He's like really Why do you have so much weight on the bar on your deadlifts? Bodybuilders don't do singles Yeah, he's over there. He's over there pulling like five five plus. I don't even know how much was on there look like a lot look like 550 or more and Yeah, I mean I'm bodybuilding. You know what I said that you know what first of all most bodybuilders on the way down I was like most bodybuilders don't even deadlift the ones that do deadlift are not doing you know what okay So here's what I mean when I say that my My work here's how my workouts change when I'm in bodybuilder mode, right? Besides deadlifts I tend to focus more on feel and I'm not as strong So I have to switch my mentality because otherwise it starts to mess with me But it's mainly diet dude my workouts change a little bit, but it's mainly diet and this weekend the diet I don't know if I'm gonna let you get away with that point I don't know. I'm gonna let you get away with calling that bodybuilder mode, bro. Just cuz you started Yeah, cuz I cut calories way down way down and I just where's everybody okay So where's everybody at weight wise cuz we we wait in that the vlog right when we first started and and I was 235 Wow You ready sell 234 you were I was to 15 or to 16 Oh good to 20 15 to 16 at 227 you're yeah, you were in the middle dude. Am I like So where's everybody at now to compare well so trip off this right so You haven't you got fatter Look we should make him go right now Okay, so I probably got a little huskier I don't know man that but video we had with the bar rolling over your butt It didn't even make it over your hamstrings, yeah Yeah, it's a bounce right back. So no, I Was really motivated because my gut starts to act up with too many calories and carbohydrate I think like you Adam except you feel like a key. Yeah, where you start to cut calories. Yeah for me It's my my gut health. So I cut my carbs way down Holy cow. Do I drop water like crazy? I must hold on to so much water for meeting carbohydrates So my weight went to 16 down to 208 in like a week. So you're down eight way. Yeah way down. How about you? Yeah, I'm about 10 down. So I weighed Day before yesterday, I weighed at 225. So and I was what did I say? I was 235 or 236, okay? So I'm down 10 11 pounds right around there mostly water, of course, right? So it's and I've leaned out a little bit now. What are you doing the diet? Just cutting down. Well, you remember that that episode not long ago I shared how I did that week of really really low calorie that dropped the initial and then I stay pretty low Most the week I did have a high cal day yesterday I hadn't had like I and I wanted like a real good refeed and the way I based it off with we were talking off-air last week when we were all working out and The workouts is what is always tough for me when I well, that's not the only thing It's tough. There's two things that are really tough for me when cutting calories is The significant drop in strength. I noticed and some people are differently not everybody's like this Some people can reduce their calories and they see a little bit of a strength difference Not a big difference. I see a significant difference like I am a lot weaker low Cal than I am when I'm completely fed And then the other thing is I'm not filled in so You know, I have this like, you know all my clothes are fitting kind of loose and so even though I'm leaner and getting in better shape Psychologically it always messes with it pulls out the you know the skinny kid, you know Totally insecurity that I've always had totally so I always have to have this self-talk of like it's what you're fine You're good. Do you now do you have any mental games? You play with yourself to get yourself in the right state of mind because sure I wear smaller shirts like you Hold on really? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, absolutely. So your same shirt. Oh, no I have I have like you have to see the definition. Yeah, so I got a closet full You know Katrina makes fun of me on skinny clothes. Yeah, I do I have like so I have I have like all kind of all phases, especially when I was competing You know, there obviously I fluctuated weight a ton during those times So and I haven't thrown those clothes out because I can I can manipulate my weight Really 20 to 30 pounds and be all different versions of myself meaning I can be lean at the highest weight lean at the lowest weight and vice versa, right? So I have like sections of t-shirts that you know And I'm like really big and jacked and filled out like I can wear these You know triple X and kind of really big big double X type shirts And then I have like, you know when I'm when I'm feeling really small So that I'll wear like my my large lean extra large type of t-shirt pull out the stringers You know, I you know, I haven't I don't know if I still have any I think at the last your nipple pokes out the side I'm not I said Fred mesh shirts. Yeah, I got a few I have to be shredded to wear those just mid drifts That's an idea. Yeah, when I was competing I was definitely into that but part of that honestly it was You know when you're you're critiquing your physique Like I never wore I never wore stringers until competing. I can never did that. I was always a guy I actually used to be you know, when I came up with these guys lifting They were big on like staying covered up and layers, you know You were the triple X shirts and big sweaters. Yeah, you know, so you were all under cover You know, you only get to see me if you went to the beach or something or out in public or out outside of the gym So I never really wore the stringers and wife beaters and tank top stuff Until I got into competing when I'm like and I'm definitely Looking at myself the entire time because I'm judging My physique like when where I need to work on and so for me That's the only time that really existed and since I'm obviously not competing or nor near that kind of shape I don't I don't rock. Yeah, I got to do the I got to do I have to see what's going on Otherwise, I just focus on the weight and I'm not a strong and then I'm like, all right I'm gonna go eat some french fries. Yeah, get some of the strength back. How about you Justin? Do you do you change your clothes as your I don't really put a lot of thought into that Although I'll give you like I have this one shirt. That's a long sleeve shirt and I don't well Obviously, I know why because it's tighter like in certain specific spots in my arms where it like shows the definition I'm always like like it's like my power shirt. Yeah, you know, like but that's it Like I don't I didn't like figure that out till just recently like oh I could buy more of these kinds of shirts to kind of show this work off But it's just like oh this one's cool and I like put it on there's Justin changes things up based off of like You know, I always notice he switches his workouts based off of like if he hasn't been doing rotational stuff He has the healthiest approach I would say yeah, I just yeah, I don't I don't I have a different perspective, you know But again, like that's why it's it's good to like intermingle and try and like focus on like getting muscle definition again Like I'm actually I want to do that. So that's like something I'm trying to focus on I you know, I like to think that I'm I'm more like just in this area now Like that's like do my workouts right now Currently reflect like how I feel like I'm not I'm not pushing weight really hard I'm not really focused on you know building an aesthetic physique right now. It's I've got right now I've got the golfers elbow going on right now. So I got joint and I got elbow hips This is a suck when you get golfers elbow, but you don't go. Yeah. Yeah So, you know, I hear me it flared up after the first day of like heavy basketball ankle First day after heavy deadlifting and it definitely felt it same thing going with I went really heavy squats a couple weeks ago And then my so, you know, as soon as my body starts talking to me like that I can I can shut it down I could shut down the the meat head side of me and get more into like Functional, you know, we talk a lot about trainers obviously on the show because we were all trainers for most of our careers But I this is one of the reasons why I always recommend because we get the question, right? Should trainers be? Fit should they be super into exercise and nutrition and from a visual standpoint? Yes, there's some marketing value I could see that obviously it's gonna be harder to get people to hire you if you don't look like you work out But here's the real value, you know, I think you have to experience a lot of the mental states that your clients may Experience so that you can communicate to a better and be more effective and one of them is this Here's one of the main reasons why I've always advocated and you guys do the same With phasing your workouts versus, you know, instead of doing like some, you know Mondays or high reps and Wednesdays or low reps and mixing it all up The one of the reasons why I recommend phasing is same reason why like what we're talking about now There's a mental state that goes along goes along with training heavy There's a mental state that goes along with working on mobility There's a mental state that goes on with with bodybuilding and you have to switch gears get in that mental state Otherwise it gets very challenging if I'm in a strength mental state Good luck get trying to get me to do mobility appropriately. It's just it's so much harder I have to switch gears and then stay there and I'm much more effective in that face It's not just that there's there's also this this huge individual variance Between everybody that you know, it's good to see what serves your body best, you know And so if you're all if you're kind of like Throwing everything at your body all the time or it's like I got high rep low rep heavyweight light weight I've got super setting. I've got long rest periods. I've got power lifting type stuff I got kettlebell work I've got mobility stuff and you kind of like throw it all in your routine It's really hard to measure What's really helping you specifically the most at where you're currently at in your life And so that's the reason why I find the most value and of course the research and studies support it It's one of the if not the best way to train is to do that But I really think a lot of it's the psychological part the studies talk about the physiological part That's beneficial which you know, we could talk all day long we can debate that right and there's camps that might debate You know changing it a lot and it's really close right the studies show that if you do change things up every single day It's really close to somebody who phases their workouts not much of a difference But that's not the reason why I think it's so important I think the psychological part is what's really important because a lot of people don't know What's really working in their routine and so being consistent with a phase or a modality a way of training For a long enough period of time, you know four to six weeks Gives you like some really good feedback to then go back to the drawing table Think about how long did it take you guys to get a client? Let's just I'll paint I'll create a fictitious client here How long would it take you to get a woman who wants to burn body fat to get into the build strength build muscle Build metabolism mentality a long time. Yeah, it's not one workout. No, it takes a little while Well, what if I go one workout? We're focused on that Oh, don't worry Wednesday. We're doing hit training and then Thursday. We're doing it's it's you're gonna be in an uphill battle You got to get them in that mental state to really make what you're working towards Truly effective and as a trainer doing it yourself you get it I get it like I like I was just telling you guys it I finally switched over to when I mean by bodybuilding mode is Focusing on definition looking at my exercises as a means to an end versus like I got to lift more I want to get stronger. It takes a second to switch over. I mean you're you're you're totally changing up the intent of everything You're doing so it's like really you're walking into the gym like trying to accomplish different Goals for that day and and to be able to work through those exercises in a different way So yeah, it does require that a lot of times and it's usually what you don't want to do Because you're so set in what you're doing and it's everything was going well and easy and now You know the the real like transformation and change is gonna happen when you work in a completely different direction Totally. All right. So speaking about training. So this weekend. I had some time alone Jessica took the baby to the park for a few hours and I just geeked out on Nutrition studies and supplement studies and I read up a lot about a supplement that we've all been using forever That's been around for a long time fish oil. There's some really interesting. So there's there's a lot There's a lot of controversy. Okay, so Yes, I get some of that but I also don't because a lot of the evidence is pretty damn strong and then my personal experience and then my client's Experience with fish oil has always been excellent. It's one of the most effective single supplements. I've ever seen Reduce my clients stiffness and improve mobility. Well, there's there's lots of studies that support this There's studies that show so if you're somebody was always pushing yourself to the limit your training really hard and recovery becomes It's like you're on a razor, you know edge, right? Am I doing too much? Am I not doing enough when you're really training at peak intensity? Fish oil makes a big difference and studies show there's actually a couple studies that showed that people who supplemented with fish oil Well, either did not lose strength or lost minimal strength post a strenuous workout So after really really hard like say leg workout The day or two after you're not gonna be a strong in your legs because of the damage or whatever People who took fish oil didn't lose strength or lost far less than people who didn't it also is shown to improve mobility Tremendously, so if you have issues with mobility, you're focusing on mobility is like a joint lubricant Absolutely, and then here's another one and people who are older There's the study that shows that people who supplemented with fish oil built more muscle the fish oil itself With the other controls shows that it actually built more muscle So I would the study that I would like to see with it in and what I've heard that's conflicting with with omega-3s Is if you have a really poor diet and you consume a lot of omega 6s and 9s That it out competes the 3s in the cell So let's say you have somebody who's like fast food bad really bad diet But they hear their doctor or sal tells them, you know all the great research around omega 3s So they throw the omega 3s on it I hear that you may as well flush it down the toilet because the 6s and if you're taking that much in your over consuming calories You're on over consuming saturated fats. You have a bad diet Then and then you also take the fish oil it basically it the 6s and 9s out compete the 3s So here's in my experience working with clients whose diets weren't the greatest But I did talk them into using fish oil for inflammation mainly for inflammation They would have to take high doses So I would have them take six eight ten grams of fish oil, which is about six eight ten Typically capsules for example capsules. Yeah, so like the one that I like I'm using right now as legions Triton I like his his product. What's his called. It's called Triton Triton. Yeah, really really good product Obviously, you know Matt Mike's supplements are excellent. They got it. They got it. He's got a sea Very clever Mike. Yeah, Aquaman's a friend or whatever I Like six to six to ten of those capsules spread out throughout the day So you would do like three with breakfast three with lunch now see would that matter though I mean based off of what I'm talking about is that the sixes and nines are from what I've heard That's what I'm saying. I think taking more than it doesn't matter based off of what I've read is that it's it's they're Still stronger will you stop to remove that out of your diet? Yeah, like they would out compete it So it's you know, if there was an equal even amount of threes that you took in it wouldn't matter because the sixes and nines are Will out compete the three so from what I've been reading it makes somewhat of a difference But let's be honest trying to fix a bad diet with right So that's I mean the main reason why I'm bringing it up is is that I Wonder when you read a lot of the studies that that control this are they controlling the diet to where they're in a either You know calorie restricted or more low balanced or balanced type of diet Or are they looking at the average American diet, which is really full of crap The ones that I read what they're doing is they're just taking people and they're not changing anything They're really and then they're just throwing fish oil. Yeah, that's interesting to me So it's like fish oil versus placebo because I that's why I feel like every doctor Cairo recommends fish oil and you know if you don't if they don't change their diet I'm like, you know, is it really doing anything for how often do you think that they're rancid because I know like that I used to kind of poke, you know hole in it and smell sometimes it was it was God awful I'm like I gotta get rid of this batch. It's a food. It's like any other food. Well, he's the one got me started Yeah, no, that's the way to go. I I started doing that when you said that first of all freezing them will preserve Prevent them from going bad. You can put them in the fridge, too But I like to freeze them then what happens some people complain about taking fish oil and then it like repeats on them Like they'll burp or something. Oh God. Yeah, okay if you freeze it that doesn't happen So if you freeze it take it I it doesn't happen I said I've had clients do that forever and people who complained about that I told them to freeze it and they said Oh, totally took care of that from right away. Oh, that's interesting. It's really good. Oh, that's really interesting Did you guys are I know I think Justin do you still read like the hustle and stuff? Do you follow? Did you read the did you read the story on the sharper image guy? Oh, I didn't get to that one Oh, dude, really really interesting. You guys know sharper image. Yeah store, right? Do they still exist? I don't know look and see if they're gone I think they might be gone. It's like super expensive You don't need Stories really his story is really cool the guy with the guy was born in the 40s and in the 70s He started sharper image and when he started it. Hey, Doug, you want to get that? Yeah, it's like when you're in class go ahead and answer the phone Yeah, go ahead. That's what I would do too. If I was a teacher answer that shit. Let me find out Give me let's talk to him. Let's talk to him. So he's in the 70s He started sharper image and he had this idea to go He'll go around to all these like conventions and find like these weird tech things that were just one off the small companies They weren't any of the big guys that were that were doing stuff that was different and odd his big home run The first thing that took him off was a digital watch So there wasn't way ahead of everybody. Yeah, there was no there was no digital watches around that time and He gets it he gets this digital watch and what was brilliant about him So he was up here in San Francisco and there was a guy and I in the I want to say the 70s or 80s that was famous for running with shirtless from old guy like in the 70s or 80s And he used to run run in San Francisco He ran the Golden Gate Bridge every single day no shirt on old dude Like everybody who drove that commute knew who this guy was He finds this guy He gets him that watch and he spends all these money on his first time ever a watch that could keep up with Carl whoa, whoa, whoa, whatever his name. I don't remember what his name was, right? Whoa, whoa, whoa, yeah And he's got the digital and it explodes and the dude ends up making millions of dollars. Wow, that's fascinating Right, so he ends up doing that it ends up I think he goes on like a good ten-year run of making millions you guys are and then this is kind of now moving into the 90s when we are around and we're very familiar with sharper image It was at the peak or it's at its height then with all the cool massage chair and weird stuff like that And then it takes it a nose dive dude like we go into a recession People aren't spending money on weird gadgets like that and the business almost goes completely bankrupt I think their stock drops from in the high 50s or 60s all the way down to like $2 And then you know what brought him back. I didn't know he was responsible for this the razor Like the razor the scooter. Oh shit. Yeah. Oh, wow He found it in Hong Kong at like a convention and he was the one who brought the razor over the states Wow, I didn't know that that thing exploded. Yes Sharper image is two things for me number. It's the number one store that I go into and buy nothing So that's number one. I always go into it because it's cool useless tech gear never buy shit and then number two They have really good vibrators. That's about it They're now they're not sold as vibrators, but they're hand missile their massage. So I think they're bankrupt now Let me see or they're gone now. Are they still in existence Doug? Yeah, they're online. I don't have stores anymore. I mean that weird shit So, you know what so you know what crippled them was he put all of his money into this air barbecue cleaner Yeah, it's all like the the combo stuff He came out with this in 2000 He came out with this air purifier that he like he spent so much money on the negative eye on one Yeah, and it did really well initially and then some Magazine I get some notorious magazine back then came out and rated it like the worst air purifier after it already sold tons And so gave him really bad pub and then instead of just letting it go He poured a tons of ton of money into suing and fighting and instead of them letting go they doubled and tripled down They wrote another article about I say not only is it the worst that it puts out bad Puts out. Yeah, like bad carbon air outside. It puts out bad it causes cancer. Yeah, yeah Completely like fuck the company and I think that's what closed all the stores down Wow and forced them so I wasn't sure they completely shut down or they went down So there's a store similar to sharper image Brookstone no, it's at Santana row and it's called beta. I think it's called have you guys been there? No, you guys seen it Doug seen it No, so it's called beta and you go in there and it's all this weird Tech stuff that you're not gonna find Brookstone is like this too. It's very something like that, right? But there was one thing that was super cool in there that we almost bought They just didn't have a size that we liked It was a picture frame that you hang up on the wall and then you download Paintings and pictures and it was it looked gorgeous So you could put it up in your house and change your paintings and pictures the Samsung frame Yeah, we do that too on that one. Oh, there's another thing. Yeah, you can does it look good Gallery this one looked amazing. The only problem is it wasn't big enough for where we wanted it We wanted a big one, you know, we could put up, but it looked really really cool Yeah I'm always wondering about that because I used to be really into like all the gear stuff and like all those different You know gadgets. Yeah gadgets and things and it's like what's left, you know What's left? That's really like futuristic other than like halt like little holograms or you know, like There's so much bro still like looking up on the thing right now What is that thing hanging by the but that's all just like I mean, this is just like Gadget yeah, it's lame to us right now because you don't understand it We don't use it But that's this is how these this is what he was known for what it was known for was finding like these gadgets that most people Would think is stupid. Well, let's see you clicked on one. Doug. What is that called right there? Closet Ionic air purifier. Yes, I want my shirts to have purified. Why yeah, so you know what this reminds me of stink Okay, you know what it reminds me of it reminds me of every 80s dad in the movies That was an inventor so in the 80s every movie where there's a dad. That's an inventor. Well, he makes weird do dads Okay, well, and you know, it's funny about that as you go back you watch all those movies and it has that One thing in common. It's always like Roups Goldberg or what's it called? Oh? Yes, some like bowling ball gets knocked down and it goes down this track and then it hits this coffee can and then it Swings over chicken lady just to like unscrew a dog a can of dog food and then dump it in its thing Yeah, like that was the invention. So every invention. I think you're I think it's called something like that There's like a name for these kind of inventions where they're they're extremely complex to perform very simple one stupid task Yeah, there there was this one I watched online where this guy put one together and it started in his front yard and I saw the whole no joke the whole video was ten minutes long and it starts in his front yard and it goes Through the front yard through he's got like this put on it goes over his roof into his backyard down this freaking alley It's like the most it's not over dominoes, but it just has all this cause and effect just to get to one Rube Goldberg. It's Rube Goldberg something like that something yeah, so and you can find these online These are like crazy Japanese inventions What is that face one up there? Oh to prevent splatter from eating soup You know, it's embarrassing when you splatter your face, but that's way less embarrassing. That's not embarrassing to wear Yeah, big sun thing around your face. Wow. Hey, look at the one on the bottom left. It's a napkin lion's man That's a helmet to prevent your head from going forward. We fall asleep on the subway What is that? That is exactly what that is What yeah, Japanese tend to fall asleep on the subways and trains so it has their head It has a plunger on the back and she plunges her head against the window to keep that is Look at the one in the middle. It's if you if you're like to cry or whatever. It's a paper roll It's above your head. So you just pull it down Wow, that's hilarious. I know a few people I could buy that for Hey, so so Adam, how annoyed is Katrina that you found another sport to watch? You found another sport well This is actually one of my favorite things about my wife is that and this is what you know keeps it in no She let me I tell you what it's true story This is there's there's been multiple moments of like when people asked me like oh, when did you know for sure? She was the one well I've fallen deeper in love with her every year for for 10 plus years and one of the things I'll never forget I'll never forget coming home from work and probably the first year that we were together and You know, I walked upstairs from a long day and she was in the living room all by this Obviously, we've no kids and nothing like that. She's living room by herself watching ESPN and I'm like, oh, I love this You know, I'll come home on it. I call me. That is a unicorn I'll work sometimes on a Sunday. She'll be watching football by herself. So she loves sports I mean she was a competitive athlete right so she and she doesn't discriminate like she likes all sports And we just got done. I told you guys I've got sucked into that Netflix The formula one so I'm on second season. I I benched the first season. I'm on second season right now And because what I'm to tell you be honest what I'm really excited about the sport That's different than maybe other sports. I picked up. I picked up hockey when I was in my 20s There was a lot going on to learn all that and figure that out Formula one was relatively easy to kind of become a fan of it because it's so small Mm-hmm. I mean there's only there's literally only 10 teams limited and there's only 20 drivers It didn't take me very long to learn all the teams learn all the drivers And then there's you know, the basically I think they have like a race almost every weekend when the season starts So there's there's only so many races. It's pretty easy to follow So when do you start betting on it? I don't know about that. We'll see we'll see that's when I know you're Well, yeah, but you know, I so I only bet on I only bet on basketball man in football because I watch I watch it and then when I bet basketball, I only bet warriors because I watch every game I feel like you and I know if I'm if I'm you know getting sucked into gambling I'm starting to bet on other stuff and I think it's irresponsible to bet on stuff that you're not Really like watching all of it. So you have somewhat of an educated guess, right? So it's a 50-50 chance and gambling sports no matter what I think if you're gonna be decent at it You should have You know, you should have no you should have I mean I'm up right now I mean you guys I've told you guys I've been like I try I have not not tracked this entire season And so, you know, I don't know if you if I have if I've told you guys or you guys have been over the house since then but you know, I hit the quarter mark so this is you know, we're at the end of the first quarter and You know, it it funded my my two new surround sound setups that I Got some Kev I got a Kev speakers down in the lower part of the house upstairs I bought some Bowers and Wilkins Which are really nice setups for the the TVs and stuff that's smart and it's all sponsored At least now now you can't do anything with that money. Well, that's how I justify it, right? So and if I would have not I wouldn't have bought those if you lose you're gonna sell them No, it's like where the speakers go Adam. I'll break it up like in quarters like that, right? And Katrina was asking me. She's just like whoa another sound like hey, it's it's on the it's on the gambling It's on the gambling thing on my side. Yeah So little rounder she I mean she loves it. She's into it. We both got into the show And the actually this weekend was the first time So I told you guys when I originally was talking about formula one that I have like I kind of peered in on it I knew a tiny tiny bit about it and I still know very little about it In fact, this was my first beginning to end watching an entire race and I you know, I really enjoyed it because of what I what I know now Because of the what how brilliant is that for like for Netflix to do things like that I can't I can't be the only one who's now I had bunch of people DM me too that said like oh my god I'm a fan now that's great. The show has turned so many people on till watching it I didn't realize how much kind of behind-the-scene drama is going on and it sucked me in Well, I wonder if like ultimate fighters sort of did that for the UFC. Of course. It's like 100% Are you kidding me that fight between uh, god, no, I can't remember that Who was that last force griffin and stefan bono. There you go That right there epic fight. It's one of it's still the top 10 ever It actually it actually is credited with making the UFC profitable again was was all that yeah Yeah, yeah, I mean people do have to buy into the whole drama of it and really just get inside information That's the worst is when you go to a sporting event You just don't you don't know what it takes to kind of pull this off. You have to be invested to me That's what makes uh all sports so amazing is when you start to learn enough about like even like a lot of people Think baseball is so boring, but baseball has so many little things that are happening behind the scenes and every every move Or go stand behind home plate and watch, you know a 90 mile an hour fastball. Oh, that's just just watch it See like pretend you can hit that the good fucking luck Two most impressive things I've ever seen in my entire life were a 300 pound uh pro football players run Okay, that was terrifying to see in real life. Yeah, it's like it's like a train Going faster than I thought someone could run anybody and then a a fastball You watch a fastball live. It doesn't make any sense at all how you can even hit that Well, that it was so much fun when we went uh before the game started we went to a Niners game And we went down on the field so we were able to get on the field with my boys And uh, they were just warming up and catching balls and you know, one of the players came over and said hi It was really cool. Uh, but they were starting to run drills and just like running drills And one of the guys came so close to hitting us and he was like a monster, you know, my boys are just like But you just don't realize you don't put in perspective until you're like on their level It's not the same Well, you guys are also talking about the physics of the game like i'm talking about there's there's games within the game That's what makes oh, that's still a strategy like so in formula one has a lot of that Right, so there's like if you if you start to learn the behind the scenes drama Like let's say there's like beefs. Well, yeah, there's major beef So there's and there's a lot of money on the line in contracts And you know, you would think so that's something I didn't know until I started watching this Most all formula one teams they have they have two they have two drivers Rarely ever do the drivers like each other Because they're competing they're competing for the contract to be the number one guy They want to win the race too And so You'll see and so if you know this going into the race and you're watching am I shake or am I bake? You're watching some of the stuff that these guys do you get and then the same thing was how I fell in love with Hockey, you know when you find out what you know what the enforcers are on the team and you can watch a certain player hit the ice And you know his job is to go to the other team and go fuck a guy And that could be completely completely away from the puck one, you know, you're right It's just human nature You know, there was one thing that happened was very controversial super dramatic that exploded viewership for figure skating Do you guys remember Nancy Carrion and Tonya Harding? That's right. That was yeah that literally boomed Figure skating and for the listeners don't know look it up literally somebody hired a hit man The most hilarious her competitor If you haven't watched a movie the Tonya documentary is phenomenal. I've watched it multiple times. It's so good. That's crazy That's a really really good doc speaking of good movies dude great movie. You can watch it on amazon prime It's like one of those in theater movies that you can rent at home. It's called manari. I think it's called and it's about a Very heartwarming movie about this korean family That they're immigrants and they're in america and they buy farmland in middle america To try to to succeed and start a farm is such a good movie It's one of those movies you totally get pulled in and just really feel that's your best pitch on it I love it. I love it. Oh bro immigrants Trying to make it with honest hard work and the challenges that they over of course for me That's very personal right because my family's immigrant. How did it do is it has it? Is it I mean It was a sundance film festival Like winner. It's a super highly ranked. I mean you can look up rotten tomatoes and see what it's did it just get released I haven't even seen the preview. It is it got released on You could get it in the on amazon prime, but you have to pay like 20 bucks because it's like one of those in theater movies Yeah, so it's you know, it's one of those It's not super exciting. There's not a lot how would action. Yeah, but it's great. Look at that rotten tomatoes Look at the radio. Wow. Wow. Wow. Justin. How's your weekend? It was great I mean we went to sanctuary. So we got we got to get away for a bit and we haven't Actually connected like that in a long time like Courtney and I so it was just like great to be removed from the dogs From the kids from you know, and we have like a lot of We're we're kind of back and forth right now too with what to do with our house Situation and all this stuff like we've been living in the same place for 11 years now And had all these plans to remodel make it big and massive and all this But then you know, there's like a house that pops up on the market here and there that we're kind of enticed by And it's just like a lot of questions and unknowns And so, you know, this kind of helped us to just like slow down and be like, oh, we're in a really good place Everything's working out just fine. And uh, you know, just to to chill and be in the sun and all that So we we like how long's it been since you you and corny had had two days back to back with no kids No dogs I Want to stay I don't know man. It's probably like I don't know over a year or so You have to do it, dude. You have to do it. You have to like Otherwise it should just starts to get like monotonous and and scheduled and stressful and whatever Oh, yeah, yeah, I mean and all that's the thing is we're a team and we're always like kind of covering for each other But it's just like when you keep doing that and you keep You know going about your your day in your business. You just you forget to just hang out You know and like in connecting stuff. So Yeah, that place is so magical, man Like you know the waves crashing everything in the morning The only thing that we had like these kids Above us like the second night that we're just stomping everywhere like all like little kids are like teenagers Yeah, little kids. Oh little kids. We do it, which is rare there. You don't see that very often Oh, sorry, we usually don't put kids above, you know on the top floor and and I'm like, yeah That was a problem. Then you guys just have loud ass sex at night. Yeah Yeah, here's some inappropriate noise. This is what's happening for you guys right now. Yeah You know, it's it's so true that and I don't care how How healthy or how good of a relationship you claim you have It really does take an effort to to make sure you do those things. I mean that was You know Katrina and I figured that out a long time ago and and just made a deal that we would just We would put things on the calendar Ahead of time because life hits you and when you got kids and shit going on and like you said when you're like a team So, oh, she's covering the house. I got this going on over here. Then when you switch I'll get the kids you would dogs you'll do this and before you know it months and months and months start passing by And you haven't spent Quality time with this partner, you know, there's just so many things that you got to put in perspective that you just like I don't you lose sight of like so She's been at the house for an entire year basically like a prisoner You know because like you got to you got to make sure you manage the kids to get through these stupid zoom Calls and then all the work and everything else on the computer and to keep them You know focus it ends up like eating up the entire day And like she just looks forward to when I come home and it's like underneath the redwoods in the dark and so it's just like You know a lot of these things I didn't put in you know to perspective with like, okay We need somewhere where there's more sun and we need like, you know We need we need more room and all this kind of stuff It's just that it's coming out ahead where a lot of this You know stuff that that you just kind of go about your thing and don't realize it's been building up building up Building up and and it's going to become a real massive issue if we don't take care of it And you got to be around other people and because of covet people were afraid to be around each other So you're an adult You know at least we get to come here and talk to each other right and have this like stimulating conversation But like this is like Jessica. She's at home. It's her and the baby Which is fine. There's nothing wrong with that, but there's no adults. There's no stimulating conversation There's no connection. Exactly. So it's like and then I come home same thing. She's excited to talk to me And maybe I'm tired. I just want to watch tv. Well, that's a good thing to do. Yeah, you know Do you come home? I'll talk to all day. Yeah I'm mad. I've had lots of connecting time with adults. I'll just chill, you know Not good, you know, you were talking about buying houses and stuff man. I tell you what dude I am all I'm constantly playing this game Where I sometimes want to sometimes I don't want to just because of where we live Right because that's why I'm so back and forth because it just it doesn't make sense, you know, sometimes it might You know, it's just like you got to really value the logical side of me Right looks at the cost to buy a house in the bay area the amount of capital that would it would tie up And what I could do with that capital of course from an investment standpoint makes no sense The emotional side of me which was raised by old school, you know Sicilian parents who are like must own your house that you live in never rent or whatever I'm like, you know, in my play this game, right? And I look at house. I'm like, oh, maybe I'll I'll get that one. I'm like, but then I'd be tying up all this and I could do that with it And it's like, ah It's back and forth Well, I mean the truth is that no investor would would tell you it's a smart investment right now because it None of the house is in the bay area past the 20x rule Everything everything is it exceeds price of the house. In fact, yeah, you wouldn't be able to rent it at all In fact, they would tell you know, the 20x rule was designed to help people with like when they should sell a house, right? So most people who have owned a home for more than three or four years in the bay area It's beyond 20x and so explain what you're saying the 20 so you take there You take what the house would get rent for so for like so figure whatever the going rate is Yeah, whatever the going rate is for for the entire year and then you multiply that by 20 If the number is lower the rent number is lower than the house is valued Overvalued it's valued too high and that would be a good indicator to sell it sell it cash it out It's well over 20 20x if it's under it's a great buy. So like when we make investments on real estate, they're all under So it's it's a great buy because we could technically rent it for more than what we would actually pay the mortgage for And the bay area you I've done this a ton of and that's what always stops me. I'm like, man I really like this house and I'm trying to tell myself it's doing the same thing you guys are doing And then I plug I calculated out and it's like so let's try this out, right? So in san jose just to give people Watching some context right in san jose if you were to buy A deep like an okay, not a great but just an okay, you know, I don't know 2000 square foot four bedroom house that's not Broken down or whatever you're going to spend what like 1.4 1.5. Yeah, which one would you say is probably more accurate? That's around there 1.4 1.5. Okay, so one let's say 1.4 1.5. Yeah that same house you would rent For about 5,000. Oh not even you're lucky if you're getting unless you're in a nice area You probably get 4,000 something for it. Let's just say five even to play that game So 5,000 so to do that rule I'd go times 12 and then times 20. Yeah, okay times 20 1.2 So the house is 1.4 1.5 right this does not pass that it's 200,000 the opposite direction Right And so the problem with that is if you buy the house you're locked into it forever That's it you can't and that's the thing that that's why there's no escape unless the market keeps climbing exactly That's why it's a bad investment and even if it still keeps climbing You're still forced to sell to get out of it. Correct, you know in a just not smart investing right right if you You read uh, you know what not rich who wrote rich dead poor dad He wrote real estate riches and the idea is to keep the properties. It's not to You know play I mean a lot of people play the game where they they buy the house They live in and then they wait five years they sell and they upgrade and they do that always Speculating on the price right your your complete speculation But a smart investment would be to buy the house keep the house when you're ready to upgrade you keep the house Still you rent it out for cash flow and then you move to your next Yeah, one of the rules that it might have been enriched at poor dad or maybe the one you're talking about He said never uh, your house that you live in is not an investment or it's it's a liability because you live there Right if shit goes bad The place you live is screwed now if you're renting it and it's on the side now If something happens, you're okay because the place you live is not is not That's what just makes it so hard to buy in the bay area right now Is it and you know, there's a lot of people and by the way, too If you read all the articles on what can they speculate in this year and next year to continue rise It's here because the inventory is low You know So there is a very good chance that it'll keep going up And if you did buy a house in the bay area that in five years from now It'll be worth hundreds of thousands of dollars more than what it is But again, you're still people are making a shit ton of equity right you're still trapped though You are and you're still unless you're putting 50 percent down on it If you're putting the at what the most people are putting down 20 to 25 tops percent down to your point And on a 1.5 million dollar you're tying up 300,000 Yeah, 300,000 plus dollars now What could you do with 300,000 dollars in other areas for investments by three to five houses And each one of them making you money cash flowing from rent right and again, you're you're not you're not tied down to You know having to live there to pay it. It's it's it's actually making at least breaking even or making you money So, you know, I I mean, you know, we're all in the same boat with the the idea of doing that It's hard to do that, you know to to justify Buying the place that you live in here and people go, oh, what about the tax benefits? Well, you know, there's lots of tax benefits to investing out of state and doing other things with your money So the tax especially now because they really they cap the tax benefit You know that right like you can you know getting more benefits past 750 But they don't matter but in the average house like you just said, you know Your track home is 1.5 million. So you're only getting the the tax benefits on 50% of that It's funny. I know there's people listening in most parts of america or like one point totally different Let's just watch a tv show on hg tv I hate that show. It's so bad. We were watching that this weekend. I wanted to strangle everybody on there Well, you know, I gave you a 200,000 dollar budget. What is this like all like complaining Yeah, $200,000 budget here is like I remodeled my garage. Oh, yeah, seriously. I made a shack outside. It's hilarious I'm gonna take a left and talk about one of our sponsors because This has only happened to me A couple times since we've had the podcast. So we get approached by Sponsors all the time who want to work with us and whatever and we have a very stringent criteria For working with companies, right? We have to number one, of course Believe in the product. We have to all try it. We have to all use it regularly really like it We have to like the people we're working with they can have a great product if we don't like the people We're not going to work with them It's also got to provide value to our audience So it can't be just some one-off type of thing that maybe I like because of my whatever It's got to have like lots of value, right? So but every once in a while one of our sponsors will bring a new product that they have so we're already working with them This happened with uh with ned Ned's hemp oil By far is the best on the market. I've used them all i'm a big cbd guy Anybody who's listened to the podcast for a long time knows I talk about cannabinoids because it's helped my gut health From day one significantly they have the best hemp oil, right? But they came out with another product and it was it's their mellow and it's this magnesium based supplement And only happened to me a couple times where I look at something and I just briefly looked at the ingredients and I go Ah, it's not gonna have it's magnesium big deal I'm not gonna I'm that's not gonna be that big of a deal and it literally sat in our studio for like months I think it was months Yeah, then I finally picked it up and I did a little digger a little a little bit deeper digging And I saw that one of the forms of magnesium was created by mit as the only form of magnesium to cross the brain You know the the blood brain barrier, right exactly So I tried it Blew my mind since then I've been introducing it to all kinds of family members and friends And everybody's like what is this? This is incredible. My sister actually messaged me last week that it's her favorite product now She's like, holy shit. I heard you guys talk about mellow last Whatever commercial whatever it was a couple weeks ago when we first talked about it And she's like I just tried it last night for the first night and she's like it blows away I was a little worried because I felt like, you know, they peaked when they made their sleep product Right because it was so good. It was so like it worked so well And it's like something that we would just mention and be like I I know for sure if you try that like it's gonna work like that and so Yeah, it was a little bit of skepticism On my own part and Courtney's part as well with mellow But uh, we took it like in like an hour beforehand just started to really chill out the the rest of the night and then Boom out like a light now amazing now is what is so is Is it that they are the only ones that are using this type of magnesium? Does nobody else use that no other people have used this form of magnesium and there's three different types of magnesium So they picked specifically a combination of three types that's going to be effective You're the problem with magnesium. First of all, most people Are deficient magnesium, especially if you're under a lot of stress you get poor sleep This side effects of being too low on magnesium or like anxiety restlessness Your immune system is low and if it gets real bad bone loss muscle loss that kind of stuff But mainly it's like if you just feel kind of edgy bad mood that kind of stuff, right? That's what happens typically when people are too low the problem with most magnesium is you it just doesn't get absorbed It's like a it's basically a laxative you take most magnesiums on the market and you just helps you poop That's about it. It's not you absolutely Go take most of them and you'll notice that you'll have a big poop But there's nothing really happening in terms of how you feel absolutely This particular and also combines gaba. There's also gaba in this product, which really I think takes it over the top But with this particular product and theanine, right? Theanine and then the magnesium proven proven stuff This the magnesium 308 that's in there has been shown to improve cognitive function even so it's actually been shown to help to make people Think more clearly and more sharply the difference between sleep and this is sleep will put you to sleep Mellow literally chills you out So you could take it to sleep or you could just any anxiousness is pretty much absolved. Yes. So I did this yesterday I had a little bit too much caffeine I was texting you guys and I can show you guys could tell took some mellow and it took the edge off I didn't go to sleep, but I just felt I haven't tested it like that I want to test it because every once in a while I make that mistake where I do too much caffeine or go too late And then that always fucks my sleep and now it'll balance you out right away. Wow. I gotta try that Hey, I hope you're enjoying this podcast real quick head over to mind pump free calm and get some of our free written content We got a bunch of books and guides there for free go check them out You can actually don't download all of them and it costs you nothing again It's mind pump free calm. All right. Enjoy the rest of the podcast Our first question is from saraya gram Can limited flexibility or range of motion inhibit gains? For example, will a reduced range of motion in a hip thrust prevent me from maximum muscle growth? Or will I see growth because this is my max extension? Yeah 100% lack of mobility can inhibit muscle growth And there's a there's a there's a range of how much it impacts you And that has to do with your how bad your range of motion is If your range of motion and mobility is so bad that you can't for example barbell squat Which is one of the most if not the most effective lower body exercise, so you can't do barbell squats Then you're not going to build as much muscle as a cascading effect Absolutely if your range of motion is limiting you by a couple inches It's going to make a small difference. Maybe but studies are very clear Lord good long appropriate. I have to say appropriate because I don't want people to to push the range of motion past their mobility But appropriate range of motions if you have a a deep range of motion you compare it to a shallow range of motion Both appropriate the deep range of motion is going to build more muscle and give you strength That spans a greater range, right? So if you let's say I do a curl and I go six inches Most of the strength that I gain is going to be in that six inches if I do a 12 inch extension Then it's going to be to the 12 inches So more strength across a broader range and it equals more muscle shout out to us right? I remember who this is so I met her at uh orange theory God probably four year four plus years ago now many more five years ago now Um, and I and I was helping her she wanted to develop her glutes And by the way, she's got a incredible physique already But she was very quad dominant and I remember watching her train inside orange theory And giving her some exercises to do to help that out and definitely what she lacks the depth in her squat So she's got she's got a good form good technique, uh down to like 90 degrees or whatever But breaking that 90 degrees and getting really good depth I think her her ankle mobility and hip mobility kind of limit her from getting that deep So I had her doing some things in the in the in the class that I would add specifically for her to help her out With developing the glutes now to sallis point. Um, I 100% agree I do want to add though that I wouldn't eliminate the hip thrust because of that right so just because the hip thrust is a Shorter range of motion. Uh, I wouldn't eliminate it as a great exercise for you still to build your glutes complimentary Yeah, absolutely still continue to do hip thrust But in conjunction with also working on the the depth of your squat and working on the mobility and trying to get yourself to a place Where you can do a full range of motion squat. Yeah, and I think too like I mean to to play sort of the other side of it There's unfavorable uh movements and and things and when you're just really trying to seek like excessively Like wide ranges of motion and like a lot of these like mobility guys really geek out and get into this kind of stuff But I was trying to explain to my son who I had brought up on the podcast before I was doing all the the Russian dance where it's like basically You're squatting your butt's almost hitting the floor But then you're jumping and he's kicking his legs out like that and he really like hurt his knee Uh, and I'm trying to explain to him like doing all that explosive movement You know in that position and that kind of a lever on like and your knees gonna suffer from that like that's not favorable for you, uh to you know to to provide strength and support but Obviously, you know, that's something that you kind of work up towards but there's certain Like ranges where it's like ideal like yes a lower position You're gonna get gain the full amount and it's gonna like translate more to your glutes And like a lot of times like people don't break that plane And it needs and it requires more ankle support and ankle mobility Yeah, you you got a train your range of motion has to be appropriate. You have to own the range of motion So I don't want people to listen to this and be like, oh Deeper is better. So then they go they go past what they can control and they compromise that that means you're gonna hurt yourself That happens a lot Yeah, it does you have to own the range of motion So the idea is to train in the largest range of motion that you own So that's it and then and then from there If you want to work towards getting a larger range of motion Be careful use mobility and correctional exercises and don't load until you own that range of motion I also know that sariah was obviously she was doing orange theory So she was big on the you know the circuit training type of classes So hopefully you've eliminated those classes and you and you're doing more strength training because There's two other things that I would include for you that we didn't talk about Good mornings I would definitely include for you And then I'd also do sumo deadlifts and then hopefully when you're doing things like hip thrust and extra like that You're you're able to look like you're doing it with the barbell and loading heavy I mean we are doing this in a class setting So I had her like you know doing floor bridges with you know dumbbells on her hips where she should be She was strong too. So she's a very strong girl She should be doing 200 plus pounds on hip thrust and be able to do good mornings probably pretty loaded too So I would focus on those three movements Next question is from malibu banks After doing deadlifts, how do you know if you're just really sore if your form wasn't correct and might have caused a small injury? Okay, so soreness versus injury, you know when I used to hear this from clients I used to always kind of scratch my head like how do you know? How do you not know the difference? It's kind of obvious But then I realized that people just aren't in their bodies right if you don't exercise a lot Yeah, it's a new stimulus. Yes, and I and you see this with kids a lot when I do Certain exercises with my kids They and they get sore like my daughter will wake up and she'll be like, you know call me from her room and I'll be like What's the matter? She's like I hurt my legs. Yeah, I'd like you hurt your legs You know make show me where it hurts and then I'll move her around. I'll be like you're sore, honey Like she doesn't know the difference between soreness and pain so I can kind of get that. All right, so Soreness is in the muscle Pain and it's in the muscle and you don't see lots of inflammation. You don't see discoloration And uh, it doesn't cause a major dysfunction typically, right? You can get super sore to the point where that what that happens in which case I would consider that almost an injury Injuries you typically feel in the joints So if you're doing deadlifts, you might get some soreness in the muscles that run up and down the spine You might get some soreness in your hips. You might get some soreness in your forearms But you shouldn't have pain in the spine and the actual spine or in the hip joint That's typically uh, where you're you're either injured or you're about to get injured well on to just like more of a shooting pain like more of a electricity almost where it's like you start to move in a direction and then It limits you and it inhibits like the the movement Completely to where you have to kind of sit down. You have to adjust what you're normally doing to where you really can't pull it off I would say that that's something that you know is more towards the injuries spectrum But yeah, it's funny because a lot of times too people get sore in Stabilizing muscles in there and it's it's hard to distinguish like what that is, right? It's even happened to me one time where I'm like, oh my god It's my kidney or my liver or something. It's just like my oblique, you know I haven't had a sore oblique or a sore ql and it's just uh, you know They did something where they twisted or rotated and their the body had to really brace really hard and they didn't realize Typically too an injury will Either get worse over time and or will take a long time Uh, where soreness will get progressively better, right? So like if you get sore and you feel really really sore Typically sometimes a day two of being sore is really bad, right? But normally day three day four day five day six every day you feel progressively better when you're sore Many times when you're you've injured something you've strained a ligament or your your joints are hurting so that It will it will hang around much longer and sometimes even get and it doesn't feel better when you move it That's a big one. If you're sore, you can move the muscle and that's right. You a lot better injury You move it it feels right like you like you are using your your daughter for example You've hurt her legs are hurting because they're sore and you were to put her in and you stretched her for a good 20 minutes She would feel better after that So if you if you get if you stretch or do yoga or do mobility And it seems to make whatever wherever you feel feel better Good chance of that soreness if it feels worse when you're doing stuff like that. Be careful. It could be an injury Next question is from dragon from india What are the top five must-haves for longevity and health? Are they attainable without spending a ton of money on supplements jim member memberships, etc? Yes, okay health and longevity. Yes, most of these things I'm about to say are are definitely attainable and I'm going to use general categories because we could break down each category and get into specifics or whatever so I think the first thing is Good appropriate physical activity. Now, of course, we talk about physical activity on the show all the time We talk about that our favorite types and what types are the most beneficial blah blah blah, but generally speaking good appropriate physical activity Diet is the other one so a good healthy diet again We can get into specifics so it's much more complex than what I'm saying But that's one of them the next one is your family and relationship health So are you do you have good relationships with the people around you and your family and your kids and your spouse? That's very important for health. Then there's spiritual health Okay, by the way, these are all proven these are all proven with multiple multiple studies Okay, spiritual health is very important now people ask what do you mean by spiritual health? Is it religion? Yeah, that's religions one way To to work on spiritual health. It's one of the most Time-tested and proven ways, but there's lots of other ways But essentially spiritual health is taking that You know as my friend Arthur Brooks would say that 40,000 view look at yourself and humanity and the world It's looking at things from that perspective that those big Thoughts those deep thoughts, you know pondering the meaning of life and you know, if there's acknowledging how small you are That's it. That's that's that's that spiritual health and are you spending time Fostering that right on a regular basis just like you would with exercise diet and then your relationships family and friends And then the last one and then again, this is proven by studies is to have Meaningful purposeful work. This is actually quite important. Um, in fact studies show that People's risk of dying. This is a weird one. Look this up People's risk of dying Skyrockets after they retire oftentimes. So here are people working a job all the time wake up at you know 7 a.m. Got to go to work whatever then they retire and they're like, oh, this is gonna be so great I don't have to work anymore is a real depressed and in depression goes up anxiety goes up and in death goes up because We are wired to feel like we're productive. We have to feel like we're contributing Otherwise, we feel like like lost, right? So this can be a job where you get you get paid It could be volunteer work It could be whatever something that you wake up every day and it's hard It takes effort, but you feel very lots of purpose and meaning behind those Those are the five things if you got all those and you focus on all those you have a good chance of Better good health and longevity. Doug, didn't we do an episode on this? Didn't we do? Yeah, I guess we did He always asked me these I do well I ask you because I expect that by the time this is over you'll find it Give it to Andrew so Andrew can throw it up in the youtube and right now He'll probably put it up right here where you can actually see it on the youtube channel. There it is. I saw that That's nice and people convenient things because we went in depth With this topic actually and I think sal hit on that although I will give you something For those that are not religious or spiritual and but would want I would say another way to explain a spiritual health for a non religious person is the pursuit of ultimate self-awareness emotional intelligence I think if if the the whole You know spiritual and religious thing absolutely scares you and you and you don't want to do anything like that I think Pursuing self-awareness and ecu is probably the same direction that you're totally. Yeah, you're gonna get in value You're gonna get from that. Yeah, I think too. I mean it's it's definitely the relationship And you've highlighted those studies before it's just like it's so much bigger than I think Society right now even realizes and this is what worries me the most with the trends of you know the aftermath of a pandemic And where we're all at as a society with you know pushing people away pushing all our friends all our family away masking up You know not having those interactions with human beings is really A detriment to our health and this is something that you know You think you're you know, you're protected you're you're protecting yourself from from all these like You know invading viruses and things out in the world, but at what compromise are we? You know like facing in terms of doing that versus like what that's going to do towards our long-term health In interactions with other human beings you by the way and this is I heard this again from Arthur Brooks You can be alone and lonely and be around people you can be In a city with lots of people but also be very lonely And have health consequences as a result. It's funny. I was having a conversation this weekend with Jessica We were it was a beautiful sunday god yesterday was gorgeous And I was sitting outside with Jessica and the you know, we the baby You know went down for an app or whatever and we're talking and she's got an interesting story So I've said this I've told a long time ago. I talked about you know, kind of what she did before on the podcast But she used to travel with the circus used to travel with Cirque du Soleil So she's had the the amazing opportunity to live In all these different countries and we were talking about what it's like to live in spain What was what's it like to live in italy or greece or some of these other countries? And she goes it's so weird, you know, it's like she's like in spain They did they do the siesta, you know, and I'm like, oh, yeah, it's weird and in italy in the summer Like everybody shuts down in august everything's closed Nobody works in august and they and and they spend a lot of time Like lunch will be two hours or three hours and we're talking about this and on the one hand We're like, oh man, you know, you could be so much more productive or whatever and I said, you know, it's funny When you look at the studies on longevity for people who live in these places Even though they smoke more cigarettes and even if they're fat like americans are even if they have obesity like we do They live longer. Why do they live longer? These cultures really value human connection quite a bit Like you go to lunch with your friends. It's powerful. I'm telling you in southern italy If you go to lunch with your friends, here's what it looks like. I noticed this as a kid You go to a restaurant in in in america when you go there the per the server brings you your food and your bill at the same time Right now if you've never been anywhere else This is normal for you. It's like you get your food and your bill They want you to eat and get the hell out and it's all about eating and getting the hell out in italy It's rude to give you the bill unless you ask for it And they take their sweet ass time bringing you to each thing and you chill It's like two hours for for lunch and I got frustrated at first when I went there as a kid I'm like, oh, I want to and then I realized like they're just they're here to like connect and hang out and whatever It's a social thing. Yeah, so that's a very very important part of health and fitness fanatics who are unhealthy and their pursuit of fitness Oftentimes is the one thing they completely throw out the window. It's like, uh, no, it's all about working out It's all about diet and they're not connecting with friends. They're not connecting with family They're not socializing because they're afraid they're gonna lose their gains. They're afraid They're not going to be ripped or whatever not realizing that their health is suffering as consequence. Well, I noticed too We didn't we didn't plug any of our sponsors and supplements and talk about biohacking shit Like all all these things don't a lot of these things don't cost you any money It's just that they get overlooked just take effort and in our society always wants to jump to like whatever pill or whatever cool Like that even the way the questions worded that how that's not really expensive like yeah, none of these things costs money You know, it takes time that takes effort, you know, but you know, it's a it's something that we've lost sight of I feel like as a country sometimes Next question is from Cassidy Hoffman official Can my body adapt to neat in the same way it would to cardio? Y'all talk about body adapting to cardio in a way that you'll have to keep adding more for it to be effective Will the need I employ to prevent weight gain do the same? All right, so if we're talking about calorie burn and fat loss and that kind of stuff Yeah, your body starts to burn less calories. Your body starts to adapt But here's the problem and I think sometimes when people hear us talk about this they get the message That that's all the value of active of cardiovascular activity or neat is that is the fat burning effect There's another side to this which is it's good for you. You don't have to burn more You don't have to get ripped. You don't have to burn more cow. It's just good for you to move In fact sitting down all day long is worse for you than smoking cigarettes and As bad as having a bad diet. So who cares who cares? It's just good for you It's good for your health is for your mental health good for your physical health Reduces inflammation lowers your risk of cancer heart disease diabetes everything. So forget the fat loss I think sometimes we get so focused on how is it going to make me look We forget about how that's because we come out and we talk about that right because that's the number one thing that you get Asked as a trainer is everybody wants to know the fastest way to lose fat To get in shape or to look a certain way and so we address the cardio thing from that perspective So often it does not mean that we don't think that there's tremendous value In somebody doing a 30 minute bout of cardio every single day. I think that's I think it's a great or an hour even That's great. If it's something that's a part of your lifestyle and you can maintain that forever But absolutely the body will adapt to that and it will not be the best way for you to lean out So you really gotta you have to know who we're trying to communicate that information to We're communicating it to the masses that think that cardio is a great way to lose body Yeah, and if they and they only have three hours a week cell What should I do to burn body fat? Well, if you only have three hours a week lift weights, right? That's the most effective way but yeah moving is good for you period Well, even if you put them apples to apples you got that one hour block or whatever and like you burn x amount of calories in that one hour block versus You know all day long. You're just up. You're active. You're moving. We've seen this We've we've tested this like how many more how much more effective you are at even burning calories But yeah, like to to what you brought up. It's it's just beneficial. It's beneficial You're getting things done in your house. You're expressing all the joints in your body You're you're pumping blood constantly throughout the day There's just so many recuperative elements to that versus like trying to then now add a you know A very specific stress to your body to get a your your body fat to the lower total in one more thing And I'll I'll do the I'll make this argument all day long One hour of cardio done all at once versus Three 20 minute bouts of cardio or whatever. Okay, everything being equal the difference is one is done all at once The other one's done throughout the day the one done throughout the day will have Superior benefits more carry over across the board. It's better. It's going to be better for health joint health brain health It'll probably be better even for fat loss to a small degree It's better to move throughout the day Then to dedicate one hour of movement and then the rest of the day sit down even if the time is all equal But back to comparing to needs like need is technically none of the exercise even walking is technically not neat I know we've discussed it as if it was like need is supposed to be non exercise Activity that you you mindlessly do which would be more like a tick Right a ticker moving around a little bit in your seat like that is like non exercise movement throughout the day No matter what what it is You your body adapts to everything and it doesn't take very long for it to start to adapt and then you lose The benefits of the the fat burning from it, right? It's not it's not that ideal But it still doesn't take away from why you should be active all day long so It's it's one of those conversations I feel like we continually have to repeat ourselves that we've I don't know We've been labeled as these like non cardio guys and that's just because 90 percent of all clients that ever hired one of us if not more than that Wanted to lose body fat and they think that cardio is the best way to do it And so we we're always having to address this will guarantee 99% of people haven't just deliberately focused on like increasing the amount of activity They have versus like thinking they have to do cardio. So that's why we highlight that More than the other and and there's another way to do this And you know, eventually you'll get adapted to but I I would love to see you try That's right.
