 Question is from Anahata Lifestyle. What do you think you young people in their 20s need to hear about training and nutrition? What are their biggest misconceptions? Easy there, Doug. Yeah, all right. I butchered that one. Boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop. So what, okay, so people in their 20s. That one. I gotta think of myself. What do we think they need to hear as far as training and nutrition and what are their biggest misconceptions? I think one of the biggest misconceptions in your 20s right now, and I think it's something it's not new. You've heard this on a mine pump a million times. It's the over application of intensity. Everybody on Instagram is making a martyr of themselves to show their sacrifice. How bad do you want it? If you care bad enough. 4 a.m. clocking. Yeah, exactly. Or showing pictures of your watch at 4 a.m. every day in beast mode and all. And so we've over glorified the value and the benefits of intensity to the point where everybody thinks that in order to get a very effective workout you've got to be hobbling out of the gym the next day or done. And the reason why that it works when you're 20 and you can do that and you can kind of like go up the yo-yo back and forth. Oh, I'm on and I'm crushing it for a while then I'm off. And I'm on and I'm crushing it for a while then I'm off. And then eventually you get older and you go like what ends up happening to these 20 year olds 20 years later is they recall what the way they were training in their 20s and they try and duplicate it. They either try and duplicate it or they just ride it off. Fuck that. I'd rather be a little. I can't do it now. Yeah, I'd rather just accept the dad bod and just, you know, forget. I don't want to exercise that. I mean, I have friends that were like this because even in our era there was an Instagram that was promoting this but the athletic mindset like we all train like we are professional athletes and training to be healthy and aesthetically fit is totally different than a wide receiver for the NFL and you have no business nor do you need to train that way. But that's what's sexy. That's what's sexy on Instagram. So I think the kids and their 20s that are that listen to this podcast need to evaluate who they're following and the message that they're presenting. And what I see a lot of is the over application of intensity. Yeah, I 100% agree with that and I'll add to that in terms of I think that sleep is definitely with the 20 year old mindset is definitely an afterthought. And I think that the biggest sort of awakening I've had in terms of the way that I am able to still progress is, you know, like getting better quality sleep and being able to be fully recovered and allow my body to actually repair and rebuild itself. That's such a vital component to building muscle and to thriving and being healthy and operating all systems of the body. And so I think that is definitely undervalued when you're young. You just think that you could just keep going and hammering your way through everything and sleep is something that you'll get to eventually. Yeah, now I'm gonna balance that out a little bit because you guys are 100% right but I'm gonna balance it out and I'm gonna say this. If there's any point in your life where it's appropriate to test your limits and to see, no joke, don't joke. If there's ever a time in your life where you can work as much as you possibly can just to see where your limits are, push yourself hard to see where your limits are, don't hurt yourself, but just to see what you're capable of, your 20s is the time to do it. That's when you, if you're gonna work 80 hours or 150 hours a week or whatever, go for it. If you're gonna work out two or three times a day, okay, go and test it out. If you're gonna drink with your buddies and whatever, that's the time you wanna test out your limits. Totally fine, of course, be safe. The real lesson in my opinion from the 20s is this, is that be growth-minded because it doesn't last forever. It's okay to learn your limits but then learn how to fine-tune everything and be okay with changing as your life changes. As things change, context changes, you have to be okay with letting that go because I know a lot of people who get stuck, they get so stuck in that mind space that now they're 30 or 40, they have kids and no, no, no, no, I'm still gonna be like I was in my 20s. They burn themselves out, they get sick, they hammer their metabolisms, they get injured. That's where the problems really lie. Yeah, and I think that raises a good point but also I think they can do a better job of being able to push themselves but finding themselves back at homeostasis. And I think that that doesn't even get considered when you're in the mentality of like, I'm just gonna hammer through work, I'm gonna hammer through these workouts, like I'm just not gonna sleep. And then later it builds like really bad habits like going forward. It does, you get used to it and you think that that's how you're always gonna be or you cause long-term, potentially long-term damage. I mean, I would have clients that would come see me in their mid-30s and they're so burnt out that it would take me a year. No joke, it would take me a full year of scaling down exercise, getting better sleep, looking at their nutrition. After a year, their body finally started responding because it took us that long to repair what happened before. Or it was somebody in their 20s who they could eat whatever they want. They had a fast metabolism. Now I have them in their 30s and they've got four food intolerances. They have irritable bowel syndrome or inflammatory- They're not indestructible. Totally. So you can definitely push yourself but you gotta listen to your body and be smart about it. But again, if you're gonna test yourself and see where those limits are, that's probably the time to do it.
