 YouTube what's up man today's video we're going over Q&A's on the anonymous version the internet's already weird and y'all with the anime Abbie's you're asking weird questions now there's some app that's anonymous follow me solid Mike on Instagram thirsty barbell on Instagram Sebastian Brambigia underscore on Instagram. We're gonna dive in squat day and a full pull workout We're getting veiny man. We're getting vascular 201 today I did a little Consult with coach JPG coaching and we're getting shredded nasty sick dick-skinned lean All right first question preparing to lift 315 on the bench. Well only weigh in 150. That's a big old bench Only 20 pounds away. How do you mentally prepare for a heavy lift? you know, I think that's why powerlifting is so simple in Theory but so complex and difficult in practice is it's about just doing the same things over and over and over again So if you're benching 295 right now or whatever, I'm benching 135 I'm taking the barbell all the way up to 295 and I'm doing it exactly not only pressing as hard But my setup my execution is exactly like What it'll be when I try 315 when I try 365 when I try 405 Obviously things can get in your head and you're scared of the three plates And you're like man, I've never touched this am I gonna miss today. I'm gonna make it There's a little bit of fear involved, but that's why the practice the Superstition or the tradition or the routine of lifting has to be the exact same when I walk out this 135 squat I'm executing and doing every step every breath the exact same as when I'm gonna squat 600 Beyond that obviously some loud music You think some angry thoughts all those people do some of that some people be bashing their head on the wall sniffing ammonia Yeah, you gotta talk. Yeah, you turn on angry Metallica or whatever But honestly, I think concentration is more important than getting hyped up getting a little bit hyped up can help And beyond that it's just practice man practice practice practice practice and you may miss it Practice when I missed a 405 Or when I bench 405 like two or three times and I missed it twice going up into it It's just kind of part of the game if you're taking new balance and going to new new spaces things may go wrong technically You may not just be strong enough, but Sacrificing for the unknowns the same we say so you want to put in a certain amount of work You want to follow your program you want to get your sleep you want to get your nutrition for six weeks to bench that 315 Whether that 315 comes or not either way you have to set yourself up for the best chance for success I guess we'll call this like that get to know Mike episode because a lot of these which is cool I love it and that's why we podcast that's why I mean if you guys been rocking with me I just talked to a homeboy Like she said he followed me subscribed to me for like I guess almost 10 years. He said 2015 says crazy So a lot of you might know some of this stuff, but I guess I get to know me episode If you were to move from California, where would you go? We could dive into like politics or nothing crazy So I was born in Portland, Oregon We moved around a bunch for my dad's work, and then we just settled in Sacramento My mom's not from this country. So I don't have a lot of family And my mom's here in Sacramento. So Obviously, we have the business 3sb. I own a home here and a lot of those things are what keep me in sack And truly I do love our city. It's a small city really good food good vibes good people Whether it gets a little hot, but it's not that crazy Where I live and where the gym is yeah, I ride my bike everywhere. Like I really do like the vibes. It's pretty But truth is I'm kind of antisocial I wouldn't say I'm like socially awkward, but I just don't love doing a lot of things that people my age are doing So I can kind of live anywhere. I get a good internet. I like my house. It's stable Yeah, I wouldn't mind I visited most places in America and there's not a lot of places I'd be like no, I'm never gonna live there there is I Didn't get I was like recruited out of high school for basketball But not like highly recruited but currently now that I'm 33 There's a big recruitment for me to go to Las Vegas There's a big recruitment and There's a there's a scout. There's a scout that's been hitting me up nearly weekly two of them really there's a couple scout It's a pairing that I've been that yeah, that have been recruiting me to go to Vegas So I'll never say never at this time We I got a lot of energy and focus here at the gym and growing the not only the community here Which is amazing seabass a big part of it Eddie helping me grow this in person And once we kind of get that maybe more stable. I'll look into it housing out here is crazy And there's a lot of factors that make you know make me one lucky and blessed that I bought my house when I did but potential to move potential Just never say never but again it man if I got good internet good food and I got some homies around me Yeah, I can live anywhere Hey All right, dude, we can't like answer them all because there's so much going on But there's like like five like dating questions in a row Why do they think I know how to date nobody? On what give me something. What the hell is that? I don't know who that is Oh, it's not I'll smash a vampire Dude, he's always a vampire. He's never gonna be a Batman. He's a fucking vampire After I bench my wrists really hurt and pop like when you crack your knuckles tips I don't know about the the cracking. Maybe you should go to a physical therapist or something. I don't know But a lot of times what happens follow me friends. I feel like mr. Rogers come on inside If you start benching and a lot of the weight is held up here in these knuckles You're gonna get a lot of flexion here and that's probably gonna add pressure and a little bit of pain When I'm trying to bench. I'm really trying to get it on this bone right here This bone is obviously this forearm bone and same thing when we're squatting or deadlifting We're trying to stack our joints You're gonna be stronger when you're stacked up and so often the tip I'll give people is you kind of fake a suicide grip here with no thumb You'll get that meat right here And you'll feel these bones and then wrap your thumb after but that bar should be sitting vertically right here If it gets again in the back of the wrist, I know you're gonna say well My favorite lifter so and so has it up here. That's fine, but he's not the one complaint about wrist pain So if we're gonna fix the wrist pain, the other opportunity is to use wrist wraps and I can steal the boys in a second I'll show you how to wrap a wrist properly So a lot of times people actually end up wrapping their forearm down here and that's not gonna help or give any support at all It's the same with like your belt You're gonna try to wrap it almost halfway up your hand and you want to cover the joint 50% on both sides 50 here 50 here, and that's gonna stabilize this joint from wiggling around Big stacks my pockets on creatine Little Wayne That's really good So that was in like 2008 and people still to this day don't even know creatine or what it is a little Wayne's wrapping about creatine 2008 so so many questions. I want to educate you on some fitness things, but all I swear I just read almost 50% of the questions to the boys and they're all like personal so personal vlog it is plans for a family or No, now, I don't know what you guys believe in my boys or the fam here One true love or fate or whatever. I don't really care what you believe in because I think that a Partner or even friendship or one of the few things you can't like work towards In a friendship and in a partnership you need to work, but that's not what I'm saying So if you have a goal to bench 315 we can build a plan put in the effort and execute I don't think friendship Good friendship real deep depth to a friendship or a partnership. I don't think effort Will ever equate to more success in that spot? I think you can put yourself in more advantageous positions, right? If you meet more people you'll be able to filter and so Like my point is that if I planned a family If I just go get married tomorrow just because I want kids because I have this goal Yeah, but chances are I'm gonna settle Or or not be happy or not in my opinion find the right partnership and no offense But I think a lot of people do that in this world. They feel lonely. They can't be alone with themselves Society or your family or your own personal pressure to build a career and have kids is Overpowering to your happiness or finding the right person and say we like businesses like people have asked me to open A gym since I closed my last one in 2010 and I didn't want to open a gym to the situations, right? In this situation because of the nostalgia because this is where I started the podcast in 2011 it all fit So I did it people asked me to sell merch in 2014 I didn't sell my own merch until I had the creative juices the time and energy I wanted to actually create the highest quality products I can and a partnership is the same for me, so I've always said I don't plan on having kids or getting married or I don't I've always said I don't have a future that I see with that, but if the right person comes I'm open man. I'm about to be I'm about to be 34 in a couple days. And so like, you know Things change. Yeah. No for sure. I'm just I'm just about to peak. I'll probably pick it like 38 I think I'm gonna be I'm gonna be a sexy 38 year old I think you peak every 20 years and when I was about 16, I was a dime piece. Oh Yeah, at 16. Yeah, I was hot. I was hot. So we're expecting 38 I'm gonna come around the lol of being ugly for the last 20 years, but uh I'm a pretty, you know, we're gonna get pretty we're getting jacked. Yeah, so no plans. I'm not against kids I'm not for kids. I'm not gonna force a marriage, but if the partner shows up in the vibe is right We've added right off to the sunset on my chariot Thanks for watching brand new videos every Tuesday Thursday is fun little anonymous Q&A If you guys want to get involved with more Q&As follow me on Instagram something like 2k is 3sb.co shorts are available Couple new tees just a basic foundation drop.
