What's the... Lumbersexual. What's the nose thing that holds the glasses? Oh, you like this? What's that called? Yeah, so it's like an Easter Island statue. You really didn't know that? Easter Island? No. Damn. Those massive heads. So many megalithic structures. I feel like Adam needs to know because he's just going to get manipulated by the powers. Run shit. I know, right? Like they control the world. Bro, look right here. See this? This is actually what's happening. That's literally the portrayal of behind the scenes power. You don't know the risks I'm taking by wearing this shirt right now, but I feel like it's my responsibility to let everybody know. Yeah. Because now they're going to follow you and get through all your stuff. And that's what's happening. The lizard people and the aliens are working together. You know who's controlling the whole thing? Illuminati. Yeah, definitely. And then they're just playing chess with us. Illuminati's at the top, right? And so now the lizard guy and then the alien, they're like, hey, let's move you guys like ponds. And we're just... It makes... Dude, it says it all, right? I mean, it's for 100%. Maybe my favorite shirt you wore. It's so wild, dude. I love it. I haven't been a fan of all of them. I love that one. Now, are you getting them all from the same place? Or do you have random places? No, random places. Yeah, Jessica will go on and she'll be like, this is funny and she'll order it and then I'll see it and be like, oh my god, I gotta wear that. Yeah. Yeah, it's a good time. It makes sense, you know, for now. Dude, and you look very lean, by the way. So you look like you're here to fuck. You look like you're lean as hell. And it's not just me. It's not just me that's thinking this. Okay, so here's the deal, right? Wait a minute. So the show has been doing well on YouTube now for a little while. We've had the podcast forever. Well, to be honest, your hair is taking quite an upgrade. It's nice. Okay, so here's the deal. So here's the deal, right? So podcast has been, we kill everybody in podcast. Nobody comes close. But YouTube recently... Oh yeah, we slay. Super humble guys, too, by the way. It's just a fact, right? Slay. I'm just reporting the facts. YouTube only recently have really paid attention to it and just started to grow, right? Yeah. Now the comments on YouTube, harsh. They can be very harsh. They are. They started... It's weak. They started, okay? They started by saying things like, oh, three dudes are out of shape telling me how to work out, right? Yeah. You know what comments I'm saying now? Wow. Three roided out dudes talking about health and fitness. Oh, dude. Yeah, we've crossed over. We're just, yes. We're killing it. You got to love... That's the best comment. You got to love the YouTube extreme, roiders. Yeah, we're either fatter on roids. Can't just be like healthy dudes, right? Can't just be healthy and have muscles. That's not the case. I did the wrong steroids. They're getting fatter. Wow. No, I saw that today and I was like, oh, man. Speaking of YouTube though, I got to bring it up. It is nice. So as of this podcast recording, so this is live already now. If you haven't gone over to our other YouTube channel, Mind Pump TV. That's where we have all the exercises. Yeah, and so something we're starting to play with. So if you're listening to this for the first time, even if you're listening on the podcast, appreciate any sort of support in this direction to let us know if this is an area we should put some time, effort and money. Because it's not cheap to do this, but I think this may be something we start doing in the future, which is... Welcome back to Mind Pump TV. I'm your host, Serene Wilkin. I'm taking you guys through another home workout today to grow your glutes. You'll complete 15 to 20 reps of each exercise and repeat the sequence up to four times. Let's begin. This follow along style workout. So Serene is leading... We're actually training you through the video. Yeah, that's right. Eli's got all kinds of great edits to where it's got a timer on there, shows you a progress bar to how far through the workout. So those people that have TVs in their at-home gyms or have an iPad, they could shoot it up and they want to follow along a workout or in your living room. Serene is going to start doing some of these and if it gets enough traction, we may put some time and effort. Now to be completely transparent, it's very expensive for us to do that. It's all free content. We're doing it anyways. But if it gets enough good feedback, it might be something that would continue. Then we'll do it. Speaking of Serene, you guys look... You look super cool. I hired her to train my boy. I heard you say that. Now I know... Strategic. Strategic. He's going to listen a little bit. Well, that's the thing. Okay, so you guys have all tried to train your girls or your wives, right? It's very hard. Because you're not their trainer, you're their boyfriend or their husband and they don't want to listen or whatever. I've had this happen when I've trained other family members too, right? Training my kids, it's like either I'm making them do it and then I'm developing a bad relationship with exercise or... Right, right. So I knew if I hired somebody, so I'm hiring somebody, he's more likely to listen, be polite. Plus, she's a female, so he's not going to feel like he needs to whatever, show off or whatever. And I think he's going to do a good job. And she's an excellent trainer. She's an amazing trainer. You think he's not going to train and show off? Well... Are we just going to ignore the fact that she's attractive too? You just skipped over all her actions. Well that's good. She's smart, she's a good trainer and she's hot. Let's be honest. Teenage, a teenager. You'll pay attention. Yeah, exactly. I think he'll pay attention. Jack, can I work out every day? Yeah. Calm down, son. Two days a week for now. I'm really into this fitness thing now. No, but today's his first day, so I'm excited, man. Oh, that's great, man. Now Doug, you had already hired her, right? Yes. How long has she been training right now? About two months. Brianna's been going with her. Okay, she's just such a good... She's a great trainer. Yeah, she's awesome. Have you seen her training? Yeah, I have. I have. She's a really good trainer. I originally thought I was like... I saw her the first couple of times. I was like, oh, that's really sweet that she's doing that. Like, but then I started seeing her doing more. I'm like, damn. Doug, are you paying her? And then Doug's like, yeah, of course I'm paying her. I'm like, oh. I thought she was just going out of her way every day. I was like, that was really nice. That was really detailed. She really spent some time there. Yeah, that's... I mean, there's a difference, right? So it's so funny, right? Even trainers, all trainers are like this. There's paid helping you, and there's helping you just being nice helping you. Right. Oh, you need workout help? Yeah. Here's a sheet. Oh, what are you working on today? Yeah, here, do this. Here's an exercise. Versus putting your professional hat on and really going to town. Of course. But she does a good job, and I'm excited because my kid is like, he's such a math science computer dude that if I don't do structured something with him, he'll just live on that fucker all day long. Yeah. So I'm like, no, dude, you need to... So update us on this experience. So this book launch so far. How's it going so far? Is the fame getting to your head yet? Do you feel... I'm seeing all kinds of tags with the book and people receiving them now. So it looks like there's a bit of a hype machine going on. Yeah, it seems to be doing all right. So on Amazon, I'm tracking how it ranks on Amazon. And so with Amazon, you have big categories, like all of health, right? All of health has a massive category, which includes self-help books, psychological health, nutrition. Some of the biggest sellers of all time are in that category. Like Mark Manson's book is in there as well, right? And then under that, there's smaller categories. So a subcategory, which is still big, but not nearly as big, is exercise and fitness. And then you get small categories like stretching, quick workouts, weight training, whatever. So in the small categories, it's ranked number one in new releases, and even in best sellers. In the larger... Exercise and fitness, it's like top... I think it's in top 20 for best sellers. I think it's definitely... I think it's two, one or two for exercise and fitness for new releases. And then health, it's ranking... It's not ranking in best sellers yet, because that's just... But in new releases, it's doing pretty well. It's like top... So I'm a little disappointed in you. Oh, man. I thought for sure... What did I do? I thought for sure by now I would have received a picture of it in Barnes & Noble from you, and you would have gone down. I haven't gone in yet. I can't believe that. I'm a little ashamed of you. Why? Why is that? Well, I mean, you're ashamed of me. Oh, my God. Let's start crying. Come on, man. I feel like I would. I mean, if my book was in Barnes & Noble... He wants you to go celebrity, he'd be like, yeah. Yeah. I mean, even if you... Okay, let me back. I've had people send me pictures like friends and family. Yeah, I mean, I didn't expect you to go take a picture of it and post it online. That's not your style. But I thought you would post to us, like privately. I thought for sure by now. At least I would have. I would have went down there, saw it, took a picture of it, sent it to you guys and be like, hey, this is a cool moment right now. Hey, this is a cool moment. It's a cool moment in the business. I mean, everybody and Doug can attest to this, right? Because you and Doug both have done the online marketing courses way back when and stuff like that. And part of the formula for scaling an e-commerce business, they say, is to write a book. But something that you kind of made a path to yourself and us when we first started is like, I don't want to write a book until someone wants to pay me to write a book, which I thought that was kind of cool. And that was always a goal, right? So the goal was to write a book. You could have wrote a book four years ago. It's the same content you've been talking about forever. Well, you've refined that message over the last few years and everything we've talked about on the show. So it was like the perfect timing to put it all into word form. Well, so far the most excited I've gotten is because I expected people who listen to the show to be very supportive. And we have the best fans, the best best supporters ever. But some of the best comments I've gotten were from like, I got like this one lady, she was like in her fifties. And she sends me a message. She's like, hey, I just read your book. I had no idea. I'm going to start lifting weights. And when I see something like that, I'm like, that's what makes me excited because never would she have, and she told me she's like, I would have never considered doing resistance training until I read your book. And that's the idea. The idea is let's let's let's change the failed fitness paradigm because again, resistance training has gotten such a terrible stigma. And that's our job as trainers. And at the end of the day, look, I've been a trainer way longer than I've been a podcaster and writing a book. My goal is the same as it's always been. There's a few family members of mine that I had get the book that I'm most interested in. Yeah, I would love to hear what they're... Yeah, because I mean... My brother too. I can't really read through it. Yeah, there's people that I'm like, because the thing is those are the people that I really want to see read this that I think it's going to be most impactful. If you're really into fitness, you're kind of aware of the... If you're listening to this podcast, right? And unless you're brand new into listening to this, if you've been listening to us for four years, like... It's just everything we talk about but put in one... Right, right. It's not going to be new knowledge to those people, but for somebody who is, you know, still chasing fat loss through cardio or the group X-type classes or all these high-intensity type workouts, to me, those are the people that are going to really... So has Adam's post been getting at you at all yet? Just once. Just all of them. Oh, all of them. He's been roasting me. Hey, here's the thing. I build them up in here and then I'm going to bring it back down. I got to take them down a little bit. I don't want to even get to it. I think they're hilarious, dude. I showed my son the one where you posted of me in the... In onesie, which I don't know how you got my face on that. Oh, that was perfect. But I showed my son, dude, he was dying. Oh, so good. You know what? Okay, we're from a different generation. I don't know how they are nowadays, but for me, when your friends are doing that to you... Adam's love. Yeah, dude. Exactly. Adam's showing me some love right now. Yeah. The best one was... I was thinking about me. Hey, the meme that... Carlos is just crushing it with the memes. He sent me the one... I did the last one, was the one one year after Sal's book. Oh, yeah. He's leaning against a phantom. I mean, it's totally not his body. It's like some little 5'8", influencer kid or something. It's totally something you would have seen. One of the gurus in our studio. Yeah, you had a private jet behind him. He's leaning against a Rolls Royce. No big deal. Just making money. Oh, I think that was so hilarious. Oh, look, I scratched my car. Yeah. It's really... Look at my protein shake. You can carry like some Lambo keys around, you know, just because. Look at my protein... I love that one. They would post like a protein shake, but it's sitting on like a flambergine. Yeah. Yeah. That's not your car. You're full of shit. Especially when you find out... That's how you roll. Especially when you find out these movie sets in LA. Like when they have like a fake private jet. Yeah, that's wild. You rent it, dude. Of course. It's so brilliant, but it's like, man, everything is so fake. You go through all that stuff, especially in the influencer realm. Do you guys think it's going to come undone? Is it going to come undone? Like is it all going to... Media has been faked since day one, dude. Yeah, but here's the thing. And this is why I don't know, because I was actually just... Did they hit the tipping point? Well, this is kind of along some of the conversations we've been having around. Like you brought up the other day like, you know, Fox and CNN, right? Like there is... I don't think there's anybody in the... United States that doesn't know how biased each one of those channels are. Yet, millions still tune in. Of course. To them. Because you want to smell your own fart. Well, that's... So it's like, you're aware it's biased as shit, but you still want to consume that content. So there's a part of me that goes, people don't care. Yeah. It's like... They have completely the opposite narrative. Like so they just create their own stories now. It's like, is this even based on real shit anymore? Are we just like writing things? Oh no, so you think that it's going to hit a tipping point where there's so much fakeness through social media because it's everyday people maybe doing it? Yeah. That at some point everyone's like, okay, I'm done. I mean, I think that, but then what makes me think maybe not is like what I just said about Fox and CNN. It's just like, people know it's fake, but I don't care. I still want to get... It's almost like Jerry Springer, right? Yeah. I mean, I think when Jerry Springer first hit the hockey stick, people thought like, wow, this is really just drama. And maybe it's real, real drama and not like dramatized, right? They weren't staging it. Even when people figured out it was completely staged. The real world? Remember, like on MTV is now the real world. Yeah. The real world is what we're dealing with. You know, I'm glad you brought that up. So this is for Luminati. This is great for... The powers that be. Yeah, Luminati guy with the shit. NWO. Anyway, I'm just going to talk like this for the rest of the show. So anyway, so someone would be like, sound those. Yeah. Or like this. Yeah. Just do that. What is that, the eye thing that they do? Whatever. Fucking stupid. No. So the real world, that's a great example. The real world on MTV was the first reality show ever. Now the original season literally was, let's film everything. Yeah. Let's not try to create drama. Let's not tell people what to say. Maybe throw some booze in there, but we'll see what happens. But they didn't do anything. They just filmed the first one and they made the show. After that, they started to create and script. And then they started to engineer it. Yes, because they found that when people did stupid, crazy shit. Like, oh my God, this gets so much more. Their views just. So watch the first real world. And what you see is like people getting along and just kind of acting normal. Yeah. And then after that, I got like, what the hell's going on? Yeah. Even though they have the crazy backgrounds that are completely opposite, they tended to get along in the beginning. That's right. You know, technically it's this, it was the second reality show. You know, the first one was technically. What? Was COPS. Oh, yeah. That's right. COPS was technically. It was a statistic game there. Right. I would have lost that. That's true. Yeah. They were technically the first reality show. And I mean, I'm sure that's where a lot of these shows started to piece it together. Like, oh my God, people love COPS because they're, you know, fucking beating people up and grabbing fricking, you know, people that are breaking the law. There's drama. Yeah. It's the drama. Right. So I think they piece that together and then sure enough, same thing with your real world that probably noticed that, oh, wow. The episodes where a big fight happens, you know, that's the ones. I think that they, the COPS need, police officers need PR now. I think they do. They need PR today more than ever. A show like that I think would be smart to bring back on the air. I wouldn't even sign up to be a cop right now. Really? Oh, man. To talk about such a thankless job. I mean, yeah. What, I mean, and shout out to all of our, I know we have a lot of officers that listen. I know we got a lot of firefighters that listen. By the way, I've been wanting to do this. So glad this was. Oh, when he does the finger thing. Yes. By the way. So, we, I've had many times where someone's messaged me that, oh yeah, our, you know, entire firehouse listens on lives. So if you're listening right now and you're in a firehouse or a station and you're with a big group of officers or firefighters and you listen to the show, message me either DM me or email one of us and I would love to give you guys a shout out. So I think that'd be cool. Yeah. Because we get, I get that and then they don't ever tell me like where they're stationed at or where they're working from. Yeah. I'd love to shout out like a. I've gotten that a few times from some military bases too. Yeah. I would love to see that as well. Yeah. And you're saying, I mean, that's a, that's a, that's a tough, thankless job. But that's about. But yeah, back to what I was starting to say that, I think it's always been challenging. I think right now, imagine like, imagine you being a cop right now and heading into a situation and like that is, you know, that could be potentially dangerous. Yeah. And you, and everything that's going on in the news, like scary dude. It is dude. It reminds me of, I had a friend of mine who this is someone that worked out my gym and he was a Vietnam vet and he told me what it was like coming home from Vietnam and getting, and people were spitting on him. And this is my dad's experience. And he's like, man, it was, it was terrible. I mean, the shit that I experienced out there and they come home and I'm being hated even though I was drafted. Exactly. He was drafted, didn't want to be there. It was just trying to survive and make, you know, things like manageable and then coming back home. It's like, I'm finally home and people are throwing shit at you, spitting in your face. What? Yeah. I didn't know. The Vietnam war was heavily protested. I know that. And so that's why. And so then there was, it was one of the first times where war, there were reporters filming and reporting in real time. And so you had, like war. Okay. Here's the deal. War is war. War is fucked. A lot of crazy shit happens. You know, it was just, it was like, it was violent. It was terrible shit. Then the reports of, you know, soldiers doing things that, you know, maybe they shouldn't have, but they were actually quite rare or whatever for the most part, you know, doing a good job. And so it was just, they were viewed and villainized. They were villainized as bad people. These soldiers going out and killing innocent people and they're bad or whatever. And so, and that was the media. The media promoted that. And so people came back. I didn't know it was to that extreme, though. People spitting on them. Yeah. Have you seen the movie born on the 4th of July? No, I have not. Okay. So that'll highlight a little bit of that. That shows kind of what happened. That's why I mean you brought up the point a long time ago, like 60s and like what we went through with all that versus like 2020. Like it's just like you put in perspective. It was pretty damn crazy back then what we went through. Yeah. It was a crazy time. A lot crazier. Speaking of crazy. Yeah. Did you guys, so this kind of made, I think it made it to mainstream news. Do you guys hear about this kid who almost died because he took eight scoops of pre-workout? What? This is true. Wow. Really? Yes. So apparently it's this YouTuber. Is this new trending or what? Yeah. A couple of people sent it to me. What a terrible idea. So apparently this kid, he does YouTube and he like, he dry scoops, which is just you take a scoop, you put it in your mouth and wash it down with water. By the way, you guys didn't invent that. So stupid. I see that back in the day because it was just easy. Right. Because he didn't have a sugar cup. That was something you only did because you splash water. I've done that with protein powder. Come on now. You're not tough because you dry scoop. You just cough and whatever. But anyway, apparently he did this and he did eight scoops and like to show like, oh, you know, whatever. I'm crazy. Yeah. And got, I mean, one pupil was dilated. The other one was constricted. His head brain swollen. Well, that's scary. They had to like crack a skull. I mean, some of these pre-workouts got 400 milligrams of caffeine in it, dude. Imagine that right then. People don't realize this. Caffeine is deadly. Yes. If you go past a certain amount. It will kill you. It's not like it just because it's in because it's in your energy drink doesn't mean it's especially when you go from that to that, right? Like if you're somebody who drinks 400 milligrams a day and then you work to 500 and 600 and 800 and 900 and 1000. That's one thing. But to go like, oh, I'm going to take 2400 milligrams of caffeine in a shot. His heart was like feeling like it was going to burst out of his chest. Oh yeah. So he like created like a situation where he gave himself strokes and they had to like apparently had to release pressure in his skull because his brain was. That's what I was thinking when you're talking about the ice pupulating like that. Pupilating. That's not what it is. Pupilating. Yeah. You had me fooled. Bro, your eyes are just trying to make up a word. Do you feel it? Do you feel it? I don't know. I got an ab cramp last night talking to Katrina. Those are the worst. Oh, it was so weird. We are talking. I don't remember what we're talking about, but we're talking about something business stuff, right? And it like slowly like, I was like, oh, she's like, are you okay? And I'm like, I don't know. And then it was like whack. And then it hit me. It was like, oh, maybe my whole body's shaped. Dude, it was so bad. So I get those if my, if my carbs are really low for a while and my electrolytes are off. So I, is that what happened? Yes. So I would, I obviously have been super low carbohydrate, right? Which is why you look incredible. Well, thank you. By the way, thank you. Very, very neat. Adam's all those guys. No, I'm just honest. Adam's all those guys, he gets leaner, looks bigger. Yeah. You know what I mean? I just look smaller. I don't feel that way, but thank you though. I need that. I need that today. Adam's all those guys. So interesting things unfolding right now. Oh yeah. So I, you know, I thought for sure that I would see a pretty immediate difference in my psoriasis from the meat. On the Adam N'Vor diet? Yeah. And initially I kind of did a little bit. Now. It's not trending yet. What I think started to happen after a few days of eating that much red meat every single day. Since, since obviously that was trying to stick mostly to meat. I'm going to target red meat primarily just because it's. So nutrient dancing. Right. So what I was noticing was my psoriasis not only was not getting better, but it was actually like starting to itch and bother me more. And normally when I do something like that, that I know obviously offends it like high sugar or ice cream, things like that, like dairy, like hour after eating, I itch. Oh, that fast. Oh yeah. It's that obvious. It's that obvious as soon as I digest it, I can already start to notice. And sometimes like that's what I mean. The psoriasis has almost been a blessing in disguise because it cues that like, right? Like I could be totally fine and then I'll be sitting there an hour afterwards watching TV and then also when I reach down, I start scratching. I'm like, oh, shit. It's like my grandfather when his corns act up, it's going to rain. What's the matter? What is that? The pressure? I had a client like that too. My knees, the things that's going to rain. But listen to this, dude. The red meat actually might be some of the problem. So I've noticed it now where it really stood out for me was, I had a couple of days. So originally I had all my like butcher box meat prepared. I was cooking like five pounds of it at a time. And then I was eating it like that. Well, there's been a couple of times now where I've ran low and I didn't have it access. So I've done a smash burger and five guys where I just had the patties. I haven't just ordered the patties and I eat just the patties alone. So basically you high quality grass-fed meat and now you're grain-fed, you know. And that's what made me go, oh my God, because I noticed when I, here's what also, I kind of noticed the original. I think I talked about the Srisis feeling a little bit better. But that also could have been because I was at such a low calorie intake from what I was before and I was offending it so much with everything else. So I felt, oh, maybe this is getting it better. But then it like plateaued and then it even got a little worse. And it got worse when I noticed I had these types of foods. So since then, I started introducing more white meat. So I've had chicken, I've had veal, I've had ground turkey and I've had salmon. And so I, and I started to limit the amount of red meat. Well, veal's red too, but it's not as fatty. Oh, okay. So, yeah, or like closer to white meat, I feel like, right. So more white meats and fishes and things like that. So this just basically mixing up from just ground beef, which I was eating primarily and already started to notice the Srisis. It's an inflammatory, it must be the fatty acid profile or something like that. So you know what's interesting, I've had two clients that had to be, that had to limit red meat, one lady, the only person I've ever worked with that actually had an intolerance, a borderline allergy to red meat. Now she thought it was because she got Lyme disease, you know, years prior. And I know that can cause that in some people. The other guy, literally would become inflamed when he ate too many animal products, especially meat. And it was, we tested it so many times and this just goes to highlight the individual variance with nutrition. You cannot, you cannot state this enough. There's such a huge, the things you wouldn't even imagine, it could be so different from person to person. Well, I even find it fascinating how I can already start to tell a difference between like the grass fed versus eating like the regular meat from like five guys or from a smash burger, like what a difference it may too. So what I think, so kind of where I'm moving now is I'm slowly starting to introduce other things, right? So I let avocado in there the other day. I let some, some bell peppers and onions in there. All these things seem fine. I actually think it has something to do with my meat, where I'm, or my protein source. And so I'm going to try and if I eat red meat, I'm not going to eliminate it completely. If I eat it, I'm going to do my best to only have grass fed and see what happens. And then I'm going to have more chicken and veal and like others as salmon and other sources of protein. Well, I imagine that would make a difference. I mean just the, in terms of the quality of the meat, because I went through a little bit of that when I was in the carnivore diet. I think it's real high. I know we talk about it, right? But I exact, I wouldn't have noticed it except for I was eating so much. The volumes we have. Yeah. I've never ate that much red meat before. I've always liked red meat and it's always in my diet. But I think when it's only in my diet once or twice at most in the day, it wasn't enough for me to like to really register on that. It's when you were just eating it all day. Yeah. When I'm eating it all day, that's my main source of calories. Then I noticed it. Yeah. That's why I tell people people ask me, do you eat a lot of red meat in a great while? I mean, it makes a little bit of a difference maybe over time. So over a long period of time. But if you eat a lot of red meat, it makes a difference. Now I don't get any gut issues or anything from red meat at all. It's actually one of the most tolerable for me. However, I do notice if it's all grain fed meat, I'm more sore after my workouts and I'm more stiff. So I definitely have more inflammation in my body than I would when I do grass fed. That's what I notice from it. It almost makes me want to try vegan out for a little while. Oh, my God, bro. I just can't, though. I'm like, I'll just have psoriasis. That's good for me. I just can't. I mean, that's just you may as well make me do crossfit after that, too. I'm saying, fuck it. Throw in the towel. I'm doing it all night. Again, dude, you got it. Look, we were, Jessica and I were watching this show on Netflix about sleep, headspace. Have you guys seen the headspace? I've seen the app. Okay. So I'm just going to talk about sleep. And the first half of it was talking about all the ways you can improve your sleep. And then the back half was a meditation, right? So, but we're watching the first part and Jessica is just getting annoyed with the whole thing. And I'm like, why are you so annoyed, honey? And she's like, because they're being irresponsible with the information they're providing. I'm like, what do you mean? She goes, they're so general. She goes, you know how big of an individual variance there is with some of it's not true for me. Right. And so, and she, and that's the point and that's, I mean, she made an excellent point and now you're making an excellent point. Like I've had clients where they literally have issues with foods that you wouldn't even imagine. Bananas or or apples or carrots, you know, like just the most off thing. That's why it's so important to listen to your own body because if you were like hard headed, if you weren't like, you know, self-aware, you can just keep pushing through cause yourself problems. Well, it was interesting. I was having a bit of a conversation with my oldest about he's kind of going through some changes. You know, we got him a book about everything, you know, about puberty and stuff. That's right. Him and my daughter at the same age. Yeah. So it's like, you know, he's more interested now in like before about like building muscle and like how he can do it properly. And so he started to read in his book and how he could do it. And so, you know, and we started to talk through it about why we always like try to, you know, highlight, you know, like some kind of like whole foods and meat source, you know, in our, in our dinners and a lot of our meals we center around that first for that specific reason, but also, you know, I know for me as I was growing developing, I need even more than that. And so like I, you know, in there, they kind of highlighted protein shakes. He, you know, what he thinks and stuff. And so I had some Organifi there for him to try. And so he tried the chocolate one and, you know, we had it blended with ice and then milk. And so we tried both options, but he likes the one where it's just like with ice, but I don't know, it's kind of, it's like nostalgic for me to kind of see like this whole progression of like, I'm interested in like protein shakes and getting gains, dad. Now, would you, would you let him, now, other than he tried, he tried whey as well, but like, he actually preferred the Organifi side. Really? Okay. You know, yeah, he liked the taste of that better. Organifi's No, no, don't get me wrong. Organifi is the best vegan protein out there. I, I've tried so many and I don't think anything. They're not even close. But I still think that way. So it depends, right? So Katrina, we just had this conversation yesterday because she made this. I said, because when I make the oatmeal, I mix with whey. I said, and whey, when it's like a, if it's savory stuff or with food, I like way better. I love Organifi stuff when you mix it with tardy stuff because it got like fruit. Yes. So like berries, strawberries, blueberries, bananas, you have the vanilla ones. Yeah, bomb. Like, but if I go chocolate peanut butter, savory direction, I like, I know Sal doesn't have an option, but I mean, I used to drink whey when I was a kid, but Organifi saved the day with their protein for sure. Now, now you've done the sex talk with your son. Yes. So yeah, it's funny because we really didn't get that far with it, but like all of a sudden now you think she's like an expert, you know, like some, some people will be making out on the screen or something. I know where this is going. Yeah, I don't know. Let's see how this plays out. I would fucking fall off my chair. You guys would die because he's he's in this funny period now where he's getting some attention from girls and stuff. And so he's, he's actually like, he's been really like focused on one, but then all of a sudden now one of his friends like older sister was like, oh, here's my handle for Roblox. Like, let's hang out. So he's like on there, like chat with him. Chat is a little bit. I'm like, what about Kindle? Oh yeah. Yeah, her too. I don't want to tie myself down. I'm like, whoa dude, you're way farther than I was. So, my daughter, she's also in fifth grade and she's, she's a young fifth grade. And what I mean by that is I remember when I was in fifth grade, I knew everything. I mean, I was, it wasn't good. I was kissing girls at that. I mean, we were talking about kinds of crazy too. My daughter is very naive when it comes to this kind of stuff. So anyway, or really smart. No, no, she is because things will be said and stuff. And then my son will laugh and she'll be like, what, what, tell me. And anyway, so I, we were all going on a walk and I took, I took the baby for a longer walk and Jessica walked back with the kids. Well, anyway, I think my daughter felt like because Jessica will answer any question. She's not like embarrassed. So the kids can say any, whereas I try to be, but I'm sure they can sense in me that I'm almost like, Oh no, this is one of those questions. So anyway, they walk home. So Jessica's talking about the whole thing, everything, everything. So how does it work? How does it get in there? What does that look like? Why do people do it? Like everything. Wow. Yes. So then I came home and then a little later I was like, Hey, I heard you guys talked about whatever. And then, you know, we started having more conversations like, Oh my God, my daughter's growing up, dude. Wow. It's all happening. It's like, oh, too fast. Well, that's great. If she's comfortable to talk to you about that. Yeah. Well, this is what I love is that later on, we were all hanging out. It was my son, my daughter, Jessica and I and of course the baby and my daughter is asking just out in the open and this is a good sign, right? She's not feeling embarrassed. She's asking period stuff. How does a tampon work and why would I use that over this and, you know, and my son's not embarrassed. I'm like, this is good. When I was a kid, we didn't even utter fine on me either. If you don't, if they don't come to you and so that, they go to their friends or they'll go Google. Yeah. I guess Google is a step better than your friends. Yeah. But I mean, that's all we had. We were grown up. Yeah. We had our stupid friends, brothers. And Google might not be. There's all kinds of crazy shit on the internet. So, but the other she was asking these questions. But when I was a kid, like, I remember the first time my parents actually talked about sex around me was after I got married. No, no. This is awkward. You missed your window. Exactly. Like, mom, the boat has sailed. That's really awkward now. So that's, have I ever shared on this? Have I shared on the podcast? I know I've talked to you guys about it. I know, like Justin knows a little more because he knows Katrina's mom pretty well, but Katrina's mom is like. Very open. Yeah. Very, very, I mean, she cracks me up with that stuff. Isn't she? She's like, and very forward about it. Like, if it's on her mind, like, I've talked to her for an hour, going on 11 years, um, very weird at first, especially because I'm kind of like, my family was kind of quiet about it. And I was the oldest. So definitely I think they learned to have those conversations with the next kids more. You know, me was like, you know, we learned about like, oh, we probably should have talked to him about that shit earlier. So, uh, when we first started dating, like, I remember we'd be sitting at dinner table with like her brothers, and I'm like, just looking straight ahead. You know what I'm saying? Like, I don't even want to make eye contact with anybody at the table like, I'm over here like, I love you. You're like, yeah, Mrs. Garcia, actually, I could use a few more. Please talk to your daughter. Yeah, or she'll, or she'll make comments. Like, come over, I haven't seen her a couple of days and like, honey, your skin looks amazing. You guys must be having incredible sex lately. Oh my God, mom, you know what though? She cares. Which is great. It is cool though, now that I've gotten used to it and I've been around it long enough, the family is, they're so unbelievably close that whenever something, someone has a question about anything, and no matter what age, you know what I'm saying? If the little nephew who's coming into age right now at 13 and asking questions like that, that dynamic has been such an open, so open like that, that everybody's very comfortable sharing and helping. Yeah, well, you want them to be open because then you know what's going on. Otherwise, I mean, I spent some crazy time over the weekend, Courtney was gone visiting a friend in Idaho and so I was like trying to figure out what to do with the kids all weekend and so I was like, you know, we're going on hikes, I'm trying to get the dogs, trying to get everybody exhausted and we went to go pick her up at SFO, so I went and took them to San Francisco earlier, so they've never been to the city or seen anything up there because I just pretty much avoid it like the plague, but apparently there's still some nice areas like Fishman's Wharf and all that kind of stuff and it was so funny, I had to share this because we're walking down the street and apparently there's like a lot of guys come through with their hot rods or their like low riders or you know, stuff and then you know, like get on it and try to get attention and all this stuff and so, you know, this kind of band of low rider dudes are like driving down and one of them is like slamming on the road and all this stuff. I'm not hydro. Oh yeah, and Ethan was like, yeah, so awesome, cool, it was just like, what's up homies? And I was just like, oh god. Oh man, I was dying inside, I was like trying to hide, you know, and he's like, oh yeah, they totally were like like playing into it with him and he's like dancing with the things like slamming. That's so great. I'm like, oh my god dude. Well, I'm in it now so I'm like oh god, I haven't seen a low rider with hydros in a long time. Dude, apparently there's salt there. Oh, I love them. They just cruise over to East Side San Jose. I know, I haven't seen it so like, I remember when I was in high school, it was a couple guys, you know, they do the three wheel and they get up on three wheels. I mean, Cinco de Mayo, you see the, I mean for the whole day straight up. I used to live on All in Rock, which is an extension to downtown Santa Clara. So you're, so my parking lot was the turnaround spot. So everybody came through my house and flipped around and went back down the other way. So like, Playing oldies in an array. Oh yeah. I mean, cool if you decide you want to stay, right? So if I decided that, okay, this thing, one of my, I'm going to stay here and I'm going to watch all the cars and that's going to be my thing. That's a good time. Yeah, get your lawn chair out, have a beer and just enjoy yourself. I love those bikes that they, they fabricate, you know, with the crazy like wire rims and stuff. They make some sick bikes. One of our OG listeners, shout out to Aaron. Aaron's got a couple of those. I think he's hardcore. He put some money in that. That's a lot of time and energy. I want one of those. Looking that way. Hey, real quick, I wanted to bring this up. I forgot to bring this up earlier. Do you guys see the controversy over Rogan's comments on the vaccine? I did. What? It makes me so, he didn't even say anything real crazy. Did he? No, he really was just kind of saying that he didn't really think if you're young, you're healthy, you know, you're taking your vitamins, you're working out, you're doing all the right things. Like, you're not really that susceptible to having a really bad experience with COVID. Like, I don't know that vaccine is probably, you know, appropriate. It should be for everybody else that's susceptible to it. He's getting, he got hammered. But I saw the meme that was one of the best memes I've ever seen my whole, this is why memes are so amazing. I saw the best meme. It said, Joe Rogan has the same medical degree as Bill Gates. Yeah. Wow, that is really good. That brings up a good, very, very good point. But I mean, he's got an opinion. Okay. Right. Hey, real quick, I hope you're enjoying this and check out all of our free guides. We have a lot of great, free written information you can download that can help you with all kinds of fitness goals. Again, it's mindpumpfree.com. All right. Enjoy the rest of the podcast. First question is from the real Anthony G. What's the mind pump stance on two a days? Oh, love them if you do them right. So two a days, it's advanced. Yeah. Two a days, basically, okay, this is what it is. If you don't know what that is, basically working out twice a day. Okay. So two a day, our stance is not in support of two a days. Let's say you do your normal workout, which is, let's say an hour long and then you want to add another hour long workout later in the day. You're going to overdo it. The two a days that I think are good is when you take your normal workout and divide it into two workouts and studies actually support the performance benefits from working out this way. There were studies done on cardio. There were studies that have been done on resistance training. I've tested this out myself. Of course, the challenge is time. You know, I don't have necessarily easy for me to schedule two workouts in a day, but if you take your total workout and you can break it up into two workouts, most people will notice some benefits. It's actually more ideal and we would love it if, you know, people had that kind of time on their hands where they could devote more of their day towards very specific types of exercises and movements that are going to benefit them. It's just the reality of that is really the schedule is the monster that usually is the, you know, for a lot of people to stay consistent. So if you have that kind of accessibility and availability, really you just have to figure out what the right dose is, intensity-wise, volume-wise, for you to make that work so you're not overdoing. It would be the big challenge. Well, the way that you guys are explaining it right now is this is how I train right now because I have the gym now at my house and then we have here. So sometimes what will happen is like a morning I'll get busy doing stuff. I won't do a full workout in here. I'll go do two or three exercises and then when I get home I'll do two or three more exercises to finish my workout. I love that and I think there's tremendous benefit to that especially after I've been sitting in the car for like an hour and I've been sitting down in a podcast before that and then I go get another workout and move again. So I see tons of value there. Now we have a program, Maps PED which is a double-day hardcore program. That type of training similar to how I got to training when I was competing but that was towards the end of my competing career. I scaled... It's at the very pinnacle of your training. Yes. So we have a program but it was the last program that we did for a specific reason. It was that you should have gone through all the other Maps programs before you dabbler. There's no reason for somebody to go to double days like that where there's that much volume in it unless you've already kind of scaled up to that. Otherwise you're missing all the great benefits of doing a lot less volume and getting more results. Yeah. I mean for sports there was a way... I honestly liked using the double-day for getting in shape and conditioning. That was very effective because I could split it up and it wasn't like I would just fatigue myself where I couldn't even walk. We'd cut it about halfway through, get some food in us and recoup and then come back and then attack it again which actually we were able to adapt to more endurance pretty quickly. Well for sports that makes sense. To your point right there you wanted to get adapted quickly so you could perform on the field. That's different than somebody who's chasing aesthetics that wants to actually improve their fit. They want to build more muscle, burn more body fat. Going from where you're probably currently at to a super double-day type of training is more than you need. Yeah. Now to be fair splitting up your workouts throughout the day you do increase your body's capacity to handle some volume. It's not a huge massive crazy difference but it does increase your body's capacity to handle more volume. Like I've done tests on myself where I'll do three sets of three exercises every other hour. So I'll start at like 8 a.m. and I'll stop at like 5 p.m. I keep the intensity very moderate by the way so it's not a high intensity workout and at the end of that day if I count the volume in the sets like it's way more volume that I would be able to handle in one workout. But because I split it up throughout a bunch of many workouts throughout the day my body was able to handle it. I didn't over train and I felt okay. So there's some of that with these split type workouts as well. So if your workout is taking you an hour and a half and you're like you know I want to add a little bit more volume but I don't know if my body could handle it you can definitely experiment with two 50 minute workouts rather than doing two hour workout maybe try two one hour workouts and see how that feels. That's splitting it up where you can feed yourself allow your body to recover a little bit and then go back to the gym. It might be it might be just what you need but it requires a lot of time a lot of dedication your life revolves around working out when you do it that way. Let's be honest. Next question is from once upon a picture how do you mitigate your digestive system acting up when bulking? You know this is my limiting factor always for me because my my gut is just so sensitive and just gets on my nerves this is always my limiting factor when it comes to putting on muscle I can push it a little bit and then my gut acts up and I have to kind of back off now the way that I've managed it you just came off of that recently right because you were starting to put some good size on and what made you come back the other way was exactly that my gut it's always my gut right so what I have now here's how I kind of work with it a little bit I have to completely stay away from foods that bother my digestion even in the slightest especially when my calories go up so like I'll give you an example normally under normal circumstances I can handle potatoes they don't bother me if I'm bulking I got to cut potatoes out because they start to bother me I can handle rice but not a ton of rice I can handle a lot of fats and a lot of proteins and that's pretty much it anything beyond that and it starts to really bother me now it's really hard to bulk with that limited you know kind of choices that I have so that's always my limiting factor so I would say that number one thing and even people without gut issues what you'll find is they'll say things like oh I feel so bloated I can't eat anymore food I feel so stuffed avoid foods that bother your digestion so that means you're probably not going to be able to eat as much junk food you're probably going to have to avoid things like gluten and dairy some people need to avoid legumes stick with the very easily digestible food you'll be able to consume more of it and assimilate more of it figure out what those easily digestible carbohydrates are specifically too because that's one of those that like with rice or something like that that's a little easier on my stomach and I know like was it the guy's name that's like Rhino or whatever Stan Effarding Stan Effarding I love that though I love to add like the bone broth in there and then you know if I could put some ground meat in there and like have that all in one sitting it's you know beef up the calorie amount a bit but it's something that's going to sit in my stomach and not just tear me up so I actually this is where I love to use either a day of fasting or just like a really low calorie day too so like if I've been like increasing calories increasing calories increasing calories starting to notice like inflammation or whatever or my digestive system starting to bother me then running a fast the next day or just you know a series of two or three days that are really low cow like 500 to a thousand calories which is kind of like mimicking similar to a fast doing that for two or three days resetting and then going back to the bulk again I find a lot of value in that also but you definitely want to start to find out what foods are offending you for sure because that it could be just simply that could be simply your whatever it is you're bulking with there could be something in there that is your body is definitely going no I don't want that much of that yeah gone are the days for me of where I could just bulk just gonna whatever I mean there was there was a period there like you know my teens and twenties where I was like I just eat more and more and put on more weight and now my body goes no not only are you not gonna put on weight you're gonna lose weight because well and the truth is that's what got us here I mean that's the reason why all those things do bother us is because we used to and that's what I think it's so hard right to get a 20 year old kid you know to listen to this right now they're bulletproof right now yeah but that's I mean the reason why we have to fucking eliminate all this stuff now is because we bulked with everything and so aggressively when we were younger and now you're extra sensitive to all that stuff next question is from B. Bowks what is the best way to approach training obese clients yeah okay so obese clients we're talking about people who are in that kind of clinically obese which by the way now is a pretty big percentage of the population now but when you're training someone like this consider that the psychological piece is far more important than the mechanisms that are involved with weight loss okay so obviously we know if they ate less and they moved more and they exercise that they would lose weight that's obvious but it's not even close to that easy okay you're dealing with someone who you have to completely get them to change their relationship to food they have to change their relationship to exercise and how they are with their own body that takes some time so one of the first things I like to do is I like to incorporate strength training and I tell them they're not going to lose any weight for at least a couple months so for the first two months we're not going to lose any weight my goal with you is to strengthen your body and get your metabolism to speed up a little bit and I know if you get stronger and your weight doesn't change then we probably have lost some fat and gained some muscle then when it comes to the diet I like to try to add things before I take things out and why? because it's different it feels different feels different to somebody to say don't eat these anymore versus hey look don't change anything else just make sure that you eat if you hit that I don't care about anything else but you know through doing that that that will get them to naturally want to eat a little less anyway because of the satiety effects for example of protein but in a nutshell it's a very slow measured approach we're going to get this weight off you because that's what you hired me for because you will fail in the long run I mean that's pretty much exactly how probably all of us go towards it I'll add one thing when they would be with me I'm going to strength train and strength training by the way for this person could look vastly different so sometimes strength training was holding their hand and then standing up and sitting down on a chair now I've also had obese clients that could still put a barbell in their back and actually get a pretty decent squat so depending on where I'm going to meet them wherever their level is for strength training and then we're going to primarily focus on strength training with me then this is where I had a long time ago on the show I used to get these colored dots and a client like this I used to love to do this where I'd have them put it sporadically through the house on the refrigerator, maybe on their bathroom mirror maybe by the TV and when they saw this they would do something every client was different, unique sometimes it was mobility work sometimes it was body weight squats sometimes it was a sit up or whatever but I'd have like little things that are just 10 sets 10 reps of something just to keep them moving and trying to implement just more movement in their day just a little reminder, when you see that dot go do this if you see that dot go do that or encouraging them to walk more and move more, normally people that are in this obese category, depending on how far we're talking, like if we're going all the way to morbidly obese they're extremely sedentary and so I just want to find little ways that I can create more and not extreme ways, not biggest loser style not let's go to boot camp and get the ropes out and do crazy shit no, things that I know that they'll continue on forever just saying hey, this is what you'd normally do at this time, let's add this I love that, I completely do the same thing but I didn't have like a system like that which I think that's really smart it was always just like what they could do after the shower, what they could do while they have the TV on instead of sitting down just trying to address a lot of normal tendencies and patterns that they usually are doing or like they're going out to get food or what that looks like how they could get more involved when actually making it at home and so I spent a lot more time actually going to the grocery stores with them and walking through and really figuring out what type of decisions they were making and then how we could just modify one thing within that same mindset that you're asking the person to do is to change their life I don't mean that in the lightest at all the reason why somebody's obese is because of their life that's just not the time they spend with you that's everything, just how they are in the way that they live you're asking this person to completely change that, that's what it would require for them to go from obese to lean there's no small task anybody watching this right now change your life completely and then make it stick forever that's a very difficult thing to do I don't care what it is you're asking yourself to do so this is a very slow process you need to appreciate and then I want to go back to what we've talked about with resistance training in regards to obese individuals there's this myth that obese individuals have a lot of muscle and that they just need to do cardio I don't need to get bigger on this, obese individuals have low muscle mass they actually have very little muscle they're actually underneath frail in fact osteopenia bone loss is more common in the obese so there's this myth that no don't lift weights because you're not trying to get big you already probably have a lot of math I've seen people say this like oh I don't need to build you can see that I'm thick the truth is these days because we're so sedentary everybody has low muscle mass especially when they start to develop insulin resistance their body actually starts to get even weaker and they start to lose even more muscle so the truth is strengthening that's right strengthen their bodies build some muscle and that'll pay them dividends next question is from not so fluffy dev I'm a single father of two young boys living miles away from friends and family how did your clients stay consistent with their training and what type of workouts did you suggest to someone who had a few minutes to themselves at night after the kids were put to bed is it possible to build a healthy metabolism with only body weight exercises and no access to gym equipment yes it is so here's something that is just this is a very important lesson to understand when it comes to well probably everything in life but let's talk about exercise here in fitness for a second is that there are things in your life that are just uncontrollables so you're a single dad two kids by the way I commend you it's hard enough being a father with a wife I can imagine being a single father so it's really really tough so obviously they're important to you you're not going to change that your life is busy okay there's nothing you can do about that so let's work with that you got a few minutes at night that's enough time to do two or three exercises and so what I would do with this person when you put the kids to bed and you have a little bit of time to yourself so rather than doing long workouts which you don't have the time to do three days a week then fine do ten minutes you know seven days a week right ten minutes seven days a week is seventy minutes of exercise and especially if you do slow movements even though you don't have equipment you create a lot of tension with the increased frequency of training on almost regular basis you will definitely see positive results so I would love to see this person take a page of the last question that we talked about with the two of days right so maybe you don't get a full hour at the end of the day but maybe you have ten fifteen minutes multiple times throughout the day and do a program like our MAP suspension trainer getting the suspension trainer having it hooked up somewhere at your house and so maybe you're prepping dinner and you can go over and get like fifteen push ups on it then you're doing stuff later on with the kids I would do you know I'd have a goal of like exercises that I can do on that you know or follow the program so you get an idea what's in there and then I would break them up throughout the day everybody has this idea that you have to sit down or not sit down go to the gym or be working out for an hour for it to be really effective I mean you could break this up in four ten minute sessions throughout the day and get incredible shape that way in fact probably better shape that way so you don't have to confine yourself only this one block of time that you feel this freedom get something like that that's versatile that you can just hang up in your house or take with you to the park and go places and when you can strap it up and do a few movement this is probably one of the single greatest things that's changed with my own training it took me a while to get to this point because even myself as a trainer thought like this way that if I didn't get that full hour hard workout it wasn't good enough I train a lot of times one exercise you know double in the day or you know broken up like that little bites like that I think that's perfect yeah if you can just find those opportunities I mean there's and to address the body weight thing like we created an entire program for body weight with you know maps anywhere and that's something too that you could split up you know into chunks and do 15 minutes you know like you're saying or you know and there's lots of ways to really intensify that if that's what your worry is that like I'm not getting enough intensity in these exercises you know there's a lot of ways to challenge your body from different goals in progress just by body weight but you know it's it requires you to follow something that's very specifically you know laid out yes and in low to moderate intensity done very frequently over time produces great results you don't have to always train super hard I had a client like this and she would work out twice a day 15 minutes each time so there was like in the morning and then she would do it when her kids went to school and so she did 30 minutes a day but she did it every single day and she was in phenomenal shape and so she figured out a way to work it into her schedule and those short workouts again if you do if you do them frequently you're going to get great results and here's the thing even if you're limited even if you're limited to one of them it's still more than nothing and it's still going to just keep that signal alive that's right and that's what you need to focus on yeah what you don't want to do and this is the this is the challenge you don't want to get stuck in a situation where you say a little bit is not enough therefore I'm not doing anything okay a little bit is better than nothing a little bit is a lot better than nothing
