 Ladies and gentlemen, the moment you've all been waiting for, the Kaizen Shaco collaboration is live right now. We have two programs, one I believe is 26 weeks, the other one is 30 weeks. We're talking huge macro cycles here. One is a little bit more competitive, if you plan to compete, it'll bring you up into a peak, into a test week in the gym, and then reset and get you ready for smashing PRs on the platform. The other one's more of kind of an off season type of programming that's three blocks of 10 weeks. They're great for anybody that's kind of in this intermediate stage. If you feel you need a little bit of competitive edge, you want to follow a long term program and you want to follow one of the best coaches of all time in strength, sports. It is available right now, and it is available for pre-sell. So grab it now, discounted price, and you also get this exclusive shirt from Kaizen and Shaco. Check it out. Link in the description below. Enjoy the video. I guess to wrap it up, what does strength and powerlifting mean to you? And who should powerlift? And why should people have a part of strength in their life? For me, strength without knowledge is not strength. Strength without technique is not strength. The brute force, the loader who grabbed the bag and went shuffling from the vodka as he got, is the brute force. So for him, the knowledge or strength without knowledge is not strength. Strength without technique is not strength. The strength of just as rude strength is just the strength of someone who is like a dock loader and just picks up bales of something and throws it somewhere, that's not strength to him. I want to say that it's not a secret that every coach, who has a lot of athletes, there are athletes who are, I can say, stupid and don't want to know anything, but they are very smart and it's hard to work with them and with them. Working with intelligent athletes and not intelligent athletes is a challenge both ways. Working with intelligent athletes, thinkers, you have to make sure that you're able to answer their questions because if you are not able to answer their questions, they lose trust in you and you have to stay always one step ahead of their knowledge. But the good news is that you can trust them to be reasonable and make good decisions. On the other hand, if you have less intelligent athletes, training them is the easiest thing in the world when you're around. You simply push over a plan to them, they do the plan. That's it. However, when you're not around, for example, if you're with another athlete or another championship and they're stayed by to train off season or if you're like Professor Shaco is right now with a set of seminars, then you're not around and you've written things down and the program changes, they don't feel so good, something happens. You can't be sure that they're going to adjust the plan properly. As a matter of fact, you know pretty well that they're not going to adjust the plan properly. I see that when the coaches stand up and say, I know everything, I don't need to learn anything. I don't need to learn anything. I know everything without you. I think that such a coach won't achieve much because I've been in the sport for 40 years and I still watch every day who is something, sometimes a young coach. You'll see such an amazing thing, as they say, that you rather have to go to the gym and try it, try it, if it really works well. I definitely use it and put it into the program. So, you know, it really bothers me when coaches say, well, you know, I know everything already, you know, nothing to teach me because I've been in this game for 40 years and every day I learn something new and a lot of times it's from younger coaches. Younger coach will say something or write something or post something online and my first response or his first response is to go, wow, I wonder if that works and just rush to the gym as soon as possible to try the new technique or the new strategy to see if it works so always a good idea to keep learning. Appreciate it, Tom. Thank you very much for the information, the knowledge, the years he's put into the industry. He's done a lot for lifting. I've looked up to him in his style of training for a very long time and many lifters in the U.S. and around the world are grateful for his work and his knowledge. I hope that there's still a lot to be done in the future. He said that, you know, hopefully in the future there's much more, you know, sort of like, thank you for what you said, but there's much more to be done in the future to improve the sport, push it along. So it's like something that, you know, potentially we could look forward to is a coach-education program by Shayko himself, then individuals, it's great that we're making these programs and releasing them to people, but maybe the next step is to have Shayko directly coach-coaches that could then take their new Shayko abilities and help other people with them. Yeah, it sounds great. So he's like, you know, something like this would take probably a week, so it would be like a Shayko week-long seminar because he says that there's a lot of seminars and even he's done them himself where, you know, after like a day or something you get a certificate like Shayko certified, but he says that's a little bit illusory and that's better. It would be a more intensive effort for coach-education to make sure people really learn the deeper principles behind the work. And Dr. Shayko also wants to thank you as well and your team for giving them the opportunity to bring his training methods to American athletes and the American public. That's all. Thank you and we hope to represent him well and spread his knowledge. Thanks Dr. Mike for spending the week with us, helping us out. Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Professor Boris Shayko, his knowledge, we'll catch you later. Hopefully you all enjoyed this series of videos from Mr. Shayko. The quick interview, getting some tidbits. If you want more of that information, we have tons hours of exercise and interview with the Kaizen program, but I think it was a good way to mention, you know, to summarize kind of what he said is just continue learning. I think a lot of us, me myself and I have gone through this process where I became a trainer or got into strength training when I was 18, 19 years old and by 21, 22 I felt like I had it all under control. I knew what I was doing. I didn't need to read any more articles or watch any more videos. And then maybe I'd stumble upon a video, you know, every six months or something that made me rethink like, man, I don't know jack shit and then I would continue to learn. So I think you kind of go through this phase as a beginner where you feel like you're comfortable and you know what's going on and you begin to learn and get hungry and then you get too comfortable and you stop the learning process. And as he kind of mentioned, what strength and powerlifting is, is you're always trying to be one step ahead of your clients and you're always trying to learn. And that's what Kaizen means, continuous improvement, always focusing on progress, always trying to get better. So I couldn't agree more. Our time with him was awesome. I learned a bunch and hopefully you guys can share some of that information. But so from here, from other coaches, from other programs, from other videos and YouTube, just always continue learning, always trying to lift everybody up. We're all trying to get stronger together. I appreciate you guys. Be sure to check out the other Shaco videos there a couple of weeks back. We'll put them in a little playlist here on the channel. I appreciate you guys. Subscribe, thumbs up, we're out of here.
