 Next question is from BBXH. Can you do social level adult sports such as soccer and bodybuilding or do they conflict? All right, it depends on what you mean by do they conflict, right? Does lifting weights improve your ability to play soccer and other sports? Yes, it does. It can actually make you much faster and more stable and strong. If your goal is to be the best bodybuilder you could possibly be, then yeah, focusing a lot of energy in anything else is gonna take away from that. Now we get this question all the time and I think you have to understand one thing. If you want to have extreme performance in one pursuit then oftentimes unless the other stuff that you're doing is geared towards complimenting that you can't also pursue that kind of extreme performance in other attributes and not expect to have some detriment, okay? So you can't be the best soccer player of your life and also be the best bodybuilder of your life. There's gonna be some give and take but can you do them together, have a good quality of life and get benefits for both? Absolutely, absolutely. If your goal is to enjoy what you're doing and maybe lift some weights to compliment soccer, I mean that's a wonderful approach but I think people put too much, they fear this too much, you know what I mean? So they're like, you know what? I'm not doing anything else. I'm just gonna lift weights. It's like, are you gonna be like a super bodybuilder? Is that what you want to do? Or are you just trying to be fit and healthy? In which case do you want? I feel like it wouldn't be a quaff. We didn't have this question. I feel like we get every quaff. We have pretty much this exact question just worded differently and you know, insert different sport, different aesthetic goal but it's, you know, can I be a buff soccer player? Like, yes, of course you can. You know, lift weights and play soccer. You're gonna be a pretty buff looking soccer player. I don't think, but it's just, are they conflicting? Well, there's different attributes that make a great soccer player. There's different attributes that make a great bodybuilder. It's just that simple and you're gonna have to put some of your effort in one of those directions and so if you are gonna put them in one direction you're going to limit yourself in the other one. It's that, but you, it doesn't mean you can't be a really fit looking soccer player or that has good amount of muscle mass on you and it doesn't mean you can't be a bodybuilder who actually plays soccer fairly well. I mean, you can definitely do that. You're not gonna be the best, like Sal said, the best version of yourself at it, doing both of them because they are different goals. I do, I do, I totally agree. I do have one thing though that really drives me crazy though with professional athletes when they seek out a bodybuilding coach to train them all in hypertrophy leading into their very sport specific pursuit. And I've seen this time and time again with NFL athletes and MMA athletes where they're literally just training like a bodybuilder leading up and then they totally shit the bed when they go to perform. Yeah, I think you have to be, the area you probably have to be the most careful is if you were an athlete, so if you're playing soccer on a fairly regular basis, the amount of bodybuilding I would be doing would be minimal. And mainly just for- I would compliment, do it to compliment, right? Right, it would be just enough. I mean, one to two days a week is about all you wanna be doing because I'd be more worried about injury, right? I'd be more worried about training so hard and heavy to look a certain way. Then I go out on the field and I try to do something explosive and then I end up pulling or tearing something. And so that's the one thing you gotta be careful when you are chasing a bodybuilding goal while also playing a sport. This is true for sports too. Like I wanna, at some point, right? When you're a kid, you do it all. I mean, studies show if you do it all, you do specific sports better by doing it that way. But at some point, you specialize and then all your other training is geared towards that specialization. This is why it's so rare, it's so rare to see a professional athlete who's a professional in multiple sports. And the only one that comes to mind for me is Bo Jackson. I can't think of anybody else that, I'm sure there were others. You guys would probably know. I don't know of any other athletes that were able to- Yeah, that were professionals. Deion Sanders. Deion Sanders, yeah. But it's super rare, right? Cause that's really hard to focus all your focus and technique and skills and be so good that you can be a pro level in one sport and then do it in another. If you, I think I know what they're, what they're really asking when they ask this question is, am I gonna lose some gains? Am I gonna lose some aesthetics? I mean, I don't know. Maybe if it's real extreme, I bet you most people would probably not. They probably look better just cause they're doing more activity. But if you, let's say you're an advanced bodybuilder, let's say you've been lifting weights for 40 years and bodybuilding has been your focus and that's all you've done for 40 years and you've maximized muscular development. And then you're like, you know what, I'm gonna start playing soccer four days a week. Therefore I'm gonna lift weights only once or twice a week. Are you gonna lose some of your bodybuilding gains? Yeah, of course. Of course you are because your focus has moved a little bit more in another direction, but I think people put too much weight into something like they worry too much about this unless you're at that extreme level, who cares? Like go and enjoy. Well, especially at the wreck league level, like they're saying, like we're just doing this as a weekend warrior, but you just gotta be cognizant too that you're putting that excess amount of force and stress around the joints. So it makes sure at least you incorporate a bit more mobility in your rituals going into something like that. So you can just maintain the health of your ankles, your knees, everything else. That's the most important part of this conversation is that actually almost all of my injuries that have happened in basketball have been probably because I was training so consistently to be a bodybuilder and put mass and size and build. And then I go get out on a basketball court and think that I'm gonna be able to move the same as I was moving when I was 19 years old. And now I've got these over-developed quads and glutes, but then I had terrible ankle mobility and stability and there goes my Achilles, right? Or I don't have the same rotational strength with this new body that's 230 pounds that I did when I was 180 pounds. And so that's what you gotta be probably most cautious of is if you have put a lot of energy and effort towards building a bigger physique, a bodybuilding, and then you decide to pick up a wreck league sport, whether it be soccer or basketball or that and not realizing that you haven't trained that new version of your body to be capable of doing some of these explosive movements. And that's normally where the injury occurs. So this has happened to me multiple times, so I need to take my own advice here, but that's probably what I'd be most concerned about when I ask this question less about, oh, well, I still look good or whatever, is if I've been really focused on building a buff body and then I go play a sport that I haven't been training for is the likelihood of potentially tearing something or hurt injuring yourself. Yeah, very good point.
