The first one, this person wants to know the benefit of the barbell push press and are there other momentum based exercises for other body parts that are great? Next question. This person wants to know how sore is to sore when you train your muscles? The next question. This person wants to know how you should train and eat. If you're a female who has lost their period and the final question, this person wants to know if you work out in the morning, should you eat breakfast or should you eat breakfast after lumberjack's the workout? Also, uh, this month we took two of our most popular workout programs, maps and a Bollock, which is a full body resistance training program designed to build muscle, build strength, speed up the metabolism to make fat loss easier. And we combined it with the no BS six pack formula, which is a core training program only. It's a program designed to build defined ab and oblique muscles.

No questions asked. Guaranteed. You were talking about how, um, you know, the current, the debates is like two old men just grumpy old men. Yes. Yeah. Just like that movie grumpy old men. Yeah. Such a classic. What a great movie. Who are they fighting over in that grumpy old man? That's one chick. She's super famous. Sophia Loren. I know Sophia Loren. You're right. Doug definitely had a bikini poster of her in his room at one point. Sophia Loren. Yeah. Everybody. Yeah. Well, I think, I think we're a little, I think we're a little young South. She's an Italian treasure. Yeah. I'm serious. That was like a, that's like a big deal back in the day. Did you have posted? She's a fox. No, I didn't have no posters of Sophia Loren. Now, were you, were you guys allowed to have posters like that in your room? Of girls? Yeah. I did not. I didn't know that I wasn't allowed. I just, you know, I didn't want my mom coming in and, you know, I don't know. I guess when I was at home, it was a little weird. You know what it was for me? I'm alone on this one. Cause my cousin had a, he had a Kathy Ireland, uh, was it calendar? I hid all that stuff. He had a calendar. Exactly. Yeah. I thought to myself, how stupid my cousin was. I'm like, you're an idiot. Now your mom knows you jerk off. Like I thought it was a secret. Your mom knows. You know what I mean? I thought nobody knows, you know what I mean? I remember I went to work on my dad once and we were like working or whatever. My dad made a comment like, yeah, yeah. Cause he's jerking off in the bathroom all, you know, cause you're working with workers and that's the kind of jokes. That's all they talk about. And I remember being like, oh my gosh, how did they know? That's not a thing with kids anymore, right? Do you like, do your boys want posters or do either one of your kids? Why would they put up a poster? Have you been online ever? Well, bro, that's still, what do you mean? It's decorating your room. Yeah. Why is that not, that's not really a thing. I mean, kind of like a, I mean, I put like, I put Star Wars stuff up for them, you know, just to kind of indoctrinate them. But yeah, no, it wasn't really their idea. Yeah. Adam had calendars and stuff. Oh, like totally. Up until he was like 30. Not that late. Hold on a second. Like 25. He had the ultimate master. You had Playboy magazines. You told me the stories. I had it. No, on a rotating bed. I had like the whole like, I had like, not only did I subscribe to the magazine and have it, you know, and this is totally like for the articles, Hebrew sheets, which by the way, let me tell you some of the best interviews are in the in Playboy magazine. Yeah. Yeah. No. So I heard, I had like the soap dispensers, the towels, like the whole place was done like that. What do you mean soap dispensers? You can, dude, have you ever gone to Playboy.com before? Oh, wait a minute. You can buy all like house accessory stuff that's that is all Playboy. Hold on a second. Did you walk around in a robe? They were Playboy? Yeah. Oh my God. Yeah. It was over the top. Now, a girl coming over your house, there's no doubt. What's that? You know what I mean? It's like, she kind of knows what's the deal. Like if she shows up at your house and she's like, okay, you know, I really didn't think of it like that. She's not thinking like he's a nice guy. Yeah. No, I don't know. You know, no one ever called it out, right? Like, which is weird, but I didn't think of it like that. I think what it really was was I grew up in a very conservative home that my parents were very strict. I wasn't allowed to do any of that stuff. And I had my house by the time I was 21 years old. So at 21, you're still kind of a baby. Yeah, 21 year old ideas. Yeah. And at that time in my life, I'm making pretty good money where I'm at. Were you thinking like, Oh, girls will love this? It wasn't no, it wasn't like that. It was more like, I can do this. This is my house. Nobody can tell me no. Yeah, I couldn't have dirty magazines when I was growing up. So I'm going to have dirty magazines as an adult. You know what I'm saying? I'm going to have it on my coffee table because I can't because it's my fucking house, right? So it was totally that, you know, and it took, you know, it, I don't know, it took a good five years to grow out of that. Did you never have like family visit? I didn't give a shit. That was like, that was it. That was like that was the play, right? It was just like, it's my house. Now you're in my house. Like when you're, when I was a kid and I was living in their house, it's like, I had to live by their rules. Now you're in my house. These are my rules. That's what happens. Playboys stay out on the coffee table. That's what happens when you sell that too hard to your kids. When you have your own house, you make your own rules. No, exactly. That's exactly what happens. I mean, I heard that over and over. So of course, as soon as you get in, I think people that probably wait years and years, like until they're closer to 30 and they get a house, they're probably a lot more mature and they've grown past all those bullshit. But when you're a kid at, you know, 17 years old living at home, hearing that. And then three years later, I'm in my own place. I mean, I'm still working that shit out. You know, I'm still dealing with all that, that childhood insecurity bullshit. That's why you had the AC on all the time. Ice cream like crazy. Yeah. I grown out of the ice cream in the playboy, but I have not grown out of the AC. It's still blowing all the time. Yeah. No, it's still a thing. We had a guy, I think we've burnt up the AC thing like fucking five times in like the last few years. The guy came the other day. We were, I don't know where I was at, but Katrina was home. And he's like, you know, he's like, he's like a tech guy, right? And he, what an age fact guy, right? And he's from a Merced area. And he's like, you know, you guys are, you guys keep this AC just way too low. It was way too, way too. What is it set at? 60, 67. That's not, yeah. That's, I mean, it's cold. No, that's the compromise. It was up to me to be 64, right? So I want 64. The compromise is 67. You want to see your brand? Katrina wants 70. I want 64. 67 is where we land. So anyways, my point is that he tells her that, oh, we'll, we keep it at 75 at my house and it's real comfortable and trying. She's, she just laughs at me. You don't live with my husband then because there's no way you're going to go for 75. Trying to sell me on 75, slapping the face. That's how I was like, we live in the Bay Area for a reason, guy. Wait, hold on a second. Did Katrina make the appointment? She slipped him. I like this guy. She slipped him a 20. Yeah, I know. Tell him we have to keep it at 75. Does she, now when you guys use the chili pad, does she put hers on warm and then yours on cold or does she still cool her side off? No, she does not cool her side off at all. So she'll leave hers alone completely and then like, I'll, I'll run mine. Have you used it to warm your bed up? She has. I don't ever, see, I don't, even in the winter time, I still like it cold. She will warm the sheets up though, if it's in really, really cold. If it's cold winter time and I'm not, I'm not running the heater or something because I'm obviously the opposite, right? So when winter comes around, I'd rather just sit by a fire and then when we go to bed, it's cold. See your breath in the room. Dude, speaking of old, old man or whatever, he just made me remember a memory. You know, I used to train a lot of people in advanced age and at one point I had maybe five clients who were in their 70s or 80s who stayed in those like older living communities or whatever. And they would tell me all the stuff that's going on in these places. So I didn't know this. Now I looked this up. This is a true thing. Did you guys know the, one of the fastest growing rate of STDs in populations or older population? Did you guys know this? Yeah. You knew that? I did know that. Yes. You fucking around with a whole lot of old changes. I'm not one. No, I didn't know that. I know that because it's, there was some article about that. Explain yourself please. No, it's, it's, I don't know. I guess it's not common knowledge, but yeah, that was one of those things. I ran across that and was like, oh, that's interesting. And it's because of like Viagra and all these introductions of, yeah, all these different ways now that they can keep it. Okay. So it's not, it's not, it's not the most prominent in that age group. It's just, it's, it's growing at a faster rate than before. It's, it's exploding. In fact, well, I mean, what percentage wise, it was like 1% before now it's like 12%. So that's, Bro, no, they literally now have, they've had people come and talk to the groups to old people. Yes. It's like sex, sex ed for like 70 year olds. Cause remember, these people came from a different generation where you don't really use a condom unless you were a sailor, you know, at different ports or whatever. At least that's what, that's what's on my client. Oh no, that's hilarious. And so they used to be, because STD, STDs would all of a sudden just, just go rampant. Like all of a sudden there'd be like 10 cases of gonorrhea or whatever. Yeah. And here's the other part of this. Nana's got the clap. Yeah. Here's the other part of this dude. So it's Viagra because now all of a sudden, you know, homeboy can do it. But the other part of it is that the, if you're like a man, if you're an old man and you live in these homes, you are the man because, especially if you're set, your shit works still because those hips aren't broken at that age. Once you get into like the 80s or whatever, it's mostly women. Like dudes usually die. So when you go in these homes and they would tell me, like there was this one guy. So I train these three women that all were from the same, you know, living place or whatever. And they would talk about this one dude. Ricardo. And I remember one, just a picture of him. He's got like the comb over. I picture like a fedora, dude. It's like a fedora and some fun doing like ballroom dancing, you know, he's just way too good. You don't, you don't have to do anything. I talked to him about, and I remember talking to these ladies and I was like, because we had this Christmas party, so they all showed up at the same time. And I'm like, why do you guys all talk about the same dude? They're like, there's two guys in the whole place. Didn't they make, wasn't there a comedy show after this? And I want to say Morgan Freeman and like one or two were in it. There was, there was a, there was a comedy show. Like, God damn it, why can't I think of the name of it? There's a, there's a movie that, not a show, a movie that was based on exactly this. And they're like a new guy comes in. I can't remember what it is. Like, so there's one guy who's like the guy of the, the retirement home, all the ladies love them. And then in comes like another old guy competition. Yeah. And then I think that they have a little friendly rivalry at the beginning and then they have to be friends. Come on, Doug, you don't know this movie. I have not seen it. You don't watch the movie of your peers. No, and probably Bruce Willis. I mean, they would party, dude. They would party with this guy, like take showers with him. And that's, oh yeah. Tonight I'm going to take a shower with stones. I'm like, I can't believe you guys are telling me this. This is terrible. Yeah. You know, yes. Totally using the Nufa Rose. That's it right there. What's it called? Oh, Tommy Lee Jones is the other old guy. Just getting started. Yes. It looks like a terrible movie. No, no, it was funny. It's, and that's what, that's the premise of the, of the, of the movie is exactly what you're explaining right now. It's like the old guy at the retirement home that's got all the ladies and stuff like that. And then in comes the other dude. Oh, yeah, yeah. Well, there's hope, you know. That's your life. That's your goal in life. You just got to live long enough to be like the guy. I'm going to live long enough so my kids put me in one of those homes. So last night I watched the VP debate. Okay. So this is, you stay awake? Yeah, I did. I watched the whole thing. 10 minutes. Okay. So I watched the whole thing. This is the first time in my life I have ever watched the presidential debate from beginning to end and watched the VP debate from beginning to end. And I used to get people used to give me shit all the time about it, right? Like that I don't care about what's going on in my country. And after watching both these, this is what I have to say to all those people. Fuck off. You get nothing out of it. You get nothing. Zero. Nobody even last night, I thought that Pence and Kamala both handled themselves professionally. Well, the contrast from Trump and Biden with the whole mother, that must have been the feedback. Like it was really like cordial, right? They even complimented each other a couple of times in there. So like totally respectful, but it's still no one answered a question. Nobody answers a question. They have preloaded shit that they know that they want to say that stirs everybody up, which I'm very familiar with all those points are. And so I feel like we get nowhere. And the biggest thing that I don't like about these debates this year is that it's so much of it is about COVID. And it's like, it's not scientists. Yeah. And not only that, it's, it's what ifs. You know, what if you would have done this, we would have done that, then this could have happened. And that could, it's like all, all these things that nobody can prove. You know what? Again, again, this is just like when people get mad at the fact that they're at the grocery store and the tabloid has Kim Kardashian on it. And why are we already, why do they make this? Because people buy it. You know what I'm saying? You know why they're talking about COVID all the time? Because it's works. That's how people are going to why they're not answering questions because it works. That's all, if we voted differently, believe me, they would talk differently. They have to, but they don't because that's what works. Yeah. The best question was literally the eighth grader who asked the very last question. Of course. Yeah. And that was, other than, and even then, like, I felt that was the closest like real answer that, or that was unloaded already. All the rest of them, I, the question gets asked and I'm like, Oh, okay, this will be good. I can't wait to hear what he has to say or what she has to say. It's like, completely take a laugh. You're a political virgin. I remember feeling like that the first time. Yeah. But you know what? It just, it just, it just reminds me of why I don't watch the bullshit. It's like, you're not getting, if you think, if you watch that stuff and you really think that you're getting to know what all these, what all these politicians are going to do in office, get out of here with that. I thought it was funny. I mean, I only watched a little piece. I don't know if this, this happened the entire way through, but I would listen to Kamala, then I would listen to Pence and then they would make their points and then Pence had a really slow delivery. And so he's like, kind of getting through his point and would get this, the, the, the lady that was, uh, you know, she would just have her own. I'm like, this is hilarious. Like, he's like, so slow and composed. Like, but it's just like, stop, your time is done. I'm like, what? Yeah. Can you please answer why you passed the 1994 crime bill? You know what? I would love to answer that. That's a very important question. I'm glad you said that, but first I'd like to say something else. Yeah, exactly. And you'd never get the answer. Never get it. No. And you wouldn't even get the full finish of that, right? Hey, could you, could you imagine if real life was like that, how frustrating that would be? If you're talking to your wife, honey, why didn't you buy the burger? Actually, I'm glad you asked that question. That's a good question. I was on my way to do that, but here's what happened first. Yeah, first I'd like to say though, that American people really are, you know, they work hard and at the end of it, you're like, what the hell just, what's going on here? I'm in the Twilight Zone. It's just verbal diarrhea. Did you guys ever watch, what's it called? What was that old cartoon duck? I know we always go to Doug, but it's something old. Johnny something, he's got the dads, the adventure cartoon. Oh, that's jet, not Johnny Blaze. You know what I'm talking about. Come on, you know what I'm talking about. No, you had the race car and everything in it. It's a speed racer. It was like a 1960s adventure cartoon. Remember I had no TV, Johnny Blaze, Hannah Barbera. I'm going to remember it because Pence looks exactly like the dad. Oh, I know who you're talking about. Yeah, it's Johnny something. It's an old cartoon from the 1960s. It's an adventure. Did he have an eyepatch? No, no, no, one of the characters. You and your pirates lately. I'm big on pirates, big on seniors. I don't know what's happening. Senior pirates. I'm going to make a new movie. Yeah, I'll figure it out. I got to have a talk with my boy tonight. You know how I told you guys we moved him in the garage because he makes too much noise. Oh, has he just completely owned the space now or what? Well, so here's the thing. Okay. So we got a combination of two things. One, Jessica's not sleeping well at all. And so when you're not sleeping well, you hear everything. So that's part of it. Oh, Johnny Quest. Yes. Oh, Johnny Quest. What a great, okay. Look at his, look at his, look at the dude. That's not his dad. That's the other guy. Look at him. That's freaking Pence, dude. That's a cartoon character. He's got white hair. But he looks exactly like him. Yeah. Anyway, so she's not sleeping well. So she hears everything. And then on top of it, my son just gets loud and excited. So he's all the way in the garage. And last night you could, I mean, I could barely hear him, but you could hear him. And if you're not sleeping, you're going to hear all that, right? So he's in the garage, you know, so I'm like, oh my, what am I going to do now? And he's just like, he doesn't, you know, so if I tell him and he doesn't do it, What time is this at? This was, uh, I let him, I let him play till about 10, 30, 11. And we go to bed usually at nine by nine, 30. We're in bed because we wake up pretty early. So it's like 10, 30. And he's, uh, you got to get it. You can hear him like, you know, yelling at his buddy. Yeah. So I'm going to have that conversation. Is the garage that close to your guys' bedroom? It's, uh, you know how my place is. There's that little patio area, like thing, and then the garage right there. Yeah. I would think that's enough to get a buffer. I know. I would think that's enough distance. You can hear it a little bit. I mean, to be fair, it's not like super whatever, but yeah, if it bothers. So why don't you and Jessica have like a like brain FM or something like that going on in the bedroom? Like, wouldn't you sleep? Once you sleep with white noise. We like it quiet. We like it totally quiet. You know, when I do brain FM, when I need to take like a nap or when I'm on a plane, that's when I use it. Yeah. I usually do it when I'm around a lot of noise. Yeah, because it's great. It's great. Yeah. Exactly. It's great for noise cancellation. That's what, sure. That's what it's wonderful for. I mean, that's, so when you have something just like that, it's perfect. You'd much rather hear like waves crashing than some, you know, teenage boys screaming. That's a good question. Maybe we should try that anyway. Even if you did this, right? So even if it's not in your room, so this is what I do with the dogs, right? You just got to make the white noise between her and him. So if you put the, even the white noise out in the kitchen or living room area and just let it play lightly, it'll be enough to drown out what he's doing in there. So she'll hear waves crashing or whatever like thing you want, whatever, you know, white noise thing that you want that brain FM has. She'll subtly hear that and hopefully that's more relaxing. No, that's not. That is not sleep to that. That's a sleep mode, bro. That's good. Let me tell you, you get a good squeeze whenever you do that. I've been doing the alternate. You know how in map split and phase one, the, there's like, you know, you do, you hit everybody part twice a week, right? But the second workout of the week, you're doing alternating exercises or alternating limbs. So like, you know, so workout one for chest might be like a barbell incline press. And then the second time around that week, you're doing an incline dumbbell press, but you're alternating with the dumbbells. You know, it's great. Sometimes it's such a good, even if you're advanced or you know what you're doing, like I, you know, I wrote these programs with you guys. I know what I'm doing. I've trained lots of people, but sometimes I don't do things unless it's part of a program and it's written in there and I'm saying I'm going to follow it. Cause I typically don't do that consistently with alternating, like alternate, you know, like a dumbbell row or one arm goes up and then the other one rose and then I switch off or a press or whatever. A lot of value in that. Oh, I love stabilizing with the other arm. Like you get even more effect from that. Yeah. Alternating is one of those things I've incorporated to myself as of late with kettlebells, especially kettlebell overhead press. Well, just from a bodybuilding perspective, the pump is intense, especially if you alternate at the squeeze. That's what I try to do. So I'll hold the dumbbell up at the top and just like literally three workouts ago, I did, you know, stability ball, alternating chest press. I love that. And I, and then you, and you stabilize when you're at the top. So you're, I'm having to stabilize the dumbbell so my chest is staying contracted the entire time. That's why you're coming down on the opposite and you're alternating. I love doing stuff like that. I think it belongs in everybody's routine. It doesn't, maybe it's not the main focus if you're like more focused on strength gaining or bodybuilding, but it belongs in there, you know, definitely belong intermittently. And what I feel really like when I did the wake board, wakeboarding last weekend. Waterboarding. Can I just, that was so, hey, that meme was so good. Yeah. Whoever's, hey, there's the best line. It should be called waterboarding. I mean, it makes sense. Shout out to the two pay, there's two pages. I don't know who runs these pages. So I can't shout out the actual person. They're trying to stay anonymous. But they, they're doing a really good job of the memes because they stay current with the show and they make me laugh. You know what I'm saying? Cause I forget, we talk all the freaking time and sometimes I forget what we talked about, but I'll get on Instagram now and they obviously tag us, right? So it'll come up. Oh, that's right. I forgot. Oh, that was a great one. I like the one where we're on the couch and we're like snuggling and Adam's all like on my leg. I'm like, I'm like a little midget dude. You got me. Hey, have you guys ever, speaking of physio balls, you ever just ever see one explode underneath someone? No. Yeah. One time. I saw one big guy just was sitting on it and exploded. I felt so bad because it was an obese woman and by the way, for listeners, physio balls, if they're good, they don't explode. I mean, you could, you could put a lot of weight on those. You could, I mean, they're not going to explode. They're very, very strong, but sometimes if they're old or they have a dried out or slash sun or something, something, right? And we had one in the aerobic studio. So one of the gyms I managed and there was this woman. I had just signed up for a membership, very, very big woman and she's in there and she goes to sit on a physio ball and it blows up and it's hella loud. And I felt so bad. I walked over to her. I'm like, Hey, you know, don't worry. It's mortifying. It's not you. It was this fall. Oh, that was a terrible. I was reading an article today and I want to hear what you guys think about like, you know, Jeff Bezos, right? He got into his divorce this last year and his wife now is worth 40 or $60 billion. $60 billion. And I was, what I was doing, I was doing the math on that. She married well. Yeah. You can do, I know there's a bunch of people like, she earned that, you know, for sure, right? So she could spend a million dollars a day pretty much the rest of her life and never run out of her money. How crazy is that? That's so much. I can't imagine that. You know how hard it would be to spend a million dollars a day? Yeah, that's insane. Is that a challenge? What would you do? You couldn't. Yeah. At that point, I don't think, I don't think it's even fun to spend money anymore. Yeah. At that point, I think you, you, you bought everything. Yeah. You've already bought everything you want. I think it's just like setting up your, you know, your, your great, great, great grandchildren. Shield everybody from our own government. Yeah. This is why people get upset though. They'll see that and be like, that's not fair, you know, whatever. But you know, they don't realize is that money that's either in investments or even in the bank, it provides liquidity for the market and investment for other companies. So it still is playing a role. It's not the same as having 60 billion cash dollars and hiding them, you know, you know, underground or something like that, in which case it is not doing anything. Is that all wrapped up in Amazon, like in, in the stock? Yeah. She has 4% of Amazon, right? So she's not necessarily walking around with $60 billion in her bank account, I don't think. But I mean, I think you can, I'm sure she can sell that percentage off anytime she wants. Speaking of companies, I wonder how that one company that makes the Regeneron, that's the drug that Trump was like touting. I said that was going to go crazy before he did that video, dude. I want to see what the stock is doing on that. He was pumping them hard. Yeah. Well, we looked at it. We looked at it yesterday because I had seen an article on it before he did that whole talk and you looked it up and it was already on the rise. So I don't know, I don't remember what the ticker was, but we were talking about it. Is Regeneron the name of the company? I believe it is. Really? Well, Doug, do you remember we were talking stocks just the other day and this was a stock that I said to look up, Sal looked it up and said it would have had already. Oh, Regeneron is the name of the drug maker. So I'm going to look up the ticker to see what the, you know, what the, what's happening with the car, the price. Well, it'll be interesting now. Oh wow. It's $602, but is that up or down? No, it's way up. That was like, it was like 300 and something. No, I don't think so. I think we were looking at a different drug. Yeah. Yeah, that's a, that's expensive. Oh, it's up 9% today. Yeah. So that's always interesting to me because like, whatever he sort of promotes, there's going to be like that high percentage of people that anything he says, they're going to do the opposite, you know. So you wonder if it's, as a company, when he mentions you, whether or not they're like stoked or they're like, oh, bro, he's still good. He's still going to get massive pull. Yeah. Yeah. No, if you're, if the president mentioned, you keep me because you mentioned, you should get all your fitness information from mind pump. We fucking explode. I don't want that climate heat dude. Yeah, he's just, no, it's just annoying. I'll take it. If there's something like really valid and awesome and, and you know, you want people to, to, uh, you know, seek, uh, you know, look into it. And then he says it, you're like, oh no, because, you know, you're going to be fighting people on this. Yeah. That's a lot of heat, dude. I mean, I feel like his friend owns Regeneron. That's what I feel like. I feel like it's one of his old contacts. You know what I mean? Yeah. And you know what though? He's like, hey, I'm sick. I'm sure he's got a million of those. He's like, if you hook me up with the drug that's not FDA approved, and it works, don't worry about it. I'll mention you guys on Twitter. Yeah. So what, so what, Sal, do you think, okay, we've been waiting all the way till October for this October surprise and from both, from both parties, do you think that there's still something to come or do you think that we've seen what the, we've seen the best from both sides? So you mentioned that tweet that he just did, like, uh, you want to talk about that? He declassified, uh, all the, the investigative information on the Russia, you know, which actually it's turning out to be like a hoax, right? But he's, he's, uh, declassifying all that declassifying all the stuff on Hillary's emails. Apparently this is what he said that Obama was briefed that Hillary would be using, um, this Russia collusion thing, um, as a political, you know, tool that it's fabricated and that nobody said anything. They allowed it to happen, which would be, I mean, if that's true, that would be terrible. So we'll see what's declassified and what comes out of that. Um, COVID, you know, he got sick. That could be like an October surprise. I don't think we've, we've seen what they're going to. What about the other side? I mean, it's mainly just the taxes and, and, you know, kind of coming out with that is, I think they're waiting. That's not time. Yeah. I was like, that's pretty weak. I think, you know what, you know, we know why that the news cycle and people's opinions is so quick now to change. It's even faster now because of social media that you have to time it just right. Meanwhile, what happened to Gisling Maxwell? Do I have to like be the only one that still is trying to pay attention? No one's suicided her yet, huh? Yeah. It's still, you know, she's still hanging around. Where is that? Where, where are we with that? I don't know. But, uh, the ex Reddit CEO made some comment, some public comment about her and said that he was at a party with her and a lot of other very influential people. And he said, yeah, everybody knew that she provided underage girls for, for sex and nobody seemed to care back then. So that's a kind of a crazy statement coming from someone. Yeah. You know what I mean? Yeah. I, you know, if it's all true, I don't know. I'm not a huge proponent of the death penalty, but in this case, maybe. Yeah. Yeah. You know what I mean? Seriously. Yeah. Let's, let's see what happens. Hey, I read this. I found this article that compiled tons and tons of studies on resistance training. So this guy literally went through and found all the best studies with the best controls on resistance training and listed all the, the, the, the most important muscle building factors as proven by studies. And I went on there to see what he had compiled, you know, what, what are the studies all say? Cause I've read a lot of them, but I'd like to see when someone summarizes it and it's everything that we know to be true. Everything. Like, you know, all the rep ranges build muscle. So it's good to phase in and out of them. You probably, frequency and volume are very important, especially frequency for, for muscle growth. Um, rest periods are important, although it's probably good to cycle in and out of different. I mean, everything that we talk about, this article went through and showed the evidence in the studies. I love seeing stuff like that. So basically everything that you're putting in the book anyway. So this doesn't really matter. Everything we talk about. Nothing, nothing new. More ammunition, you know, to build up our case. Did you guys see a Howard Stern, uh, re-signed? Oh yeah. Did you see that? No, like a hundred hundred million, 120 million a year, dude. On serious, serious. Do they still make money? I know. Yeah. But here's the theory on that, right? And, and I guess, I mean, imagine serious beings in this situation. Okay. Obviously, uh, Howard Stern is, was the Joe Rogan before Joe Rogan, right? So he's got that kind of pool. You know that they paid a massive money to originally go over to serious. So you got to think that, you know, okay, if, if you think he's on the level of Joe Rogan, which I think he absolutely is, he's got millions of people that are listening to him. I think there's millions of people that subscribe to serious just because of him. And the, the, basically if you lose him, right, it's $15 to $18 a month for a subscription for series. So think of him having one, just one million people, one million people, that's $15 million a month times 12. That's well over 120 million a year. So like you almost have to pay that guy as long as he has that much pool. Who do you think has a bigger reach today, him or Rogan? I would think Rogan because of the, because he's getting, capturing more of the younger generation, but I don't know. Do, do, do more older people still listen to talk radio? Yeah, I think that's the, the factor really it's that paid wall. I think that eliminates a lot of potential new listeners because it's like, he might have like kept a big majority of his listenership, but behind that paid wall, that's a tough jump for a lot of people to commit to. Yeah, I'm surprised that Spotify didn't get involved in a bidding war for him. If his contract was due up and they paid in 120, why not pay him? Maybe they did and we don't know. Yeah, maybe why not offer him. That would make them a monster. Right. Oh yeah. That's what I would think. If they had those two Titans, that'd be crazy. But you hear they're, they're in kind of deep water right now with these, what they're calling streaming farms. So this is really popular in the music space right now. It's been popular for a while and it's been like one of the biggest like controversies with musicians is like, you know, they, they jumped to the top of the charts and a lot of that is all based off of streams now, right? Cause we don't buy records. People don't go buy records or CDs, ear cassettes anymore. So it's all based off of streams, but you've got so many of these streaming farms that have got, you know, 10,000 phones that are all, and then they just auto listen to all these, they set them up, set these accounts to make it look like it's to make sure they look at it. And so that's a big hack for a lot of these guys and girls that release a song, they go to these streaming farms, they get them to download hundreds of thousands of downloads right away. So their numbers go up and then they can, yeah. So they inflate them like crazy. Wow. That's the same thing people do on social media when they get all of a sudden, you know, 5,000 followers. Right. But that's it. I mean, they're losing millions. I think it was even billions of dollars based off of that, because that's how they base how they're going to pay, pay these artists that are on there. So that's a big thing they're trying to, to, to solve. That's wild. Crazy. Yeah. Yeah. You gotta think of that as if you're, you know, you're Spotify, you're one of these major companies that, you know, there's, there's farms out there. There's trolling farms out there, you know, even if for Instagram, for Facebook, for all these kind of tech companies, I mean, they have to like have somebody they're accounting for all these excess amount of numbers of people. Yeah, I feel like, I feel like right now it's got a lot of power, but I feel like as people get more and more privy to it and used to social media, that that's going to how they're going to filter this. Yeah. Cause it has a lot of power right now. It makes, it reminds me of this. Like, think about it this way. Imagine how powerful the first TV commercials were when TV kind of, when they first came out, right? Yeah. They were probably so effective and people probably thought to myself, to themselves, Oh, this is true. You know, this commercial said that this product is the best. I believe it because I just saw it on TV. Yeah. And then it got to the point where, you know, you watch a TV commercial and you're like, okay, right. Yeah. I don't believe anything you guys say. But with social media, when you see comments and stuff, you tend to believe like, Oh, this is what people are thinking. Not realizing that there's a lot of these paid for bots and trolls. Yeah. I wonder if that's going to change. You know what I mean? The way like the way we view TV commercials changed. I wonder if that's going to change. Yeah. I don't think it'll change that people will stop doing it. I think it'll only get worse. But I do think that like to your point that more people will, it'll carry less weight. Yeah. Less people will. This is where I see Facebook really shining because they have connections to your family, your intimate friends. And so it's like, you know, I really feel like it's going to reduce down to people you like know and trust and whatever they say. And so they're going to like kind of prop them to. Right. That makes sense. Right. So like, you know, instead of now looking at things where it's got, you know, like a million likes, it'll be like, you know, 80% of your friends like this or 20% of your friends don't like this. Like so that would be more valuable to me than coming across the page. It's got a million likes or a million comments on it that, you know, all of them or half of them could all be coming from one of these farms. You guys get emails from Magic Spoon. Like when I ordered, I get emails from every now and then and it was opening it. And they had, they had this cool thing where you could basically pick like four different boxes that you could make your own combo now. Instead of just getting, you know, that one combo that's always like the same four. Yeah. You can actually throw peanut butter in there. You can throw a couple of the new flavors in there that they didn't have before as an option. I was like, oh, that's the custom bundle. Wow. Which is a great idea. Is blueberry still the jam? Is that the best one? I don't know, man. I like peanut butter is really good too. Like I like peanut butter with the chocolate combo. Like I really wasn't like a fan of the chocolate, but the combo of peanut butter and chocolate is great. Well, when they did that, when they reformulated the flavor, I actually think that the fruity flavor ended up being like, yeah, fruity actually did it. For me, it's fruity blueberry and peanut butter like that. Well, it's also this, a lot of people don't know this, that okay, high in protein, no sugar, right? It's, you know, natural ingredients or whatever. Good quality proteins made with milk and whey protein. A lot of people don't know this though. It's gluten free and grain free. So there are a lot of people who, because cereals are typically not gluten free and a high protein cereal is typically not gluten free. That's a good point. I mean, that's the only reason why I can eat it. Right. So, I mean, I, you know, if you have a dairy intolerance, okay, fine, you're probably not eating cereal anyway, but otherwise grain free and gluten free too. So you get your high protein, no gluten, no sugar, natural ingredients, no artificial flavors. I mean, it's no wonder that. No, I'm duty. Yeah, they're killing it. I'm duty up right now. Hey, I read a cool study on coronavirus. So there's a lot of interesting stuff that's coming out. First off, there was this huge article I read explaining why or why coronavirus is so hard to predict in comparison to the flu. So the way that viruses spread can be different from virus to virus. With the flu, you tend to have this kind of general transmission rate. Okay, so you can predict this many people get it and they'll infect this many people. And so we can make charts and say we predict this many infections. The thing with the coronavirus that we're now learning that is really strange is that there's some people in situations that spread it like crazy. And then there's lots of situations where you don't spread it at all. In fact, I have a friend who had coronavirus and in the same house with his wife and kids, nobody else got it. Oh, interesting. Just he got it. Dr. Jolene Brighton, she got it. Nobody in her family got it. But then you have situations like there was this one woman who was at a church service and they did the distancing and everything, but out of that church service, something like 50-something people got infected and they're called super spreaders. And you see this with some viruses. And so this is what makes it so hard to calculate because averages don't work with that. For example, if you're trying to, like if you wanted to figure out the average pay of people in a restaurant and then Jeff Bezos walks in, all of a sudden everybody's average pay is now, you know, $200 million. Because one guy is worth a trillion dollars, right? So it's hard to figure that out. That's a good point. They're trying to figure this out. And this is why contact tracing seems to be... Well, this is also why I hate this conversation in these debates because of all this stuff. And they're still figuring it out. They haven't figured out anything, I feel. Yeah. So it's like some people are super spreaders and then there's, most people aren't at all. That's interesting because I have a friend that got it and she gave it to her husband, both kids, the whole family got it. So that's, you know, which I would think that would be more common, but I guess not. The flu works that way typically. It's pretty consistent with how it spreads. We can kind of predict. We see their models and we know what's going to happen. Coronavirus is strange. Like in Sweden, for example, they didn't shut anything down. What they did is banned like gatherings of larger than 50 people and schools were still open up to 16 years old, I think. After that, then they closed the schools down, but they're largely open. You go to restaurants now, nobody's wearing masks, everybody's whatever. And it seems like they're beating this whole thing. They're trying to figure out, how does that work over there? Why is it some areas we see this crazy spread? Like in Italy, there's one town that like made up like 75% of all the cases of Coronavirus. And it's because of this because some... And so once they figure this out, I think it's going to help. Yeah. What makes up those super spreaders? Yeah. Anyway, so here's another part of this article. Apparently, there's studies showing that if you were exposed to other coronaviruses, because there's lots of different coronaviruses, right? The one that we're talking about is COVID-19, but there's other ones that cause like the common cold. And they're finding some of these studies that if you were exposed to other coronaviruses that cause the common cold, that the current COVID-19 virus is probably going to have a much lower effect on you, which is good because you build up some antibodies. Yeah. So that's good news because that means that we... Because the old theory on herd immunity is we kind of based it off of how the flu works. But if it's with COVID is different than it may mean that we don't need to get nearly as many people. Do you know what we've connected this with smoking? Like people that smoke, like how much the higher risk they are, because this is a respiratory thing, right? That's one of the reasons why it hits people so hard. Well, now they're saying it's a blood vessel thing. Yeah. That it does affect the respiratory system, but it's through the blood vessels. But we're seeing neurological issues and damage and issues with the nervous system. That's what I'm worried about. It's the neurological stuff that like later on like five, 10 years from now, you know, if there's any more ramifications from that. Yeah. I don't know. We'll see, but it is interesting. It's not like other like flu we know a lot about because every other pandemic we've had for the last however many, you know, 100 years or so were flu, you know, pandemic. Was that meme that you shared? Was that a real picture of the, it would look like it was like some sort of a, you know, concert or orchestra and they were, they had like, they're playing the flutes and they had like masks with like the, that's a real picture. Yeah. And there's like an opening so they could play the clarinet or whatever. That's a real picture. That is a stupid. I'm sorry. I can't have a comment. It's getting so ridiculous. You hear, yeah. You hear the Gavin Newsom said, you recommended that people put their masks on in between bites at a restaurant. I want to vote that we don't mention that guy anymore. Did we get a bad review because of that? Did we get somebody who's like a big Newsom fan? I didn't know that existed. He does have nice hair and he is handsome. He does have that going for him. Yeah. First question is from Andrew Woodruff 15. The barbell push press uses momentum to allow more weight for the shoulders. What are some other muscle groups and exercises that really benefit from added momentum? That's kind of a cool question. Yeah. So it's not necessarily the momentum. Although there are some, momentum can provide some benefits like helping you get past the sticking point in the lift. It's the speed. It's the speed that you're getting the benefit from. A push press is a faster press than a strict shoulder press. I will say this, nine out of 10 times you should do a strict press. Well, it's speed and load, right? Because you can move more weight. So you're moving more load and it's speed. So those two things are the two factors that are the two major benefits that you're getting. Yeah, but you could also get incredible value from speed with a light load if you're explosive enough. Olympic lifters do this all the time. What muscle groups can get benefit from this? All muscle groups. But that doesn't mean you should apply this to all muscle groups. I think for some exercises, it lends itself well. In other exercises, it doesn't lend itself very well. If you're going to do like a overhead tricep extension, explosive momentum-based tricep extension, I don't think the benefit outweighs the risk from doing that. And if your goal is just to build a good, strong, solid, muscular physique, you could probably never do movements like this. And again, I think explosives, fast movements, they have some value, but you need to have good stability. You need to have great form, good control because the risk of injury goes up. Yeah, it exposes the cracks. Anytime you add acceleration into the mix and you haven't worked on stabilizing and being able to decelerate properly, then that's where you put yourself at high risk. So it's more of a high risk thing, but you do get the rewards of the fast twitch response. And that's something that if you're not working on that at all, that's a major benefit that actually is going to produce some size to the muscle and some strength that you're not going to get just from your slower cadence type lifts. I actually see a lot of benefit from it, especially for the advanced lifter. So I saw huge results by doing that. I didn't really ever train power, just was not a focus of mine. Now, when I was competing and having to see progress, it really challenged my programming and diet more than I've ever challenged myself personally to string several years of crazy consistency. I really had to pull every trick I had. Everything that I knew I've learned over the last two decades in training, which caused me to do things like this, I would have never done a heavy push press in the past. I just, I'm not a power lifter. I didn't see a tremendous amount of value in it to your point, Sal. You can get tons of gains with never ever really utilizing something like this. But when you're kind of pulling everything out, and you've never trained this way, I my shoulders blew up because of heavy, heavy push presses. I was not using utilizing that going to that was great. Now that being said, it's I think of it the same way teaching someone basketball or any other sport. And when it's like teaching someone a spin move, a, you know, behind the back pass can be very valuable if you have built an incredible game of all the foundational moves and exercise and you can handle the ball really well, there is going to become a time in the game where throwing a behind the back pass, if you don't know how to do that really well, can become very valuable or a crazy between the legs crossover type of deal, right? But if you can't lay the ball up well, you can't dribble with both hands very well, you can't pivot very well, you can't do all the basics very well, training this way has will hurt you more just like it would in a game. If you can't do those fundamentals, and you're trying to do fancy moves in a game, your ball is going to get stolen from you, you're going to get poked loose, and it's not going to benefit you very much. Also, and to your point of like, there's not a lot of maybe barbell exercises, I mean, Olympic lifts, obviously, that's like something that people know right away, like this is about acceleration, this is about speeds about technique and form at its highest, you know, level, there are other alternatives. So this is where I really like the kettlebells and the kettlebell swings. And that's because you're you're getting that snap and that power out of derived out of your hips. And so that's really where it's sent like it's center to everything. And even in your push press, like you're getting that snap and power from that, that hip hinge and that that really fast, powerful snap that you're going to get from the hips. And so the kettlebell swing addresses that beautifully. And it's it's pretty controlled and safe in terms of learning how to utilize power in in your programming, as well as medicine balls, medicine balls, I like things where you can take weight and you can get rid of it. And so you don't even have to worry about the de deceleration part of that movement. Yeah, bringing down a push press to your chest improperly. Great way to hurt your shoulder, or even hurt your rib cage. I tell you what, if your mentality going into speed or momentum based exercises is all about being able to lift more weight, you're doing it wrong. Okay, so if you're just motivated, if you're doing curls, you're like, you know what, I'm curling the 30s. I want to curl the 45s. And so you get your you start to swing and get bad money. That's the wrong reason to to do these types of movements. Don't worry so much about the weight. Use the appropriate amount of weight, which sometimes and oftentimes is more weight. But if it's just a way for you to lift more weight in the gym, you're using it wrong. Well, you have I mean, the question is like what other we didn't even address what other muscle groups I really see lots of value in every other muscle group, except for maybe your buys, tries and calves. You could do like a lay row for your back, you could do for, you know, explosive push ups, chest pass to the wall. Yeah, even bench press with speed, you know, even if you got if you got good form and technique with the bench press, doing that with the light, light, low and explosive tosses and all kinds of stuff. Next question is from Alabama craft master. As far as overtraining goes, how sore is too sore? Usually I'll give you kind of a general answer. Usually if you're sore for longer than a couple days, like two days, I would say more than that, you're probably overdid it. If your soreness is impeding your performance in your next workout, you probably overdid it. If it's sore to the touch, rather than like, it's okay to get sore to where you have to stretch the muscle. Like if I worked on my chest yesterday, right? I don't notice it sore unless I sit there and stretch and I go, Oh yeah, I feel a little bit of soreness. That's okay. But when it gets like sore the touch, where every movement hurts where it lasts for more than two days, you probably overdid it. Yeah, it's almost like when you're really tight and restricted versus like you're aching like all day, like it's just this constant sort of throbbing signal that you're sitting with, which I've been to that level. And that's not something that I'm like, Oh wow, that was way too far. I was way overreached. But like a little bit of tightness, I think it should be expected. I mean, it this is such a hard one to answer because the because of the individual variance because so many people are are if I'm talking to a client, for say, for example, I'm talking to a client who is completely weightlifting is foreign to them, you know, like they're the type of person who remember the first time you train these clients where they they say instead of saying sore, they're like, I hurt, you know, my bicep hurt, they think they hurt they're hurt themselves. I'm injured. Right? Because they don't, they're not familiar with feeling sore, explaining them what soreness is and that it's okay, and it's part of the process. That conversation sounds like that. Then I then you have someone on the other the other end of the spectrum who is like hardcore training all the time and they're chasing the soreness because they don't feel like they have accomplished a good workout unless they're really sore. Then I'm talking different to that person because that person more likely isn't what like Sal always explains the what I like the recovery trap where your body is constantly sore, it's always trying to recover and it's never allowing it to adapt and get stronger and build more muscle. So it is a fine line and fine dance myself personally. When I if I come out of the workout and the next day I'm really sore to where it I can feel it the way I move, whether it be in my chest or my legs, I'm walking differently, or I'm moving differently because I am so sore, I overreached. I always look at that as like I did more than I needed to do I could have done X amount less sets, I could have worked out 10 minutes less. And I could have been just as effective as far as my pursuit of building more muscle. So and that is a constant conversation with myself. So it really depends on who I'm talking to. Are you the person who gravitates towards training to be sore? You probably need to back off and learn how to scale back on in your workouts. If you're someone who's just unfamiliar with being sore and you're like, Oh my god, is this a bad thing? I heard mine pump says that I shouldn't be too sore and I actually feel really sore this next day like getting that person kind of comfortable being sore. So it's really a hard one to answer on a podcast when I'm not looking at the person or talking to or know their history to where I could tell them like how sore they should or should not be. Next question is from Sarah Stone. How do you go about training and nutrition for women who are missing their period and are trying to get it back? Do you have to be more careful with those who have suffered eating disorders in the past? Due to both questions, I'm going to assume that the reason why this person is missing their period is probably because they're too lean and they're over training, they're overworking. Now there's lots of reasons why a woman could lose their period. And this is something that you'd want to work with a medical professional over. Now in the fitness space, oftentimes we see this in women who are getting their bodies too lean. If you get too lean, your body doesn't want to be fertile, so you'll lose your period. If you work out too hard too often, the same thing will happen. Your body will start to not want to be fertile and you'll lose your period. In those cases, increasing calories, not being too low in proteins, fats or carbs, so you don't want to be low on any of them, you want to bump your calories, you want to focus on recovery type movements, you want to get good sleep, and the type of exercise you should focus on is traditional strength training and be very careful of overworking. And it can take time. If you do that over time, you'll gain a little bit of body fat, you'll gain a little bit of muscle, a little bit of strength. Because you're eating extra calories, your body now feels like it's a good environment to be fertile and you'll start to see your period come back in it. And with the women that I've worked with in this situation, it works like clockwork, but it can take a while. It's taken for some clients, I remember one girl in particular, it took us about five months. It was five months of this. And she was somebody who had gone through extreme dieting over and over again. She did have a past of an eating disorder, but she was working with a therapist. And so when she came to see me, me and her therapist together, worked together, and I did put her on a nutrition plan that had her bumping her calories slowly, so it's like a reverse diet. I had her eat more fats. In this particular case, she was eating too low of fat. And she only trained with me twice a week. We did two days a week, full body workouts, four or five exercises in each workout, these barbell movements like squats and deadlifts and overhead presses, and one and a half to two minute rests in between sets. And after about five months of doing this, her period came back and she hadn't had it for a couple of years. Yeah, I think this is definitely a client that you have to be extra careful. And a generic prescription would look very similar to what Sal said. I would say two to three times a week, three times being max, the amount of times we're lifting. We're probably training at a 60 to 80% intensity, so we're not going hella hard. I'm eliminating any sort of cardio that she may be doing and we're going to do walking instead of any sort of intense cardio. The major focus is getting all the macronutrients. So not doing anything, we're eliminating a carb or eliminating protein or limiting fats. We're doing a more balanced way of eating. My goal is to slowly increase her calories. Can I manipulate her training program, manipulate how much steps and movement she's doing to cancel out the increase in calories? But the ultimate goal is I'm trying to get this lady to eat more food in a balanced meal plan, limit stress, focus on sleep. That's really what it looks like. And to Sal's point, it could be something that turns around pretty quick. I've been able to take someone like this and literally turn it around in less than a month's time. And then I've also had some people that's taken six months to a year. So it just depends on how much they've been hammering their body for how long, for how long it takes to recover. Yeah, it's hard too because it's, I mean, this is definitely a psychological barrier that you have to kind of really like gradually work your way through and lots of conversations in between to get them in the headspace that it's okay to do less. A lot of times, if it's a client like this, it tends to be sort of that person that wants to do extra and wants to do a lot more cardio and wants to make sure that this body fat isn't going to come back no matter what. And so it's just really trying to kind of bring them back to what's the most healthy approach for their body, getting strength back, focusing more on the metrics of what we're doing in the gym, other attributes, sleep, all these types of things and then adjusting the nutrition accordingly and just slowly bumping those calories back in. Yeah, and sometimes you just got to gain body fat sometimes. Sometimes you do. You're walking around at 15, 16% body fat. That's a good point. As a female, sometimes it's like, okay, we got to get you in the 20% range. Yeah, the low 20s, 20, 21, 22. Let's just get your body fat percentage up in a healthy way and then poof like magic, you know, they get their period back. Next question is from Lance Zach. For people working out in the mornings, is it better to eat breakfast before or after the workout? This is a really popular question. Yeah, you know, I don't, I work out every morning. I worked out this morning at You were got fasted though, right? Yeah, 545. I was in the garage lifting weights. So I work out between 545 or 630 is when I'll start my morning workout. And I never eat before because if I did, I'd have to wake up, you know, I have to eat breakfast at 4am in order to work out at 545 and feel okay. Cause I don't like to eat to work out right after I eat. But here's the thing a lot of people forget. If you work out first thing in the morning, it's not like you've had no food ever. The food you had the day before, you're still storing some of the energy. Yeah, especially if you had a big dinner. Yeah, if I have a good dinner, I'm going to be okay in the morning. But there's a large, there's a really, really big variance here between individuals. You know, I've worked with some clients that if they don't eat a couple hours before they work out, they feel terrible. So they have no matter what time they work out, they have to have some food in their stomach, you know, an hour and a half to two hours before they work out. Me personally, I'm okay. I'm perfectly fine working. I'll work out fasted completely. I'll not eat at all and work out at noon and be totally fine. So it really does depend what makes you feel the best. The only challenge with having to eat breakfast before you work out, sometimes it means that you would end up compromising your sleep because if you like me, like for example, if I work out at six, then that means I wake up at five to get worried. But if I want to eat breakfast, that means I want to work out, you know, wake up at 4.30 or 4.15. I don't think that's a good trade. I think sleep is more important than, you know, having the food before you work out. Well, the truth is you're not getting any value from that breakfast unless it is a minimum of an hour before that work out. So why? Why have breakfast unless you can get it more than an hour before? It takes that long for your body to digest it and then utilize it. So it's not, even if you ate 30 minutes before a workout, you're not utilizing that fuel yet. That's still getting converted over into glucose. Your body is not using that for your fueling your workout. So you're still running off of last night's fuel anyway. So unless you're getting up more than an hour to eat before you do your workout, I would almost always recommend it to somebody to eat afterwards. Yeah, I wonder if it's more psychological than anything else. Like somebody who hasn't fasted before and just hasn't really understood like those signals of like, you know, how to navigate through that. They're just so used to having food before they do something. It's like this conditioning, it's this programming that they've set their body up for where, you know, I have to have food before I do anything rigorous. But again, like there's variances and I'm sure there's people that don't do very well when they don't have food at a time, but I'm just wondering, I put that out there if you've never fasted before. Maybe this is the type of person who should, you know, really introduce that. Well, not only that, it also matters like, okay, like what Sal was saying, right? So most people you're probably utilizing the fuel that you ate at dinner the night before. But you know, if you do eat a very light dinner and you eat it at six o'clock or seven o'clock, there's a good chance that you've tapped into most of that. So your fuel levels are lower. So but then there's benefits of burning fat when you go to work out because of that. So there's benefits for you not feeling, but I could see like, if you're somebody just, you don't have the energy, you get lightheaded or you have, if you're giving me that feedback as a client, then yeah, I'm going to have you have, I'll probably have you do a liquid, like I'll have you do a shake, I would have you do because that your body will break that down, digest that faster. And so if you're giving me feedback as a client that man, Adam, I have to work out in the morning and I just your blood sugar drops, right? I'm yeah, lightheaded or I just I can't get any energy to lift. And maybe that's because you're eating a 400 calorie or 300 calorie dinner at six or seven. And so by the time five, six o'clock rolls around, you have tapped all that have a glass of juice, you know, 30 minutes before that's what I used to do. I had clients that I would train at 7am and they would, you know, there was a couple of them that would say that like, oh, I get a little lightheaded. And so I tell them, Hey, drink a glass of orange juice on the way here. And that solves it right there. It was really easy. Just a, you know, an eight ounce glass of orange juice gave them what they needed to so that they weren't dizzy during the workout. But the huge individual variance here. But I did, I have found that the vast majority of people that I've worked with are perfectly fine. All the challenges and difficulty that they find with the morning workout did not have to do with the fact that they didn't need to have the fact that it had to do with the fact that it was an early morning workout. So then they would eat everything moving. Yeah. It's like, then they'd eat and feel better, but why? Because now you're working out an hour later. So it's, it's the morning part that usually causes the challenge. Look, Mind Pump is recorded on videos, well as audio. Come check us out on YouTube, Mind Pump podcast.

Most clients, it was more about trying to keep them consistent and consistently coming in and staying consistent for months and years. That, so the only time I think that it's really necessary
