 So what's up guys we're here with my buddy Anthony from the 21 convention probably recognizing for some of the videos we've done together and stuff and he's gonna actually introduce me to Jay Vincent where you saw that video that I did called one set to failure so I was looking for a partner so I'm gonna do this with and Anthony not only happens to live pretty close by he's got the machine that was built to do his kind of workouts so you're just joining us here today while we get our pump on using the R8 how do you say that RTA trainer it's a creek for excellence spiritual excellence really yeah Jack Donovan actually loves the word he uses in his books a lot I didn't realize that that's what I mean what I'm doing here is picking the positions okay and me and you're a similar height so I'm trying to adjust it to fit both of us yeah oh yeah there you go 1.26 yep 1.30 keep it above 1.30 yep get it up up up up there you go bro that's it 1.40 1.50 nice 3.45 on the max yeah I think so let's say per rep try to pick your good position keep it yeah I can't forget what's right yeah it's something I'm gonna stay here yeah and the resistance is still changing not only per millimeter before rep because you're a little bit weaker each time the changes the resistance oh yeah thank you two sets down ten reps total I'm dead wow Not only because you're getting weaker as you go throughout it, but it's adaptive, so it's all based on you You know whether you use it, Alyssa uses it, I use it, Grandma uses it, it doesn't matter. It's always custom-proof, like pull a millimeter on it It's amazing. It's what Arthur and the Xenon met. They were all into the cams and all that shit, right? This is like a motorized version of that. Yeah, it makes it perfect. Totally different level. Jello. I just haven't been able to produce the same Intensity I hold by myself. I looked in a truck, right? Huh? I looked in that truck or something. Yeah, that's right. Yeah, let's do that truck at the show But uh, yeah, it's hard to do this at waist man. It can be dangerous too, right? Barbells and shit. Yeah Dumbbells are cool, but then it's not as heavy. Right. Wow So in this one again, there's no seatbelt yet. So what you got to do is these handles are forks Okay, and you do the overhand grip and you just hold on to it Jack Donovan did this and he was so strong it was like jumping out of the seat. His legs were like fucking tree trunks What happened? Jack Donovan was doing this. Yeah, you just kind of slide up. I don't know. I don't ever slide up Okay, but my legs are this leg is fucked So I'm still going to do it, but the numbers are going to be not that great. Okay But you'll do it in the killer. Anyway, regardless of whether you're weak or strong You just hold on to these handles Not these these because it keeps your ass down Otherwise you like can scoot up I think it's the best life press I've ever used Yeah Pushing the full so far it's hardly a matter of work, but the push is full If you do want an overhand grip on this too I'm gonna make some of this esport drink It's like carbs What else? He made it He invented it. Yeah, you're trying to throw your workout What is it? It's got simple triggers more complex as well for fast and slow release in the body for the glycogen stores As well as protein and amino acids for same fast and slow release So it's perfect. And then all the electrons and minerals that trace minerals. So perfect. It's called in-sport recovery Do you want some? No I'm gonna take a little bit before I do this because I want to Yeah I won't kill it This one's uncast out man hard. What are the ball up and shit? Uh, it snaps and then yep, it balled up same with both biceps. Yeah. Yeah, I've destroyed myself over the years You guys started your hand at Achilles? All of them Yeah From you know Doing the kind of lifting I've always done. This is very different. Apparently this is uh less injury You're less injury prone as a result. This guy's oldest amount. He wrote these uh biomechanics books He had a lot of injuries too and he got him really interested in biomechanics Torn bicep tendon. Yeah, bicep tendon And he was training slow joint friendly fitness. Yeah, he's a speaker too back in the day bill This one right there. He's a good buddy of dogs and shit The injuries happen then. I mean he does the home research and like people die and shit People die for what? He's training? Yeah, for dexins, barbell, you know, look at me doing a squat alone No fucking stops on the Smith machine. They get crushed, you know, shit like that So he's big until he gets understanding how to use free weights instead of foot Without killing yourself Yeah Yeah, and but like you know, I think I injured was he got interested in the bicep and the tricep He tore both within like five years. Oh my god. Yeah The only thing I've had is just any other football twisted shit out of it I can tell you've been packing on a little bit more muscle though. Thanks over the past two years How much weight have you gained? Probably like five some pounds five seven pounds. Yeah doing this Well, I've got this for a few months, but just you know, it's so much same to my doctor's modelist Yeah, when did you get this? I got this uh, September We just say that it's Of course it's more convenient having it in your home. Yeah, but it has it up to your intensity I think I'm a little stronger since using it. Yeah Just an equipment change. Mm-hmm because I think at minimum it's producing you're doing more force Even than anything else you're going to do. You're always going to get a little bit more force on this, right? Yeah, and I love that I can see it Even just you know, giving you a little encouragement. I I see you pushing a little bit harder the same thing when you're telling me Yeah, so it's like it's not a matter of like a subjective Effort it's very objective. It's like, hey, did you hit 300 did you hit 400? And you can see it per ruptured, right? Yeah Man, I'm sure that's a bigger one. Yeah, because you had 2,418 pounds of force That's crazy. I've never seen that on a machine. How you feel? Spring chicken Like if I get up and we fall down I mean, I don't think I've ever produced that amount of force with Even a heavy squat. I think it was good that he was beyond exhausted Yeah Nothing about negative movements the eccentric is that they do a shit ton of micro trauma Yeah, because you when you do a positive you bring them together The negative you're ripping on the part and you're just we're doing nothing but that basically So it's just constant ripping and they're a lot stronger too because they're locked See, I love this shit, man I think negative training is one of the best things you can do on it because it's so unique how else you do it All right, it's a huge pain in the ass. I would keep doing it like this Yeah, if I were uh to continue and then just try to Meet a minimum on the concentric. Yeah, like I realized like I could totally slack off Or just try to keep you know like a hundred pounds Pressure. I used to call it a mellowed one. I call it negative emphasized because we're doing so much negative and only a little bit Yeah Like jelly You know what I noticed as well that I wasn't so sure when Jay was telling me that unilateral exercise won't help create or fix muscular balances left to right But I can't help but to feel that my weaker side Is working harder With these exercises as opposed to when I'm using a barbell my stronger side Is doing most of the work Yeah Right, this is working hard. It looks the same, but it's not But because the machine moves on its own it doesn't matter. Yeah, if you did that with like a med a nautilus or medics Your fucking other leg would push it forward So the barbell or barbell it would just come up on evenly. Yeah, probably unperceptible to the eye Well, look if somebody's slacking off you've seen that this one. Yeah Should like that. Yeah Anyway, so this is uh the laying position out like this one too a lot and then uh, this is here So in case you bump your head into it, you should not be putting any serious amount of force into it It's more like bumping into your head The edge should really be going like here and this is just kind of getting in and out The seatball is needed on this one. It does work fun and we're gonna do We'll do pull down first and then we'll do a great press last a little uh humbling is that like With lifting weights. I'm like overcoming A physical force of resistance. It's moving the weight. This here totally because it's like no matter how much I work It looks like the same as Anyone else? Anyone else. Yeah, it's just it's always gonna win It's just the number. Yeah, and that's actually more precise than you know, the weight. Yeah the way it looks But it's definitely humbling. I mean even think about like one rep max, right? Somebody's a one rep max on a barbell bench say 350. Is that really the max right? Not probably like 354 or some shit, but they can't do it because it's just too tweaky and You know, plus you get the bottom that sticking point. Yeah, what are you gonna bounce it? You know, all the shit you got spotter. It's like this is always precision Cardio too Like my heart right it's through the roof right now I'm shaking. The doctor calls it global metabolic conditioning Because we're just going through set set set set set. You've been on something a couple reps and yeah, your heart's going Hope you can time. Yeah And that's even with me Being your brick and block. I train you train. I train you train by yourself. It's just not stop Unless you take a break, but why? So, uh It's still working. I heard pieces falling off. Yeah I think it's all right Brandon didn't look at it and he fixed it up anyway. It works on the computer and shit I think it's just the amount of force you put on the light press. I've never seen that It should be good. So The seat belt should I mean it's fit for me. We should bury for you. Okay Find some broken pieces Okay, I'm just using my the same muscles that I did with the seated one. Okay, like my biceps and forearms A little bit a little bit less Damn, I can adjust the angle handle if you want. Yeah, I could do that Look at this one Is that that? Oh, you want it like that? Go out one more. Thanks, man Like just that like that That's the best thing good for you right there. Okay, I'll take it. Yeah, it's always got it like that You can pick what you want to do. That's awesome. Damn Yeah, I got that a lot of stuff. I like the wider grip It takes it off of my arms and more of my arm pits last one here Everything got it. I'm good Especially being the second pull exercise You ever consider using straps? Yeah, I got those right here. Oh nice. Yeah, I got one. I mean like wrist straps Oh, yeah, so I'm not pulling with my hands. Yeah, it's the last Nice Then I can just dry the elbows in Yeah, you can even do uh, how to pull over You like fucking these giant pads you can put on your elbows I used to do them all and you could do that then like a pull up a pullover Those are good. Those are really good So do I'm very pressing out. Okay. Good same thing Uh for this here is you could do like a six one Basically when I sit you when I lay you down on it, we'll pick what okay Like this I think on this one. Thanks Do you anything for the abdominals? You can do abs on it. Do you? You can if you guys have an ab crunch on it Um, I haven't done it I'm not too worried about it between the row and the pull down your abs are kind of engaging Yeah, so you could but I don't think you need to all right big five. Yeah big five simple But so you don't even do any like isolate some bicep work Not on here. Try it's not needed. Yeah, I'm dying. Yeah Well, if I'm gonna do that on these dumbbells, I had like um, selectorized ones power uh weak power blocks Sure. Yeah picture like that dumbbells, but it says a big five. Yeah It's simple. I'm gonna stop it felt to get weird like shaky. Yeah something This is not the shaky. He's not that's normal. Uh something in it No, man. I broke your toy. Yeah Sorry about that. That's all right, man. That's good. I mean that that's gonna he needs to know That'll help him perfect Yeah Now we'll call we'll call for today. I'm sorry about that. Yeah, what were you experiencing? Something just didn't feel smooth on the way up. Yeah, even though I was using it, you know, normally to the shirt I don't know. I'd rather not mess with it. Yeah Everything else worked fine. I don't know anything go wrong with it. I'm using it. Feel bad. I broke your machine. I love it, man Yeah All right, this is an overhead press. I mean, so what you just did except pushing instead pulling No, it'll give you done too. Yeah But uh, so he's gonna come and fix it for you anyway, huh? Yeah, he's gonna take you to do the drives down from Wisconsin himself Really? He picks it up and it shows suburban SUV Yeah, is he a driver home? That's a guy to the convention too. Well, he was already here. He would drive me down and then he was at the convention He just drives. He hates flying. So he's drives. Oh, well, plus he could just throw this in his trailer or whatever The suburban truck suburban suburban. That's crazy because it all comes apart. It's designed to be skinny. Everything's under 30 inches to fit in doorways So even the final one too, when he The aluminum one it's the same thing but aluminum it'll ship by ups and fedex It's like just under the limit of what they'll ship. Is it ready for that yet? He's not ready to shift them Plus Because I want to hit him up and get one. Yeah A little bit commercial model too. He calls it a pro model that's a little bit different A little more like a bigger screen and it'll have a A mechanism in it that changed the speed. So this one's a set speed Oh, okay. The rest speed is what it is But on the new one, or the more advanced one anyway, it looks like golf shops and shit It'll have a knob on it. You can set the speed And that'll you know change the fasteners Which adds a whole new element of now repetition speed to sorority. Right. Yeah, slow it down speed it up More time on attention. I mean in that one my old one had that too It was a pain in the ass to get to the knob because it was like old model. You could do it. You could do Oh, these are the second generation Uh, you had an older one. He's bought a lot of these actually Mine was called arcs fit on me. It's a company called arcs fit. He used to operate a different company Arte is a new one But anyway the old one you could set it so fucking slow you could do one rep because it was like 60 seconds each way So you had a fucking two minute rep. It was just I'm a way out. This is pretty slow, but it ain't like super slow. Yeah But you can speed it up too. I mean you can make it go faster. Yeah, you could do like a 10 10 This was probably like 20 something close to it. Yeah, you know the long reps. Yeah, but you could do faster, you know I liked it though. Yeah, that's a good time Good timing. I think it's the future man. I mean, you know, I love dumbbells and barbells Same year body weight There's a million ways that can work out your muscles are super responsive to to anything But this is like high-tech Even with the heaviest weights, I mean you you followed me when I got back into strongman and I'm throwing You know 300 pounds over my head and stuff. Yeah pound stones I was nowhere near as sore Then when I did that work out with jay the other day, yeah, I would just do one set Yeah, I was to the touch they were weak So I'm curious to know this makes you feel tomorrow my next 24 to 40 hours Yeah, I already feel it. Yeah, and so one workout a week, you know, it's kind of mind-boggling to me One workout week. I'm a 34 day a week, but I can see why and this is my first. I actually spent 10 days From my last workout because normally I do like Friday or Thursday um But I was waiting to meet you here and I was just thinking like wow, that was actually Just like today. I'm just starting to feel like I need to work out But like all throughout last week. I was like, I'm still a little sore. I'm still from the previous work So I'm going to keep trying this out. I keep keep going with it for the next couple months and I know it's going to build a ton of freaking muscle in my body. I can feel it already Thank you for introducing me to uh jay and for Opening my mind to a lot of new things but you know to think that my Career is in fitness and I this is my first time doing this. So yeah, it's mind-blowing to me as well It's very controversial to encounter to you know less volume higher intensity one rep to fit once in failure You know motors and shit on this kind of stuff Jay loves this too. I mean the first time he tried it. He was here when they brought it in And he got to try the first day and she said holy shit the same time. It's his first time, huh? Yeah I have the previous models, but even those are different They're much more the minute you go from like fixed arm to this kind of thing It's completely different pushing more pulling it changes it. Yeah exactly why but is it different? Well, I would imagine just like with a dumbbell because it's sort of like free Yeah, maybe using more stabilizers That is that actually that is what it feels like yeah, especially on the pushing the pulling is more similar But the pushing is way different because you got to really stabilize it. Otherwise you'd be shaken because you're putting out so much force So that's fucking cool, man. Awesome. Well, thanks for having me over today. Yeah, what do you got planned? We're gonna go socks house Yeah, we'll be able to make it my kids got I'm gonna bring her a little pig Nice. Oh, that's cute. Peminist pig She already got the bear. So uh the cancer bear. That's right. If feminism is canceling your little pig Oh my hang out there. Cool, man. That sounds great, bro Yeah, uh, so next week I'm doing it Uh, maybe let me hit a brand new. Yeah, no pressure Whatever you're free or I'll just let's just uh stay in touch. So because if we're not gonna do it, then I'll do I can take you to the gym as well. I go to medics and models. It's about 20 minutes away between me and you It's similar to this, you know, but just select our ice machines Yeah, anything to kind of break up the modality as well. Yeah, this was a big change big shift Hey, thanks you guys for hanging out with me as I explore and try new things in the realm of Getting jacked getting strong and being a beast in this Soft world. All right. This is just another expression of being getting stronger, right? Use that body pump that testosterone be a beast Until next time Done. How can it stuff all the 150 yards of this thing with that red dot? Who did you buy that from? Uh, palmetto state armory psa in south carolina. So it's made in america. You went there or had it mailed? They stripped it. Yeah, how much was it? 749 got a difference. Yeah, I love them And since it's an ak it's like, you know, it'll just fucking shoot forever You know, it doesn't matter. I made it the way it's designed. They just fucking shoot shoot shoot shoot Mud fucking dirt snow whatever is that why you decided to get a ak I was like doing something different like and everybody's in the ar right my brain's immediate like now. I gotta do something else But it's also they're both really popular. Yeah, the round is more powerful. It doesn't go as far I just know that a lot of a lot of like, you know Apocalypse top-minded people are like if there's a Land invasion if there's russian or even u.n troops. Yeah, that's usually what they'll use. Yeah, americans usually use ars the rest of the world is okay, so If you know how to pick one up and use it or have the ammo if there's ammo for it So it's definitely a good thing to have that good move
