 So we got an announcement to make we got a huge announcement to make I know you're probably thinking why don't you get him married? But you want to leave away Yeah, we're gonna wait on that announcement the big announcement that we got right now is we've decided to co-launch co-host a Podcast it's something I've been thinking about for a while I actually The guy that shoots my video Else shout out to else told me for about three years to do one. He's like Omar You just talk talk talk do a podcast so I actually came down here to California my boy Ryan helped set up a podcast I did like one or two episodes then I saw Mike again It's like being reunited with your long lost love your true passion and we're about to do I was about to do podcasts I invited Mike on and went stellar and I'm like, you know what that spark is still there and for an entire year Daily messages and emails asking me to start a new podcast I had it in the plans And it was just a matter of finding a co-host or finding how I want to execute it on my own But naturally now that we've already recorded a few Seven the two of us together Unstoppable on the podcast I'm gonna be honest 100% But it also just turned we didn't even have to think that much and it just turned into the podcast that I think both Of us are not only proud of that and they were excited to share with you guys and hopefully even extend outside of this Community although we love this community. I so I think a basic thing just to give a quick preview of the podcast It's not gonna be a fitness oriented But I think a lot of people will be quasi, but we'll definitely expand far beyond that My problem is I have a short attention span. No shit You guys probably have realized that and so for the format of a podcast I get bored by a lot of hosts too easily This one's kind of like action-packed raw if you want to see kind of matter I don't want to say our true opinions on things But we're trying to try to share with you guys knowledge and information. We're a little bit more reserved So the analogy is hard for Omar, but for me, this is silent Mike. This is fitness. This is lifting. This is my passion This is what I coach. This is where I lie my expertise and this podcast is gonna be more Mike far if that kind of makes sense And same for Omar, even though Omar East office still gonna be Omar. Yeah Can I give I can give just maybe an example if the YouTube videos are kind of like the browser's preview The podcast is the full damn thing the whole so this is the page's description, but it's still free Yeah, but it's still free. I don't gotta pay for shipping still get your nut on and what we need from you guys right now Is to comment below and please be serious because we're gonna take you this into account Give us your best podcast name for a thing and also one thing Please before you give the suggestion Just search if it's already been done because I would help because honestly We've had two to three names that we've loved that we're like yep This could be it and then we find out it's already been done. So just before you suggest it Boom. Yes, and now we're gonna hop into your questions on Instagram silent Michael 2k's Omar Esauph on Instagram We're taking your questions and now we're gonna answer questions. Yeah, man here to help you guys out. Okay, that's special All right, you too is a meal used to is a meal You know a snack is something but a meal is divine. Why is Omar not competing? Sorry? I'm just like what is that? Yes, go away. No, I was gonna say what I mean power from way I am gonna be doing a weightlifting meet I'm planning on 2018 One of us gotta represent we both try to do it But I am planning on doing it if I was to do power thing. Honestly, it probably consumed the rest of 2018 I made a commitment to myself to do weightlifting. I might not and I won't be honestly graded it But I fall through on things I do I said I was gonna delve 600 pounds took me two years of back injuries came back and did it Smash it here. Give me 30 seconds on this one because we can go mega Could you explain us what is block periodization and how to program it? I'll so we can't you want me to do it. Yeah, yeah All right, so we so we can't really explain on how to do it because that's so in-depth and that's basically saying like hey Mike take your 10 years of programming knowledge and throw it at you Can't make a 20 minute video in 30 and even a 20 minute video You can't teach someone how to program per se But there's some basic principles block periodization basically means that you're blocking out different phases for different goals In lifting and fitness and basketball. You can do it in any sport or even life, right this month I'm really gonna focus on my kitchen I'm gonna make my kitchen nicer this month. I'm gonna focus on my bathroom make that nicer this one I'm gonna focus on my windows make them clean whatever in terms of lifting. It's typically Hypertrophy strength maybe work capacity, maybe general strength different things of that nature depending on your sport How to program is very complex I think if you watch every single video he ever put out and I put out you might have a good taste And even then it's still very difficult to explain without applying Yeah, just think about it like this Professor bore bore Shaco to talk about just specifically his program and the programming principles It took him about four to five hours and that's without him defining like terms and things That's just yeah, just rolling. Yeah, yeah So yeah, never think that what we say in a few videos are representable We think about programming or explains programming perfectly that is one thing best served for like books and actually reading about it What and how did you guys come up with the name at Kaiser and and why? So this is a good question We came up with the name at Kaiser and essentially because it represents all of what we're about myself So I'm like in Barquan where we're about that continuous improvement. It's a Japanese term We decided to spell it a certain way Kaiser and without the a in it But all of us on our journey I see also often on social media people want that quick buck or that quick Transformation that quick strength game and we know from years of experience coaching people lifting ourselves It's about continuous steady improvement. So not trying to rise fast and quick. Yeah, and then burning out quickly It's about that continuous improvement towards yourself towards you're lifting in every aspect you do in life Yeah, and also just not the comparative stuff. Oh, hey, I've been to 25 and 15 is that get her? Oh, hey, I saw soon so bench four or five. Don't worry about it If you worry on slowly getting better chipping away day by day step by step You're heading in the right direction and that's kind of what we preach That's what we live both in business life friendships family, etc And that's hopefully we you get it. You might know more about this next one than me CBD oil, you know anything about it. I honestly don't No, so CBD oil is one of the main cannabinoids in marijuana or whatever I don't know that much about it either I think it's legal in most places because it doesn't have psychedelic effects and and the new trend right now Is that it does help inflammation in things? I've never seen a good study or even someone in this nutrition world talk about it. So we can't really speak on it I do think it's interesting It's an oil that people think has a lot of antioxidants and some things that may help some Inflammation general pains even even almost like a very mild Advil sure But we're I think a science is probably inconclusive and we're definitely It's out of our element. I like how you highlighted that I didn't meet you. I just click that I was gonna say quickly someone said best exercise for bigger traps and that'd be trend in the glutes traps Yeah, trend in the glutes Receptors Destiny mean or a trap house trap. It's a wrap. Oh my bad. I thought yeah But for traps, I would say there's a few things. So if you do heavy pulls yeah over plump career time That's good and also overhead stabilization So as long as you do over at press frequently people ask me about my shoulders what helped I was over at pressing for a lot of 2017 2016 I was doing over at press four times at least a week and then also over at squats I'm a shitty weightlifter. Yeah, so I basically use my muscles to stabilize rather than have good form and good positions Yeah, so that also honestly help You don't always have to directly hit a muscle or use a muscle through a full range to make it grow and the traps in Particular like he said big deadlifts rack pull things of that nature stretches and forces it to work itself the other thing that I would add that helped me personally is just a heavy almost cheater Like lateral raises sure where yeah, you want to hit your medial dealt But if I fucking smash on them that I'm kind of shrugging and you can lose a good amount of weight there I got a one mic right here at the speedy JP Wants to know if you could pick only one parallel movement to do for the rest of your life and have to give up the other two What should you pick? I've answered this on it. Oh, yeah, I don't think I would say deadlifts Although my backs hurt and I'm not deadlifting for the next eight weeks I would say deadlifts as I think it hits the most muscle groups. Yeah, I can change it in multiple ways I can do you know kind of an RDL and things like that and it's still kind of a deadlift But yeah, I don't so is it for enjoyment or is it for function? I think for enjoyment for mine would be all of it Okay, so for enjoyment. I would actually probably pick deadlifts, but actually for function I would take the squat just because I find if I maintain my squat or increase my squat My delft goes up and not the reverse, but you're not allowed to do this. It doesn't matter. No No, but I'm saying for just every day doesn't matter it disappeared It's you know what and also I'll put it this way I would pick a squat You know why because I'm not as proficient at the squat as I am on the deadlift and then also the bench press So it'd be the one I could sink the most amount of hours into improve Yep, doing short small workouts, but not having to take a rest day then I think what my gentleman here saying is my man saying is if he's having small workouts Like shorter workouts less volume. Does he not have to take a rest day? Right, so you're doing higher frequency lower total man I guess I don't know if you're talking about powerlifting. He sounds a little vague But I think there's so many different variables. I think yes Because something simple as playing soccer playing basketball where the stimulus you're going through is yes, very difficult But it's not progressive overloading you like a barbell or weights getting heavier and you can recover from it, right? People people football players do two days They're running in the morning and then they're playing football at night So you can recover from such things if you're doing, you know body weight circuit You could probably do it seven days a week. Yeah, if you're powerlifting if you're using dumbbells even or Cables or whatever probably not it's probably better to rest Almost across the board. Of course, there's different factors involved, but four to five days a week Yeah, it's gonna work for most people in most schools how to program for squats. That's a good general question I would say that squats compared so first I think there is a correlation between your total muscle mass They found there's a stronger one when it comes to squats and the bench press as opposed to the deadlift So the deadlift I think you get trained less frequently and with less intensity and get more results I think you have to do more total reps when you are squatting I think that's why that Bulgarian like kind of squat every day at various intensities not necessarily going for a max You're gonna be very beneficial I do believe in squatting more frequently if it doesn't come naturally But if you squat more frequently you have to lower the overall intensity and volume per day and per session that you do I also do like working up to let's say comfortable singles when it comes to the squat Just get used to it because I do think and I find this is speaking to someone that doesn't squat It doesn't have a great squat that I need to keep that pattern smooth And as the higher percentages kind of like professor shake it would say that at higher percentages Your true form is either like revealed or you'll quickly see if you've mastered the form or not So I like to include a combination of high frequency moderate amount of intensity so usually training between that 65 to 80 percent And then a decent amount of volume. So what does that mean per week? Well about 30 to 50 probably total reps in that range and then also working up on occasion Maybe once or twice a week to a comfortable single that's between like 80 to 90 Maybe like 92.5 or At the most 95% yeah, I have a very general rule for all lifts and this is again very general rule for most people Deadlifts once to twice a week. Yeah, of course You guys are gonna comment the one person that gets away with three times a week and there are some but once to twice a week Squats three to four times a week works for most people and bench also about three to four Maybe even five times a week is kind of the optimal frequency and then volume depending on your stage of lifting etc Yep, someone wants to know opinion on companies like Herbalife Usana. I think You don't know those I is it a pyramid scheme and they're kind of like supplements are kind of commercialized supplements Look, I'm not a fan of any supplements. I've talked about that many a time here I know that some just do work and some may benefit me and you guys If it's for your health, I say try to hunt it down by food first if it's protein I say try to hunt it down by food first If it's you just have expendable cash that you're wanting to throw around sure you can grab some creatine Some caffeine some things to throw in but I don't like anyone and if it I don't like you I don't like you But if it is breaking it down, I would go to a more reputable source Maybe a small business because I am a small business fan. Yeah, although they can't be sketchy as well Just because you know if you're buying your protein from Walmart chances are it's not exactly made for us Right. All right, Chris Lugma wants to just say the statement best bromance of 2017 I was gonna say that another question. We got a lot of beautiful comments is how did you all get so cute? We're just born that way. It's cuz we're mama's boys. It's just the way that it is I also think that uh Not about that, but I think when people talk about bromance or this and that I think that is something I'm about to plug the podcast one more time because we filmed seven episodes. Honestly, buddy Come in 2018 probably leave your comments below. We need a name. Yeah I think but I honestly believe I am a cocky person in general But I think it's gonna do great because I think I think it's something that's not currently being being done in the space People are age. Yeah with our mindset talking about and look, we're not trying to plug away But here's another one. One is the Shaco program coming out that the goal is for the full program to be released mid January, but we're gonna pre-sale it like so in December Hopefully two to three weeks from one day to Instagram in here. We'll have it available. Hopefully guys Well, I gotta defend my boy a fat Dan as they say who we just hung out with Someone said does fat Dan actually pull hot bitches or is he just a poser with a real no bitches We're talking ladies But what I'd say like straight up what people probably don't think what I realize is Dan does great Very good human being. He's very charming He's very funny and he's fun to be around and if you have those things going for it He's hard-working. He's our working cat. If you have those things going for you, you'll probably be alright Here's a decent one for you go worst client experience. I have a story already Probably the one that irritated me the most was when I first started lifting I've first started coaching people straight up just because I wasn't used to it I was told I was someone that did not like getting up early like once puberty hit I used to get up at 5 30 before puberty then puberty hit. I'm like Still going through puberty cuz yeah, I still sleep in. No. Yeah, I'm a grown boy What I was gonna say is this client I remember I saw the client one time and they booked in at 6 a.m Was their session and at the time because I only bought one session. They didn't buy no, no, they bought the package Oh, alright, and you got a sacrifice But what happened is there's a cancellation kind of rule or like whatever we didn't have to charge our worst Because I was a new trainer and you want to make a good impression and my next client was like six hours later So that means if I didn't show up then yeah, I could have slept in they canceled on me like six or seven times Yeah, that's annoying brutal. That isn't that is annoying. I'm sorry, but I think my tops you really good Oh, I bet so same as so much situation I'm probably a year or two into training personal training in a facility for those that never had a personal trainer Typically we have one or two meetings before you start to train Now you have a meeting kind of talking about the packages is selling what their goals are yours are and then you kind of Have maybe even a medical one We had some kind of survey you filled out you filled it out and then we went over the questions Hey, are you just your shoulder hurt? Do you have any heart issues? Does your doctor any restrictions or any medications all these things had this lady probably probably in her late 30s at the time I'm probably 20 She everything's clear, you know slightly overweight nothing crazy Not not that active but walked a little bit no hard attack No real issues No real issues going on. It's it's Saturday which in the commercial gym world is very dead It might even been Sunday, which is even more dead My homie Matt shout out to Matt Chima who got me on Instagram. I didn't know what Instagram I just reunited with them. We worked out the other day. So shout out to my boy Matt Matt's in the office He's he's a selling gym membership. So he's in the office just chilling. He's eating a donut We're doing a very simple circuit. This is part of my third session with her. We're going tricep pushdown Right. We're going to a lunge down the strip We have an open strip maybe 20 feet nothing insane right? It's probably eight steps per lay Yeah, and then from there I think I had some dumbbells at the end of that and we're doing some curls or something Yeah, so you go up or lower up a little bit. It's a leg day and we're just throwing some arms on the end Towards the end of the lunges. I'm not feeling so good like all right. I sat her down on the machine You know sits on a machine I turn around to go like grab a water or towel or something. I was gonna be like just fell head first into the ground I look before even checking pulse, which maybe should have been the first move in Retrospect I run I kicked down the door my homies Matt's got a doughnut in his mouth I said bro 911 and then I run And then I'm going to check her pulse and then she's barely waking up and I Bro no one in the gym me my homie Maddu's joke like me Ladies fainted on the ground and then base first she woke up though And I sat her down then I slowly got on a bike just a petal was like iron a blood trigger. What was it? So So I get on the bike and she's slowly pedaling and I say oh man like are you okay? She's like she's like yeah, that's why I stopped running. I said you stop running It's like every time I was running I would faint and so I stopped running. I said Meeting we had two weeks ago. You told me every time I move fast. Yeah faint. Yeah And you should probably just go to the doctor again because that's not normal. Well, what happened there. That's it Then she never came back Maybe she came back for like one more session man. She was fine. I'm she's like RP ear percentage Let's not get into detail on it's too complicated. Yeah, what do you like? If I could control all outside variables percentage. I like to be coached with per Senate and I personally do coach with percentage. I do better But in my off-season stuff most of my stuff's pretty auto regulated So if you want to call it RP, that's fine, you know auto-regulation RP are different No, yeah, I've been down with a mic to cheer stuff like I'm down with OPP Bro, like I think I made a video about auto-regulation like 2013 or something Yeah, I think if more people had access to like my job like bar velocity and other cool things They could be cool. I would love to use a 10-year unit every day But oh dude and set it up. Yeah, and set it up and calculate in What are some preferred exercises to fix a quad in balance and we're gonna end it on this one hit us? Quad imbalance. Yeah, so I'm any imbalance because they're all gonna be so does that mean asymmetrical or quads are weak? I'm gonna take it in the quads are weak. I was gonna take it as asymmetrical. Oh, well, that's easy I was gonna say do asymmetrical because I get that a lot like oh one arms bigger than the other one Pecs bigger than the other. What would you tackle? So often what is often the case? What's going on there's one side you're probably more dominant is the side that you're more confident in probably because you're wired Just more efficiently when it comes to your nervous system like when it comes to your brain So if you're left-handed like I'm left-handed that means my left hand or left side There's a form left-handed men are creative thinkers. I've heard that too doesn't apply to me. It's Oh, but my tinder just says hi But I was gonna say that what ends up happening you naturally become stronger because you're more coordinated So what you got to do you got to work on trying to activate I hate that phrase But what that means is some unilateral work starting on that side You could even do more warm-up sets So if you do walk-in lunges and use 60 pounds or ball games split squats and you work up to like a hundred pounds You do a couple sessions warm-up starting on your weak side Whatever the weak side is trying to feel that muscle activate when people say oh, I can't feel my glutes activated It's not an issue of them not doing work. There's they're not literally sleeping There's they're just not working as hard as they could be right think about like doing kind of like a half curl or a full Full curl. So you want to think about maximally trying to contract the muscles Yeah, I think that's gold unilateral movements in general not to stay away from the barbell Which is to do those extra after perhaps. This is most common in maybe super advanced bodybuilders who are looking at My new details or the beginner who everyone is a little bit imbalanced Yeah, one thing I would add to that is like a mobility or a technique thing So if you're benching and you're like this You know like one shoulder shrugged and one's kind of down and back or whatever of course you're gonna have a balance this Yeah, maybe you know we're like this delts gonna get a little bit bigger and this pecs Sure a bigger so unilateral work make sure that you're even something like a tempo lift With the barbell can force you to be more even now same thing with your leaning either side You guys know what it is Comment below with the podcast name. It's coming soon. It's coming You know this guy Omar is off all this stuff will be in the description and hopefully once we get a name We'll get the URL and we'll get these things set up So you guys can be the first to know when the podcast is dropping appreciate So leave your comments below with the podcast is coming.
