 It's a warm-up dude five minutes walking isn't called a cardio Doing this front squad a bit you guys are probably get two-day workouts here head into the expo tomorrow We're gonna catch work out in the morning vlog both welcome to video. I'm selling Mike 3sb.co the drops out I know you weren't any I sold the shirt off my back so hot to 3sb.co check out all the clothes Hopefully your size is in stock. I can't guarantee it if you go there and it's not there You should be in discord link below then you'll never miss out on a drop Yeah Typically speaking when you lose weight a good amount of weight people always worry about their strength going away Or their muscle going away truth is feel like keep the amount of muscle you want the amount of stimulus and hard work hard work You need to keep muscle is a lot lot less than is to build muscle So obviously when you're deficit you want to train hard cuz you're eating less calories your overall energy is gonna be down She just won't be able to go as hard or lift as much as you did when you're bulking right or maintenance Duh, but beyond that if you lose a significant amount of weight depending on on genetics and how you store fat You can lose a lot of strength because the levers start to change feel a little bit thick in the tummy A little bit thick in the hammies you start you bounce out of the squat pretty good now You got no tummy now you got no hammies. You can't rebound as good Right, so it's just gonna feel less stable and the weights up here And you're you're used to having more mass here to hold it and now you don't same with the bench You just have more girth everywhere more girthier so your range of motion changes everything's touching when you're a little thicker A little skinnier doesn't with the deadlift sometimes it's different. This all depends on how you build right often not always often lifting can Get better as you lose weight strength going down is just a part of the game once you start to find maintenance again or bulk You'll feel good. I only stopped deadlifting about three months ago It hasn't been that crazy and I was like probably 210 and now I'm 196. It was another like 12 pounds I didn't like drastically get into better position or nothing. They felt fine at 495 to 3 beltless I just wasn't thinking I was just doing triples all the way up adding a small amount of weight My favorite bench presser. Hey, what's gonna happen when you got a bench with a flat back to cheater? Yeah, this talks. It's going the talks are getting real. You're just gonna bench 85 pounds. No sumo either. They said I Don't know I don't compete, you know, we'll say that shit in powerlifting like Mike You know you can compete you don't even deadlift 800 Who cares what you say but like in regular sports who dictates that shit, right? It's like all the commentators. They're either ex-players Shaq and Charles Barkley or or they're just literally sports analysts I think you can have an opinion regardless as long as it's like an educated one You know the history of the sport the interesting thing is that part of powerlifting's growth is dictated by Technology and technique to lift more weight And so some of this is going the other way if you start to take that out Maybe that is even just a bigger way to divide the WRPF us PA crowd the not from the US APL IPF crowd, right? You just make a bigger division. We're stiff bar to our way ins flat back no sumo No, niecesly motherfuckers, and then these guys are like I'm arching to the sky We're deadlift our deadlift bars are getting longer and whip your my trends triple-dose all that so maybe that's where we're Going maybe it's you know in that I think was the cool thing about multi-ply lifting Unpopular opinion, I guess one is more a test of just brute strength and then one becomes more of a technical test I don't know I could be I could care less man. I'm just on the ride. I'm gonna try to support That's where we're going this weekend to the Bay Area Just trying to support how I can show love how I can build clothes for lifters to look good and feel good build some confidence and Community, but otherwise I'm just for the rides I mean some of it's obnoxious, but I guess if you want my real analytical take You don't need to address an issue until there's an issue And it's not like every world record holder or everyone who won US APL Nats or IPF worlds is only benching this much Right so if every single person top to bottom is only mentioned this much. All right. We need to address that. That's kind of crazy It's six o'clock the boys just woke up. So the blog starts now So welcome the whole cruise here game day and the boys. What's that big old thing doing? The deems here Welcome in today you're on Hey, this is your best dance move right now. You're in the middle of the circle at my wedding.

That's what I was hanging with him. It's all good You know 40 at the time. Oh no, no, no, no Before you got thick before interesting I get out pull up now, so it's fine for sure Right, I'll bench me. I haven't mentioned a long time because of weightlifting. So I don't know about that Mike looks so much better than I do so that's all that when it comes to like social presence looking better That's all that matters. That's all that matters Your bank account personality education none of that else matters Tim Let me get your true opinion on Mike, how do you really feel about him Mike?
