It's like, it's not quite a wine plant. Wine? A plant color? No. It's not purple, it's eggplant. You know, did you guys know that purple's my favorite color? I did. Yeah.

Cause you tried to get us to do a purple map and Justin and I fucking did this. I can't. I can't. No, no, we will not do purple. It would have been perfect because then Prince died and so purple got popular again. And we would have sold more maps. You bad. If it were purple, you know what else? It could have been. What are we? Yeah, Barney. Yeah, Barney was a bad ass dinosaur. It looks good. Is he still is he still happening? No, remember those parties back in the day At least I've like the I hate or like kill Barney parties. No, no, oh just torch things on fire

Just it's on you must belong to some kind of Hey, it's a it's a I'm not alone here. Why it's a guy who people that like backed me up on just like hey guys What are you guys doing? Santa? Oh Barney parties? I got invited to a break Come on. It's a guy who you feel that like backed me up on just like you guys. What are you guys doing? Saturday kill Barney parties. I got invited to a break shit party. You guys want to go? You guys never did that stuff. Thirdly, we back up here. You're so alone.

Back up back up back up back up back up. What do you there's a kill Barney? Kill Barney. It was a thing, dude, because he was so fucking annoying. He was. People like me and my friends, uh, we used to have these parties. Okay, so yeah, it's fun. So it's like you get like a pinata

and you know, you just sit on fire. And you know, I mean, these were real? It was destructive, yeah. Or just you and your forefinger. No, no, it was a thing. Like people did things. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm gonna Google that.

Could you Google it? Could you Google that Google Master? No, yeah, I could, but it seems excessively violent. I mean, you know what I'm saying? It's I mean, we were all like crazy youth, you know,

instant shit. They were horny. What do you want? Yeah, they were horny. He hadn't had sex out. This is true. Yeah, that was very true. Just break.

Yeah. Well, that's what you do when you're not, you know, we used to get in your room. We used to teepee houses. That's a little, a little less. Did you really?

Yeah. Yeah, don't you do a lot of that? I did. Less arson. But, but T you would TP like random people's houses? Or you know, no, no, no, no, when you were in high school, you always TB the cute girls, but they're house, you know, say anyone to their parents house and you TV. You get your attention. Yeah. Yeah. Exactly. So stuff.

It's like one step up from punching the girl that you like, you know, you used to do that. We get through acorns at this poor girl. One time I think fit. from punching the girl that you like, you know, we used to do that. We used to get through eight corns at this poor girl on time. I think fifth, fifth through eighth grade, you poke and you pinch girls that you like when you get to nine through 12th grade, you teeping their house.

Yeah. So as a college, you just pay. Let me just say something. As a homeowner, I would be the shit out of kids teeping my house. There would be no mercy. Well, especially guys like me, because we used to do it,

and we used to get it wet too. Yeah. If I woke up in the middle of the night and saw kids teaping my house, they'd be dead. And it'd be in jail. There would be a couple warning shots in the air and then Mr. Anderson.

Mr. Anderson, there's a long time, there's a long story that we've always, I won't share it, but. Oh, that's nice. I'll give you the short. The first time he's filtered himself. No, short version of it. We used to do this so much that every weekend we were doing different stuff and, uh, there,

there was a guy, Mr. Mr. Anderson, that was his last name. And he got caught and he came out and he chased us and he had a shotgun. And he's in his underwear. Yes. I don't think he was really going to shoot us but it's just scared the shit out of us. And you never went back, did you? No, we did never go back to it.

Yeah, that was the last time we did, although we did other things like. Then we got some bird shot right at that. He damn kids. Ah! Then we then we egg his house from distance and do stuff like that, which is probably worse. Yeah.

So you know what though, I empathize now with Mr. Anderson, though, you know what I mean? Okay, like punk ass kids like out of here. Let's let's let's let's be honest here When's the last time you did something like that? Were you egg the house or you did some stupid shit like that? And I see you guys smiling because I guarantee you It's not like thirteen college. I do it. See was I don't know. We just it was we're bored I mean that's really what happens. We don't have a car. a car you do dumb shit. Why don't girls do shit like this? They just don't like girls are like

Oh my god, what do you want to make sure that I'm bored? Let's go vandalize a house. Yeah, that's not fun It's a boys thing but for me I can kind of get excited about it. I don't know why it's a male thing girls Girls do pillow fights in their lingerie. Whoa. That's what I saw I saw that too That's what I go into I saw that too. That's what I, that's what it goes on in my head. That's what happens. Because we're out TP now something like that idea. I put you, there's a bunch of sorority girls right now hitting each other with pillows. They bounce around in lingerie.

You guys don't picture that too. I used to, but now that I'm 38, I'm not going to say that. I need to get a ladder because that sounded creepy. Oh, we're supposed to stop. Yeah, we're done. I'm not gonna say that. I need to get a ladder. Cause that sounded creepy. Yeah. For us supposed to stop. Yeah, we're done. I'm just kidding, actually. We're done.

What's the youngest that a guy, our age, let's say, mid to late 30s? Like, you're not allowed to like talk about girls that's younger than like 25, right? I mean, wouldn't you say? Yeah, I can't be like, oh, I'm, look, check out that 21 year old. You talk.

I think you get right. The double digits, you get right to 10 years is about thought, I think you get right, the double digits, you get right to 10 years is about pushing it. That's about right, huh? Yeah, 10, because I know a lot of people that have been there. But once you, as you get older though, I think it changes. Like if you're seven, then you're dating a 40 year old, like champion.

Yeah. Well, no, you're, yeah, you're winning all the room. But then again, if you're, if you're, you know, 38, almost 40 like you and you're dating 25, that's pretty champion status too. Yeah, yeah, that's not bad. pretty champion status too. Yeah, yeah. That's not bad. But they're crazy.

Yeah, more than likely she's got some serious daddy issues. And that's why she's with you. Yeah, yeah. You actually you strike me as a guy that probably tracks a lot of women like that. Daddy, daddy, she's like, why? You just do. I don't know. But you have that authoritarian, you know,

you know, I will grow. This is hilarious. I'm sure I am actually sure because this is the winner I will guide you he's knows some stuff Yeah, I'm almost certain between 28 20 and 29 years old. It's probably your wheelhouse actually you can I'm pretty sure that is actually just because I mean you you do you come off as the father figure tell me tell me what to do in more ways than one Two I will teach you the ways oh my god oh my god you get and then we wonder why

evil Jedi wonder why our forum members can get crazy oh my god I love our show they're out of control yeah well I mean I have to delete shit you know sometimes and you know I've had told a couple guys yeah you might want to be and you know, I've had to have told a couple guys, yeah, you might want to be, you know, no one, I'm not post that kind of stuff, but yeah, our audience is crazy, like we are apparently. I'm so, I had no idea. I have to say I'm so torn about that too,

because there is a immature side of me that wants to really get into that, and I really want to throw. Oh, are you kidding me? That's my favorite thing. Yeah, because I'm totally that guy that says, totally inappropriate things that are off the wall and totally wrong.

Because I think that's funny to me. The text and the pictures that we share amongst ourselves is borderline. Yeah, well, sick. Yeah, it dugs that borderline. It's horrible. The best part about it though is this is the best part. We sent each other horrible shit.

I think the goal is to shock the other person to the laughter. Yeah, just shock them into laughter. I bet you're gonna laugh at this horrible thing and then they to shock the other person to laugh. Yeah, just shock him in the laugh. Like, I bet you can't, I bet you're gonna laugh at this horrible thing and then they do and everybody's going to hell. Right. But the best part about this is me, Adam and Justin are on this group text, but someone's dug. So Doug, Doug's gonna see this shit. Oh my god. I know what Doug does and we didn't censor ourselves. No, I remember.

He saves it. Oh, I'm sure he does blackmail just in case He's dumb man at one point what's we finally have all this money saved up I'm taking 90% by the way. Here's your new salaries Yeah, we're like what the fuck you guys just keep pumping out those bros This wasn't even for 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, split. How does Doug get 80% and we got to split the other 20 between the pictures that you said. That's why that he's gonna post on freaking reddit. Blackmail. Hey, so one of these members came up to me today and I don't know if this is a topic long enough to really talk long on, but I think it's an important one. An important one.

In point Wayne. In point one. Fuck you, bro. So when three episodes since I made a word. No, I like. I always feel bad sometimes. I can't. No, I always do that. Yes. I have to point somebody out. It's a point. I know.

It's the important thing. You're gonna forget. I know you're such a jerk, dude. I've been off my hookdum. I saw an expert like a month now. And he got a ride away, sir. It was because he been even like on point all articulate. I can't even do that.

He's gonna forget. Let him go. All right. Katrina got so mad at me the other day when we, what were we do? Oh, Sarah and Dipty. She's like, why do you have to make yourself sound like such an idiot sometimes?

Why? I'm like honey, I didn't know. You're like baby, it's natural. Yeah, I can't. It wasn't an important, coming some slack. I wasn't, I wasn't trying to be an idiot. I just am an idiot. All right, go.

All right, so listen, so client walks up, not client, member walks up to me and says, hey Adam, what do you think about those places where they check your gate when you're running and then they tell you, oh, these shoes are best for you. What shoes are best for me for running? I mean, well, first of all, that is not a quick easy answer. Although that could be a topic for Mind Pump,

I say we could address because I have a couple opinions on those places. Yeah, because there was a barefoot running movement there that was there for a little while, and there's one camp that believes in minimalist shoes, I guess they call them, these are shoes with minimal support or no support, versus people who believe in maximum support.

I don't remember the brand of shoe, but those one in particular that's got like, I mean, it looks like you're walking on like moon shoes. Yeah, yeah, but they're super corrective and they're super comfortable. Here's a deal with, remember those orthotic ones that are like the spring loaded ones too?

Oh yeah, those are popular for a while too. Here's a thing with your feet. If you live in the modern world, chances are, since you were able to walk, you've worn shoes with some kind of support. So your entire life, the vast majority of walking, running, exercising, any activity on your feet has involved some type of supportive shoe.

Even a, even a basic basic flat like Chuck Taylor, or you know, you know, converse still offers more support than being barefoot. And your foot is full of muscles. If you look at an enemy chart and you look at the bottom of the foot, it's got tons of muscles and moving parts. And so your foot has basically taken the shape of walking in shoes.

Your toes are squished together. If you look at people who walk around barefoot all the time, their toes are all spread apart. Their foot looks very different. Thick callus on the bottom. Most of our feet, you know, you walk on a rock and you probably cut it. So to go from walking and running and doing shoes, you know, shoes all the time to all of a sudden wanting to go barefoot and do everything, you're getting that a good idea. Two extreme.

Two extreme. Yeah. You got to work your way towards doing that kind of stuff. Now, the whole barefoot movement came from observing people who are always barefoot, always walk barefoot, always ram barefoot, and people watch them run or scientists at least. And it is superior. It is, if you have a well-developed foot and ankle

and you've been barefoot your whole life, running that way is more natural for the body. You've got more shock absorbers in the heel and the foot and it's better off, but for the vast majority of people, man, if I take the average person from outside and say, yeah, we're gonna have you go running like someone who doesn't even run and you should wear minimal issues,

they'll hurt themselves if they're not careful. Okay, well, here's what about the other extreme? You know, where they assess their gate and they see, oh, you have kind of an imbalance or an inversion right here. Oh, correct it with the shoe. So then they correct it with inserts into the shoe, which is kind of more along the lines of what she was asking me. I see.

So, and I think that's important to know too that, you know, if you have like some sort of inversion in your feet when you run or like a slight extra rotation or your gate is off. And anyway, whatsoever, you notice like the wearing of your shoes on one side more than the other. Putting a sole different to correct it is like it's a bandit. It's a bad idea. It's a cast. Yeah, because there's the problem. I'll tell you what the problem is, there is no in middle, there is no middle ground. Because I would say ideally, let's focus on the muscle and balances and recruitment patterns that are going to make your gate better versus

Bandating it with a thick, you know, insult. However, They should have a staging process. I think ideally and I bet if you're listening and you want to start a company I think this would be great. Crutching the regress. Yeah, start them off with what they need to make them walk a certain way, and then slowly regress them down to removing it and having them work on those muscles that strengthen that position. I think that'll be better than one or the other,

you know what I'm saying? Because it's hard to correct those imbalances when they walk around all day long. Yeah, I'm saying. Yeah, and it's all interrelated. I mean, your feet, they're definitely going to affect your gait, your knees, and then your hips are going to get involved. So there's like, I mean, between the feet and between the hips,

like everything in between is going to get affected by that. So in the other thing, with the feet, like, you know, unless you're walking around, like, you have to build up some serious calluses, you know, for you to like do well on certain types of surfaces and all these things like that. So even like running on pavement for me, it's like I have to have a specific type of support because just to absorb some of that shock

because it's so, you know, so much of a pounding force that's driving up through my bones. And, uh, you know, that's just something I'll consider like if I'm doing a specific type of event or a sport or something like I need support for that or like basketball, for instance, so basketball, I'm jumping and I need like more ankle support. Uh, and that's just because of the explosiveness of it. You know, I need to have that available. I could do it in Chuck Taylor's, like they did in the old school days,

but like Celci, I got accustomed to that, like going through programs with more supported shoes. So I can't get too far from that. It's a crutch that we were basically have been in for our entire walking lives. Think about all the hours of the day that you walk and run and exercise and move and shoes and any kind of shoes. It's the vast majority of time you're in shoes.

I mean, it's kind of interesting. It's strange if you think about it, you know what I'm saying? But our feet have been come, I mean, I'm, you know, 38 now, right? So, or I'm turning 38 next year. And so my foot has, it's grown to be a foot that works well in a shoe. It has not grown over those years to being a foot that doesn't work well in a shoe. So it's an interesting situation because I can see the, I can see in both camps, the, the worthy orthotics because if you don't correct those imbalances in the feet,

the orthotics provide, definitely provide relief. Like if you're getting back pain from bad foot, you know, position, and turning off a signal that you need to turn off. Yeah, I mean, it will make back pain go away if that's the cause of it, that's the root cause of it. But if I strengthen the imbalances and make myself work better,

without it, that will do the same thing. But there's gotta be a way to go in between, because I can't imagine, I'm not a foot or ankle expert, it's probably the one part of the body where I know the least in terms of correctional exercise. And I'm saying, yeah. But I can't imagine trying to correct an imbalance in the foot, and in the ankle when the person

is constantly reinforcing a bad recruitment pattern all day long by walking all day. Like my one hour, what's so important for you to then focus to like, you want to, you want to have it supported when you're doing your everyday activity. So your recruitment pattern changes, but really it's the strengthening process and mobilizing process that you're doing in contrast to that. So when I'm at home and I'm doing ankle mobility drills and I'm walking around barefoot and I'm trying to really feel my feet in its groove and walk the way I'm supposed to walk.

So that's a great point. I mean, I think I suggest lifting weights and flat shoes for the most part. I do sometimes support squat shoes, but other than that, it's pretty much flat shoes, but barefoot or would be, would be awesome too. I mean, no gym allow it, but I'm kind of, I don't know if I'm, I'm, I guess I'm kind of like you or I'm in both camps to a point, although in my experience, almost every client that's had some sort of issue with it like this, like if I had noticed that they have inversion in their foot

and they're like I said, the shoot, you can always tell by the way. Yeah, because the shoot has the wear on the bottom. On the bottom. Yeah, I almost always, this is, this go more medial to body again, this is hip related, something going on. And this person that I'm talking about right now,

you know, she brought that up and then I started asking her questions about, you know, everything else on her body, like in just so happens to be that same side, her IT and her performance are extremely tight. So and more so on that side than another side. So simply putting a crutch in there to alleviate whatever, maybe low back pain, she's getting on that side, or you know, fix her gated tiny bit. Because now we have that, I think you're doing such a disservice to that person, especially if they're going to go and they're going to continue to run, run, run, run, pound away on it because we're not addressing. And to me, those are a lot easier to address than you think it is. So I know you say like, you know, you don't think you're much of an expert when it comes to, you know, the foot's

corrective stuff with the foot, but more often than not, it's not so much with the foot. I mean, although it's that's just assuming that the issues with the foot. Yeah. But you're saying it's completely relevant. Well, and it's very common. And it's, yeah, exactly. It's very rare that it, in fact, I, I, off the top of my head, I can't think of one case that it wasn't something that was going on. Either they had something like a major, like knee injury. And then now that's caused the imbalance all the way on that side or something related all the way to their hips where they're in balance. And now it's causing this all the way down.

I've actually had a client with orthotics that was addressing a specific issue, but just because of the different recruitment pattern, it gave her back problems. And so this is another thing that now was sudden I've recro- I've caused a different recruitment pattern that's overactive and I'm not addressing the way that my mechanics should be aligned properly with my feet and with my knees and my hips to where that's

just going to create a new problem that I have to address and mobilize. Excellent point. And Adam, you made something popping in my head when you're talking about how a lot of times the Embalances are not coming from the foot of the ankle but start way up at the hip which is if is a Great observation and when you said that you made me think about it and I was almost every single time That was the problem as well when it when I've had clients where there was an issue specifically with the ankle or foot It's been medically diagnosed. And here's the other thing I was thinking about.

Since we've almost always been in shoes, and shoes are engineered to be pretty balanced, then that wearing on the shoe, wearing it down because their foot is hitting the ground so wrong, is coming from the hips. It can't be coming from the foot. If it came from the foot, the shoe would correct it very easily, but the hip is probably what's causing most of those problems. That's a very, very good point. And again, considering we're always in shoes anyway, and the clients that I've trained,

you know, you may be thinking about that, I definitely see that more. That is usually the issue. Well, and this has been, I think it's a good topic because, you know, we're talking about the foot we're addressing that. And I think this is a very common area. But like I said, everybody starts to look at that. The same thing goes for your upper body and starting to look towards the shoulder. The hip and shoulder, they can move in so many different planes.

They're so unique compared to the rest of our joints. The rest of our joints are normally hinging joints and they only move in one, maybe you know, one, maybe two planes where the, you've got your, your hips and your shoulders are moving in all different directions. And unfortunately, we spend most of our time in the sagittal plane. That's all we're doing. We're, we're walking forward or back at most. And so our, especially if you're like this person who we're talking about right now, who's a runner, and she runs on a treadmill, you know, five to seven days a week, you know, this constant running straight pounding on the body and it's just exaggerating all these issues and it's now causing these major pains. And people always think that where the pain is directly at is where the real problem is and more times than not.

So she's feeling the pain in her ankle foot? Yeah, you know, and notices it. She notices that it's often, I know she went to some, you know, and notices it. She notices that the it's often you go she I know she went to some you know Running revolution place or a store like that and they look at the gate and then they say oh you this is the right shoe And that's the real problem that I have those things. I think what they're doing is excellent I think there's there's a need for the business I'm not like poo pooing the business at all But I will say that you know most people very gives with the poo poo Why don't you like that?

Give me a different one. I just sound, it just sounds like you're, you're trying to make, you're gonna say shit on, so you're trying to be like, yeah, you know, it's poo poo. Yeah, that is what I'm doing. I'm like, I don't write shit on the company and say that it's their worthless. It's a little poo poo. They're not. I think they're great.

They serve their purpose. I just once again, and they're way better than the average tennis shoe store. At's a little poop. They're not. I think they're great. They serve their purpose. I just once again, they're way better than the average tennis shoe store. At least they know what they're talking about. Yeah, this also reminds me a lot of a lot of chiropractors. A lot of chiropractors, they find they've got somebody's got aches, pains, this or that. And they adjust them into neutral spine alignment. So they pop them in the line. Good point.

You know, if you guys were to Google the anatomical position and look like what that skeletal structure looks like in the anatomical position, you would see where our bodies want to be in its most comfortable or most balanced state. Of course, there's variances from individuals. Of course, there's going to be side-inverances based off of each person, but for the most part, none of us look anything like that anatomical position. And the further we are away from it, the more deviated we normally are. And then when I go see a chiropractor, chiropractor, depending on his advanced tools that he has,

he might have a computer screen where he shots shoes, a picture of you and then he sits you down and says, check this out. You know, you even want X-rays. Yeah, right. Well, your hips are elevated a little bit here. And your shoulder is protracted on this side more. You have this legs a little bit long. And they point out all these deviations.

You're like, man, and they make everybody feel like, oh, my God, I'm so fucked up. And then they put you on the table, and then they pop you all back into neutral. And then of course, it feels good, because you take the body and you realign it and pop it back into place. The problem is you're really not addressing the problem.

Well, is it neutral, or is it just that they're not doing the subordered flexion extension? Do you know what I'm talking about? Well, yeah, no, you're, it's like the same thing. I mean, they're not neutral because they're, but they're, you're a new seeing neurological connection somewhere because of us to get them in the neutral spine. It is one thing, but like to be able to

maintain and control and support that function. That's what he's in. He's the function in those different movements. That's the point. I mean, the point is that they'll put you into position, but what's causing you to go out is hasn't been corrected. So this is why you have to go back every single week to the chiropractor and the issues continue to pop up because you haven't corrected the root problem. Now in my experience, when dealing with pain, when I've dealt with clients who've had chronic pain, by far, the absolute best success I ever had

was when I worked with someone, a massage therapist, a really good one that I knew worked on them and a chiropractor worked on them. Sometimes acupuncture and extreme cases, but just those three, me, good correctional massage and good chiropractic, I have seen miracles happen. I have seen miracles happen with people's movement. I've had people come in with frozen shoulder

that are just horrible for years, and then months later, moving it, full range of motion. I've seen some pretty amazing things but that's because you're kind of you know what the what the massage therapist does very well is gets those muscles out of the way those tight ones that are pulling their you know pulling where they shouldn't be pulling. And also deactivating certain muscles that are over active or calming them to fuck down right the chiropractor works with the structure and I strengthened it in that proper structure, what a great combination, but without the root, which is the exercise. Exercise is the root of all of this because you're correcting the way the muscle's fire, correcting the positioning of the body from its root cause. If you don't have that, then all these other things that you do are band-aids, and a lot of times won't last.

That's why I feel like it's very, so this is also why I think our buddies who created the training slate app, I think is really neat, because this is kind of the, what they're trying to do, they're trying to connect that, the physical therapist or the PT with the massage therapist, with the chiropractor, all together. So we're all speaking together about this person's body.

Otherwise, we're all kind of assessing ourselves and trying to figure it out and trying to address it, but not knowing what the other two or three professionals are doing to help this person out. And together, I think we're all phenomenal. Now, of course, I'm biased because I'm a trainer and I think that we can do more good than any of them can do because in a sense, I can give you kind of a deep tissue massage through foam rolling, lacrosse balls and teaching stuff like that. I can teach you mobility work and stuff like that to help take the body through full range

of motion. I can't really adjust you the same way that a chiropractor would, but I most certainly couldn't look at the antagonist muscles that are causing the imbalance and I can start to work and train on those, to start to reposition the body back in a good alignment. So, uh... Well, movement is necessary forever. You know, exercise activities is something you want

to do for your life. We didn't have care practice and physical therapists and stuff back in the ancient times. I mean, it was just movement. Yeah, it's always movement. It's movement's always going to be the root. And if we go deeper than movement, then you can go to everything from emotions to what you're eating inflammation, whatever. But ultimately, if you're moving

in a way, you know, if you look at the joints, the joints, it's not like they move in one way, and that's it. Like there's the shoulder moves in one way, and it doesn't, there's no way to possibly move in other directions or other positions. It can, and if it does move in a way that's not optimal constantly over time, you're gonna have problems in obviously in the shoulder, but it goes down the joint to the way you grab and pull things

all the way up the neck and it can affect all the way down and the hips do the same thing. Well, yeah, and our modern day problems are because we're sedentary. And so that's really the main point to drive home, why we need enterprise, why we need physical therapists, why people are getting injured is because they go from zero to 100 on a specific movement that they have not properly prepared for, and they don't have any mobility in the

joint to support it. So this has got to be one of the reasons why, you know, the big, basic barbell movements are so much more effective than anything else. Like I could take teaching the body to work together because the body works best when it works together. When you have think of it, you know, like the entourage effect, right? The sum of each part is more, it's like multiplying the sum rather than adding it. The body doesn't just, you know, if everything's a level one and everything works together, it comes up to a hundred,

more than the sum of its parts because the body does so well working together. It does so poorly when you're trying to make it move in isolation. And if you constantly move in isolation, you're not going to function very well in everyday life. But it's interesting because I could take a barbell squat, which is a very basic movement. A squatting down is probably squatting down and picking something up off the ground. Probably the two most basic movements, human movements. You can think of, aside from walking, right? I could do a barbell squat, and I could get far more results with a barbell squat than I

could if I added up, you know, five other leg exercises all at the same time, like leg extension, leg curl, you know, donkey kickbacks. I could do all these isolation movements, ten of them, and they wouldn't give me nearly the results that a simple barbell squat would. And it's because it makes your body move together. Well, it was best. The irony, though, is how many people- It's very loud signal.

The irony, though, is how many people don't do a barbell squat because they think they can't do a barbell squat, or it hurts too much, or it bothers me too much. This is why I- You should be able to squat without paying. You know, I'm going to say to get on this show because I know that it'll happen just like everything else we've predicted and then some people won't pick up on us. I want to make sure I say it a few times that I predict that you'm going to say to get on this show because I know that it'll happen just like everything else we predicted and then some people won't pick up on us. I want to make sure I say it a few times that I predict that you're going to see this huge trend with FMS, you know, your functional movement specialist.

You're going to see a lot of this and it's already happening. You're going to see more of it. Some people are probably listening right now have no fucking clue what I'm talking about. They're going to say you don't need to do barbell squats anymore. Well, 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 a thing. And like, you know, functional, how that's gotten like, said the death, like patterning is going to be the next thing. And that's, they're going to, they're just going to take it too far. Well, and that's where I'm heading with this is that I am a huge fan of it.

And I think that functional mobility, functional movement is extremely important. It's a reason why it's incorporated in maps. Green, we all believe that is an important part of training the body, but what will happen and what you guys will see is just like the fucking fitness industry always does is we find something that's really good and really and then we oh you guys forgot about this. Let's make this the priority. Today's class we're going to move like a jaguar. No, you laugh. I'm not I'm literally literally, that's what they're gonna do. Yeah, I know that. That is exactly what they're gonna do.

We've learned from watching the animal kingdom of we've mastered the best moves of each animal. It's like Kung Fu. They did that shit thousands of years ago. Yeah, it was Kung Fu. Yeah, Crane style and all that shit. Yeah, and we know that where history repeats itself and this is like the new wave of it coming around

and you're going to see it. Which it's impactful because like I said, people are sedentary or they've been doing the same thing over the years, like over and over and over again. People totally neglect mobilizing their joints and making sure that they have proper range of motion and function and support, support being a big one because you just keep, your whole goal is the ad muscle, and then you're going to lose function because, you know, hey, your joint, you haven't done

anything to help maintain that mobility out of the joint. And now, now that's also, that's not to say that the working on strength is an important. They both, you have to do both. Yes. Because if I go functional all the time, balls out, that's all I ever do. I'm losing this foundation for all function, which is strength.

Strength improves all human function. If I take anybody, I don't give a shit, what kind of athlete they are, and I give them 10% strength with magic, they're gonna perform better at whatever sport or activity they do, whether that's yoga, or long distance running, or especially things like sprinting or football and like that, you make someone stronger, it transfers to all physical pursuits.

Because strength is, that's the tension, that's the force that moves you at your joints. So if all you ever do is mobility stuff, you're missing out on a lot of function, which is strength. But if all you ever do is strength, then you make it very difficult to translate that strength to movement, and you end up causing problems and injuries. Yeah, which, this is going to be like strength becomes a skill at that point. Because you can still argue that you can do mobility work and get strong doing mobility work. Yes, you can. So I think more of the argument that I would lose a lot of the

strength. And that's the argument I think it reminds me of like Pilates right Pilates likes to make the same the same thing. It's like, Oh, it's like, you know, it's yoga for strong people. You know, it's like, that's what, you know, their whole pitch is that you can build strength and build muscle that way. And of course, there's studies to show that improve that you can. But the problem with that is, then you get these people that want to build muscle or they, they're trying to shape and sculpt their body to look a certain

way. And that is not the best approach to it. Oh, and that's just from an aesthetic point of view. Oh, come on. You know, what compares with resistance training? And that's why I always feel like we need to come back that way because, and I know nobody ever likes to admit it, but you know, at the end of the day, I would like to say at least half, if not fucking 80% of us want to look better too. I mean, we all want to feel better. That's important and general health is super important, but along the way too, we're trying to look better. And you know, part of building or sculpting and ecstatic physique, it takes weights. It takes weights, it takes addressing. Well besides like what allows you to target

and you know specifically design your workout, like resistance training, there's nothing that is nearly as versatile as resistance training. I can train somebody in a wheelchair. I can train old people, I can train young people, I can train you for a particular movement, I can train your muscle imbalances,

I can focus on specific areas, and I can move them within range of motions and in planes that are not limited by machines or by technique like in Polaris or yoga where you have to fall within a particular style or look of a pose. Resistance training is the ultimate form of exercise hands down. That doesn't mean it's the only one you should do. You get lots of benefit from these other things, but resistance training is the king of all forms of exercise, simply for that one fact right there. I can, anybody can do it and anybody can mold it to their body.

So yeah, you're absolutely right. If you want to change the way you look, what comes close to resistance training? No, no, for sure. And what speeds up your metabolism? But what we will see, and that's how these fads go, is, you know, somebody will put a spin on it and how you can do that with through functional training.

And that's what we're gonna see over the next, I don't know, year to three years, you're gonna see this wave come through. And like I said, I'm a big fan of it, but this is where I was trying to tell our listeners, like buyer beware of all this stuff, is that understand that there is science behind it, there are good things about it.

It is important. We, you know, it's a reason why we implemented it into the end of the matter. You start to maintain a hierarchy as far as like what are the important things that will give you the most benefit. And like Sal's mentioning, resistance training provides that strength.

That's our foundation, you know, to increase that strength, I want to look at mobilizing the joint to support it to then increase my performance in that particular lift and increase a new level of strength. And then vice versa, you keep going up the ladder, you have to make sure that you address the joints along the way. That's the best way to do it. Otherwise, you just keep lifting this one particular lift. You're gonna get really good at that lift to the detriment of the other muscles in your body.

No, you heard it here first. Nothing compares or resistance training. That's right. That's it. If you like Mind Pump, leave us a five-star rating review on iTunes and please check us out at mimepumpmedia.com. You can also find us on Instagram at mimepumpradio. You can find me at mimepumpsal.
