All right, and welcome back to episode 096 of the OK podcast powered by the Strength Co. I'm your host, Grant Brogey, and today's different. We're recording live from the place that we are powered from. The Shrenko, I got Mr. Tray Gallage here in studio. Live. California. We're podcast experts. Set up was a breeze.

Always. Always is. One of the easier things I've ever done if I were to think about everything that I did. And this episode, 096, this date is February 11th, Valentine's Day, guys. Don't forget, your wife wants strength coat plates. Get her the strength coat plates you want. In the year of our Lord, 2026, the price of Bitcoin is $67,1131.77. And what I need to tell you guys is, I hope you caught the falling knife.

Okay. And I don't mean to sound like a boomer. But, you know, the kids will say, buy the dip. I say catch the falling knife. it's you know when there's a knife falling there's a reaction people are scared they don't want to grab it but that's actually the most valuable knife of your life and i hope and that's just supposed to rhyme i hope you bought the falling knife i hope you're in i hope you're not a guy that just listens to the podcast and goes uh yeah they do that bitcoin bit at the beginning i don't really care about that i hope you're

actually in uh if you're not well this is a financial advice but um it's going to be a while because even though we're down, we're still up over 60% since episode one. We're coming up on episode 100. So this podcast, we're Bitcoin Puppers. Call me Pam Bondi. Ask me a question. I'm just going to tell you what the Dow's doing, all right? Ask me a question about lifting.

I'm going to talk to you about Bitcoin. That's how it works. I've got a lot to talk about. We don't need to discuss the Super Bowl. So we'll just gloss right over that. It happened. It's in the past. Who cares about the past?

Yep, a lot of fun topics to talk about. I'm your host, Grant Brogie, Coast Mesa, California, with Trey Gallagher. We don't have to guess where he's from in Texas. I'm in Costa Mesa. He's in Coast Mesa. Coast Mesa, Texas. Here we call it South California. Yeah, SoCal.

Yeah. SoCal and Hurts. SoCal's fine. Don't call it Cali. Oh, do not. Yeah, I don't like Cali. I'm an anti-Cali guy. We came in and set up the podcast gear, like literally without a hitch.

Those that were at the Arnold. in 2024, if you saw us set up the booth, it went off without a hitch and people that are experts walk by and go, oh man, look at those guys. They're doing this without a hitch.

Very, very similar experience tonight. No issues whatsoever. And we're live recording. And also in studio, joining us from Greater Salt Lake City area, not in a drilling status. Oh, sorry. Yeah.

We support him, but only when he's drilling. Yeah, thanks for your service. Mr. Jeff Bouget, pronounced Biggie, like the smalls for you, non-biggy types. That's not a thing. But to start this show, before we kick it off to the three,

Trey has been in town for a few hours, been hanging out with my wife, my child, and we have discovered that we know something. Like we know something. We didn't both know that we know it, but over the course of hanging out with the 16-month-old, happy accident. We now know that we know it very well.

And we'd like to perform it for you. And Mr. Biggie, I'm a little worried you're going to think it's going to take away from the killer bees. It's not. It won't. It's a side project. Yeah. So I'll just start it.

Everybody clap. Everybody sing. La la la la la. La La, la, bow to your partner. Good day. Then you turn around. Hands in the air. Rock a by bear.

Bears now asleep. Shh, shh, shh. Everybody sleep. I came back from the warehouse. If you hated that, I don't care. Yeah. If you hated that? We just want to make sure I, Jeff knows that this is just a

just a side project. It's a sidebar. It's okay. It goes to a minimum. It's like Wu-Tang Clan. You know, they do other projects, but they come back and they're still a wutan clan. That's right. Yeah, it's kind of incredible. Trey hit me up and I was like, I'm about to go into a couple calls. He's like, where should I go? Your house or your warehouse? I was like, well, they're both my houses. I'd live in both of them. I have lived in both of them. I was like, but you should go to my house and see my family because I'm like tied up until this time and then I'll get there as soon as I can. And I got to the house and Trey was like, then you turn around. Yippee.

And I was like, oh, I know this game. So a very popular song for female babies under the age of two. They mean male two. Yeah, potentially. Yeah. We don't know. Yeah. Yeah.

We got a fire team of girls we're working with. So then we proceeded to just sing it all night. And I said, we got to rip that on the podcast. Anyway, this is great. We're nine minutes in after a 30 minutes. delay of starting. And we haven't even kicked it over to three. But Jeff, I hope you're enjoying this.

It's always special podcast when someone's in person. And Trey was like, oh, I get why Jeff felt special when he was in person now. He's like, I get it. And I said, yeah, it's like Grant has a bunch of cords going everywhere and has no idea what he's doing. And then you podcast. He packed up super well. Yeah.

Oh, great. Yeah. As a former embarkation officer, I approved. Red patcher, yeah. It really helped that I was on another podcast today. So I had to take half my podcast gear to the other location based on what else I had going on. You know, with everything going on. With that, with that, let's kick it over to the three.

Okay. Thank you. Thank you. Okay. Take your seats. Take your seats at ease. Thanks, sir. Okay.

Got a lot to brief here, a lot of important stuff. We got a lot of big things coming up. a lot of things moving and shaking and right. This battalion's not a lot of trash. We got to secure. So without further ado, let's get this thing started. Okay, keep things brief, keep things brilliant. We were brilliant in the basics and our basic is trash and securing it.

So please, S1, start us off. What do you got for us? How do the numbers look? Okay, numbers. This is the edge here. I still don't have access to my email. I haven't had email for three weeks. S6 has had me do 17 SAR forms.

They all get lost, as I don't understand, because it's an email with an attachment, but they all get lost. I haven't been able to get on and check the admin report card, the G1 admin report card. And Gunney says the numbers are good and that we're up. So nothing further from the S-1. It goes back to you because you're also the third.

If you're not watching on YouTube, we did a nose goes on Jeff. And that's why he was the one. He doesn't usually have that rule. Okay, great. Good brief. Okay. Now let's take it over to the two. Let's see what's going on.

And any intel, if there's any threats out there, our threat Charlie if they're out there putting up any threats. Good morning, sir, commander staff, sergeants major, commanders and the staff. I just want to say I'm happy to be here as a part of Trasbitalian. This is Lieutenant Johnson. And we do have a slideshow that we would like to show you. It is all secret information. You don't have to take your watches off, though, because the Department of War and our

president, POTUS type, just put it all on X. So we're just going to show you the most latest tweets to bring you up to date. We know that Marines don't spend any time on X, so they actually don't know a lot of the relevant as to information. But there is a lot of talk about us going into Iran. There's F-35s going to Iran. There's C-17s going to Iran. We don't actually know if they're going to Iran or if they're just headed in that general direction. And to be quite clearly, clear, there's so many things happening on X.

We can't tell this is like a Candace Owens follow the planes, uh, sciop or if we are actually going to war. But the laminator is up and we did fix it. We got it back from regiment. I'm no longer locked out of the S2 vault. And I'm holding PT three days a week at zero five. Unless there's anybody, any questions for me, which I'm standing by for.

I have nothing further for the group. Thank you, sir, commanders, sergeant's majors, and staff. Oh, good for you. Wow, good brief, good brief. Yeah, great brief. Okay, to dovetail off that from the S3, right? So we've got it down from higher. We had a FOS that we have to fill.

We're filling the FOSS, just like we're filling the dumpsters here. Also, side-tasking. Everyone go ahead and create an X account by COB. And by the way, COB is a totally just nebulous term because really there are no set hours. So it could be, it could be 1600. It could be 1,600. It could be 1730. It could be 1,800.

It could be 1,900. It could be 1930. We're not really sure when business. A trash 5 here. Close 5 here. What time zone? I know we got outlying stations called in. What time zone are we dealing with right now?

I want everyone. Actually, real quick, well, let's just do a Zulu time hack. So we're going to, it's going to be four, seven minutes in 10. Bingo, I'm going to start over. It's going to be four eight minutes in one zero. Seven, six, five, four, two, one hack. Okay. That's a good hack.

We're always going to be on Zulu from here and out. C.LB means when you're done for the day. okay so no one's securing I don't want any gunnery sergeants company level leadership battery level leadership go into their commanders asking if you can

I'm going to put this in air quotes as the five let the boys go okay first of all we have female Marines as well but we we're all hacked up and we know what COB means and if there's smoke

there's smoke three fellow major there's smoke there's smoke so I think I think if you want to talk further about this matter, come see me offline. Excellent. Great inputs.

Thanks, five. That time hack was much needed. Much needed to get everybody hacked on that time. That's good stuff. That's good. Lieutenant, all the company grades in the room. I hope you just took note of the proper time hack procedures. I feel like that is a lost art in the world of our cell phones and smart watches.

Okay. It's more of a science. Yeah. Yeah, it's a lost art and science, as they say, as they say. But yeah, that's all we got from the S3. Make sure you're making those X accounts. We need those by COB. Okay, everyone knows it Cob is.

We've got time hacks. So if I have any stragglers or people turn it late, right? You will be put on blast in the S3. You'll have to come talk to me. All right. Let's move it along here to our logistics bubba's. Logistics types S4, you got it. Hey, thank you three.

Yeah, for the four, the main thing we got going on, sir, got some bad news. Hey, it doesn't get better with time. Brief it. It's good enough. Actually, it's pretty much the same news last week. We're still getting ready for the phase mode here in a couple years. But the main thing is the dumpsters continue.

to be offline, waiting for them to get back to that. That working party we spoke about last week, we didn't have great participation. So I would just like to circle back on that if we can. Hey, Trash Six, real quick, three, put that in the parking lot. When we do our Big Six meeting later on this week, let's talk about the dumpsters. Go ahead for it.

Appreciate what you do. Thanks for what you're 15. Trash Six out. Outside of that, that's about it. That's all I got, not a whole lot going on in the Four shop, just kind of biding my time. Hey, Trash 5 here.

Can we get maybe like a supplemental smart pack that covers dumpster allocation by unit with a grid for the dumpsters? We are trashmen, as they say. Yeah, of course.

Yeah, yes. Just to interject here, we have tasked our we have a no glow, right? We have our one, he's a naval gunfire liaison officer. Somehow he's assigned to our battalion, but he has been tasked with supplementing the smart pack. And now the laminators back online will be able to laminate those and then distribute those. Hey, trash checks here.

Thanks, Deuce, by the way. Thanks, Deuce. By the way, I saw your workouts. They're Bush Lee. I'll become a Wednesday. Bring your A-game. Go ahead, three. sorry.

No, no. Good stuff, sir, great stuff. Get some, get some, uh, in that PT, good, good PT session, but I will have to be skipping those PT sessions. Just, uh, as a side note, uh, did get my MRI back. I have 19 bulging discs in my lumbar spine, uh, and 33 pinched nerves. Um, so, yeah, yeah, no, it's, it's, you know, just a life of iron major here. So, yeah, as I was saying, the smart packs for the dumpers will be distributed.

They'll be laminated. We'll have them serialized, right? You'll have to sign for those in our green logbook. That will definitely, definitely not get misplaced ever. And we'll keep very good track of all those smart packs. Sorry to interject. Let's kick it back over to the four to medical. Trash five here.

M.O. is out. She had a medical appointment. copy. All right, we'll move it along. Not to three off. I do have something from the chaplain if you want me to kick it over to him. Kick it over to the chaplain. Yep, always got time for the chaplain. Yeah, I'll do my best. He tried to come to the meeting and couldn't. So he left me a voicemail. I'm going to see if this works. Jefflin here. I just wanted to apologize, first off, for missing the last call. I was having a career meeting with the former on-site chaplain that was let go a few weeks ago. But don't worry, that won't happen again since he was fired. And also, he was excommunicated from his local church for betting the entire week's church's tithe on something he called Trace's pick up the week. Not sure what that is, but additionally, I did want you to take a moment to thank Drash Stix for his feedback on my white paper.

submitted. In seminary, the goal was to write as much as humanly possible on our papers. I don't ensure that all opes relating to papers that are white are limited to one page going forward. As I now understand this is a no-fail mission. With all these changes in place, I am reminded of this passage in obedience, however, and it says this, but that is not the way you learned in Christ, assuming that you have heard about him and were taught by him as the truth is in Jesus, to put off your old self which belongs to your former manner of life and is corrupt through deceitful desires. It's be renewed in the spirit of your minds and to put on a new self created out of the likeness of God and true righteousness and wholeness. We find that in Ephesians for, and it talks.

And Paul here he is talking about the new life learned in Christ. We are called to no longer look to the life we used to have, but to be transformed. Our whole life is like maybe a dumpster. has reached his end of life secure the way of life that you want to walk and be transformed into chaps we lost you

we got most that message yeah but I think we got that trash sacks here hey chaps I just want to say fact that you're tying Jesus into dumpsters really warms my heart you've received my intent and you're executing hey give the chaps one give him one cool

well don't kill the chaps but you get the idea idea. Yeah, right, right. Yeah. Let's say, I think 18 minutes and 54 seconds, enough time to waste. Jeff, we got any other outlying stations? We had one outline station.

Let's see. We got a couple, I think, actually. I can drive. One talking about a glass ball. We got Mike, Mike Kelly. I don't know, Mike. Do you know, Mike? I don't know, Mike.

But, hey, we appreciate you, Mike. Yeah, Mike's a good dude. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, seems like good dude. If the glass ball is dropped, then it's now trash. So, you know, our mission now is to not let those glass balls drop first off. Second on, if they do, we get a follow-on tasking of securing that track. So the mission never ends.

One of the problems with this podcast is Marines like to joke, which is fun. So they get the glass balls. They get the no-fail missions. but then I think people that aren't Marines think that we're making this up and they're like, oh, funny banter. I'll just jump in on it. And so I actually, like, for all I know that, that's a 25-year-old master gunnery sergeant. And Mark Kelly, is it Mark Kelly?

Mike Kelly? Mike, if I've met you and don't remember you, I'm sorry. But I asked for the waiter's name at dinner like seven times today. It's just a problem. It's not Diego. Yeah, it's not Diego. God, reason why I'm going to beat Diego, turns out what was Jose. He goes, hey, Diego.

He goes, no, Jose. Well, you know, San Diego. Yeah, no, this is a solid guess. And then in the fence, like, he left and 30 seconds later, you go, what's his name? I go, it's not Diego. I just don't know what it is. Yeah. So anyway, Mike, if I know you, for all I know, you're a gym member, you're a crew member.

I don't know how I know you, but thanks for me. be in the outlying station. You got any more, Jeff? I feel like I put the pressure on and no one respond to this week. Billy Martin must be out driving because he's not, he didn't respond. He's not texting and driving, but he might be drinking and driving. So, you know, you can only do one thing at a time. Yeah. Let's see.

Let's see. Okay, Scott Dubois. Ooh. Oh, what he said? That's a nice name. Is that French? Dubois. And let's got Dubois.

Yeah, that's not more right. He must be from Alabama. He responded to the one and said, you can get with us offline in a sidebar. Too easy. He said, hey, there must be a major because he said, keep these to a minimum. Keep the sidebars to a minimum. Circle back. Probably not.

He gets a major. Probably. Yeah. Just, uh, in the trenches. Oh, Scotty boy. Well, before we go into the topics, these guys, I'll tell you what, is the host of the podcast. Some might say the driving force of making sure we've gotten a nice. 96 episodes.

These guys hit me with so many topics. I don't actually know how we'll get through the week or through the episode because the topics are just, I mean, it's all day long. It's like they think I do nothing else. So we've got a lot of topics before. We're going to the topics. This podcast is brought to you by BW Tax. BW Tax LLC.com is where you can find him in BDBTax.

He'd answer the phone at your brother's funeral. As last week's guest said so eloquent. and he, what did he say? He's for all of mankind. BW. Tax enjoyed that ad read. And what I will say for the listeners, I feel like some people think that BW Tax isn't real or it's a joke. I appreciate you guys calling them because BW Tax is like,

hey, I love the VIR, I love college football, I love Boston sports, and I'm a great friend of yours, so I sponsored the podcast, but I didn't realize how much business you'd be bringing me. And I will always make sure there's a warm body on the phone. So for those to listeners that have called BW, we appreciate you as a small business owner.

It's always nice when you invest in something and you reap what you sow. So BW has sowed the OK podcast and he's reaping the benefits. We appreciate you. BW Tax. Go to BWTXLC.com. It doesn't matter where you live,

what you do. Be a W-2 guy. You could have bought a house for the first time in your life. Can we get married? You could be taking on dependence. You can be having a baby. You could be adopting twins. You know, there's a lot of things that could be happening in your life.

Don't go through that by yourself. Go to bwtax LLC.com. Grab the phone number and give them a call. We love BW. Good guy. Good. Good, God. That is true.

You just called this week just to check on them. Don't even talk business. You only see if he answers right now. What time is it there? It's only midnight. Actually, nah, he's probably in bed. BW. We'll call you next week.

Yeah. He did enjoy Forrest Day. And before we go into the comments, I need to cover a few things. Super Bowl preface as well. Forest Day, music guy. I think a lot of people were skeptical.

Grant's got this music, you know, guy, artist on that he's promoting. What is this? And a lot of feedback on that episode. Really good episode. Really good episode. We chopped up some of the eight, nine minutes sound bites on lifting, on programming, on new lifters. We've thrown them on to Stranko YouTube, who's gracious enough to power us.

And get a lot of views, some videos over 10,000 views. A lot of people watching them. And so some people might say, you know, Grant, the OK podcast gets the most interaction when you guys talk about lifting. Okay. And I hear that. I hear that. But we're sports guys. Yeah.

Okay. And sports guys, sports guys like statistics. And statistics are created by data. Data is created by playing the game. And the ability to look at data, statistics, and create analytics and look at what's happening in strength is because of the ability to over obsess about it in sports. So if anyone thinks we're going to talk about lifting more, we're always going to talk about lifting. This is a sports podcast. Okay.

That's what we're sports guys. And sports guys make strength guys and strength guys make hard times and hard times make good guys and good guys. make good guys and good guys by Bitcoin. Oh, I was going to say. Oh, and then people that buy Bitcoin listen to the OK podcast. It's a logical sequence. Yeah. So, yeah, but we appreciate for us coming on.

Yeah, great guy. If don't watch this podcast on YouTube, you should. You also go to Stranko YouTube. We got a lot of new fun stuff coming out right now. And feedback's good, but we appreciate you for us today. I'm sleepwalking. I'm sleepwalking right now. I mean, that's a famous song by him, but a good episode.

Yeah, good dude. Good, dude. Better in music. Yeah, better in music. Yeah. But pretty good at an ad read. Yeah, dude. I should have said that.

Better than that reads. Better than that. Dang. It's all right. We'll fix that. Okay, Jeff. I'm, I'm, I'm good. Oh, you're good.

Three. Three. Yeah. I'm good. Okay. We're, okay. That concludes the brief. Well, yeah.

This wasn't a, yeah. Let's get it started. Let's get it started. Let's finally get it. started. This wasn't a topic I put in here. It was when I was thinking about the other week. And so it's called it. It's a hidden topic. And you can you can elaborate as much as you want or as little as you want, Grant, but wondering what's what's what's what's what's the plans for 2026 for the old strength co. Is there anything anything in the works that fans of the strength

go should be on the lookout for or just like we're doubling down on making the best plates there are in the game and we're going to just be working on that and refile brilliance in the basics kind of thing or is there anything new that people can look forward to? Did I miss something? Did I, did I shoot you a text that I'm not aware of? Or you just legitimate question? Legitimate question. Oh, okay. So we're talking Phops. We're talking Phopps. We're talking Phopps post 90.

Exactly. Yes, we're talking future ops. Yeah. Yeah. Future ops. No, I guess they should give a little Strength Co update. we are not going to the Arnold this year. Not because we don't want to, but just the time Grants' buddy got back from deployment and the things needed to be done.

We're not making it to the Arnold this year. So we won't be there. And no, we, you know, don't reinvent the wheel, as they say, or the plate. We're doubling down on cast iron. If you notice, we have not raised prices. I don't know if you guys know this, but a lot of things in America have gotten more expensive. Truth.

You know, we, Grant's buddy called Grant and was like, hey, now that you're back, you should just like make sure you keep a lot of things in place. So while prices of things skyrocket through the roof, we're trying to hold them steady. And yeah, no, I mean, nothing crazy. We make plates. We make them an iron. make them in rubber. You get a cast iron pan and get barbells. We've got collars and we're going to keep on, keep it on, you know, do what we're good at. For now. So not going to make a seven and a half

pound plate. I feel like I'm thinking about it. Yeah. I'm like covered plastic. You're really good. I've seen you a picture a couple times. Oh yeah. Sorry. Just need a seven and a half pound plate. I need one. Yeah, I'll just, I'll just make you a dinner plate. Hey, perfect. As long as it's seven and a half pounds. Seven that pounds is a magic number. Yeah.

All right, hey, thanks for being a good sport on that kind of left field question there. Yeah, seriously. Not sure. All right, let's get into these. Todd, let's get this episode started. I want to hear about, we'll get into the Super Bowl and sports stuff a little bit later, but I really want to hear this first topic that you put in there. Crazy homeless gym people.

Yeah. Tray, what do you think about those kind of people? The crazy homeless gym people? Yeah. You know, I have really no opinion on them. No, this was actually tied to Forrest Day, which is what I thought about it. And I was telling the story in the gym the other day. And I was like, you know what?

That's a decent topic. We're running our starting shrink camp. I pull in. I drove a 96 Chevy, extended cab long bad, no third door, two cup holders over the glove box. Yeah, one door works. One door works. Yeah, well, both doors work. You can only unlock the truck from the passenger side.

And then you use the... And that's a feature, not a bug. I've always said that. It's actually a safety hazard because I can check for FOD. While I unlock the car, Jeff's a big Fod guy. Anyway, I'm pulling in and I see two individuals walking. And they have backpacks on and coats. One of them's big.

One of them's not as big. and yeah where I can picture of my mind yeah where the gym is I mean so Trey when you pull up to the Trey's first time to the gym if you're not watching the episode we are inside the Strength Coat Costa Mesa

I wouldn't say where it's all started because it really started when we all lived together in Dana Point maybe take it back step farther in Carlsbad but in any event this is the first time like there was a sign that HB Strength Coe would later rip off

and make me go to court you know but this is the first time there was like a sign and something going on okay here yeah and you pulled up and what would you say of the area I thought it was a nice spot yeah yeah yeah as we pulled in the parking lot do you remember what you said it's a great location uh not exactly you said something in particular if you don't remember i totally understand right off the highway i can't remember diego's name uh you said right off the highway you said right off the highway so we're on the main drag here in newport boulevard right where the 55 dumps into Newport, two miles from the beach, nice area.

There are a couple downsides. There's a church next door. Not a downside. We're big chaplain fans. And then behind that, there's like an insane asylum. So someone goes crazy. You take them there. They'd help them out.

The church knows this. The church offers like, hey, come take a shower. Come wash your clothes. Come do all these kind of things. And they do that on Saturday. So I got a starting strength camp. I'm pulling the park lot. I see two guys.

I'm like, they're either, I don't know what they are, but they're giving me San Francisco. They're giving me Bay Area vibes. Those person ended up being Forrest A and his buddy. And I pull up and I back in. I like to back in next to the shrubs. I can take a nice photo. It has a Stranko sign. Plus the Strinkle on the truck.

And I back in. And as they back in, I see a guy with his shirt off on the other side of the parking lot and he's screaming. I'm like, well, that's weird. And the two guys that originally were somewhat suspect or like at the front door. I said, hey, you guys here for the camp? And they said, yeah, yeah, we're here for the camp. I said, oh, great, let me just get the door unlocked the door. And I'm unlocking the door.

And as I'm unlocking the door, and Nissan pulls in from the other entrance to the parking lot. It's like a Nissan SUV, probably like, I don't know, 99 to 2003 area. Earlys. Pulls in, windows are down. There's a guy inside along with a lot of stuff. That's generally an indicator that they might live in the car. I'm just picturing this in my head. Yeah, there's a lot of stuff.

Guys got a beard, black coat, ball cap on. And he pulls in and he stops. And he's like right there. Like he's just to the right. And the other guys on that side. And the other guy has jeans on, no belt. I guess he was not a Marine. And his pants are low.

He's white. He's shirtless. And he's carrying a two by four about maybe four feet in length. Okay. Okay. And he's screaming and he's running. and I put the two seminar people inside the gym, and they are, by the way, completely unfazed.

We'll talk about it in a second. Like, they think nothing. They think nothing. They're not like, there's someone screaming. There's a weird car that pulled up. They just walk into the gym. And then there's a family trying to get to the barbershop, and it's like male, female, and kids.

And the guy with no shirt starts running and screaming nonsense, makes no sense. And the Nissan, And I'm looking at this. And this is all, you know, I'm a, I'm a noodle loop guy. I'm observing. I'm deciding. I'm acting.

I'm looking at this. And then the Nissan just floors it. And he's on the right side of the parking lot. And he takes it left. And he's going to hit the guy. And the family, like, quickly gets off this sidewalk. And I'm like, hey, come here. And they come here.

And he floors it. And I'm talking like rubber burning. And the guy with the two by four is, still screaming and running full speed and then gets in between two cars. And luckily, my truck, like, I wouldn't want any scratches on the 96 Chevy. My truck's a little off to the sides, right? I'm like, okay, my truck's good. This family's good.

The members inside. Like, I'm good. And so the shirtless guy gets in between two cars as the car goes by. Again, all in a split second, just takes the two by four and wham, hits the back window and shatters. and it's like millimeters from side swiping the car, six parked vehicles, but somehow does it, gets to the other side and pulls out. And then a green van comes in with two more people in a German shepherd and picks the shirtless guy up. And that van screams out. The reason I put the notes in there, so I was telling this to a gym member this week.

And they were like, what's the dog have to do with any of it? I was like, I don't know. You put a bunch of crazy stuff in a scenario, but there was a dog. And so I come inside and I'm like, hey, guys, I'm Grant. And they're like, yeah, hey, I'm Forrest Day. I'm, you know, Bernard. I'm like, nice to meet you. We're going to get started at 10.

I know that was a little crazy. I'm just going to call police real quick. Just in case these folks come back. So I call the police, this, that. 911 dispatch. I'm like, hey, I'm running. camp. I don't have time for this. Just like send cars. Don't

knock on my door. I don't want to talk to anyone. I just have more people coming here and I don't want to deal with this. And I do that call and then I walk back inside and I'm like, hey, so I'm really sorry about the guys. So like, oh, we're from San Francisco. We see this all the time.

And I was forced and his buddy. And they were completely unfaced. That's my homeless gym people story. And that being to the shirtless guy is the guest next week on the podcast. We got him, but yeah. He's a big lister. Yeah.

He's heard all the episodes. Yeah, he's heard him all. Dang. I heard about B-U you too, yeah. He's actually doing a stag. Yeah. It'll be really easy. He has no income.

Yeah, yeah. I mean, that's still. That's tough to show the IRS that. BW will help them out. Doesn't matter. Doesn't matter. Okay. That was good.

That was a good story. Yeah, it was great. All right. Should we get into sports or do we want to do? Let's do Twitter, our X comments. Oh, man. Why don't you do sports? Why don't we get into the Super Bowl misery?

Okay, okay. I can be ready for X. Okay. Because in this mobile podcast studio that we set up, quick, quick, fast, in a hurry, I might need a minute. So you're saying, okay, you're in your prep time. Got it, got it. Yeah, I'm in my prep time.

Prep time. Let's do the confirmation brief a little bit later. Right. Right, right, right. Okay, so Super Bowl, it happened. Not the results that all the Patriots fans were hoping for. But bright future, bright future, I still think, in New England. So it's a good foundation to build off of.

So I'm like super biased, obviously. You're looking at an AFC championship hat behind me on that rack right there. Or probably. Jeff, did you watch? I already know that Tray didn't watch it. Did you watch it? I saw the second half. Okay.

And I mean, second half was a lot more entertaining. It seems like than the first half, unless you're really into punting. You're going to have a strong foot. Yeah. So I'd say, I mean,

it's clearly seemed like the Seahawks were the better team. That defense is just, well, Campbell's really good at plugging holes. Well, hey, you got to give, yeah, he'll be all right. He'll get back on the horse. I mean, I don't think anybody was probably up for really slowing down that defense on that night.

I can't think that's Seahawks defense was good. Yeah, I kind of think the same thing. The defense was, I mean, I think we said this last week. But like, and I know, Trey, he's an Aggie. He's a 12th man. You know, he can't even think about watching an NFL game. But it was always a long shot for the Pats. And I thought Seattle was a better team.

And they definitely proved it. It's because of the Pope. It's because the Pope. Yeah. I mean, honestly, no one stood a chance against that Seahawks team because of the Pope. Yeah. How was the commercial game? Honestly, I don't remember one commercial.

I saw one. And the one I remember was the Duncan one. And Jordy. Duncan. Go across it across screen. Was it a good? I haven't seen it. I guess we'll look it up.

Yeah, that's when that would be worth it going back and we're looking up. Because all I saw were like the comments were like, yeah, every commercial was AI, the weight loss drug or maybe that was it. It was like AI commercials and weight loss. lost drugs. And I was like, yeah, sounds about right. Yeah. No, the Duncan one, I would go back and watch again.

Okay. And then I'm trying to think of the other. The State Farm had two good ones that I saw. Okay. Okay. So I had a different approach to the Super Bowl. I threw a Super Bowl party. Have you ever thrown a Super Bowl party?

Yeah. I've still been for you. As a family? Like, yes. It was before I had kids. Okay. So you and your wife, like, threw a party. Yeah. And was your team playing?

No. Okay, smart. Jeff, have you thrown a Super Bowl party? I don't think I have. Okay, my advice is don't. And I say that. I think I have some family members that listen besides my mother that were at my Super Bowl party. The party was phenomenal, but there's like a lot of setup that goes into it. There's a lot of stuff.

And like when your team's involved, I want to be locked in a dungeon and I want to collect data. and statistics and break things down so that I can be a better barbell coach and also hopefully see my team win. But I threw the party. I had some Marine buddies I invited from the last deployment of my buddies. So my buddy's buddies were invited. Yeah. Yeah, some of them came.

And one of them came. They also, they were going to come. And then one came. Right. I love them that happens. Someone will get that joke. Um, in any event. And then I had a lot of family there and I had some strength code people there.

And it was good, but it was stressful. But it's my mentality of the Super Bowl was watch as much of the game as I can during commercials be the one holding my child. So that when it's not in commercials, I can watch the game during halftime feed everyone. So you miss the commercial. Yeah, so yeah, that's where I'm going with that. I did see the Freebird commercial with Budweiser, potential sponsor. Oh, I didn't see that one. But I saw it prior to the game, but then I saw it during it.

And it's a pretty good commercial. And there's also a meta-glasses. And if you watch, go back, watch the meta-glasses. There's a dude that's running. He was a Stranco member for a long time. And he quit Stranko member. said, I'm moving to L.A. to become an actor. That's true?

100%. He said, I'm moving to L.A. become an actor. And I was like, look my. Okay. Yeah. And he is in the Super Bowl commercial. He's got a beard. He's got like colored glasses.

He used to do some video editing for me. PJ had people before you. They always get out of PJ. But no, really good dude. He was always into running, but also got into lifting. And he's in the Super Bowl. half-time commercial, man. That's.

And, uh, Malia has worked for me for a long time. Worked. She's like, it's Crawford. And then I went to his Instagram and like he had posted a few days before, like, thanks to my sponsors and, you know, whatever actors say, my handler, whatever the terminology is. That's what they always say at the Oscars. Yeah.

So I don't think my handlers. Adler, my sponsors. So I saw that one. and I saw the free I saw that the free bird one was on but I didn't even like watch it then but I had already seen it and I saw there was a Dunkin commercial

and I know that Connor did a meme today based off of it but I only know that because he texts me and said man today's meme sucked and I haven't even watched it yet but yeah I thought it was good yeah yeah okay Wait, so you saw the commercials, but you didn't watch the game.

Trey or Grant? Trey. Yeah, no, man, I was chase around three kids all the time. That's tough to do against tall grass, which they had it half time. It's tough to do it. It's tough to do, I think. The tall grass. That were at people, weren't they?

Yeah, they're people. Tall grass. Grass people. Yeah. Did you know that everyone complained about the Super Bowl halftime? Yeah, did you know that? Yeah, it heard whispers about. Yeah. Did you know that? Yeah, everyone was... I felt like everyone was pretty like not right.

Like they were pretty rational about it. Yeah. Yeah. Like no one overreacted. No, both sides just made a lot of sense. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's great. My girls love the Super Bowl halftime show. Yeah. So we were big fans. Three under two. Oh, yeah. Just dancing. They'd be able to speak English. So like the fact that I was in Spanish didn't really bother them. Yeah, didn't bother them much. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, it was an interesting. A lot of, a lot of, A lot of feedback on the Super Bowl halftime show. And, yeah. A lot of just overreaction in both directions, both directions. Yeah, mostly from one side.

And it's like they wanted it to be something. And then it like, I mean, so you got to remember. I grew up, when I grew up, here's how you watch the Super Bowl. dad has the remote you're in the room one you don't get home until right about the half time because you've been at awana reciting scripture okay okay then you get home everybody's experience yeah yeah and it's like into the second quarter and as soon as halftime starts the TV goes off and then you're like dad

I think half time's probably over he's like wow we got to make sure and then you turn the TV on and you've missed the first two minutes of the third quarter and then every time a commercial comes on you turn the TV off and you miss a lot of the game

it turns out if you turn the TV off and on and off and on I could see that but I appreciate what my dad was what was after there like I appreciate what he was after. What I thought was funny about this Super Bowl halftime was,

okay, so that's like, that's like a morality thing, right? That's like I don't want my kids to see beer commercials. I don't want my kids to see women dancing, like whatever it is, right? It's like, hey, I want to protect my children from things they shouldn't see in an age. And like, a lot of respect for that. Yeah. what's funny with this one is like every what everyone's mad at i'm like you also do that on your side too just not at the super bowl like all the time all the time all the time so yeah the

super bowl half time it was like look at these lyrics i'm like yeah i can show you a lot of other lyrics from stuff that's okay um but yeah it was it was interesting oh i'll leave it at that you know we don't want to get too in depth here yeah there's two of them right wasn't there another one yeah there's another one um which like as someone that hosted a party for the first it was the first time i host i've i've had individuals over first of football like jeff you and i watched the last patriot seahawks super bowl together right yep yep yeah we watched that together and we watched stuff since then but like you know that was like four of us it's just like dudes i don't even know if we ordered pizza but it was just like hey we're watching the game that's different than like hosting when you're

hosting like the pizza i pre-ordered three days in advance to arrive at half time so i'm like out front like getting the pizza i can't imagine as to host having the stress of like turning the tv off and back on and like switching it um switch to the puppy bowl at that point that's the real half time show yeah is that a thing yeah oh yeah yeah animal planet i i assume it's still on. Oh, yeah. Animal planet does a,

it's just a bunch of puppies running around. There's some kittens in there too. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's ridiculous. But bad game for the Pats.

I really am glad we're talking about the halftime show and not the game because I don't really want to talk about it. Did you see the stats on the sports betting that went on? No. First of all, it's like in the billions for the amount of money that was like bet on it. Really?

A ridiculous amount. And then I think percentage-wise, it was well over 50% of adults bet on this game. Really? It was like just prop bets on just like random stuff. But I think it broke a record as far as like the amount of people who are betting on it. Yeah, I believe that. Yeah, sports betting's a. Oh, that was the other.

That was the three commercial varieties. AI, weight loss drugs, and sports betting. Yeah. Or betting in general. Or the three. O-O-O-ZMPIC. Oh, man. But, yeah.

And apparently the guy that ran on the field in the second half saw this. There was something involved. He was, you know, had money on whether or not there would be someone that runs onto the field and allegedly made like 300K off of this bed or something like that. I think it's like, I feel like that's a, it's a wash at that point. Yeah, I mean, I don't know.

So matter if it was his bookie. I heard it didn't get paid out. I'm sure. Yeah, right? It's like, I don't. Yeah. I heard it paid out, but I also watched the video. And in the video, I think it was either two or three guys jumped over the fence at once.

Yeah. Oh, that's okay. And one made it, right? And like did the thing. Yeah. Yeah, I enjoy a good streaker. Right. It's like kind of tradition.

Yeah. I'm a customs and courtices guy. Yeah. It's your traditions. somebody's got a streak. I didn't like that one of the Patriots players was like down to get, get in on the action and stop the guy. Yeah.

He's a Patriot. We're all Patriots. They're all the best defense all nine. Hey. Oh. Hey, Patriots. Patriots played well. Yeah.

They did their job. They did their job. They just had a lot of pressure put on them. They did their job. Yeah. Yeah. I guess I'd wrap up the Super Bowl with, uh,

wanted to go. bowling. And so my buddy Troy, his dad's friend of the podcast. I think Troy listens. I don't know if he listens as much as dad, but we appreciate you, Troy Campbell,

senior for listening. But the second was at the Super Bowl party. Parties in and he's, he's feeling bad. He's a Browns fan. He's like, can't imagine being in the Super Bowl. Well, he's also an Ohio State fan.

So he wins. Okay, so he wins and loses. We're inverted, right? Like, I'm a Gamecock fan. We never win anything. I'm Patriots fan. One keeps you. humble yeah and so he's like i don't know how like if my team was in the super bowl i'd be locked in

the cellar and so i kind of gave him a master's class on parenting i was like well here's a deal like when you got a kid um like your wants are no longer the only thing that matters and like the families wants become the thing that matter and i was like but i want to go bowling tonight winter will lose and he's like oh really you know i was like yeah you know like i i think there's an opportunity here to go bowling so the game in everyone's leaving. You know, we probably had 30 folks in the backyard. Everyone's leaving.

Nice. And he's like, you think we're going bowling? I was like, well, it's 8.30 or 8.15, whatever time it was. And zoo time. I'm sorry. I forgot my time. Yeah, no time. And I'm like, bowling and I closed at 10.30.

I'm like, so we need to like clean up. And we don't need to get to 100%, but we need to get to the percent that like Diana and me. my life feel good about like going to bed. I was like, and then I'm going to say this and Diana's going to listen to it. And I'm giving away company secrets, but she also knows how I operate already. I'm like, then we go inside and we hang out. And we wait for like, hey, go bowling. I know you guys want to go bowling, go bowling.

And then when she says go bowling, you go, no, not yet. No, no, no, no, we'll hang out. And it was the second time you go. bull, right? So we executed, Connor's working another plan on the other side of town. And I'm like, dude, there's a chance that we get to fountain valley bowling at like 9.30. We have an hour to bowl. And like, that would be great. And he's like, I'm doing everything I can.

So we leave, Troy and I leave. Everyone goes to bed. House is clean. We get to the bowling alley at like 9, 20. Connor's like, I'm leaving in 10 minutes. He lives right by the bowling alley. And we get there and I'm like, hey, man, how's it work here? I've been here before, but I forget it. I'm by game, my by time. He's like, either. I'm like, okay, well, what's a better deal?

Or how do I start bowling? He said, well, we close at 10. I'm like, well, your website, like Google Maps and Google says you close the 1030. He's like, yeah, but we close at 10. I'm like it was the same crap I dealt with on Okinawa, Japan at the Marine Corps bowling alley

and I assumed it was like lazy contractors. I'm like, is this bowling culture? So I like Detroit, I was like, hey brother, we're in the same thing. We're always in. We're like speed bowling. Connor showed up. We bowled.

It was good. I didn't do as good as I'd like. I think I've bowled. I think we got three games in. Like a 138 was my high. I always bowled 100. You know. Yeah.

But it wasn't good. I was still figure out. Three games. That's like playing a quarter of football. That's, what time, what was the time period? Oh,

50 minutes. Okay. Less. I mean, it was, it was, it was, it was,

yeah, that's some speed war. Yeah, if you're in the Marine Corps, if you're in Okinawa, Japan, you see your buddies every single day all the time. Yeah.

So you go to bowling out. You don't actually need to bowl or talk. You just bowl. You just bowl. bowl. Yeah, there's literally nothing business. You're there for business.

Yeah. And then this scenario, I was like, oh, I hadn't seen you in a couple months. Like, you kind of want to check up, but at the same time, this is a man's game. I got a bowl. So I was, the score didn't show up, but I was taking some vengeance out

on the pins. But yeah, that's the Super Bowl. That's what I call the Super Bowl. Oh. Oh, there we go. There it is. That's what I did wrong. Dang. Well, all right.

Hey, Super Bowl, that's in the past. That's behind us. That's old news. Next season. Let's talk about current. Let's talk about cops. So current operations in the sports world, Winter Olympics.

Have you all been tuning in it all to these winter games? I've got a couple. I watch the curling. And every time I think I've figured out curling, like it throws me for a loop. I have no idea. I've no idea what the rules are. I love.

It's like a broom in front of a Roomba, right? Yeah. Basically, yeah. Yeah. Really heavy stone Roomba. Vacuuming ice. But yeah. Yeah.

So I've cut, I cut that. I think the mixed doubles one? Mixed doubles. They got silver. Yeah. Well, it's mixed doubles. Guy and a girl. Yeah.

And what? Curly. Oh, we're still talking curling. Yeah. Yeah. Talking curling. No, no, no, no. No, no.

No. Mix doubles. Yeah. And then I watched, who's the Lindsay Vaughn. Yeah, blew up her knee, right? blew up her knee.

Yeah. Like, man, all this, what's all the fuss about? Yeah. Watch her get hurt again. Yeah, because didn't she like parr-acel or like, yeah. A couple weeks prior, then it's like, nah, I got this. And then broke her leg, right? Or something.

A little bit sad. Yeah. But then like the girl, the other girl got gold. Oh, Breezy. You know, a girl. Breezy. Yeah. Another USA girl got gold.

Breezy Johnson. A teammate, Breezy. So great name, by the way. Yeah. Better at names. So, yeah, make some good stuff. What else? I would say she's probably better at skiing, but.

Real quick, we talked to Super Bowl, pause, come back to the Winter Olympics, but I got to pay my sponsors homage. This podcast is brought to you by green, gridiron, gridiron, green. We don't know what the name is, but we know their helmets are mean. The best. I had four of their helmets in my backyard. Pretty cool setup. Verified.

Kind of cooler on a table. Helmets at the other side. There's still on my mantle, as you saw this evening. I had three helmets with a visor, which all looked great. I had one without a visor, which is an option. I'm not recommended. I think still looks great. I think it looks better.

Yeah, but I had the helmets out there. And if you're a, I wouldn't say superstitious, but if you believe in. A little stiches. Yes, stiches, then, like, I'll put you this way. I wore three T-shirts and six different jerseys during the Patriots game, trying to flip the mojo. And what I wish is that I'd had like 12 helmets. And I could have been just swapping the helmets out.

That was the problem. Just find the right combo. I had the throwback helmet. And then the helmet, the more helmets you have, you can multiply that against the jerseys. And you have more variables, more combinations, combos, as Jeff likes to call them. But if your team lost, hey, listen,

the Seattle Seahawks are the reigning champs. People have talked crap to me for the last 48 hours. And my first response, which I think is loud as I say, well, was your team in the Super Bowl? And then they're like, oh, well, don't be like a Steelers fan in the 80s. I'm like, no, it's different. I'm not claiming to be the champ right now, but like my team is in the Super Bowl. Yours wasn't.

So that's thing one. But thing two is it's a fresh start. Seattle gets to own it, you know, all the way until September. The raining super, I mean, until next year, but they get to own it. Like they get Seattle Seahawks. No one, they don't even have fans, but, you know, they own it either way. But you could go ahead and start your helmet collection right now.

You click the link down on the show notes. Go over there, get yourself a helmet and start thinking about next year. Start thinking about how next year is going to be different. If you're not a Seahawks fan, you want next year to be different. And the way you make it different is by buying helmets. You know, someone would say, hey, I should buy a helmet every two, weeks. I should buy a throwback helmet. Yeah, someone would say every two years, a different helmet. Think about the combos next year. It could be you next year. Throwing a Super Bowl party before

going bowling and you need combos, right? Because I had a pretty great Super Bowl, had my friends over, got to go bowling afterward. Only thing would better would have been in a seventh ring. And I'm reminder on seven. But yeah, go over to Mr. Helmet, Green, Grid Iron, Grid, and green, click the link to the show notes, go get a helmet. Back to Winter Olympics. Okay. Any other sports, we watch a little bit of speed skating, like the short track.

Yeah, I miss that. That's always fun to watch, though. Yeah, it's chaos. And though it's even better is the, the like four by four relay or like the four-person relay, and there's just so many people on the ice and it's this tiny track, and there's just people flying everywhere,

and they like push push the butt of the person. Oh, that's right. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But man, just looks like chaos when somebody wipes out trying to like, who about that? Do you remember? God, who did it end up winning Italy? Or I don't know.

Like it was one of those things where it was, we turned it on. It was like, this is the semifinals, but it was like pre-recorded. So then I like went right into the finals and we didn't even realize it was the finals. And they were like, well, that's it. And we were like, wait. Oh, I thought it was still in the semifinals. final. It's funny watching the Olympics

and it's always like if I see U.S. in there and I guess we're kind of spoiled because I'm always like I wonder what place we're going to get. Right? Yeah. That's all like that stuff for it. I'm like, oh, we got bronze.

It's like being a Patriots fan. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Spoiled. But man. Women's hockey. Have you watched it?

Have you watched any of it? I know. Women's hockey. Ron, Big Ron, both you guys know. Yeah. Is that? is at the Olympics.

He was at the women's hockey game. They smote somebody. Yeah, Canada. Five nothing. Love to beat Canada. Didn't watch any of it got text updates from folks on it. Tomorrow, USA Men's is playing Canada. And I will, I won't watch it like my life depends on it.

But I will let the warehouse have it on. Now, these are like in a NHL guys, right? Yeah. NHL is on pause right now. Okay. Yeah, that's the real deal. The real deal, baby. Yeah, I'll watch that.

I did watch a little curling. What's the one where they lay on like the pizza pan? Forward or backwards? The feet are in front of them. The luge. Yeah, I did see a little bit of luge. Luge's good. That's the fastest sport.

They go so fast. Faster than Dillard? Well, close. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. Well, he's, you know, not on wheels. Maybe fast as sport, not on wheels.

All right. All right. Yeah. Three. Love the sounds. Yeah. No, but I haven't watched much. And I feel like no one is.

That's winter. Yeah. Yeah. I'm going to watch hockey. Like, I plan. I don't even know what time it is tomorrow, but when I finish podcast in the night and neatly put up all the podcast gear. Oregon.

Yeah. That I brought out. So easily tonight, I'll find out what time it is tomorrow. And I'll watch hockey tomorrow. Yeah, I think it's going to be good. Yeah, I watch hockey more. Really, yeah. Yeah, I don't know what's is fun?

Let's see. We got, uh, wait, hold on. It's coming to Utah. When? 2030. Four? That sounds great. Are you going to be alive then?

No. I know, probably not. Yeah. 2034? Yeah. Yeah, 234. Dude. World's in before that.

It'll be on Mars. They already have a really big sign up in the airport for it. So we're getting pumped here. Yeah, you start marketing now. We got no snow, though. We got absolutely, like, if it was, if it was this year, they would have to go somewhere else, like 100%. We have no snow.

That's that. All right. Sorry. Give me interrupt. No, hey, that's all right. Sidebars have been to a minimum. That's okay. That's okay.

Let's see. Grant, you've been shaking. shaking the tree. What's, what's, I don't think it's a euphemism for anything inappropriate, but I'm guessing it's a staffism. Yeah, staff briefism. Yeah, I think I meant to text you guys that when I was in that staff brief the other day. So in your updates, somebody was shaking the tree.

And, yeah, I think, I think if you shake the tree, you get information, I think that's how that works. You never want anyone shaking your tree if you're briefing, and then all of a sudden, the questions start coming out of the woodwork. And it's like, uh-oh. I was, I was just saying pending any questions. I didn't actually mean to ask any questions. I was actually didn't want any questions.

I just wanted them to pinned. That's kind of my way of saying, like, please don't ask me any questions. That's all I was prepared to talk about. Yeah, I meant to send that in text thread, but, uh, yeah. It's always good. It's always good. I think Trey put in a lot of topics, didn't he? Trey did.

Trey did. I put in a topic. I was going more for quality. Right. Quantity. Yeah. Yeah. Per capita kind of.

Yeah. Per capita. I put the most per capita. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I don't even know what I put in. Twitter comments is what you put.

Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. We're supposed to go. I've been prepping. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Did. Cheers on the fire line with all your trash and gear, log into X.com and read about a lot of things. I don't have, I don't have a ton of things.

I have one from today that'll be interesting. And I don't have a ton of things I've been kind of boring. But I posted in my workout today. Today's Delift workout. I did 455 for a top set of five, 385, 335, 335. And then I put my bench and my other stuff in there. But I didn't have a question that was probably,

worth answering. And the guy said, sell me on drop sets. I'm legitimately curious. My current program has been doing sets across, i.e., an example for you, Canadian types, fixed weight five by five or four by four, etc. And I think what I would tell that person in terms of drop sets,

one, I don't know what your training background is or how long you've been lifting. But in general, if you are new to, lifting, you have no business doing five by five on the deadlift. And probably you have no business doing five by five in the deadlift ever, which would bring me to a wide drop sets. If you're new to lifting, you're just getting started.

You should run a program. Strong lifts is like pretty good. My problem with strong lifts is five by five. So starting strength is what I like. So it's three by five of the squat, three times a week. and it's one by five, so one set of five reps on the deadlift three times a week. And you can say, oh, that doesn't seem like very much. It doesn't seem like enough.

Well, if you are aggressively loading it as that program calls for, you are going to get really strong, really fast, which means you're going to need adjustments, really, really quick. And on the deadlift in particular, it's going to be a reduction in frequency. So if you're delafing three times a week and adding weight each time, you're going to start deadlifting two times a week on maybe week four, maybe week five. You know, it depends how detrained you are. In general, though, we acts a set of deadlifts. We acts adding five to a set of didlifts when you can deadlift your body weight for a set of five.

So if you weigh 220 pounds, you start deadlifting, deadlift 155. Your strength is probably not the limiting factor. It's probably your skill, your ability to put your lumbar extension, your ability to keep the bar over midfoot. You know, all the things that go in line with the deadlift is, are the limiting factors at first, which allow you to make 10-pound jumps. Does it mean that you're getting 10 pounds stronger each time or increasing your capacity in force production by 10 pounds each time? But you were learning the lift while also increasing the load.

Then once you hit body weight or above on the deadlift, generally we get rid of a set of of deadlift. So instead of dead lifting three times a week for set of five, you go to two times a week. So you might squat Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Delift on. Monday and Friday or you might just alternate the deadlift similarly that you do to the press and the bench press every other time I come into the gym I deadlift and that'll work for a while and eventually an advanced novice in the way that I program in a way that's aligned in starting strength and impractical programming by Andy Baker is hey we get down to deadlifting one time a week one time a week

heavy one time a week with a new load so on Mondays I might squat really heavy do my pressing exercise and then do chin ups or do barbell rows On Wednesday, I might do my light squats because I'm an advanced novice and then deadlift heavy. And then on Fridays, I made deadlift, I don't know, let's say 80% of what I did on Wednesday. So a lighter load, maybe two sets of five, maybe a little extra volume. And what people need to understand is two things. One, you want to move as few variables as possible at a time. So as I'm training, if I am worried that I'm over-training the deadlift, I'm deadlifting

too frequently, I don't want to change all of my squat stuff, all my press stuff, all my bench stuff, and all my deadlift stuff at once. I don't want to change everything. I want to change one variables. Maybe I change the deadlift. If I start deadlifting less, I may find that my squat is going to continue further because there's less overall stress in the program. I say all that to say when it comes to drop sets is what I do for a lot of folks that have run

the novice linear progression intelligently in my opinion where they've gotten pretty strong is I say, hey, we're going to deadlift once a week. And rather than giving you, you know, light deadlifts on the third day or barbedo rails on the first day, if we are trying to maximize time and efficiency for a lot of intermediate lifters, I have them do two. lifts a day plus one accessory, but two lifts a day, two compound lifts a day. So it might be squatting Monday and Friday, benching Monday and Friday. And on Wednesday is deadlifting and pressing only. Well, if I'm only going to deadlift, one set of five, even if it's heavy and hard and a limit set and the last one's a grind, probably isn't quite enough volume. So what I like to program

for people is you hit a top set and then you hit two back offsets. Now, if you stay heavy or you do sets across, if you can do deadlift's five by five, we're not accomplishing a new stress and a new weight that I would like, right? For example, I program five by five squats a lot, but that comes in conjunction with another day in which the intensity is way higher. So if I'm only deadlifting one time per week, what I'm trying to do is achieve the intensity, intensity meaning weight relative to the most I could do. So intensity means as close limit as possible.

I want to hit something there. And then volume means think tonnage. Like how much weight did a lift? How many sets did I do it? How many reps did I do at each set? What's that total number of pounds lifted? So in drop sets, what you're after is, hey, I hit a top set at hopefully a new intensity, a new weight, a new stress they haven't done.

and then I drop down a little bit because that gassed me and I and I increase tonnage by doing drops it. That makes sense to you? Yeah. What percentage do you like to drop them at? So I think it depends on your level of strength. For me, I drop them based off plate loading. Yeah. But for me, I'm also not, I'm not saying that I'm not, I don't want to get stronger

my deadlift, but I'm not micromanaging my logbook. right like i'm surviving but but in general it would be like hey top set so what i do for a lot of lifters and when i program a lot of people is hey week one you're gonna hit a top set of five and then if i were if i were gonna put a number to it i would say take 20% off in another set of five and if you're like not as strong you might just be able to do two sets of five lower weight if you're super strong right like if you have a 600 pound deadlift you might then the third set need to drop down another 20%. Yeah.

But if you have a 275, 275 pound that left, might have 275 for 5 to, what would that be 50 or 225 for 5. I'm not doing math. Yeah. I get what you're saying. Yeah, you see what I'm saying. Yeah. So that's kind of like the concept. And then on the second week,

the top set is a triple. And the back off sets just go up five pounds from last week. Okay. And on the third week, the top set is a single or a double if you feel good. And the back offsets go up five pounds. And then week four, I go back to fives. So I look back in my logbook from three weeks ago and say, my top set was 275 for five.

Now I'm going to do 280. Gotcha. So it's like the top set is rotating. But again, this is for folks that have done that easy, you build that strength. Yeah. Yeah. Anyway.

That's what I think about drop sets. Good question. Yeah. The lifting shrink? Yeah, the lifting shrink asked that. Life is Eternal said, baller. I did pause squats. Five sets at 250 by 5 with two second holds plus 10 by 5 pull-ups.

Is the video sped up or is the weight too heavy? Says Jerry, 52633333314. Dang. Dang. Big bird, bro. Says 1,000 pound runner. Dang. Dude.

Yeah. There was someone on here. and I meant to pin it that said, worst take I've ever seen. That was me. That probably was you. Actually, I know how to find it because it was in the video. I was looking for videos.

I said, hang on, Mom. I know you're still looking at. A lot of people miss the low bar position. The bar is either too high when she forces a more vertical backing to stay in balance, those removing muscle mass or too low which makes the lift or crank the elbows up to keep the bar from sliding often leading to elbow toinitis or shoulder pain Joel here as the world's

bets coach to joke me and learn the right way right off the jump and i'm showing a video of the low bar position which tray can see now if you're not watching youtube he should be and some guy said too high removing muscle mass and so i put in a video where i've talked before of hey the high bar squat is fine The difference in the high bar squat is it changes the back angle. When the back angle is more vertical, there's less posterior chain. It's not a bad move it, but there's less posterior chain. So yes, it's less muscle mass. If the bar is lower on your back and you have to lean over and sit your butt backward,

you load more posterior chain. I have a lot of muscle in my hamstrings, 80 ductors, butt muscles, all that stuff. So I've dropped that video and said, is a video called is the low bar back squat better than the high bar and he said

that is one of the most horrible takes I have seen in a long time this app is something else do you like it you should like it let me like it right now

DJNMA personally I am willing to sacrifice a bit of muscle mass if it means that I don't have to fold myself in half quite so much I think I do get the bar position more

correct, but I definitely err on the side of being too high. Impossible for this is or a, or a, how would you say that? Oroboros. Yeah, that looks right. Yeah. Impossible for me to do low bar. My shoulders are too stiff. Even stretching doesn't change anything. Yeah. Don't stretch.

People that stretch are the same people that watch the Super Bowl halftime. Don't do that. Quit. Herneyed. People who weightlifters, I feel like our most opinionated people. Like, it's crazy. You can't just be like, oh, that's a different way to do something.

It's like, no, this is either my way or you are. I mean, I feel like Southern Baptists are up there. Yeah, that is true. Yeah, reformed theology folks or Presbyterians or really anything. That is, you might be half-time show. Fly Fisherman. Yeah, half-time shows. Yeah.

Yeah, Nikki Minaj, you know, there's a lot. There's a lot. There's a lot. Twitter cards. Yeah. Twitter comments, X comments, we did it. It says someone said that we don't do it. And the only thing I would say to them is that person's a liar.

We do do. Yeah, we do them all the time. We've always done them. Yeah. We've never not done them. Yeah. They're tough to do. Yeah.

It gets tall grass. Yeah. Well. Well. I think that exhaust. That sums it up. Are there any saved rounds or alibis? I'll tell you what, if you listen to this podcast and you like us at all, it has been great.

I got home around five hours ago. And it has been really fun to hang out my buddy, Trey. Yeah, we had good Mexican food. Yeah. Well, in Southern California, we just call it food. My friend. Yeah. Comita.

What did you call text mex? Yeah. What was that place called? El Matador. Yeah. That's like the guy that holds the red thing in front of the bull. Yeah, translate to the Matador. Yes.

see. A lot of people don't know that. Well, I couldn't understand a word of the halftime show, so I have no idea. Yeah. Right. Which I think it was a good thing. It was in Spanish. If I was concerned about what the lyrics said, but I, yeah, I digress. I just want something to be mad about, Trey, okay? No, Jeff, I will say like, we all had the same dish. The most fajitas I've ever seen on one table.

Yeah, we all had fajitas. Well, except for my daughter. She wanted. Yeah, she wanted fias. Yeah. She was like fajitas. And we're like, no. And we're like hot plate. Can't do it. Sorry. And the plate was actually hot. And then I was like, yo, Diego. Can I get spicy salsa? Not Diego. And I think he was like, oh, you want to call me Diego? And he brought a salsa out. It's killer. And when he says killer, he means like sweating out of your pores. And I was dying. It tasted good. Taste it good. Yeah. Yeah. Got you on the back. Yeah, it was a slow burn. It's probably going to give me in the back. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Solid chow, good chow push. Was it, you get Super Bowl dishes? You had pizza. So that's kind of a... We had pizza wings and, oh, no, D. You made a, like, a street corn, cast iron street corn. He just made a Strength Coe cast iron pan.

If you don't want to go over to the WWW to do that Strength. We're on sale right now. $99. You get yourself a 10-inch cast iron pan. It's a little leather, hot handle. Man, that thing is. my go-to yeah, anyway.

Do you have me get chow? No, I don't think we get no, nothing special. That's special. Are you fasting? I'm always fasting. Yeah. No, I'm not fast guy.

I'd barbecue. You're just still mad about the Aggies losing so you're not watching sports. We get it. Yeah. I mean, I don't understand why you didn't want to watch the true 12th man take home

the Lombardi Trophy. What do they call them? The 12s? The true 12th man. True 12th man. The original. The one, the only 12th man, Seattle. Seas and the Csonson to CIS letter for me now.

Strength co. HB. They can't hold me back. The Seahawks are the Strength Co.HB. On football. Of the 12th man. Yeah. I'd just say it football.

Well, yeah. No one likes to Seahawks. There are no Seahawks fans. Are you sure? If you're a Seahawks fan and you're offended right now, Comment on Spotify or on YouTube. Yeah. Prove to me that people with my ecosystem are Seahawks fans.

But they're the strength co-hb of the 12th man. Yeah. Ripped it off. We'll take him to court. Yeah. We'll see. But, hey, good job, though. Congrats.

Hey, congrats. Yeah, great job. Yeah. Yeah. I've always, Jeff, the first thing I, whenever I met Jeff, he goes, I'm a Seahawks fan. Yeah, so I got 12 toes. I'm a 12th gang guy.

You see this tattoo? 12. Green and blue, baby. Yeah. I got no more save rounds. No. Well, throw out a little Werno. Oh, go on.

So I was listening to Josh Pate's podcast. Do I like Joe Rogan? Oh, Pitt State. both bald men, so sure. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Both bald men.

Star Trek guys. He's a big college football guy. And he had this concept that we're going to know he's, he does. No, he does not work. He's, he's, he's very pleasant. He's great. He's great. Oh, Boston with the boys.

He's a, he's a, I don't know if he's always from Georgia, Alabama. He's a Southern guy. off because we're from those big big SEC biased um

so I like in a good way in a good way we just call that a data guy yeah so but he was talking about this this thing he's going to do and it's like all right you come up with your

and we'd have to draw a line in the sand um and I don't I think it needs to be the further away from football season the better but you can pick as many teams as you want to be inside your bubble. Right, but if you want to be the winner, one of those teams inside that bubble Auburn has to win the national championship.

Auburn. And then you can claim it. Auburn. You can claim it as a fan. Auburn. And then, no, and then you can, that's you win. So it's like the goal is what is like your kind of threshold of like, okay, I think these 10 teams, of these 10 teams, one of them is going to,

win the national championship or you're like, hey, no, I'm going to go even, I'm going to say it's five teams that can win the national championship. Or are you going to hedge your bets and be like, I'm going to pick 20 teams that it be in my bubble. One of them is going to win the national championship. Do you win less money? His thing was pitching some sort of like the loser. So the first person to have their bubble popped or say everybody picks, has the team that wins the national championship. in their little bubble, the team that has the most, like, if you have like 20 teams in your bubble, but Trey only has six teams, he took more of a risk, therefore he's the winner.

And the loser has to, the loser has to like suffer some sort of like consequence. And he was pitching it. It's like, you need to face like, he's like, I'm terrified of lightning. So my punishment should be like, I have to go stand outside in a lightning store. I was like, I don't know if I said. That sounds like, terrible.

It sounds like Jock. Yeah. Face of fear. My bubble is University of South Carolina Gamecox. Obviously. That's a bold one.

Yeah. Auburn Tigers. Auburn. Auburn. Auburn. And. Okay. Okay.

Okay. Okay. And Notre Dame, just because I want to have like a little, that's my hedge bet. Okay. That's your bubble? Yeah.

Yeah. I can pop her right now. Pop that sucker. Pop that sucker now. South Carolina, Auburn and Notre Dame. You're talking about women's basketball? Yeah. I'm talking about college football.

Woo. No, you don't have to, you don't have to, yeah, decide your deal. It sounds like Brance. Jim couldn't start over explaining what the rules. The goal is, too. I understand the rules. Auburn. Oh, my bad.

Yeah, sorry. Giggle. I mean, I do the farmers fighting all the time. Yeah, and you do it sincerely. Yeah, farmers fight. Whoop. You do it out of love. And sincerely, there's no jest.

We're going to be the ever living in that out of. Oh, man. I would have to think on that. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. No, no, don't expect any answers. Let me marinate on it. I'm done, Jeff.

Yeah, well, okay. Make sure. It's done. Make a note. can't be mad jeff i picked your team i know i'm not mad that means i just have to worry about trace picks to go yeah uh i've watched it next year just be like in the finals would be like south keralina auburn i'd be i'd hate grants so much

i'd be so happy the trades picks of the year if if south kansas Carolina and Auburn make to the National Championship next year. I'll pay for both of y'all's tickets. We will broadcast from the next to the championship. Make a note. Make a note. Make a note.

Write in blood. Making the note of notes. Noted. Hey. Oh, my God. I feel. I'm going to the Super Bowl. I feel so safe with that.

Yeah. Yeah. There's not a 0% chance. That is true. You're saying there's a chance. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, I'll marinate on it.

Okay. Well, Trey, let's take this thing down for a land. I would love to. What episode? Zero-nine or six. Zero-nine or six. This is episode zero-nine six of the...

Okay. Okay. That was the best one. Y'all got it right together. As I always, like, I think our sponsors, BW. Tax, good guy better taxes. he had a funeral, he'll pick up. Is that what he said?

Said, BW Tax would answer the phone and his brother's funeral. And then at the end he goes, I hope his brother didn't. He has a brother's not bad. Good guy, better attacks. He always loved to think BW.

Lights. I think they're on. Yeah. Hang turbo. Yeah, hold on. BW. Oh, lights from looking at the lights. Keeping the lights on.

Gridiron, green, green, grid iron. If you, everyone needs a helmet. You need more than one helmet. I prefer them with no visors, but you can buy them with visors. Click that link below. Get yourself a helmet. Big ones, small ones. I got them all.

hands in the air rock by bear bears now asleep I think that's it Jeff we'll be enjoyed that we went to long yet yeah we did that a few times today and I was like Jeff's gonna love this

I don't feel like I got the reaction I wanted but the effort was there Jeff's just worried that the killer bees are gone parting shot no killer bees no Trey's more like a visionary guy. You know, Jeff and I, we're executors. Jeff, I'm thinking it's probably honestly going to take me 20 minutes.

Like, if you saw the cords and madness that was going on, it's going to take me 20 minutes. I should make Trey work up to a deadlift of 315 by 5, right, while I clean up. Oh, definitely. Yeah, he's not, the first time he's drank of. He's got a lift. Oh, dude, you got a lift. Yeah, it's a cardinal sin.

So I'm going to make, I'm going to make them, I'll send you a video. Yeah, you made the pilgrimage to the Mecca. Yeah, the Mecca. He's in nowhere. He's also like, I got an hour cab, I got a flat out tomorrow. But yeah, 315.

Just load it, pull it cold. Hey, thanks everyone for listening to episode 096. In the OK podcast, we got more guests coming. We waved our guest off this week because I had Trey in person and wanted to hang out with my buddy, which is one of the reasons that we even do this podcast so we can talk to each other. Thanks for listening to comment on Spotify, comment on YouTube. Go to the Stringo.

Give us some support. You can buy stuff or you can watch a bunch of lifting advice or whatever it is, but that helps the podcast keep going. And we also keep it going because of BW Tax and green gridiron, gridiron green. We'll see you next time.
