Oh, yes Here we have Steven Salley in corner bath At the tee ready to spit bars for dunk tip Tuesday Welcome back folks episode 14. Have you seen all the episodes probably not that's fine It's because he's already elite This is for the people that need to learn and to get into the dunk life don't Barth By the way is one of the best advocates for what the dunk life represents. I just want to put that out there I'm a dunk life day-wonder. He's a day-for-life day-wonder and also, let me tell you what I told just to get that This is an exclusive for the listeners and the watchers not behind the scenes if you guys tune into this Sometimes you get behind the scenes sometimes you get nuggets that I would share with Barth But I'm putting it public in the world ready. I'm ready. You guys are inside on the joke So I posted An Instagram post me doing the one-hand dunk like Cassia Stanley in the dunk contest Sometimes well actually all the time I post the best content I could possibly post because that's how I like to create my art That's how I like to post videos. That's how I like to use social media the energy that you guys know about it You guys know well. That's what this video is about. It's all about the energy behind it, but Sometimes you jump on the algorithms. You said why not ride this wave? I didn't even know there was a dunk contest I was way out of the loop by the way. I tuned it. I didn't even know it was all-star weekend I didn't even know that it was going on. I tune in I catch it. It was fun And then I'm like, oh, this is a perfect time for me. Just post something viral on Instagram I'll post my one-hand dunk cause a controversy get some engagement. So I said who did it better, right? Cassia Stanley get his head by the rim. It's like no competition, right? So some people love to comment like he did it better and I want to be like this How do you know and the the inside joke with that is that? No S and I'm not even cursing look I took out the word the rest of that word no s because obviously he did it better You're not catching on that it's engagement. So now I'm gonna get to see how much I can squeeze out of you You're gonna comment again. So someone just did it. You can go to that post It's me when it's 510. It's a yellow background and I do a one-hand dunk Cassius is a one-hand dunk He goes Cassius did it better and I've responded How do you know question mark and he's gonna comment again? I baited him So I'm getting a double entendre comment out of the point of the post which is engagement So point being to start this podcast and start this episode is when the end it when you're trying to build energy Don't let anybody sway that energy. Just just use it and just amplify it every chance you get you can amplify it Even if someone's being a little dangus and they're bringing me down Am I getting frustrated because I can't do this Cassius Stanley and I haven't made progress on my one-foot jumping in a long Yeah, and guess what that's fine, and now I'll let Connor Barth talk I was kind of curious actually what you like you had posted that and that was the first thing I thought was like Well, he knows this so why did he do this? Yeah, so that's what I like about behind the scenes is that I don't like I don't always like engagement But I do like to see funny comments So I'm trying to just make the engagement about funny comments and I like people that say funny stuff They're like the big all Stephen you did it way better as just like you're just hyping me up those guys That those those are the real lovers. There was something I did on tiktok that was like that Like oh no, I so Isaiah Isaiah and all these guys like my birthday was this Saturday, right? What and yeah, oh, I said happy birthday. Yeah But um so Isaiah commented on like the post I did that day, and he was like congrats on turning 30 and But I'm not turning 30 and so like they just started this train of people being like you're 30, bro That's crazy. You jump so high for being 30 and like even some of my clients messaged me I'm like dude if I'm jumping like that when I'm 30 like that's goals, and I was like, yeah Dude, what's funny about that is how old are you first of all 27? You're me. Yeah, you're like me So what's funny is first of all you're closing. I was gonna say I thought you were a lot younger like a two years younger But you're the same age We're closing in on 30 and we're definitely gonna be flying at 30 So we're creeping into the realm of like wow instead of being like there's a weird barrier I'm in right now is like how come I'm not jumping higher than this if I've been training for so long But then once I hit 30 it almost flips like dude this guy's 30 still flying. What's yeah, like you know I could jump like three fourths as high as I do and people like damn you're in your 30s And you can dunk still like that's crazy And I'm thinking to me. I'm thinking like if I'm not jumping higher at 34 than I am right now I did something wrong. I know I'm gonna go to remixes Bootcamp and see if I can siphon some of his blood. Yeah So yeah What so it's dunk tip Tuesday this week right now someone listening to it today the Ides of March Which was yesterday because we're posting this on Tuesday So the Ides of March are yesterday today's Tuesday. You wake up Tuesday. What should a dunk or do? What's something that you want to tell him right now go with your heart go with your gut Tell him right now right when you wake up Well, just like it's it's a Tuesday. They're watching this. It's Tuesday. They're like gosh go to the bathroom Hey, whoa All right, because if you're not drinking enough water that you have to go to the bathroom when you wake up You're probably not drinking enough water. There it is folks. He threw he threw me for a loop But he brought it back before a loop brought it back. That's the corner bar an actual tip Whoa Sliding down the face time. So let's see what mine would be mine would be right now the energy I'm in is oh I was saying this today Attention to detail because we talk a lot about the goals the long-term goals But how many times this is this is part of the dunk life This is why I have you on again and again and again and again again because How much do you think about dunking when you're not in the gym? It's almost like too easy. I think yeah, I think it's the other way around I think it's how often do I not think about dunking That's why I asked it that way because just that's how I want people to see their dunk training Is that it's always training a.k.a. the dunk and In the lifestyle I Didn't want to just say dunk life. Yeah, but but I will say like yeah Like like I I think about dunking far more than I don't think about dunking But it's like obviously it's just connections right like everything is connected like hey Do I want to have this pizza from Pizza Hut or do I want to have like chicken and a salad and some fruit? Or and that's like that's me thinking about dunking but not necessarily directly thinking about it And it's like hey Do I want to go play basketball the night because these random people invited me or do I want to not do that and go? Lift and do the training I'm supposed to do like I'm thinking about dunk life and like it's 10 o'clock at night Do I want to stay up and edit these extra posts or do I want to like actually get the sleep? I need wake up earlier and not waste as much time during the day so that I can get more done But still do the things I need to do for dunk life And then because I coach then it's I'm still thinking about dunk life because it's like how do I help these people live their Nice life Their dunk life. Yeah, so that's that's what I wanted to talk about is that Anytime you're not in the gym anytime. You're not actually dunking or anytime. You're not like doing something physical is more of the time you're spending in your life and So if you really want to train properly I Suggest starting to build awareness around all those other details of your life because there's so much you're doing That and and then also how you do one thing is how you do everything So if you're really diligent in the gym, but you're not diligent with your sleep or you're Like you're saying with your fun activities like we just want to go hoop or you're just what you're eating You're not going to be able to be as diligent in the gym and Subconsciously you're not as diligent because if you're super diligent with your diet You're gonna train like super diligent as well. Yeah, I would say that like If you think you're really diligent in the gym, but the rest of your life is a mess You're probably not as diligent as you think you are Because it will that personality trait will kind of like spread out into everything you do in life Definitely, but the same thing is okay. Maybe you're not that diligent in anything right now. That's fine But start being diligent in one thing and that mentality will spread to the rest of your life as long as you stick with it so I Totally agree now. I want to ask you this you had a crazy dunk session this weekend. Can you talk about it? Talk about whatever you want. Let's tell me about it. Tell us who is there golden bear showed up the pics are filthy Yeah, so so Isaiah Rivera came CJ came Austin Burke He came Justin or Justin Jordan Sutherland came a golden bear came to take pictures Ball his life was there Who else do you listen like it's crazy because they're all our friends Yeah, think about that lineup and think about like what just happened and think about what this will Seem like in a few years all those people together and the golden bear shooting. Yeah, it's just like it's a bunch of goats All sitting around dunking. It's like it's basically you guys showed up to a freaking farm and you guys just oh Travis dunks Travis dunks came have his dunks and and what's cool about Travis is like like a lot of us have known Travis for like years Now all the Graham, right? Yeah, and like he's 18 now He started training when it was 13 and like now he's actually getting to be like pretty good and like he He started training for dunking before I started training for dunking, but I knew about Yeah, but it's just like that's really wild. Yeah, but he was younger. So like I think Travis don't did CJ junk He did after so CJ CJ filmed for like Isaiah And for balls life and then he he dunked after a little bit same thing. It's gonna be a ball as life session, right? Yeah, yeah, so you yeah, so you won't see me posting it for a while But it'll be out on ball as life whenever it's out on all his life. So That's super sick. So tell us any highlights that you can share or like just you can do So Isaiah and I dunked pretty good Jordan Sutherland is literally on another planet That guy is insane like like Like I'm a good dunker. Yeah, Sutherland is a god tear dunker like we we jumped for three like three hours and it was one of those and Like he was doing the runks three hours into the session. I was literally about to die Yeah, like how you feeling now that was I feel fine yesterday. Yeah, I have a lot of muscle soreness, but knees feel good Yeah, ankles feel good Was it a full dunk day for you like you were prepped and ready for it Or was it kind of just like a day that you could dunk this this was a full dunk day for me I actually jumped really really high at the start of the session like I had a windmill with almost my back foot on the Frito line But I just didn't have hands and that's fine. I don't honestly it doesn't mean that much I mean, sometimes we just you don't have hands. You don't even got legs. Yeah, and sometimes I have hands and not legs so What do you do on those days? I like make dunks that I shouldn't make but my hand speed so good that I make them Anyway, that's so funny. So what would you prefer hands and no legs or no legs and hands? You just said the same thing twice Whatever dude, and and but yeah, I would prefer to just jump super high and not have hands because even if I don't have Even if I don't have hands I can still just bang the ball and that is the set I mean we already talked about this last week like bang. I just want to bang it Yeah, did you like the edit I made for us by the way? Yes, I did I think all my followers liked it too That's awesome. Dude. I want to we're gonna do that every week. We're good. That's the beauty of this part We'll see what happens. That's definitely gonna be a snip when we fricking say you got no hands Do you want to know what you hit? Yeah? Oh, no go ahead. I Want to hear you said okay random fun fact. I was looking at my tick-tock and I have 25% of my followers of my 19,000 or women Excuse me is that not weird and my is weird on Instagram is like 99.99% men, but on tick-tock. It's a quarter of my followers or women. I Wonder what that is. I think it's probably because the posts that you have no hands. They probably like maybe Maybe what do you what do you really think that is? Why would that be I want to check my stats now? I kind of think that like I just think tick-tock is more of like Something that everyone gets on and just scrolls through and sees things that would be my guess You know Drake had a really powerful line in his latest song. I think it's called lemon pepper freestyle Hmm. He had a really intelligent line that I really liked which I've been feeling lately I might have discussed this with you which I definitely said on the podcast that no one really listened to I don't want to say no one but very few because when I post dunk stuff Thousands of views when I post stuff that I want to talk about that's not dunk related It gets very few views, but anyway, it was a good idea, but and I wanted it out in the universe I don't even care if anybody listens It's just for me is to express myself to get it out of my body because if I leave it in my body It's gonna make into energy that I don't need And what it was was that social media is becoming so saturated and so many people are trying to make things look good Not just like show off. I'm not saying show off I'm saying like marketed wise like worried so much about how well it resonates or what they're saying when and And and they're so because it is a smart tactic, right? I definitely think like I was saying in the beginning of this podcast is I was trying to get engagement I think there's still a balance, but I think people got so focused on the marketing pieces They forgot about the content. Yeah, I think tick tock is more of that just genuine like here's a funny thing Here you go, and it's not really marketed at anyone and like that's actually good content. It goes up That's what I like about yeah, yeah, like Instagram became like you can't really get this like oh post something funny And it'll get a ton of views and like go all over the place because it has to also be like Formatted properly to be marketable and get engagement like I think that's so lame But it is I get it. That's how they make money But yes, but I still think on Instagram if your post is too ridiculous It still goes viral like for example somebody with no followers if they had some crazy event happened to them Whether it's good or bad it could go viral because people pick it up and you know I'm saying what's crazy Like it's delayed sometimes like sometimes I'm gonna post something and then months later It'll go viral cuz like enough people saw it and just pops up. Yeah. Yeah Yeah, so my the thing was I was saying was I was the whole point of what I brought it up was I feel like We got too far away from just making good content and also just doing good things like for example If you tried to keep posting your stuff like for me, I can't really dunk right now So instead of trying to make the best content I'm working on myself physically and then say in two years I jump higher than ever now I have a video from like of a three-year gap where I didn't make progress again You know and then that's a really impactful video whether it does well or not is besides the point But it's it's how it literally changed my life and it's like the story, right? It's it's like showing a big event that is the whole reason I got into Instagram and the first place was literally just to track my progress and it didn't have so much to do with like Me wanting anyone to notice me It's still really not like that like Instagram for me is a little more business like but I'm actually gonna focus more on Tiktok now because I want to do funny stuff Yeah, like I just like doing stupid stuff this session actually had a lot of that For people to see it. I just got to drop the Drake line because I brought it up I don't want to forget it do it which was so all of that nonsense I was just talking about that was about that disconnection was Drake summed it up in one line where he says Something about fame has been disconnected from excellence Which I think sums it up great Which is like tiktok is like people get famous quote-on-quote with a lot of followers, but they don't have any Value like Entertainment is fine like people say silly is not good silly is great entertainment is entered I love comedy and stuff like that But some people get viral and then there's nothing there like people follow because it's they're getting followed Yeah, and like it's interesting too because There's there they're getting followers and like you know, they're making money off of it, too And it's their content might be kind of funny, but it's not the same as like comedy like I don't know how to describe it exactly, but it really doesn't have much value in my mind It's it's almost like it's it's like this guy does funny things instead of just is funny meaning like they're like Oh, that is a funny act like if someone falls down like say for example someone played a prank Right, but then it's like okay. He's doing a prank like but the prank doesn't work But it's like oh, he's doing a prank so he's a pranks deserve follows You know I mean like it doesn't even work one of the things that really annoys me This is just random and like kind of sidetracking now, but like social media in general track. It's so fake. I Hate it so much. I hate the fakeness of it Like like I would rather see someone's genuine personality Then have to see them like fake things to like make drama or or like fake being funny You're like or or like script events like it's one thing if you're making like an actual like skit But like there's lots of fake drama where people are like, oh why it's like like look what's about to happen Like this person's about to and it's like it's so fake like it is obviously a fake video that like something horrible happens But it didn't actually happen. So you know what we do about it. This is what I do. You just you you be the good energy I mean, that's all you can do. That's all you can do, baby Let's wrap it up. Let's wrap it up 17 minutes. What could we end it on in a dunk on a dunk note? Pay attention to details Details What's your current status with your training so dunk day went well? How did you recover from that? Well today I haven't actually worked out yet like Just people don't know this but it's a little bit later at night right now But actually as soon as we're done here. I'm going straight to the gym. So to do I am going to go squat Dang squat. I'm gonna deadlift heavy Probably not as heavy as I normally would because the session was so long But I'm gonna try to go as heavy as I can comfortably. Yeah, I got a question for you that I was talking about on my Instagram So I think this will be timely what has Been helpful for you in terms of getting stronger Versus gaining size or have you had a trouble gaining size or gaining size when you don't want to gain size But you want to get stronger. I Have not really had a problem gaining size. I also think that like people over Think the size thing like like coming like a lot of that has to do with how much you're eating to But like if you're just lifting to get stronger, which is usually like lower rep ranges, but heavier weights Doesn't always have to be but that's the general Like you're not gonna put on just insane amounts of size, but you will gain muscle You will get bigger, but that's not bad and and everyone kind of needs to like self-regulate again This everything becomes so personal. It's like some people gain size much quicker So like if you are and it's making you jump lower All right, maybe you don't want to gain size But if you are getting stronger you're gaining size and you're jumping higher and you feel better You shouldn't care unless you really don't like that aesthetic and then that's something else like you have to pick what you're training for so I Also, yes, and I that leaves it So my point would be that there's different ways to train and I like what you said the lower rep ranges I think that's the quick answer I would give is that at some point elite elite levels This is way down the line when you've gotten super strong and you've gotten jumping super high at some point You need to get a little bigger to literally have more muscle to have produced more force But that's way down the line And then the other thing I was gonna say is and that there's different ways to do that like higher reps and like stimulate more Muscle breakdown and muscle damage and I was also gonna say People need to just start doing it They always want to know these questions so like you said overthink that really stood out to me because people want to Figure it out so much But if you that goes back to the social media thing if you start doing more and start focusing your energy on Doing it instead of trying to look for the answers. You're gonna learn so much more You're gonna grow so much more from doing dude My speed advice for anyone who's trying to like jump higher is just stop thinking so hard and just start doing and Yes, and and like in terms of like all the different like there's like there's all these Complicated systems you hear about of like all these different phasic systems and like don't worry about that Just go to the gym do the lifts do the basic lifts are fine do some stretching Get some recovery eat correctly like and jump like As long as you're tracking how you feel and you're not like pushing through horrible pains or like things like that Yeah, like that's that's enough And if you do that correctly for long enough because most people don't even stick with a basic thing For a long time so you're not ready for the advanced thing so chill out like I'm like I'm still doing Basic stuff because I'm not good enough at the basic stuff yet, and I can jump as high Which is how high what's your burp right now? It's like a 44 44 that's a crazy elite and he's still doing basic stuff So Connor what would be the craziest thing that could happen to you this week that you want to happen? The craziest thing that can happen to me Yeah, out of the blue out of the blue 25% of my tiktok followers could message me Oh Dude, that's too many do the math. It's like like 5000 yeah, oh My god, okay, and now if you could have if you could if you could send them Okay, I pick a girl on Instagram. Do you have a crush? No Instagram, okay, forget that what about if you could have a guest pod. Would you have your own podcast? You know, I've been thinking about it But I kind of like coming on yours Okay, maybe we'll just do that. All right. I'm trying to think of other questions to ask you before we go Let's see the what's a common question you get dunk related or not dunk related Usually the question I get is it all genetics legs? Mmm. Is it no? Short answer is no So what is it? Well here here. This is an interesting question that I think stretches. Do you think stretchy skin helps 100% Okay, if you think like your skin stretches and then you can stretch more and then if you stretch more You're like a rubber band and like yeah, yeah Um, I I think that genetics is like a thing for sure Like if you if anyone's denying genetics like you're stupid. Yeah, but I I think it's overstated. I think that yeah like Yes, I had good genetics But I also jumped every day for 13 years and then I started lifting every day for three like I Don't it's a bad argument and and how much of it is genetics versus like nurture or what do people say that like Nature and nurture. Yeah, nature and nurture like I think it's much more to do with the nurture than it does have to be with nature as humans were extremely adaptable People so like use it, but just realize it might take you 10 years That's the problem people. Yeah, yeah, like genetic freaks will have a faster turnover of doing something Genetic not so freaky's will take longer but can still do it Got it. That's awesome. What's the nerdiest thing you did today today? Yeah, or and I looked up those like blockchain Images that are going around you know like people are like I don't know okay It's like a cryptocurrency for like pictures and videos and they like they have like limited runs of like videos and pictures And so it's like it's almost like card collecting like sports card collecting Like for the NBA it's called top shot and it's kind of going viral right now And like people are making like literally millions off of it Beautiful, but it just blows my mind because the things themselves are literally worth nothing Like it's just an electronic thing you get and they just don't make they don't send it to anyone, but you are you invested in Bitcoin? No, I'm not I am and I left it from like two years ago. So I'm just riding it Yeah, I don't think it was a bad idea and like if you can you should do things like that But it in the end it is gambling. So yeah, I'm this is okay for quick investment advice What I do is I I have some in the safe some on the risk Yeah, and you have fun If you have enough in the safe you can be a little risky What's the what's the best noise you can make right now at a good level that we don't break eardrums the best noise I can make I could give you mine. What's yours? Dude Killed it. I know wait. Can I get the raindrop? Oh Almost dang. All right. Well any What should we add to our podcast as we do this? What do you think we should add that be cool? Oh, you know what I want to do. I want to review dunks with you. So maybe next week will review your dunks Yeah, we should post to Instagram. Would you help me with that?
