 Dude, who would have thought staying up till 3.30 filming two nights in a row would be terrible for lifting? Not me. Not me. Tell me a joke. Knock, knock. Who's there? No one. No one, who? Oh man. Breathing pause squats, 10 seconds. Learned it first from Greg Knuckles. Increased the intrapdominal pressure, torso rigidity in order to be more comfortable at the bottom position, squat five, six, seven, eight. So how do you do it? Just squat to the bottom. Yeah. Relax your diaphragm. So you forget Valsalva. Yeah, you completely forget Valsalva. I first learned it from Greg Knuckles and dude's a genius. Are his intestines still inside his body? Actually, they bled out of his mouth the other day when he was doing one of these. I think it's safe. But besides that, you'll squat 500. Yeah, and the other more important thing for a guy like me is that I had some of those SI issues. There's just forces that are torso rigidity because you basically train under a relatively heavy load. So this is like maybe 70% or whatever of an estimated one rep max, like 345. You got to get comfortable down there. Just breathing through the core, work some core muscles that don't typically get worked when you do isolation movements. But when you're doing real heavy Valsalva. All day, absolutely. Because you want those intestines on the inside. And I find actually now my beltless work, like my squat power without a belt, is only about 10, 20 pounds away from with a belt. Whereas before it used to be 50 pounds away. I just feel a lot more stable with my core. He looks stable. In an unstable world, you're on my rock. Am I your rockers? Who? Your old friend. Who? Sandy Marino? Sandy, do you know Marino? He just called me his rock. I'll call you my Johnson. If you're going to have a talk with her late tonight, like she's just going to be like, okay. So like, I know it's funny what you guys do, but seriously, you call him your rocker. It's not funny. Yeah. You just call him your rocker and you're gonna have to fucking do it. Ah, it looks so easy, dude. Come on. Is that the proper way to use that machine? This is the chill spot. The official chill spot of Ford's Fitness. Sniper tower? Ford's Fitness is I like to call when I'm here. Eat bacon? No. You don't eat bacon? I don't like bacon. I love bacon. This explains a lot. I'll hold this mic. I'll hold it longer. I'll make it the thumbnail, bro. I'll hold it longer. I'll stare into your soul. I'll make bacon in you in the thumbnail. You what? Bacon in you in the thumbnail. Bacon heavy. So you'll make bacon what? Heavy, you. Bacon, heavy, you. Can you not distract me when I'm trying to talk to someone? Bacon heavy, you. Oh. Oh. That's for you, Mike. I'm about to hit my face on that thing, bro. Bro. Bro! I call this making the dough. Scoop it up. Bring it down. Scoop up. What are you, Coach? Kindergarten or something? I'm the kindergarten cop, bro. I'm a tumor. What are you, a body pooper? This is serious. Come on, dude. This is serious. That was like a hint of Valley Girl in there. This is serious. Let's get serious. Yeah. What are you getting, Mike? Elk Boy, go. I think we're going Elk Experience. Far. You gave us a speech on post-workout red wine. Red wine. Yeah, tell me about red wine. Because red wine has a high-thermic effect, so. What does that even mean? Basically, when you drink wine, it burns calories. All right, now on a real note, what does wine do? What does wine do? It gets you drunk. Is there any in between? Is there any truth to your burning calories through wine? No, it's just the first thing after you've ingested. It's the first thing that your body pooms off. So, I did read an article a while ago that's like beer post-workout? Yeah. It was like a thing because it's a carb and same idea. Red effect? Is that true, do you think, or not? Do you think it's more of a bullshit reason that fat guys drink wine? Probably, I think post-workout isn't the best time to drink wine because it has proteins that this is. And obviously, after you work out, you want to. So, protein wine? Yeah. I've heard that's protein vodka. There's protein beer. I don't know that I would ever drink that. That sounds disgusting. What are you talking about? I know we talked about that, so my boy, shouted a doctor, or actually just Alan Aragon, I gotta say, shouted Alan Aragon. He said that to me privately. He's like, whoever events a protein beer that actually, you can't taste the protein. It just tastes like beer would dominate, but they've, you know. I'm sure it tastes gross. We should try it. Let's do a video. The science does not exist. Yeah.
