All right. Enjoy the show I had this trainer. Oh my god. I'm gonna his name's gonna slip, which is probably good You was oh, yeah, he's like who can I throw to the bus last night when I was at when I was at capital and he was He was a part-time stripper part-time trainer one of my top sales guys. I know who this is. No, you don't Yes, I do. No way. Do you know three nipples and no, no, no, no. He was Who is that guy? Welcome to the stage With the sun on his well, no, what made me think about it is when Sal right now was Talking about intercostals and this is all his anatomy going on over here and I used to listen to I mean my trainers I get the Kaplan McKee. Do you remember Kaplan McKee the sales area had all those walls? Yeah, and the little pit area partitions. Yeah, the little partition so I could sit on the other side I could listen to my trainers presentation and not look like I'm listening I'd be sit my chair behind the right behind the wall and I could like Okay, what are they saying then afterwards? I was coach them like, hey, you know where you went this direction Better go this track. Shouldn't have told him you're a stripper. Well, yeah No, but this guy was like notorious for making up my body parts and anatomy Yes, dude, he was such a hustler and a great closer That I would obviously let him get away with it why he's doing that. I'd sit him down I'd be like, bro, you can't just make up terms. What was it? Come on. Do you remember any of them? Oh No, they were bad bro. It was bad like really yeah He would just and I and I knew what he was trying to communicate So I guess I had some empathy, you know I'm saying like it wasn't I don't I don't think he was like intentionally Like trying to just lie to these people. It's that he just didn't he didn't have the words But he was anyway what he was trying to communicate I got what he was trying to do but he would just make sure when you're gripping that that tear dactyl really flares Yeah, dude, I don't know how he got away with it I mean, I guess you know you train enough people that your lower back hurts because you have an anterior posterior Wink you need to train your bond chills. Yeah, well, it would be like that But not that he wouldn't say botch and stuff like that But it would be stuff that he would take like stuff that he maybe he heard my presentation or another trainers And then he would make it his own, you know, I think you'd hear him talking about That doesn't the body doesn't work that way I would I would actually do that on purpose to see if the person whenever I would do a to So a to is called it stands for turnover So you go in when your sales guy or trainer calls you in to help you communicate the whole process or whatever and I would throw words or phrases in there that I knew that the potential client didn't know But I knew my trainer would know just to spice things up and have fun So I just say I throw a word out and and I and I see my trainer try not to laugh and I'd be like, oh, yeah So I would use bonch all the time was my favorite one because a lot of people didn't know what that was people know now Dude I this morning. I woke up hella early To work out at home because The baby's not home so I can actually work out downstairs. Oh, I woke up my daughter. Where's your baby? Yeah with with Jessica They went to go see her grandmother. Oh, I didn't know they left. Yeah. Yeah, so when they leave yesterday Yeah, oh yesterday morning. So I'm I'm I'm in there working out hello early and a lot of times I wake up early I'll read articles in between sets and I'll have all these like Mindstorms or whatever. I'm thinking about certain things and I read this article the science article and I really annoyed the hell out of me This there was a science article that that came out and you'll see this We'll make sure we put it up on the on the video that talked about the genes That people have When they can eat whatever they want and not gain any weight So literally title it, you know the part of the headline was like we all know that person that can eat like a horse I'm not getting any weight and so scientists identified these genes and This is why some people are lean and you know our genetics are to blame for lots of obesity And I hate stuff like this because here's your excuse. Yeah, they take data They extrapolate and make these assumptions which here's your all your all the evidence you need right here that this is complete bullcrap is That either humans evolved at lightning speeds over the last 60 years Because obesity went from 10% to a majority of Americans in like 60 70 years So we either developed brand new obesity genes and evolved super which we've never seen that happen ever and in the animal world Or with humans or Or It's our lifestyle and our lifestyle radically changed the last 70 years like what changed more You're talking about 60 to 70 years right now. What was just a hundred or 200 years? So what was the percentage of obesity didn't you weren't obese unless you were rich? Yeah, that's what I'm saying like it's gotta be had to be even less than that I've talked about this before but if you pull up if you were to Google or search Circus fat man at the turn of the century. So like in the late 1800s, so Back in the day kind of a terrible thing circuses would travel and part of their entertainment was their freak show They used to call it and these were people with deformities or Weird lady. It was a thing back then. Yeah bearded lady was one of them and people would pay or like crab boy And there would be a kid with the you know terrible genetic deformity where you know his hands would be like this Yeah, and people would pay money to stare at these people right and the circus fat man was one of the more popular ones And it would be a guy that was so obese That people would pay money to see it and they'd be like oh my god kids It was so rare. Can you believe somebody was that big if you saw a picture of a circus? Fat man from the turn of the century. They could walk around Walmart right now. Yeah and blend in completely There would be no nobody would it would be nothing weird would be about it. So No, that's not our genes. Sorry our lifestyle changed dramatically, which takes me to another point and I was thinking this You know politics has permeated everything so much that it's poisoned so many different things to the point where When we're talking about obesity and fitness and health They have taken that and made it a moral Question so if you're overweight, it's because you're a bad person and that's why they defend it by saying no You know fat is beautiful or fat is whatever If you're if you're fit trying to shame you you're morally superior And then they try to twist it to say no you're not more you're worse or whatever it has nothing to do with morality You could be a very moral good person and be very overweight You could be a morally terrible person and be lean and vice versa has nothing to do the more at morality at all so we need to separate the two because That really hurts people in the pursuit of improving their health as they they place that on themselves Am I a bad person? Am I a good person? Neither and it's it's not to discredit genetics either I mean there obviously that plays a role I absolutely think that that plays a role and I would think too that as we are we get fatter and fatter And we keep having kids and I would think we start to evolve in that direction also So I think we'll evolve at the opposite direction I think unless we solve the chronic health issues medically with That they're due to obesity, which I think we will if we continue to just have tons of obesity And let's say we never solve those issues the health issues Then what will happen is we'll evolve to a point where eating Lots of terrible food and not being active wouldn't be as harmful because all the people that at harms would die Not be able to reproduce and everybody else would be all that's the way we go But it would take I would take hundreds and hundreds of years to do that evolution doesn't happen interesting that quickly Anyway, so I came in this morning, right? to I was gonna well I worked out earlier, but I came in early because I dropped my son off at school and Doug is like, you know What is that on your shirt? I'm like, you never seen the Warriors. I can't believe Doug is never seen 70s I've never seen either. I just know of it. I've never you've never seen the Warriors So 1979 and the because the the actual in New York the Golden State Warriors. I think use the the whoa Don't they do like a yeah It's it's one of the best worst movies you've ever seen. Yeah. Yeah, I've never seen it I just know that I just know about it And I know that the Golden State Warriors use the chant that comes I know from you know How many hip-hop songs and pop culture like how many like lines and in sayings and phrases from that movie Really? Oh, yeah, all that can you dig it came from the Warriors, you know explain explain the premise of it again I kind of forget it's so I don't know what it is about bad movies, but they always have a cult following There's something about them, right? That has this class. So it's and you're wildly attracted to the I love I'm with you though. I like yeah Hey careful the cult They have a very very fanatical following I tell you what dude if you're with your buddies Smoke a joint watch this movie best time of your life if you you have to be high to watch You can't be sober So so this is how it is right so There's all these gangs in New York, right and you guys remember. What was that movie outsiders? Yeah, no not the outsiders That's actually a very that's a good movie. What's that movie? Doug it's a musical with gang side story side story. So that's another I won one a lot of awards And that depicted gangs and they'd sing and do their thing or whatever so yeah This is it's the Warriors is not a musical But it's it's it does kind of have a similar take in the sense that all these different gangs in New York They all have different themes Okay, so like like one gang is like the baseball theories and they dress like in baseball uniforms and they paint their face And they have baseball bats and then there's another gang called the riffs and they all practice kung-fu It's really weird bro like these weird the pimps There's another game called the pimps and they dress like pimps and they walk like So So it starts out with all these with the biggest gang in New York called the riffs Yeah holding a meeting and calling all the gangs of New York to meet and it's this big outdoor meeting and Cyrus is the name of the leader and he gets up and he does this speech and He talks about how if all the gangs just work together We would be able to rule New York. They don't have enough police and he's doing this and that and he that's the the line Like can you dig it? That's where it comes from and everybody's like, yeah I mean, it's pretty much what happened with the mafia, right? They took over New York there for a minute Yeah, so so he does the speech and then the leader of another gang shoots him so assassinates him so everybody sees him get assassinated and then they blame it on the warriors and the Warriors are a gang from Coney Island and So all of a sudden they're like oh shit everyone's after us so they they escape and the rest of the movie is they have to make it from New York City, I think it is to Coney Island through the subways and the streets and fight their way back So they fight all these gangs It's so good Are you sold or what you're writing home to watch this tonight, I know I'm curious Hey, I probably could get 10 minutes a 13-year-old Doug. It would have loved That's what I saw I was 13 I was like, this is the greatest thing and it's funny as they're fighting their way First of all the gangs are so dumb like one gang is called the orphans and they're like actually orphans It's so funny, but as they're going back There's this woman who is a radio host and she like reports for the rifts that big gang Yeah, and they just show her mouth on the mic and she's like all right, baby We got to get them for you like this like throughout the as they're fighting. She's like narrating and it's so cheesy Yeah, such reminds me of those breaking Movies the ones that everybody's break dance electric Boogaloo. Yeah, or breaking New York style or something Like they would just like we have these dance fights. Yeah, dude. That's a great movie. Dude. Yeah, that's It's like it's horribly Electric Boogaloo, I think yeah, man. Well, you gotta just appreciate different genres. You know, oh, it's so good There's a lot of bad movies that I used to really like you didn't have well rad rad is yours rad's a shitty movie How dare you? Like they live that's a shitty movie But it's awesome because it has like one liner quotes and you know, it's like every Arnold movie. Yeah It's terrible. The last dragon the last dragon was a great. You guys are watch the last dragon That sounds more familiar. It's a it's a kung-fu movie, but it's this black family and there's this this kid I think I've seen and his name his name is Bruce Leroy. Yeah I Said of Bruce Lee. Yeah, and he fights show enough show enough is the main dude Well, I've seen him like a hundred times each bro And then when he fights him he gets the glow because he gets like you make you make your son watch some of these and how Does that go over? We haven't seen some of these yet. Okay, but yeah, he's too young to smoke weed He'll watch it like what the hell no, I think I know I'll joking aside I think I'm for sure gonna introduce him now. He's 16. So I think maybe he'll like him speaking of sons Do my boy right now. It's it's so sad to see this is the first time so he's like a little over two now This is the first time I've watched him like fight a cold and what I mean like he's been sick, right? So he's got like and when he was a you know an infant He would get those normal infant colds for three or four days spiked to fever come down like But this is a for like he's been sick since last Wednesday And I feel so bad because I think it's the cold that you and I got when we flew from Arizona And I mean I have it lingering a little bit, but it's not bad. I don't even feel sick. I've been I've worked out since then like I just I don't feel but he is like it's fucking him up and everybody was tested for COVID. Yeah Everyone in my house. Yeah, so it's not that it's but the cold got him really bad And he's good in the day like we're you know, he's playing outside and he's fine doesn't seem that bad But at night time he can't breathe and here and you'll hear him like all congested and then you'll hear him like gasping for air It's like the scariest thing ever man listen to you. Oh, dude There's nothing worse than when your kid's sick because you can't do anything What can you do and he never he did he's such a good kid like he never cries wines and stuff like that And he's you can tell he feels so bad because he just he'll oh And I'm just like oh buddy, dude. I feel so bad And it feels worse because I know I gave it to him. I was like, oh, dude You know and I shouldn't have been touching him or kissing him. I was like, I'm not that bad He's not gonna get it that bad. I had the weak immune system of the three of us I thought I would get the worst and but Katrina and him have been fucked up this last week, dude It's if mom gets sick is yeah It's usually if mom gets it then the kid gets it really bad Especially if she's breastfeeding like if she didn't get it and she was breastfeeding that she would have passed on Antibodies and then they wouldn't get it. Oh, yeah, because nobody nobody in my house got it Wow, really. Yeah, Jessica didn't get it. The baby didn't get it. Katrina. No normally doesn't get it Dude, she's seems invincible and she has a way stronger immune system than I do But she got it and she got it worse both her and him got it worse than what I had you and I had like this little Light I barely knew ahead anything. That's how I felt. Yeah, I was like for a minute there. I was like, is it my allergies? I don't know what this is but And that's why I think I didn't stress about it because I was like, oh, it's so mild It's not gonna but hit them both yeah I wonder how bad and weak people's immune systems are right now as they're starting to go back out into the world because They definitely expose themselves less to pathogens around purpose, right? So we purposely did that but I wonder if that means we're gonna have like a really bad Cold and flu season. Yeah, I get everything else is gonna get pounded Yeah, what when is the official like cold and flu season start, you know when that is February the peak is February. I think it's starting to kick in now and part of it I believe is because peak kids are in school and usually that means that we start to see it ramp up Because there was a lot of theories that this we were gonna see a really shitty winter coming, right? Yeah, between COVID and everything like that Like you said everybody being indoors and not outside getting sunlight like everybody's immune system Everybody's gonna be weakened everybody's way fatter I told you guys about those that the now the reports on on obesity among kids is way Crazy it accelerated at twice at twice the speed so October. Yeah, so next month. Yeah, see so right about now It starts to hit or or soon next two weeks. Yeah, it'll start to this is the best weather though Oh, yeah, it's already turning into fall. This is my favorite time of the year. Yeah I love October November time right now. Yeah, just stays all nice and hot and warm And and it's best time for sports, dude Yeah, you got football and full swing right now basketball fire up in November like or even in October is when everybody like in Sankers goes down to the beaches because not a lot of people know like how nice it is like this assume It's the summer, but it's just like dude is when you go because in the water still kind of warm You know over the summer warmed up and then it's like dude perfect weather You know how you know how backwards I had that forever You just would assume that because it's in here over here in San Jose. It's like, you know, 99 degrees in July overcast over there Yeah, it's just not as nowhere near it and then right now like you said everybody starts going Oh, it's winters getting ready to come or falls here or whatever So they no one's going out the beach to get the beach to yourself and it's the best one yesterday was the Warmest day we've had all year at our place 79 degrees over the weekend We were up we were up on my brothers to see his new baby and he's in half-moon Bay Gorgeous day it was gorgeous over the weekend up there Like you're like eight like low mid mid to low 80s nice little breeze and it was absolutely beautiful It is really nice out there. It's funny. He's got a little you know his son is Angelo he's two months old and he just looks it looks like my brother's clone so weird to see is like I'm looking at this baby I'm like, oh my god, bro He looks exactly like isn't the theory on that like if the baby takes on one pair or another that you have stronger genes Is that what the is that the prevailing theory on that or I don't know? Because there's so many genes there's genes for eyes and face and skin, but then there's genes for personality and well And they kind of change if I swear they kind of change it more from like really looking like you to then you know looking like my wife That's how I felt there's been times where people are like. Oh, he's max is a hundred percent his mom nothing of you He's looking more like you now well then I get that then I'll get other people like oh my god He looks like you know what he looks a lot like you as his eyes Yeah, as you're like, you know how you look like you have eyeliner on all the time. Yeah, no, I mean Chris angel. Yeah, no, he's got that. He's got that too He's got that and he is big right have big round eyes brown eyes and he has the long eyelashes So he definitely has my son my oldest fat cheeks. He's got he's got the cheese. Yeah, that's cute My oldest son for weeks look like his mom Like forever and then as he got older and started going through puberty started looking more and more like me But when he was little it's all I ever heard. Oh, you look so much like your mom Yeah, you look nothing like your dad. Okay, it even happens later because I used to so growing up Everybody said I was a spitting image of my mom and then now as I'm in my as I got into my 30s Everyone was like, oh my god, you look just like your father. Look so it'll it just keeps doing that, right? So I mean I was spitting image of my mom growing up and then now nobody thinks I look anything like my mom I look everything like my dad. Yeah, your face is going to masculinize as you go through as you get testosterone As a male, so of course you'll start to look more like yeah, I'm talking about what I'm 30 though I was 20 everyone still thought when you were 20. Yeah. Yeah when I was 20 everyone still thought I looked just like my mom for it wasn't until I started like get my hair thinning Do some great hair looking to hold her so that they're like, oh shit. You look just like you're dead Happen later, but yeah, when your kids are sick, that's a war. That's absolute war I remember the first time so obviously my oldest was my first so this is when I first experienced it But he was I want to say year and a half maybe two and it was the first time he really got sick And he had pneumonia and I remember when he was little I Used to love to play with trains so we get him Thomas the train He had this big train table and he'd always be out there playing every single day all the time Well, I remember we're sitting down and it was the first time he just sat next to me and watched TV for like Three hours and just didn't move and his little cheeks were red because he had a fever and I those I know Oh, dude, it was one of the first times I cried for I think you definitively know that time like yeah The first time they actually were real sick like for me. It was it was actually on Ethan's birthday It was like his fifth birthday. I think and we're up in Tahoe to snow We're all there to enjoy the snow and everything and he just Had like some stomach flu and was just puking like the whole time That's the first time he ever even puked and I was just like Sleeping, you know in the same room the whole night because I'm like, oh, no You know, I can't believe you sick You ever have your kid wake you up in the middle of night like you hear the quiet like on your door And you're like, yeah dad and you open the doors like throw up on them. I threw up. Yeah, fuck What do I do I always like whenever that happened to me I was always confused for like 15 minutes I don't know what to do Just Did you guys hear the report from the FDA on Chantix are you guys familiar with the drug Chantix? No. Oh, I've seen okay So there was a video with I think it's Kyle Dunnigan. He did a spoof Like with Bill Maher like doing a commercial for Chantix or no, it was the guy from Good fellas, what's that guy's name anyway, right? Yeah. Yeah, Ray Leota. So he did a funny video like with him like Is it something about like trying to get you off of cigarettes? I tried everything to quit smoking cocaine Everything nothing worked then I tried fucking Chantix Okay, so that's what Chantix has been prescribed for so right FDA approved drug been around now for a little while Yeah, and you take it and it affects the nicotine the receptors that nicotine attaches to so it makes you not want to smoke So it's been prescribed for a while. Well, guess what just happened. What was really weird because an FDA approved drugs So I don't know how this happened They're pulling it completely off because it causes cancer. Oh shit. It's been connected to cancer So they're starting there. They're Doug. Maybe you can pull up an article on it Yeah, dude, so you off the cancer sticks to put you on How fucked up you go off cigarettes dude because of cancer and then you take something that's way less fun now The idea is that it pairs with the receptor and is it that mean like so? Let's say I'm taking this Chantix and I decide to smoke is it Effect is it keep it from pairing to those receptors and so I don't get the same feeling Or does it make me feel nauseous because it doesn't and that makes me not want to smoke like how What's the mechanism that makes you not want to smoke that's a good That's a good because what I'm the reason why I'm asking is what I'm wondering is you know Did people keep smoking because they're like, oh this chance is supposed to keep the nicotine from pairing to receptors So I'm just gonna keep smoking. That's a good question. I don't know I wonder if that is where where this could be coming from. Well, no, so the nicotine So here's the thing nicotine in Cigarettes and tobacco isn't the bad thing. No, it's all the other shit. Yeah nicotine, you know Is it good or bad for you? I mean, it's kind of neutral. It's considered a new tropic, right? Yeah And it was a Pfizer product Is it Pfizer owns Chantix? Yes, Doug. Can you can you forget the can you look up just a news article? Not not the what the FDA says see what the news articles are saying About it. Yeah voluntary approved cancer risk. Yeah, it's cancer. There's a carcinogen presence. Wow. It is Pfizer, huh? Yeah, so now here's the deal. Is it the Chantix itself or is there something in the the tablets or something? That has a car that's a carcinogen. That's the thing that I'm not sure about because the article makes it look like It might be something in the drug. That's not necessarily the drug itself. Mm-hmm. Is that what's going on? I don't know. Do you know the history of Pfizer at all? No, you know like now I got built and who owns it and all that shit like that like how do you they all have a shady past though If you dig deep yeah, I like bear. Yeah, bear like that real shady pass. Yeah, bear Look it up and Monsanto. Yeah, some of the worst history Monsanto was an agent orange. Yeah, they made agent orange What does it say Doug? It didn't did Monsanto and bear pair partner up for something then they partner up and create a product too I believe they may have merged. Yeah, they merged one of them bought the other one I think so. I think maybe Monsanto bought bear I'm not sure. I love to look that up. Old companies get together. I can't be good dude So Chantix has high levels of cancer-causing agents called Nitrosamines if I'm saying that correct me. Nitrosamines. Nitrosamines. Wow. Wow, isn't that great? I just wondered what a what a terrible. Okay, so hold on a second. How pissed off would you be? I know that's wrong. Like can you sue like where are you at with this if you or somebody who was smoking cigarettes like crazy You decided to get on this Chantix to stop that because your kids have all pressured you dad You're gonna die because you're gonna have cancer because you smoke all these cigarettes. Okay I'm I've committed to this thing then you get this and then you find out that this could cause cancer or does cause cancer You can't because well, they're doing a recall of it So so you you would have to prove that Pfizer knew this and Hit it or didn't tell anybody because they went through the regulatory process. So what do you do sue the FDA? Good luck with that. So, you know, what what's the deal? It happens when you get Time to go on and you can see like how a lot of these things play out and that's I think you know It's it's good to be Well, how yeah, how long was Chantix in it like the whole process to become legal, right? So for it to get FDA approved a long time Yeah, I thought it was like ten years. It's a long process for ten years They had that product going and they this never came about it wasn't until they got it out to the masses tons of people and then We find out that this could cause cancer or has caused cancer. Yeah, and again How mad would you be because you of your you're avoiding an enjoyable thing that gives you cancer for something That is not enjoyable. That gives you cancer. What a shitty trade That was way more fun than this face Yeah, so you look at deal. So Bayer is paying 66 billion for months on though. So they had back a while back Yeah, no, I think we actually talked about this on the show years ago At least I remember I think I watched a documentary on this whole thing about the two of them getting together And I believe they got together and I want to say like do they who owns who owns um What's the fucking spray they got all kinds of trouble? What's the Monsanto owns that right? Glyphosate roundup. Thank you. Look brain fart there. Yeah. Yeah, so they own that company too, right? Yeah, so they had agent orange roundup and then Bayer was also I think involved with creating gas for the chambers Bayer made the gas All part of the chemical warfare Where's cancel culture when you need them? How the fuck have they not been cancelled? I don't understand How they've not been cancelled? I have no idea. We've got people that can't say certain words They said three years ago. You know, I had just put a flag up and they're like, hey, we're good You know, you know what it is is that cancel culture is being wielded by uh by media Well, that's what I'm the wield then that's what I'm saying right now It's just like we're out here canceling somebody who's said some some Something on an interview 10 years ago, right, but you're not gonna. Yeah, but you're not gonna cancel this company cancel the most Horrific like history even heard of by the way, and I'm not yeah, I'm not agreeing with cancel culture either I'm just saying like come get your priorities. Fuck it straight. Yeah, exactly Finger fish to fry. Look at the what's his name. Uh, is it the prime minister of canada? Justin Trudeau I don't know if he's a prime minister. So look at this guy Do you know how many pictures there are of him in blackface? Yeah blackface blackface literally If you put on if you had blackface and you had pictures taken of you You would be eviscerated on social media, right? It's like a racist everybody agrees upon that, right? This guy's done it like five times. Who who is this? Justin Trudeau? He's like prime minister. He's like the darling of you know of the that left political party in canada. Like good looking You know virtues. He's the guy that's radical up there with him. Yeah, like he won't say like man hole He'll say like person hole just because he wants to try and be like he's an idiot, right? My opinion. I think he's the most fake virtue signaling person of all time Totally gets a person totally gets a pass for blackface like and has done it you can literally find pictures of this guy Yeah, where there he is See it's happening again. Look at that picture Hey, one day ago. This is circulating right now Yeah, now what they're they're trying to use it against him and we'll see what happens, but it's not the first time This guy, don't you feel that every political person that gets a position has yes They've got they they make sure they get in by having some kind of that's how I feel too I think there's like the what's that like the skulls like an underground media of all of them And they all have like take pictures of them doing something that like is like you ever get out This is coming out. Oh, yeah, that's never mess with us. We're throwing this out. That's the theory behind I could get on with the conspiracy. That was the whole that was the whole theory behind that thing. That's just logical Yeah, exactly. That's how I thought it's not conspiracy people in positions of power. That's just that's a chess move Well, didn't they say that Epstein's island, right? His little weird, you know island or whatever that there were rooms with hidden cameras and stuff Yeah, and the theory is that he would bring very powerful People, politicians, celebrities Then they'd have sex with underage girls and do terrible shit They'd have this this film on them and then now they got you by the balls There's this whole actually it's a pretty cool. Eli actually turned me on to it's like uh unaudible Uh the the interviews that this this journalist Um gathered and like did recordings with Epstein and so they get really Uh deep into like how much of a mastermind and manipulator he was With everybody like just you know what he would do and to the extent he had this whole System that he would apply to gain their trust and then literally and deliberately You know throw him under the bus and then extort money from them and and he was just like a master manipulator No wonder the clinton's just blackmailed for everybody. Yeah, he killed himself Well, why what happened with that like we don't that just kind of got covid came and we just kind of literally the Craziest shit of all time. It was like one of the craziest stories ever None of these people in power want any of that to get out disappeared. Yeah, it's like no one's talking about Like where's the girl at where's she at? Is she in prison right now? Or is she not in prison? When's that trial start? Yeah, I want to hear that trial. I think it was in In process and then they got they bought more time somehow and like uh, she was able to like you know What's going to extend it further and again a year or two no one's going to even pay attention Keep extending it and then it'll all of a sudden just disappear like I don't even hear anybody asking questions about it anymore Just get kind of now. What's the over under on her suiciding? Well, I mean, I thought for sure it already happened But I don't think so now now I think the strategy you're gonna make it that strategy is what Justin say right now They'll just keep pushing the court date out. It'll be something in two years Covid will be on its you know, 15th different strain or variant now Everyone will be talking about what's going on in the world. No one will be talking about that 100% and she'll get to live because there's not gonna be any there's no reason to kill her There's so many things on the page You know, there's so many things the news would be concerned about it's just like oh Yeah, whatever, you know what so it is in them. It is in the news. Doug just pulled her up But the problem is that the world has gone so crazy That may I swear to god you have to be It has to be the craziest news to make it to the front page or to go viral right just like the alien stuff, Justin Yeah Government comes out. It's like, yeah, you know, there's probably aliens and we've been following UFOs for a while and nobody cares What? Nobody cares. Yeah, it's coming from like the pentagon. You're just like what what is wrong with everybody I feel like that's that that's the government testing to see how much of a foothold they have with this whole code thing It's like, let's throw some crazy shit out. Let's see It's just like they're falling asleep. Don't worry. They're falling asleep Lizard people may be real Nobody said anything. I think we can keep yeah, we're good now We got him. We got him Hey, speaking of crazy stuff. I learned something today, Adam that this fucking killed me hilarious. What? Okay, so, you know, Doug You know, Doug buys domain names every once in a while. You're bringing this up when we talk on the show about something Yeah, okay. Yeah, okay, so this actually relates back to us talking about your, you know, alluring eyes Yeah, so this this is The only people who know what i'm talking about are people who've listened to our show Since the beginning because we haven't said this in a long time. Okay, Doug bought the domain a long time ago Wait for it. Poon dot com Do you really own that? Yeah, I see like nine dollars a month to keep that. No a year a year. Uh, yes Well, you got to understand back in the day when this show was a little crazier That was actually an idea that was tossed out because it came up in the show, right? Wait a minute. Can you imagine that it came up in the show? Wait a minute. Hold on. Hold on. I think I think Doug's right. I think at one point it was You guys were start you were calling me that right? Poon whisperer And we I think it I think this was one of your ideas. I'm gonna at least I'm gonna blame it on you No, hold on. I don't remember any business idea I think that you told Doug that maybe it could come like a segment like it Oh, we could do like a segment where you know, Adam talks about this relationship advice. Yeah We have a whole list of crazy ideas that have come up over the years You know what though? Hold on a second. That is a pretty brilliant idea. I think I And we own the domain so that's great. Have you gone through like how many domains we gotta make a website We own dozens of domains. Yeah, some which will never be used Yeah, so there'll be a second. If I get lucky though one day somebody's like, you know Some poon whisperer writes a freaking best-selling novel and he needs that You know, hey, they'll be like for a hundred grand all of a sudden like sexy music will play and the camera will go on you They'll be like a border around your face Today's advice from the poon whisperer Katrina's so happy we're gone those days And so I remember I used to come home from work every day. She said, why do you have to be the douchebag of the three guys? Like somebody has to yeah You're the best that I've nominated you. I wouldn't have been good. I was the best at convincing her that we needed to do Honey, somebody has to be this guy. We're like you're kind of single Somebody's gotta represent Yeah, I cannot believe that actually owns a domain Where are you guys like leaning over his computer when he did that would he do that come up? No How did that come up? I don't remember how that even came up You said you owned it. I said something and then you said we own this I don't remember we were talking about like old episodes. I think and then that sort of just made its way to the I remember I can't say it is mind-blowing to me that and I guess we I mean we have quite a few podcast friends And I don't know anybody else that that shares that It's still crazy and I remember when we were doing this and we were like in episode four or five hundred And we're like, dude, would you believe that people start and then they go back and they listen to every single episode? We're now what are we 16 1700 deep or something like that? That still happens all the time today. That is crazy. Yeah, I'll get someone who dms me and they're like Yeah, I've been catching up. I'm on 300 and something like that. I'm like, oh my god, bro Just go to the where we're at now It's so much better than so many hours to get through But you know what like you got it like so much love and respect for somebody who does that because The appreciation you have to have to to go back and listen to that garbage. I sure as hell hope like they see They see us get better. You know, like they see that transformation I know could you imagine you you get someone they start all the way over and then they're like get 400 One of us said something they're like, oh my god, I'm done. Let's see. Oh Actually, you see somebody brought up about when we had this discussion about social media and like What kind of impact that was going to have Like we had our own little predictions about it and then to see that now the current state of How we're all basically held hostage by all these stupid social We should go back and listen media warriors if our predictions came right Yeah, did you guys see the thread that's on the the private forum right now? The the best tips from my brother. Did you guys read through that thread? I read through some of it It was really good. Yeah, there's some really good ones on there. There's some really funny one There's one that I forgot that I even talked about. I don't even know how it came up I think Justin was actually talking about Courtney and how she is all anal with the dishes or something like that and he was all frustrated And I said that's how I am like I get really frustrated when katrina doesn't put the silverware In like all the forks go in this part of the dishwasher all those spoons. Yeah, and then when they're washed you put Yeah, hella people said that that was like a life changing about like You want to know something? That's how I do it now. Oh, yeah, me too. Oh, shit. Yeah Oh, that makes me feel so good right now. Most influential thing you've ever said. Yes, I think so That's the value 20 years of personal training like hey, you know what I fucking put my forks different At your funeral one day Adam really changed my life He must have shaved years off of dishwashing. Yeah, I was more time spent with my family. No kidding Neither one of you guys did that and then after that, huh? Yeah, you know, I wish I remember When and when I started doing that or who I'm sure I obviously I learned it from somebody else, but Uh, yeah, once you do it one time, you realize, oh my god Why why did I ever just throw them in there before if I could just discipline myself to put them all in the same place? When you undo it, it's like Because that's one of the worst parts about putting dishes away, right? I don't know about you guys's house But like you washing dishes is not a big deal But if the dishwasher is clean and full there's like this who's gonna unload it, you know Nobody wants to unload it. It's like and part of that I know is because the silverware. That's the worst part Yeah, taking the silverware out takes the longest out of all the dishes. I hate pots and pans, dude Oh, yeah, yeah, fuck that shit. Oh, you mean washing them. Yeah, yeah, of course Yeah, you were never a dishwasher though. Were you did you ever wash dishes as a job? Oh, yeah, I did I mean, I did you yeah, I did all kinds of shitty jobs. So here's what I didn't like it Here's what I want to know and it still hasn't happened. I don't understand this Uh, if you've ever washed dishes in a restaurant They have the legit dishwasher. It's literally you you slide shit in there and I could put in this huge like spray thing Bro, I could put a whole I could put a roast beef on a plate in there Yeah, it'll clean that shit up. You shove it in there. You put everything in there. I know where you're going with this Why haven't they put that in houses? Yeah, you close both doors You hit the button and literally it takes 10 minutes. It doesn't matter how you arrange it I'm pretty sure that those are like $50,000 dishwashers. Is that why? Yeah Yeah, I'll buy one Most people are like, should we put a two car garage on the house or should we get a fucking dishwasher you want to get? Dude, it cleans the shit out of stuff But then again, uh, I used to have there was this huge when I used to look that up I want to go to commercial dishwashers. I've been it's really expensive. Probably. Yeah I used to what I I washed is my first job, right? So I was at a pizzeria and then every once in a while they would make the sauce In this huge like it's like as tall as dug right this huge metal pot And the bottom always Would have burnt sauce and they'd give it to me and be like, here you go, sal And there was no other way to take it off then literally chipping it off little by little So I'd be like all just it would take an hour. You know what I do that that here's another, you know Cleaning dish tip tip for you guys. I just didn't know where your pots I almost rarely ever cook in a normal pot or pan I almost always iron skillet because iron skillet you used you use the the Oh, he's a chain mail thing to yeah, and that thing. I mean you do that on there chain mail. Yeah, it's like steel wool It's not steel wool. It's not wool. You're getting medieval on that thing. Yeah, it's like it's like more like chain mail No, I think it's steel wool. That's what it is. I let you get away with that Pull that up It's not wool pull it up Doug I know what steel wool is. Oh, man. Oh, dude. I'm getting but I forgot to tell you guys. Oh, wow. Look at that Oh, wow, that's it No way for grand what? Okay, I'm getting that four grand.

So I actually really liked her I was like, oh, she's sweet. But what I realized now she's oh, she's just nosy She's the nosy neighbor who comes over all the time and she came. Well, yeah, I hope she's fucking listening to this And she came over. I just thought it was so I thought it was so rude. It's like first of all I it was I just got the eight my atv back. I literally first gear. I was not Acting like a kid and run around. I literally wanted to take it around the block one time to make sure that it was running I just paid for what she said. She just came over and made a big deal about like that Literally the the second time the second day like you're not supposed to do that type of deal. Well, yeah, I mean, it's loud It's really loud. So I 100% and I'm aware of that It would be super annoying if someone was doing that at nine o'clock at night or five in the morning Or I was Driving around the block all the time on the street, which it's not for it's a far off road But I mean, I yeah, it was like it was like I literally wrote on time And she was like is this going to become like a regular thing and I'm like no, she didn't yeah, she did And I'm like, uh, no, I said I'll probably take this to my other house I just got it back from a shop and I just want to make sure it was running. Okay, but it's like Midday like two o'clock in the afternoon one time around the block takes me 20 seconds You should have said yes I you know, I was like I was trying to be nice, but I was really annoyed by bothering me all day long Katrina's like, why are you so upset? I was like my neighbor right now Like I really liked everybody now. I don't like this chick because she came over and did that to me Yeah, it's yeah, it's I thought I was being considerate. Are you gonna ask me about things? I know I should have been a regular thing should have been a small house like that Yeah, I had this guy randomly just like show up In my backyard and was like walking through And like dogs are going crazy and everything at the new place. Yeah new place This is my first impression some guy down the street So he had a house that was like not necessarily up against My property, but like he was trying to find his way through and his excuse was like Oh, I just wanted to see like how I could go through here and then get to the Trail and all this stuff and I'm like, well, why are you barging through my backyard, dude? He just like he's like, oh, I'm there. I have this house down there. I'm like, uh, so should I just blaze through your house? You know like I don't understand what's happening. You're gonna put up a fence or something. Yeah. Yeah I'm just like now. I'm just getting electric fence like Sound like a bunch of angry old guys I see I thought I was being super considerate and she was all snarky and stuff And then I also, you know calling a toy. It's not a fucking toy. She said that. Yeah So I see you got an I see you got a new toy. I'm like, no, it's like 10 years old I said, you know, your toy is just as loud. I hear you use that shit Because your husband can't do his job Your house vibrates a little You know what I'm saying? Yeah, this sound just takes it to another level. Yeah Dude, so I gotta tell you guys, uh, my entire Hope you fall and break your hip Yeah Hey, so I want to tell you guys that uh, so remember I told you my dad was using ned Now my mom's using ned because the capsules right because she it's easier for her to take. She loves it Yeah, now my aunt's using it. Wow. I'm starting to get that whole generation. You've been a great drug dealer I'm telling you dude. Yeah, I miss you calling No, they like it because everybody they're using it and they're and it makes them feel this is why my mom says Now what's your aunt? I know what your dad's his back back your mom was like calm her down Is that what anxious and so she gets she's she can have some anxiety And she's normally on let's she'll take other you know anxiety things or whatever She's reduced them because of that. So she feels really good. She takes that night. She sleeps really good My other aunt same reason. So they like the way they feel Just call her and everything my my mom's husband just started. So he is a 30 35 year recovering alcohol. So 35 years. He's been clean sober or more than that. No drugs. No alcohol. No nothing, right? Has anything like that sounds boring and he just retired And like the very first thing that and she he's got lots of anxiety and My mom had been telling him about the the sleep product the ned stuff And so he's first time in 30 years. He's touched anything, right? So he couldn't even take because even that like I by the way people ask us on the time all the time is Uh, they it will pick up some of if you're regularly Drunk tested it can pick up the thc. It's not likely but it can and so like I know that ned has this a very very sensitive test Right. Yeah, so because it is legal in all 50 states. It's hemp. It's yeah, it's got low enough thc It's totally legal But if you have a job where they're super strict and you're using that on a regular basis It could show up on a test and so you normally tell me so anyways because of that He hasn't he's been wanting to try it for ever But he just retired like a month ago and so now he's been and he's been it's been like likes it Yeah, because the doctor had him on all kinds of other medications to help him sleep and bring his anxiety down And he's been able to wing off that completely. Wow. Wow. That's huge. Yeah, that's I didn't think about that till you told me Sorry, that was one of the big reasons why they thought Just cannabis legalization to begin with Was a lot of pharma companies, you know what it shows it shows reduced opiate usage reduced usage of Anxiety medications So of course pharma companies are like, uh, we don't want, you know, these products to come out because we'll sell less products We'll sell less of our medications Of course So that was one of the big the big speaking of our our sponsors, you know, these these path water bottles These these aluminum cam bottles, man, they are I mean I this morning I had one in my car And they're because it's aluminum. It's aluminum, right? So it's fully recyclable refillable But when this thing is full man, I could throw this through my window if I want I like the taste of safety. Yeah, the aluminum better than plastic because you know, it's just like it If it's cold enough with plastic and can't get away with it But like the the aluminum keeps the flavor of it a lot better too. It does. No, it's amazing I mean, they're so hard. I have it in my car. I'm like, man, if I did you know that So when we I don't know if you guys were there, I think dud was there Did I think I remember him telling me that their goal is actually to start getting those little Refill stations all over. Yeah, so is that the plan at some schools? I believe is that right? It's okay. That's why I thought that was in my son's school. Oh, they have he has a what? Yeah, no way Yeah, so they tell take a picture of that. I want to see what they sell path water there Yeah in the bottles and then they have refill stations So it's like obviously better for the environment plus aluminum is Almost a hundred percent recyclable a lot of people don't realize this but plastic bottles. They say recycle But it's like 10% or not even yeah Yeah, I remember him I remember when we were first talking to him that they were saying that I had no idea Yeah, so aluminum is way way better and then of course these are reusable So if you save the bottle, it's like you have a bottle that you can fill up all the time and not throw away so many Because a lot of people don't realize that like That is a big problem So I'm old enough to remember when bottled water was not have that. Yeah, nobody had bottled water Actually, if you had bottled water in your house, you were like super bougie You know what I mean like did they even have any? Yeah avian or parietre, you know or whatever That was it. So I I do not even remember bottled water being so I remember you could get uh, alhambra I remember out here shipped in from yeah, I do remember you could get alhambra, but uh, yeah That was what rich people did rich people had the alhambra bottles And then that made its way into the offices, you know, so everybody meet around the water We drink at the hose Doug. What is the water history? I feel like you should know this You've seen a lot. Sorry. I'm not really up to date on that Do you remember the evolution of that because I mean, I remember drinking out of a hose Yeah, I did the same thing too, which I think is very unhealthy, especially when it's been sitting out in the hot sun Tastes like plastic. Uh, no, I remember when water started going coming in bottles And I just thought how ridiculous you're paying for water. Are you kidding me? It's free Dude, this is I could get myself a diet coke instead, you know We were talking about this because like we never were allowed water at practice when we were like In the heat and all this because no, you know, like you're being a pussy, right? It's like, dude, I just want water Right, it's oh fine And then so what they did which was like they they stuck a hose to like some PVC pipes and like poked holes And we're all like trying to fight each other That's how like get some water dude. Like we're animals. Is it not like that still that's how it was for me It's not like that Literally the exact same thing you just had a garden hose goes right into a thing that comes up It's a what like we called it a water trough, right? And it and it's PVC pipe and there's just I felt like water string shoot out and then the players just run up And we had a time we had like a short window like you got like one minute. I'm like Trying to get as much as 12 15 kids could get water at the same time like that way That's exactly how they did it I thought it was like that still I had no idea now now if you now if you raise your voice a little bit No, your mom's gonna come talk to you because you raise your what you're my son The other day said that you kind of got loud with him. We're mid game. Can I go to the bathroom coach? No Go on your pants Look a man Get back out there be a man. How is that guys? He's still growing the be a man. I love that page He came out of nowhere be a man. He's done. He's doing like some stand-up now too. I believe Oh, really? Yeah, do you guys remember the the p troths at bars? They don't you don't see these anymore, do you? Oh, yeah, you know i'm talking about like stadiums. They still do. Oh, they still do. It's a big tub Can I just tell you that everybody just pees in it such a formative part of like a boy like boys experience right so like Girls did not have to No go through this We would have to go with like, I don't know how many hundreds of dudes all at once like, you know All together we we have one break, you know during like the seventh inning or something And we're all in the bathroom together. There's huge trough. There's no wall In sixth grade camp that they had a a circular water trough like that. I'll never forget how Traumatized I was as a kid sixth grade. You're still nervous and shy about other people seeing your dick, right? And you had to go from the shower right which was already like nerve-wracking for a sixth grade kid That's their whole italic. Yes, you know, you have you have to hang it up before you get to the shower Which means you do this and then you put your shampoo bottle. Yeah hide your little winky to go over to the shower Then you shower and then in the in the middle they have this 50 year old man Just like right next to this big round. Yeah, no, there's like a teacher in the quarter of timing It's three minutes three minutes of shower, you know, oh next number five get out get out like that So you come out and then they had this big water circular Yes With some kid and you got another kid across the way from you. It's like it was so embarrassed They did that on purpose to like normalize all that shit at that age, but I remember I was terrified of that Yeah, well, this is why this is how you learn that was horrible idea This is how you learn to to look down or look into space. This is what you learn somewhere else. Yeah, because Get me out of this. You created alternate personality. Yeah, how did you get split personality disorder? I had to pee in a fucking circular trough. I had to I had to go somewhere else Yeah, a lot of people can't even I had a buddy and when we were in high school He couldn't he couldn't pee in public at all if there was one of us around like he just couldn't do it Like he'd have to go off and do his own thing. That's what I found out. Like some people aren't circumcised What is that? That's how I found out too. Yeah, I was like, what's wrong with his dick? There's things happening elsewhere. Why does it look like that? The percentage of that is dramatically going way down Yeah, you know way down when we were kids. I think it was elephant trunk Yeah, when we were kids and he was 80 to 90 percent of kids were circumcised circumcised now It's like almost 50 50, right? It's around 50 50 or yeah, I did not know that. I know that's crazy. I know. Yeah Hey real quick, I hope you're enjoying the show.

So I don't have to suck it in all the time I think of that commercial right away. What's the one where the you guys remember that commercial The guy sucks it in the two guys. Yeah, I think the pool and like a girl And then they relax. Yeah, what was that? What was that commercial for? I think it was a beer commercial, wasn't it? Yeah, I feel like it was a good light or something. All right step one be lean Okay, can you anything about body fat around your belly? So obviously you got to be lean step one Step two. Here's one. Nobody ever considers Avoid foods that you may have intolerances to because that will make your belly distend It'll cause blow and so many people I used to have so many clients That accepted this as a part of life that they didn't realize that this is not supposed to happen, right? You're not supposed to After a meal, you're not supposed to sit back like, you know And I thought this was normal too because my grandfather my dad everybody, right? They'd eat a big-ass bowl of pasta Big bunch of bread with sauce whatever at the end of dinner They're both sitting back unbutton their jeans. You gotta take like two belt loops off. Yeah Yeah, and my grandfather used to do this He'd come over and be like he'd hit the side of his belly and be like look how hard it is It's all muscle. That's not supposed to happen. You're not supposed to bloat like that So you're probably eating something that you're intolerant to So pay attention to the food you're eating you should feel after you eat fine You should not feel any blow and that makes a big big difference All right. Now let's talk about exercises, right? The that's the part everybody's interested in what exercises can I do? You can definitely train your abs and your obliques But those muscles aren't really responsible for bringing in the midsection In fact, when you suck in your midsection the muscle that you're using is called the tva right the transverse abdominis This muscle is like a weight belt around your body and simply doing what are called vacuum poses Which is similar to sucking in your stomach except you're really bringing it in as hard as you can And squeezing for time that'll strengthen the muscle that brings everything in and if you want to add resistance Not really many ways you could do it other than getting on all four So that gravity adds a little bit of resistance and gives you a little bit more tension when you pull it in I want to I want to stress the the diet thing again because something that And I didn't know this until I got to a place where I was really really lean but to notice this But I think there's a lot of people that eat foods That inflame them and retain water and they don't even realize it because it's not bad enough to cause any like crazy symptoms Where they have maybe diarrhea or they have stomach cramping or they see But that's like one of the first things you see is just like bloat like you get you get a little bit of bloat or water retention going on And sometimes it's just subtle enough that you don't really notice it except for that Oh, I feel like I just can't ever see my abs or get lean enough And so I would actually do like an elimination diet or assess someone because I've seen that too Where I've taken a client figured out what the offender is and then get rid of it And then that alone already makes their stomach flat all the time without even doing any ab work or getting any leaner Just simply assessing what foods they could be eating that could be causing the problem It's not like a humongous factor But I have also noticed too just how people like hold themselves in posture when they're standing up And I I would always kind of talk to Courtney about this too because she was getting that problem Like oh, I just feel like so, you know fat today or whatever You know and typically it was because like her posture was just like off and in her hips to in her The way that she had this this excessive arch You know really didn't Put her in a position where it felt like, you know Her stomach was flat and she was presenting herself well And once we started working on that and just like noticing that it was You know a lot different and then on top of that the bloat Both those things in combination Really, you know reduced that visual look of like I feel like I'm like loose and flat I actually think that's a great point and even more common than you're saying A strong anterior tilt. Yeah, I have an anterior pelvic tilt. That is exactly even when I'm lean I still kind of push my stomach out because it's it's so excessive and working on that Flattened the stomach out because you think you the hips rotate out like this pushes the stomach Yeah pushes the stomach forward So even if you get lean you always kind of have the the stomach kind of going out like this where By you getting the hips in the right in the right position or neutral It kind of lines up the spine and makes you look the stomach look a lot flatter So that actually is more common than I think you think and between that And maybe eating something because I imagine there's somebody who's asking this question Isn't somebody who's 60 pounds overweight? I mean because I think the answer is like, yeah Yeah, I think you're aware of this is normally people who are like man Adam, I feel like I'm in pretty good shape But I still have this kind of pooch going on right here and I can't ever seem to see my abs And a lot of times that's either the bloat like we're talking about or what you're Saying just right now is the you know your hips and your your pelvic tilt that's caught pushing the stomach out And this is like when people will fast for a day and be like, oh my god My stomach's so flat and it's because they didn't eat the food That causes the bloat the most common foods that cause bloat in people and this isn't everybody It's just the most common ones right gluten containing foods dairy is the other one And then some people do this just from lots of carbohydrates Gluten for me really does this big time now And now here's a funny thing beer right people say oh beer belly Beer is a gluten containing alcohol. So you've got the alcohol plus the gluten Yes, double whammy and if you have an intolerance to gluten And you drink beer you may notice you get this, you know bloat another side of this might be you is If you're somebody who sees such a drastic difference between uh going to bed and then waking up in the morning Yes, right so after that's all been digested and kind of gone through and stuff without inflammation comes down You wake up and it's like whoa like night and day difference your stomach's really flat in the morning But then after as soon as you start eating foods today, it's not like that anymore If that's a really extreme difference This is also another sign that this is probably what your your issue is related to diet more so than it is Exercise or not quite being lean enough All right next question is from bravo davis 90 How much of a factor is time under tension in relation to building muscle? Say I use the same weight, but were to do 10 fast reps or six slow reps for exactly the same time Each set and for the same amount of sets. What do you think would build more muscle? Yeah, so the difference is actually point seven six five Thank you for being very specific. Yeah, no you're um, uh, uh I swear to god people really split hairs on something like this Um, so there's benefits to lifting fast you tend to recruit more motor units and muscle fibers There's also a benefit to going slow Time under tension right the control factor The the safety factor Most people I encourage to lift with a controlled slower tempo mainly because the The risk of injury is so much lower and you get great benefit Anyway, that's basically it lifting fast is fine The problem with lifting fast is it requires a great deal of control. I I save that for Highly trained people with lots of control like I don't like to see fast squats Unless you're like an excellent squatter and most people just aren't so everything's got to be slower and controlled But there's value to both and now what does that mean? That means Uh, try a little bit of both but always be careful because the faster you do the reps The higher the risk of injury and the more control you have to have over. I mean to give you a simple example I could do a very slow, you know, I could mimic throwing a baseball very slowly And it's not going to hurt my shoulder and I got thrown real fast And I'll feel it in my shoulder. So same thing with lifting. In fact, there was that that recent study that showed that fast crunches You know activated more muscle fibers than slow crunches, but you know People just don't know how to crunch properly So I would never encourage anybody to do a fast crunch unless they had like I get the best control of all time But this is where these studies really mess people up because they start focusing They start putting too much Value on these types of things when in reality, I mean they all kind of have value do the one that works best for you and also Strongly consider the safety. Well, I definitely would say there's a priority to one versus the other in terms of like Which you do first? So I would definitely lean more towards the time under tension and the slow Methodical approach first to be able to understand what that connection feels like and to be able to like go through the recruitment process Not to mention it's safer But I mean they both have value But to be able to go there first and then Get to fast is is crucial for you to be able to get success, you know Further down the road you got to be tired of hearing me say this what the answer is What's the one that you do the least? Yeah If you want to know which one would build the most muscle in this case because by the way in a completely controlled Environment we did a study if the load was the same Time under tension is the time that the is uh the same. It's just the reps are changing a bit It'd probably be a splitting hair difference of what sal's saying. So it means nothing, right? but If you're just like normal people that are following some sort of a routine and you probably Gravitate towards training one way more than the other the one that's going to build the most muscle is the one you rarely do If you were like my my athletes that I would train who do so much stuff Explosively and do fast reps all the time and they have like this one one one the way they train and I get a whole that person I'm doing a slow tempo four two two with them and we're going to do the same time that you would do 10 reps We're going to do six and slow it down and they're going to build the most muscle there Opposed to me doing the the 10 reps and faster because their their body is adapted to that way of training And vice versa is true So if you're somebody who trains like a bodybuilder slow and control of time and you never train like an athlete That's explosive and fast reps you doing the fast reps is going to build you the most muscle So that's I think the is the is the theme of this these types of questions But the biggest factor that people need to consider is literally the benefit versus risk Well, that's why Justin's point is perfect. Thank you if you had to if I got a clean slate Right and someone's asking this question. We've never trained at all I'm always going to go slower control before we ever move into well Think about it this way of all the people that you ever train and work with what percentage of them Did you ever encourage to lift explosively and fast right very slim? Yeah The the the chance of injury the risk of injury goes up so much with speed of reps That it's almost not worth it for a lot of people Mainly because people don't have the control and the stability to do it Most people don't have the control and stability to do fast curls Let alone fast dead lifts fast overhead presses fast bench presses fast squats So you got to consider that as well. So although definitely, you know, the one you're not doing Is the one that's going to build the most muscle what you don't want to do is I always train slow I always train controlled. I've got good muscle development I'm just going to switch into this explosive training Okay, you you think you have the control to do explosive training, but if you've never done it before I would go medium before going fast like work your way up because it requires all it's a whole different skill That's fair. I think that's a good point different operating system Next question is from sl ward 80 Is it overkill to take my resistance bands to work and do some small intermittent workouts during my downtime? Not only is it I know this was like a nice little They must not be following the program. No, this not only is this not overkill This is one of the best things you could possibly do for your body. Yep. It will blow you away I don't care what your workout is by the way. So so trigger sessions This is what they're kind of explaining what trigger sessions are are found in maps and a ballik But honestly, I don't care what program you follow I don't care if you follow our programs if you do your own program if you follow an athletic program Do this try it out. Watch what happens. It's literally like Imagine if all workouts were different cars throw a turbo on what happens. They all get faster So it doesn't matter what you do. Now. Here's the key with this These small intermittent band workouts need to be low intensity What you don't want to do is have hard workouts all day long. You don't want to blow the motor Yeah, you're gonna you're just gonna over train But if they're if they're low to moderate intensity, you're going through just ranges of motion You're getting a little bit of a pump. You're just moving You'll notice faster recovery Better pumps You'll get stronger faster and you'll build muscle faster and you'll burn body fat even faster Also, here's another benefit. It let's imagine if none of that happened Let's imagine all those amazing benefits. I just listed didn't actually happen although they do Here's another benefit to doing this. You have energy all day long That was something I didn't I I had no idea But I noticed when I would do my trigger sessions throughout the day because I used to work so many hours Right. I get to work at 8 a.m. Oftentimes I would leave at 8 or 9 p.m I had a small personal training studio And so I was just there all the time and when I would do these trigger sessions throughout the day So many times it would be like noon Like oh my god I do not feel like doing a trigger set but I would do it and then I'd feel energized And I would feel productive and I'd think sharper and I'd have better I'd do a better job as a trainer. So if you sit at a desk, man I don't care if you have no exercise goals Do this and you'll perform better at your job as well No, it's interesting because I was always trying to explain active recovery to clients and so Even myself personally like in between Really hard workouts. I would make sure to just move around and I always thought like You know, as long as I get in certain ranges of motion and I and I move my body around I can get better blood flow Uh, and that's going to help sort of you know restore my body and provide me with you know More energy going into the next day, which is true and which was great But now adding, you know, rubber bands into that too and getting that kind of like Like, you know, like low intensity contraction to really pump that blood into the muscles Like was a totally different experience. So you did it like it charged it even more And it gave me, you know, an added bit of performance even more so Going back to the workout. So it was very very interesting and it's one of those things It's it's we can talk about it to death But until you actually do, you know, some of these like short workouts and and you're very consistent with it Uh, you know, you're you're gonna see what that does. It's it's amazing if I want to get ripped fast trigger sessions It's like nothing compares to trigger sessions for getting lean Um in a hurry bands are great because you can attach them at different angles So you have like a huge variety of exercises. Yeah, and what I would do for me not very damaging either No, no, not at all. It's like I said they facilitate recovery What I would do is I would do one exercise per major muscle group. So I'd go rows presses overhead presses Curls extensions and then I do like some lunges for my legs And then that would be my workout and it would be literally eight minutes long max Kind of low intensity Another way you could do it is you could just focus on two or three muscle groups that you need special emphasis on So oh, I want to bring up my hamstrings. I want to bring up my my back and my shoulders Okay, so do a few rounds of just those body parts But personally I advocate for whole body because I think there's a whole body signal that it sends Um, and in my experience that seems to be the most effective way to do them I use three three three three rounds of a circuit So I would do one exercise. So, you know, like you said, you know Chest flies body weight squats band, you know lateral raises rows I bet I would do 15 to 20 reps no rest between each exercise The only time I get rests is after I do the whole full body one time Give myself about a minute or something like that for the heart rate maybe to come down a little bit And then I go through again I do that two times you're done and you're done in that in eight minutes. It's so it's so quick I think the only mistake I see With trigger sessions or applying this is we all have we have a tendency to want to do more Yeah, you want to make it a workout? Yeah, and my goal is actually not to sweat during this It's like literally I want to get a little bit of a burn and a pump from it That's it and that I don't it should not be Struggling to get each rep out. You should not be sweating from it It does you do not need to make this super intense You'd be far better off actually doing it a couple times a day than going really really hard at it Next question is from a spar 11610 Should I continue to use creatine when I'm off for eight weeks post-surgery? If so, what are the benefits? Yes, absolutely recovery benefits Well, the studies are showing now that when when a muscle is inactive, right? Okay, so when you don't move muscles atrophy, so they shrink Creatine actually dramatically reduces the amount of atrophy that happens So they actually done this they've actually done studies on this where people Will purposely become inactive or post-surgery. They'll give them creatine And they lose less strength and less muscle. This is muscle sparing muscle sparing Okay, but there's more benefits to creatine than just muscle. It's I know that that's a that's usually what it's taken for That's what sold for for the last, you know, a few decades is to build muscle and recovery Creatine boosts cognitive performance. It's good for the health of your mitochondria Which affects all of your cells and has antioxidant properties. It's good for your heart It's just a health supplement So the thing about creatine is no joke and we'll see this in the next 10 years mark my words It will be something that is recommended to most people to take just for health Whether you work out or not, but especially for someone like this If you're gonna be post-surgery, you're gonna atrophy Creatine will prevent some of that from happening. It's not gonna prevent all of it But it is gonna reduce the amount of atrophy that happens post-surgery So this is something that in fact, I think that they're gonna recommend I think physical therapists if they're not already are gonna start recommending creating as part of rehab or post-surgery Because of these studies and again, they're clear and it's one of the most studied Supplements that's out there. So it's not just my anecdote. There's lots and lots of Literature to point to exactly what I'm talking about. It's so cheap now too. It is it's not that expensive I would tell somebody like not worry too much about off day of training and this and that but Why not? It's not that it's not that expensive to do it every single day And because of all the stuff that keeps coming out with all the health benefits behind it I would say take it every day. Absolutely.
