 One of the absolute best foods you can eat for muscle, athletic performance, recovery, strength is beef. Almost no other food out there matches beef in terms of its key nutrients, how easily you assimilate them. Protein, protein, it's quite possibly close to the perfect food for athletes. So if you're looking to build muscle and strength and improve athletic performance, beef, it's a good thing. So what's for dinner? Where's the beef? Yeah. I almost said that. Beef. It's what's for dinner. I mean, where is it? We're not sponsored by beef. Where are those commercials bent? I mean, where's the beef? So a rib eye steak covers every essential vitamin nutrient that we could potentially need. It does. I mean, okay, now I'm not advocating that you just eat beef. You could, that doesn't mean you should, but my point with this is that if you're looking at like key nutrients that people tend to lack or tend to find or nutrients that we tend to be deficient in that cause things like weakness or low energy, be vitamins, iron, protein, protein, yes. And grass fed meat has a great fatty acid profile because one of the, one of the criticisms of beef is, oh, it's so high in saturated fat, so high in these Omega fatty acids or inflammatory conventional beef can be that way. Grass fed beef has a way better Omega three, Omega six fatty acid profile. And it's just leaner anyway. So it's, it's more of a protein food when you compare like fatty cuts. But yeah, like if you want to get your B vitamins up in your iron and zinc and other things like that, like beef not only contains those things, but it contains very bio available forms of them because you could get iron from plant sources. You don't absorb it nearly as well. Not even close. You have like an iron deficiency or, you know, like go eat some beef. It's one of the easiest ways to bring it up and then be vitamins, like I said. Yeah. And then you get your organ meat, which is you take a whole another level to that in terms of condensed nutrients and minerals and, you know, through liver and everything else like organ meat wise, you can't heart and what not. So organ meat is so high you have to be careful not to get too much. Some of it. Yeah. You can overdose. Some of it. You know what's weird about organ meat is that if you eat an organ, it contains the amount that contains the nutrients that your organ that corresponds to it need quite a bit of, for example, okay, liver King, you know, that was, you know, that was his big, his big thing, right? Was it? Yeah. That was not why he ate so many balls. Yeah. Yeah. No, that was like, so his, his big, his big thing where he was traveling around all over the place and talking about how he eats like every, every organ or anything from, from balls, heart or something like that is that the nutrients from that, from balls goes to better testosterone production though for heart goes to better heart health. Well, here's how it works. Like, okay. So like heart, your heart requires a lot of a nutrient called CoQ10 eating heart. It means you're going to get a lot of CoQ10 because heart tissue contains lots of CoQ10. The brain, right? Let's say you eat brains. Not advocating any brains. I think that's probably one of the more dangerous organs. Because of the prions. Yeah. Weird stuff. But, but very high in cholesterol. Why? The human brain is very high in cholesterol. So there's some truth in that. And he went too far. Yeah. I think eating a lot of balls is going to give you bigger balls. Has it done anything for Justin? Yeah. I just like the taste. Wow. He took it to the next level. He doesn't know the flavor. Don't be scared. But you know, when it comes to, when it comes to, to, to like foods that are like anabolic and, you know, okay now, to be clear, your diet is going to, is varied. There's lots of components to your diet. So, you know, that's, that's clear. But if you have to pick one food that really meets lots of these needs and that could be labeled as anabolic, pro-strength athletes have known this for years. Strength athletes have known this for years. Beef is a king. When it comes to this, beef, eggs, those two foods right there will give you quite a bit. And I've done this with clients. Well, they'll eat the same exact diet, same macros and everything. And then they'll include more beef versus chicken or fish. And they know the strength gains. Usually. What happens? Me too. I've heard like people kind of bring up the fact that, you know, around the world, like people that are in like third world countries, like their, their whole value system is in their livestock and their animals that they, they raise up and they, they bring, and that's like their only food source and to, to, you know, have this blanket statement that beef is bad for you. Like, what are you doing to everybody else around the world that like survives off of this? But again, grass fed beef is, is better if you eat a lot of beef. Like if you eat like I do, I'll eat, I eat on average probably half a pound to a pound of beef on most days. So I ate a lot of red meats. It's the primary source of whole food protein that I get. I go grass fed because at that level, the fatty acid profile makes a difference. Not if you eat beef here and there, doesn't make that big of a difference. But if you eat it as often as I do, like my butcher box that I get every month, like that's, I would say 80% of the beef that I eat comes from butcher boxes, grass fed. It's not the conventional stuff. I mean, we've always had, our role has been, and I've talked about it more than once on the show. So some people are probably tired of hearing it, but it's just when I'm home, we cook with the butcher box meat. And so that's my way of getting, because the truth is like, you'll never beat a grain fed fucking steak, dude. A grain fed fatty steak. Yeah. It's just a different level of like fat. Super palatable. Yeah. Like a wagyu steak. I mean, just so palatable, the amount of fat that's in that steak. So when we eat out at a restaurant, I eat out at a restaurant the other day, like I'll order like a grain fed type of steak. But then when I'm home, which I'm eating home 80% to 90% of the time, I'm going to make a grass fed choice. And I think, and the best part about butcher box is that they have found a way in my opinion to make some of the best tasting meat that is grass fed, because in the past, I was just turned off by grass fed meat. It was so different that it was like, oh, I didn't like it. The best from them, the one that I can almost not tell. The tri-tip one. Yeah. I know you cook that a lot. I had a lot of the tri-tip from. You do a lot of tri-tip in pork, right? I like it. What do you eat most from there? I do tri-tip. I'll do the steak tips. I'll do, I'll do a little bit of the pork chop, but what was the other one that I got into recently from them? But I mean, I have done the chicken nuggets, which was like a find, you know, from them for the kids and stuff in for me. I steal it from the kids, but I make it for the kids and I eat it myself. I eat the hell out of them, too. You still both haven't had the skill yet. Wait till you guys have the skill. I'm waiting for that. I wish you guys would hurry up and get that done, because we can see the top. New York strips. Because that is like, I mean, I continue to get introduced to like things that they have that are amazing. I told you, you got Katrina to order the pork. Yeah. And she did the whole like slice the middle of it and put like, I forget what she put in the middle of it. Oh, she makes it a, oh. Cheese and stuff. Oh yeah. Really? She folds it. She makes like a little. Yeah. She cuts it open and then she puts cheese and ham. Yeah. Cheese and ham inside the middle of the pork tenderloin or whatever. Wow. Yeah. And then she put something else with it. She found some crazy recipe and served it up to me one night. I was like, yeah. No, I literally take them. I slice them in half to make them thin. I dip them in egg and then Planko or panko or whatever. Yeah. Gluten-free breadcrumbs. Yeah, panko. And then I fry them. It's a German. I don't remember what's called. Schnitzel. Oh, no, no. Schnitzel. Is it? Yeah. Wow, you were close. You made up a word. It's called schnitzel. My gibber jabber sometimes pays off. Sweet. That's weird. Is that really what it was? Schnitzel. It's called schnitzel. Doesn't that sound like a made-up word? It does. Yeah. I don't even want to call this. I've only gone have a schnitzel before. It's just, it's what I said. It's pork that's fried with breadcrumbs. Stupid. Stop it. Hush puppies. Yeah. Isn't that potato spuds or something? I don't know. It's like deeply fried though. It tastes like, it tastes like a gluten ball. That's what it tastes like. I don't know what a hush puppy is. Isn't that, that's a southern food, right? Hush puppies are made of cornmeal batter with like garlic powder. Yeah. Oh, that sounds like a bomb. It's a gluten bomb, bro. It definitely is. That sounds delicious. It is delicious though. Yeah. We had, we had one. Did you like fall asleep afterwards? Yeah, I did. And I'm like, that looks, that sounds kind of good. Did you dip it in anything or are you like that? You have, it comes with a butter, just you wipe it on the butter or whatever, and then it had like a jalapeno mix inside of it too. Oh God. Yeah, no, it was good. I mean, I could see myself wanting to eat a bunch of them, but I knew better. Like as soon as I bit into it, I'm like, oh, this is like a gluten bomb. I can just tell. It's like, I better stop right there. You know, it's funny about sleep after you eat it. Exactly. You know, it's funny about when you pay attention to audiences listening. This is the biggest hack to learning to make better food choices. Instead of always attaching your training and your diet to the way you look, and oh, I'm fat. Now I'm lean. Oh, I'm fat. Now I'm lean. And it's all about that. Learning to connect like how my body feels when I eat really healthy and how does my body feel when I make these other choices and being honest because so many people are not honest with themselves. There's like, yeah, it totally accepts ice cream. Oh, yeah. It totally feels good when I eat them French fries. Like you lie to yourself and you say that, but if you really pay attention to everything from your energy, your mood, your sleep that night, water retention, blow, like all that stuff. And you just connect to it. And you connect to it. You connect to it. You'll naturally, you'll naturally want it or not want it. That's right. And sooner or later, you'll get to a point and to me, this is the point that you're trying to get to in your health and fitness and nutrition journey and becoming that aware of it. Because then it makes it a lot easier. And then it also, there's times, I mean, honestly, when I'm like, fuck it, I'm going, I'm going to be hurting tonight. This is how you, 100% accept it. Yes. This is how you create balance because you're fully aware. Yeah. You're fully aware of the decisions that you're making. That's all it is. But what happens more often than not is you're at a party. You're at the park. You're doing something with your family. You see a food. And then I know, like I got four hours left of us being out. If I eat that, I just don't want to eat it. And it's not that I can't eat it. I literally don't want to. That's what makes it so balanced. Or like you said, you're like, well, I mean, I'm at my in-laws house. I can take a nap on the couch.

All right, back to the show. Dude, yesterday I did a Thai massage. Have you guys ever done like a Thai? Oh, were they like I hate Thai massage. Because they stick your knee. They stick their knee. Katrina likes Thai. Walk on your back. Bro, I got in there. Did you like it? So they... Don't fucking lie. You don't like it. You barely even like massages in the first place. Thai massage is not for you. I like the effects, okay? While it's happening, it's like, ooh, right? So I go in there. This must have been a gift. That's why you're being so nice about it right now. No, no, no, no. I've been told that I need to get more massages. I've been told. My wife's been trying to get you to get massages for years. Everybody's told me I need more massages. But a Thai massage is not the way you get with someone like you. I'll tell you that right now. You don't go to a Thai massage. What do I need? For a guy. Sports massage would be good, but even you have to be Swedish, then sports, and then maybe Thai. Thai is like... Which one's sweeter? Why don't they do this with a little Thai on there? No, no, Swedish is like, put you to sleep, rub you, like soft. So if you're not used to the hard pressure and stuff like that. I like the Swedish one. And people don't like that at first. You got to ease it. I mean it's like if you relax your mind and you fall asleep, it's not a waste. Come on, let's be honest. But yes, physically, you need more of a sports, deep tissue massage is what you need. Yeah, because I go in there and they have you fill out the form or whatever, and I put on there, like you want it like firm, very firm. I said very firm, tight. And of course they look at me so they're like, oh yeah, so they bring the heat. Bro, they send in this like... Were you sweating? Were you sweating? Bro, I had like an adrenaline response. They send in this tiny little girl comes in. She's probably 100 pounds. Yeah. And I didn't know it's still after because I couldn't see her at first. So like lay face down. So I lay face down and they hold on to a pole or whatever above you. And this fucking, this bitch dude, she is walking on me, but then she'll find a spot. Yeah, yeah. She'll put her foot on me and I can feel what she's doing. She stands up on one heel and lifts the other foot. All the pressure. She did this one where my hand was behind my back so it makes my scapula stick out. Yeah. She put her heel where my scapula is sticking out in there. And she stood it. Now here's the thing now. As a man, and I'm sure some man... You don't want to submit. You don't want to submit. You don't want to submit. You want to just keep taking it. No. What a miserable experience you're doing. The last thing I'm going to do is be like that's too hard. So I'm just sitting there like... So you're just managing the noises coming out of you right? Because... No, you're not. You have to let out. There's no way you're not. I'm just breathing. Yeah, with the ears. You know, doing one of those things. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And I'm like... Then you're tensing up more. No, so I had to be careful because I find myself tensing up and I'm like, my butt cheeks are squeezing. I got to relax those. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But she was standing in that... And I thought to myself a couple of times, I was like... Is she going to hurt me? Am I going to like get an actual injury from this? Yeah, yeah. But afterwards, I mean, I feel... I felt it. It was good. I'm not afraid. I'm not afraid of time. I'm going to go back. Really? You should probably listen to the guy who's married to this sports fucking massage therapist that's been doing it for 20-something years. Listen. Or you can go try and figure it all out on your own. You're going to learn the hard way. Then she put her high heels on you. Cha-cha-cha-cha. That's the next level. What are you talking about? They do, though. I mean, I swear that sometimes I feel like they're going in there to hurt you. Bro, she put me in... And when they see a muscly guy, they know they got to bring it. I think that they talk about it afterwards. 100% they do. Yeah, 100% they do. Hey, she did like a Boston crab on me. You know that fucking thing? Yes. What's this when they like lift your chin from the back and they're like... She pulls his legs like this? No, she feds my knees and she did something with her legs and body where my legs are hooked into hers. And then she's like moving her body forward. And I'm like, I'm going to tap out. Yeah. Yeah. Like my heels, my foot's going to touch my head. I don't know if I could do this. Yeah. I had a time to come to the house for a while and Katrina likes it, dude. And I'm like, it's annoying to end all the chopping and stuff. I'm like, I want to... No, she didn't do no chopping. Real good massage, in my opinion. Okay, this is how I fell in love with Katrina is she will ease you in almost as if you're getting a sweetest massage to kind of relax you. She knows when you relax and settle in and then she finds those spots and then doesn't go hard right out of the way. She works her way into getting hard. And then before you know it she is deep as fuck and then you just go out. When you got a good massage therapist she knows all the points. That makes sense. She knows how to ease you into relaxation. Then she knows how to go deep on you and you know it's a perfect one because you will fall asleep. You get the release and it's like all those hormones come out. Such a different feeling when they go deep and then you're just like, oh my God, because you get like a headache and if you're not hydrating enough, like it really messes you up the next day. And you have to... And you have to work up to it, right? So like if you've never done one before... I mean, I guess this makes sense. It's like working out, right? 100% like working out. I used to give massage therapists, like I tell them, like I used to give massages all the time. I haven't been in this long so you're going to have to work me in or ease into me or whatever. So I know, I mean, obviously Katrina will tell you this too. It's just like with you with training client. If they do it, the better job we do of communicating to them, the better and a good experienced massage therapist will know like if you communicate it and you say like, hey, these are my... So I know like, yeah, like, okay, my traps are my sensitive areas. I said, you got to go easy on my traps there. I'm sensitive there. You got to work into me. Like I know how to communicate my entire body to a therapist and then a really good one. Again, we'll ease you in and then if you know it because you'll go, you'll fall asleep and then when you wake up you're released. That makes sense. Oh man. She was standing on my butt cheek. She was standing on my hamstrings at one point because I'm laying face down. I, you know, I can hear, I couldn't see her. She's splitting the gap. Yeah. Oh no. That's like, if she slipped. Oh, no, she, she went around. I could hear her around and I was like, oh, she can like press on my neck. Yeah. And then I feel something getting ready to push and I'm like, oh, shit, that's a foot. So I think she was sitting away from me holding on to something and going like, like, oh, yeah. Right into my handles and bars and things. I was like, this is brutal. Here's the best part. You ready for this? There was a sign on the door. I swear to God, there was a sign on the door that they printed and it said professional massage only. No. And then quotation sexual massage. Wow. Dude's coming in there being creepy. Well, because, I mean, in the defense of the dudes, there's like every other one and rather every other one is like that now because it would happen. I mean, that's what put Katrina's business out of business was so they made up. They passed a law a while back where if you were on a temporary visa, you could legally do this massage and you could massage under the license. Right. Of somebody else. So the hustle became and this would all happen in this time that Katrina and them own their clinics and stuff. The hustle because they used to be a high-end place. 150, 200 of the massage like real high-end sports massage type stuff. And then in comes this new law they passed. So you got these people that one therapist hires 20 people on visas that are like are making they're like $10 an hour is huge money and they're charging 20 bucks an hour. And then the hustle up on that is like you get these girls that are willing to do $20 massages and other things on top of that. And so then they just put money in. No, no, I don't get it. And it put like good they put a lot of good clinics out of business like Katrina's. They just couldn't Yeah, how do you compete at that price point? Yeah. And actually they were straight up Katrina's like hey, she's like man, there's some some of these girls can actually massage pretty good for 20 bucks. You're saying like I can't argue with like they're getting you're giving you a massage for 20 bucks when ours were charging 170 like it better be light years different for 170 to 20 unless you're getting this one was expensive. This wasn't one of the places. You probably went to like a legit place. Yeah. So those places I think the law says it has to be in an open area. So you know when you pay 20 bucks and you're getting massaged and it's all one room. Yeah. There's other people. Yeah. But you know how they do that, right? I've been in one of those like they're just curtains. So it's one massive room so they can play funny. I know. So it's always to manipulate the law. So I'm still in they close curtain. You know, they do curtains in the in the big full room. So I've done them I'll try that next time. I'll try getting a soft one next time. I'll see. Well, it's not even that if you just tell them like hey ease into me before and not a tie. Tie is not for you. Like not where you're at right now. Like you would want a you do want a sports massage. That's where you get the most release. See my experience was I used to have a massage therapist and she was a brilliant at her job. And I remember the I remember one specific instance because I was always reluctant and I don't get a massage who cares whatever. And I was had tennis elbow really bad. This is when I was doing jiu jitsu and it would have to warm up and it wasn't going away. And I couldn't figure out what's going on. And she said, let me work on your forearm. She straight relieved it and for, okay, for one. So she brought in ice in the room. So she had ice, a heating pad. I sat in a chair with my arms my forearms up on the massage table for one and a half hours. All she did was work on my form. And I mean, she got in there. So it was so painful. It was one of the most painful experiences in my life. Seriously. Yeah, but afterwards that was it was gone. It was gone completely. So I now have a connection with the more it sucks, the better it is. But I think your saying is right. Oh, I mean, I've actually been asking Katrina for a while. I want her to massage all you guys. I want you guys to experience that because I was not a big massage guy before we met. So I had had my experience of all of them just kind of not really into it. I don't know your wife must have. I was. It's not. It's only weird if you make it weird. No, that's not what I mean. I don't mean like that. I don't mean like that. It could be weird. It could be weird. Adam's like, well, now Sal's out now. No, it's weird. No, it's weird because you said your wife can read your like shit from. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm not trying to get Katrina really. I mean, she will do information on your mind or whatever. Fuck. She will. They don't talk to you unless you engage and talk to them. But like, yeah, she'll do it. That's a moment. Tell Adam everything. So Justin, this is really what's going on. This is how Justin and South feel about you. I felt it in his, you know. His L5 was speaking to me. You know what I mean? Do you know? So do you all know you're we've all had enough of these now. So do you guys have areas on your, like, you know, like your shoulder, your hip, your back? Like where are your like total release points? Do you know where these are? Mid, like thoracic and kind of scapular area. Interesting. You know where yours are? Yeah. Like trap and like up into my neck and. Oh, yeah. It goes all the way up and like a lot of, a lot of it goes up into my, my head. Like I get a lot of tension headaches. So you like that move where they go like this. Oh, yeah. They reach all the way down your trap. There. I love that. Was that called traction? Yeah. Well, that and then my hip, my right hip gets a lot of tension there. That's my hip. You can get it. You can get into my hip, my piriformis, my hips, my IT, all that. Like you get into that and like it's always my right side. I always say don't touch my feet. I always say that. I hate it. I jump off the table. Yeah. It just tickles. My feet and my stomach. I don't like, because I hadn't had that before. I had Jolene. Jolene does the stomach. I'm like, don't I let you touch my foot? Yeah. It's a great massage. But the stomach, like it messed me up. Make you fart? Well, I just like, no, like it just was weird. And then like later on, I just had like a reaction with my stomach was just like, like just all out of whack. You know, that's where you whether you store emotion and the so as and all that is why I didn't like it. Yeah. You know, just leave it buried. Touch my shit. Leave that shit buried. Dark. I'm trying to get it out. Yeah. I would ask for it if I wanted it out. Leave it in there. Let's not let's not move it out to the world. He starts crying. Oh, you fuck him up. No. He's keeping it at the bottom of the world. He knows what's up, dude. I know. Hey, are you ready for this right here? What are we doing? I've got something for you guys right now. I know Andrew saw it. I sent to the YouTube. I sent to YouTube guys. What is it? Oh, shut up, bro. Space tourism. Hey, is here is fucking here. This is no longer. Let's let's. Okay, here's the deal. Virgin. This could easily afford easily afford to go. No, we said general public. Yeah, general public, bro. We don't we're not general public anymore. No, how much is it? Stop trying to determine. I know what you're doing right now. I'm going to set you up because there's robots that also clean, but then there's no robot. No brought up. Hey, robots that pick up and set things down have been around forever. And that's not. How much is it taking to go to space? Let's hear the number. So I have to. So I know when I win here. What? How many millions of dollars? Hold on a second. It can't be more show. Andrew yet. And where are they going? Are they just going, you know, like space tourism? They're in space, bro. That's all they have to do is space. Hold on a second. Did you say space or the moon? You said space, right? Maybe you said the moon. Space, bro. I told you they had. I said they have a thing that they're building. That's supposed to go around. Didn't you say going to the moon? Yep. I mean, if you go to the moon, you're going to space. Yeah. But like outside of our atmosphere. Wow. So if you're just outside of our atmosphere. I knew you guys. I knew you guys. You're a satellite. Bro, it's literally the space tourism is here for the general population. How much is that? 200 K ticket, which is not that crazy. Woo. I don't try to flex right now. 200 K is not. 200 K, that's not a problem. 200 K. Name one ticket cost you 200 grand to go anywhere in the world. I mean, first class across the country is the job. Doug's first class tickets probably fucking pretty goddamn close to that. 200 grand. Probably 40. For one. Yes, dog. Person. Yes. $40,000. Yes, bro. First class tickets around the world is not cheap. Wait a minute. Look up first class ticket from here to Tokyo and back. Yeah. It's probably like 40 grand. I think it's like 20,000 back. It's 40 grand. Oh, I think you're right. Okay. My point is that is not that far off. Okay. You're wrong, bro. It's $450,000. No. It was 200 K where I looked. What? Well, I don't know which one he pulled up. I got it. I got it. This is a Virgin Galactic site. So it's 150 grand. Maybe that's where you sell 200 K. That's the initial deposit. This is the deposit. And then the final balance after that. Plus, by the way, you don't go anywhere. You literally go up to space to come back. But they've been saying this. Stop it. Okay. So the initial tickets that were pre-sold were priced at 200 K each. Pre-sale. A special discount. Stop it, you guys. The point is it's not that. This is the very first one. So I'll tell you right now. It's going to, it'll be 50% less before your fucking robots are washing dishes in your home. Okay. What is this? And here's the deal. Well, I bet you, I bet you one of our friends does a space tour before one of our friends owns a fucking robot that's cleaning their dishes. You want to continue this bet? What was the bet, by the way? Well, I don't know. Space tourism? No, no, no. What was the, did we buy anything? I said that we'd have, we'd have some money. We just bragging right now. Yeah, it's bragging right now. Well, let's wait, let's work more money anyway. I don't even want your money. I'm saying like, what do I need your money to do? We don't want any animals, right? I'd rather talk, yeah, you have to say I'm right. This isn't, if you're waiting out where it's due for. This is definitely on, yeah, on the horizon. That's close, but I think a robot that washes your dishes is just going to be closer, especially with AI. Okay, so here's an easy way. Okay. Somebody, one of us or somebody close to us, okay, by proxy friend or whatever, okay, acquaintance, a space tour before someone owns a robot that washes dishes in the house. How much more of a clear fucking win is that? Did you, who do you know that's doing this? You can book as early as next. I don't know anybody. One to two years. But I guarantee we will. One to two years. Now what is it? Hold on, this just had a curiosity. Okay, so they announced it. This is just like when they do a demo. Yeah. Right? Live and then there's like, hey, we have this all ready to go, but it's not ready for two years. So what is it? What does it go up to space and comes back down to earth? That's it. That's a good question. That's expensive for that. Dude. And you knew that. And they're going to get a month. They're going to get what they want. You hope. And there's going to be a line of people that will pay that just to be the first people to do it. Look at this. You'll enjoy a future astronaut community membership. Okay. Now pull up Tesla's robot just for comparison. Yeah. It ain't no 400 grand. Yeah. You know what I mean? Yeah. Stop. Stop. Let me tell you, there has been robots that have been picking up boxes and doing shit like that forever. I, when we talked to a student that was in an AI class, his comment was, Yeah. He wasn't a good student. Come on, man. He's not on the, he was an insider information. He was a good student. I know more. He said that the ability, the hardest part is to read. Spot the dishes. Yeah. If the dishes are clean or not. Yeah. I'm going to do it. Huh? AI will do it. I mean, I don't disagree that at all. I just agree, believe that this would happen first. No, this is good, bros. This is close, you know. This is cool. Okay. So again, $20,000. That doesn't mean, what's your point? Under 20. What's your point? Well, we'll read about what it can do. Yeah. Just so Adam can like, they say it first. Hey, watch the robot takes you to space too. Boom. It can walk up and say happy birthday to you. It could carry your blankets to the laundry room. I mean, I had it rocky floor already. I don't understand. Like, why are we even arguing? Remember that? The robot rocky floor. Hey, Paulie. Hey, the true test will be this. Listen, if one of our friends or one of you guys gets it, you win. I mean, we might have to buy one as well. We will. Yeah. We're going on together. It just interacts with the physical world and it performs. Yeah, that's cool. The idea is to replace humans for repetitive and boring tasks, performing unsafe tasks. So it's going to have good balance, navigation, perception, interaction, physical world. Does that count? A number of all kinds of things. Well, this issue is repetitive. I mean, once we see it do it, then it could count. All right. It's there, it's the same boat here. Yeah. If we win, you got to wear a shirt that says Sal and Justin were right. If you win, I'll wear a shirt that says Adam was right. Yeah. Adam was right. Or we can, we can buy each other. I'll buy you a ticket on the fucking flight over to. That's too crazy. Don't you spend money like that? It's frivolous. What are you going to see, dude? It's not going to hurt. It's actually round. It's not going to be 200K. It's like, it's not going to be 200K for after a year. I don't get the appeal, dude. Being out, it won't even be 200K. We should know that. They're going up there. Yeah. They're going to vomit. I mean, they're not even going to be Russell would be an idiot to sell it for the whatever, like 200 right now when everybody's willing to pay 400 pay, charge the top dollar until it's like happening all the time. You know what? You just mentioned something. What are this? What are the flat earthers going to do? Oh, they're going to blow their minds. Explode. Hey, they're the first ones paying 400K. They don't have that kind of money. They're not that smart. They're going to be like, oh, it's all fake up here. Yeah. CGI in the windows. This guy's a good guy. No, no, it's not. That's not the same. It's rich because he plays. I was there's a bunch of other rich people. Stupid shit. Exactly. I mean, you're smart. You're rich. Yeah. Anyway, I don't know dude. I had so many deals as like, bro, I'll bring it up and don't worry. These guys are going to find a way to fucking back. I don't. Yeah. Space tourism. Here. It's an announcement. That's cool. At least nothing really. This clear. this clear. So we don't have to keep bringing this up every single time a robot that does dishes in anybody, either of our houses or any of our friends' houses or one of our adding to this has to be a friend of ours acquaintance. Okay. Can't be a fucking article of some random street. Somebody we kind of know, not like a friend. Yeah. Okay. Or someone will do a space tour. I, why do you change the bet? The bet was widely available because you already lost the other bet. There's already a space tour happening. It's already happening. So you lost that one. That's not widely available. It's widely available. If you have 200K, you could do it. Plenty of people have 200K. We've got two years still. That's, that's, that's what I said. All right. Fine. Okay. One of somebody we know either flies on. Bro, how many people drive 200K cars around? Yeah. Okay. There's people that can find a way to get a ticket to do space tours. That's not that outrageous. If it was a million dollars, and I'd tell you guys, like, okay, that's out of reach for most people, but a 200K ticket is not out of reach. It's expensive. Yeah. You know, so it's first class, but hell of people fly first class every day. What's that flight going to be like? So do they just, is it, it's not, obviously it's not going straight up. It's just flying higher and higher until you're out of the atmosphere. It's not what I'm going. I couldn't find exactly what is happening, but I do see that the first one is scheduled for the end of this month. Yeah. It's going to be like literally just outside of the atmosphere. It's right above it. So just so you guys are clear, into this month, you lose. Okay. You lose. Because by the end of the, unless your dishes get washed, but in the next 30 days, you lose the bet. So I'm trying to extend the bet for you that, hey, when will one of us have a friend that has the first flight goes out? Yeah. Yeah. Wow. Wow. Okay. That's cool. Get your t-shirts. Get your t-shirts. Since we're talking about, since we're talking about stupid stuff. Hey, listen to what, it's not stupid. That's cool. It's so dumb. So listen to what Kim Jong-un just did. Oh God, what do you do now? He's, this is, this is, what's his latest record? When you're like, does he have all the Guinness world records? Dude, he has to listen to what he just did. Ready for this? He just, he just, uh, so many people in North Korea are committing suicide. Okay. Cause there's, there's, now why are they committing suicide? No food. It's great. Whatever. So he has now, he's ordered them to stop killing themselves by punishment. Order you of execution. Really? I want to kill you. If you try to kill yourself, I'll kill you. That's the, that's literally what it is. That's a real, that's a real thing. Yeah. Oh, that's hilarious. Yeah. Cause it's called like either counting it as leadership. It's an act. It's an act of treason against socialism. It's like one of those, you know, like the, the eagle, the eagle. Yeah. A poster, a poster, like one of those posters. Yeah. If you try to kill yourself, I will murder you. I will kill you if you try. He literally said that. So wait, he's gonna make a meme like that. That's so crazy. You remember those? Remember when those were really popular? Those poster ones? Yeah. Just a posters that would have like an eagle on it and say like leadership and it had like a hang in there. Yeah. The cat, the cat hanging from the tree. Yeah. Hey, so bring those back. So check this out, right? So this is interesting. A little bit of a, of a left turn here, but I've been kind of speculating on something and I'm noticing some stuff in kind of mainstream information and what's getting popular. And it seems to be surfacing more and more. And now I'm looking at data that's kind of supporting what, you know, I was kind of suspecting and I think a lot of people have been speculating on this and then I've listened to some podcast by some spiritual leaders who are kind of commenting on this. So a while ago, I don't know if I said this on the show, but a while ago, I think I talked to you guys and I said, it seems like religion and structure and that kind of stuff seems to be making a comeback, especially with younger men. It seems to be making comeback. You've been saying that for a while. I have. It's happening. Are you sure? Or are you just red pill? No, no, like all the content. No, no, no, no, it's happening. It's happening and it's not like young men are not going to like the local Christian church that plays music. And you think they're going to the more structured versions like Latin mass, Orthodox Christianity, like the more structured. So I love your speculation. Yeah, I do have some theories on that. And the irony of it is that, and you've actually said this before in the podcast is that it's, and this is in our nature to as young men as a teenager to rebel against the norm. And the norm has become so radical on the left and anti God and all that shit so much that now the most, you know, rebellious thing you could do is go to a very strict church. So I actually think that's what we're seeing is like a rebellious side to this movement, which is kind of ironic that it's leading to people to God. Yeah, I think too, it's just like the perception of our world. It looks so chaotic because of all the different media feeds that we see and like what kind of like narratives they're trying to push for all kinds of different directions. And it's like, you know, like people just I think there's this this drive to just like make sense in order of things. And so to go into something that's a little more, you know, even more structured than they've experienced before. You literally hit the nail on the head in a world that seems completely devoid of structure and discipline where you can get anything anytime everything's relative. Like you can make an argument for your people decision, especially young men, especially young men crave more structure and discipline. So I listened to a podcast with Bishop Barron and they're talking about this data and he says, one of the mistakes that the church did is they reformed themselves to make themselves easier. And he goes, young men don't want easy. They want hard, they want structure. And he goes and it actually bit us in the ass and people started leaving. And so now they're coming back, but they're going to these more orthodox forms. And it makes sense. If again, if you look at the world, there's no structure around anything. You do what you want. You get what you want. And a lot of people feel sad, discontent. They feel like they're just kind of floating in the wind. And so they want that. They're looking for structure. So things like stoicism have exploded. They talked about on this podcast, these hardcore discipline fitness influencers who are exploding as leaders. Like, what are they saying? Like, work out every morning. Eat like they like disciplines. Yes. So it's this interesting movement that's starting to happen where people are craving because everybody feels this anxious. Like, what the hell? I need some structure. I need some discipline. I need something to help order things. And it's these more orthodox. I think we're all just seeing a rise in that, in that side of things to finally speaking out because it's gotten so extreme too. So I think that a lot of this was already kind of happening under the surface a little bit anyways. But I think that group tends to be this kind of silent majority a lot of the times. And I think that there's more and more people that are this is like that are finally going like, OK, this is getting too ridiculous or this is now starting to creep into my life. I mean, I find that I identify with this group of people. I don't feel like I really have a dog on this fight that much. But then once this starts bleeding into where it starts to affect my kid at school and it's changed that shit, like, OK, now we have a problem. Like, now you're going to get my attention. Now I'm going to be more vocal about it only because it's fucking with me because I really don't give a shit what everybody else does. If you got what to each their own and how they want to live their life, just don't hurt me. Don't see exactly. Don't just don't don't impede in my life. You know, that's all I care about. And so now that you there, it's starting to encroach on, I think, mothers and fathers and people that now I feel like they're having. So I think that's kind of what a combination of everything you're talking about is what we're well, that's part of it. The other part of his young men are dating less. They're pursuing less risky challenges. People think that's a good thing, but it's actually a part of our nature, like the less risky challenge like going out and talking to girls versus going online and watching porn or whatever, playing video games, which simulate challenge, but it's not real challenge like in the real world. So young men are doing these things and they're fucking sad and they're depressed and they need challenge and meaning, especially young men need to feel like they're going towards something. That's why they're a track. This is why really dysfunctional young men can often be radicalized in particular areas of prime targets. So it kind of provides some of that, some of that structure. You need an outlet. Yeah, they're like, oh, my God, this feels right. Like I feel like I have a purpose. I have some meaning and these are age old practices. It's really interesting to watch kind of what's going on right now. It's really interesting. You also, I mean, we kind of off air. We've we've joked about this, like, and I don't know where I feel and where I stand exactly on this is there's a huge movement right now, especially in the fitness base to, you know, attract, you know, beta men and help them become more alpha. Yeah. And so there's a lot of these, like, it feels a bit exploitive, doesn't it? It does. That's why I get so it's like because I because I feel called to help that group of men also, you know, like, I feel like I never anticipated this podcast or this what we've done to kind of morph into that. Like, of course, it was about sharing our fitness knowledge and helping people become healthier, fitter people along that way. I've felt like we've had this movement of, you know, fatherhood, being leaders for other young men that are growing up. And so I feel passionately drawn in that direction as maybe some of these other people do. But I feel like it's exploiting it to to try and monetize it by having these groups where, you know, like, you know, bring your son and your father and let's do this boot camp thing. And let me fucking make you get up at four o'clock in the morning, spray water on your face and run in mud and like, now you're an alpha. You know, like, I don't know. It's I don't want to be, I don't want to come off either. By the way, if I'm offending somebody who's done that and I'm not trying to be judgy about it, I'm not sure if that it's like it sits with me kind of like the mastermind stuff. That's, you know what I'm saying? And I know some people maybe have. Well, when you see a mastermind and had lots of success, when you see a market and you see a market demand, then there's always going to be people are going to come in and they're going to try to take advantage. And that's what I think a lot of that is is. So what? Okay. So what I'm trying to get a read on, that's why I'm trying to articulate right now is like, is it take advantage or is it serving a need? Right. That's what I avoid there. The verdict is not out for me. Here's what I think. I think the, uh, the ancients understood human behavior way better than we do. We know science, we understand the material world, but human behavior, they understand, they understood very, very well. I think if you're going to go and try to become more quote unquote manly, then you would want to go somewhere where they're practicing these things that have been done for thousands of years that have, that are tried and true. What you don't want to do is go to some modern, become a guy, become a man. What does that look like? Here's how you pick up on chicks, you know, go do something hard. And that's, that's the, you know, all we got to do. And I don't know. I feel like the, the playbook is out there. I don't think it's as easy as going on a weekend. I think people who talk about it the right way, like Jordan Peterson's does a very good job. And what does he do? He breaks down this wisdom and he explains it in ways that are understandable, but the wisdom is out there. There's nothing new. It's not new. It's all stuff that we've, have you guys seen the data, by the way, on fathers and versus mothers who practice spiritual practice and what it does with the kids? Oh yeah. The likelihood that if a father practices the likelihood of the child is like crazy exponentially higher. Yeah. Like 80 to 10 or something crazy like that. I thought I saw it. Is it that is something like that, right? Yeah. So it's the fathers have the biggest influence over the kids and what they practice versus I mean, I think that's just if you're the leader of the house in that sense, right? I mean, that's kind of what, what it ends up being. Interesting. It's interesting. Anyway, so, so this is kind of crazy. I just read this the other day. Remember how we talked about that 14 year old that got a job at? Or was it SpaceX? Yeah. He graduated. Yeah. Yeah. We speculated on the first half year. So somebody just tested with the highest IQ ever, ever beating Einstein and Stephen Hawking. What? Yeah. What? An 11 year old. What? Just tested with the high. It's a girl. It's an Iranian Iranian girl. She just scored the highest IQ ever. Wow. 162 points. That's two points ahead of Einstein. At 11 years old. Yeah. So this is the men's IQ test. Um, so it's done within a specific time. Have you ever done any of these before? I've never done any of these before. I did an IQ test a while ago. I don't remember what. Oh, it was our buddy Chris who was talking about like some of these, like is it one of those tests that are, it's based more on logic than it is like stuff that you would have to study or learn in school? Isn't that what I think so? Which makes sense why an 11 year old could do it. Cause if you didn't study, you know, trick. Yeah, I never took an IQ test. I don't know what that entails. Yeah. I think it has to do, it's, it's your student, the person's ability to understand the meanings of. I'm afraid to say what? I'm afraid to tell me I'm dumb. Why would it be horrible? Who cares? You don't even know what I mean. Motivate me. You are who you are, you know, doesn't mean anything. And you don't, okay. So let's just play this out in your head a little bit here. Like if you do it and it comes back, yeah, if you took it and disabled, so do you know that I'm trying to get Katrina to do it at ancestry.com. I tell you guys this yet. You are? Yeah. And she won't do it. She refuses to do it because she's afraid. She's afraid of what? Cause she, I mean, her and I both kind of have, you know, me, she would think that I have a little bit of a rough, uh, rougher upbringing than she did, but she didn't have an easy rough upbringing herself either. Like, so when she free, if she can see a bunch of people that she's related to, yeah, or she thinks that maybe she has a different dad. Oh yeah. So there's like, so she like refuses. What if you guys are third cousins? Stop. We're so similar. Oh, I tell you when I was in Iceland, that was a thing. I know. They actually had to test. They have to have like an app that everybody signs up for, yeah, because it's like it's too close proximity. Like everybody's lived there and it's like inevitably like a cousin of yours or whatever you don't know, uh, you might interact with and end up dating. So we got into it about it because I, I'm like, she's like, I don't care. I don't want to know. I'm like, I don't either. It's for my son. It's like for our family tree going forward. I'm like, I want to be able to, you know, she could put a fake name in it so that it won't alert anybody to her if she's afraid of people following, uh, finding her. Yeah. But then there's the whole idea is to find the, the lineage. You'll still find it. I don't want to do it because I don't want the, the one doctor to be my dad. You know what I mean? Oh, the guy in like Mishkin or whatever. Yeah, I mean, I told her, listen, honey. I said, I've, I'm rolling the dice the same way you are. We might find out I have a different dad, different every, like, I have no idea. I don't think it tells you if your dad, I don't think it'll tell you unless your dad has also done the test. It's just, it's not going to connect to heritage, right? Well, yeah, but I mean, if your real dad connected, did the test and it might connect you or if like, it leaps like, uh, you know, you see you're connected to a different dad's dad. So all it has to be, I mean, you can easily point you in a different like, wait a second, I don't know. This guy was related to me. How's that possible? Right. So, I mean, that's what she's just worried about. And I'm like, I don't care for my son. I want to, I want to be able to tell them. I tell her, we're generational characters. That's who we are in our family. Like we're changing the family tree. So I want it for, or not for me. I want it for my son and our son's son and their son. Like it would be, it would be interesting. I am curious about it. I thought about doing that, but it's just like, I don't know. Like, what are you going to do? Like, you're not going to get all the specific medical information which I think would be better. No, so you could do it. So that's what we did. And you can actually get that. Yeah. Can you? Yes. So, so Ancestry.com does this. We were looking at Nathaniel's. So Larry's son did his and it's already fascinating enough to know like where he's 30% this, but, but then it tells you like the percentage of like, yeah, of all the different heart conditions, genetic diseases that we're worried about. Okay. So that was what made me really go like, man, it's worth it for those things. Yeah. So you can also take another step further. You could take the data and, and bring it to a company that specifically does that. That's what we did. So the reason why we did it is because my son, you know, he's getting these, like he gets these random skin issues of trying to figure out what's going on. And so we want to see if he had the, I think it's called the MTHFR gene. Maybe maybe Andrew can look this up. MTFRH. Doug Jr. I don't remember what it was, but, but this, this particular, uh, I guess gene marker means that you potentially could get rid of, uh, toxins slower than the average person. So you could have buildups of things like, um, mold faster or other toxins. So you have to like be careful of your liver and there's a whole another, like it's basically something to take consideration. Well, Jess and I both have it, which means for sure my son has it. Now I seem to get rid of shit faster than Jessica. So it's not a guarantee, but it's interesting. So it would mean you get rid of caffeine slower. It means you, you know, you have to be careful with certain chemicals. I don't know what it's called MTHR. Yeah, you're right. MTHR for pretty much decreased ability to detoxify. Yeah. So lame that you can remember stuff like that. Well, it's very specifically guided though. I can't remember anything. Laser. A lot of things I'm envious of or jealous of. That makes me so bad. Medical fitness. It gives you such a leg up. Yeah. It's such a leg up. Bro, it's not, that's why other stuff in your life is supposed to be hard, bro. Cause you get that huge advantage. It's, it's not like it comes without a cost. You know what I'm saying? I don't feel sorry for you. Heavy. Rock on my back. Oh, so here it is. Look at this. See, I'm connected to so many different health conditions. Hashimoto's, hypothyroidism, blood clots, infertility, Alzheimer's, depression. Okay. But here's the deal. Okay. So, so here, trip off this. This is how, uh, I mean, this is so serendipitous. So you may, what this means is that your body has trouble methylating. The methylation process is important for detoxification. And other processes in the body. So if you have this gene, then you want to supplement with things that are what are called methyl donors or help your body methylate. You know what, one of the best, you guys remember Dr. Seed, the best thing you could take possible. If you have an issue with methylation, it's creating another great benefit. I'm ready for this. I've been supplementing with creatine every day since I was 16 every day. I almost never take it down. Yeah. See, even realize you're doing yourself. Yeah. And this may be why I don't suffer for some of the other stuff that other people with this, because I've always been taking creatine. Wow. Crazy, right? Yeah, that is crazy. All because I was insecure about my body. It served me so well. So sad. You know, the torture and all the other stuff. I did it right. Something right, dude. My skin conditions. Gosh, speaking of skin, Adam, uh, how, uh, so you use Caldera Labs products more than we do. I just use it. Religiously. He just used the oil. You use all their stuff. So actually, you know what I, I finally started using the eye cream right now. So I'm using the eye cream. I know I wasn't doing it. So I have like the eye cream. The only thing that I do, what do I, I don't use. No, I use, I feel like there's a product that I'm not. Okay. How does the eye cream, you just put it on before you go back? Yeah. I just put it, no underneath my, you know, it's where I'm bad soap too. Right. The soap bar soap is the best bar soap I've ever started using. So I'm like, is it foam up? Like you said, yeah, like thick. Like it's just, yeah, it's like a foamy layer. Wow. You barely, you know, like some soap, you're like, there's like scrub and then you get like a little bit of a lather. Like you just, one time it's like lather. Wow. Foamed. Yeah. It's like a, it's like a nitro. Yeah. Is it like those kind of bubbles? I mean, and hey, I'm like, my son was showering with me after we were outside playing. So that's what we just do. It's so nice that like, you know, trying to, uh, wash a young toddler with a bar of soap. What do you want to get like a split second? Yes, dude. It's so hard. But with that, so rad, I lather up and then it's all over. And it's like, I mean, I could actually get. I try to catch it when you catch a grease pig. Like, you're trying to get a hold of your kid when they're wet. You know what I'm saying? Those are like weird things you would not think of until you're a dad and you're in that situation. It's like, just every dad can think of that right now. Yeah. Remember we're trying to lather your son up with a bar of soap. Like, it's like, it's like, nearly impossible to do that. So you use the soap, the eye cream, the oil, the eye cream. I just started the serum. And then I always forget the name of the, what's the, the regular topical, this one, the cream that I like the most, which I use. Really? Yeah. But I use every day. Really? Every, every single day I use it when I get out of the shower. And then sometimes at night. Do you put it anywhere else or just your face and head? Oh, I put it on my psoriasis. So I like, you'll see, every once in a while, I don't, you kind of see me before, while you're talking, you'll like, if I'm itching my psoriasis. I see. I'll, what is it, the oil that you put it on? Just the serum. And the serum, like, it totally keeps it from, so part of what makes psoriasis a pain in the ass is it gets dry and itchy. And so most of the creams that they give you have are like a steroid, petroleum oil type of like mixture that you put on there. And so this is an all natural version of keeping my, my skin moisturized or like moisture or whatever. So when it gets dry and itchy like that, I'll just reach over, I'll put a drop on it and then, and then it actually cleans it up better than even the stupid psoriasis creams and oils that they make for. You know the steroids, the steroids that people use on their skin? Oh yeah, I do. I use everything. It's the base layer. That's what it's called. So, you know what's what, I don't remember, I was going to go. Anyway. Yes. It happened. You guys got distracted thinking about beautiful skin. It happened. Yeah. So you use it too though, don't you? Oh, that's not as religious as I say the steroid creams. When people use steroid creams on things like psoriasis or eczema and it controls it over time, they need stronger and more it adapts. And then when you go off of them, have you seen what happens? Yeah, it gets way worse. You get a down through it. What do you mean? You get a rebound. So I saw, I know somebody. I don't want to say who they were. I know somebody who it stopped working. So she's like, I'm just going to stop taking the stuff and then let my body adapt for, it was like a 30 day process. And she took pictures. I felt so bad. Her skin, it came out. Oh my God. So it looked like she was, she looked like she had poison. I went through the, I did the steroid shots for a while because they were so effective. They convinced me like years ago to try the steroid shot and it was actually was like magical. I took the shot and every day for like the next five days my psoriasis shrunk, shrunk, shrunk and almost, almost looked like it went away. Wow. And I was like, whoa. But then over, you know, about three, three months or so it would start to come back again. And then I did the steroid shot again. And then I realized like, oh my God, I'm just, it's a, it was still getting worse. I'm like, I better stop this. And so I stopped it. And then now it's like worse than it's ever been. And that was years ago when, when that was going on. But yeah, I mean it works. It reminds me of like, you know, cortisone shots. Yeah. It worked. Like it's so, like you get hooked on it because it works like instantly and like, oh shit, this is how it works. So then you realize, oh, your body figures, figures it out. She went off everything and her skin just lit up and she had to wait and go through this whole 30 day or something process of her skin. She's like, couldn't move everything itched. Oh, it was terrible. It was terrible to see these pictures. So yeah, no, I'm, I'm, I actually, what I, the last thing that I need to do is cause even Caldera is amazing. It is for my psoriasis or that it's still a band-aid for what like the root cause root cause has got to be something related to my gut. I still got to get the stool thing with cabral and go through that process and try and eliminate. I've never done like a carnivore straight water diet to like eliminate the nothing. And I've been toying around with maybe potentially the first time I go to him and see if he can tell me specific things. And if not, then I need to go on a run for like, just see what happens. Yeah. I just needed worst case scenario. You go back, you know, yeah. No, totally a shout out today. So I got, um, JP Sears, I think that, uh, it's been a long time since we brought him up and you know, that guy's content is just so good, man. He's such as a smart, funny dude. And I just, I think the other day he had some clip that I was laughing about and I hadn't checked to see how like, dude, he's grown to almost a million followers. He's great. He's amazing. Yeah, you guys know he's a check. He's a, he's a check. Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, no, very, very. People know us about JP. He's a really good fitness guy. Yeah. Like really good. You know, he's really smart. Yes. Yeah. I think that's what makes his content so good and funny is because he has a very intelligent way of approaching like really tough conversations. He's always like, very, very good. Oh, his, his handle is, uh, awakened with JP. Is that right? Yep. Yeah. Hey, look, if you had a high protein diet, you might benefit from taking the right kind of digestive enzymes to help break down the protein into amino acids.

But again, you get a free bottle of digestive enzymes. All you got to do is pay shipping. All right, back to the show. First question is from losing Katie. Why am I so sour sometimes and not others, even with a comparable workout? Yeah, this, this is a mystery. Okay, we know there's certain things connected to soreness. So if you haven't done an exercise for a while, that will increase soreness. If you haven't exercised at all, that'll increase soreness. Novel stimulus. Lack of sleep, you know, having your fatty acid profile be off. So it's more pro inflammatory. Some exercises tend to cause more soreness. These are the ones that tend to load you in a stretched position. For example, you're more likely to have sore ham strings from, let's say a stiff-legged deadlift than you would be from leg curls. So it's, it's hard to say, but one thing is for sure that soreness does not indicate you, that you had a successful workout. It can tell you did too much, like you went too hard. If you really soren your sore for longer than a day or two, you're probably overdid it. But there's a lot of mystery around soreness. We, we still don't quite understand why or what or what's happening in the body. I mean, everything you're saying, spot on and true. And then to add to that, I would like to know what a comparable workout is, because if it's not the exact same workout, all it takes is one novel stimulus to be in your, in your program and you're going to get sore as hell. So you may think because you do barbell back squats, every single workout that you train and you, and then this, this series of movements afterwards that are, and then today you did lunges, you did lunges or Bulgarian split squats or even front squats, which are really similar, but not similar enough that that little bit of a change of stimulus is enough to make the body feel really sore if it's a movement that you haven't been practicing consistently. So not that everything you didn't say, like it could be that, like if you did it. So if she said, I do the exact same workout every single, every day. And then for some reason, sometimes I'm sore, sometimes I'm not. That would, I think, allude more to the direction that you were going with. Cause even then, I mean, I've, I've noticed that too, with people going and extending their range of motion, which they didn't realize. And it's just like, it's just a natural thing, you get more comfortable with that specific exercise and maybe you're just performing it with more depth this time or like you're doing it at a different pace or, you know, there's just certain like variables and characteristics that can contribute towards that. Yeah, we do know that like the negative portion of rep tends to cause more soreness loading in a stretch position tends to cause more soreness. For example, you're more likely to get sore from a heavy chest fly with dumbbells and you would from cables because flies, you tend to load heavier on the stretch. But yeah, it's, it's, it doesn't tell you, it tells you if you did too much, but I could make myself sore right now with the same intensity, but just by changing the exercises and some exercises, like I said, are more likely to make you sore. It's, it's pretty rare that I'd get sore from, let's say, a lateral side lateral, like a beat the shit out of my shoulder side lateral. But if I did like an overhead press, I'm more likely to get sore. So, but it doesn't tell you a lot. And I hate giving answers like that, but it's just true. Well, and there's degrees of it too. Right. Like you said, like you really know when you over did it when it's like it's hard to even move and function the next day versus like when you're just, you feel like a tightness and you feel like a little bit of a restriction. You know, it's like, OK, that's probably a decent spot. I get way less sore from heavy weight and really low reps than I do from my reps. Period. End of story. All things being equal, right? If it's novel, that's different. But let's say consistently working out one way or the other. If I'm doing 12 to 14 reps, I'm way more likely to get sore than if I'm doing sets of like three reps. I almost never get sore from the low reps. But I can feel it. I can feel that I worked out. It feels a little different. Does that mean one's more effective than the other? No. I mean, the key word in this to me is comparable. The fact that they use comparable and not exactly the same, because if it was exactly the same, then I'm troubleshooting like you are. But if you say comparable to me, I'd be like, well, comparable in what sense you follow the same sets and reps or you follow the exact same exercises because changing either one of those could easily make the difference of you being sore. If you always train in the eight to 10 rep range, all of a sudden you go three to five in that workout. But same exercises like you're probably going to get sore. And same thing goes, if you always train the tempo, you're going to change the tempo. Yeah. So I mean, comparable to what is what I would want to know to like really be able to give you a more specific answer. All right. Next question is from Green Fitness. I have some kind of massive imbalance in my hips. In the past, I've hurt my back and right hip several times. And no matter how I train, it's like it always comes back. Now I stretch a pretty good amount and I always warm up. I can still handle load, but it constantly holds me back, especially on my deadlifts. This is a classic classic example of a left to right imbalance. The script. Okay. There's there's an asymmetry going on here. Now here's what happens. You train a particular way for so long, both feet on the ground. So bilateral type training, barbell extra. So even dumbbells, but both arms and legs at the same time. You do this for so long, your body has an imbalance and it just strengthens along with that imbalance to the point where that imbalance then gets in the way. And then you'll find that once you go past a certain weight or intensity. Ow, I hurt myself. You could warm up all you want. You could stretch all you want. That strength and balance is the issue. It's not necessarily a flexibility and balance, although that's part of it. It's not necessarily an imbalance in any other way other than strength. If there's a strength and balance and it's big enough, then you're going to have what are called repeating injuries. And that's exactly what this person said. I keep hitting. So if you're listening to this right now and there's like one thing that always pops up once you get to a certain point, one of the best things you could do is an entire training cycle of unilateral training, real unilateral map symmetry, map symmetry would literally for this person right here, if they followed map symmetry one to two times, they would probably solve this issue. It would probably be the solution. I would I would I would add to to and this is ever since the, you know, our great experience almost eight years ago now with Dr. Brink. Look to the feet. It's just not something that because you're talking about your hips and your low back. And so rarely do people think that it's it's stemming from the foot yet more often than not it is. So even though this is in your hip and low back, you're probably looking from the knees up, but many times there's and it doesn't take much because as it goes up just like the the analogy that Sally says of your like barely off a degree and then you go miles out. That's a huge gap in between. I think the same thing with a little bit of discrepancy on your right foot. So if it just slightly pronates by the time it gets all the way up to your hip and your low back, there's a big difference. So that pay attention to that if there is a discrepancy from left to right. And normally the most common ones are the feet will externally rotate more on one side or the ankle will roll and pronate in. And then that will cause the caving in the internal rotation of the femur, which then you get that asymmetrical shift that you're talking about. And it's all coming from, you know, foot strength, which is normally to just overall foot strength and ankle mobility that's limiting you and just end again. The symmetry. And then if you have the ability to do symmetry barefoot and work barefoot like I would I would recommend doing that to 100%. I mean, that's such an overlooked aspect of everything we're doing, especially like up the kinetic chain, how massively that affects all the rest of the joints. And, you know, the that sort of triangle of pressure, right? If you can just refocus and slow down and just kind of pay attention to that, like even in your stance, your walking patterns, that's like that heal the ball of your big foot and then the right. So like your big toe pressure, your pinky toe and then like where the tongue of your shoe is, right? Like having that whole forefoot sort of, you know, contacting at the same time and like just trying to keep focused on that because you'll you'll notice any kind of deviation from there and see what's happening. But to even like they said that they stretch and so what kind of stretches are you doing? I want to know like what if this is a static stretch or you're actually doing mobility drills and doing things where priming. You know, we're actually like strengthening and we're trying to intensify that with muscle tension. So your body feels like it has strength and control and stability there, not necessarily just trying to relax and get range of motion. And you could also do this. So this might be what's happening. Oh, this stretch feels good. So I'm going to do this stretch. Well, yeah, you could alleviate the initial tension and issue, but you're not solving the root cause. By the way, this is an this is an experiment that someone can run that would illustrate what we're talking about. You could take a like an insert and put it in one shoe and that'll literally lift your foot up by not even a quarter of an inch, like a quarter of an inch of an insert. So put like one of those Dr. Scholl's foot things in one foot and then walk around all day and tell me you don't notice a change in your low back. You'll start to feel you might even feel tension up in your shoulder and it's all coming from this like quarter inch rise in your foot that might all might almost be imperceptible. So this this is how it happens. So over the years of strengthening your body with this, you know, quote, unquote, small imbalance becomes bigger and bigger and bigger. So literally if you're listening to this, follow map symmetry like one or two times in a row and you'll probably solve this issue. Next question is from the ordinary yogi. When doing dips, how do you adjust body position to focus on chest or triceps? All right. So layman's terms or generally speaking, being more upright will hit the triceps more leaning forward will hit the chest more. But you want to really think about what they both do, right? The tricep extends the elbow. So the more elbow flexion and extension in the dips, the more tricep I get. The pack takes the humerus, the upper arm and brings it towards the center of the body. So the more my elbows come out and then come together, the more I'm going to get chest. So think of that as well because I can actually be upright and still make it more chest and I can lean forward and still make it more tricep based off of elbow and, you know, the elbow positioning in essence. So kind of I want to understand that. By the way, that helps you with any exercise. Any exercise you do, if you just look up muscle action on the internet and kind of picture it while you're doing the exercise, you're usually able to connect a little better to what you're trying to feel. Yeah. So if you're going dips, chest, chest is upright and straight as possible. Elbows in tight if for triceps. Yeah. If you're going chest, elbows flared, lean forward so you get more. I mean, what you're explaining, I think, is easy for us because that's what, you know, we're in the business of teaching people how to you to understand the mechanics. I think of a muscle is challenging for the average person. And so that's just an easy rule when you're doing dips. If you want chest, the elbows are flared and you're leaning forward. If you want it, triceps, you're more upright. Elbows tucked in underrated exercise, by the way, phenomenally effective at developing all the pushing muscles, the front delts, the chest and the triceps. Oh, I'll add one more if you're having trouble too with that. Like so if I really wanted to keep it out of my chest, I would shorten the range up a tiny bit. Yeah. So the deeper you go, the more chest and shoulders you're going to get involved. So if you're, which is a great thing, not a bad thing, but if I'm like, today's arm day and I don't want to hit any chest or shoulders with that, I'm going to actually not only stay upright. Yeah, I'm going to stop at 90 degrees. I'm going to get down to 90 degrees, even though I could go probably another six inches deeper. I'm going to keep it in tight and stop. Focus on extending the elbow. I'm going to stop that, that movement with the triceps, get a little bit of an isometric pause and go back up and then you'll really feel it in your triceps. Last question is from doodoo. What is your opinion on drop sets versus straight sets? OK, so a drop set is when you will use a, let's say we use curls as an example. So I do curls with, let's say, 35 pound dumbbells. I do, let's say 10 reps and now it gets real hard. Maybe I could do one or two more, but I stop. Then I grab 30 pound dumbbells or 25 pound dumbbells. I do as many as I can and then I got to stop and I'll grab a 20 pound or 15 pound dumbbells. So a drop set, also known as a strip set, is when you do X amount of reps with a weight and immediately switch to a lighter weight to be able to squeeze out more reps. And usually there's anywhere between two to five steps. You mean you could do what's called run the rack, which is a drop set where you're going from. You're going five pounds down and you're doing like six steps or whatever. It's a high intensity technique. It's a technique that's got value if used sparingly. Do not use these all time. Use them rarely. And then it's got some value. Straight sets is where your set should be 95% of time. And a straight set is you do your reps and you rest. And then you do your reps and then you rest. You rest between one to three minutes. That's 95% of your workout should be straight sets. The problem is a lot of people learn about these intensity type amplifiers, these drop sets and forced reps and negatives and all stuff. And when you do them the first time, they feel amazing. You got a crazy pump and it's like, oh my gosh, it's amazing. Then they do them all the time. This is a fast track towards overtraining. Fast track towards halting your progress. So that was going to be the point that I made, which is these are all great tools. Cluster sets, drop sets, pyramid sets, super sets, giant sets like and they're all different than your traditional straight sets. Straight sets I think should be a bulk of your training and your workout regimen. And then occasionally you use these tools like all the ones I just listed to intermittently interrupt your normal training. But what happens to Sal's point again, I'm just going to piggyback off of it is people do something like this and I and by the way, this is not only understanding the science and speaking from that angle, but also the experience of doing this wrong for so many years myself is you do that and you're like, oh, oh, oh, my arms blew up or oh, my God, that work. That was the best chestwork I have forever. And then all of a sudden you marry that and you become that person who does that all the time. So just be aware of that. It's a great way. Now, how do I? How do I intermittently do this today? The things that like I think are faster like intensity they're intense because the rest periods are short from when you talk about clusters and drop sets, things like that where you go boom, boom, boom, boom with no rest. So I like to use it when I'm in a time crunch. It's like I think that's the most valuable. I do too. I think it's like so I know I shouldn't do it all the time. I know it's a valuable tool to interrupt my workouts once a month or or sometimes once every two or three months. There's a workout where I'm like, oh, shit. I've only got 20 minutes today and I really wanted to get a good workout. Oh, you know what? I haven't done cluster sets or drop sets for I'm drop set and shit today and that and then now I not only do I have this novel stimulus because I don't do it that often but I also save time and get a full great workout in. Yeah, you know what? You know, it's a rule of thumb with these is count all those as sets if you're trying to figure out your volume. In other words, a mistake I used to make was I would count one drop set because it was one set because it was all one set, right? But reality if I drop down four times, four sets. Yes. So if I'm replacing straight sets with drop sets every time I drop, that's all a set. So if I do four drops, that's four sets towards my shoulder workout. Which is why it's an incredible time saver. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? You can literally take your basic straight set workout that takes you an hour and decide, hey, today I'm in a time crunch. I haven't done this in a long time and you make everything a drop set and you're gonna be done in half the time. I'm gonna drop straight cluster strip it. Yeah, it's a magic mic workout. Wow. Justin, did you ever do... Do you even know what any of these are? I'm just listening. I'm like, you guys are reminding me. Like I've done all of them, but I don't remember the names. There's no real athletic... They're all sexy. Like why are they all these sexy names? Because you know what? They make, so they do well for studies, right? So if someone, you put somebody in a six week study and show them used cluster sets, they're gonna see all this off the charts like response because of the intensity, right? And it's unique and different, makes good for magazine, clip out, article stuff. That's why. Okay. But for athletic purposes, I can't, I mean, aside from maybe strength stamina, you might give someone like isolated strength stamina and a particular muscle, but I think for sports, you'd see more valuable, more value for maybe combining two or three exercises, not doing the same exercise, maybe a compound lift, like a squat. But really what are you gonna get? You're gonna get stamina out of it. It's more of a hypertrophy-based tool. It's a bodybuilding tool. Yeah, it's more of a bodybuilding tool than it is a sports performance tool, for sure.
