Mind Pump Radio. This is the fitness show starring Salda Stefano. The hottest fitness show on radio. Adam Schaefer, and Justin Andrews.
Starting point is 00:03:18 Take me to the rhythm of the moment and the glory lights. Yeah. Yeah. It's been a while. I've unleashed the pipes. Everybody got a boner. Yeah. You get a boner.
Starting point is 00:03:33 You get a boner. You get a boner. You guys got a boner. It's raging. Everybody's got boners. Now let's use them. Wow. Whoops.
Starting point is 00:03:42 You went too far. Too far. Adam, you got a lot of energy, bro. You know what I have such energy. So, you know, I was experimenting with some drugs the other day. What? What? That's a good thing to tell the kids.
Starting point is 00:03:54 Let me, no, fuck that dude. I'm pissed off right now. What? You didn't give me to me in Justin. Oh. You know, right here, bro. I, you know, I, you know, this, I, this should be a disclaimer in this one, Doug, for sure.
Starting point is 00:04:04 Uh, this is, we're talking about grownups. Everybody who's 30 and above you're younger. Yeah anybody under 18 close your years Yeah, I didn't start experimenting with drugs till I get old When I thought I could just keep them all in control. So which is obviously I'm not because I'm not still experimenting We're going somewhere with this I promise Okay, so I am waiting. I'm waiting. No, I I've never been diagnosed with it With 80 but I believe I have it. Can I can I can I just interject real quick? You do go ahead continue You know and and when And when I first my professional
Starting point is 00:04:46 when I first got into the cannabis clubs, my late 20s, early 30s to and started doing that. And I started experimenting with cannabis. One of the things I fell in love with was, you know, at night, it was the first thing that I never tried that like settled my brain down. And I had done like the town all pms and all the pills and drugs, stuff like that. And it was just, it made me feel terrible. Like I'd done the town all p.m.s and all the pills and drugs, stuff like that. And it was just, it made me feel terrible.
Starting point is 00:05:07 Like I'd just be groggy the next day. And I felt like I kept having to add more to the prescription, which is like, I knew that was all bad. So, and then when cannabis was introduced to me, and I learned about the strains and the different types, and how to use it for purposes like that, I fell in love with it. I was like, oh my God, I could sleep,
Starting point is 00:05:24 I could relax, I could relax. My brain could just like kind of shut down it. I kind of get dumb. So it's not great for me throughout the day. I can't smoke weed. I'm not functional. People would think I'm retarded talking to them. So it's something that I stay away from during the daytime.
Starting point is 00:05:38 Unless I'm around family, it's a weekend, it's a vacation for me. Maybe I'll indulge in the afternoon with buddies or friends or people that I trust. So, that was my first experiment with something like that. And we were joking when we first started. I'm not somebody. I was the kid who didn't have sex, didn't have due drugs, and doing that stuff growing up through my school. Yeah, pretty much. Nurti athlete kid didn't do any of that stuff.
Starting point is 00:05:58 As I got older, then I became more interested. And once I got into fitness and health and science, then there was certain things that, you know, just because society says, this is all bad, this is that, that I thought, well, you know, just because they say it's all bad, why don't I do my own research and find out, you know, exactly what happens to the body. And if this is something that I would be looking for. So that's led me to other fantastic drugs of trying these things out and seeing what works and what doesn't work for me. So recently, getting to this, he met a devil woman, getting to the climax of the story.
Starting point is 00:06:28 And like I said earlier when I first started that, I think I have ADD, although I've never been diagnosed. So my friend, he's like, hey, you know, have you ever tried Rillin before? For Rillin? Yeah. So I said, I just like imagine this really smiley guy like, hey.
Starting point is 00:06:43 Yeah, right. And I, is that why you're doing your homework right now? Yeah. So I did, I took one and you know what I noticed was I have this, this ability to focus. You know, and I, on whatever task was, it definitely put me in, I felt the energy from it for sure. It's a methamphetamine, isn't it?
Starting point is 00:07:05 I think it is. Yeah, I think it's something like that. Which also made me realize that, okay, this is something that I would most certainly not want to introduce into my life on a regular basis like they prescribe it. Because then I could see how addictive those problems you just want to use it for fun. No, no, no, no, no, no, I could see where, you know,
Starting point is 00:07:23 for example, I'm excited. As we're, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, I think that's, what if it makes you an asshole? Probably a little bit. Really? I think a little me being an asshole is good for the team, don't you think? Yeah. Yeah. We have our safe space. Usually it's Doug being an asshole, so. No.
Starting point is 00:07:55 Then you'll be the asshole. Not really. Doug, even Doug has a sweet way of being an asshole. Yeah, he does. He's a sweet asshole. What do they say? He's the, what do they say, Doug? You're the iron fist with velvet gloves, is that right?
Starting point is 00:08:07 Wow, that sounds good. Speaking of assholes. I, so, so, so, so you had a good experience. You felt focus. Yeah, I did. I did. I think it's definitely something. There's nothing like, there's nothing like self-diagnosis.
Starting point is 00:08:20 You know, like that. Yeah, because I did that shit all. That was, yeah, that was me, my feelings and web-m-d. Yeah, that was a long way of saying you tried riddle in and you like that. Yeah, because I do that shit all. That was yeah, that was me, my feelings and web and flesh right there. That was a long way of saying you tried Ritalin and you liked it. Well, I wanted to prep this because I, you know, I know we're gonna lose some listeners because I know there's some, some mom listening right now.
Starting point is 00:08:35 She's like, oh my god, I tell my son to listen to this show. And now these kids that they're, these guys that they look up to are gonna, another mic. No, here's the thing, a disclaimer. Ritalin is, it can be addictive. It actually is addictive. You can take it and become habit forming.
Starting point is 00:08:48 You build a patolerance. It can cause lots of problem. I think it's a methamphetamine if I'm not mistaken. If it's not, it's similar to one. So it's definitely not something you want to play around with, but it's prescribed to kids who have a DVD and stuff. What's the other one that I knew there was this huge epidemic going on with college students?
Starting point is 00:09:04 What were they taking? Oh, what is it? The other one that I knew there was this huge epidemic going on with college students? What were they taking? Oh, what is it? The other one, not Ritalin, but the Adderall. Adderall. Adderall, yeah. Which is similar, right? Adderall and Ritalin are different, but similar.
Starting point is 00:09:13 When they take like beta blockers to perform better, like I've heard this for like musicians especially. Oh, to get the heartbeat to slow down and chill, yeah. Yeah, so they do this before like big tests and finals. Well, it's interesting, because some drugs have a stigma. Some drugs have a stigma and chill. Yeah. Yeah. So they do this before like big tests and finals. Well, it's interesting because some drugs have a stick. Some drugs have a stick. My others don't. You know, you could go to any pharmacy and buy, I mean, 80% of stuff on the counter will kill you if you have too much of it. Tylenol is one of them. More people get sent to the hospital for Tylenol than almost anything else.
Starting point is 00:09:39 Yeah. So it's pretty like all the failed attempts. Yeah. These kids eat and two. So that's why I was wondering why you why you look so energetic. Hey, focus. Yeah, I'm sorry. You look so focused. Focus is the word I like. Stay focused. Yeah, stay focused. Yeah. All right, Doug. You know what that means. I think it's time. I think it is. I think it's time for the motherfucking clowns. I told my line. You piece of shit. I think you're lying, dude. You can't do that. You already stole the center. Oh, mother fuckin' guac. This guy stole the center.
Starting point is 00:10:08 Say it again, go. You motherfucking quack time. Yeah, motherfucking quack. Bring it, Doug. I've got it. Hit me, bring the heat, hit it. Fat fit pat. Oh, I love that's a selfie pat.
Starting point is 00:10:20 Fat fit pat. Hitin' ya. Dr. Seuss wrote that. Biggest marketing mistakes new trainers make. Here's the one that I see a lot of trainers do when they first start. I'm laughing because I know, I know I'm gonna get into it with Adam.
Starting point is 00:10:35 I know me and Adam really good. Uh oh, uh oh. It just, yeah, so. So here's what I see trainers doing. And I think it's a waste, but there's a way you can do it that it's not a waste Can I preface a silly go ahead? Did you see this in 1980? 1990 that what people doing this? Yeah, I see people doing it now and it's fucking stupid away because now I
Starting point is 00:10:58 Think it's silly to do flyers. I think it's silly to go put flyers on cars and to do door hangers I just feel like, because I've never seen that. I've seen it now, and here's why. I think if you're handing out flyers and you're meeting people, great way to promote yourself. But most trainers don't, they don't want to meet people.
Starting point is 00:11:17 They want to go fucking, like go be like a ninja, put a fly on your car, run away and hope you call them. And you're gonna put out a thousand of them and you're gonna get shit. Can you not read? I'm not reading what it says.
Starting point is 00:11:27 Marketing mistake. Biggest marketing mistake. You really think that that's one of the biggest marketing mistakes that can possibly. I can't think of what else people do for market. I should punch you in your cock right now. First of all, what newspaper ad? You know, this is the part that's not fair about YouTube.
Starting point is 00:11:40 Hit me in my cock. No, no, no. This motherfucker has a, you know, he has the ability to read something and be able to like regurgitate it right away. He memorized stuff. Fant, like unreal. It's unreal to me. And I riddle in free.
Starting point is 00:11:54 Listen. Oh, stupid dude. I know somewhere in one of my books, I read a perfect statistic for this and I'm going to probably mutilate it, but I'm going to get the point across here to you guys because I'm not as Christy. 78% of the time with you. It works all the time. No, no, no. No, you mean one of the rules with marketing is that before someone makes
Starting point is 00:12:15 a purchase, on average, they have to see that three times. So even though, and here's another number for you too, they say there's a 1% return on, you know, tangible thing like that your flyers, your door hangers number for you too, they say there's a 1% return on, you know, tangible thing like that. Your flyers, your door hangers, pieces of paper, that 1%. So that is a very, very small number. So I get where you're going with that. But one, it is a fucking return, and it is still a numbers game.
Starting point is 00:12:37 And somebody can't, somebody can be paid little money to go get out there and do it. And two, that's the second part that you're getting. You're getting that. You're seeing this brand. You're seeing like mind pump. If I went out and I fly it, if I actually had the discipline every single day for the last year to fly our every car
Starting point is 00:12:52 with mind pump stickers, I guarantee you every single person in that gym would, there is. So what you're saying is the rate of a term for the time that you would have spent in doing that all year would have been better than doing something else. No, I'm not saying that, but I didn't say it's the number one thing to do.
Starting point is 00:13:05 I'm just saying, I'm just debating you that it's not the biggest marketing mistake. What's your number one? Yeah. A biggest marketing mistake. I think a biggest marketing mistake someone can do is actually, what's the word I wanna say,
Starting point is 00:13:17 pigeonhole themselves into one way of thinking, which this I think is very common. And it's one of the things that we are a huge against, which is, you know, maybe doing like some multi-level marketing thing where you're a part of what's a brand like AVE on or one of those, what a fitness ones. There's what's a fitness one. Give me one that's. Ervilized. Ervilized. Perfect. You know what I'm saying? When you do that, you poison the rest of your career, because
Starting point is 00:13:42 you'll forever be known as the herbalized guy with like the good point like monomy like I know guys that were like huge on monomy and their trainers and they are pushing it like it's this miraculous thing and then the company goes bankrupt. And then in now you're forever tied to the monomy trainer. You're the trainer who was promoting something that was such a crock of shit that the company went back. That's a good one. That's so tying yourself to gimmicks and tying yourself, that goes for any, like I said, I can't think of all the names right off the top of my head, but there's lots of fitness ones right now
Starting point is 00:14:12 where they do these, you join the team and then you sell the program and then you get to be a part of the seminar at the end of the year. They're giving it the beach body. Beach body is another one. It's like that where it's like, you know, just shakes. All you do is shake. Yes, shake all these, one. It's like that where it's like, you know, just shakes. You know, all you need to do is shake. Yes, shake all of a, all these, if you're a trainer,
Starting point is 00:14:29 tying yourself to something like this, I think is the biggest mistake you can make because you know what, you better hope to God that you make your million. You're that one percent of the one percent of the one percent that actually makes a million bajillion dollars off of that. Oh, and you have to work your ass off to make any money doing that stuff for them.
Starting point is 00:14:46 You're making them a lot of money. And then you forever taint yourself. You forever taint yourself and you'll spend the next five to 10 years if you can actually last in the fitness industry still trying to get rid of that stigma. I think that's a great point. I think. Boom, Sal.
Starting point is 00:15:01 Boom. No, no, hold on. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, I'm interjecting to hear how much that smokes. He said flyers. Okay, let's just, no, no, hold on. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait So this is different. If you're an independent trainer, one of the biggest mistakes that I see is that the trainer brands himself as basically like a company, like it just makes up some random name. And I've guilty of this too, because what I've found in my experience is that people are buying you.
Starting point is 00:15:42 You are the product. That's a good point. Very good point. And so like, for me to wrap myself around some like, stupid name that I came up with, I think is cool and it's got a great logo and all this kind of stuff. Which in your defense, in your defense, being a guy who went through school and business, right? You, it business tells you to do that, right?
Starting point is 00:16:00 Think big, think long-term future in 20 years. I'm not gonna have employees, I'm not gonna be Justin Andrews fitness. Everybody working for me, I'm gonna be some, I'm gonna be Google in 20 years. I'm not gonna have employees and that'll be just an Andrew's fitness Everybody working for me. I'm gonna be shim. I'm gonna be Google Yeah, you know saying I'm not gonna have employees, you know, unless you actually have a gym and and then that's that's your whole Nobody wants to work out with synergy, you know, I mean they want to work out with Justin Andrews That's it. It's it's just an Andrews and so then I started marketing and promoting myself as Justin Andrews had way better You know I started marketing and promoting myself as Justin Andrews. I had way better, you know, return from that and like efforts and people responding to that because not only that, but then I put my phone number.
Starting point is 00:16:33 It's like me, my phone number, you know, like cut to the chase. Like all this other shit is fluff. Yeah, people want, people should know your name if you're a trainer. That's how you get yourself out there. They know you, they know your name, they know your face. After listening to those two good ones, can you come up with a better one now? Go get your full name and last name domain.
Starting point is 00:16:54 Well, I'm talking about, look, the average trainer that's listening right now is thinking for themselves and very few of them are thinking about doing body, shakeology and herbal life. That's why that didn't even pop up in my head. I've never had a trainer work for me do that, but I know I have known other people doing body, you know, shakeology and herbal life. That's why that didn't even pop in my head. I've never had a trainer work for me do that, but I know I have no other people doing it, but I know I have known most trainers start
Starting point is 00:17:11 as personal trainers independently. And every single one of them makes a mistake of investing $500 on, you know, $5,000 flyers and getting nothing in return. I've seen that happen five trillion times. That's why I call that out. But I'll tell you one of the best things you could do, because we're giving you the worst mistakes.
Starting point is 00:17:26 Here's one of the best things you could fucking do. Literally, stand outside your gym and go up to people and talk to people and offer a free assessment and book one. I swear to God, that alone is the easiest fucking thing you could do. It sounds stupid. It's super easy.
Starting point is 00:17:40 I could stand outside any gym and book at least one assessment in a couple hours. All you need is an infrease. I mean stand outside any gym and book at least one assessment in a couple hours. Why you need is in front of you. I mean, you get this rapport, you get everything started turning in the right direction. It's just like just get in front of me. Anything I can do to get you in front of me, I'm going to close you. You just go out and just introduce yourself to people. When I first, when I first bought my gym, exactly. When I first bought my gym, I went to all the businesses around and offered every single owner there free personal training for a while.
Starting point is 00:18:08 I knew they'd refer people and I'd stand outside my door, introduce myself. I just owned this gym. I'm new. Here's my name is Sal, which is a schedule assessment. That's all I did. Years later, I had a trainer come work for me. Her name is Megan. She might be listening right now.
Starting point is 00:18:22 She had no clients. She is a sponge. She literally did exactly what I told her So what should I do? I said live here at the gym sit outside the store and talk to people and A year later she bought my gym off me your your net worth is your net circle Hmm if you guys haven't tuned in and watch it. I'm talking to all you guys right now, too I think Doug said he watched one showtime billions There's a there's a free plug for them for that. That's a great circle. Is your network? Net circle is your network. True network and so that too. Oh, did he say? Oh, great show.
Starting point is 00:18:52 I'm on. It's just started. It's only on episode four. You guys are in the same frequency. Yeah. No, great, great, great show for sure. But yeah, no, your true net worth is your net circle. I mean, building those relationships is, I think, by far one of the best things you can do. It makes a lot of sense. Yeah, if you think of your goal as a personal trainer to book assessments, not sell training, but to book assessments, and then when the assessments come in,
Starting point is 00:19:15 your goal is to sell training. But you're not gonna sell training standing outside the gym and introducing yourself to people. So don't even try. Your goal is simply to get them to schedule an appointment and to get them to show up. Once you get that to happen, before you know what, you'll have a full schedule.
Starting point is 00:19:29 It's literally that hard. It's not that hard. Imagine if you booked, all you did was book one or two assessments a day. That's all you'd need to do. Within a couple months, you'd have some clients. So it's really not that hard. It's hard in the sense that people don't like to do that.
Starting point is 00:19:41 I know especially trainers for whatever reason. They're like afraid to go talk to people. It's very common. It's very, very common. You should be your goal. They'd rather be a website, they'd rather make all kinds of other shit and design a wonderful flyer, then just go outside and shake someone's hand, which is pretty crazy. Next question is from Jenny Mae Lisa Lee. She wants your thoughts on body weight, set point theory, and the second part of the question is, do you think it's possible to change this set point long term? I like this one.
Starting point is 00:20:11 So the body weight set point theory is basically says that you have a body weight number that your body wants you at. Right. And if you go over it, it's best acclimated at this weight. At this weight, you do, is either going to be harder or easier for you to attain. Right, and if you go over it, it's best acclimated at this way at this way do Easy, they're gonna be harder or easier for you to attain you know the further away you get from the set point So first of all before you get all scientific on it because I know you love the dive in right away Do you what let's go around here? Do you believe it? Do you not believe in it? What's your?
Starting point is 00:20:37 I think I know first of all of course you have your genetic body So there's gonna be there's gonna be a range. Like I can never weigh 300 pounds of muscle or I can never weigh 80 pounds of lean body mass. So there's definitely gonna be a range based on your genetics. But the body weight set point theory is bullshit. It's actually was created by the diet companies, by supplement companies, by workout companies to somehow sell you in the fact
Starting point is 00:21:05 that they can change your set point. And so it was a new way to promote their programs. Like we can move your set point. And now your body will always stay at this new leaner body weight. The reality is that no, it's all, it's up to your lifestyle, how you live, how you move. I could take a bunch of people who think their set point,
Starting point is 00:21:23 put some at fat, and I can throw them in the Amazon, have them live with a bunch of Amazonians that like them and guess what? There's set points gonna be that sounds like an excuse You know, you know he can't possibly say yes or no without fucking going into a large detail Like I'm just asking not to do I stop I fucking said just give me a yes or no without giving all the fucking science But it cuz now I just ruins it for Justin and myself to say like of course not it's not either But it would be nice for all the fucking science body, because now I just ruins it for Justin and myself to say like, of course not, it's not either. But it would be nice for us. Oh, I took all the, I took all the lusts here.
Starting point is 00:21:47 Scientific Jesus. I ate all the vanilla. Well, yeah, I'm too big to under. Here's the thing too. This is for sure not true. And I'm living proof of that. I mean, for a long period of my, so once you went here,
Starting point is 00:22:00 my body fully matured as a man, and I'm not growing anymore. I did fall into this kind of weight range, where my body wanted to always be happy at it. And if I discipline really hard on gaining and bulking up or whatever, I add 10 or 15 pounds, and then the moment I stop thinking about it, my body would kind of naturally go back down to 10 or 15 pounds. But over a course of years, and of course of me, educating myself and learning how to train the body properly,
Starting point is 00:22:30 I've added pounds, like one, and small amount, three pounds to five pounds of muscle every single year, and that adds up over a course of 15 years of training. And now my set point is, I'm a 30 to 40 pound different man what I was 10 years ago, you know, and well, doesn't it kind of also remind you of BMI like how like a physician would prescribe you to be like a specific body weight? How stupid that's you're an idiot, right? Yeah, it is just because I'm like over 200 pounds.
Starting point is 00:23:00 Does that really mean that I'm going to die? Yeah, you know, no, we're not accounting for any of my thoughts. They still have those in the dark. Those are awful. B.O.C. do. B.O.M.I. still there. Look, it's stupid. Cut your leg off.
Starting point is 00:23:10 Oh, you wait, went down. You're B.O.M.I. little or you must be healthier. Good job. That's not what happened. Yeah, well, I'm considered obese in that. Oh, yeah. All of us are. We're all of us are obese.
Starting point is 00:23:19 We're all up for all that. Yeah. So, you know, yeah, look at this. That could be true. The average American for this further height is gonna be have a is heavier than the average I don't know other nationality, you know, maybe a European nationality. So does that mean we have a higher set point Does that mean our genes are different? No, we're all we all we all evolve the same work None of we're not that different humans are all pretty similar
Starting point is 00:23:41 We all love all the same work. We're not that different. Humans are all pretty similar. The set point theory was a marketing technique. It was real popular in the 90s. I remember they had these diet, you know, when you'd watch late 9 TV and they'd have these diet, like, you know, buy our diet book and they'd be like,
Starting point is 00:23:57 trick your set point. Yeah, we could change your set point. And it's just like, oh, that's fucking brilliant marketing. Like everybody else is making me lose weight. That's where that came from. That's where it came from. Diet for your body type. Which is probably exactly why Ginny's fucking brilliant marketing. Like everybody else is making me lose weight. That's where that came from. That's where it came from. Died for your body tag. Which is probably exactly why Ginny's asking this question.
Starting point is 00:24:09 I'm sure she's seen it marketed. I'm a pair. Marketed to us and that, which is why she also is following up with, do we believe it can change it? So, okay, now I'm glad you put that out because now here's a thing that, I hope she's not listening to somebody tell her that right now that, hey, you can change your set point and is marketing that tour and
Starting point is 00:24:29 then we're agreeing that you can change. Yes, you can change your set point. But there was no set point to begin with. Yeah, except there was no set point to begin with and there's, and here's a Doug brought something up when he was writing the question. He was writing the question and he made a comment about our, our habits. You know, what we tend to do is we tend to go back to whatever our habits are. And there's your set point.
Starting point is 00:24:48 And exactly, you've created that though. You've created those habits. Do you skip breakfast all the time? Do you always eat this at this time? Do you typically, you know, overeat on Friday nights? And then you know what I'm saying? You kind of have these patterns where humans, we fall into these patterns and eating patterns and exercise patterns.
Starting point is 00:25:04 And we create these set points. And that's why that's why when they did this marketing and they said set point, it rang a bunch of bells. That's why everybody at resonated. They're like, Oh my God, you're right. No matter what I do. It's another crunch. I'm 230 pounds.
Starting point is 00:25:15 I was at people can gravitate towards a fly. Right. Because you got to change, you want to change your set point, you just change the way you live. And so in reality, there is no set point. It all has to do with how you live. Of course, there's limits to that. You're not gonna get taller if you're already certain height.
Starting point is 00:25:30 You're not gonna gain mass amounts of weight. It'll lose mass amounts of weights if you're with outside your genetic capability. But other than that, now it's up to you. It's all marketing. That being said too, the freaking... What's destiny man? No, when you, what is that when you continue to do the same thing over and over expecting a different
Starting point is 00:25:47 insanity? Yeah, insanity. Definition of insanity is, you know, continuing to do the same thing over and over and expecting a different result. I mean, that's what happens to most these people is they, they, they're looking for all their searching follow stuff, but they just keep going back to the same patterns, you know, whether it be they train us or intensity. It's for me. Yeah, exactly, you know, it's you you take that set point. Colin Slayer is asking about challenges with working with childhood obesity clients and any tips you may have. Childhood.
Starting point is 00:26:16 Doesn't that name know? Does that sound like a highlander? Colin Slayer. Yeah, it kind of does. Yeah, I've been working out to Slayer Slayer. Oh, Slayer. I forgot all about Slayer. Good of does. Yeah, I've been working out to Slayer a lot. Oh, Slayer. I forgot all about Slayer.
Starting point is 00:26:27 I hate that. That's forget about Brat. Just see the text. I said, you guys, I haven't listened to Godsmacking for a year. Oh, I love Godsmacking. Oh, I love Godsmacking. Oh, that's always on my playlist. But Slayer, I forgot all about him.
Starting point is 00:26:37 And Anthrax. Like, I forgot a Pantera. Angel of Daaah! I don't listen to Pantera for like two years. Put Pantera on the other day. And I fucking, I broke the fucking bar I broke the barbell So let's answer five years of pop up. I have no idea what that's deal with fact kids
Starting point is 00:26:51 Here's the get it out. That's fucked up. Wait, what? Chubby so here's a deal with with kids working with kids who are obese The challenge is the parents yeah 100% the parents. It is not the kids Challenge is the parents. 100% the parents. It is not the kids. Because- Don't tell me that, Sal. I'm sorry, you buy the food that your kids eat.
Starting point is 00:27:10 They don't have a car, they can't go buy food. Right. So you're in control of that shit. That's right. And by the way, if your kid is overweight and you're overweight, then there's a pattern. It's gone. There's a little bit of a pattern going on.
Starting point is 00:27:25 So it's gonna happen in the whole family. And very rarely do I see one member of a family losing weight while the others stay in shape, especially if that member of the family is a child. Well, and that's the hardest thing you look at these TV shows where they just exaggerate the environment. So it makes it so it's like achievable to lose all this weight and be fantastic and have all these results.
Starting point is 00:27:50 And then they get home and they just no support. Everybody has these shitty habits. And it's just such an impossible thing to battle. So you know, if you want to think of that as far as like your own household like with kids, like it's definitely a priority. You have to have that. It's, look, if you're the parent in the house, you rule the house. Number one, kids learn from example.
Starting point is 00:28:12 So if you sit around all day and you eat shitty, then it's gonna be very difficult to tell your kids to do otherwise. It's almost impossible. You're better off doing it with them. Now if you are doing that kind of stuff and your kid still has issues, turn all the electronics off. I mean, you make the rules in the house, you're just like, okay, son,
Starting point is 00:28:30 you get 30 minutes of electronics when you come home from school, and then that's it. And I guarantee you, that's for them to move. That's it, and I guarantee you, they will figure out some shit to do that involves movement.
Starting point is 00:28:41 They will complain, piss, and moan for about a week and cry and whatever. And then next thing you know, they're outside doing shit. And I know myself, I'm guilty this sometimes. Like your kids go outside, all of a sudden you have to pay attention to them what they're doing. Yeah. They come in their dirty, like fuck,
Starting point is 00:28:56 you brought mud in the house. Yeah, they get in the bath. It's so much easier to be like put on the TV or get on your computer and your iPad and not do anything. But the reality is it starts with the parents. Any time I've had a challenge, it was with the parents. Well, every single time. I want you guys to talk about something that you've talked about before is learning how
Starting point is 00:29:14 to address the kid, too. Oh, yeah. So, you know, why don't you talk a little bit about that? Because I think out of all the things I've heard you guys talk about, that's probably one that will forever stick with me and I know that with me going forward, raising a child, that would be something that I would be conscious of. And I had never thought about it
Starting point is 00:29:29 until you guys had talked about that. Yeah, 100% Adam's talking about how you bring this issue up with a child who is overweight. And what you don't want to do is you don't want to associate the exercise and diet with weight loss or your fat or your skinny or we need to make you look better because a child can and usually will, if this becomes the center focus of their life, will become an issue for them later on in life.
Starting point is 00:29:58 It'll become a body image issue and that can be defeating. It can defeat the whole purpose. So you wanna word it in a way of this is fun, this is good for you, we're doing this together. It's gonna make you feel really great. It makes you feel smarter when you do your homework and it's healthier for you.
Starting point is 00:30:18 I think you look harder. That's it. Make it in those terms in terms of positivity and not in terms of appearance. Otherwise, it won't be good. I've seen it with kids where I've trained girls. I trained pageant competitors. Oh my God, you wanna talk about body image issues, man.
Starting point is 00:30:36 They make bodybuilders look like the most secure people on earth. And some of these pageant competitors will come in. And these are young girls, dude. 17 years old. Those things are so ridiculous. And they're talking about, you know, bulimia and, you know, I take these diet pills and their moms will come in with them and hire me
Starting point is 00:30:54 and they'll tell me, my daughters Flabby here and they'll grab their daughters, frickin' love handle or whatever, they're back at their leg. And do you see the cellulite? Can you make the cellulite go away? And I have more than once giving the parents extremely dirty look, taking them outside
Starting point is 00:31:07 and letting them know exactly how it's gonna work if they hire me and how that is completely inappropriate. And if I hear them say that again, I won't trade it. I haven't actually never had that. I'll train a page competitor and you'll see some very good. That's crazy. No, it's not. Have you ever had that just, I've never had that.
Starting point is 00:31:21 I, it was, it was like, I thought I've trained everything. I have a pageant kid. Not a pageant kid. No, but like he's saying, like I've never had that. It was, it was like, I thought I've trained everything. I have a passion kid. Not a pageant kid. No, but like he's saying, like I've had a parent before sort of address the obesity part of it is like, yeah, he just sits around and eats like, you know, notches and like, doesn't do anything. He's not doing anything. Like totally belittling this kid, yeah, like right in front of me and I just had to stop him.
Starting point is 00:31:45 And I was like, look, we'll address all these issues and all this stuff. Let's make this fun. I mean, the kid is here. I'm not going to make this a torturous thing. This isn't just about me being drill sergeant and you're losing weight because you're fat. No, no, no. It's like, wow, look at this like new thing that we can experience and like, you know,
Starting point is 00:32:08 get educated about yourself and like, how to move better, how to feel better, how to like, you know, apply things and like, you know, really creating this tool for this kid to, you know, adopt to the concept of it. Like, you know, like, what are you into? You know, what are you, oh, find out that Rue likes swimming. Oh, awesome.
Starting point is 00:32:28 Guess what? Like, let's just swim. Let's go swim, let's go do that. Let's get you out in the ocean. You know, let's find things like surrounding these interests, you know, that we can really like get this kid associated with. And it's just like, ah, I don't wanna get in there and grind the weights and like,
Starting point is 00:32:45 have them do jump rope and burpees. Very few kids find that fun. You know what I'm saying? They're some kids that find it fun. But they will not have an issue with the whole childhood obesity. I've had a couple of clients like that. They just need to move and have fun.
Starting point is 00:32:56 Yeah, that's it. And you know, it's funny. I had, I just actually got a message from the Instagram page, Modern Day Dads. And he wanted me to do a post and talk about school lunches and stuff. And I haven't done it yet,
Starting point is 00:33:08 but I did a little bit of research. I looked at pictures of average school lunches in America. Holy shit, have you seen? I forgot what they look like. It's basically starch, processed meat, and sugar. There's like nothing else in these school lunches. And this is what we're feeding the kids. And why?
Starting point is 00:33:24 Because it's cheap, because it's all subsidized. Corn and wheat and cheese. We die in our system, that won't go away. And it's no wonder that we have this problem. This is what we're giving our children in schools as well. Very scary stuff.
Starting point is 00:33:36 Very, very scary stuff. And then we're cutting out physical activity, you know, like, program and all these things. That's the first thing to go is the physical, like, the sporting events, the, the after school things, like, all these things where kids would actually, like, move around and get, get extra movement in their day, other than just sitting there, you know, being sedentary all day, trying to absorb whatever it is the teachers, like, throwing at them.
Starting point is 00:34:00 Well, it wasn't that long ago that type two diabetes was called adult onset diabetes. That was the name of it. It wasn't type two. They used to call it. It wasn't that long ago that type two diabetes was called adult onset diabetes. That was the name of it. It wasn't type two. They used to call it. It wasn't that long ago. It changed that. It was like the 90s when it was adult onset diabetes. Now it's type two because kids get it.
Starting point is 00:34:16 It's no longer adults that develop it. Children get tired. You know what else is interesting? The posture is a real factor to this childhood obesity epidemic. And what's interesting is just the way that like, ergonomically we have these deaths set up and we have all these like sedentary long-term classes
Starting point is 00:34:37 like all scheduled. And these kids, they never, they're always in the state of hunched over, you know, protracted shoulders and they're never getting this proper extension. And that's why I respect this guy, this Dr. Ed Thomas. He's, he's created this whole new protocol for schools, like in Iowa, I believe. And he's, he actually has a specific type of a seat where it keeps him upright and have to engage their core. And they, and they're, guess what?
Starting point is 00:35:05 They're, yeah, they're academics are like a superior to, to surrounding schools because they're so focused and they take breaks. They take breaks and then do these like calisthenics because it's important. Guess what? Like learning and moving are simultaneously like it's,'s it's a pair that needs to happen in order for you to absorb and learn. Well, you know how kids learn kids learn through play. Yeah, that's how kids learn through movement and touch and play. Matt through sitting and watching. Do you imagine the three of us like in our later on being like teachers and like a really English
Starting point is 00:35:40 teacher, a math teacher like that and like with this stuff that we would implement. Oh yeah. Imagine like someone walking down the hallway, looking at what the fuck? John squatted, 325 kilograms. How many pounds is that? Yeah, math class. That's great. Sean P6298, posterior imbalances that cause knee pain.
Starting point is 00:35:59 Oh, you must be talking about posterior chain. Did you forget to put chain there, Doug? I must have. So he's talking about we... About my posterior. Imbalances in the hips. We'll talk about the posterior chain. Did you forget to put chain there? I must have. Okay. So he's talking about we my posterior in in balances in the hips. We'll talk about the posterior chain first. The posterior chain represents all the muscles that represent extension in the body and they're all on the backside of the body. So that's everything from erector spinae, you know, even the lats can even be considered some of the posterior chain, but the main ones that he's talking about are the glutes hamstrings.
Starting point is 00:36:29 Yeah, glutes hamstrings and calves, I would say. But the majorly, basically the muscles that make the lumbar pelvic hip area, and why imbalances there can cause knee pain. We talked about this a little bit in the imbalances episode, I believe, which we have already aired. If your hips are weak and the hips are super mobile, they can move in all kinds of different directions. They're very dynamic. The knees are not even close to as dynamic in the hips as the hips. They can just flex and extend.
Starting point is 00:36:58 If my hips are weak or tight, then the ligaments of my knee tend to have to support that weakness because the knees don't move in the same directions that the hips do. And so it tends to cause knee pain. Not only that, but having poor hip extension causes, tracking issues with the kneecap and all kinds of issues. So, so weak hips almost always will cause a dysfunction in the knee joint. Well, and also like, if you don't have strong posterior to your chain like you don't have strong hamstrings glutes
Starting point is 00:37:27 Like you're not gonna be able to decelerate properly and this is a lot of times where a lot of people get injuries because of that In balance like you're you're so dominant You know through anterior chain Well, it's also probably why the most one of the most common injuries is hamstring being blown for athletes baseball player running to first base white receiver catching a touchdown. His hamstring blows and goes because just quite so quaddom and he's peddling so hard with his quads, but his hamstrings can't keep up with his quads and then end up going and they give.
Starting point is 00:37:56 Right. Yeah. If you think of running really fast, right? You push off the floor, your foot comes up, then you go to extend that foot real quick to hit the ground again. That's where the hamstring tear comes because the hamstring is, is, in that particular point, decelerating the extension of the knee and then quickly transferring to extension of the hip. And if the hamstring is weak and the quad and the hip flex are strong,
Starting point is 00:38:19 they're going to extend that knee real fast and that hamstring can't keep up. Boom. And it tears. Same reason why people will tear muscle and the rotator cuff, because again, it's a muscle responsible for extend that knee real fast and that hamstring can't keep up. Boom. And it tears. Same reason why people will tear muscle in the rotator cuff, because again, it's a muscle responsible for deceleration. Hips, if you keep your hips strong, your knees will likely be healthy and your lower back will likely be healthy.
Starting point is 00:38:37 And you'll be a fucking kick ass athlete. Actually, actually, if you want to be a powerful athlete, you have to have strong hips. I can't think of a single sport. I'd say all sports. Yeah. Where these guys don't have, these athlete, you have to have strong hips. I can't think of a single sport. I'd say all sports, yeah. But where these guys don't have, these guys and girls don't have powerful hips. You think a guy punching its own is arm? Yeah, no.
Starting point is 00:38:52 No, it's coming from his hips. Yeah, one hundred, it's like a whip. Yep, you know, and the hand is the end of that whip. It generates it. So for people who start squatting, a lot of times I recommend that they do things like single leg toe touches, hip thrusts off the floor, you know, exercise that strength in that hip extension. And then when we go
Starting point is 00:39:10 do a squat, you could see them firing properly. Otherwise, you get the squat, like, you know, you do your squat assessment and the person tries to do a squat. And they go down the squat and the knee moves, the knees move way forward. Yeah. And the butt kind of tucks. Heels come off the floor. Boom. You know, right away, hips are not firing the way they should. Keep in mind too, when we talk about hips strength, too, we're including mobility in there. Sure. Because that's an important part of that too, is being able to... It's just as important.
Starting point is 00:39:34 Because, you know, some people might be able to squat pretty good or might have strong hips because they're powerful because they do one movement like that. But if they don't incorporate other movements or... Supported increased range of motion. Yes, exactly. So then you can be overtight, right? Overactive in your hip area, which could end up causing pain down there too,
Starting point is 00:39:52 because now everything is shortened and contracted and you're having a hard time moving through full range of motion. So a long with strength is also, you know, mobility. I would say with mobility, you see a lot of, if you have poor hip mobility, you see meniscus tears, quite common, because the hip also rotates. So if I stick my foot out, my leg straight, I can rotate my toes so that they can point
Starting point is 00:40:13 in and I can rotate my toes so that they point out. And so what I'm doing there is internal and external rotation at the hip. The knee doesn't do that. Obviously, my knee stays the same. But the knee has, you know knee has something called a meniscus that prevents it from twisting and holds it in place so it doesn't twist. If I plant my foot and twist and turn and push off
Starting point is 00:40:31 and my hips are tight, the meniscus has to do more work to support the knee. And if the hips are tight and I turn, that meniscus is gonna be under a lot of strain and then I get meniscus tears. And meniscus tears are probably one of the more common minor knee injuries we see in the gyms and it's because of mobility. And we're also very, very different.
Starting point is 00:40:50 We've all had that friend who could stand there and open their feet completely all the way open or pigeon toe themselves all the way in because they've got that great range motion. That's totally genetic that person has something like that. A lot of that. You can improve it. I mean, I have poor internal rotation. I have great external rotation.
Starting point is 00:41:04 So I know if I get twisted the other way, I know I'm at risk for meniscus tear, but I work on it. So no. Final question. Joseph Aurelua 89. Do you have any phobias? Adam should go first. Really? Clowns. No, my phobia. Yeah, it was caused by being being young when we were younger. We would run out of toilet paper and that's what what would you wipe your butt with? Well, it didn't be in like paper towels or tissue paper or whatever. You could hope you get your hands on it or the baby wipes came in. Yeah, well, this is where like I'm, you know This is a big thing for me. So I have a phobia so see to walk around with a mud butt Have I ever told the mud but I I ever told the toilet paper story? Have I told the
Starting point is 00:41:47 toilet paper story? Why? I my, no, no, dude, fucking tell it. I mean, you told everything else about your butthole. All my clients give me toilet paper every year for my birthday. I told you. Do they really? Yeah. So, okay, well, here, this is how this, how this worked out. So I mean, the dark on this one. Those that have been trainers for a long time know that lots of, you know, your clients, especially your. Those that have been trainers for a long time know that lots of, you know, your clients, especially your loyal clients have been with you for a long time, you know, by gifts for you. And sometimes they buy really nice gifts,
Starting point is 00:42:11 especially when they're with you for a really long time. I think I have talked in previous episodes about, I have this condition where I'm a horrible receiver, just because I've learned to numb myself. You break it for the, yeah. Yeah, he's a great pounder You know, see he's a top right There's too much. Yes, I am a
Starting point is 00:42:29 That's enough I do I do enjoy giving I didn't want to give him the green light But I don't do so well with receiving so you know I got so uncomfortable all time during my birthday that I finally just said fuck I'm just gonna keep it real while my people say you know, please don't give me gifts You know if you are gonna get me something then get me something that I will just said, fuck it, I'm just gonna keep it real while my people say, you know, please don't give me gifts. You know, if you are gonna get me something, then get me something that I will use and I need and I'll appreciate and it'll,
Starting point is 00:42:51 and you won't be expecting this huge thing for me. I said, for example, I always have to have toilet paper back up on my toilet paper and that's because, like I said, when I was a kid, we'd run out and then there was nothing like wiping your butt with McDonald's paper towels or what napkins were like. So that's forever squawking.
Starting point is 00:43:08 Bigger, wrapper. Yeah, yeah, whatever. So he's been rough before, right? So because of that, you could always guarantee you can go to my house. I'm a aluminum foil. And even if you think we're out of toilet paper, I have toilet paper stashed throughout my whole house. And I've got told all my clients.

Starting point is 00:43:37 I'd say and it's a big joke, but it's pretty neat. Normally, I get enough toilet paper that I actually don't have to buy toilet paper anymore. My clients buy me enough that it's a blast to me the entire year. And it's awesome. I'm so excited to get it every time because I think it's the funniest thing ever that they do that. It's cheap. The cost didn't probably 20 bucks to give me a gift. And I light up like a Christmas tree and they don't go spend five, six hundred dollars on me and wonder why the fuck I didn't give them like it.
Starting point is 00:44:00 What is the best toilet paper? What is the best? Yeah. Like a quad like Quilt because I actually I I think you would know because you're so into this Yeah, I mean, I mean, I don't have to be crazy with the three-ply.

Starting point is 00:46:02 Navigation system. I would give up fire. If I had to choose between fire and navigation system. I lost on it. I would give up fire. If I had to choose between fire and navigation, I'd give up fire. I'd be like, fuck it. I'll never have fire again. That's how important navigation says, I have the sense of direction. I am so bad with direction. I'm so bad that I could literally, I could drive to the same place every day for five years, not drive there for two months, and not remember how to get.

And I'm like, texting. And then I realize he's about to miss our exit to, to fucking mind pump our studio. And I'm like, hey, bro, you gotta get, you gotta get off right here. And I'm like, can I not text while you drive or what? Is that a fucking gonna be an issue? He's like, bro, you know, I am with directions.

I get and it's it's not just driving It's just my sense of direction like I'll go inside a building and I'll come out and I'll be like where the fuck is the exit like where's the exit I've been lost in Buildings before bro. a fuck anymore. I'm fucking safe man. It's like fucking having toilet paper all the time. Well I am I'm the bad. Thank you Siri. I'm bad with that too so but I think mine. So I have a phobia though. Now do you have a phobia of getting lost? No, no, no, no. See I do because I used to get lost when I first got my license and it was fucking I would get, and I'd be in the middle
Starting point is 00:48:06 of God knows where, and this is before cell phones and shit, and I have to ask random people how to get places, and then I'd miss the turn for the directions, and I have to ask like five people by the time I get home, five hours later, almost that of gas, I'm like, I'm never going further than fucking two streets, two streets, two streets. I have a silly one.
Starting point is 00:48:21 Okay, let me, totally not, you know, like is crazy is that, but like my dad used to, every time I would go up the stairs as a kid, like he would grab my leg. And then I would like freak out, cause like he was just, you know, just playing whatever, whatever. So to this day, like I jump skip up the stairs, like really fast.
