow and he would pick a weight That's probably up there towards his, you know, 80 percent or so interesting. I've never seen anybody do that Yes, that's how he trained and that always not like sometimes he always trained this way and he had a great physique And I I see and it makes sense and this was a young guy now I see tremendous value for somebody who's uh older Totally and because this is way safer if you grab a weight that you can control On a 15 second negative It's it's a weight that is for sure a lot lighter than a weight that you could probably push, you know Out five or six reps with so the fact that you can control it like that And you're not just using the the rebound effect which a lot of people do when they on their when they're coming out of the negative Uh, I just think that's a really really valuable for that that clientele I'd imagine there'd be a lot of other like benefits to it like cognitive benefits and like focus benefits You know for going like super slow and being under that amount of tension that whole time and being able to account for every little Movement and everything like that. I think that your brain will be highly uh a spark to that point I I use that I use that as a great way to teach form Of course So if I had a client that was and I wouldn't do it the whole The whole set or the whole workout like this, but if let's say I was teaching something It's basic as like a straight bar curl and doesn't matter how many times I showed him He was still rocking the elbows and doing all stuff. I would then go, okay We're gonna go go real lightweight and I'm like, you're gonna I want you to go super slow You're gonna take 30 seconds I want you to count on your head while you do this and I would be positioning his body So as he got to different parts of the rep adjust, I would adjust I would adjust like no no no see your elbows are gonna go then I would readjust And so once they felt that go through like two or three like really slow reps It would click for them like, oh, I need to keep myself like this He used to do some interesting stuff like this for sports training where we do squats But then we'd have somebody sort of pushing them from one side So they had to account for that type of force with as they're going down So that way too like it was like a stability issue too like somebody had A little bit of instability they could really address it by going super slow and then you know accounting for that all the way down Yeah, well with this you you get great stability and you get great connection Like if you have trouble connecting to a muscle in a compound lift Do a really slow rep right because as I'm going down in a squat and I if I want to feel my glutes I can each Increment readjust and continue to concentrate on the muscle that I'm trying to target for example a bench press right One thing you could do with a bench press is you could focus on the fact that the chest It's what's bringing the humerus to center right so what I could do is I could create tension Bringing my hands in and I can bring my arms out as I go down and know that the chest is resisting that kind of outward Motion and as I come up I'm focusing on bringing the elbow in rather than extending the arm which is a tricep So it allows you to connect it builds stability What it doesn't do is it doesn't contribute well to speed or power Or athleticism except for from a stability standpoint I think this is a great technique to throw on occasionally. I don't think it replaces traditional resistance training But I do think or for beginners too. Yeah, I think it's a great I mean, it's great to do like a week throwing a week of doing this or an exercise Yeah, an exercise. I could see that or an exercise and see how it feels the pump you get from this is insane By the way, you get an incredible pump from I mean, I do this, uh, you know like almost unintentionally So at home we only have up to 50 pound dumbbells I was doing shoulders of the day and I can do a lot more than 50 pound dumbbells and so You know, I was like, wow, I'm gonna I want to get my shoulder workout. So my presses. I just I did these, you know, five extremely slow reps So, yeah, no, I think it's I think it's great value and I think it it's Especially for specific groups. No, obviously to your point if you're an athlete or you have specific goals But for the average person Um intermittently using this into your routine or doing a phase of it every once while or just Every once in a while doing that with an exercise And I like to pick an exercise that you you're you're you're not the greatest at form and technique wise It's a good excuse for you to slow it down. I like the discrepancy. That's right. That's right Next question is from hades gray nine How effective are upright rows and developing the shoulders? What are the best exercises to have a well balanced and developed shoulder? This is one of those exercises that we were told was bad that you should never have somebody do Right that it's real bad for the shoulder. It's going to cause lots of problems And I want to be very clear Definitely more risk with an upright row because it requires more stability But if you can do these properly with good control, they're very very safe now that being said I love the upright rows for developing the shoulders. In fact, I would put it In the top 10 definitely maybe even top five of the best exercises for developing shoulders And and mainly it's because of this All other effective shoulder exercises involve a combination of shoulders and triceps So you get that that shoulder tricep recruitment pattern, right? So overhead press right shoulders and triceps Well with an upright row it's shoulders and biceps as i'm pulling up triceps are not even activated. It's my biceps So it's a different feel To the shoulders and I it's again. It's one of my favorite exercise. In fact, I it's always in rotation with my shoulder Well, I also think that it it incorporates all three parts of the shoulder really well Right a lot of shoulder exercises I mean you can't isolate a part of the shoulder But a lot of shoulder exercises are targeting a specific part of the shoulder your laterals your front delts or your rear delts But in the upright row you you you pull with the rear delt the laterals are incorporated And even the front is incorporated with the way that you pull in it So it's it's one of my favorite exercises to do for the shoulders Now as a trainer, I was told that we weren't supposed to do it because everybody is so rounded forward Everybody's so rounded forward and then you're doing this exercise that's going to tighten them up in that position Well, and I think too if you're not addressing Some of those postural deviations like in that you may be reinforcing bad patterns You know, but once once you get all that accounted for and you're able to Uh get set your shoulder in a good position where it's it's it's you know, it's back. It's down It's it's it's locked in place Uh, you know, it has nothing but value from there in terms of like what it provides for development for the shoulder Yeah, you know, it's funny is that if you do upright rows properly with full range of motion, especially at the top Where you actually engaging the upper back musculature It's not a bad exercise for posture. It actually becomes a good one So that's how I cued it because I was told that and I still love the exercise I was like, okay Well, if everyone if I'm being told that it's bad because it's just promoting more forward shoulder When I cue it i'm going to cue it as that's where you come from right? So as you pull up I'm already queuing rear delt and trap back, you know So it's like this you pull back versus some people they do this like kind of raise where they're like they shrug their shoulders No, I like to bring it close to the body at the top. Yes, and you pull and squeeze Pull squeeze it next question is from coach cure Do you find the reverse grip bench press useful or is it just an old school overrated move? I cannot remember the last time I did this been a long time. So I've done this exercise So I you know when I got introduced to these there was a power lifter that was in the magazines a lot Who used to do his bench press something clark? He looked like he had the record at one point. Yeah, maybe dug can look him up He was like he was he was either filipino or hawaiian Massive dude and he would bench press like 700 pounds with this reverse grip. Yeah, and I remember thinking like what like What's the advantage there? What's the value right? So reverse get bench presses first off Gotta get comfortable with them Okay, because you don't want to fail on that and also racking with the reverse grip can be very Yeah, this is like a good partner exercise a good partner exercise or get yourself in position and practice and learn how to do it Right. Um, did you oh and was it anthony clark? Yeah, show show a picture of this guy So this is the guy that um that if you remember that I don't know just I remember random I know I remember that guy that I would never I would never be able to wow. Look at you remembered all that Yeah, I was filipino. Yeah, so and he would bench like ridiculous Amounts of weight with the with the reverse grip But anyhow the reverse grip what it does is it forces the elbows and yeah 805 is his bench record Yeah, so it he passed away actually in 2005. So that's the same It forces the elbows in so you can use more front delt and believe it or not elbows in actual works also works the upper chest More because of the way that the fibers of the upper chest Orient when your elbows are in decelerating too. I mean, aren't you like engaging your biceps a bit more? Maybe stabilization stabilizing it. Yeah, I don't a lot of tricep though. Yeah a lot of tricep front delt and you get that upper chest Now I noticed when I did these and I started practicing to get good at them That I got a little carryover to my regular bench press and this is why I started doing them because now back then bench press was the I liked him I was on a kick for a while or it was I used to put it in the routine That's why when he brought this I was like, wow, I haven't even thought about that exercise in so long You know, it's uh, I mean here's a great part Once you've been lifting for a really long time. It's a great movement and you can absolutely You know, I where would you put it though? Are you guys putting it in as a replacement of a chest exercise or would you put it in as a OC so I would use it more often like a like a close bench press for your triceps I would sometimes do a reverse. No, I would I would do a tricep thing I would do instead of a bench press Or I would do it as a another press for chest, right? So if I did my bench press See, I use it for triceps. That's and by the way, you can do that. Yes, you can you can you and an exercise Especially like that one You can put more emphasis on one muscle more than the other like sal was talking about the main ones that are incorporated there If you're trying to get the chest out of it, you can really focus on chest If you want triceps, you can focus on using more That's what's kind of cool about compound lifts is you can Mentally concentrate on a muscle that you want to take over the lift more Yeah, you know, you know what really to what it does with the bench is you know how if you want to bench a lot of weight How you get real tight and you kind of suck in the elbows and activate the lats The reverse grip bench press really encourages that tight feeling. In fact, I'm surprised Justin Yeah, I've never yeah experiment got my brain, uh, you know going this is an this exercise has your name all over I feel like if you did him you'd actually love it's interesting because you know how the the stance I don't know if it's like taekwondo or they always have this position And they're like, huh just reminds me of that's like the power stance Uh, but uh, yeah, I've never messed with that. I know would you also then experiment with doing something? Like uh, if you take that and then you bring it back over your head and then you do some pullovers Oh with the reverse grip. Wow. So you do like a pullover to a press. Yeah, I'm wondering that's an interesting exercise Yeah, I don't know. Yeah, I feel weird. Well the amount of weight you could probably press it Not much. Yeah, you'd have to you'd have to use lightweight or do that. No, I mean by itself Like I would just be using yeah for for for doing that with just the reverse grip. I'm just thinking about using the reverse grip I'll have to experiment. Well, like Sal said, I think I mean this this Exercise I think would would be in your wheelhouse. This is like place all your strength. Yeah, it's your strengths I mean, so I imagine you know as many times as I've done it. We could probably do it right now You probably out outperform Sal and I both because those are your strengths. Next question is from rary walnuts What's the proper amount of volume per body part per week? Is it a different amount for the larger muscles versus the smaller muscles? Yeah, you know, okay, so You're gonna what you're gonna hear us say is that this is very different from person to person which it is that being said studies show that the Total set volume so for a whole week whether you work out your body parts twice a week three days a week or once a week Is anywhere between 10 to about 18 sets? So you got a pretty big range most people doing well Around 12 total sets per body part per week. Now. Is it different for larger muscle groups or smaller muscle groups? No, not really Probably because the smaller muscle groups are getting work typically done With the larger muscle groups and we don't typically count that volume. So in other words I'm only gonna count the volume for my triceps when I'm working my triceps Although when I do my shoulder presses and my bench presses my triceps are obviously going to be quite involved But that number is a general number and here's the truth. The truth is You got to figure this number out for yourself The right dose for you is what's going to build the most muscle and give you the best results More than that is going to slow down your progress and less than that is going to slow down Your progress so and in my number changes, uh, I definitely There are times when I'm doing Closer to 20 sets per body part per week and then there's times when these sets are much lower But usually it's the intensity there's there's such an individual variance for person too Like some people can just handle so much. I mean we you talk about this a lot with your legs like your legs can handle So much more volume than other body parts. I mean I was thinking about that uh yesterday I was training shoulders here and I can just I can take a lot on my shoulders I could take a lot of my shoulders Barely have to hit my chest or my back to get as sore so and I I've found that it to be unique to every person So you really have to figure out where that that point is for you and certain muscle groups You're going to be able to do You know more than others and so once you figure that out And then trying to track it and then slowly scale and then the other thing too is like when you scale it I think that the mistake that most people make is they go Right to oh, I can handle so much more like if I'm just starting and I've been very gradual Yeah, you don't have to in fact My goal when I was because I was tracking this a lot when I was competing My goal was always to make sure I at least accomplish what I did last week or a little bit more Because what most people have a tendency to do is to go backwards a little bit They start out the first week. This is their volume Maybe they track that way for a couple weeks and then they have a slow week and then they go down And then they overcompensate they over correct and then they go way hard It's like no, you don't need to do that. Just a tiny bit this all Oh, this this was like a pattern that I had to figure out like where I would Take a week off or something I would be on a break and then I'd come back and I'd try and And hit the same amount of volume that I was doing and it would just destroy myself And then I would go through that process of like repair damage heal You know and so I'm just basically healing my way back to get to Thinking that I like that was the most effective way to do it was to just hammer myself to get back to that kind of volume Yeah, and there's also this like There's the there's your limit in terms of how much volume you can handle that you can recover from And then there's the ideal amount of volume Yeah, great point the most muscle and give you the best results and those are different Like I can handle more volume than I currently do but doing so Will actually reduce my progress and my my goals, right? Such a good point We'll slow down my progress towards my goals. I should say so there is a right dose and it's not the most you can do The most you can do is the most you can heal from but that's not the the right dose that'll give you the best Adaptation so and I want to say it's a fall for that all the time like oh, I recovered from that Let me add more Oh, I recovered for that and then and then for some reason I dropped the volume for whatever reason and I'd be like Oh my gosh, then your body takes off. Yeah like what the hell is going on? I thought I thought I could handle that before which I could it just was more than That that was ideal for my body to to progress Look, if you like our content, you got to head over to mind pump free.com We have all kinds of guides there that can help you with all kinds of fitness goals It's mind pump free.com.
