 Our next caller is Brian from Texas, what's going on Brian? How can we help you? Hey, how y'all doing? Good? so So I'm I'm I'm kind of long and thin Never had a lot of success building muscle I'm product of a lot of the things y'all talk about a lot of bad information and bad form and you know Just an attitude to do more it'll get better and stay in the gym till I'm sore and beat up every day But uh, you know Down the road, I've let myself build a crap in my 30s and 40s and a little over a year ago Finally got it together lost about 50 pounds and got to a point where I wanted to build some muscle and Kind of went back to those same problems. I was having before just wasn't having a lot of success and I found your Podcast is just the right time You know, you've helped me answer part of that equation, which was stop swimming six miles a week Was the first step but once I bought one of your fitness bundles and got into the max prime section I realized I got a lot of muscle imbalances as well and mobility issues So before I moved into a more advanced course I really kind of started myself out just doing pre primers fortification and post primers Three days a week with mobility sessions on the performance section in between So seven days a week just mobility and my question is is this the right approach? To focus solely on these mobility issues or should I be incorporating? One of the foundational programs in there to help me reach my goal of building muscle in address Mobility issues first of all that really really smart. Yeah, I was just gonna say There's a misconception that mobility and correctional work doesn't make you stronger the reason why you get better At mobility work and correctional work as you practice it is precisely because you're building strength You're just building strength in targeted ways to improve your the way that you move now if you were my client This is exactly what I would do what if when I took a client and I identified lots of mobility and movement issues That's all we focused on for a little while because that's the fastest way to improve And it's the fastest way to get to the point where you can start to focus on heavier weight and compound lifts and that kind of Stuff so you're doing exactly what you're strengthening the support system You're you're you're providing more stability amongst the joints, which then you can even load More as you get back into weight training. So I think it's just a misconception people think they're regressing tremendously by just focusing on it when in fact You know, it's a little bit longer approach, but you're actually going to be accelerating your results this way I'm actually really impressed by this considering that you admit you're doing everything so wrong in the past from before and I think You and you've obviously not only have you you bought the programming so that you obviously Listen to all the videos and read the continent which sometimes people just buy it and then don't go through all that stuff Because you where you went and where you started is exactly where I think all of us would that's why we wrote it We wrote it with those intentions for someone just like you now Of course eventually you'll want to start to move into some foundational stuff And the way that would look is I would start you one day a week of Anabolic so I would keep doing everything you're doing and then trade out Maybe one of those days or if I could add a day of like of you know A foundational day from maps anabolic and see how you feel see if you feel good when you squat See if you feel good when you're doing these movements and and then start to build upon that But what you're doing you're you're laying the perfect foundation and to Sal's point you are building muscle You're just building very specific muscle to to work and work on all those imbalances Awesome, and I've seen those I've seen those results Already just just from going through the mobility. I've seen the strength games and I feel more stable and a lot of lifts So yeah, that that's That's what I'm seeing and and you know, that's why I love you all the information It's it's so easy to buy in because you listen to what you say and then you see the results on the other end Yeah, no stay the course you're doing awesome You're doing the right thing stay the course and you'll get there and you actually get your goals faster Are you are you actually Brian? Are you inside our private forum? I'm sorry. What do you mean by get we have we have a we have a we have a Facebook private forum Are you I'm assuming you're not in it No, I'm not okay, so I'm gonna have Doug give you now you are that's right I'm gonna give I'm gonna have Doug give you access to it's on Facebook So I don't know if you use Facebook or not.

So join that join that group I'd love to see you in there. There you go We'll do we'll do appreciate it. No problem. Yeah, that's a tough situation because people think mobility means You know, oh, no, I'm not gonna get there fast enough or I'm not gonna the truth is you'll get there faster By focusing on those things First because when I when we train clients would you I mean you've got a client You need to work on mobility correctional exercise You wouldn't do that and bodybuilding or that and powerlifting right right? It would be just kind of productive Well, especially when he I mean he says he failed all three compasses. So he knows he's got a lot of work I mean any I love hearing someone because this is an area where I think I think a lot of people miss they They buy our prime program and they kind of like just go over it real quick They don't really go into it or they'll do like one session be like, okay I get those and then they'll just jump right back the tree. Yeah, so what he's doing is is perfect man And he said it himself. He's he's seeing the difference. I mean, he's he knows he's billy's getting stronger He's getting more stable. I mean that's the and honestly I would just continue down that path and then I'd probably start to flirt with One day a week of anabolic just to see how I perform like does the squad feel good Do I look like I'm moving well like and and then if that Continues to progress and I'd slowly start to add days from anabolic in there
