Seems like these days everybody is super successful Grew up under difficult circumstances Is that a prerequisite for entrepreneurial success? Should I kick my kids out of the house? You want them to be successful? Yes The next question was, you know, if maps, you know, programming is superior Then why do bodybuilders still use body part splits? There's a little bit of a myth going on here That splits are always ineffective Not true, when you apply the right kind of methodology to split training Your body will respond, we talk about it in this episode The next question was, what are the best ways to keep track of progress? This particular individual is working out Their weights are going up They're eating healthy But the weight on the scale isn't changing So they're feeling unmotivated The final question, this person finds that it's hard to be confident without being self-depreciating Or, how do you become confident without being cocky?

Ever Dang! Because they were big when we were kids, right? Don't call to come back A lot of brands have made a comeback It's been really interesting to watch Champion, Fila, Stucey Champion was in Kmart When I was a kid If you were champion, you were broke It wasn't cool Now it's fucking cool So champion has made a comeback Which is crazy to me Talk about a cocky name though, huh? Champion Yeah Fila Remember, Fila had its run back When we were kids Shit, our first uniform At 24, our fitness was affiliated with Fila Fila, I never liked Fila Come on Yeah, so I actually bought some Fila fans You don't like Fila? No, it's stupid When I was a kid I thought Fila was Phil's Because it looks like an S at the end A cursive S I was like Phil's So the talk of the town right now Is the new song I think it's Made in America By Childish Gambino The Danny What's his name? That's the one you just showed us Danny Glover He's a comedian Right And he's playing Lando in the new Solo film He's definitely Oh, is he really? Yes Oh, I didn't know that Yeah, they actually approached him Well, a lot of his fans wanted him to be the next Spider-Man And then that one didn't happen So I'm glad that he got the role Actually for Lando God, he's perfect for it He looks great for it He looks just like him Yeah, he's a funny guy too So I mean, you just showed me the video And this was a pretty deep topic Right, right I know he's addressing the recent shooting By Stephen Clark and Sacramento That just happened not that long ago So I know there's lines in there That he's addressing that Definitely heavy, man Yeah, very heavy Very artsy I thought it was fucking super creative To do something like that For the most part I like stuff like this For the most part But I also see the other side of it too I also think sometimes it feeds into This separation thing That's the part I don't like about it I appreciate it And I'll tell you why I appreciate it It's an artistic expression It's nonviolent Well, except in the video Well, I mean, real violence It's not real violence He's speaking against it I mean, yes Yeah, and I appreciate that Even if I disagree with someone's opinion I really appreciate it When someone can express themselves In a way that can make an impact Or at least get people to start talking Because here's what I got from the video It looks like he was showing two sides One side is the facade The smiles You'll make money You'll go whatever And the other side was harsh reality Of violent culture Of violent societies that we see Or violent subcultures Or sub-societies that we see within America Which, you know, they need to get voiced out People need to keep talking about them Yeah, you see a lot of I mean, in the political climate You see a lot of saying things that You know, there's a lot of entertainment That sort of distracts America When we're overseas And there's all this stuff happening And like shootings and, you know We're assassinating people But it's like, you know Then right back to the dancing And singing and entertainment, you know And so it's like It's kind of showing that like crazy contrast That we're just It's almost like it's one of those You're asleep and we need to wake up Kind of a message Yeah, I appreciate it I don't know if I I have to watch it more times To really kind of break it down And see what he's trying to communicate But I appreciate that It's that music has They're doing it through music Or they're doing it in a way that Because there's like 18 million views You said in two days Yeah, it's number one trending in Like 20 different countries right now So it's exploding right now This is only one day old See, this is what music Back in the day, this was what music did It still does When you say that, you sound so old, bro It still does it Music still does it You know what it is You just are unaware of it I'm trying to help you become aware of it It's not the same, dude And here's why because Of course it's not the same It's different, it's different times No, not because it's different music But because you had a very strong counterculture In the past And today there isn't That same counterculture That's what I mean There's a lot more Yeah, there's a lot more Music now that's just for You know, fun and games I think there's more reason now To have like You know, to bring to light A lot of the issues Because like, it's interesting When you see everybody like In this sort of unrest state What kind of music comes out of it And I think that You're going to be seeing a lot more of this Where, you know People are going to kind of bring up A lot of the problems through their music And expression And this is what artists do In times like these, so Well, there's always going to be Real artists And then there's always going to be people That are writing trends It's just part of it And there's ways to make money And business out of that And that goes across all things Not just music That goes into fashion Goes into everything else There's going to be people This song will get politicized for sure though With the title like This is America And then showing in the video All the killing and stuff like that It'll get politicized You'll get one side that's going to say Oh, we're such a violent culture In society And it's terrible And America sucks And you get the other side that says How dare you say that about You know, this great country And everyone's going to get offended But you know what I like that Yeah, it creates discussion And that's the reason why I brought it up And that's why too I feel like I kind of feel both sides of it I love it But then I also can see too Where it could feed into that part Where now everyone's going to be like Oh, it's so terrible here It's so basic Well, no, we've discussed this on the show Before it's less violent today Than it was 10 years and 20 years And 30 years ago So we are evolving in the better direction And we are becoming a safer, better country But I think too But there are areas There are segments You know, within this country That are extremely dangerous Like you go to certain parts of Chicago Certain parts of Los Angeles You know, I could go down the list of cities where And they're massive cities And very, very big, big cities like that Always tend to have more violence And America has more of these Big metropolitan type areas Than any other, you know, western nation But some of these cities are very dangerous Some of them have body counts That are like war zones And you know, you got to like We had to do something, you know You know, it's funny New York City used to have Used to be very violent Used to have a terrible track record And then they came out with some policies That were controversial But did a fucking good job They did a good job And you have way less crime there What did they come out that was controversial? Oh, it was just aggressive policing You know what I mean? It was stop and frisk you If they suspected you had something on you It was a lot of cops Way more cops It was just a stronger police presence And you know, what's his name? Who's the guy that he ran for president to? Giuliani I'm sorry? Mayor Giuliani Yes, Giuliani was the guy that implemented He ran for president one time I didn't know that Well, he ran for the Republican primary To become the candidate on the Republican side And his approach was very I mean, he's got police background, right? It was like we're going to clean up the streets And so they made sure there were There were no windows There was no graffiti I mean, his approach was If the city looks cleaner Then there's going to be less crime Didn't they take out a lot of the porn industry Like presence as far as like downtown stuff He had a heavy hand, you know He had a heavy hand And in New York, the crime rate did drop quite a bit But there was a lot of controversy He's a very polarizing person, isn't he? He's got a lot of people that love and hate him, right? New Yorkers tend to like him But yeah, you're right Part of it was because of some of those policies Part of it was, you know There was more tension in the minority areas Of New York City because They would feel like they'd get stopped a lot And frisked and all that stuff And of course his argument was Well, you know, in your neighborhoods Like, you know, one third of the violence As violent as it was before So it's working And then they'd say Well, we don't like being treated this way Whatever So it was very controversial But crime-wise it did It did make a big difference And it's a tough situation Like what do you do with some of these cities? Like what's your approach, you know? One thing that always works is more police That's a statistic that's down just 100% You increase the police presence in crime Tends to drop So that's the biggest one Which always makes me uncomfortable A lot of times it's just like, wow You know, at the same time Like you know that there is police presence there So it detours a lot of crime Potentially, but just I don't know, I'm always like thinking of like The military state and like, you know All that kind of stuff That always weighs on me, so It's a tough compromise, right? It is, it is But no, I appreciate music like this And that kind of commentary Because however, if it invokes a feeling in you That makes you want to talk and discuss And debate, then good I think that's a great thing Yeah, I think so too I mean, fuck it's doing it already It's incredible, the movement It's getting on it right now It'll be interesting to see how it washes itself out And what comes of it afterwards Because sometimes too, like I said, it can It's also going to provoke that extreme side too Which always concerns me with something like this Still kind of polarizes and pulls people apart But it definitely still presents That there's a lot of work that we need to do Right, exactly I think the positive things I think it's extremely artsy I think it definitely gets people talking I think the drawbacks is it could also Separate us somewhat too So I think that's what you always have to work with And that's the thing As long as people can sit down And try to understand the other person And talk, we're good If we get stuck in this situation where It's yelling and then hate And then you don't understand me I don't, you know I don't understand you, fuck you Then you're screwed But if we can sit I told you about the study that they did A while ago where they Had a bunch of people on polar opposite sides Of the political spectrum And the more that that person Knew about the other side The less likely they were to View them as evil, ignorant, stupid The less likely they were to view them As not a person You know what I mean Which obviously, that's obvious When you understand the other side Because what you have to think about is Of course there's people that are just Irrational, of course that exists Of course there's people that are just Ridiculous But when you have a lot of people Feeling a particular way And however ridiculous and irrational You think they are and there's enough of them Try to understand why they may have That sentiment And you'll, you can find some empathy And maybe make your point better Or sometimes change your mind You know what I mean But when you have, you know People saying stuff like this about Because I tend to, when I hear a lot of the stuff About, you know, policing And how cops may be treating people In particular minorities You know, I also feel empathy For the police officers But then I try and put myself In the mind and body of a person Who's complaining about this stuff And imagine living in that kind of a neighborhood Where maybe you do have a lot of neighbors That are doing a bunch of crazy shit And maybe cops are in bad situations And maybe I'm a good guy But now I gotta live in this reality Where they don't know if I'm a good guy And, you know, one of their buddies I almost just got shot at yesterday So now I'm gonna get treated like And how's that gonna make me feel If I'm a young kid I might not even understand as well I might just fucking start hating somebody Have you guys ever been pulled over By a police officer and been treated Like, really aggressively? Has that ever happened to you? I had it as a kid when I was in high school When I used to drive this lowered Integra that was, you know The stereo system going And I used to get pulled over like weekly All the time Now did you ever get pulled out of the car? Well, no, they've had me step out of the car And stuff like that But I never got, I mean They didn't slam me against the hood I was scared, you know, I resisted You know what I'm saying? I didn't mouth off or anything like that But I definitely felt harassed 100% I felt harassed Do you remember how did you feel after that? Yeah, I hated cops I had an attitude towards cops for sure Isn't that weird? So we have a tendency to Because it's funny, the same people that say That's also my childish mind, though, too I'm also a grown adult now That when I see something like that I don't think like that at all anymore But I was a kid, you know what I'm saying? As a kid, and you, again This is how our brain works in processes I was just gonna say that You pull me over every single week For no reason, you know what I'm saying? Or just fucking with me Because my exhaust is loud Or my stereo system Or I look like a profile Or whatever like that Now I see that Happened to me multiple times So the next time a cop pulls me over Instantly I think I'm being harassed It's a reality It's a reality that people get pissed off at Because it's an unfortunate reality But it's a real reality and You have to understand this The brain does a very... Human brains do a very good job At identifying patterns In fact, your brain is always trying to Identify patterns And because of how we evolved Better safe than sorry Is typically what our brains will default to So there may be a pattern that has no use whatsoever But your brain is always going to make you It's always going to put you in the position to Better safe than sorry So yeah, this might be a bad decision But we're gonna... Being wrong this many With this thing Every single time is more likely to make you safe So I'll give you an example If I get assaulted by A person wearing a plaid jacket Okay? Four, five, six times My brain's gonna create an association with plaid jackets As ridiculous as that sounds, logically As stupid as that sounds I will react... You're gonna hate lumberjacks Yeah, I'm gonna react to a plaid jacket In a subconscious way It's how our brains work That's right, and it's because it's that better safe than sorry So if you look a particular way If you dress a particular way If you're a cop and you hate cops And maybe you got pulled over and harassed Now when you see a cop That's gonna be how you're gonna feel And it's important to say One, that's real It's a real thing that our brains do this So stop... What I hate is when people say shit like Well, I'm colorblind Where I'm not... I don't discriminate Well, okay, here's the bottom line Everybody does, your brain does The key is to know that you do Then you can observe it And then be okay And then fix it Re-adjust it Yes, but if you pretend like No, no, no, I don't... Well, that's bullshit Of course you do... You see differences all the time Your brain's always trying to make patterns It's just baloning So be honest and say, okay I probably do discriminate Based on whatever my brain decides Because of my experience In my life and media But then being aware of that Now I can step back And be like, wait a minute Am I feeling... There's a cop next to me right now To stop light And I'm feeling like Really anxious and stressed But maybe I shouldn't be Maybe he's a different person Than the one guy that pulled me over And slammed me on the hood I've had that happen before I got... I did a burnout I think what the cop was doing He was trying to teach me a lesson So I think he was doing But I was with my girlfriend And my cousin and his girlfriend in the back I did a burnout at a stop light And then I took off And I didn't see... There must have been a police officer In one of the side streets He pulls me over And another cop pulls in front So I had two police officers around me And he rolls my... I roll my window down And he's like, do you know I pulled you over and I played stupid I'm like, no And he's like, get the fuck out of the car And it was like from then on It was... He ripped me out of the car Threw me on the hood He helped put my hands behind my head back Hand cuffed me Put me back on the hood And he's like lecturing me And the other cops are standing outside my car Like keeping... And I was like 17 years old So for a few years after When I'd see a cop I was like, fuck you I've shared the story on here Where my parents called the cops on me And they had me arrested in my living room And I was crying and shit like that And then I had to sit in the back Of a cop car for like fucking two hours So absolutely I did not like cops Like growing up But again, that was Because of my experiences That I had with it Now, as an adult I've met many of guys that serve That are fucking incredible Dude, incredible men and women And so I think that's important always Your brain is designed to do that It's the awareness factor That I think that you have to realize And sometimes I feel like People just shut that off They just, you know Assume because of their experiences Because five out of six times I've had a bad experience With this quote-unquote type of people Therefore they're all bad It's like that's terrible And sometimes, you know It's also okay to admit that Some patterns may actually It's going to be controversial But they may actually show you That there's a higher likelihood of some shit Like for example, you just said You had a car was slammed down to the ground Lowered tinted windows, loud exhaust Loud music, you know That tends to be the vehicle of kids That tend to do shit Well, no, exactly If you take that vehicle And that's what I understand now as an adult And you go ten of those vehicles And then you go ten Toyota Camp 1990 Toyota Camrys, you know With a car seat in the back Or a minivan Right, or a minivan, you know Who does the cop pull over Nine times out of ten He's going to pull over me And so I could get angry about that Or I could say Well, I did put myself in this category You know, more likely to do that And so all I can do is be respectful And hope that God that I have somebody Who pulls me over Who is also respectful That's right Yeah, I went through that Yeah, I was going to Chipotle With my boys And there was this guy Who was kind of sitting out A homeless guy Who was fidgeting and saying Crazy stuff And I was walking by And just immediately I'm like, no We're going to avoid this guy This character I don't know, it's just unpredictable These things that run through your mind My kids were just playing And they're walking almost right in front of him And he's just And it's just Those things that you're like Okay, I don't know Like necessarily what this guy's going through Like maybe he's just like Going to be nice And just ask for change or whatever But like for me It was like, no Like just predictively I'm going to move over I'm going to go to this side So it's like Sometimes, you know, like It serves you In a certain way So you have to be kind of Conscious of that Just know that it happens You know what I mean Then you can start working with it Don't pretend like it doesn't happen though I know That's the reality Since we're on the controversial tip here You guys know what birthday it was over the weekend? Yeah, I saw you put the Karl Marx Karl Marx I saw you close Can you believe that there's people That are actually in Europe in particular And some people in America Who actually celebrate Karl Marx's birthday And we'll have parades and shit And in Karl Marx's birthplace In Germany I can't remember the name of the town They enacted a statue Of Karl Marx Which was gifted to Germany This town, excuse me By the Chinese Of course, communist Chinese So fuck, what the fuck Makes me so mad You know what makes me mad about this? Here's what makes me mad And this is an interesting point When I make it, you guys will understand Oh, that's right The town is Trier, T-R-I-E-R Whatever So If you see a guy, you know, waving A swastika Right? Most likely he's gonna get He's gonna get attacked He's either gonna get attacked Or people are gonna like You know, in society Outside or whatever If someone was doing this outside You're gonna be shunned For having a swastika on Or for saying Hitler was a great guy Or whatever, or fascism, right? Most people are gonna be like Fuck you, whatever Yeah If you have a hammer and sickle flag The flag of the Soviet Union Some people will look at you Like you're an asshole But a lot of people will be like Whatever, not a big deal The, they're both They were both extremely murderous, extremely But communism is actually Better in that category In the sense that they've killed Far more people Some, by us, some estimates Over 100 million people Died under the idea Of Karl Marx I still see people wearing shirts Sometimes with Karl Marx on them Or Che Guevara or whatever And these people responsible for You know, Karl Marx's philosophy Is killed over 100 million people In the 20th century But people don't freak out about it And I think Or a lot of people don't get so Appalled by it And I think it's because The What are we glorifying about? It's romanticized Yeah, what is it about him That people are Oh, well, if you read his books You know, he's the His philosophies are what created You know, socialism and communism And it was eliminate the classes It was that capitalist will Exploit the workers It was that, you know, every It's basically the ideas behind Communism Everybody's equal They push equality of outcome Rather than equality of opportunity And that's the big, big, big difference Between Marx's philosophy And capitalism Or free markets philosophy Or what they would call classical liberal philosophy Which is classical liberals believe In the sovereignty of the individual And that, you know The government exists to Ensure equality of opportunity Now where you end up is up to you That's your choice Communism or Marxist mentality Is about equality of outcome So it doesn't matter where you start At the end we're all going to end the same Okay And so you can see how It can be alluring That philosophy Like, oh, that sounds good That sounds like it can work out But every time we've ever tried to Apply that philosophy Where we try to make everybody Equal on the outcome It results in Well, you have to force people That's the biggest problem Like you can't do that With all the nice intentions in the world Aren't going to fix the fact That you have to force people to all be the same You do And people aren't the same No In fact They don't want to be the same I don't want to be the same as everybody else That's right Maybe I want a lot of money Maybe you don't want a lot of money Maybe I want to live a life where I live very basic and simple And whatever Maybe you want to live a very complicated life Maybe you want to work real hard And I don't find it that important And that's the main problem with it Is that there's a lot of force that goes on The other problem with it is Economically speaking, it's so inefficient Because they try to essentially plan everything And you can't be effective with Or efficient with resources When you're trying to essentially plan An entire country There's so many moving parts And this is why you had Fields of wheat that would go rotten In the Soviet Union Because they were just so inefficient And why the U.S. ended up with Obesity instead of starvation But I can't believe people celebrate that shit He was a That's crazy His philosophies were just terrible murderers I saw that pop up I need a history lesson, I think I don't think you can even I don't even think it matters It doesn't matter You just ignore it It's crazy It was the 20th century, dude It wasn't that long ago Actually, you still have communist countries You still have places like China now They definitely implement capitalism Far more than the Soviets did But they're by no means free And there's a lot of shit that goes on there too Especially now with all that How they're tracking their citizens Did either one of you guys watch Any of the NBA finals this week? Nothing The playoffs at all? None Neither one of you? Sorry I thought this was kind of cool It was funny, it was right around the same time That you had posted that on your Instastory The Karl Marx show was going through your thing And I had just written down this To bring it up to you guys I wanted to bring it up on the TV So you guys could see it Doug, could you Google NBA mental health? I thought this was pretty cool That the NBA is taking this on right now They had a really cool commercial With Kevin Love and DeRosa from The Raptors Who spoke out There it is DeRosen, sorry They talked about mental health And anxiety and depression And things like that And so the NBA is partnering up Who are they partnering up with? I forget who they are to attack Mental health And they're going to be doing Is there like an issue in the NBA with people? I think it's less about that There's an issue in the NBA Is just that there's even these rich NBA stars that actually are Dealing with some of these issues That are, I mean we talk about on the show all the time Right, but this is growing Epidemic of anxiety Depression And suicide and all these things like that And so Kind of a cool thing seeing the NBA Tackle it in the way that they're tackling it I thought they had a really cool Well it's great because kids still idolize And these are all their heroes So to have them voicing You know a lot of these big Big issues that everybody's going through So I think that's how it all started So these two players both Kevin Love And DeRosen had tweeted something Not that long ago Just in regards to their anxiety And stress and depression and stuff And they openly shared it And then it kind of went gangbusters Like people were talking all about it And then the NBA is partnering with them And they're doing this whole mental health campaign Dude I feel the NBA is really Really like forward thinking And compared to like the rest of Sports like Even with football it's like yeah They address the fact that There's problems right There's like CTE there's all these like But it's always I don't know It's centered around like How can we fix like the symptoms Of you know like how this is all happening And then they're trying to kind of almost It feels like they're trying to sweep it Kind of under the rug and like move forward Where the NBA is doing a really good job Of like you know okay Let's think ahead yeah proactively Think about how we can address big issues So I think if you're the NFL You want to you want to work on things But you don't want to be too vocal about it Because it's going to hurt your business Yeah you're bringing more it would be like You know like the cigarette industries Like openly spending money To help people getting lung cancer from their product You know what I mean so Well you see I mean there's Violent you know domestic Violent issues there's So many big issues in football Specifically that they should I felt they could have done a way better job addressing You know really being proactive with it With where I see other You know like with NBA And baseball really tackling I think there's two main issues You know mental health there's definitely A bit of an epidemic That's happening with mental health In particular with the youth When you look when we saw those statistics From that book I think it was I gen I generation Where you see kids like suicide rates And stuff in depression among kids seems to be exploding I think there's a couple reasons one is Everybody's gut health Seems to be a lot worse And we're now the more we learn about the gut The more we realize What an impact that has on The physical Health of your brain And so it's important to understand too When you have mental health issues There's a physical component Many times Which is you know you're not producing enough Neurotransmitters or Inflammation systemically Or inflammation in the brain Which can make you physically feel depressed Or physically feel anxious And when you get that physical feeling of depression What happens is You then try to Mentally You know you're thinking why am I depressed Why do I feel so shitty And then whatever issues you have in your life Which everybody has issues in their life Everybody has stuff they can stress about You can start to make And it feels so much worse Because I'm already physically depressed So now that I'm stressed out about whatever Now it seems like a much bigger issue And then that can start to spiral And then you also have the Everything's physically okay with me But there's that mental component And I just think it's just People don't feel fulfilled We have more stuff Way more stuff than we ever have We have more money than we've ever had I feel like it's isolating too And you can isolate yourself in your room And be distracted by Electronics So you compile all these factors You have your gut health You have lack of sun You have this isolation where you're not In communication with somebody Person to person where you can Really discuss things that are going on with your life And it's not You're not really having a personable Conversation with somebody anymore It's all virtually You're just sort of like Pulling yourself away from Community People are, they're searching They're searching for Something that all of us want Which is that feeling of like, of meaning You know the fulfillment But the things that they're trying to fill that with Aren't things that can give you that And so what they're doing is they're using Technology or drugs Or food or sex Or all these things that temporarily feel good But they won't Fulfill that, they won't fill that up I was watching this talk by this YouTube priest He's actually really, really good Whether you're religious or not, he's really good His name is Bishop Barron And he's talking about spiritual health Which I'm starting to understand now What that kind of means And he's saying how, you know There's a void within Humans That we need to fill With love and spiritual health But if you try to fill that hole With things that are not from that Or not spiritual So if you try to fill that with drugs Or money, or sex, or food, or Your work, or whatever That you'll find that that hole is bottomless It's a bottomless pit And that's where you get that dysfunction That's where you get addiction Where people start to worship money Because money's not evil But if you start to worship it I think people are just You ask people what's your meaning I don't know I think you're on the right track And we talk about this with the 3D printer Down the road and so with that People real soon here are going to be able to have Anything and everything Like instantly And I think that the more readily available That becomes the more you think That that should provide this happiness Or this fulfillment you're talking about And they're not getting it Superstar athletes that are making millions Of dollars that are still dealing With the depression, the anxiety, and all this mental health You gotta think to yourself If you don't have meaning If there's not something that's worth it for you Then nothing's worth it And what I mean by that is life's gonna get hard Challenging always for anybody I don't care who you are, it's gonna be challenges If you don't have something that gives you meaning Then as you go through these difficult things You're gonna continue feeling like, what's the point I have a friend of mine Actually, she was my very, very, very first client When I opened up my wellness studio She's a personal trainer now And when I first started training her You know, she was kind of a little Standoffish and we ended up becoming Very good friends and I learned That two years prior to me training her She lost her son when he was 18 years old Terrible Terrible, terrible, and every time she would You know, we started talking about it I could tell she was obviously still It was very, very painful, but as I got to know her She was able to open up more about it And I asked her, you know What was that like, you know, doing that Because I have two kids and, you know I can't even, just imagining If something bad happened to my kids Can ruin an entire day, I can't even imagine If something actually happened And she said, well, it was my other kid Because she had a daughter also And she said, you know When you lose, when something like that Bad happens to you, you feel like Like nothing is worth anything anymore Meaning life, except I had another child And so then my meaning became I need to be good and strong for my Daughter, so she can make it through this And that was the meaning that pulled her through And so when you're going through Challenging times You have to find a reason or purpose Otherwise you start to feel like why It'd be like working out, getting real sore, sweaty For nothing, for no result You get fatter, you're not getting in shape or whatever It's the same reason why people stop working out When they start to see no progress or no results It's kind of like that, you need to have that meaning And that purpose, and I think a lot of people don't They don't have that, especially kids, because they're I think Justin touched on a really important Point, too, that you made about the community thing Because I see this a lot Right now in our space That I wasn't prepared for this Or didn't think this until I saw it firsthand Which is a lot of these people That have created a large Presence on, you know Instagram or podcasting Or Facebook or whatever their celebrity Status through social media Really don't have a lot of Human interaction They're incredible on their Insta story And on the podcast Or on their YouTube or whatever And they literally spend so much time On that every day To provide for their fans And I think they justify that as Their human interaction because You're talking to millions of people And you're responding to comments But they don't have any real social interaction In person. Part of the reason why I'm really excited About this whole touring thing that Taylor has set up for us and heading down To Veori and getting out there With real people And talking to people. People just don't do that anymore That was something, if you wanted To grow your brand, your Band or whatever or your celebrity Status as you, you know, 20 Years ago, like you hit the fucking road Oh yeah, you would make physical presence Yes, you had to do that. We live in An era now where that's not necessary In fact, that is the old way Or the slow way of doing things Because I could reach, I mean It's way faster for us to reach people On YouTube, email, Facebook The podcast than it is to go down Fly all the way down to San Diego To maybe see 100 people or so In person, like that's It's, you know, so the average person I think today that's building a business That's on a platform like we are Doesn't see a lot of value in that Because they know they can make way more headway On platforms, but you also lose The part that I think is so important Which is that social interaction I think that's something that's dying And I also think that it's feeding into This whole mental health issue I think people will start understanding You need to do that, you know what I mean You need to go out and meet people Because the odds of you getting 2 million Followers on Instagram and building a business Off that are slim to none The odds that you can build an audience Of a few thousand people Are much higher, but in order to do that You gotta touch, you gotta reach out and touch people You gotta go and meet with people You gotta make real impressions on people It won't happen just through, you know, You know, tech It typically won't, you gotta meet Like when we meet people at these Conventions that we go to You know that they leave, you know Feeling an even deeper connection to us Because they met us, they shook our hand They got to talk to us, get to hang out with us And vice versa, I mean it really Just seeing people and like What they've gotten from, you know, Some of our shows in person and like You know, their stories Especially like what they've What they've gone through and that they can Express that, you know In person, it makes such a more Of a powerful impact which then affects How we talk on the show Bro, you cried, imagine, I mean Talk about, you talk about fulfillment And feeding your soul and the spiritual side I think that like, that would not Happen had you not been in person to see And look in the eyes of another person That you've made an impact and like That's just, that's important I think that's important to mental health I think that's something that we're We're losing that importance of this connection To people in real life, it's really a It's scary and then It's also like, I believe In humanity, I believe that We'll push the limit so far and then eventually How we learn, dude Yeah, it is how we learn, you know, so You can see it and you can be aware of it You know, use these things as tools But then also be aware of where the path That it can head down to and then I think You can be, alright, you know There's no substitute for the real thing You know what I mean? But there are things That can improve upon Sounds like a Pepsi commercial Was that Coke? It was one of those things Anyway, so this weekend I did my fast Oh, you did your 3-day? Yeah, so, no, I do, I go It's that once a month fast and every time, man I swear to God, I come out of it and I'm like Sharp like a fucking laser Now, do you eat more now that you've been doing it So frequently or do you still Really take a gradual approach And reintroduce it? Well, no matter What, I'm realizing that The first time I go to the bathroom post fast After I eat, isn't gonna be good It's weird It's because it's waking up my system And then it's like evacuating, you know what I'm saying So it's like, okay, I guess that's gonna happen Almost every time, the first time But no, I still do the bone broth I'll do that and I'll wait a few hours Then I'll have well-cooked vegetables And then I had New York steak And Then I had, I make this coconut dessert I think I've told you guys this before So I get the full fat coconut milk In the can And I put it in the fridge So that it solidifies, like the fat part solidifies And then I have one of those bullet blenders And I open the can And then I take out the The solidified part, and then a little bit of The fluid that's in the can, not all of it Because if you put all of it in, then it just becomes too liquidy And I want it to be more like a Like a custard Yeah, so I put it in a blender And I'll add as much fluid as I need To get it to kind of mix And then I'll put in the The gold juice from Organifi Oh, that's a good call That tastes like a dreamcicle I tried to make that the other day With the gold juice And I overdid the I used cocoa whip, and I think I overdid it It was too sweet, the combination of all I've been trying to make like an orange dreamcicle Taste So it's great because the gold juice is great at night Because it's got those relaxing properties It's got horse tail in there It's got lots of turmeric, which I've been taking a lot of So I put that in there I put the Organifi protein in there Chocolate, blended that up Oh, you did all that together, huh? Yeah, yeah, yeah, blended up And it's like a custard, and it's Because it's all coconut, full fat coconut milk It's heavy So you don't need to eat a lot Literally, if I ate Four tablespoons of it, and then I waited 15 minutes, your appetites Yeah, you're gone, dude Because you just ate 20-30 grams of fat And it's a lot of medium chain triglycerides Which, post-fast I always go hard keto Anywhere between four to seven days To really get my ketones up And so I like doing this because I notice it gets my ketones to go up a little higher Because I do the p-strip or whatever, the p-test And it's really fucking good You know, I know we promote fasting a lot on the show But I have to say that it's getting out of control Man, I was at a barbecue this weekend And actually fasting Was like the topic, like all these And it was all people that are Really not into health And fitness Yes, it's become the trendy thing Right now, I mean it has- It's so funny, it's trending That's old school, don't need to lose weight It is, it is And the problem with it Is what I see, the same problem that I see With the whole CBD thing right now Is these, we take a little bit of Science and information And then it turns into this dogmatic approach Where everybody's trying it and doing it And then the CBD lotions like I'm just gonna, I'm in pain, I'm gonna rub my CBD All over it It's like all I see now It's crazy, it's getting out of control With everybody doing it I mean it's been popular for the last two years But I thought it was kind of slowing down And people were kind of moving over the keto way But now it's accelerating More and more people are using it And everybody's doing it for the wrong reasons They're doing it as a weight loss strategy And every time I meet someone I try to explain to them If that is your strategy to lose weight It's gonna be short lived, man And then you're just resting that you're doing right now And inevitably you're probably gonna stop doing that At one point, whether that be because You got to your goal finally Or you never reached your goal So you say fuck it, you go back to eating Like you were eating before And now you've slowed your metabolism down You've got your body used to not consuming That much or that often If you've got metabolism issues, fasting is not a good idea No, that's about, we have this friend of ours Who keeps fasting and I'm telling her Don't do it dude, because you said you had a low Now, occasional, it's not gonna do that And I don't like the consistent fasting It doesn't work as well as the infrequent You know, like mine is once a month That's what I'm doing right now I used to do that almost every day And this once a month option Way, way superior than the way Than how my body felt before But you know, I talked to Rusio about fasting When we were in Paleo And he said it seems to him And he's a gut health expert That people whose gut health issues Are on their immune system Like they have a lot of autoimmune issues Or more autoimmune than other people Tend to do better with fasting Than people who, you know, are more mild So if you have really bad gut issues And a lot of it has to do with the fact that It's an autoimmune reaction Like food intolerances He says that fasting is probably That's probably why I'm experiencing such benefits from it You know, there was a fasting study That came out that I wanted to read to you guys I just posted it On that a 24 hour fast Dramatically improved The stem cells ability to regenerate In mice And this is in their gut So, and this is an important thing To know because as you get older Your gut cells ability To regenerate diminishes quite a bit Which is why as you get older One of the reasons why as you get older Gut issues become more and more prevalent I remember being a kid and hearing My grandfather talking about You know, having a good poop and this and that And I remember thinking like, stupid, who cares But as you get older you start to realize It becomes a bigger and bigger deal This may be one of the reasons And so they did this with mice and in 24 hours I think it doubled the rate At which they regenerated Twice as fast Every old man Like that's their favorite topic of conversation Yeah, it's like how well they poop today Well, I think it's because they're all forced to I mean, I think What happens a lot right now in our age I think there's a lot of people Listening right now that ain't having good shits Yeah, you know what I'm saying? And they're still getting by Right, it's just ignoring you right now It's like I still had a rough shit today Shouldn't have had those fire cheetos yesterday You know what I'm saying? Note to self Machine gun I was in my late 20s I was like that, if I had pizza Or I had certain things in the diet You know, I just didn't shit good Or didn't feel good afterwards But it's, I don't know why it took me So long to really connect those dots Of like, man I just That's probably not a good thing Yes, it's probably not a good thing If my body is responding this way And I think as you get much older I think it becomes like necessary And then you get locked up And then it's probably, I mean I'm sure Your whole day revolves around that If I'm experiencing that in my late 20s And in my early 30s Imagine, I mean if I kept going down that path I can only imagine what 50 Or 60 looks like with those shits I've had clients in their 50s Who would take medications To help them poop And then they'd take medications to Prevent diarrhea And they would use them whenever anything would happen Sometimes in the same day I remember having this conversation with one of my clients When I looked at her medications I'm like This is for constipation This is diarrhea And you're using these daily And she's like, yeah and I said Do you see that one as counteracting But that's what the doctor gave her So if you have diarrhea take this one Oh if you get constipated take this one Here's an answer, here's an answer And you're just back and forth It's terrible, fucking terrible That's crazy This Quas brought to you by OrganiFi For those days you fall short On getting your organic veggies OrganiFi fills the gap with laboratory Tested certified organic super foods To help give your health and performance The added edge Try OrganiFi totally risk free For 60 days by going to OrganiFi.com That's O-R-G-A-N-I-F-I Dot com And use a coupon code MINEPOMP For 20% off at checkout Our first question is by Inspired to be fit Do you think that people who haven't had A hard life or hard upbringing Are capable of becoming a successful entrepreneur? It seems like every person you guys Interview has had some sort of Life struggle that shaped them What if you've had a good life? Oh absolutely I think I mean There's got to be statistics around this Sal There's got to be something around that I actually think that somebody Raised in a really good home With lots of, I mean I've got Friends and people that are successful Because mom and dad set them up very well They gave them a quarter million dollars Down on their house They gave them a hundred grand to start their first Business It just doesn't fit the narrative With what is pushed out there a lot Right? Like that's like the Underdog sort of overcoming So many odds and like Everybody wants to hear that like serious Struggle story It's less entertaining It's less entertaining to hear Somebody who had a safety Net to fall back on It's less entertaining to hear somebody who Has helped them out all the way through And then eventually they hit it big and had a business But I mean I would argue that there's More of those and there actually are The people that are unsuccessful That's what makes the story so good You're more likely to be successful if you have A nice, a good upbringing And that doesn't mean by the way A good upbringing isn't that you have everything handed to I think a lot of people think, oh you're lucky You have everything handed to you That actually creates bad life Patterns It creates bad work ethic It creates an understanding of life That's not accurate and then when you go out And try things and you fail You can't handle it A good upbringing would be stable home Parents that love you Support like that That kind of stuff, opportunities You're not so poor that you can't Do certain things You have enough money to be able To do the things that you want to do Statistically, statistics show That people in those situations tend to be More successful across the board But we do hear a lot of the stories Of the people who grew up extremely difficult And that drove them to be extremely successful It's a smaller percentage But number one, we romanticize those stories Because they're interesting, we like to hear those It makes us feel good to see that somebody Could save themselves And become what they wanted But I think there's another part to it I think if you have the right Kind of person The right kind of genetics The right mix of genes And a very, very hard life Sometimes that hard life turns That person, that mix Into a monster Of course And it drives the fuck out of them It drives them in a way that I'll tell you what, immigrants Arguably Unhealthy Arguably It drives them so much They become obsessive of it To that I can relate to Not having things And wanting things so bad It's a lot of what made me successful But it also is what held me back Too, from realizing that There is more to life than just Obtaining a certain Level of financial success So, you know, it's I think that Lewis Howells, when he talks About the mask I think does a really good job of explaining this As many times much of our success That we have as adults Or these masks that we've been Wearing our whole lives It's a double-edged sword, man The entrepreneur life is A life of uncertainty And risk In comparison to the life that Tends to be By the way, it's all uncertain There's a lot of Chaos when you come out and try and do things on your own But it feels more safe to do the Go to Go to college Go apply to get a job somewhere It feels like that's more of a guaranteed path Than somebody who leaves school and says I'm gonna do my own thing Now, statistics will show That people who try to do their own thing If they stay at it And they work hard, they tend to do well But they will also have failures along the way So there's that, basically there's a certainty That you're probably gonna fail a few times But It takes a different kind of individual To do that kind of stuff, to step out And you see a lot of immigrants That, especially immigrants that came You know, my parents And my grandparents generation That were entrepreneurs And I don't necessarily think I think number one, there was the opportunity When they came to America where there weren't very many Especially when my grandparents came here Or my grandfather came here There weren't many barriers to enter the market You could just open a business It wasn't a lot of red tape or things But I think the other part, and this is an interesting one Is I think that there's a little bit Of a self-selection bias Like the same kind of people who are willing To leave their country of origin And move to a country where they don't know anybody And don't know the language Those are the same kind of people That are more likely to take that risk Of doing something, you know, on their own I think that, yeah, that's definitely The determining factor is like How much you're willing to put yourself out there And endure failures And endure things and obstacles In your way and Like how you react to that Depending on what kind of safety that you have You know, are you like Dependent on that or do you just know that it's there? It's like it's all in the individual And how they want to pursue Whatever goal it is in front of them Well, look at the stat right there It says 71.5% of the respondents Came from middle class backgrounds And then there's 34% And 36% were upper and lower That's a big chunk though 36% from lower middle class Yeah, yeah Actually looking at it closer though Some of these statistics don't add up Yeah, that's weird. Those percentages don't add up to 100% So I'm not sure where they're getting those Out of 200% Yeah, it's a new way to do things According to this, I don't know where Doug Just pulled this out of his ass But according to this, it's There's relatively the same amount of people That come from a rich home, that come from a poor home That end up being successful entrepreneurs And the majority of them fall Right in the middle class area Yeah, I wonder what I know it says here that 95% of them Had earned bachelor's degrees I've seen other statistics that show That it's a little bit lower than that I'd like to compare that to just the average Person working out there Probably more, right? I would say probably more of them have A degree than less I know they became entrepreneurs And stopped going to college Because they felt like it wasn't Contributing to What they wanted to do When they went out in the real world And I don't know if there's that much that can prepare you What kind of schooling can prepare you for Entrepreneurship Yeah, I don't know that there is Such a thing other than just to do it It's really just like getting into it And having sort of confidence in yourself That you're gonna learn I think apprenticeship That's probably the best way to do it Would you encourage Your sons to be entrepreneurs Or to work for other people Yeah, that would be tough I definitely would encourage them To pursue Something that I feel They would construct themselves If they had an idea that was Something that had legs to it I would challenge them, of course I would challenge them to consider All the different obstacles All the different things That will be challenging But at the same time I want to definitely Help to contribute If they're passionate about it Because that's the thing I think People just need to find Their passion and that creates This purpose And that creates something in their life That's substantial And I think that people can find that Certain jobs where they work for somebody too So say it's something That somebody has a company That's awesome and is doing great things And it fits within their skill set You know, go fucking do that Do that and do it well But if you're not finding that In the market and you want to create something Like fuck yeah, go do your own thing Yeah, I had a conversation with my son About college And we talk about He does real well in school, really enjoys Learning and gets really good grades And all that, and so we talked about college And the cost of how expensive it is To go to college, you know why I was watching this Comedian on Netflix, I can't remember his name Just came out with a comedy special And he talks about how he spent I think $150,000 or $200,000 on college And to get an English degree And he was making fun Of himself for doing it And now he's a comedian obviously And he was talking about how they were asking for Another more donation now Like he got a letter from the school and he's like You're not getting shit from me, I already gave you guys $150,000 for an English degree, anyway Hilarious, but think about that though He's probably using a lot of that skill Within writing and contributing Towards his stand-up comedy Maybe, right, so I was talking to my son About college and I said, you know College is very expensive nowadays You do really well in school You'll probably do really well in college But when it comes to the money To pay for college Oh, John Mulaney was the name of the comedian Good show I'll probably pay for your college Only if I know there's going to be a good return Not for me, but for you It's got to be worth the money So if you're going to get a degree That's going to cost me $100,000 But your degree in the market isn't worth very much Then there's other ways to learn About that subject Is there any degree that's worth Is there? Engineering Because when you break it down mathematically Like a school loan that's $50,000 Or above, like how many years The average American How much money first of all the average American Has to make in order to save that much money To put that away, do you know what that is? Oh, it's ridiculous But it's worth it when the job You want to do or the career you want to follow Has a barrier to enter That requires a degree You guys just reminded me of this movement Going on right now. Are you guys familiar with them? It's the fire movement Doug, Luther, Seth I'm serious These are Millennials that are Retiring at the age of 30 And they're doing it by Aggressively saving And they're saving like 80% of their income From the day they start working All the way up until they can retire At 30 years old What's the acronym stand for? Financial independence And early retirement I like it These kids are way smarter And we give them credit for it There's more entrepreneurs that are millennials Than there were in previous generations It's the entrepreneur generation They're saving Over 80% What does that look like money-wise? It doesn't matter It's a formula It applies to somebody who makes 60 grand a year Or somebody who makes 190 grand a year Like you're saving 80 And obviously If you're making 190 You're going to have a lot more to live off of So they're super, super frugal Throughout their childhood All the way until almost 30 years old If your annual expenses Are $40,000 Then you're financially independent When your total net worth is a million So I mean 30 with a million dollars You're just going to have to live on less than 40 grand a year What you can do if you're smart You can do that in a lot of places in the country Not here I live on your friend's couch I couldn't do this I'm not a fan of this at all And let me tell you why I'm not a fan of this And I have buddies That would be super pro this Is And I look back At some decisions that I made at 25 There's for sure a trip to Vegas Where I easily Spent $10,000 to $20,000 Jesus Christ Adam And Right, and at that time Maybe had 100,000 saved up And so arguably spending Right, right That was irresponsible As a 24, but If you were to ask me as an adult Now at 36 years old Or grown ass man, 36 years old Do that again Did I regret that Man, that was probably one of the most epic Trips I ever took And is that memory more valuable To me than having been A little bit more ahead of my retirement plan That's a really You got to really weigh that out Plus you're more interesting I have way better You're so smart But you're fucking boring No, you can't say that You might have some very interesting lives You don't know that Here's why I like it I like it because Well, here's why I like this philosophy It teaches hard work It teaches sacrifice I don't think a lot of people will retire at 30 I think they'll be in a position where They can retire But they just keep going Imagine having a million net worth at 30 Which means you've invested, you've saved You've set yourself pretty You've created, but I'm pretty much with Adam on this one I want to make life experiences That I reflect on That You're just not going to put yourself in that You're not going to put yourself out there To where you're going to experience a lot of things Because you're so Frugal and all your friends Are going to go places, you're going to stay home You're going to make these compromises At my rate it would take double the time with my philosophy It would take double the time of what they are Because my philosophy is this Doesn't matter if I was making 40 grand a year Or I'm making a half a million dollars a year Doesn't matter if the same philosophy applies I don't ever want to retire I think retiring is death You want to be in a position where you Financial freedom is different You want to be responsible This is how I look at it No matter how much you're making As long as I'm saving or investing The same amount that I blow in that month For example I used $3,000 a month in bills And I only make $3,500 That means I got $250 To blow that month And I got $250 that needs to be saved and invested And it scales all the way up So if you see me Flotting a fucking new watch Or a cool car, a new pair of sneakers You can guarantee that I put That same amount away Either in a savings or stock Or whatever And what it does for me Is it pushes me and it motivates me To make more if I want more things So I gotta work harder If I want to buy these things And then it also keeps me responsible Why I'm doing that too I love this movement Because it's making, working hard And saving cool again Because there's so much of a mentality On consume, consume, consume Not work hard I like this movement Because it's making it cool Again for people to I think the pendulum needs a swing in that direction We have so much stuff now And so much shit and so much that we can buy That I think part of the reason why this is becoming cool Is because kids can get whatever they want So like, no cool, I want to go in this other direction And I want to wear the cheaper shoes And I want to wear the more basic clothes Have you noticed like cool cars And stuff like that and driving It's becoming less hip for kids They don't give a shit as much as I can We're in Austin This guy was telling me that he got An Audi, like a brand new Audi That he was just like cruising around in And it's like they're doing this whole thing Where he could have like the brand new model And you're just driving it around Like for a pretty reasonable price Oh, were they renting the other car? Yeah, but that's like one of those top of the line things That like you had to make a shit ton of money To be able to even step into that car Now it's like the ease of access to something like that Is it's just, it's going to be Less cool, you know, going forward No, I like it, I like this Oh, it's like the same movement as the The guys that did the Netflix series Or whatever, we talked about this in the Minimalist and they did the houses like that I don't know, I can get on board With some things and there's some things I just can't get on board with Sorry, I can't live in a 5x5 fucking house But you know what though, it's weird I mean, no I take that back Yes, I could live in a 5x5 I choose not to do that I could live in a 9x5 house But I would like to, I don't need a big house I like a little lamb Now here's the thing though, where I do like it And I do respect it, because I also grew up in a home too Where I thought my family was very Irresponsible financially So I do see that side of it Like I think yeah, if you can only If you can only get a job Where you make 30, 40 grand a year Then yeah, you probably shouldn't be living In a house that costs you $2,500 a month That doesn't make fucking Economic sense, dude A lot of things are getting cheaper though We're talking about the article that was up there We're talking about traveling cheaper And this guy said that he saw a line where Airbnb Yeah, he bought a $200 gift certificate An Airbnb gift certificate online for $170 You guys know how I feel about that dude Airbnb is Oh, it's fucking destroying It is destroying the hotel business So after this last time we were over In Austin, I did some more reading on it And I knew that the hotel industry Was lobbying government to try To crack down on Airbnb because it's killing Their business Because you could spend $300 a night in a four-star You know, five-star hotel In some areas Or you could spend $300 a night In a fucking massive house In the same area It's all your own In the same area Where you have a kitchen You have a backyard And they're stepping the amenities up So they'll ask us So we had a concierge If we wanted food delivered to our house If we wanted groceries All we had to do was call the concierge service And they had a house And they went and delivered it to us So the knock would be When this first started I remember it was like Oh, well, you know, a hotel You get, you know, your bed's made And your house clean Or your room cleaned And then you get room service Well, guess what? A lot of these big companies are coming in And buying up 20, 30 of these properties And they're providing these services So fucking hotel businesses Game over They're done And the reason why And I was talking to Jessica about this She's like, well, why are hotels so expensive? And I said, well, part of the reason is Cleaning services and restaurants and all that stuff The other part of it is The regulations to have a hotel Make that shit super expensive Whereas they're going to pay the city All kinds of money Way less when you have a house You know what I mean? There's way less regulations, way less control It's the new share economy That's happening in conjunction with the gig economy Or whatever Or maybe it's both Like, here's another one You talked about people who have Private jets Who are like Airbnb Not Airbnb Well, it's kind of like Airbnb or Uber But with the jet Bro, if that shit explodes Think about that Think about how What that's going to do the airline industry Oh, yeah When you just You can pay a fee to get on someone's private jet Imagine now if you're a private jet owner You park your plane That shit's costing you money to sit there You'd probably be willing to charge you They're going to be stoked Yeah, because just having a plane And being able to fuel it It costs so much money to keep fuel In those planes So it's like, yeah You want to use it You want to get people on And make it worth your money Yeah Next question is from the lab strength Why do so many bodybuilders Still use the body part split method I hear people say Because a big name bodybuilder Other pros have been doing it this way But clearly maps programming Is far superior So, two Yeah, two things First, we got to be clear here The body part splits Can be very effective When you utilize intensity and frequency More effectively The reason why a lot of body part split methods Are not effective for most people Is because a lot of them do this whole Hit each body part once a week Type of thing And that simply is not enough frequency That's what makes it inferior to maps Yeah, body part splits Are not inferior to maps programming It's what we knew What we know because we've been doing this For a really long time And we've ran splits ourselves And we've had all kinds of clients run them And all kinds of friends run them And what ends up happening When you do a body part split It's really tough, one To hit a muscle group Every muscle group two to three times a week Without actually sitting down And putting some thought into the programming And then what ends up happening When you're training one muscle group a day You tend to just hammer the fuck out of it Intensity-wise And those are two of the things I think that are abused Or overlooked in our space And so it may seem like maps Is extremely superior to it But it's not the split versus maps And splits suck and maps are superior No, you can apply the maps methodology to splits You can apply the maps methodology And concepts to any workout program But the traditional splits that we see a lot And by the way, when splits first came out They weren't like they are now So a lot of the splits you see people follow today Are Monday chess, Tuesday back Wednesday shoulders and so on The old splits, like back in the 70s Like Arnold's time They were hitting the whole body Two or three times a week So although they did split the body It was still two to three times a week Of frequency of training each body part Which that's the essential part That's the reason why splits tend to not work Now why do we see pro bodybuilders Still doing the old split Where they're hitting one body part a day Because they're pro bodybuilders And they have nothing Nothing recovery Well they have nothing in common with you At all Their body's problem So when you lift weights really hard You get this adaptation signal that elevates And we can measure it with muscle protein synthesis So we can see that the body's repairing And building muscle That signal drops very quickly At about 48 hours Maybe 72 hours for a beginner Shorter for someone's advance That signal goes down And it goes back down to baseline So although you're still recovering And you've got like four days left Till you hit your chest again Your body's not building muscle anymore That's the problem Now a pro bodybuilder has got Number one Vastly superior genetics To you listening right now And I can't stress this enough I've been around some And I've been around a lot of people who've worked out I've managed gyms for 20 years right I've been in fitness for a long time I can count on one hand When I've been around someone With genetics that are just You think they're an alien And for sure When they lift weights That anabolic signal Stays up much longer Than the average person I mean there was one guy There was one trainer that worked for me He was a Actually no he wasn't a trainer He was a porter And he didn't have a lot of money And dude would eat Like a peanut butter and jelly sandwich And sometimes he'd have a bowl of cereal Or top rock Because he didn't have a lot of money So he didn't eat much at all Probably under 100 grams of protein a day And the dude would After work He'd go out and he'd work out And he'd hit You know A couple of exercises And he would do shit Like skull crushes with 225 You know He would do You know Overhead shoulder presses With the hundreds And it was just I would look at him And be like This dude He's got to be on something And I'd talk to him And he's like No man I can't even have four food Let alone anabolic steroids He just had genetics that I couldn't It didn't make sense to me Because my body never responded That way Never seen it And that's how Pro bodybuilders are Their bodies respond Extremely well to resistance String And then on top of that You throw anabolic steroids So What they do to their body To get their body to change And work and grow Is very different from What most of you guys And girls listening right now Are going to do Most of you If you follow the same method As the bodybuilder You're not going to get very far You're probably doing it right now You might be doing it right now Where you go to the gym You get real sore You rest Recover You go back to the gym And your body hasn't responded Or hasn't changed And so you're wondering What the hell is going on You probably need to hit Your body parts A little bit more frequently That's the maps Philosophies is kind of Based on that And I remember When I first put that together It was a long time ago I was getting ready to go On a trip to Italy And I wanted to get real lean And muscular for it Because I wanted my family I hadn't seen my family in a long time And that was the first time I started really training My body twice a week And I remember The first couple of weeks I did it I realized that I couldn't Go to failure on my lifts Like I used to Because I'm hitting more frequency So I stopped going to failure And I had the increased frequency And then I remember My body was just growing And responding like crazy And that's when I first Pieced that together Like, oh, I need to hit My body parts a little bit More frequently Well, I think it's important People realize too that When I was competing I wasn't running like a maps red I mean, I was running A black, maps black And then the evolution Of maps black As I continued to go Show after show So, you know, eventually My programming looked like If, you know, maps had a baby With a split program I mean, it was I'm in the gym Seven days a week And at the professional level Like, my level of volume Is so different Than where my volume is right now Now, the cool part is I can put in a quarter of the work That I was putting in To compete at the professional level And still have a really good physique And so, again I think for the average person Who doesn't have, you know, Seven to fourteen hours a week To put into the gym, you know Hammer the body like that And can consistently be feeding it To recover and resting correctly Or on anabolic and shit Like, then, yeah, the basic Full-body split routine Is going to be superior Hence why we created that But it doesn't necessarily mean that You know, maps is Three times a week Basic anabolic program Is better than a split program We just knew that It was going to be better For a majority of the people out there Because we've been dealing with A majority of people What percentage would you say Of people do better training, you know Two to three times a week The whole body Or just hitting each body part Two to three times a week That's what I would say 80, 85, yep 80, 85% of the people Which is why someone like this Who's answering this is Or asking this question Feels that it's far superior Like, it's going to feel far superior For most people And then there's going to be A small amount of people That I think will still benefit Greatly from it And be like, holy shit And be impressed by it But then might be like Wow, I don't feel like It was way better than When I was training Seven days a week All this like, well, yeah, okay Well, your body It may be as big You've built up enough muscle mass You've built so much that You can handle that much volume But the average person You know, that's more than enough Volume to build an incredible physique Off of The average So far from what I've seen When I've had guys who do And I've seen this with guys Who do body part splits for a long time And who are relatively muscular And strong And then they switch to Training each body part more frequently On average, when they report back to me It's anywhere between A four to seven or eight pound muscle game In a short period of time That's a lot That's a lot of muscle to put on your body When you've been working out For a long time Happened to my cousin My cousin Gabriel was What did body part splits Switched over to more frequent Training of each body part And he gained seven pounds Of lean body mass To something like two months Which to him Was just absolutely mind blowing Well, I think too We're addressing like the majority Our audience The majority of our audience Was doing split Like type of a routine And I think that's why our message Of doing this full body approach Was so impactful Because, you know People hadn't really thought To train that way during the weekend Obviously there's Somebody has been doing Full body routines And more of a functional type Training for quite some time They could benefit greatly From doing a split routine And obviously there's some tweaks That could be made to keep that Frequency involvement there But it's a different mentality And I think that certain people Even myself could benefit From going through something like that You don't see athletes Ever training in a split Ever No It's usually full body Or movement based I would say Right When you played football Would you guys do the same Exercises each time Or was it like Yeah, I mean We would just do mainly Your compound exercises So we would just stick With squats and cleans And front squats And overhead press And all basic barbell moves We wouldn't isolate We wouldn't do any kind of like Single joint type exercises And so that's where I know personally When I do address that And I bring that in Incorporate it into my programming What a benefit I get from that And it feeds right back into The compound list Well, especially from a Sculpting perspective I think you can be Completely healthy And fine doing all these Functional movements Your whole entire life But let's be honest A majority of people Deep down inside Want a look for their body too Overall, yes I think most people That listen to Mind Pump Are chasing health And I think that's A big part of our message But I also think that You'd be a fool to think That some people Don't want a better looking physique I'm already putting the work in I'm already making sacrifice Food-wise How about I get to Sculpt my body too Why the fuck not And this is where Fun Yeah, and this is where Isolation exercises And splitting the body Certain muscles up And just attacking them Like I can see Lots of benefit behind it And not just benefit Like I think it's mandatory If you're going to try And sculpt a physique Like a competitor Or a bikini Or a men's physique Type of an athlete That gets on stage It's necessary I dare you to try And compete against me With only barbell Compound lifts While I'm sculpting My physique Because that's What's the cool part Is that you can And you maybe Can argue You could be a stronger More functional person For me, but that's What I'm doing Is shape my body To give an illusion That it's bigger Or has more of an hourglass Or whatever And that's where a lot of this It's all got value It all has value And it's fun to switch From one to the other There's artistry to that For sure The next question is From the Rachel D What are the best ways To keep track of progress I'm consistently working out Bumping up weight If it's too easy Eating clean Most of the time And I'm still the same weight And it's easy to get Unmotivated So here's why I picked this question It's an important topic Because you'll notice She's talking about how She's being able to work out She seems to be getting stronger You know, eating clean Which means she's probably Doing really good with the food But she's looking at Just her body weight And that's what's Unmotivating her And the reason why I want to talk about this Was because There's so many parameters That you can look at To look at how Your body's changing And improving One of them is Your body weight And I think what happens With a lot of people Is they make that The only parameter Like that is The most important Only parameter And they ignore All the other signs That their bodies May be progressing You know, like When I'm working on mobility I'm not getting stronger In the gym So I'm not going up And weight But what I'm noticing Is maybe a better range Of motion Or more control Or maybe a little bit Less pain Or maybe You're fixing your diet And you're not losing Weight But your skin Is clearing up And your digestion Is getting better And you feel more energy There's a lot of things You can look at That all tell you About your progress And only one of them Is your weight And by the way Can you lose Or gain weight Let's say your goal Is to lose weight Can you lose weight And it be not progress Absolutely Like, what if you Start getting leaner And you feel fucking Terrible and shitty And your quality of life Is decreased You know, you may be Fooling yourself And telling yourself You're losing just as much Muscle mass As you're losing body fat You know what I'm saying Because then Yeah, then you're really Not getting any healthier Your body fat percentage Isn't going down You're losing muscle mass So it's The scale is such a terrible Indicator I mean, I use it But I use it just as Another tool To give me feedback Not like as the tool To give me feedback In fact, it's probably One of the least important Ones out of all things But it does help You know what I'm saying I'm trying to gather All this information How I feel How I look Do you contrast that With I know how you have People really tracking their Water specifically too And like in their diet And like whether Retaining water or not And then also using the Scale in conjunction Great point right there I mean, I find Tracking your water Is more important Than tracking your weight On your scale Because they're Inversely related You start drinking You drink half a gallon More of water every Single day You're going to go up In the scale It's fucking inevitable That's what's going to Wushing it all out As fast as you can Like you're going to hold on To some of it For every three ounces Of carbohydrate Your body intakes You hold three grams Of water So if you're eating And you're drinking More water It's inevitable You're going to hold And retain a little bit More water Which in turn Is going to have the scale Go up Which has nothing to do With you getting fitter You could be Building muscle And burning body fat But then holding some Water Which also can Kind of manipulate The way you look And increase that Or you've increased Your carbohydrate intake So there are many things As far as progress This is what I like to track And you just saw me Over the last month Post every single Workout that I did And track that For everyone to see Now it bores me to death To do it To continue doing it So that's why you haven't Seen me doing it lately But I'm still on my Training And what I do And the reason why it's Boring is Because I'm kind of Going back through What I'm adding volume So now every time I do a workout That I did last month I'm increasing the volume Either through weights If I feel really strong That day So if it's a day I get in the gym And I'm falling a routine That I did last month And I'm getting ready To lift And I'm like Man, I feel strong today So I'm going to push Some weights up I'm going to increase Whatever my lifts are By five or ten pounds Or whatever it is That's one way To increase the volume Or maybe it's a day I don't feel strong And I feel tired I'm like But I'm still going to get My workout in for the day And so what I might do Is add sets I might add a set To all the exercise That I'm doing That's another way I can increase volume And I know that If I'm adding volume To my routine I'm making progress My body is getting stronger It's adapting To handling more volume Therefore I'm progressing Even if my scale Or the mirror Isn't showing me What I would like it To see today Because based off Of whatever I could Do on the day before Otherwise it can get Really daunting The amount of things That you'll need to track To have a really accurate Measure to Are you making progress I think it's just the problem Is that we connect Working out and diet To weight And we don't connect it To anything else When in reality If you eat right And you exercise It's connected to everything It will improve your quality Of life in so many Ways Not just changing your body weight And when people understand So when I coach people This is a point That I try to make with them It's that It has your quality Of life improved For example Let's say somebody You know they clean up Their diet And they start working out With me But they're eating Still a lot of food They're still eating As many calories As they were before So the weight Never changes But they're in the gym Their mobility increases They're stronger They're eating healthier Or at least making better Choices Better Their digestion is better Their energy is probably better They're probably sleeping better Better sex drive Their quality of life has improved Even though their body weight Hasn't changed So I think it's important That we connect exercise And nutrition To everything And not just weight And what you'll find When you do that is A. You'll treat your Workouts and nutrition More appropriately So rather than like Because what happens When the scale doesn't go down Even though your quality Of life might have increased But the scale hasn't changed You may go into the gym And go after it Or in a way That you maybe shouldn't Or you maybe change your Workouts when they were Actually I don't want to see any Weight loss If I have a client Comes in they say I want to lose 40 pounds Adam They just hired me They came off the holidays They've been off the wagon For a long time Eating shit Not really exercising Tired of it They're fed up With this extra weight And they say Adam I'm going to pay you Whatever it takes to Lose this 40 pounds The goal For them After I take their money I say listen The goal is We're not going to lose Any weight right now Give me my money back Scale My goal Week over week Is to see your scale About the same For now We'll eventually get the You know Drop the weight Or maybe we won't You may end up loving The way your body looks When I completely change it Without ever moving The fucking scale For me If I see a huge Drop right out the gates I'm worried that I'm starving you too much Or I'm overtraining You too much In fact I know If I'm Training you And you're working out What you weren't doing before And I'm helping you Make better food choices Throughout the week I know Good things are happening Progress is happening And the scale Swinging up or down Dramatically Are both bad signs Even if the goal Is to lose 40 pounds You drop 10 pounds In a week That's a bad sign That is not good I'm not feeding you enough Or I'm pushing you Hard too fast I don't need to do that So the goal really is To kind of keep the body weight The same While we kind of figure out What homeostasis is Like what does the body Want to be fed Is it responding When we train this way Then we can start to Manipulate that And that's a hard thing To tell somebody Who wants to lose 20, 30 pounds That hey I don't want You to lose anyway You be blown away How much You can change your Body composition Without ever moving The scale Ever And I did Those that have been Following since the beginning Of when I first started I stayed at 213 pounds Over like four month period It was literally Give or take two pounds Up or down That was mostly water But that was the goal And I was explaining that As I was going through that journey Was watch me keep my weight Right around the same But completely change My body composition And the hardest part About it is the mental piece You know that's the It's just it mentally Fucks with you When you think that You want to lose all this way And the scales not moving But in reality You really don't want that If you're adding resistance And you're slowly over time Increasing volume And you're adding more resistance To your training You're fucking building muscle I promise you're building muscle And it's way more dense Than body fat is And so if you see a nice A beautiful place to be When you're trying to get in shape Is a nice little exchange Of you lost a pound of fat You added a pound of muscle You lost a pound of fat Which equals zero Which means the scale Doesn't move But if you can keep that pace For six to eight, ten, twelve weeks Totally change your body Oh my god Are you kidding me Adding ten pounds of muscle Over the course of three months And only losing ten pounds of fat Which equals a net zero movement On the scale That is a fucking whole different person Whole different person That's a twenty That's a twenty pound difference Even though it's ten body fat Ten fat You're losing ten muscle You're building net zero on the scale But that person will look Like twenty pounds has changed Then you just highlight All the rest of the variables That are going on with this person Throughout this whole process Like your sleep Your strength Your energy You know, the way you're pooping You know, the way you're digesting food Like you just have to sort of Present all these other things That are going on So that way you understand That you're changing your entire body This isn't just like about shedding You know, part of your body You know, Sal says it all the time on the show And I love it It's, you know, Chase Health First And then the fitness thing will come If you're looking at those things Those, you know, feedback That your body's giving you As far as sleep and energy And mood and skin and hair and sex And, like, those are all fucking great And exercise and nutrition Done properly Contribute positively to everything Because it's your health It's your total health When you look at all those parameters Then you don't get unmotivated Because you're looking at your, you know The list and you're like, okay Wow, look at this I'm sleeping better My energy's better My skin is better Look at my mobility's increased The scale hasn't changed But you know what? I've got all these other things That are positive Fuck, yeah, man I feel good about what I'm doing Instead of, like, ignoring all those things Which a lot of people do Looking at just the scale Which I did for years I ignored everything but the scale And it was so, it's so deceiving The scale was so deceiving I'd want to gain weight all the time I always want to pack I was packing on body fat Like a fucking polar bear But because the scale went up I was happy Because I wanted to gain weight You know, same thing When I would try to get cut Or whatever Just like, sometimes, you know One of the best things I can do Sometimes for clients that tell them Don't wait, sometimes I tell them to weigh themselves Sometimes I say the opposite Don't weigh yourself anymore Oh, right Get off the scale We're not going to care about that This conversation speaks Right to the intuitive guide Like, even if you're not somebody Even if you're somebody Who's going to be tracking If you're somebody who's competing Even if, like, eating intuitively Isn't something that you care about right now This topic And the things that we're addressing right now I think this is That's an excellent read Just for that Because that's the direction You want to head Especially if you struggle with this You know, feeling of Am I breaking progress Or am I not Or be feeling like You're a slave to the scale Like the intuitive guide Is a great read The next question is from The Strength to Overcome I often find people, myself included Tend to be self-deprecating As a sad attempt at being humble What is your advice on being confident Without being cocky? You know what cocky is? I like this Cocky is somebody who's Who's pretending to be confident That's what cocky is When you see somebody who's cocky Yeah, they're faking it And arrogant That's somebody who's not confident So you can be confident And not be cocky Because confidence is not Good way to describe that Is not cockiness I read an interview a long time ago Hicks and Gracie I don't know if you guys know what he is He's known as being one of the best Yeah, one of the best jujitsu Masters of the Gracie family Doesn't compete or anything anymore But he's kind of a badass And he got interviewed by somebody A long time ago And he said, you know, how do you handle Being a Gracie and getting challenged And people wanting to fight you all the time Like how are you so cool with that And okay with that And he goes, you know He was a five-year-old kid Walked up to you right now And told you they wanted to kick your ass Like would you get all pissed off And angry and throw a punch at him And he goes, of course not And he goes, because you know It's a five-year-old kid And you could have your way with them No problem, you could beat him up You feel no threat And he goes, that's how I walk around all the time I feel, and that's what confidence is Like if you knew you could kick everybody's ass Would you ever go to a bar And posture and act like a tough guy? You wouldn't give a shit Always the tough guy The real badasses are normally like that This is like Kyle Kingsbury wears Like pink unicorn shirts When he goes to the bars Because he doesn't Like he's like Say something to me It's not even that He's just so calm and confident Because he knows he's awesome And that's really what confidence is But I also find confidence in For myself I got so much more confident When I became confident with Not being the best person in the room At something Or not being good at something When I became okay with that Then I got way more confident Like if I'm in a situation where You know, we're doing something And I know I'm not good Or I'm not well versed Or I don't have enough information Being okay with Being okay with that Made a big difference Like saying I don't know Like I don't know That's honestly I was gonna voice the fact of When I was more honest And I just gave up the whole Trying to say something That I knew, you know Somebody would Oh wow, they'd be dazzled by it Or like dress up whatever I did With more story behind it And you know, just tell Exactly how it happened Exactly what I know If I'm gonna voice in what I know And I'm gonna say When I don't know something It's just like You just get this immediate Confidence boost because There's not all this pressure To be something that you're not I think the Making fun of yourself To your attempt to be humble I really think that That can also be a sign Of your own insecurities To do that Like you don't I would take this approach Like if they're Instead of like Making fun of myself In an area I'll just be Straightforward about like Man that really That scares me to do that Or you know Or man when you just said That to me Fuck that hurt my feelings I didn't realize how much That hurt my feelings When you said that I think like Okay so you're a great book Along these lines Jack Welch is winning And I think I've mentioned it A long time ago on the show But learning to be candid With people and radical honesty And being direct To me is a great sign Of confidence When somebody is so confident In who they are They are not afraid to say How they feel And what's on their mind And I think that Much of our insecurities Much of our cockiness Comes out when We are trying to pretend Like we are something That we are not And that could also become With the you know Making fun of yourself That also can be that too Where you're You know hey If you're Feel insecure about something Then fucking voice it Don't be afraid to say that Yeah and I think That's where a lot of comedy I mean I do that a lot You know and I Definitely have a self Deprecating sort of You know operating system But it's more It's more about like Contributing to Make light of things Like I am insecure About certain things I know I suck at certain Things I'm going to jump And get to it Before you have a chance So that's where we're at I'm putting it all out there And I feel great You know I feel great about like You know yeah Come say something I haven't already said Well I think self Deprecating humor can also be What we do on this show a lot I think we have a natural flow Between the three of us Where I'll serve the guys up On something I know I'm gonna get fucking Eating up on like Oh I bring things up On purpose I know You guys are gonna put You know I'll say something That I did And I know you guys Are gonna fucking Make fun of me over Right But it's hilarious And I also don't give a shit Like it's all good That's why it works The dance between Confident and cocky I think man Or what I used to say Is the dance between Being ultra confident And then also humble At the same time Is one of the finest dances I think that you can Never learn to do And so important to Being a great leader Because you have to be Able to have that Confidence that people Want to follow you Because they trust That you can lead them But then also be humble enough To listen to them Or to be able to be Like them too And I think that It is a tough dance For a lot of people And I think if you Feel like you're trying To do it That's already your first Your first mistake I think it's something That you will have over time And I think the easiest way To start in that direction Is learning again Being just radically honest Learning to speak your mind To say how you feel To not be afraid of others People are going to judge you People are going to make fun of you Whether you like it or not Yeah, no matter I don't care how fucking smart You are I mean look at some of them Just know it's coming Look at some of the most Brilliant minds And most famous Talented people out there For as many people They have worshipping them They have as many people Talking shit about them So that's inevitable So once you get comfortable With that That people are always Going to judge you And truly having the zero fucks I don't give a fuck Attitude about it Like that's on them That's a reflection Of their insecurities That they feel the need To voice talking shit about me What are they maybe I'm going to be me And because I already know Being me I think it's hard for people I think it's hard for people To be me in this society That we live in today So I think practicing Being yourself And being comfortable With yourself Will bleed into this Confidence that you Want to have And it won't come off As cocky I think a lot of times When people think that others are I used to come off cocky Sometimes And I think the reason Why I came off cocky Was because Part of my confidence Was partially Like what Sal was saying Was driven through insecurities Because I was An insecure boy growing up Now as I got older And I became more comfortable In my own skin That cockiness Definitely completely faded away And it's a true confidence now That nobody's going to Shake me no matter What you say to me I had this one client That I trained once For a while I trained for about a couple years Great guy Became one of my favorite people Ever to work with Super nice dude Would come in We'd have a great workout Great discussion Just really liked the guy And he drove a Nissan Pathfinder That had like 250,000 miles It looked like You know It looked like a car He'd had forever And I had no idea You know Where he lived Or whatever And you know I knew he was You know I knew he had worked In medicine So I knew he was Relatively successful But I really know much And I went over his house After a couple Years of working with him And again We're driving You know He drives this Piece of shit Like Pathfinder We drive up to his house And he has a fucking Estate Like a man Like I had no idea This guy had that much money But it's because He wore regular clothes When he worked out Sometimes his sweaters Would have holes in them So then I asked him The next day After I went over his house I trained him And I'm like dude You're a fucking baller And he starts laughing And I'm like You've got a lot of money I said I would've never known I said Why do you drive that That Pathfinder That piece of shit Pathfinder Cause I was close with him I could say that And he goes Cause it's still running He goes I really don't care About cars that much But you can tell I like my house So I spend a lot of money There And stuff And I remember hearing that Like God you know How many people with that Much money Would be okay With driving A crappy car But I really like that About him And it's probably What drew me to him But I didn't know Any of that stuff I wouldn't ever get Confidence in another human Being is one of the most Attractive qualities Men, women doesn't matter It does not Confidence is such And again Confidence to me Really is just Being yourself That's what it is Being so comfortable With who you are And I think It's more Difficult People say that Like it's so easy But a lot of It's a constant struggle And I mean I was reading this book Over the weekend And they were highlighting The fact that most Of the successful people That people idolize And know Have made it to the very top Like they struggle With this imposter syndrome They struggle with the fact That they don't feel Like they're this person With authority That has all the answers And like you know On the top level Right Like everybody has that Like they don't They don't feel comfortable With all the eyes on them But at the same time The people that do Like you feel like Exude the confidence It's just that they know that They're being themselves And they can carry
