Guys, you guys watch these podcasts and you see Mark, Andrew, and myself smashing our feet each episode. We're using the NeuroBall from Neboso along with some of the different mats on the bottom of our feet to help drive sensation, stimulation, and blood flow to the bottoms of our feet. Andrew, how can they get it? Head over to Neboso.com. That's N-A-B-O-S-O.com. And at checkout, enter promo code POWERPROJECT to save 15% off your entire order.

order. Links to them down in the description as well as the podcast show notes. Already? Dude, you know, smashing our feet on this during podcasts I think has been one of the best passive things that we've ever continued to do. It's great. I actually do it a lot of times before I go to bed too because I've noticed that when I wake up in the morning my ankles are always kind of tight. I still haven't done that. I know you mentioned that to me a few weeks back because like, yeah, when you wake up, fucking ankles. Like I was in bed this morning because I was getting, I had to wake up extra early. So I was sitting in a position and fucking move my feet back and forth because my ankles were kind of locked up.

But I got to try that out. You guys did some jujitsu today? Some jujitsu chopping. It was fun. I brought in Seema for show and tell. That's great great bring my black friend to work yay yeah see i'm not racist yeah come along it's like who was talking shit around here oh man like in sema that guy tapped me like a hundred times go ahead and just get them once go get them but yeah no that was. But yeah, no, that was,

it was fun. It was a lot, it was a lot of, uh, it was just cool because like we've been talking about it so much and then kind of getting on the mat within SEMA and, you know, again,

like feeling whatever, one and a half percent of what you're able, you're capable of. And then just being able to just move with them, you know, it's, it's a lot of fun and, you know,

and there's one position where he was like going to sweep me and all he's doing is just like not even really sweeping me he's just setting it up but i'm like oh i'm already gonna fall like i had to get into a hardcore defensive position before he even did anything and i'm like fuck like this is rough so it's cool it's just cool to see the the levels of how The best defense is a good offense? I don't know. Hey, actually. We're talking about offense. But it's kind of hard when you're limited, right?

You don't know what the hell's going on. Right, yeah, absolutely. Can't mount any offense. No. And then you're all defensive. And then someone tells you, hey, you gotta play your own game. And you're like, but I can't. I don't know how the game's played. Leave me alone yeah well because you try to like reverse engineer shit like when i don't know it's like oh i got caught in this so how can i do that and then he'll just do something totally different like oh wait

i didn't the program does not understand this algorithm you know like it's just it's way outside of everything i've seen can you just yell that you can't breathe? Because that used to be my defense against my brothers. Can't breathe, can't breathe. I had such a dark joke when you said that. I'm just going to hold back. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. No, no, no. Let's not even.

Andrew, come on. Yeah, no, I know. That was dark. Ooh, why does the mic do that? It's okay. Ooh. Oh, fuck. Anyway.

I can't think of anything else because that's all you know what i will say this though i am at least i didn't say it you know no one said anything whatever if you have a bad inference that's your fault andrew it is super cool though seeing you move in there because i was telling mark before you got here you don't move like you're like you have pain yeah yeah it's it's it's really interesting it's like you know you you have this back stuff that you've been dealing with but you don't move on that that way on the mats it's really cool yeah i i mean i i have to have to have to hit like the pre-game pre pre-rolls uh like stretches and stuff yeah there's been a couple times where like somebody's like hovering over me as I'm like moving into the next thing. Like you're ready to go. I'm like, I, I have to do,

like, I got like one more thing I need to do. And then everyone's always cool about it. But like when everyone's like kind of like already going and I'm still like, if I didn't get in early enough, I have to get those like movements in because without it, it's just like, I'm kind of, I'm risking it and there's no point in risking it. So I'm just like, we're, we're good here. I need a little bit more time. Yeah. Yeah. I think, uh, you know, when it comes to like, you're about to do a workout or about to do something, if you can mitigate some of that stress that you're about to undergo, then that's, that's really wise. Cause I think that I think we get hurt by getting forced in positions that the body doesn't want to go into for that particular

day. And for whatever reason, sometimes you're not warm enough or sometimes it sucks, you know, it sucks because you're like, I got to do these stretches. I got to do these four things before I go and do that. But if it is working for you, then that's great because the worst thing that can happen is for you to get hurt. And you had a little bit of negative influence when you first went to jiu-jitsu. Your feet got all fucked up, right? Yeah. My feet got so bad when I did jiu-jitsu. And it was funny because everyone's like, I've never seen Matt burn that bad. And I'm like, I don't even know what happened.

But it happened and it was so bad. I have to put it on Instagram just because of how bad it was. But I'm like, it's embarrassing. You're going to get one of those graphic images. Like, press OK if you want to see this. Instagram just because how bad it was but I'm like it's embarrassing you're gonna get one of those graphic images like yes press okay if you want to see this yeah it was bad it was really bad I couldn't like really walk like it hurt but your body felt okay just sore but yeah body was sore and there wasn't like an injury injury no no no no yeah I could with the exception of like being able to put a lot of weight on especially my left side that got really cooked but that wasn't because i twisted an ankle or a knee thing

which kind of happens now where like if if i if i work somebody in my guard i'm not sure exactly what's going on but the the pressure of pushing out on my knee while my ankles are locked in so it's kind of like you know it's push it's pushing the things out when I'm trying to close them in. I'll get some, I'll get something going on in my knee and it travels up to my hip. So my right side, which this has always happened, uh, it will, it will go out. So like trying to, to focus on, on wo, uh, go to stuff, my right side will wo to out and that's when it doesn't hurt. So when I try to turn it in, that's when I'm like, Oh, like it's, it's, it's sensitive because it, whatever it, it kind of, I forced it too much during the roles. Yeah. A lot of people, I think when I think of

like a squat and they see people's knees cave in, I think they're always like, Oh, valgus knee, valgus knee. And they always talk about the knee. But in my opinion, the real problem is the back because when your knees come in, a lot of times when there's internal rotation, there's also flexion going on. Your spine gets put into a weird position, and that's where you can potentially get hurt. But trying to avoid injuries is a weird thing because once you start trying to avoid them, then that's a lot of times when you get hurt. And so you're trying just to figure out how do I make myself a little more resilient so I don't get hurt. And I think you did a good job of staying fit for a long time, pursuing different things, trying to find over and over again, like, oh, this kind of works. And that kind of hurt my back. Oh, that really hurt my back. This feels good. And over a period of time, you found enough stuff

to probably keep you strong enough to the point where now you're going to jujitsu and people are like, Hey, you're actually really strong. Yeah. Can you let up on me a little bit? Well, they're not quite saying that,

but I do get the, uh, the response of like, yeah, you, you are strong enough for jujitsu. Whereas pretty much everything else was like, Oh,

we're going to have to start putting some, some weight on you. We're gonna have to put some, you know, uh, the, the big three lifts, like're going to have to start putting some weight on you. We're going to have to put some, you know, like the big three lifts. Like you got to load up on those lifts because you got to get a little bit stronger. Yeah. With jiu-jitsu, it's, I mean, this is just jiu-jitsu in general, right? It's normally a technique thing.

It's not necessarily like you need to grind through this, right? That never happens. So with jiu-jitsu, it is cool knowing that in my current state like i just have to get the technique down and then i can slowly start adding the uh the strength stuff back in and when i say slowly it's not because that's the the general direction you should go just for me because i am i'm trying to make i'm just trying to be like violently consistent with going three times a week to jiu-jitsu I don't want to miss a class. The open mats before class are great. That's where me and Nsema got some rolls in today.

Those are incredible and I'm learning a lot. So it's so funny because like I'll do that, but then when one of the instructors have us do like, whether it be like shrimping down the mat, I'm like, damn it, I can't figure this shit out. shit out and like you know my buddies are kind of like joking with me they're laughing but it's all good it's just i have to get the technical side down and i just don't want to miss like a day like it's crazy this feeling of like nope i gotta get there like i woke up late today i'm like fuck i'm like of course the day that inseam was gonna come like i gotta get there now and i'm usually the one but i did bring you deodorant you did i thank you for that brother thank you so much yeah i didn't want to kill anybody i forgot to bring deodorant i asked him to bring some so it was fun yeah but pain we're talking today about pain and weight gain because when you get hurt like if andrew had a really negative influence when he went to jujitsu,

you know, he might not go back, you know, broke his foot or something or twisted an ankle. You know, maybe the time that it would take for him to go back, maybe it would be like Thanksgiving time, Christmas time. And then we fill ourselves and flood ourselves with these excuses and they're valid, you know, when shit hurts, it hurts and it doesn't, it's, it sucks. And so how do you get yourself to feel good enough to where you can, I guess, get enough momentum so you can exercise enough to where your diet can be in a comfortable range to where you don't have to count every calorie and be super meticulous with it. You get a little bit of freedom because maybe you lift and have a little bit of cardiovascular training and you get to have a diet that's a little more comfortable. But if you can't move, you're kind of screwed. pain or lack of movement and then gaining weight is that there could be certain things that put somebody into a situation where they're in pain. But then depending on what they do while they're

in pain, that could spiral out of control and have them just lead to a bunch of like a lot of weight gain, a lot of fat gain, and then it's hard to come back. Or if you're aware of what's going on at the moment, you can try to insert different things. We talk about walking a lot. We talk about standing. There are certain things that you can do outside of the body part that has pain so that you don't have to gain weight. Because I remember when I was in college, I had the surgery on my foot, put me in crutches for eight months. I knew that because I was an athlete and I knew how big movement was. I knew that if I just stopped moving because I couldn't put weight on my right foot. But if I stopped moving, I would gain a lot of weight. So I made sure that I would do stuff on my crutches each day. I'd just walk

with my crutches. I'd go to the gym and I wouldn't put weight on my right leg and I'd do a bunch of movements sitting down because I knew that if I don't move, I'm just going to gain a lot of weight and it's not going to be good when I get out of it. So whatever level of pain you're dealing with right now, you have to have strategies to keep moving. Yeah, if you were to break something in the upper body or sprain it really bad, the wrist, collarbone injury, maybe your neck is kind of jacked up. Maybe you can say, you know what, I'm going to walk 10,000 steps every day until I start to feel better and maybe I'll get back in the gym and get back on it. I think immediately what always comes to mind for me whenever I have gotten hurt, I start to think about what are the things that I can do. And I also think it's good to take kind of a top-down approach when you're trying to think about what is your goal?

Like what are you actually trying to do? And then it makes it easier to be able to utilize that in your day-to-day because anybody that's ever tried it knows how good it feels. It feels incredible. Sometimes almost like, feels like it washes away the workout that you did to a certain degree.

It doesn't cancel it out completely, but you feel like a new person after you do that. So if you can try to figure out like, what is the goal, what are you trying to do? If you're trying to get proficient at something, you're probably trying to do it multiple times a week. And it's going to take a lot of effort. It's probably going to take a lot of trial and error. You're probably going to be really sore. If you're trying to be a bodybuilder, again, cold and hot therapy of some sort in the shower.

Just forcing yourself to do it. But it's less forced when you think about the overall arching thing. You weigh 180 and you want to weigh 230 and you want to be a bodybuilder. You can say, I don't really love making the shower that cold in the morning. I don't like getting into a tub that's cold, but I did say that I wanted to be a, I want to be a bodybuilder. I know that I want to weigh 230 pounds. I know that I have these goals. And so therefore there's gonna be a trickle down effect. That would also mean you have to lift heavy. Maybe not, you know, maybe you don't have to be a power lifter, but you're going to have to overload the body in some way. And you're going to have a whole list of other things that would

go along with that. And so then you can say, well, maybe I do need to take the time to put on those elbow sleeves and put on a belt because I am trying to get bigger. I am trying to handle more weight. Maybe these things would be a good idea for me with my goals with running right now. I just decided the other day that I'm just going to wear my Nikes a little bit more, which I kind of hate wearing for many different reasons i'm like i really need to i i busted my toe the other day i stubbed my toe in the gym and i think i fucking broke my pinky toe oh it's like black like oh really i don't know what the fuck happened to it but anyway i'm like you know what i'm just gonna i need to protect my feet because you know

any any anything that goes haywire with your feet and you're trying to run every day as I'm doing, then you're completely screwed. So do what you got to do to mitigate. If you're a boxer, you don't want to wrap your hands. No one wants to do that. It sucks. It takes forever, too, to wrap your hands every time you hit the bag. You're not going to be a very good boxer if you don't wrap your hands. You're going to break your hand a lot and fuck up your wrist you're not going to even be able to

get into a fight 16 weeks from now or 12 weeks from now you're gonna make it through camp so you can kind of align stuff with what's the overarching thing that i'm after that i'm chasing yeah there's a there's a bunch of things there uh because i do want to talk about your toe because holy shit but as far as like the the hot and cold therapy stuff uh the the the goal for me like i would go i i have gone like a thursday night uh no gi session okay and then i'll go friday morning open mat and regular gi session it's i mean it's it's like eight o'clock at night i don't want to get into that cold plunge and it's cold outside and i'm i'm like uh you know you come in and like there's steam coming off your body from rolling and then like that cold air hits you as you're wearing you know like the uh like

compression clothes so like the air hits you hard and it's fucking cold and i'm already shivering and i'm like i really like ah maybe i shouldn't get into the cold plunge today tonight, but then I'll feel my knee kind of bugging a little bit. I'll feel my hip. Like I want to get in here because I want to go tomorrow morning and feel good. So then I get in there. Right. Cause there's enough motivation there for me because my thing is it's not like, it's not even necessary that I want to feel better right now. It's like, I want to feel good enough to go again tomorrow morning. So like, that's a huge, you know, motivational thing there for me. And then also I wanted to bring up like experimenting. Something I didn't do for a majority of my back pain experience was I didn't try things enough because they hurt.

So I came from the school of like Stuart McGill, which is like, hey, just stay out of pain. Put your elbows on the counter when you're brushing your teeth. Get out of pain. Don't go back into pain. When you're going to bend over, brace like you're going to squat and avoid the pain. And now it's like, okay, it might hurt a little bit to round over, but brushing up against that little bit of pain. Like, is it even pain? Is it pain? Or are against that little bit of pain like is it even pain is it pain or are you a little bit uncomfortable okay i'm actually just a little bit uncomfortable let me see what

else i can do here yeah maybe if when you uh if you arch your lower back a little bit like let's just say that your back is normally arched a little bit stand booty out yeah you're like your butt's sticking way out and let's just say that you just force the hips underneath you, you tuck your pelvis underneath you a little bit. If that kind of hurts, a lot of people will avoid it. But over time, what might happen? Like the back might just get super stiff and it might stay that way all the time. You might be like, yeah, but I feel fine. But then it's like, well, what if, I don't know, what if you had to catch a ball? Or what if you had to try but then it's like well what if i don't know

what if you had to catch a ball or what if you had to try to take someone down or what if you had to do a sport as soon as that spine starts to move around you may end up with an injury because you're pushing your back into a spot that it shouldn't be and what do you have going on with dude it's just as you guys are talking about this i just remember you know in stew's book where he says if you need to sneeze sneeze so that it doesn't shoot back and for me when i would sneeze that would go immediately to my back right to my low to my lower back so i'd always sneeze upwards so it's like whenever i need to sneeze it was like a red flag i'm like oh fuck fuck fuck you ever shit yourself i've almost had an accident sneezing i've had it you you shot yourself just really just like uh either coughing or throwing up really bad when i'm sick oh like that's when all the oh fuck like damn it you're like oh i got a real

surprise look on your face yeah yeah yeah i know what you're talking about but on that note with some of the the things that we've been doing recently for the lower back and adding a lot of different movement there and load there the i've been sneezing just casually just like whoo right in front of me yeah whoo down at the ground yep to the side spreading some diseases around yeah and nothing in And nothing in the lower back. Like I can sneeze freely. So that's the thing. Okay, I'm not saying that Stu McGill is wrong

with what he's saying because within the sport of powerlifting or a lot of lifting sports in general where there needs to be a level of stiffness in the lower back, for some of those people, they have to be careful with the amount of rounding and pressure that goes to that area because it's built to move load.

But for us now, you know, we want movement there because we're doing a lot of movement type things. And since we've brought movement there, there's now no fear of, you know, anything happening there. And it's pretty damn cool.

Yeah. A lot of great power lifters will end up with a structure similar to, not as big, but they'll end up looking like Eddie Hall. Like when Eddie Hall was in his prime, he was perfect for a strong man. He was able to lift all kinds of crazy weights. He won the world's strongest man competition,

but you're going to have a stiff spine that's not going to be able to react to stuff maybe the way that you might need to if you're trying to pursue other stuff which most people are like most people aren't as all in as we saw eddie hall do and eddie hall also had you know a very athletic background he was a really proficient swimmer yeah so i'm sure like nowadays he can kind of go back and gain access to some of that especially with some of the boxing and stuff that he's been doing. But that can be problematic when you're trying to, either way that you go, if you're trying to, you know, we see this with triathletes and endurance athletes, sometimes they're really, really small and they're super fragile and their spine is too bendy and too much.

Yeah. All the way to the left. Eddie Hall is probably at his like athletic prime in terms of his uh swimming prowess at that time and then i think all the way to the right is uh is when he was doing strong man which is an amazing picture wow and then in the middle i think is more modern i think that's more like like now times eddie hall has a recent video with uh look at his abs how like fucking thick they are yeah he has a recent video with... Look at his abs, how fucking thick they are. Yeah. He has a recent video with Brian Shaw, and I don't know why he shaved his beard. Maybe he had to do something, but Eddie needs to keep that facial hair.

You've never seen his face before, huh? I've never seen... Well, because he looks good there, but now he has... I think he's getting back into strongman, so he's adding some few LBs. He looks different without facial hair. God damn, he's big all the lbs he looks uh different with that facial hair damn he's big all the way to the right yeah he is i've never seen anything like that i don't i don't think yeah oh he does need the beard though he had like uh yeah he looks so different it's different hey he's still huge it's just it's different he kind of looks like a little kid yeah

oh hey he looks younger that's a good thing in some senses maybe i sound so mean eddie hall is so much he's so fucking funny he is uh eddie hall and i saw um or not eddie hall uh Martin and Brian Shaw wrestling. Then, you know, we saw Dustin Poirier, right? And Brian Shaw. And then, yeah, Bradley Martin. Shaw's just wrestling everybody. Is that recent?

I think so. Yeah. Wow. I know Martin's been messing with a little bit of jujitsu. Bradley Martin. That's cool. So I wonder how that went. Wrestling Brian Shaw is just something different, dude.

Like I, it's just his hands, different, uh, different species. Yeah, literally. Oh,

they actually really went for it, huh? Well, Brian is a great athlete. You know, he, he was a basketball player and stuff too. So,

Oh, okay. This is old. I remember this. I remember this. Was he like taking his shirt off though? this was he like taking his shirt off though i think he was taking his shirt off he just started fucking with him okay yeah is this older this is older this is older yeah yeah this is older but the thing about the one of the things about like uh i guess what we do here is if you, let's say that you have a

back issue that's taking you out of doing certain things in the gym, maybe you can't run. There are certain things that you can add to your lifestyle that will maybe add to your fidgeting, right? Which burns extra calories without you doing anything. And again, I'm going to mention these Neboso pads because like with this ball at our feet, what I have noticed within the past few months is that as we're standing here, usually I'm just standing here, which is good. It's better to stand than it is to sit down for long periods of time. But now what's going on is I freaking have this black ball in my toes, this neuro ball that I'm, that's inside of this bigger neboso ball that I'm smashing my feet on top of. And my feet are constantly doing things. I'm not thinking about my feet doing stuff. They're just moving more. And as we know, there's this thing called NEAT or non-exercise

activity thermogenesis. It's the things that you do, fidgeting, moving, and that adds to your extra expenditure. And if you can add little things like this to your day, these little habits, they compound over time and they'll help you over time be healthier, burn more calories. We have an interesting episode coming up with the Bar K. About calories. About calories. You know, I think the other thing is it's nice when it has a benefit. It's nice when what you're doing has a benefit. So walking does have a great benefit, great benefit on the body, the mind.

I really love it. People don't seem to always love it. They don't always seem to enjoy it maybe as much as some other people. So it's understandable. But to kind of start to turn yourself into a little bit of a fidgety person is really interesting because i am like i'm really calm i'm docile like if if i if i was an animal i'd be a cow i'd be like a dairy i'd be a dairy cow or a panda yeah or a panda just eating all day just still i just let the lions and everybody else fight, and I'd watch, and I'd sit back and chew on my fucking bamboo or whatever.

I'd just be kind of hanging out. But, you know, I've always been an active person. I've always enjoyed sports and stuff, but I usually went and played my sport and did that, you know, with some vigor. And then later on, you're just tired. So you just fucking crash. But nowadays, I find myself wanting to move around a lot more. And it's to the point where it's hard for me to watch TV. It's hard for me to, like, watch a movie.

It's just like, I'm just like, man, this is not, this doesn't feel like it's moving me forward. Obviously, if the thing is good enough that I'm watching, I'm interested enough in it, then I can sit and chill and watch it and just be like, well, this is entertainment. And everyone needs entertainment. Otherwise, you turn into a crazy person. But when you're doing some of this like myofascial release and you start to mess around with different movements, you know, we've had the guests. We've had the Gota guys here, we've had David Weck here, and some of the practicing of some of the twisting.

I've been doing functional pattern stuff. We've been doing mile faster release. Chris Kodowski gave us a really good introduction to a lot of that, even though we all knew it already. We weren't really doing it that much. And he introduced us to it. That burns calories. You sit there and you fidget around rubbing your forearm on a ball

or you're rubbing your back on something. Not only are you burning calories, not only are you active, but you're also releasing tension from a particular area. So this will help you with stress mitigation in your day-to-day. It will also help you with your athletic performance, whatever the thing is that you're going after. And movements like this, Andrew's just bringing up a clip of me messing around with some stuff that I was doing with John Mills, just some internal and external rotation of the hip. A lot of these exercises can be done while you're sitting there watching TV.

Like I'm trying to do this with like a little more concentration and focus, but I find myself just continually moving around. I'm on the floor practicing some of the stuff that the go-to guy has taught us. I'm rolling out on the foam roller. So I'm just moving all the time. There's calories being burned there without any real effort. And one thing about all of this too is it's cool how you mentioned how now you're moving a bit more

and even you tend to be, you fidget a little bit more because some people think that when it comes to things like fidgety, because generally I don't think I've always been a fidgety type person, but by adding things into the environment, right? So by adding this to my feet,

it has caused me to fidget more with my feet because I'm like constantly rubbing my feet against this. And this pad has little things where it's sensory. So your feet are working on these little prickly things. So your feet are moving more passively. You have that pen in your hand. Yeah, you're getting feedback. You have that pen in your hand or even that little kettlebell that I see. This weighted thing we got. These things passively help with movement. So when you're not doing anything, if you are sitting on the couch, you could be.

And it might not add up to much initially. Like that day when you're sitting holding that or this little kettlebell thing that bill maeda gave us that i sit here and deep throat this for an hour this could be like four or five hundred calories easily man if you deep throw it for an hour get the especially how vigorous you go how am i doing it's supposed to do the twisty twisty slop slop twist twist i'm supposed to. That's what you're supposed to do. I got to work on it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But adding little things into your environment will help with movement. And then over time, that'll help you burn more calories. But the thing is, you also have to be aware, especially if you have pain or if you're injured.

Let's talk about the injury thing first because chronic pain is somewhat different than injury. If you have an injury, you got to be aware of the things that the injury is limiting you from doing. So if you had a knee injury or something and it's stopping you from standing up or moving or whatever, you need to try to figure out ways where you can still get some movement in. But now you also need to be aware of the amount of food you're eating while you're injured. Because if you keep eating the same amount of food, and we don't track, right? We don't track our calories. But if we got injured and we just ended up eating the same way and we were moving less, like anybody else, we would gain weight. So you have to be aware of if you're not moving as much, try to still eat satiating foods, eat to being full, but maybe limit some of the things that you eat so that you don't end up gaining too much over

time. Because most people don't necessarily think about that. They'll just keep doing the same thing and then slowly the scale will go up and then a few weeks later they gain 15 pounds. How'd this happen? You might have to try to find something that you're not really that interested in too you know it might be the kind of the maybe you separate your shoulder and maybe you got to just go to the gym and fuck around on the recumbent bike you know like maybe it's just a little bit of time where you got to kind of mess around do some stuff that you don't really love but you don't want to make the changes to your diet. So you're like,

I still need to burn the calories. So let me just figure this out. And you know, we've seen people in here before, uh, in slings and all kinds of stuff using the safety squat bar and going through full workouts. So pushing a slide,

there's always options. You don't have to do stuff that you hate, but I just brought that up because sometimes it is easy just to say, you know what? I'm just going to devote 20 minutes. I i'm gonna go on the recumbent bike move my fucking legs around get a little bit of a pump and i still get to eat some of the foods that i normally like let me also say this though i knew you're about to say something andrew but i didn't always like to walk there was an ex-girlfriend of mine who way before she loved walking and she like you want

to go on walk like lose my gains what the fuck what the fuck why am i gonna go trying to get big yeah yeah right i thought walking was a waste of time now i really really enjoy walking so even though you don't currently enjoy something let's say walking is that thing for you, don't let that be something that limits you from potentially being a person in the future that likes to walk. Because as we've seen, people that like to walk, like to move, a majority of those people tend to be in better shape than the people that choose not to move. So if you're someone right now who you are sedentary, not judging you for it, by the way, but you are sedentary, understand that there are certain habit changes you can make so that you

can enjoy the act of walking. Maybe you'll take an audio book with you and you'll listen to your audio book. Maybe you walk with a friend or whatever. But now I really like it because I know that it makes me feel good. Like I come up with new ideas. I'm able to do a lot of things like it makes me feel good, but it didn't used to in the past. So just because you don't enjoy something doesn't mean that you're never and you should never do it. Power Project family, we talked to you about Mouth Tape before and it's time to get better quality sleep, stop snoring and wake up better rested. Andrew, how can they get their hands on some Hostage Tape? You guys got to head over head over to hostage tape.com slash power project. You'll receive free shipping

plus a free, incredible odds, awesome bedside tin. Again, hostage tape.com slash power project links to them down in the description as well. Yes, daddy. Whoa. Yes, daddy. Whoa. Look at this magic. I thought something was wrong with the audio, but you just have mouth tape on. It's called being a ventriloquist there you go uh so like uh addressing an injury or a problem and quote-unquote rehabbing sometimes can just be kind of like a pain in the ass because you got to go super slow and it's like am i even making progress and also i just want to go lift or whatever it may be so like let's say it's a shoulder thing all right they said i want to go lift or whatever it may be. So like, let's say it's a shoulder thing. All right.

They said, I got to go do the other recumbent bike. So I'm going to go do that. And then like, oh, I'm going to try to push the sled one handed or I'm going to drag the sled one handed, whatever they're going to do. They're doing what they can do. But when it comes to addressing and trying to like relieve some of the injury, reverse some of the injury, like how should somebody approach that? Like as far as like

a, like a, like week one or whatever, you know what I mean? Like they're going to, they're going to do what they can, but they also need to address the actual injury. Yeah. It's not motivating, right? It's like kind of stale. There's, you know, there's a lot of things to explore. It depends on what you hurt and how you did it. pain related, but like time oriented, um, maybe pain, like just pain in the ass of trying to maintain like that level of strength and all the other things that came along with it. And so trying to like move, move onward from, from something and progress into something else. But usually like if you have an injury, you can usually find something to do. There's probably been something in your head for a long time that you've been thinking about doing that you wanted to do for a long time that you just haven't gotten around to mess with.

And thinking about like an upper body exercise, maybe you hurt something in your upper body and maybe you can try cycling. Like maybe you've been thinking about it for a long time or you've been thinking thinking about, you know, hitting some trails or something like there's usually something in your head somewhere. And you say, you know what, fuck it, man. When, as soon as this gets a little bit better, I'm going to go out and I'm going to start, you know, doing that thing. And you can kind of get motivated by that. Then also you can have that be a driving kind of thing in the background to get you to do some of the rehab exercises that you don't want to do. Yeah. You know, every, a lot of injuries are different because I've had foot injuries,

I've had knee injuries, back injuries, but there are a few concepts that hold true. The first thing is getting blood to the area, right? So if I've ever done something to my back or for example, when I had my menis when i had um my my meniscus surgery where part of my meniscus was removed the first things i did was i did my best to get blood to that area so movement within the range that was given to me the second thing i tried to do was try to get back to a normal range of motion so i would see what range I had with that injury and then see what I could go to and then try to see if I can get like slowly over the next few days and weeks, get myself back to a normal range of motion. Each day you'll find that you can get a little bit more and a little bit more

without pain. But one thing that you always got to do is you have to warm up. Like every single day that I had that thing in my back, it pretty interesting when I when I had that little back tweak where I was having to be super careful when I bent down and get out of the car or whatever every morning would start the same every morning I'd get up and I could barely move then I would start to warm up and then after I was warm I was like whoa this is way better than yesterday but it was after I was warm. I couldn't tell initially when I got up. That's warm up a little bit. Then I was like, ooh, okay, I have all that range back. Let's do a little bit more. Let's get some blood to that area. Let's get a little bit more range of motion and let's keep that moving. But if I just totally avoided it, and some people,

when it comes to injury, they're like, okay, just stay away from it. Don't do anything. What that'll do, for example, when I had that knee surgery, my physical therapist told me not to extend my leg. When I had that meniscus surgery, my PT told me not to extend my leg. Luckily I knew, I wish I remembered his name. It was someone that we, we've podcast with in the past, but he was like, immediately get your range of motion back ASAP. So I spent the few days trying to extend my knee and get myself back to extension. That's why I was able to get that meniscus, like get back to rolling on the mats after four weeks post meniscus removal, because I tried to get range of motion back ASAP

and I wasn't limiting myself because of the pain I was feeling. Again, I was being careful and I was working within a safe level of pain, but it wasn't so much that, um, I would retear something or injure myself again. Did it mess with your sleep? That part can suck. Yeah. I had to put on my, I had to put a few pillows underneath my foot. Um, I don't think I, I didn't, I wasn't taking any medication for it. So I was, I was able to wipe out, but yeah, my sleep probably wasn't as good as it was before. Same thing with the back thing that happened the first few nights, my sleep wasn't as great. One thing I would say is you can

get like such a crazy pump going that like it will take away a lot of pain. Yes. Like you could have something that's really bothering you. I for myself i don't i don't have i don't have any idea why but whenever my back's been real tight doing a bunch of leg extensions seems to just i don't know gets a lot of blood to the legs and then i feel a lot better i'm not saying it's like any sort of cure for your lower back um but i've noticed that getting a pump and even getting a pump like sometimes in the upper body, um, can help a lot. Like just if your knee is bothering you or your ankle is bothering you, it just, it just kind of takes the focus away at least for a little while. So, you know, getting warm is an interesting thing,

especially as somebody that is doing some running, because if you ask a runner, like, Hey, when do you feel great? They're like probably about 30 minutes in. And you're like, you can run for 30 minutes straight. you're like you can run for 30 minutes straight you're like what the fuck yeah runners a lot of times feel great when they've been running for a really long time i've noticed in a lot of sports too like i don't think they warm up nearly enough they do like these drills and stuff and they get people to kind of breathe a little bit um but i think your heart rate needs to be elevated really consistently, almost like steady state cardio, unfortunately. I think you need like a good 10 minutes of at least that. So,

getting your heart rate probably for most people at least above 120 and kind of hanging out there for a while. And that sucks. It's annoying and it's kind of boring, but it will make you feel good and it will encourage you to work out even through and around your pain. Yeah. Have you guys messed with, because like when I think of professional athletes, sometimes they'll take to water to get some movement in. I don't know if you guys have explored that to like jumping in a pool to like, I don't know, do something like that. That's great. Yeah.

Try to get like unweighted. That's an amazing idea. Yeah. I sauna a lot i wish man because apparently in finland almost every household has a sauna i wish community saunas were a thing because like you get hot your heart rate goes up with you just sitting there you can move around a bit you can stretch you can it's like it's like you're getting a workout with just sitting because like after i don't know know, after 50 minutes or whatever, my heart rate will be like maybe 110, 115.

And it will be there for a while in the sauna. Like it will – maybe this thing is a little bit off. But like after a few minutes. It's pretty wild. People will use it after a run and it will keep them elevated into zone two cardio after they run. It's like you're doing – Yeah, man. It's like you're doing, yeah, man, crazy.

It's like you're doing a light form of cardio with just sitting there. But the, I think the biggest benefit is everything loosens up. Like you're able to get movement. You're able to move in there and, and, and stretch a little bit. It's so useful. That's why I could also use a shower,

but I agree that's superior. The sauna is superior, but, um, you were mentioning how, uh, walking like makes you feel good. I, I mentioned it That's superior. The sauna is superior. But you were mentioning how walking makes you feel good. I mention it all the time. A shower feels really great.

And I don't know what it has to do with exactly. I would point to the warmth being a big thing. I've heard other people speculate that it's also a form of grounding. I don't know. Oh, yeah. But that makes some sense. There's a little energy in the water. I don don't know but it fucking makes you feel good i know that much yeah how long are you in the sauna for yeah i usually try to be in there a minimum like 30

35 minutes but this is the thing it's saunas initially when i first started using saunas years ago 15 minutes was where i was was chilling because I felt madly uncomfortable after 15 minutes. And then over time of doing it more, now I can be in there for like an hour. But I usually just leave the sauna when it starts to feel super uncomfortable. And when it starts to feel super uncomfortable for me at this point in time is like 50 minutes. Not every day do I have time to get up to 50 minutes. So sometimes I'll just be in there for 30, 35, and then I'll dip because I got to go. But it's one thing where I'm just like, I'm never going to stop using the sauna.

These are things you can seek out while you're injured. If you are in pain, it's going to take an effort for you to go to a place that has a sauna. That itself is going to burn some calories. When you're in there, it's going to burn some calories. It's going to burn some calories. When you're in there, it's going to burn some calories. That's another thing with injury is like you've got to try to find some sort of pattern that's recognizable to what you were doing before. So if you were active and you were getting sunlight and things like that, if you all of a sudden start to cut all that stuff out, you could head down and just have a really bad downward spiral.

I think all of us know people that have played sports and then they've gotten an injury. And like that's where their story ends. Like they're like, yeah, you know, I played football and then I hurt my back. And then it's like 15 years later and they never like picked up anything physical again. You're like, well, where's the rest of the story? You're like, well, that's the end of it. I gained 60 pounds and here I am today. And, you know, it'd be great for people to do stuff that will encourage them to get back into it whether it be walking sauna just whatever the things are that can make you feel good enough to go and do

the thing that you like to do i'm just i'm laughing because uh one of the uh the niners o-line uh mcglinchey i think is his name he keeps getting beat but I was just reading one of the Twitter comments and someone was like I was an undersized lineman in high school and I could do da da da and I'm like you're comparing a high school anyway sorry it just made me laugh but the real question I have for you guys and this one's

gonna it could take a minute my biggest hurdle when it came to pain was if I go do that that's gonna hurt even without even trying it i gotta pick up my phone holy shit this is gonna hurt because what would happen i would go reach for it this is a whole different podcast i know i'm sorry that's why i said i'm like well because this is with everything like um like why don't you should go to the doctor get that

checked out and you're like nah like you don't want to give me bad news yeah he's he's not gonna understand like he's not gonna get it you know they don't they don't normally treat people that do trt or they don't normally help bodybuilders or they don't i'm not gonna go to a chiropractor doesn't understand bodybuilders and power like it's a fucking chiropractor like they got a lot of experience they work with a lot of different people you're a human machine they've know they've worked on your type before but so what i was getting at is sometimes the mental side of things is also going to hold us back so when you do hurt something uh what's your guys best advice on breaking that uh that's gonna hurt so i'm not even gonna bother it bother with it or

that's gonna hurt yep i told you see it hurts because there's been times like in sema like what happens if you just like you know touch the floor i'm like oh i just do it like that he's like okay that didn't hurt i'm like no the fuck i'm like but watch this and like i put my phone down on a chair and i'm like that hurt because i was prepared for it to hurt now because talking with him i'm kind of like no this is gonna be fine i'll just you know kind of the way you're talking about when you're sneezing you're like it's i just do it now i'm just like i just do it and i'm like i'm good and so that's really what i've been doing with jiu-jitsu too is like this is just not gonna hurt right now yeah but anyway so sorry uh with that in mind breaking that mental habit what do you guys have for that and there's there's something

i uh i was thinking about the other day too. It's seeking discomfort leads to improvement. And I think that, let me rewind real quick, because we know that if you're someone who's sedentary and you pay a lot of attention to your food and you make sure not to overeat, you can drop weight. But the way that we try to go about things is we try to implement habits that allow us not to have to think about our diets so that we can be in good shape and live pain-free. So we're coming at it from the, what are you doing on a daily basis? What are your habits? And something that's been really helpful for me with everything has been the idea of going into areas that I'm not – I don't feel good. I don't have the best feedback all the time.

It's not good. But if I can improve at that, that will lead me to a better spot. That's what was going on with the lower back. And that's what's gone on with a lot of things. I would go into ranges of motion that felt really uncomfortable, that maybe felt somewhat painful, that my brain didn't think was safe. I'd work through those. And over time, those movements and those ranges aren't challenging. And over time, it opened up different movement functions of my body because I went into something that was slightly uncomfortable.

That's why like when it comes to the cold plunge or the sauna, my thing is like how cold can I make it so that I can get used to that? Because I know that if I can get used to that, it'll be better for me in the long run. In the sauna, how fucking long can I stay in here? Because I know that if I can just get very uncomfortable i'll get used to that and when i get used to that the other side of that is going to be is going to be development but when you're doing something and you're you're always apprehensive of it being uncomfortable or not being good at it or being difficult it's not easy to progress because you're always staying away from anything that is uncomfortable. So I think it's a shift of your mindset where challenge is going

to be good, not challenge is going to lead me down to pain, discomfort, injury, and just not good things. I think pain and pleasure come from the same spot in your brain. And a lot of times when you go through something painful, then it solves a problem for you, then you're happy. It's like you wake up and your back is super stiff, and you're like, man, the last thing I want to do is get wet, like go in the shower or go into the cold plunge. But 20 minutes later, you feel fine, you're like shocked at how good you feel. Like, oh, you're like, oh, I thought I I thought I wrecked myself.

I thought I was actually like injured. And now I feel OK. Like, OK, this is weird. I think, you know, we're talking about here is a really deep rooted issue and pain and weight gain, they are synonymous. Like where you find extreme levels of weight gain, you're going to find a lot of pain. You're going to find like a lot of mental pain, sometimes physical pain. But more often than not, when someone's like 100 pounds overweight, 200 pounds overweight, there's some sort of trauma that something happened somewhere along the lines that was either interpreted as a negative influence on them, interpreted as a negative trauma. Or it doesn't matter how like legit it is or how like legit you judge it not to be.

It doesn't matter in either direction. Like the worst thing that happens to somebody is the worst thing that ever happened to them. And doesn't matter in either direction. Like the worst thing that happens to somebody is the worst thing that ever happened to them. And they just feel crummy. They feel shitty about it and they can't figure out a way to, you know, get moving forward. And so it is the battle, you know, the battle that we have is not really against, it's not really against like processed foods. It's not really against just trying to figure out how to get people to move more. It's more about what's going on inside someone's body mentally and or physically, like which one came first. Kind of hard to tell, you know, what came first as a person.

Just do they think they feel bad or do they actually feel bad? I guess it doesn't matter. They're 200 pounds overweight and we need to figure out something to get them encouraged to move more. And so I think what I would recommend and suggest is I think everyone has like some sort of fitness person around them somewhere. Some sort of person in the family that's educated on nutrition, some friend that there's somebody, there's somebody somewhere that does yoga. There's somebody somewhere that does something in the family where I think everyone can kind of point to, or, or it's a friend. And you can say, you know what, I'm going to finally talk to them and just, you know, I'm just going to let my guard down. And like, I don't think they're going to,

I don't think they're going to point and yell and make fun of me I think they'll actually be pumped that I you know went to them for some help and so that would be the best thing that you could ever have I think is encouragement and if you remember we played that clip of that little kid I think it was a girl she was like on her bike and she was like doing that thing or maybe she was on a skateboard yeah she had that little ramp, I think it was a girl, she was like on her bike and she was like doing that thing. Or maybe she was on a skateboard. Yeah, she had that little ramp and the dad kept encouraging her over and over and over.

And it's like, well, you know, you can do it or you don't have to do it, but you're not going to get the joy of riding the skateboard by sitting inside. You're not going to get the joy of riding the skateboard without getting hurt a couple of times. You're going to fall probably. And learning to ride a bike you know we you go through those processes in life with many different things and uh in order to enjoy the bike and in order to joy

into in order to enjoy snowboarding in order to enjoy uh even something like a motorcycle it's like you're probably gonna have some story where you got fucked up a couple times and hopefully it was not anything too crazy. But in order to get what you want, a lot of times you're going to have to go through things that are going to be uncomfortable and sometimes they can be painful. Yeah.

Pain and gain? Pain and gain. Pain, no gain. Pain and gain. I pain and gain pain no gain pain and gain i sent you a picture of my foot too oh what the fuck did i just do it's not you it's not that it's not that bad it's um i think i exaggerated but it it's uh it's definitely like black and blue and it's like not moving very well and when i try to move it it fucking hurts um but i don't know I don't know what I did to it I just was like fuck man I only just stubbed it on like one of those red and black boxes

you know the ones that have the little things coming out of the sides yeah there you go yikes so when you're running right now I guess those Nikes do help because they have a lot of padding but does it feel wonky when you're walking around like do you have to walk a bit carefully

right now too yeah I have to pay attention to it a little bit I gotta keep my foot really straight which actually is probably a good thing but other than that it's not too bad when I was running on the beach I was barefoot so I could feel it on the beach quite a bit okay sheesh I think I sent you something else too When I was running on the beach, I was barefoot, and so I could feel it on the beach quite a bit.

Sheesh. I think I sent you something else, too. Yeah, you did. I was responding to something. You sent me this. Oh, yeah. This is a little cycle thing that you can have at your desk. So for people that are sitting, or I guess you could use use this watching tv you can just fucking move your feet around and um i actually bought a couple of these for people for christmas we keep motherfuckers moving so

you're fat take this yeah i'm joking you're not moving enough oh that's actually a really good idea i've seen those before if you're sitting and you could just do that like yeah chris uh chris williamson has one and he said that because he still edits a lot of his own stuff which is crazy in of itself oh wow but uh he's like yeah i burned 1400 calories just like sitting there doing some of my editing this editing this week i was like that's fucking sick to do that. That thing will become passive though. Like initially you'll be thinking about it, but after a few weeks, days or weeks,

it's just a passive thing you're doing while you're typing, taking notes. That's great. Yeah. I mean, just figure out ways to, as we've always kind of talked about here, is kind of microdosing your fitness. And if you're figuring out ways

of doing that with your nutrition too, you're getting in good amounts of protein, then it just makes the diet, it makes everything just that much easier. It doesn't have to be so difficult all the time. Yeah. Did you guys want to play this clip? Oh, yeah. Yeah.

Yeah, pain and gain. Almost grabbed it. This is great. It's a good movie. Well well at least a good intro way to prove yourself is to better yourself yeah the whole movie is not amazing is it not well i have no sympathy for people who squander their gifts it's sickening i love how he's just looking at her so judgmental, and then he gives her a thumbs up. His name's Mark. That's right.

It happens. I was young. I was a rich kid, lived two blocks over. Little prick had a new bike every Christmas. Your ashes are looking great. Why does that sound like Trump? That really sounds like him. It was probably the inspiration behind it, maybe. I knew that wasn't ever going to happen unless I did something about it.

Let's go, Seth. Come on, Falcon. What's going on, DL? You've been unfocused all day, man. Look at that outfit. You're tired of being where you are, Adrian? No, I kind of like it here. Your weight's a noob.

I mean, in life, man. Where you are in life. Look at us, man. Where you are in life. Look at us, man. Superman. Games. You deserve better. I do. Oh, yeah.

Come on. I love that part. Here we go. Come on. That's why when these roids kick into this chocolate mask, baby. Yeah. I'm going to be unstoppable. I ain't cleaning up after nobody, Taco.

So if you fucked up your collarbone and you're in a sling or you separate your shoulder or did something, you could still train the right side, which you might think that you might turn out like lopsided or something.
