Right before you start your workout, what's a good one? The next question, this person says, when's a good time to use a lifting belt?

And when should you not use a lifting belt? The third question, this person wants to know what the optimal way is to rest in between sets. Resting in between sets is very important for your results. So we talk about the best ways to do that. And the final question, this person wants to know, when we were trainers, what was our niche? What was our niche?

Yeah, all the mere cups flew. Oh, wow.

Yeah, finally. Oh, your first cup doesn't count. What's it? Yeah, cup zero. Cup zero. Yeah, those did really well. Oh, they have cool colors that they picked. You know, to kind of revamp those,

I was excited about that. I got one for Courtney. You know what those mere cups are really valuable for? What's that? The temperature contrast of our damn studio. Oh, I know, right? This is like, okay, so if you're listening right now and you ever become a guest on Mind Pump,

here's what you'll notice, outside the studio freezing. Inside the studio, balls, hot as balls. So outside freezing, inside, literally, it's just one door. And the opposite is true in the summertime. And in the summer, we switch it. Yeah. Yeah. So we're training our immune systems Yeah.

Apparently on accident. I guess it's like muscle confusion. Yeah. Yeah. Temperature. Yeah. I'm like sweating like crazy right now. But then I came in here and a jacket or whatever. I saw you guys. I saw you were you were last or was dug hasn't got his up there actually. For what? I bidded the post on the Christmas trees in the forum.

Oh, yeah, I did post mine. Doug doesn't have a Christmas tree. Oh, you the Grinch, you fucking Grinch. He doesn't believe in Christmas celebrating. Wow. Yeah. Wow. I have a tree. Oh, you are okay. Do you really? I mean it has a really nice one actually. I bought a noble fur this year. Oh, I usually got the Douglas fur, you are okay. Do you really happy me didn't put it has a really nice one actually I bought a noble fur this year Oh, I usually got the Douglas fur, you know for obvious reasons, but I don't know the obvious reason So my name is Douglas you dummy

But I feel noble this yeah you felt regal Yeah, you know I you know why I didn't know because he was talking to you Adam and you know so much about these trees I'm gonna last you you were breaking down all the Christmas trees I'm like I never know why he does so much about Christmas trees He does all the different like three of them for my favorite Christmas tree posted in the forum was the guy who decorated his weed plant Oh, that was so good. Yes. No, he wins He put lights around his he wins that was the best one for sure That's a good one.

You know, it's so mind-pump-esque, right? Then we have some of these nerds in here. We had somebody who had the Zelda tree. Then we had another one that had the Mario star on top. Oh, that's great. Oh, that's so right. That's a good time. So we put notes up on the screen sometimes for our episodes.

And I want to know what aged nut cheese is. Yes. So that you just did. Yeah, bro. I figure. He posted it. He posted a story. What is it? I did, so okay, I went to my parents' house and I was picking my kids up.

They watched them for one of the nights of the weekend. Courtney, I got a date, everything was great. Come over there. My mom always likes to leave me with stuff that like, I don't know, she just acquires food. She knows I got eat gluten-free a lot. She knows like I eat gluten free a lot. And so she's always looking for these like disgusting packaged food that say gluten free.

Like here, you like this stuff. It's like, I don't, I don't just cause it says gluten free. Usually it just goes right into the trash, you know, when I get home. But yeah, there was no exception with this. I actually tried this cheese. It's a cheese, it's called, was an aged nut cheese. So it's basically like nut, instead of dairy, there's no dairy and it's nut cheese,

but I was like, nut cheese? I was just like, there's no dairy in it. It's no dairy, it's made with nuts. You can make cheese without dairy? I mean, I was like, I didn't even know that was possible. Oh my God, and so I had to try it and do anything. It was so disgusting. It was like, it had the consistency of like,

if you hardened some kind of a butter, like, cause you know, nuts, you're gonna make like a peanut butter. So imagine like freezing that. So you can get it to kind of get the consistency of like kind of a sliced cheese, and then it just dissolved sort of in your mouth, and then it's got a cheese after taste.

And those are just like, wow. So confused. How well does your mom know you? Like you're a cheese fanatic. It's gluten you can't eat. Why would you give you that? Dude, I can't make sense out of it. I didn't know that existed.

I didn't know that. I did. That's when I was trying to describe. It's weird. It's like it just confuses you. Yeah, they probably took nut butter and then fermented it. Yeah. And then is that it right there?

Yeah. Oh, what is that? I mean, hands down, this has the worst name of all time. Who wants like, hey bro, can you pass me some net cheese? No, no, if a guy didn't gobble up that net cheese. I don't know about you guys, but if any of my friends ever said that, it's all no. Yeah, hard, no. That's my friends ever said that, it's all no. Yeah, it's hard, no.

That's a hard pass. This, yeah. Disgusting. I've tried fake cheese before and it's terrible. There's no fake cheese I've ever had that tastes like real cheese. And, like, velvita. Well, that's different. Yeah, velvita.

Yeah, but velvita, they hit the process, miracle. It's like plastic, dude. Yeah, but you eat that on nachos, though. Oh my God, I can't hear from Velvita. Yeah, you guys ate Velvita like crazy, right Adam? Of course, you know, you get that at like the, you know, what are those called? I don't even remember what we used to call when you go to the,

you wait in line, you get free groceries and free food. So that Velvita cheese is like commonly in there. Really? Yeah. And now it came in like a block? Yeah, it came in like a blue box, I remember, a blue box like this, and it looks like a mini fire log. Yeah.

And what did you do, just slice it? Well, we used it for like a fondue. My mom used to always make a fondue out of it. So you just get a pot heated up in there? Yeah, yeah, you dip your bread in it. Super healthy. She has like hard oil. heated up in there. Yeah, yeah, you dip your bread in it. Super healthy. It's like hard oil. And that's dinner.

Yeah. We got some bread, it's a cheese. Oh my god, dude. Dip it in there. Gross. I think back to like some of our healthy meals were like fried chicken and mashed potatoes and gravy was like our healthy meal.

That's actually delicious. Yeah, it was good. Yeah, that's one of the best things things. Yeah, I want more. I'm going to get down for sure. That's pretty damn good. Hey, so things are getting kind of weird out there. Did you guys hear about the rules in Ohio for wrestlers?

What? Okay. Oh, I did hear this. This is the shit that makes you can wrestle but you can't shake their hand afterwards. That's almost as ridiculous when I see the married couples walking by themselves like their dog both wearing their mask and then they pretend to kiss with their stupid mask.

I'm like, wait, this doesn't make sense to me. You're all by yourself. There's nobody within a hundred yards of you. You're walking your dogs together. There's two of you. You obviously are a married couple, like holding hands and stuff like that and you're both wearing mask. It doesn't make any sense to me. People who wear masks is just the whole environment is riddled with illogical thoughts. It's in people who wear masks by themselves, probably wear condoms when they jerk off.

It's the same strategy, like you're not protecting anybody or yourself, I don't get it. But no, this highlights the insanity of the rules. I wish there would be more consistent because the inconsistencies is what makes people not follow any of them. You're wrestling. Last time I checked, wrestling was touching a lot of grabbing

and touching my faces on your ass and your face and we're sweating on each other. Don't shake hands though. We can't shake any of that. Don't do that. That's how you get it. You guys see the Austin mayor in hot water? water. No, he was I'm over watching Drain the I'm seriously going mental over this. Oh, you'll love this one Justin

So he filmed like he was talking to the people of Austin and he's like hey, you know Don't travel this holiday season. It's very dangerous, everybody stay home, filming it from Cabo. Oh yeah. Yeah. You guys stay right there, was it obvious? Or did somebody call him out? No, you got called out. Oh my God.

And then you apologize later. Really? He was in Cabo. This is so stupid, there's so many examples. That's epic. The most like the hardest governors mayors, like they're not doing any of these rules. Yeah, dude Look at him. That's his that's his video. He was a cop out while he was recording the whole thing

What a piece of shit. I know Massive piece of shit. I work so everywhere. What I don't understand is if you're doing something like that right or if like you're Gavin and you have it like why even come out and even say anything? Like why not just keep your mouth shut? Cause they want to sound stuff righteous. They want to sound like they have everybody's like well intentions. There's the common sense in that though. Tell me okay, so you're, you're told, maybe you're told, right?

Maybe someone calls you up and says, you know, you need a new world order. Yeah. The lesser people call it. Yeah, the lesser people call and say, you need to put this out there. You're like, fuck, I'm in cobble right now. This is not a good time.

Yeah. Yeah. Exactly. Who's like, don't you, doesn't that like cross it? It's free convenient. Doesn't that cross your mind? No, it doesn't. I mean, could you have pre-recorded it?

Right, right, exactly. Come on. Change the background or something. What a clean screen it. Yeah, exactly. A complete moron. No, it's just, it's infuriating. It's completely infuriating.

I'm sorry. You got it. It's completely infuriating. I'm sorry. You got it. It's like, imagine like you're telling your kid, you're like, hey man, don't do drugs and you're doing drugs at the same time. Yeah, it's one of the main lining over there in the corner. Yeah, it's not a good example. Hey, I watched Doug.

Doug always has the best recommendation. So when you guys leave work, Doug and I sit and talk about like TV shows. You guys bond, but yeah, we don't share with you guys. Those guys watch way too much nerdy TV. What do you watch in Doug? What do you watch in Adam? sit and talk about like TV shows. That was bomb, but yeah, we don't share with you guys. Right. Those guys watch way too much nerdy TV. What do you watch and Doug? What do you watch in Adam?

Doug, turn me on to Queen's Gambit. That's not nerdy at all. So good. Yeah, the name doesn't sound like chess. The name doesn't sound like chess. The name doesn't sound like chess. Queen's Gambit, that sounds exciting. So good, yeah.

What's it about? Is it about Queen's and Gambit? Yeah, it's about chess. And it was really good. It was really, really good. It's well written, yeah, yeah. What's it about? Is it about Queens and Gambit? It's about chess. It was really good. It was really, really, it's well written. That's why. It really is about court.

Yeah, courty loved it. Oh, she watched it. Yeah, she watched the whole thing. So, did you not watch it? No, she watched it without me. She's like, you probably wouldn't like this. Ah! Okay, all right.

No, it's so good. So, what's the story about? So, it's about a girl who is an orphan who learns how to play chess from a janitor and then ends up being a world class chess player. And it's kind of like her story and how she becomes this world. And during a time, what's the era of W? You'd say 30s?

No, it's around the 1950s. 50s, okay, so around the 50s. And so, you know, at that point, there's not even a woman playing chess at that level, right? Yeah, I think 50s and 60s. Yeah, so it's a cool story. It's a really, really good story. I was busy watching Alien Worlds on Netflix.

Did you watch that, yeah, Justin? I did watch a little bit. Tell me that was a court. Of course, so it's terrific transition. It's trippy. Dude, Alien Worlds. So, you know what it is? It's okay.

So, here's what's crazy. When I was a kid, when I was like 12, my uncle, my godfather, right? And he always bought me things that were really cool. And he got me this book on alien planets on what scientists could imagine aliens would be like on different planets. So like on this planet with lots of gravity, what would the life look like? On this planet where there's these types of gas is what would the aliens look like? On this planet where there's these types of gas is what would the aliens look like?

So I had this book and I loved it when I was a kid. Anyway, this show on Netflix is the same thing, but even better because the technology's better. They have better speculations. So they have artists rendering all these like animals and like kind of merging primates with like all these other characteristics of their environment.

So interesting. Oh, so rad, dude. So you're watching it. And it's like watching animal planet, but on a fictitious planet. Totally made up. Totally made up. Yeah. Yeah, it was a lot.

Just an ademist like said. Yeah. No, that's what Doug and I talked about. I mean, every once in a while, we all align. There's shit like Mandalorian. There's nobody in here that doesn't like Mandalorian, right? We've just done your impression. Yeah, I'm a fan.

Yeah, I mean, we're like, there's certain shows that that doesn't like Mandalorian, right? We, Doug, you're a fan? Yeah, I'm a fan. Yeah, I mean, we're like, there's certain shows that I think just, I think hit all of us really well and then there's stuff that like you guys like and there's stuff I think Doug and I have to do. Can we talk about Mandalorian? Can we, or are we? Best episode yet.

I feel like it because, you know, I looked on there, it's real. If you're a real fan and they show all the spoilers potentially or whatever, they're putting it out. Yeah, so we're gonna do some spoilers, but if you're a real fan, you should see the it out. Yeah, so we're gonna do some spoiler. Come on, it's too steep. You're a real fan, you should see the fun out there. It's Tuesday.

It's actually Thursday. Oh, it's Thursday actually. Yeah, thanks Doug. He had a few days buffer there. Yeah, come on, give it a hug. If you're a week behind a man of law and you're not that big of a fan. Hey, so how good was the last episode?

Oh, I was my favorite one yet. Dude, I'll be all 32 minutes. That made me nervous. I know, right? That was the only thing. Like, ooh, just cut us high and drive. Dude, I'll be all 32 minutes. That made me know. I know, right? That was the only thing. Like, ooh, just cut us high and drive. Dude, but when they showed Boba, I was like, did you jump out of your truck?

I didn't know if they're gonna bring him back, you know? Cause there was all this, so you get the armor and what not. And the other guy had it. And I was like, oh man, it'd been cool if they brought Boba fit back, but I didn't want it to be contrived. I mean, just forced in there. I didn't know that was him until this morning when you guys brought that up.

He was watching the episode, you know, when you said that. He said his name multiple times. He did? Yeah. Like four times. Yeah. I don't even remember him saying his name. Yeah. How much weed did you have before you watched it?

This is possible. This is possible. This is possible. This is possible. Yeah, because I didn't, I guess you just have to be so into all that stuff to remember. I don't remember that. You do have to do a little research and that's, I think that's maybe a knock for you just average watcher viewer, but it's, I think it's really cool that they're tying in all these things because it just brings more depth.

Now that weapon that he was wielding, like the staff or whatever, did he have that in the previous one? I don't think so. I don't remember that either. That thing was awesome. He was shattering. He was shattering.

He was shattering that thing. Yeah, he was shattering the, what are they called? Stormtroopers? There you go, different helmets. By the way, can Stormtroopers ever hit anything? It's never, it never happened. No, of course not.

Well, actually, I was watching in Mando, you know, he was getting hit a few times, but he has the best car, so they kind of did that. That's the only time they have a good name. Yeah, just straight on, he was even avoiding it. Hey, I got some conspiracy stuff to bring up. Oh boy. Do the music.

Conspiracy music. Pew, pew, pew. So this is pretty funny to me. So my uncle is like this huge conspiracy theory guy, right? And he's telling me about... Oh, so it runs in the family. So, well, he's a, okay, remember, he's a Chinese medicine guy. So he can do, he can certify in Chinese medicine.

He's got a wellness... And this is before it was cool. So remember, he was doing the ship in the 70s and 80s. Yeah, sure. So he's always like weary of anything that's main. Skeptical. So every time he sends me something, I look it up first. Like he's sent me stuff before, like, you know, this copper bracelet balances out your whatever.

And I'm like, okay, whatever. But anyway, he sent me this thing and he said, do you know that the vaccine's gonna contain this enzyme in it, this bioeluminousin's enzyme, and the name of the enzyme is Luciferase. Luciferase. Luciferase. Really?

Luciferase. Really? That's the actual thing. I can't believe it. I guess it's just like so in your face. So okay, knowing you, you go deep into something. So after, when you saw that, did you go read about it? Like what happened?

How does something like that end up? Because it's bioeluminescence. So apparently this enzyme can make things illuminate. And so the, now here's the conspiracy theories, theorists are saying that when you get this particular vaccine, the COVID vaccine, which by the way, they're talking about administer when you get this particular vaccine, the COVID vaccine, which by the way, they're talking about administering it, not the traditional way with an injection, but rather, have you seen these things?

They look like little band aids with tiny, tiny, tiny needles. So you'll get it in the mail, you'll put it on your arm. It's like the, what's it called, the little white, the patch that's glucose monitor. Even smaller. Yeah, I can tell you a glucose monitor. Even smaller. Yeah, I can see you know, glucose monitor. Even smaller. Oh wow. So it's like tons and tons of these little tiny needles that they have copied the things of like a cobra based off.

But they're really, really small. You put it on your arm and they're saying that the conspiracy theorist is saying that you'll be able to see if you've had the vaccine by passing a light over your arm because you'll get the bio luminescence. But the name is hilarious. If you're a conspiracy theorist and someone's like, hey, here's something, we're gonna inject in you

that you're already totally feel like is a conspiracy. And then it's called Lucifer Ace. Yeah. Okay, so just a few questions with this, right? So you say you have this bio luminescence in your system. How long does that stay in your system? How long can you even scan the logistics of that doesn't make any sense?

I have no idea, but then apparently there's nanotechnology that they'll put in there. Right, and all kinds of stuff. I watch the whole fun video on it. So what's your prediction? What do you guys think? Do you think it's gonna be like a, so do you think it's not gonna be mandatory,

but then there's gonna be lots of private businesses that require it in order to have access? That's what I think, that's what it's gonna look like. Yeah, I don't think it'll be mandatory unless a lot of people don't get it. And here's, no, okay, now let's throw away the conspiracy hat now. You're right.

Legit, like if I was in control of public policy, especially in a country like America, I would not make it mandatory because I feel like that would- It's unconstitutional. Well, not just that. That would really, believe it or not, the Supreme Court ruled a long time ago that they could mandate vaccines. That's crazy. I know.

But anyway, here's a deal. If you want a whole segment of the population to not get a vaccine and to fight tooth and nail, just make it mandatory. Yeah. You know, because you're just going to make it, make them dig their heels in. Yeah. Why putting in the various kind of like intent? Why not? Like, it's something that you want people to go get, right? Like, let's, let's, let's have that as an option and have everybody celebrate it. Yeah. So I feel like that would be worse. Now, let's say the vaccine comes out and a lot of people don't get it for a while, then maybe what they would do is something like, because I don't know if the federal government

they don't have necessarily the power to do that. States could do it. States could say, you have to have a mandatory vaccine because they have the state police and all that kind of stuff. But I could foresee them saying stuff like, you're not allowed to fly. Some states may say you need to have proof of vaccine to enter into our state or to leave the state or to attend public school or to get public checks

or that kind of stuff. I could see that kind of stuff later on, but I don't know how they would make it like besides that, man. Yeah, what's okay, so it's like, why call it Luciferous to your store now? Like, what an asshole. I think it's kind of like,

I just want all the like, it's a real like, yeah, like religious people out there to just freak out. Yeah, like they're like they're in the background laughing. Yeah, you just got the mark of the beast. Yeah, let's name it like yeah New World Order ice If you two were scientists you would do some shit like that. You don't act like you wouldn't do that as whole move

It is an easter egg. You would totally do that. You'd be like this is gonna be funny shit Yeah, we're gonna name it these and it's still put it in anyways We're called the new vaccine is called commie covid Yeah, you guys watch this yeah, everybody freak out Wait a minute the bar is old me the bar code for the vaccine is six six six Come on, man, you just like emphasizing all the hysteria. Yeah, it's pretty it's pretty annoying They do that shit on. You just like emphasizing all this hysteria. Yeah, it's pretty annoying.

You guys, it was good. I wasn't talking about the fans only. Oh, yeah. I did see that. I did see that. That's a billion dollar. I told you, I've been sitting there for a long time when that first started out.

So it's a specific company that does that? Yeah. Wow. Yeah, no, they're raking it in. And they make 20%. So I didn't until I read that article, I didn't know how they making their money. Yeah. So they're making 20% of it. god's crazy though. I mean just by host so what did the article say two billion dollar?

Yeah, wow yeah, so I mean just a few of those right the one you mentioned that was like used to be a Disney star that like converted over Milo Thorne. Yeah millions. I know a few days so so basically what Help me out with this Adam. I know, I feel like I need to join so I can better educate it on one of these. Oh, I thought you'd do it already. No, I had to. I have not. So I got one up just for my feet.

Yeah. Just as you guys want. You guys want to check it out. Yeah. Hammer toes. Yeah, it's a very niche market. But the way it works is opposite. Yeah.

You pay me to not pay me. I can send it to your co-workers. You know, you do whatever you want. Yes. It's a gift that keeps giving. Friday is big toe. You pay me to not pay me. I get sent it to your co-workers. You do whatever you want with. It's a gift that keeps giving. Friday is big toe Friday. I train articulatum Friday. Tuesday is yellow toe day all Tuesday.

Disgusting. No, so how does it work? They host this and then they allow you to connect with fans, they pay you. So they process the whole thing. Essentially you go on there, you sign up, they take care of everything and then you just, they process the whole thing. Essentially, you go on there, you sign up, they take care of everything, and then you just, they just take 20%.

Yeah, I mean, I'm, I, from what I'm aware of, I really don't have access to one, so I don't know, but I should, I feel like. Uh, for research, for research. I'm talking to you. I could treat you. This is for the podcast. What are you looking at?

I was like, what's really going on in there? This is for podcast content, honey. Relax. Uh, yeah, no, I think it Yeah, no, I think it's I Think it's real similar to any like paid wall You know like a patreon or anything like that where you just you pay and because the the the consume or excuse me the creator Decides how much they want to charge so you could just since toes are probably worth I don't know $20 a month I'd say yeah, so right right well to not see Doug's nudes might be worth more like $50 a month or so.

So it's called smooth nudes. It's not good. Smooth, smooth, smooth. Yeah, it does like crash videos. Wow, if you ask them. Smooth, smooth, smooth nudes. For slash smooth. Get your first three months free. smooths, smooths, smooths, dot com forward slash smooth. Okay. Okay. Okay.

Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay.

Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay.

Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. or it's they're making that money just from hosting these creators. Because obviously you're trafficking that many people through there. It opens up a huge potential for advertising. Well, so think about it this way. Let's say you're a B-list celebrity. You're not A-list, right?

You're B-list, so you're in movies. And then your acting career kind of start to dry up. Easy way to make millions of dollars. Easy, you don't even need to be that. I mean, you don't need to be an actor. You just gotta be hot. You just gotta be, yeah, good looking Instagram. Well, yeah, but if you're good looking Instagram person

and it's got a few hundred thousand followers is already making big money. Yeah, but if you're like somewhat known people are more, they wanna see the person that they've seen on TV. I don't know. So, the Hollywood's business. Aren't we in the shift right now? I mean, is Hollywood that famous anymore?

I don't think so. Like, I feel like if you picked a, I bet if you grabbed a 20 year old kid and said, name me 10 famous actors and or 10 Instagram stars. Or YouTube celebrities. Yeah, right, or like YouTube, like I bet you they can be 100% dude.

It's all shifted to YouTube and Instagram. Yeah. I mean, look, for instance, the Logan Paul thing, look at this. Oh, he's got, you know, he's like, may weather a grunt to this. Bro, I could not believe that. I'm like, I'm done. So I'm gonna say this, okay, so remember this episode. By the way, Adam.

Okay, yeah, remember this episode. You can see that. It appears you may have been right. Ha ha ha. Okay. I don't even get like a full like you were right. It's just like a peer in a Bayer. It appears maybe. It's trending and I'm right.

Very likely. We have to recount the ballots, but it looks like you're the projected winner of that opinion. It could take months. No, I mean, this is crazy to me. Mayweather agreed to fight Logan Paul in an exhibition. Now, if I'm a boxer, like, and I've been fighting my infuriate

and getting punched and doing all that shit for years, I would be so mad. Yeah, you know, it's interesting that Mayweather took that because isn't it kind of making a mockery of the sport? Yes. I mean, if this was any other sport, you would feel like it was almost disrespectful, right?

I feel like for boxing, for boxing purists, Mayweather is ruining, am I opinion he's running around? You know, we should call up our buddy Tony. It's been a while since we talked to Tony. Tony, a good person to ask questions around like this. He's been doing videos about all this. Oh, he's annoyed by the types of fights. Oh, I haven't, I haven't caught up on his stuff.

He's annoyed by it. Oh, he is. Oh, yeah, right. That's right. He's on a stop. He's annoyed by it. Oh, he is. Of course. Oh, yeah. Right. That's right. He's a purest. Yeah. He's a limpian. Well, I know. Exactly. So it's kind of it. It is. It's, it is a totally. You know why? Because Mayweather is not agreeing to fight any real boxers. You know, so if you're a real boxer, you and you're good, you want to fight him. And he's saying no to everybody. And he's agreeing to fight. Yeah. Logan Paul, which so it's all about

the money is what he's basically putting out. We've always known that right. He's never in that. And he's never tried to hide that either. He has it in his defense. But I mean, when you're named, because may whether, let's be honest, one of the greatest boxers of all time, it really is. Yeah. But when you put his name up there with all the other greats, it's going to tarnish his name

and then again, for the people in the sport, that's got to be infuriating the people who love the sport. But look, you know, it's a, it's a, it's a, it doesn't have a lot of money. Like, like, what does he spend it all? Like, why the, the need for it? Well, I don't think he's got good money management. Yeah.

Let's be honest. Well, I'm, I didn't even bet like, I don't know how many, little crazy, other stupid shit. Well, so here's what I hope happens.

I hope he goes in the ring with Logan Paul and then actually kicks his ass, but I have a feeling he's going to fuck with him to make it fun. We look at, look at happen with him in, uh, in Connor. Yeah, he'll let him get his shots like that. And he'll dance around. He'll fight how he's fought every fight. Like that's, I mean, may whether it's not the type to come in, put his head down and

just go, you know, to knock somebody out. Yeah, he's really knocked you know. What he's, what he's famous for is being old to a lube punches. So that's what he's gonna do is he's gonna go on, because I mean, what a master of that. What's their weight difference? Oh yeah, he's got to be weight bigger.

Oh yeah, Logan Paul's got to have at least 60 pounds on him. So they're not even in the same weight class, but he feel I'm sure Mayweather knows that he can go in there and get the kid to miss punch after punch after punch. And he just time up and turn his back to him and do all that shit that we saw last time. What I am interested, and here's the thing, like that's his sit, like there's a part of me

that will watch it, dude. Of course, yeah, that's, you know, and we're not alone. Now here's the deal, Logan Paul, Logan, if you're Logan Paul, your goal is to go in there and put him asleep. Because if you knock out Mayweather, oh my God, right? So he's gonna go in there and he's gonna try. He's gonna try hard.

Now, you guys realize that this is what the movie Rocky was based off of, right? This actually happened with Tu Ali. Ali did a fight with a kind of no-name guy. I think Chuck Weppner was the guy's name. Yeah. That you ever watched the documentary on him? Great documentary. Probably. Yeah, yeah you ever watched the documentary on him? Great documentary. Probably.

Yeah, yeah. Looked that up, Doug. There's a name. I don't know if it's called Chuck Webner's documentary or it has a different name. I think it has a different name. Really good documentary on him. Yeah, just Chuck Webner's nickname was the Brongton Bleeder. Yes.

You know, he wasn't the greatest boxer all the time. But he went in Muhammad Ali, obviously the greatest boxer of all time. One of the greatest was playing with him and weapon her, caught him and knocked him on his butt. And then Ali put a beating on him, but beat the guy and the guy would not go down. So he gained their respect to the crowd. And this is this is them. So so that's just alone a young, so that's just alone was watching this fight. And that's what inspired him to write the story for Rocky because that's the story of Rocky, right? Yeah, right. Yeah, right.

Exhibition bout and Creed is like, this is a, you know, I'm gonna kick this guy's ass and end up beating him for 15 rounds and couldn't put him down. Oh, it's called the real Rocky. Maybe that's what it is. Wow. Yeah, yeah, that was really good.

Yeah, really, really good. Yeah, but I don't know, man, there's a whole big, there's a whole, it's a whole nother universe when you go from like, you know, Logan Paul who can punch hard to world class. Yeah. So what do you think it's gonna do to the sport of boxing, though? You think it's gonna completely change it

or do you think it's gonna open up a different, you know, a whole different like a league? Boxing's been hurting for a long time. Let's be honest. No, it has. And of course, MMA has really, like, accelerated that, right? The last big, like, like like boxers that really pulled people was like what Pacquiao

I'm trying to think right now. Who's a lot the last box? Everybody want to watch. He's amazing to watch but nobody's watching No, I don't feel like well think think of how all sports of a ball like you you basketball It's like the crazy pass and the the dunk, you know Football is now. I mean, we're just watching my homes is like record that he's setting right now for how many passing yards and so many games consecutive, like it wasn't even that long ago in the NFL that it was all run, run, run, just put it now it's like pass like crazy. So this all sports like evolved to let's more

entertaining be whole runs and baseball drove all the the Sammy Soso, McGuire thing, right? Boxing hasn't really changed that much. MMA was the closest thing that's kind of evolved that are changed. That's an interesting thought, because that was what saved from the lockout, with baseball, that's what saved the sport, was the home run race.

That's the whole thing. Remember, they're all funded by spectators. So it's all, the audience is really driving what they do. And we wanted these super fights with like experienced world class boxes. Maybe they're older and past their prime, but like that was sort of a thing. But now it's a YouTube star with old, you know,

world class boxers weird. It's kind of just a natural evolution, I feel like. You're probably right. Yeah. I feel like you know what would be good then? In that case, thinking right now, let's just imagine you were gonna start a fight company. I bet if you started a fight company, it's somewhere in the world and made it the non-drug

tested fight. You know, whatever. That would be awesome. I feel like everybody would watch that. All of our fights to be pride. Yeah. None of our fighters are drug tested. They could take whatever they want, you know, and they get in the cage by, oh my god,

I want to watch that. Oh, his monsters go out. Yeah, I mean, if you're just a, if you're, you know, nothing they get in the cage by, oh my God, I want to watch that. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, if you're just a, if you're, uh, you have, you know, nothing about the sport of boxing, and which is what percentage of people that watch the sport, do you think are like super fans versus people that are just entertained by what they see? Yeah, you're right.

And if you're, if you fall in that category, then just watching big name people, you know, fight each other is more interesting to you. Just, you know, sitting there with your buddies going like, oh, I wonder if he'll beat him and talking shit. Like that's more entertaining than actually watching the sport and seeing like all the little. I mean, truth be told, we're all gonna watch Mayweather fight Logan.

I guarantee it. I'm not paying for it. You're not paying for it. I'll get what you guys paid for. Yeah. Yeah, I'm not a prince. I want to watch. I mean, I'm curious, right?

Like I'm really curious to just as I was curious about the Connor fight, right? I was, I was, I was definitely in on that one, but I had the same kind of thing. So that is going crazy over that. What I'm wondering is how I will feel about this when it's very normal. Well, there's always, yeah, right now there's a lot

of novelties. Yeah, exactly. There's a lot of novelty around it, but after you, we've seen enough pro boxers like Mayweather, probably whoop the shit out of, you know, the Logan and jig Paul's that are just dabbling in this. You know, will that like not pull the average person after five, after we've seen five of these things? So, well, hey, if you want novelty, watch the MMA leagues in Russia. You will see you can't even imagine. I know they're the most crazy. Like some of those sports where they're fighting on like levels.

So they have like structures that they jump on top of them and they jump down, they fight on top of structure. Yeah, game fights. Yeah, there'll be like one big dude against four smaller guys. They just did one, I think two weeks ago. So they fight with swords and shields. They have real weapons and real armor. And then there was one I just watched, it was a couple of weeks ago. They fight with swords and shields. They have real weapons and real armor,

and then there was one I just watched, it was a couple weeks ago. It was a big, he looked like a Sumo wrestler, it's like a big 450, 500 pound guy, fought a woman in the ring. What? In Russian, yeah, dude. Oh my God.

She kicked his ass, actually. Oh no! Yes, she did. That's awesome. So, where do you watch this? It's going YouTube, dude. Go on YouTube, look up Russian MMA, whatever, and you'll see the weirdest shit

you've ever seen in your entire life. Really? Like anything. They have an arm wrestling league where there's two ways to win. You either beat the guy in arm wrestling or you knock him out. So they grab.

What? Yeah. You can punch him. How do you never run this out? So they grab hand, they strap your hands together, right? Yeah, that's it. And then you have an MMA glove in the they grab hand, they strap your hands together, right? Yeah, absolutely. And then you have an MMA glove in the other hand. And they go, that is not real.

I swear to God. And they go, ready, go. And then they, they just shut their mouth. And they are real. Why, you gotta look this up. I wanna watch that. I know, that sounds amazing.

They still, okay, so the arm wrestling arm, that they're arm wrestling. So you can pin their arm at the case, or you knock the guy. And they tape, they tape you together. They like, yeah, they strap the hands together. Okay. And then you're just,

and so you have two ways of winning. Either one, doing the arm, you know, pinning him in arm wrestling or two knocking him out. Yes. I'm probably more concerned with knocking him out. Wow. And, and I wonder, like, so there are elbows fixed in there.

I don't remember exactly. Yeah, because I feel like right away, if like you your throwing punches You're like you're gonna pull back here. I think that is melee. I think Doug found it. Let's let's see it I need to see this. Oh X arm X arm extreme arm wrestling greatest hits. Yeah, oh yeah Yeah, it's the great. It's the it's the most insane. Why have you never brought this up before? You know I might have had brought it up a long time ago. We should watch this together. Yeah, it's, after you watch two of them,

it's, you know, they're gonna kind of get it. Really? I still think it would be entertaining as shit. Yeah, look at this. Where is this? So this isn't Russia, you said? Um, I don't know if this was in Russia or the US. What? I mean, the technique should be kind of similar when you're, uh, you know, in hockey where they have to grab the jersey just to keep stabilized and hit with the other arm now

if it's in the u.s. it's probably in a in on a Native American reservation that's where they do all the crazy stuff right? it's not crazy stuff. well yeah because they don't have to follow the same right yeah fast forward. yeah give me just a little oh no no no this guy's for oh my god

watch this i know i'm gonna seal it okay so they okay who signs up for this weather? oh so they it's a special kind of guy even the hand wow they can throw elbows. Oh, yeah, you could you could you could kick the guy How do you kick when they're ready look right touch? I mean I mean He's our bar. He's our bar. He's our bar, the guy. Yeah, this is, how do you score that?

I don't know, dude. Wow. Now here's just, yeah, this is, so if you ever wanna see, what the, the extreme, like a kick to the head. Oh, dude, okay, don't lean down, you get kicked in the face. Yeah, if you ever wanna see the difference,

like a stark difference between men and women, you're this right here, like, I don't, this is a, this is like a stupid guy idea right here. But it sounded like a good idea. No, this is like, wow, this is great. Yeah, it's terrible. Oh, go to sleep. Yeah.

So what's weird to me is that as soon as the referee let's go the hands and it's go time, it really turns into an MMA fight with your hand tied to the guy you're fighting. Yeah, you kind of leave that little table The table is like useless. Right. I feel like the arm wrestling part is like oh that dude's got Cleaned out. That's it. I know. Isn't that terrible? You still tied to him. You're like celebrating Like dangling That's a thing dude wow. Yeah, I'm gonna transition to something.

Really cool. I wanted to bring this up. Did you know Airbnb is gonna be going public? Yes. Because I know you're such a huge fan. Yeah, that's soon too, right? Yes, real seriously. I think it's gonna be coming up here in the next few weeks.

I wanna say. I actually had that in my notes to bring up. So I saw an article maybe a week or two ago, and I think, which is crazy, because they took a big hit with COVID. They did, but I think they're gonna, I don't think they're going anywhere though. No, we're not going anywhere.

No, of course. Now, someone was asking me investment advice in my DMs, and I want to be, I mean, here's a deal, I have a lot of family members is what they do for a living. So I learned just through them, but the best piece of advice I ever got was to invest in things that I know about

because that helps you ride the waves. So if you invest in a company that you really understand and know about, then you're okay with what you'll see in the market, which are ups and downs, because that's the biggest problem. The hardest challenge with investments is not selling when the shit starts to drop because you don't want to sell when it's low or not buying when it's already high. You need to have faith in the companies you could ride those things out. So best piece of advice I ever got. So like Airbnb, that's something I would invest in

because we had spent so much time renting Airbnb houses and stuff when we were traveling. It was game changer. Yeah, it was two ways to convenient. And I just don't see that that would, like once it was opened up, they wouldn't take that back.

Well, I mean, look at your, I mean, or at least for my own personal behaviors with like going somewhere and staying, like I mean, just two decades ago, you always stayed in a hotel where it went from always staying in a hotel to all this new company area. It's never staying in a hotel. It's never, like I mean,

it's very, very rare that we use a hotel anywhere we go. There's a lot of upswing with them too, because they haven't really generated a huge profit yet. So there's still in that part that's still going through the growth phase. Oh, and you still will go. I mean, I think that the future of Airbnb looks still different than what it is right now. So do I. Is I don't think you'll ever stay at a house in the future that isn't bought and used for Airbnb only. It'll be 100% utilized like that versus you still got like a 50-50 shot depending on where you're going, right?

Obviously, areas that are traveled a lot too are starting to evolve into this. But I remember just, I mean, six years we've been doing this together. Before that, Katrina and I were already using this. But I remember just I mean six years we've been doing this together. Before that, Katrina and I were already using this. And when we first did it, it was you know, nine out of 10 houses that we would go to looked like, you know, they live there still. And then, you know, in the time, the short period of time that we were all used to. It's already moved forward. It's already progressed. Yeah, I would say it would be the flip, right? I would say probably seven or ten out of times we go to a house now, it looks like a hotel

or somebody staged it completely. Yeah, and I can't, I guarantee with all these other options where you can rent a parking, can rent a garage space, you can, they're gonna add features like that as they become public. It just makes perfect sense because now I can maximize whatever place I have, you know, to make money even when I'm not there. I believe in the concept so much at one point,

I was considering buying properties to put them on Airbnb, to, you know, profit off of them. Right. Like the concept is not just good for people who are, who like to travel, the concepts also amazing for investors. Exactly. Like if you are somebody who wants to invest in real estate, like I see so many potentials with this, that's definitely a company that I believe in. So, you know, it's something I'm gonna keep an eye on.

I do know that a lot of owners, though, are not fans of them all the time, right? Like if you think about it, if you buy somewhere that's like, you know, in Tahoe or a place that you love and then your neighbors are, both your neighbors are airbikes. That's the threat. South like is real restrictive.

They are. And that's the threat. The threat is the, will be local laws. Like if you buy something and then your air being being at making money, and then they pass a law that says, uh, sorry, you can't do that anymore. You know, now you're totally screwed or hotel lobbies start to gain more traffic. And they already are doing that in places for sure. Yes, yes, that'll be can't do that anymore. Now you're totally screwed. Or hotel lobbies start to gain more traffic. And they already are doing that in places, for sure. Yeah, that'll be the biggest challenge with it.

But I mean, I think to all end up eventually winning, just like Uber, I think it's too late. I think it's the cats out of the bag right? So it's definitely too late. Speaking of companies that I have a lot of faith in, my son is totally into Viori's joggers. Totally. Yes, and he's gettinggers. Totally. Yeah.

Yes, and he's getting compliments on it. So he's... Did I bring that age group? Did I bring up on the show that they're moving to Valley Fair? Did I tell you guys how? I think you did. We told us, I don't know if it was on the show. Well, Felix Gray, I brought up.

I know for sure I brought up Felix Gray on the last commercial. Oh, that's what it was. Yeah, I brought them up because they're there already. Like, I saw them, but Viori's coming. So like, yeah. So I think, I think think what did I see spring? I think it's supposed to be here, which is gonna be really cool.

That's interesting. I wonder too, cause I mean, they were, you know, like basically you buy everything online and all these online retail companies. I see now them seeing opportunity maybe because the retail's cheaper now, right? I kind of go, I mean, imagine if you're like a Vioria, right? Who you started as a, you know, direct to consumer business first.

And then you started by these premiums. Like how pumped are you right now? Well, you're just like a smart transition. Your model was already set up for. Exactly. You're already succeeding. Yeah, you're already succeeding without even having store locations. And all of a sudden this shit happens where everybody's losing and

leaving. And so you put in strategic areas where you know people can drive to it just to pick product up, you know, all that kind of stuff. That's the model. I think that's the model now. I think it really is the model now. To do it that way versus the old model, which was brick and mortar first and then- But to talk about hard though, I mean, real hard.

Yeah, real hard. I mean, even Viori, right? Like, Viori's been one of those brands, I mean, we've now been with them for what, four years or more now. We've been with Viori for a long time, and at that time, everybody I knew didn't know who the hell they were. They were still small.

This is before they are even getting into REIs and places like that. And it is one of those, it's one of those articles of clothing that you have to wear first before you fall in. Otherwise, just some random brand that you hear on a podcast or whatever. So not seeing it in a store, not being able to go try it on

or like, that's a tough sell to me. But I mean, one of the things that's great is, you put on a pair of them just like everything. Well, they win you over. Yeah, it is about the field and the quality, like over everything. Yeah, they're super up and coming. When you read the articles about the Athletes You Wear

market, Viori's always named as one of the big players or one of the ones that's gonna be one of those big players. Absolutely. So. SIG. GLEE CALL. GLEE CALL. There you go, everybody.

Eagerness Landish! Quee-qua- First question is from Jamil A144. What the fuck is wrong? Eagle is landed! Quikwa. First question is from Jamil A144. What would be your go-to quick and dirty, full body warm-up? Ooh, that's kind of a cool question. That's actually a great question. Yeah. You know what's a good, just kind of full body warm-up?

Like a Turkish get up. Do a couple turkish... Sure, hits all the... Do some rounds of Turkish get up and it tends to... Yeah, it tends to warm up all the areas that need activation, at least for me, right? So thoracic helps work on my thoracic mobility, there's some rotation involved, my hips, warms them up pretty well. So it gets me kind of all the areas that I need to warm up.

Yeah, I like, well, they call it the world's greatest stretch. So you're going to see what I was going to say. Yeah, walking, lizard. So it's like, well, they call it the world's greatest stretch. So you're going to see what I was going to say. We just are walking. So it's like, is it? Lizzard with rotation, right? You basically do a lizard rotation with the inchworms. Yeah. The combines both of those.

So you, you know, you get hips open up, you get rotation, you get the, I mean, all the benefits of the posterior chain kind of waking up like everything. Yeah. I'm with you. That's all, to this day, that's what I still do. Really? Yeah, I almost always do that. And that's one with clients on that. That's a, to this day, that's what I still do. Really? Yeah, I almost always do that. That's a, and that's one with clients.

Such a great warmup to take them like, especially if you have a, if you have a gym or an area where you actually have a little bit of room to do what Justin's saying, otherwise, you could do it. Yeah, you could do it in place, where I'll go 10 on one side and then 10 on the other side and warm them up. Like when I used to run boot camps, this was like a staple warmup.

But I'm with you Justin, I mean, there's it literally gets everything. It gets every and if you can include it into like an inch where you're going across the room and back, you really get everything. Well, I mean, truth be told, the original quick warm up was a few sets of whatever exercise you're gonna do

with lightweight, controlled and slow form. I mean, that's the old school kind of easy way to warm up. So whatever exercise you're doing first, there's still people in the strength camp that believe that, that's the way it's still. Yeah, because I mean, look, it's the most specific movement pattern, at least specific to the exercise.

Maybe not 100% ideal to the individual, depending on the person, but it's very, it's obviously if I'm warming up a squat, two squat, it's very specific to the movement. I so strongly disagree to that. Well, you know why? Because you have to have some good body awareness.

Like I could get away with it because I know when I'm warming up, for example, barbell squats, I'll just use myself as an example. Couple of areas that I need warm up are my hips, my ankles, and my upper back, right, getting my shoulders to pin back. So, but I know this. So the way I would warm up with lightweight is I would

focus on my ankle mobility on the way down. You activate all those areas. I would exactly activate my upper back, squeeze the bar back, I'd slow down, I'd pause at the bottom, work on the different areas I need to activate, push my knees out, because that's what I need to do to activate my, the side parts of my, my abductors, I'd pause at the bottom, work on the different areas I need to activate, push my knees out, because that's what I need to do, to activate my, you know, the side parts of my,

my abductors, I should say. So, requires a little bit more awareness. But, bro, not a little bit, a lot more awareness, because I agree with you in that, and there's times, I just did it the other day where I was like, eh, no, I'm skipping my little warm up, I'm just gonna get out of the bar with real lightweight

and do exactly what you said. And you have to, when you are trying to connect to areas where you have a poor connection to while you're also squatting and there are multiple areas of your body, the level of awareness that you have to have to be able to do that. That's the point. And even then, like it still isn't as good the level of awareness that you have to have to be able to do that. And even then, it's still isn't as good as me picking each part

and individually priming that, getting entered. No, it doesn't come close. Because I'm all the exact same areas you are. Hips, ankles, thoracic. Those are the three areas before squatting and I've got an exercise or two that I do for all of them and who primed to prime and then I get under there. It is night and day difference in comparison to that.

Now does that mean I can't get under the bar and just do some warmups? I'm sure I know I can and I believe there's some people that lift consistently that do have that connection like you're saying they can do that, but I still would challenge that person to do those, to go through the specific priming movements first, and then get in there and tell me you don't feel that.

Yeah, it's really hard to address any compensatory pattern. Like if you're just going through the gross movement of it, and yes, you can try and kind of feel your way into it, and like, you know, grip the bar a certain way, you know, pin your shoulders back, and do all these types of things, but it's just, you're gonna really like help to isolate that and then bring it in when you prime it properly.

Well, I mean, okay, to add to all of that, here's just in layman's terms. This is why the warmup sets before the exercise isn't always ideal for a lot of people. Whatever your poor movement pattern is with a squat, you'll tend to do that with your warmup too. So what ends up happening is you just, you warm up wrong.

So you're warming up and yes, you're getting your heart rate up a little bit and your the muscles are filling up with blood and all that stuff, which is better than nothing, but you're just reinforcing whatever issue you have. Yeah, so then you go in your exercise and it's just bad warmup, bad form is what it leads to. So, you know, individualized priming is superior. I mean, I tell you what, if you have worked out

for a long time, if you got a program like Maps Prime, take the compass, do the individualized priming session, and then tell me that that doesn't completely change your workout. Literally, tell me if it doesn't, because it will, it completely will blow your mind. Now for beginners, I think it's necessary, but advanced lifters, give it a shot, watch what happens. You'll never go back to the old way again. If you haven't gone on my, so on my Instagram, I don't know, I don't post that often anymore,

so you could probably go back, I don't know, maybe 20 to 30 posts at most, maybe less than that. And I did a video of how I prime before squatting now, which is kind of a combination of all those other sides. So it is a little advanced. And I think I say that in the video that, you know, once you understand what you're trying to get connected to with your ankles, your hips, and your back, up or back, like you're saying, so you've seen me do this before, haven't you?

Right? Sit all the way down in a squad position with a band, and I'm close to the bar, so I'm in that position, and I talk about this in the video. Like my check points that I'm going to go, oh, first I think of my tucking my chin for my neck because of my forward head. Then I'm pulling the bands apart, so I'm doing like a reverse fly for the upper back

and rear delts, so I pull my shoulders back while I'm sitting all the way in the deepest position I can, it's quiet, I'm pushing my knees out while also driving them forward over my toes and connecting like for a combat stretch. So I'm kind of doing all of them all in one move, but I also don't teach that to somebody who I'm trying to make aware of all their imbalances first. Like it's like you first to that. Ask me for the right person. Yeah, you need to first do that.

And I, you know, again, challenge anybody. Like you said, go through, you know, prime and find out what yours are. Do that before you, especially the big lifts, the squats, the benches, the deadlifting, really priming well before you do that. You can't tell me you don't feel like that. You'll never want to go back, all right. Next question is from Brady Sims 3. When should you use and not use a lifting belt?

Well, first of all, it's up to you. So you can use one or not, not that big of a deal, but I'll put these people in the category of people that probably should use a lifting belt. Number one, people who compete in strength events, that use lifting belts. So like if you're a power lifter or a strong man in your event allows you to use a weight lifting belt, power lifters for sure, they always wore belts or it's allowed in competition. Then you're going to want to wear a belt when you lift because there's a technique and

skill to using a belt. You don't just's a technique and a skill to using a belt. You don't just put one on and then voila, you feel stronger and more stable. There's actually a skill and technique to learning how to use one properly and how to maximize the leverage and the stability that a belt provides. The other person is a person that likes to have fun with their lifts and wants to learn the difference between lifting with a belt and not with a belt. Most people probably, you probably never need to pick up a belt. It probably doesn't really make a big difference. I use a belt because years ago, I trained with one and I had fun with it until this day.

I have fun using a belt, especially if I'm going really heavy, but truth be told, I probably would be better off not using a belt and just getting my core to be really good and stable and strong without a belt because it's a totally different muscle recruitment pattern. Stabilizing without a belt is different than stabilizing with a belt. Yeah, I would also throw in there if you're in a competitive athletic environment,

mainly because a lot of times like, and this is my experience and a lot of other athletes' experience when you're working out with the team, and you're in the gym and everybody's in there together, it's just like you're always trying to do more. You're trying to load more, you're trying to really push yourself to the extremes, and almost to the point where you come to Max load,

and you're doing PRs all the time. So to have that as an extra insurance, I could see that being valuable in that environment. But for your average person, for me, I like to go for a long time without it. You can experiment, have fun with it and whatnot. But to find out what you can truly stabilize and what you can truly control means

that you actually own that weight. And that's just something I've always stuck with because my body is gonna give me the indication whether or not I feel, I don't feel like I can brace that amount of weight properly. So that's an indication to me that I need to go down a bit in load. Do you guys remember the last time you used a belt?

I used one at least once a week. Oh, okay, you're that? Oh, you're more than me then. I thought you were less, actually. I went off for a while and then I have fun with it. Again, I learned, remember the story I talked about, the two power lifters that taught me, had a squat and deadlift. They also taught me how to use a belt.

And so since I was 16, I've been using a belt on and off. In fact, I had the old belt I wore when I was 16 up until about six years ago and I gave it to one of my clients when I stopped personal training. But to me, there's a different feel around it, maybe some nostalgia.

But yeah, I mean, training clients, I had Doug wear one sometimes, I had another guy wear one sometimes, but I never had anybody else wear about. Yeah, that's interesting. I didn't know you were using it even that much because I know you're obviously you don't talk about using it that often. I would say I was probably, I thought I was using it the most. I mean, I haven't used it in months just because it's where I'm at right now, my lifting, where I saw the most value is like, my lifting, where I saw the most value is like, when I was competing and, you know, I would just, I was doing so much volume that my low back a lot of times would be fried and then I'm getting ready to go do some exercise and I just want to take it out of it. I don't want, I don't want my low back to be the first thing to get fatigued and give out. I trained

myself to use a belt long enough and so me being able to stabilize and have some external existence with that, made it nice when I was lifting similar to how I use straps. Straps the same way too. I just didn't see a lot of value and use them for overall strength and what like with Justin like tens of train for. Doesn't make sense to me for somebody like that unless you're competing. But when you're sculpting and you're a bodybuilder and you're trying to isolate parts of the body all the time, to me, I understand where someone like that uses tools like that more frequently than the average person.

Otherwise, it can end up being a crutch and the people that tend to gravitate towards using a belt think that they, because they have low back issues or problems that they should use a belt, and that they, because they have low back issues or problems that they should use a belt, and that's the safer way to go. When in reality, that person would probably be better off not using a belt.

Yeah, that makes a lot of sense, actually, because in that frame of thought, there's a lot of benches and positions and things that they specifically use to give you relief from fatigue, so you can just isolate the muscles. So to me, that seems like a natural fit. Bodybuilders wear belts differently than powerlifters do too.

So powerlifters will put on a belt, heavy lifts. Bodybuilders put on a belt because they think it shrinks their waist. And so you'll see them wearing a belt. Like you're all day long. Yes, they're hitting arms and they'll wear a belt. They're hitting chest issues with that. And they wear a belt.

But bodybuildings in aesthetics port. So everything revolves around aesthetic. And especially at that level, it's like, yeah, here's a deal, if you're the average person and you want to build muscle and you like to follow a body building routine, that doesn't mean you do the stuff that the advanced bodybuilders do. That's a whole different level.

Like, are you gonna wear a belt and to make sure your waist doesn't grow or so, it's not gonna help you at that level. Now, if you're a 300 pound bodybuilder, you're on growth hormone and you're on testosterone. It's turning to an accessory, like a clothing accessory, you know? That's like to... You have your name on the back? Yeah, I mean, you just, if you walk into the gym and you've got your belt over your shoulder and your gallon of water,

I mean, you just... Oh, yeah, bro. I mean, I'm announcing I'm a bodybuilder, you know what I'm saying? That's walls. It's become that, you know, all right. And you had your beats run your neck right? Yeah, yeah, no, 100%.

And my stringer, right? Underneath my leg, super thick, oversized sweater. I mean, it's just... You've got to get a pump for a thing. Yeah, yeah, that's all right. And then scare everybody afterwards. Look at that dude over there, right? No, no, no. I mean, to me,- You've got to get a pump first. Yeah, yeah, that's right. And then scare everybody afterwards. Look at that dude over there, right? So, no, no, no.

I mean, to me, it's a tool, right? I mean, I think you're alluding to that salad. It's a tool and it has value. But for most people, you should be training with it as little or as never, or never. There's no reason for you to do it unless you're sport. It changes recruitment patterns. When you wear a belt, your core pushes out against the

belt to stabilize. When you don't have a belt, your core braces, totally different. If you get really good with the belt, and all you ever do is wear a belt, when you go out to brace your core in the real world, you might find yourself having problems. Exactly. Next question is from CJ Grundy Fitness. What is the most optimal way to rest between sets? Sit and wait, walk around, light stretching, et cetera. Is there a best way? Not scrolling on Instagram.

You know what's crazy though? So I'm guilty of this. I was just like, so I have had the last like week and half two weeks has been pretty good as far as training again for me. And yesterday I was in here training, and I've had this habit recently because we're here at work and so much of our businesses on the phone and online. I've catch myself working in between sets, responding to DMs or emails or whatever, you know, like, and it definitely affects my training. Like, there's a total difference

than when I'm like, music, you know, I'm blaring rage against the machine or tool in my ears. My phone's nowhere next to me and I'm like, resting is resting. It's like, it's a total different space. Yeah, I'm lifting and when I'm lifting, I'm completely focused on the lift. When I'm resting, I'm enjoying every second of the rest

because I know I'm about to get after it again. And there's a total different feel of that workout versus kind of like, you know, going through the whole workout with this, get to my set, or let me answer these questions. Oh wow, that, you know, 90 second rest period turned into a four minute rest period. And so I mean, for me, I, and this is, I think this is an individual thing

too, by the way, because I think there's value in, you know, doing some dynamic stuff in between as far stretching and, and, you know, being connected or whatever you want to do in between. But personally, I like to be in a zone where I'm completely focused on what I'm doing and not being distracted. It's totally individual. It's rest the way that makes you feel best. Now I'll tell you how not to rest by doing other exercises.

That sounds funny, but when I would train clients, especially clients that want to lose body fat, they thought rest was a waste of time. So they'd be like, oh, can I do something in between? And they don't realize that the rest is part of the workout that the rest. Just trainers throw rubber band exercises in between just to kind of maximize the rest. I'm like, they're not resting. I'm glad you brought that up because it's actually really calm. Yes, super calm. And it's very calm. And part of that is, you know, part of

it's the trainers fault. It's also clients that like demand that, right? Exactly. They're putting pressure on the trainer to do that. No, no, the reason why you rest isn't necessarily because you need the rest. I have to take a break because I can't breathe. That's part of it. But really, the rest is to allow you to train the right energy systems to elicit the right response of the right adaptation. If you're lifting weights, the goal that you have

is to speed up the metabolism, build muscle, and build strength. That's what your goal is. Now, if your goal is endurance, totally different. But if your goal is, I'm doing this so I can speed up my metabolism, I'm sculpting my body, I'm building muscle, I'm building strength, which is what resistance training does best,

better than anything. Then you rest in between because it allows your muscles to replenish their ATP. ATP is the muscle energy that you're training that elicits that spurs on the strength and muscle gain. If you don't rest, it becomes glycolytic. You start to end up burning lots of glycogen, and then you might as well just be on a treadmill. You're just doing lots of endurance work.

So the rest part is just as important as the exercise part in terms of the effectiveness of the programming. Now, in my opinion, I think you should rest, however, makes you feel best. Now, sometimes that means you sit down and catch a breath and a lot of stuff. When I used to work in gyms,

the way that I used to love to rest is I used to do a set, I put my talent in the machine or machine or on the barbell dumbbell and then I'd walk to the water fountain. I never had water with me because this is what I would do. I'd walk to the water fountain, get some water and walk back and that was always the perfect amount of rest for me. These days I'm in my garage and I sit on my bench and I'm now I'm opposite from you Adam with what you said, in between rest periods, I don't go on social media necessarily, but I like to write. So I like to write notes and what I'm, what I'm, because when I'm working out,

my mind is typically on fire. So I'll write stuff that I'm gonna talk about on the podcast or ideas that I have, and then I have a timer go off, I can see that it's been a minute and a half, then I go back to my workout and it's the same zone for me. It's not a different space or head space. If going on your phone takes you out of that,

like if you're working out and it's fun and then you're stressed out because you're on your phone and back on fourth, probably not. I've had to check myself on that quite a few times because I have been pulled into social media and just kind of meddling on my phone and it does get me distracted in my mind in a different place where it's like, if I am focused and I'm just

truly resting and I'm just trying to now bring my heart rate down and just listen to my body and really, like for me back in the day when I would train at my best, I was walking and I was really slowly kind of breathing and getting myself recouped and then focusing then I would take towards the end of the rest I'm starting to now visualize that next set that I'm about to perform and I mean it's no different than being out of of of of a game competing you know and I get that one minute to like kind of watch the game now I'm gonna go right back, and I get that one minute to watch the game, now I'm gonna go right back in, and I'm really focused, and I'm ready to attack.

I also have another example of what I might do different, like in between sets, where if I'm really focused in squat, this is very common for me with squats, I'm still trying to improve my squat, and I'm still in search of having this perfect, beautiful squat, and I'm still with squats, right? I'm still trying to improve my squat. I'm still in search of having this perfect, beautiful squat and I'm still not there, right? Some days I'll come in and that is the focus, right?

It's just movement focused. I want to keep getting better, better at the movement. And so in between sets, sometimes it's more priming, right? So like, you know, Sal, you talked about earlier about like the areas, your ankles and your hips and then your upper back that you need to prime for squats. Yes, it's good. I may do all my priming and then get into my squats, but still feel myself letting the shoulders collapse forward a little bit. And so then between sets, I might be still doing band pull-aparts or doing some sort of a row to really, really put on.

But it's not a workout. No, no, no, it's not. I'm lightweight or bands, you know what I'm saying? I'm not, and it's not about reps. It's more about being connected to that area. And so, you know, if that day I'm really focused on improving form, especially like I said, if it's a squat day or that's what I'm doing, you might catch me doing things like that in between the movement to improve the movement. So I see value in that that if that's your focus.

And then I also see tons of value in not doing anything and being very focused on the workout when you're trying to get after. I think it really depends on the mindset you're coming into the workout with. Next question is from Cha Cha Joseph. Did you guys have a niche when you were personal trainers or did you just train anyone and everybody? So this, so this makes, this reminds me of a pet peeve I used to have with new trainers.

New trainers coming into the gym, they wanna work for mayor, whatever, and they'd say things like, I wanna work with athletes, or my niche is, like you're a new trainer, okay? Single moms only. Yeah, when I, okay creep. Wow.

When I was a new trainer, okay, my niche was people who wanted personal training. That was it. I didn't care who you were. I didn't care what your goal was. I'm a new trainer, I'm trying to build my business. I didn't start focusing on a niche until I became much more experienced until I started to have more value

in the market in the sense that I used to get a lot of referrals. Then when I got to the point where I could say no to people and I had this reputation, that's when I started to have my niche. And the people I enjoyed training the most, really, I love training everyday people always. Athletes were cool, but I like everyday people.

I love training people in advanced age. That was probably my favorite. And selfishly, it's because in between SATs, the conversations I would have with these people who were in their 60s, 70s, and 80s, which is phenomenal. There's so much wisdom. I also like to see them progress

in their lifestyles change. That was really awesome. But in the beginning, I don't have a niche. I don't think you should change the way you're saying that too. I think it's less of that you liked it more of it that you were good at it. And I think that's how you find your niche. Like I mean, I would have you work your way towards your niche.

And I think it's something that subconsciously kind of happens, right? Like I would like to a thought that my niche was going to be sports, you know, because I like sports. I like training for sports myself, I liked athletes, I followed all that stuff, and so I thought I would be great with them. That wasn't great with athletes,

that wasn't my, or else I would have had a ton of them, right? I ended up being like really good with like this middle-aged, you know, CEO, like high performer, high stress, high pay personality. I didn't go into it thinking that what ended up happening was I hit it out the park with a few of those clients and then those ones start referring other friends like them.

Before you knew it, all of a sudden I had my schedule filled with a majority of that client. That's a great point. It's like you don't find your niche, your niche ends up finding your... That's the thing and yeah, I mean very similar to that demographic was, it was the best client that was the most consistent that paid me the most and I could actually make a business

around it. So, it actually shifted my focus because I was that guy that wanted the athletic training only and that would be awesome. And my dream to have a facility where I just train these crazy athletes and pro athletes and all this kind of stuff, which was great. But also, I was attracting and what was available was this really type A. I want the most effective, efficient type of a workout and schedule as possible. I need you to be able to help me with this.

And here's what I have, and they were like the best for me. So I just went more in that direction eventually. It was just like, that's right there for me, and I have to put my own interests sort of over here to understand that this is really what's available. Yeah, it's funny because I'd say a lot of trainers, when they become trainers,

the niche that I think is popular with trainers is athletes. Because they themselves are probably athletes or fitness fanatics. And they're thinking, I'm gonna become a trainer and I'm gonna train athletes. Probably the hardest niche I can think of, because if you're training young athletes, they don't have money.

And if you're training high level athletes, they usually don't pay for training. Like if you're training young athletes, they don't have money. And then if you're training high level athletes, they usually don't pay for training. Like if you're a pro athlete, they have trainers knocking down the door to training the pro players. Well, I guess stories. Yeah. And do you spag pro players that...

There are a lot of doubt on their payments. Oh yeah, a lot of them are like that because they get so much stuff for free. So much stuff for free. They think because they have this big name that that's a great opportunity for you to get your name out there. So train me for free. So yeah, no, I'm with you guys.

I mean, and for sure you, Justin, like that, I thought that that was my dream. If you asked me at, you know, 1920 when I was first getting into it, like, oh, one day I want to be the trainer for the giants, you know? Yeah, totally. Yeah, you wanted to be a trainer for a pro sports team. And again, like you

saw, I took anybody and everybody. When you're trying to build your business and you're starving and you're trying to pay the bills, you obviously should take everybody you possibly can whenever you can. And then over time, you refine your schedule. And then again, your niche finds you. It really did. I had no clue. was gonna be that, nor did I want that. I didn't go like, I'll just, yeah, I really like training these people. It's, I did well with them, you know. Maybe because I connected and I related to them

really well, and I had a lot of the right answers for those types of people. And they began to refer more and more clients and before you knew it, this became, you know, my niche. But I don't think you should start as a trainer trying to find, like, my niche is gonna be. No, if you're trying to build your business,

especially if you're younger trainer and you don't have a whole bunch of other responsibilities, you train anybody and everybody to build your business. I mean, when I first started, and of course I was a kid, but I worked in gyms that were open 24 fitness, so I was open 24 hours. And I used to trip me out that they were, I'd go to the fitness manager, I remember at the time

and I'd say, does anybody need a trainer? And they'd be like, oh yeah, there's these three people. One of them wants to train at 10 o'clock at night. This one wants to work out at 4am, and this one wants to work out at 5am. And no trainer wanted to train them. And I remember thinking how crazy that was. All these trainers over here

talking about building their business, there's three clients they don't want to take because they don't like the time. Like I'll take those clients. And I just trained everybody, everybody I possibly could. Look, MindPump is recorded on video as well as audios. You can find us on YouTube, MindPump Podcast.
