 good morning did you miss me i missed you it's uh friday i planned to vlog earlier this week but we're throwing our first competition here at third street and then i realized the last couple vlogs were shout out to y'all for showing the love on them uh have all been deadlift days and i do deadlift twice a week but i didn't want to like only show y'all deadlift so we got an upper body push day today if you want to get involved we're gonna talk a little bit of discipline i had a little tiktok i can't get anything to go viral in my life but we got a little push on tiktok and y'all y'all got really butt hurt and not like you guys because you guys are with me but like the internet got really butt hurt about it you tell one person that they're not mr disciplined tough guy and they get so hurt fragile soft man but give this thing a thumbs up bench overhead triceps we're gonna get real we're gonna chat a bit and then we're gonna set up for a meet we've got our first deadlift only competition here at third street good company let's get it 315 for the first time i've mentioned about twice a week but not really caring so sometimes i'll do dumbbells or a machine i've been going feet up because i just don't care today we're like all right effort so 315 for a couple doubles in the triple a little chest press a little triceps a little shoulder cake day we got the meat so i got to set up but i want to talk to y'all and i'm gonna go on a little ranty poo but this ranty poo isn't really for you because you guys know what i'm about but i've been trying to go on tiktok and i don't know if people are just new there and all ego'd out and now i'm not like entitled i mean i am in some senses for sure we all are but i'm not like entitled that everyone should listen to what i have to say but i do get frustrated on on short content because people don't listen to it and then and then because it's 10 seconds or whatever they can't grasp it unless they listen to the podcast so long story i posted a clip from a podcast i did with barton geo shout out to the family get close podcast brand new and we just we're going about discipline and so i talked some shit on discipline i talked some shit about these fitspose and all these people on the internet and and i've done this kind of stuff for a long time because i don't agree with like the i'm going to war mentality when you're going to the gym now it's fine to get fired up it's time to be intense passionate scream a little bit love that a little bit animalistic a little primal in the gym by all means but don't think you're a tough guy because you lift weights and the same thing goes for discipline now the other thing that you guys know but maybe they don't know is i don't have a script i don't write essays i'm not a doctor this isn't my thesis i'm speaking off the top of the dome on topics that i've spoken about for 12 years on the internet and even longer in person when i coach basketball and clients etc and my simple point was that doing something that you enjoy or that is easy is not discipline and i make some analogies around that i make like a joking one but it got cut off so it doesn't sound like a joke but i was basically getting out if you have anger issues and you allow your anger to take over your life then you're not disciplined the other point of the long talk of discipline is that some things can take discipline that doesn't mean you are disciplined i can eat a healthy food i can have a salad one salad doesn't mean i am now health you have to do that on a regular consistent basis so these people's point was oh i i love the gym but some days i don't want to go every once in a while i wake up and i don't want to go but i make myself go i'm super disciplined bitch you ain't you ain't you love going to the gym it's a privilege to go to the gym this is man-made made-up exercise because we don't have to hunt buffalo no more and you went one time on a rainy day where you didn't feel like squatting and you squatted and now you want to pat yourself on the back like you're some hero come on man discipline in your financials discipline in your relationships discipline in your in your self-awareness and your growth of who you are yeah working out isn't easy for everyone that's another point is i specifically said in the clip a you motherfuckers with barbell tattoos saying that you're disciplined from the gym you get a barbell tattoo that thing's about you're about it right i didn't mean everyone because going to the gym for many folks is very difficult and that's why i also preach that lifting weights doesn't have to be for everyone you can bike ride you can swim you can play basketball you can play soccer find an activity you do enjoy or hate less and do that i'm just about movement i'm about health i'm about longevity consistency over the long term if you hate squatting don't squat i'm not squatting right now i don't hate it i just don't want to squat so i'm not squatting so i'm deadlifting i'm benching i'm you know doing chin-ups i'm doing i'm riding my bike long story short these guys have no clue and then when i kind of clap back at them they literally say well i must not understand what you mean yeah you don't because you guys watch one tiktok clip and thought about discipline for the first time in your life i think about discipline every day how i can how i can get better myself how i can help others find routine and consistency and build that discipline how we can choose our and use our willpower in different areas of our life and how we can find that balance and find the joy in the process as we talked about in the last video it's not easy and i don't have the answers but i do speak my mind because i thought about things now i haven't written it out like a thesis so maybe sometimes i misspeak and i've definitely been wrong not many but i've been wrong long story short man i'm not the most disciplined person in the world i struggle with food a lot but working out to easy man i talked about the last one when it's not easy i do take off but that doesn't also mean just because i skipped a workout because i didn't want to work out that i'm all of a sudden not disciplined you eat salads every single day one day you have a cookie and all of a sudden you're not disciplined it doesn't work that way do stop tying your ego and your identity identity to one thing the barbell being lean being strong if i did that i'd be done man i've been dead lifted 700 pounds in four years my identity would be done man i'm a human i'm a son i'm a friend i think i have a kind heart i think i can be fun to be around i struggle with negativity so i try to spread positivity that's who i am i'm like farman that's it i appreciate you guys new video every single tuesday man give it a thumbs up subscribe we'll catch you in the next one then
