Starting point is 00:00:00 If you want to pump your body and expand your mind, there's only one place to go. Mite, op, mite, op with your hosts. Salda Stefano, Adam Schaefer, and Justin Andrews. Nobody worked out today, you know? No, yeah. You know, train later? This afternoon, I'm going to try to. What do you want to say try?
Starting point is 00:00:20 Well, because this is one of those days where, you know, this is what I like about having. I scheduled a workout every day and sometimes I just naturally take a day off, you know, and what determines you taking a day off? You know, my schedule for today, like because today could be a net technically a day off for me. I've been trained, you know, the last five days or so consistently without a day off. So, you know, I feel okay. So there's definitely some work I can do in the gym. But it might be a day where I just go do mobility for a little bit or I just completely take it as a rest day. And it'll be dictated by my schedule today. See, I get so like sometimes I get so structured with the idea of what I'm going to do with my workout that when I go in and I know I'm going to start with something and if that's something is taken by someone else, I wanna kill them.
Starting point is 00:01:05 I wanna kill them. It makes me that angry. Really? Yes. Oh wow. I get that mad. When I get real particular, there's a particular bar that I like to use when I deadlift.
Starting point is 00:01:16 Oh yeah, I'm the same. And there's a particular part of the gym that I like to deadlift in. And if I'm ready to go, I look over, oh, someone's using that bar that I like to use. I'll go to a different gym. Yeah, I'm like, this is the idea. Fuck this whole thing.
Starting point is 00:01:29 I'm taking my ball home. It's been really hard for me not to deadlift the last couple weeks. It's been, I go there and I just want to go over and test my strength. I feel good. I'm like, I want to see it, but I know I'm getting better every day that, you know, that I've been working
Starting point is 00:01:42 on that connection right now. And I feel like this is what happens to me. I start to feel really good. And then I'm like, I go right back into it. And I want to see how strong I am. And I'm like, yeah. So I'm going to do my best to really stay away for a couple of weeks and do a lot of my rehab type of work,
Starting point is 00:01:57 which is boring and none of us like doing. But I feel like, at this point in my life now, that you have to. It's the type of shit that you just don't, as a trainer, even as a trainer, you don't think about it as much when you're 20 to 25 years old. You know, and you start getting older and you start. Not at your 45, I mean.
Starting point is 00:02:13 Whoa, dude. Whoa, dude. Do you, do you, do you listen to different music when you have to do mobility? Yeah, absolutely. Yeah, can I fuck you up? That's where I will listen to hip hop or something. Yeah, cool, cool.
Starting point is 00:02:24 Do you, do you, do you, do you? No, I quite cool play, but I will, I will do, yeah, that's where I will listen to hip hop. Oh, play. Yeah. Yeah. Not quite. Not quite. Coldplay, but I will, I will do, I will do. I will listen to, you know, a lot easier listening for sure. Exactly. I fucked. I fucked up.
Starting point is 00:02:35 I fucked up. One time I had simple tour on when I was trying to rehab my snog. I didn't work. Not again. I started aggressively adducting. Yeah. My rotator cuff exercises turned into a PR. Yeah. I mean, I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I something. Like that's what I want to do. I don't want to, I don't want to go grab a fucking 500 pound fucking deadlift and rip it off the floor.
Starting point is 00:03:08 Do that, that whole grind. Remember, like how we're dancing? I still do. I still do. It's for me and me too. I'm just saying, like is that acceptable? No, it's for grass. There's no more grinding.
Starting point is 00:03:17 Now they just take their clothes off and fuck on a dance floor. Yeah, what is dancing like right now? I have a dance room. Here's the problem is we never knew dancing then either Yeah, but we weren't really watched it. Well, that's what Justin can dance. That's why grinding was so Grining came out. I was like I can do this. Yeah, I Could do I could do this in my Yes, this is definitely this is in my will walk up the side. I hope I'm some girl
Starting point is 00:03:41 Yeah, thrust my hips into her way between there to the rhythm. I could do that. That could, that's easy, you know. You like this song, huh? It's all that coordinating your arms with your hand stuff that I'm not very good at. I think it was incidentally grinding came out when baggy pants were in style, which was perfect because then you get a boner. Right.
Starting point is 00:03:59 Wouldn't work with a tight pants. It doesn't work with skinny jeans. No, but you get the big pants. You can almost hide it a little bit. Oh, you told you to do the tuck, you know, you told you get away with it then. The waistband, the waistband tuck. Yeah, I got it. You can't tuck with skinny jeans. No, but you get the big pants you can almost hide it a little bit. Oh, you told you to do the tuck, you know, you told you get away with it then. The waistband, the waistband tuck. Yeah, I got it. You can't tuck with skinny jeans.
Starting point is 00:04:09 Yeah, skinny jeans tuck it in the back. Bro, like an arrow pointing towards your face. A little hands out there. He's like, hey man. Bro, even with the, even with the big jeans that happened to me once I tucked it and I looked down and I was like, oh, he's out for everybody. You know what, I think today I actually might just, I actually might do a little at home stuff considering that we just finished our stuff up.
Starting point is 00:04:27 I might do a little at home workout today as a big, good day to you. We need to talk about this. We need to talk about exercising or working out, getting gains with minimal or no equipment because obviously all the maps programs that we've created involve working out in the gym. The gym, yep.
Starting point is 00:04:44 And you know, get a great workout at home, do you? People out in the gym. And, you know, you get a great workout at home. Do people don't realize? Well, here's the thing, like here's the interesting thing. The most popular workout programs that exist are not in the gym. They're all at home. Let's work on this insanity. There's a lot of P90X.
Starting point is 00:05:00 Yeah, there's sweatin' to the oldies. Yeah, I guess. Sweatin' to the oldies. Dude, he sold. He sold tons of steel. You talk shit. I just Shit jazz or size was one like you know, wasn't buns of steel like one of the most sold video cassettes All millions of what about that Billy blanks one the title. Yeah, that was a big one Yeah, so these those are the most those are by far the, the biggest selling. Well, the irony between all those guys too, you know, they all have like 10 different ones and they're all, it's just another just high intensity running around like crazy. And that's the problem. No program is over your body and flop, flop,
Starting point is 00:05:36 flop, flop. Yeah, like the, it's, um, who is the guy? Is it Billy Banks that did it? Who's insanity? Who is insanity? Oh, I don't know. What's his name? No, it's not. The rip, the rib black guy. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. What's his name? I know you're saying well, whatever his he's popular. The other guy that the guy that did the guy well he's also tied to that big multi-level marketing company. Yeah, beach body. Yeah, he's tied to beach body and stillings out what he does is he comes up every every six months. He's got a new one the latest name Sean Mary. Yes, Sean T Sean T That's it. Okay, Sean T and his latest one is I think the hip hop one, you know Getting skittin' in shape to the hip hop, you know like you dance dance hip hop And you also you get these shoulders and abs
Starting point is 00:06:13 So get the fuck out of your girl. Here's a secret. You're that ear. I'm gonna let you guys in wait it I'm a I'm a letter audience in on a why do I sound funny, Doug? Do I sound funny? Do you okay? You want me? Sound funny. I know I might is this really me boys can I get a sound check it's not that you can do about that bro it's long green and smelly yeah kermits finger so I think you've used that one I have a long time ago but the new audience says oh okay so here's a secret here's what they do when they design at home programs. Number one, their goal is Marketing it and number two, their goal is how fun we can make it look and that's it That's all the energy that goes into it. There's no energy that goes into programming. How do I know this? I've looked at these fucking programs and there's zero rhyme or reason. It's literally how fun can we make it and how can we market it?
Starting point is 00:07:03 Let's talk more about that formula because they use transformations. They bum barred you with transformations. Like it, whether the legit or not, but they just, yeah, we know how they legit. They get more. It's not even close to legit. The girls and the guys they show with their progress pricks. They're hired. They just say progress, pretty.
Starting point is 00:07:23 Pregs. Progress, progress pick. Man, I am off today. Ford hired. They just say progress pricks. Pregs. You did say progress pricks. Progress pick. Man, I am off today. Guardian. Coffee is not kicking in yet. No, they are, they're like competitors. They're like my peers.
Starting point is 00:07:33 They find someone that's like competed, bro, and they get off stage and they're like, we're hired. We put out an ad and they say, Hey, if you're fit in this demographic and age range come here, we'll pay you for like a week and then they shoot you doing all these exercises Well, then they get you all like bloated for your before picture after you're done
Starting point is 00:07:50 That's one way, but here's the other way that something's you can't get shoulders like that doing hip hop. No Here's the other way not doing hip hop dance Well, here's the other way when they take red or two-bock and big you would have a lot of fun I'd get you hard dude, but when they get regular people this is what they do they put out an ad to I can't read it. It's a hard dude. But when they get regular people, this is what they do. They put out an ad to agencies with people who are aspiring to be actors and actresses.
Starting point is 00:08:09 And they say try out to be on this commercial for this new workout program. And then they get 50 people. They have 50 people do the workout program, which now they're highly motivated because they know they're gonna be, if they do well, if they have a good before and after, that they'll appear and be interviewed on this info-mercial.
Starting point is 00:08:27 So then everybody's super motivated. They're doing the program, but they're probably doing other shit also, and of course, dieting and stuff. They get this before and after, and they're trying to get on this commercial, and they get on the commercial. What are they gonna say on the commercial? I tried this program and it kind of sucked.
Starting point is 00:08:40 No, it was the fucking greatest thing ever. There's nothing real about those testimonials. And as far as the workouts are concerned, it's a fucking greatest thing ever. There's nothing real about those testimonials. And as far as the workouts are concerned, it's horrible programming. So it's a big problem in the industry is that a lot of people work out at home but don't have effective workouts. I mean, how would we design, right?
Starting point is 00:08:58 How would we design a program without equipment, which is kind of what we did with it? Well, still some rules apply that they neglect. There's still, there is still an importance to certain type movements that are going to overall benefit you. There's certain type of phasing that you should do. The body still adapts the same way, just because we're not hitting weights anymore. Doesn't mean that there isn't an adaptation process that hasn't happened.
Starting point is 00:09:21 Doesn't mean that certain exercises, Trump, other exercises. Doesn't mean that certain exercises should follow other exercises. Doesn't mean that you shouldn't intensify per person. You know, I'm saying each person shouldn't be at the same level. People should be, you know, progressing at their level. There's so many elements that still apply even at home that these programs just neglect. It's one for all intensity driven, you know, sweat your ass off having fun and hopefully you're gonna look like these people Which probably never even did these programs that we hired to say they did
Starting point is 00:09:53 So I mean that was our I think our big motivator to to create this and you know, it's When we first started doing I had to I'm not gonna lie like because I'm a 99% of the time I'm in the gym working out, I wasn't as excited to get into this, but once we started diving into it, I got really excited because when we did black, I was so pumped about that because I was so pumped to create this program that had all this flexibility in it and for each individual person.
Starting point is 00:10:24 And when I got into why we started doing why I thought well how are we going to do that boy. There's more videos in white than we have in any other program. There is more flexibility. More flexibility. We totally flip the whole foundational days on its head and did it completely different. You know they have app sessions now So instead of focus or trigger sessions, we now have amp sessions,
Starting point is 00:10:47 which are designed to amplify your workout. So yes, intensity does play a role. Yes, there is a place for it, but it's not the foundation of the workout. It's what we call an amp session, which you, or we were trying to teach people how to amplify their own workouts based off of learning to read their body and how
Starting point is 00:11:05 it's responding to their foundational days. Like, you do a foundational day and maybe you go into your amp day and you feel great. You don't feel sore from it. You didn't push too hard. Well, it's cool. Yeah, what's cool is it's basically like the inverse of our trigger session concept, you know, and foundation day. We sort of like inversely flipped it on its head, and it
Starting point is 00:11:26 makes sense that way, because of the limitation of equipment, and, you know, we're not loading the body with a lot of weight, and it's not, you know, something that is, you know, dangerous in any way from that sense of it, your body will be able to recover. And so, you know, we show you that there is a place to really ramp intensity up, and this is how we do it. Well, here's the thing, like, you have to ask yourself, why are programs that don't involve going to the gym so popular, and I think the biggest factors convenience, right? People like that convenience, but I think a lot of people too
Starting point is 00:11:59 are just, they just don't wanna go to a gym. I mean, we take it for granted. See, we were really reluctant to design a program like Maps White, which by the way, I can say that official name, right? Maps anywhere. Yeah. We were reluctant to do so because the three of us
Starting point is 00:12:14 were born and raised in the gym. We were in the gym all the time. For me personally, when I walk into any gym, I can go into any gym that I've never been into and I immediately feel at home because I've grown up inside of a gym. But a lot of people don't, a lot of people don't feel that way. A lot of people find it intimidating.
Starting point is 00:12:31 It's complicated. And so at home programs are by far the biggest sellers of the fitness industry because people like the convenience that's not intimidating. And oh, I don't need to, you know, I don't have to invest in a gym membership, I don't have to find a place to drive to. And so we were a little apprehensive at first
Starting point is 00:12:50 because for us, it's not an issue. You know, we don't think of not going to gym. For us, it's not a problem. But then I started asking myself, you know, well, we talked about this a lot, like, what about when we travel? Like, there's been times where I'm like, fuck, man, I don't have a gym, what do I do?
Starting point is 00:13:04 Get creative, right? You gotta get kind times where I'm like, fuck man, I don't have a gym, what do I do? Get creative, right? You gotta get creative and think of, you don't wanna just address it like it's maintenance. No, you wanna actually have something that you're addressing towards. That you're progressing. And then the other thing too was, what if we designed an at home program
Starting point is 00:13:19 that was legit? And what I mean by legit was, you could just do this and you could seriously progress. It wasn't just like so like most of these programs you do it and you progress for two or three months, your body adapts and there's nowhere else to go. There's nowhere to go. You've already applied all the intensity. You've already, the programming is straightforward. There's no phases. There's no like where do you go from there? And so our goal was to come up with an at home program in which you could just do it and progress there. And so our goal was to come up with an at home program in which you could
Starting point is 00:13:45 just do it and progress consistently. And we wanted to make one where if guys like us who are very advanced, very strong in lifting weights, that we could get benefit from. And so that's what we that's kind of what we came up with. But I think and we'll see, we'll see how the public receives it, because like I said, of all of our programs that we've designed, I think this has the most out of the box. It's the most out of the box, and I literally out of the gym box.
Starting point is 00:14:14 It is, and I think it has the most viral potential, because I think a lot of people really like the convenience of working out at home. And let me tell you something, ladies and gentlemen, with proper programming, you don't need a lot of equipment to get a fantastic body. I don't, there's examples in the real world.
Starting point is 00:14:33 You look at, you know, gymnasts, gymnasts use very little equipment. They use bars and stuff like that and they use their body weight. And they're very, very muscular. They have amazing bodies. You look at some people who, you know, go to prison and they don't have access to weights anymore because they've taken them out of prisons and they've have amazing bodies. You look at some people who go to prison and they don't have access to weights anymore
Starting point is 00:14:46 because they've taken them out of prisons and they've got amazing physics. You have what they call bar guys, I don't know if you've heard of these. These are guys that go to, they go to like playgrounds. Yeah, calisthenic guys. Yeah, calisthenic guys. But it's not just about just doing all these different
Starting point is 00:14:58 exercises. That's the problem that we run into with a lot of these programs is they would say, okay, here's your calisthenics, pushups, lunges, squats, pull-ups, sit-ups, just throw them and do them intensely. Maybe if you spend money on a program, it'll be fun to some music or something like that. But that's not how the body progresses. The body progresses through applying specific forms of exercises for specific types of adaptation. And so with maps anywhere,
Starting point is 00:15:28 we kind of put that together and did that. And the cool thing is, there's a lot of new stuff that's out there. For example, I don't know of any home program that really takes advantage of isometric or tension type exercise. There's a lot of new science that's coming out on it. That's why. We're gonna see that. It's an old science, but now new science that's coming out on it.
Starting point is 00:15:45 That's why. We're going to see that. It's an old science, but now there's new stuff coming out. Yeah, exactly. We're going to see, you know, in mind pump, we always like to tell you guys first when we predict something that's going to be happening in the fitness industry. And we've shared several things in the last year and a half that have unfolded for most of you guys. And here's another one. you're going to see this all over the place.
Starting point is 00:16:07 And we talked, we brought stick mobility on back, you know, last year, some time. And we had those guys on because we knew and where they were going, what they were doing was brilliant in the future of fitness. And with all the new science that's coming out on the benefits of isometric training. And there's not a lot of people one that are providing a tool or two showing you how to utilize that and how you would program that into. How would you phase in and out of it?
Starting point is 00:16:32 How would you use it more than just a tool? How would you actually build muscle using these types of techniques? And so this is what we really dove into. And yeah, we want to make sure that we're on the cutting edge. And this is something that I know myself, in particular, have been researching like adamantly because I see so many benefits to it, not only just from building muscle, but also just from what we've
Starting point is 00:16:57 found with mobility and stretching and how this neural connection is so crucial, you know, to better body mechanics and to be able to be supported in movement. And a lot of these techniques, they translate very well to that. And so, you know, to be able to apply this into this program was exciting to me because, you know, I've really been diving into this. And, you know, it's tough. You go through these exercises, they're tough. They're grinding exercises. And it really is challenging. And I really like the
Starting point is 00:17:30 challenge. And that was the thing about this program is that, you know, you might think that, oh, since I'm not in the gym, you know, it might be, you know, okay, and like, you know, the intensity might be, you know, kind of low, but like applying certain techniques like this. And other things we included have really helped to make it an exciting, challenging, and vigorating kind of a workout. Well, one of my first exposures to utilizing the concept of tension really well was, I believe it was povl, if I wasn't mistaken, where he would talk about doing a movement and just tensing up the whole body within the movement.
Starting point is 00:18:05 And I remember the push-up, right? Doing a push-up is one of the most basic body weight movements you could do, just that standard, good old-fashioned push-up. And I remember, I would do push-ups a lot of times, sometimes I would do in the morning or at night and try and get a little bit of a pump. I do that in the morning, yeah.
Starting point is 00:18:22 Or everybody can talk today. But you know what, after I remember Pavel was of a pom-pom in the warming. Everybody can't talk today. But you know what I, so after, I remember Pavel was talking a lot about tension. And so what I did with my push-up is I tried to grip the floor. All I did was squeeze the floor, and I can't obviously grip the floor, but my fingers were pressing into the floor as if I were trying to,
Starting point is 00:18:39 and then I were pretending to screw my hands into the floor in this kind of twisting motion. Not that I was actually doing it. I said it to you, nice. Yeah. Yeah. That's what I've envisioned when he's doing that. I've never done much of what are you doing.
Starting point is 00:18:52 You squeeze and you twist them off. I'm gonna help it. I gripped and I twisted. Now my arms, my hands didn't pivot on the floor, but that was the tension that I created to the floor. And then I did my push up, holy shit. If you're listening to different, if you're listening right now,
Starting point is 00:19:07 stop the podcast, get on the floor, do a regular push up, then do a second push up, and try to grip the floor and apply a twisting tension to the floor, where you kind of twisting outward, and watch how the push up feels. You're gonna find, you're gonna feel stronger, you're gonna feel more stable, and you're gonna get more, you're gonna get more
Starting point is 00:19:25 out of the exercise. And so that was my first exposure to that whole concept of tension. And then moving forward when I would do my, my barbell movements, I realized that, wow, if I squeeze the bar really hard, I can bench press more. And which is crazy because you think to yourself,
Starting point is 00:19:41 like what the fuck does squeezing the bar have to do with bench press? Or what does squeezing the bar have to do with squatting? You know, or does squeezing the bar have to do with bench press? Or what does squeezing the bar have to do with squatting? You know, or what does leg drive have to do with the bench press? Connecting. You're connecting to the movement. You're connecting better than, I mean, that's really what it's about.
Starting point is 00:19:53 It's about the central nervous system. And, you know, I think I've repeated your, you're saying a million times now about, you know, talking about the central nervous system as an amplifier to your speakers. And how often do we just go through the motions of working out and we don't really connect and think about the central nervous system?
Starting point is 00:20:12 And yet it's so important. I mean, you could argue it may be more important in seeing strength gains and gains in your progress is learning to connect better, may show more progress than you actually lifting more weight. So that to me is, and that's what you're training. That's what you're training with.
Starting point is 00:20:30 And this is where the more and more studies that we're finding out. I mean, we kind of knew about it already, right? We've known that the central nervous system is important. We know that there's ways to train it isometrically or in plyometrics and things that require this connection to all your muscles at once. But we're starting to see when you actually implement that into a program, what a difference
Starting point is 00:20:49 it can make in someone's progress. So I mean, that to me is one of the most exciting parts about maps anywhere was incorporating that. It's been exciting to put it together. Well, it's funny because we kind of all know this instinctually. If you go to open a jar and it's really tightly closed and you're trying to twist that jar, you instinctively tense up your whole body, including your face. This is just a natural function because your central nervous system fires harder. If I'm trying to squeeze my hand, it will fire
Starting point is 00:21:23 to the muscles that squeeze on my hand harder when it's firing everywhere else. And so that's kind of how tension works, and that's just one small example of something that you can incorporate that requires no equipment. It doesn't require any equipment. It just requires an understanding of how to apply it towards whatever movement you're doing, and it could all be banned or bodyweight with no weights whatsoever, but it dramatically increases the effectiveness of what you're trying to do. And if you program it incorrectly, the results can be pretty specific. It needs a specific tempo, needs a specific rest, so all that stuff has to be considered to optimize those types of exercises. So we made sure to really highlight that in this And so you could get the max benefit from it.
Starting point is 00:22:06 So yeah, I think if you train without weights, first and foremost, again, mind pump is always honest. There is no replacement for a deadlift. There's no replacement for a barbell squat. There's no replacement for these big gross motor movements, but I'm gonna flip that on its head. There is no replacement for these big gross motor movements. But I'm going to flip that on its head. There is no replacement for body awareness. There is no replacement for being able to use,
Starting point is 00:22:30 you know, change from an open chain to close chain type movements in vice versa. So it's not better. It's not worse. It's different. And incorporating some of these movements, which we've always done anyway, you know, Even though we've worked out in gyms, and we all of our previous programs were designed to be in gyms, we've always understood the importance of incorporating bodyweight type movements because they all complement each other. But if you just stick with that,
Starting point is 00:22:58 if you have no access to equipment, doing it right will yield you gains. Like you will build muscle. I'll tell you what, I'll make this claim all day long. I'll make the claim that maps anywhere, will put more muscle on you than a crappy in the gym, wait, workout. Like you go in the gym and lift with your cables and machines
Starting point is 00:23:17 and do your typical bros split. You're not gonna build as much muscle or strength as you will with a body weight programmed, excellent type program. Well, that's the key, is that it's program, right? That's the key. Comparing the two, I mean, we know that weight training, like you said, you would never say that it would take you. And this is what I've told people, if you already have, you know, maps black, maps red,
Starting point is 00:23:39 and maps green, you already have all the other maps programs, and you work out in a gym, a majority of the time you like that, does that mean this is not for you at all? No, this becomes an accessory to that. That's how I look at it. Once you go through a maps wide, there's ways that you can implement that into your program already. It's a great way to de-load. It's a great way when you're traveling. It's a great way to take some of the exercises and days and incorporate them into your gym day, too. There's nothing that says that you can't take parts of Matt's wipe after white after you've gone through it. Matt's white. Yeah. It's Matt's. I don't know what's today. What is today? It's going on with us, man. But I think we're excited. That's why we're a lot of good stuff going on. Yeah, we got a lot of good stuff going on. I wanted
Starting point is 00:24:23 to touch on something that you're kind of bringing up, Sal, too, that I seriously have had my paradigm shattered so much with this tension concept and this connectivity with a central nervous system and getting involved with lifts. I really feel now that you could really highlight two important aspects of training in general and that's building muscle and that's building connectivity.
Starting point is 00:24:50 And the two of those together, you're going to get so much further if you really highlight both of those with the same emphasis. So that's something they both contribute to each other. They both contribute. Exactly. It's interwoven. It's funny because I've had, you know, we, I talk a lot about on Instagram about training for, you know, strength, but mainly for regular people, I had to do it properly in the low
Starting point is 00:25:15 rep ranges, which is another way to really improve connectivity with your central nervous system. And it's crazy the response that I get from people about the gains that they make, not just in strength, but in how their body looks. But you could break it down, like that to those two elements. That's 100%. Yeah, because if you're talking about mobility,
Starting point is 00:25:31 you're talking about flexibility, you're talking about stability, all these things are connectivity things. So on top of that, like building muscle, obviously we know strength and hypertrophy and all these other aspects to that, but yeah. Well, I mean, some of the challenges we're working at at home are, you know,
Starting point is 00:25:47 you gotta be creative, right? And most people don't know a whole plethora of movements and exercises and how to put them together. But one of the pluses is convenience. One of the other negatives is how do I improve intensity when I'm just limited to body weight? Again, requires more creativity. But again, one of the pluses is time.
Starting point is 00:26:10 I can wake up, do my workout, and I didn't have to waste time driving to and from the jam and changing. You could just naked in your living room if you want. In fact, that's how Adam does his... He does not have white naked. Yeah, pretty much. That's how we got the name white. Yes, from from white butt.

And so what we did is we also threw in a suspension training mod. So there's ways to incorporate that into this program as well, which is exciting for me, because I definitely somebody that uses the TRX or one of those types of suspension trainers quite frequently.
