Yeah, Nadim. How much how much how many me? Hamedi Hamedi Huh me D. D. There you go. Hamedi Today we're gonna cover a couple topics be sure to give this thing thumbs up new videos every Monday and Thursday check out Nads He's doing a little bit of fitness, but a lot of cooking and I know how fat you all are watching Yeah, and if you want yumminess go to his channel Nadim Hamedi Just one ha ha maybe maybe. Yeah, ha meaty Hamedi Like your bro. All right, so So basically you guys are probably noticed on Instagram things have been going viral Which I didn't know I've been going viral for a long time since Nadim told me but My man, I believe his name is Miles and he's out in Maine. I think we're Maryland Don't miss quote me, but he trains at my guy Brian all rules Jim strongman youtuber really cool guy. I've known Brian for a long time And miles has cerebral palsy, which is a disease that basically controls your central nervous system makes your bodily Muscles everything firing a little bit more difficult or a lot of it more difficult Bementally, they're all there and recently he pulled 200 pounds. I think and he weighs 99 It's absolutely insane and this literally goes back to almost every video I've ever done forever talking about how powerlifting is literally for everyone and and that the the potential for someone to Participate in in either the hobby or compete whatever how far you want to take it Can teach so many lessons and this guy's going absolutely viral miles Which is a crazy feet pulling 200 pounds or pulling a double body weight is a good feat for anybody doing strength Let alone if you have these issues like if you're just a regular person You're not pulling double body weight. No, no, no, it takes time And so let alone the time that he took which is what actually impresses me because we're in this game This fitness game. So when I see that video everyone thinks man cerebral palsy 200 pounds. That's so heavy But to me it's like oh man cerebral palsy 200 pounds. I know this dude put in reps Yeah, this dude's been doing it for months and years weeks after week And it's not taking time off and that's what really impresses me It's not like he just came in pulled and then everyone fire like right been training with them They've been doing this and that's like it's cool to see the the results from man saying that like like because we're watching the video They literally talk about how treat them just like a regular person. Yeah, it's dope and like we're just losing like comedian Yeah, Tom Segura and he's like to stop patronizing people with disabilities You know like the regular people they want to be treated like for sure for sure and you can really show I see that that's what they do here. Yeah, and it's so impressive to me because my body's Full functioning I guess and for me to know the frustrations and the mental Strength that I've needed to power lift for ten years going through injuries or plateaus or showing up on days I don't want to show up and all these things and miles His his his difficulty ladder is much more difficult than mine and the frustrations He must have had and he's competed in a full power lifting me Which is actually even more impressive to me than a double double body weight deadlift Which is also it's a but competing in a full power lifting me training all three lifts when your body His mind's telling his body to do shit and it won't do it Yeah, no, we all go through that right because otherwise we all be in the NBA if our body did exactly what our brain told us Right there Mike go dunk. I mean, I probably make it on about you. No, I'd make it really. Yeah. Yeah Yeah, I don't know about that, but oh, I'd be there Yeah, if we could tell our body do exactly what we're gonna do We're just better at it. It's herbal palsy stops that connection. And so the frustration must be absolutely insane But this kid's an absolute he seems happy every video. I've seen it just like super idiot I'm a hundred percent sure he has days that you just like fuck it, you know for sure But I think like him being who he is and like dealing with this It's like you got to be strong and if if you're gonna be strong and just function through daily life with cerebral palsy That's already a strength of itself Yeah, so maybe above and beyond to do power lifting imagine the stuff that he has to go through but Him being him plus having the team around him. That's like, yo, we're in it with you Yeah, it does help to have a team and that's something obviously mean to the ima been friends for a long time because of the Jim Barbara gate, which is basically a team Having a community having like-minded people with power lifting As a hobby as a sport however you want to take it is so incredibly life-changing if you allow it to be It's not just lifting. It's not how much you can lift It's it's the community you can build. It's the discipline you can build It's the mental strength you can build and the character you can build for showing up on days You don't want to show up. I definitely I've made a lot of the gains in life through lifting You know, there's definitely a lot of people that take advantage of it and just try to be cool They try to like make money off you they try to do all these different things But then there's the people that just really like it for what it can give you Yeah, for sure And there's so many things behind the scenes like you said like yeah Like even you guys comment below when you Mike are we gonna see you lifting in like trust me I'm lifting and I lift every day, but I don't always just lift to hit a PR to put it on Instagram for you guys to like the video I lift every day to get me in the right mental state. I lift every day as my meditation. I plug in my music I get my reps in to feel physically and mentally better and it's incredibly Cool for me to see that hopefully this sport the sport that I've loved And what I believe in a in a way my religion fitness being my religion movement being my religion movement Allowing you to have a better life that that Miles and his crew and shout to my I think his trainer's names Nick and my boy Brian For showing this guy the way. Yeah, I mean it'd be really cool to see what comes up after this because now there's a whole Like millions of people that have problems are not say problems But like disabilities that now they might be inspired to do something they might try to go above and beyond and now That just opens up a whole new place for them to be like hey I can go and like we always like everyone always has people like sale of my cajota for basketball any Person for any sport or business or whatever, but it's like there hasn't really been anyone with That for power lifting out I don't think for like cerebral palsy. Yeah. Yeah, I think it happens for each You know hurdle that someone may have you know, there's been a couple guys You know that our amputees that's our power lifting a couple what years ago and you see it on Instagram I'm like down the full is dead lifting with one leg or down You know that dudes that dudes deadlifting with a strap in one arm like fuck anybody can do it And then you see more and more the best description with what you got You know like if you got something that's hindering you from doing something like you shouldn't let that into your mindset You know for sure for sure treat it as it is and like know that that's what you got and you got to go like move forward Otherwise, we're moving backwards 100% so hopefully you guys take a note here from miles man You play with the what what what the world gives you and make kind of the best of it And it's incredibly inspiring to me I don't really get shook up by a lot because I've seen a lot of really cool things in my life But I was watching some of his YouTube videos not necessarily that deadlift video that just went viral But a bunch of his YouTube videos of him having fun in the gym and I'm getting goosebumps like he's laughing He's smiling. Yeah, he's squatting a barbell, which is absolutely insane to me So check him out check out Brian be sure to check out Nadine Keep pushing yourselves, you know, whether you want to step on the platform break a world record or if you just want to get better For yourself power to you and know that we're all kind of in this thing together and the iron is something that that that really Makes it's the forever equalizer. Yeah, definitely, you know what I mean? It makes us all the same It doesn't really care what what color you are what what you were born with what kind of money you have All it knows is hard work and all it knows is pounds. Oh Bye
