00:00:03
Blood all over the place.
00:00:04
Yeah.
00:00:04
Obviously, blood now.
00:00:05
They broke a noses or whatever, but people were going in there to die.
00:00:08
Yeah.
00:00:08
Actually did.
00:00:09
People were head butting people.
00:00:10
Like, there was no rules.
00:00:11
It
00:00:11

So, you know, most people to have under field, but,
00:00:19

00:00:20
feel full field.
00:00:20
Yeah.
00:00:21
It's all day,
00:00:22
baby.
00:00:23
We just love it.
00:00:24
That's What do we
00:00:25
what do we do today, bro?
00:00:26
Injuries, baby?
00:00:27
Injuries.
00:00:28
Injuries.
00:00:28
We're talking about injuries today.
00:00:30
Okay.
00:00:30
Yeah.
00:00:30
Yeah.
00:00:31
Yeah.
00:00:31
But before we get into that, Dude, let's talk about figuring out steroids.
00:00:37
You just got approved for, the UFC.
00:00:40
It's not even that they got approved.
00:00:41
They just, like, usada, the dope anti doping agency basically was like, we're not part of
00:00:47
this anymore.
00:00:48
We're just basically, like, cut their, like, partnership Oh, that's what it was.
00:00:53
So it's like, oh, so it wasn't like
00:00:55
it it wasn't, it wasn't like Dana White was like, we're gonna approve this.
00:01:00
Right.
00:01:01
Right.
00:01:01
Right.
00:01:01
It was like, yo, we're out.
00:01:02
We're we're just not, you know, no way.
00:01:04
Yeah.
00:01:04
And I think it was I mean, due dudes have been doing servers in the UFC forever.
00:01:08
Not not necessarily, like, analog steroids, but, like, performance enhancing things.
00:01:11
Well, you can disguise them.
00:01:13
Right?
00:01:13
Oh, yeah.
00:01:13
You can or you take a shit ton of stuff in the off season.
00:01:15
You pass a couple fudgy tests.
00:01:17
Yeah.
00:01:18
And then, like, when it comes to, like, fight, you, like, just piss clean.
00:01:21
And it's, like,
00:01:23
we were talking about this before the show.
00:01:24
What what do you think is gonna happen?
00:01:26
Like, your kid, guys' face is gonna be ripped off?
00:01:29
Like, what what I
00:01:29
don't know.
00:01:30
I mean, what dude, like, if you go back to, like, the original UFC, It was it was ugly,
00:01:34
man.
00:01:35
Dude, it was The rings were
00:01:36
This is covered in blood.
00:01:38
Pre Dana white.
00:01:38
That's right.
00:01:39
Before they got, like, real legit paper view, all that, it was it was bloodbath.
00:01:43
Like, the, like, go watch some of those pre fights at UFC war and
00:01:46
stuff like that.
00:01:47
Yeah.
00:01:48
Like, blood all over the place.
00:01:49
I mean, there's obviously blood now, broken noses or whatever, but, like, it was, like,
00:01:54
people were going in there to die.
00:01:55
Yeah.
00:01:55
People actually did.
00:01:56
People were head butting people.
00:01:57
Like, there was, like, there was, like, no rules.
00:01:59
It was Yeah.
00:02:00
Freaking nuts.
00:02:01
I mean, it was one of those things something I mentioned to you.
00:02:04
It's like when the NFL kind of like you were disguised in a lot stuff.
00:02:07
There's Sean.
00:02:08
It was like Sean.
00:02:10
It wasn't Sean Maryweather.
00:02:11
It was something that he played for the chargers.
00:02:13
Yep.
00:02:13
Yep.
00:02:14
Dude, he was yoked out.
00:02:15
He killed everyone.
00:02:16
He was,
00:02:16
like, murdered everyone.
00:02:18
But he was on people.
00:02:18
Mitchell for, like, 2 years, and then he was gone.
00:02:20
Then
00:02:20
he was dead.
00:02:21
Yeah.
00:02:21
Yeah.
00:02:21
Yeah.
00:02:21
So that might be I think he died.
00:02:24
Did he really?
00:02:25
I think so.
00:02:25
I don't know.
00:02:26
You don't quote me on that one, but
00:02:28
Ah, yeah.
00:02:28
But so, I mean, he was a missile.
00:02:32
It could be where, like, that's what that's what could happen.
00:02:34
These guys careers.
00:02:35
Yeah.
00:02:36
I mean, if you think about the sport, bro, a lot of it's like grappling and, like, these,
00:02:39
like, find, like, kind of you gotta be, like, mobile and be able to, like, get your way out
00:02:43
of stuff.
00:02:43
If you're big, like, jacked muscle bound guy, that's probably not up to your benefit.
00:02:47
Right?
00:02:48
Like, Yeah.
00:02:48
I wouldn't think about,
00:02:49
like, the JiuJitsu guys.
00:02:50
It's also gonna be the weight classes that are gonna, like, obviously, the heavy weights are
00:02:55
just gonna be moths.
00:02:56
2 freaking happens in there just burns.
00:02:59
Just brains out there.
00:03:00
Reagan, who is, who who's the who's the guy now?
00:03:03
I haven't watched it in a while, but, I mean, it's still Yeah.
00:03:05
I I don't know names like that.
00:03:07
Brock Lessener was the dude that was, like, forever.
00:03:09
He was, like, monster.
00:03:10
He had
00:03:11
to be, you know, saying,
00:03:12
yeah, when he was something, bro.
00:03:13
He had to.
00:03:14
Yeah.
00:03:15
Yeah.
00:03:15
Now he's, now he's more of a WWE guy.
00:03:18
Yeah.
00:03:19
He's back at it.
00:03:19
He was WWE came over to UFC back to WWE.
00:03:23
What they need to do
00:03:24
is they need to get guy, Thor Bjornson.
00:03:26
He's the power.
00:03:27
He's like, this power lifter that's, you know, he's won all kind of competitions.
00:03:31
He played, in Game of Thrones, like, the mountains.
00:03:34
Oh, yeah.
00:03:35
Yeah.
00:03:35
Yeah.
00:03:35
No.
00:03:35
He exactly.
00:03:36
He's humongous.
00:03:37
They
00:03:38
did.
00:03:38
He's humongous.
00:03:39
They did.
00:03:39
He's like, he's like 6, 8.
00:03:41
Oh, yeah.
00:03:41
He's it's, yeah, he's up
00:03:42
there.
00:03:42
He's
00:03:42
huge.
00:03:43
Yeah.
00:03:44
I mean Just afraid.
00:03:45
That he has the freak of a human.
00:03:47
Right.
00:03:48
I mean, obviously, there's some pharmaceuticals in there.
00:03:50
Right?
00:03:51
Yeah.
00:03:51
Yeah.
00:03:52
Scatterby.
00:03:52
But, I mean, I think as far as UFC bro, like, I think dudes are gonna be recovering better.
00:03:56
Right?
00:03:56
Like, you know, always help you to recover.
00:03:58
They help you speed that up, help you to get more, like, muscle growth, which, like, muscle,
00:04:03
like, we talked about in in past episodes is kind of per it's protective.
00:04:06
Yeah.
00:04:07
Right?
00:04:07
It's protective of your joints.
00:04:08
You have more muscle.
00:04:10
But what
00:04:11
does it do?
00:04:11
So, like, this is the thing.
00:04:14
What does it do later on in life?
00:04:16
Like, are these guys, like, not gonna have testicles?
00:04:19
Oof.
00:04:20
Yeah.
00:04:21
What?
00:04:21
Like, they get
00:04:22
That's a side effect.
00:04:23
Right?
00:04:23
Like, shrink
00:04:24
They're penis amputated?
00:04:25
Like, they just don't, like, what what happens?
00:04:28
Like, the thing falls off.
00:04:30
Like, that's Doesn't affect your penis.
00:04:31
It affects.
00:04:32
Your testicles and, I just I just spit a little bit.
00:04:37
It got a little excited there.
00:04:39
It affects the testicles and the production of testosterone.
00:04:41
So, like, when you're getting an exogenously, right, or or that that's why they shrink.
00:04:45
But,
00:04:46
so they will shrink.
00:04:46
They'll, like, freaking, like, little raisins.
00:04:53
But I don't know.
00:04:55
Guys can't get enough.
00:04:56
See, that's the thing is, like, the long term effects to it.
00:05:00
It's like, bro, you can't even enjoy sex at that point.
00:05:04
You're freaking you were yoked out and every dude is just looking at you.
00:05:08
Like, bro, this dude is jacked.
00:05:11
Yeah.
00:05:11
And maybe I'm getting a half shot looking at you because that dude is checked.
00:05:15
But the reality is is that that dude can't get it up with this girl anymore.
00:05:20
This girl hates him.
00:05:21
Yeah.
00:05:21
Yeah.
00:05:22
So he might be You know, there's a lot of, like, like, what's the real benefit?
00:05:29
Like, I guess, I can be like Knock
00:05:30
a bunch of people out and make a bunch of money.
00:05:32
But it depends on it's a trade off.
00:05:34
Right?
00:05:35
There's a significant trade off
00:05:36
there.
00:05:37
Yeah.
00:05:37
It's a big trade off.
00:05:39
Yeah.
00:05:39
I mean, and segue into injuries.
00:05:42
Like, I'm
00:05:42
dude, I'm
00:05:43
I'm that's a big injury.
00:05:44
I'm trying to wrap my head around.
00:05:45
Yeah.
00:05:46
Long term.
00:05:46
Trying to wrap my head around, like, if there's gonna be more injuries, like, is gonna see
00:05:50
someone die, right, in the UFC because these guys are just so Heart condition.
00:05:54
Hitting so hard at heart conditions, but I mean, just like hitting so.
00:05:57
Oh, yeah.
00:05:57
Right.
00:05:57
Like, how much force is behind, like, one of those heavyweight punches, dude.
00:06:01
Like Yeah.
00:06:02
It'll probably kill me.
00:06:03
Right?
00:06:03
Like if one of those dudes, like, £300 guy, I'm a £175.
00:06:07
Like, it struck me in the as hard as he could.
00:06:09
Like, I'd probably have some serious brain injury.
00:06:12
No doubt.
00:06:12
So, like, that being, like, repetitively done, bro.
00:06:14
Most boxers have some kind of t long term, like, concussive effects, you know.
00:06:19
It's
00:06:20
like these these neurodegenerative things that happen.
00:06:22
So I don't know if it's good or bad.
00:06:24
I think it's pretty crazy.
00:06:26
I think,
00:06:26
I think it's wild now.
00:06:27
Yeah.
00:06:27
When you start to drop regulations, man, and it's just like the Wild West, like, some, I
00:06:31
don't know, people just have to see what happens.
00:06:33
We will see we will see.
00:06:35
I
00:06:36
I mean, as far as, like, injuries, bro, it's like, like, this is what we were kind of
00:06:40
talking about earlier.
00:06:40
Like, are they preventable?
00:06:42
Right?
00:06:43
Like, can you forever live an active life where maybe you're kinda not like like pushing the
00:06:49
limits that hard, but like you're you're working out and you're daily, like, are you
00:06:52
gonna always be able to prevent injury?
00:06:53
Like, is that realistic?
00:06:55
Or is, like, life just life, you know, which is where I kinda lean.
00:06:59
It's like shit happens.
00:07:00
Like, yeah, shit happens.
00:07:02
I think it definitely unavoidable.
00:07:06
I mean, if you're playing life that way, not to get injured, man, that sucks.
00:07:11
Honestly, it's sucky life.
00:07:13
Like, I wanna stretch things a little bit Yeah.
00:07:15
Me in particular.
00:07:16
Like, I wanna see, you know, to the extent, that's, I think, the beauty of setting a
00:07:21
baseline for something.
00:07:22
And then you know, hitting CPRs and doing those things is that, you know, they will come.
00:07:27
Yeah.
00:07:28
But then how do you mitigate that time frame and when they do come.
00:07:32
Right?
00:07:32
How can you rebound all that much quicker?
00:07:35
Mhmm.
00:07:36
And that's where you've been extreme help for me even this past week.
00:07:40
I tweak my back because the reality is I I got sick.
00:07:44
Right?
00:07:44
I got a little head cold.
00:07:46
And that that all, ultimately, is it it's just gonna create a little bit lock up in your body.
00:07:51
Right?
00:07:52
Yeah.
00:07:52
And then I'm I want I still want to go work out.
00:07:56
And so I remember, I was like, man, I'm not feeling great.
00:07:59
Like, I'm not feeling a 100%.
00:08:02
And I'm gonna go work out.
00:08:03
And so I did a crossfit workout, and, I remember.
00:08:07
I know it exactly what it was.
00:08:08
We were doing front squats.
00:08:10
And I didn't go heavy.
00:08:12
So I put 225 on there.
00:08:14
Yeah.
00:08:15
And I didn't feel it in the moment, but I felt it later on in the day.
00:08:18
And I'm like, oh, man.
00:08:19
I was like, I locked up something.
00:08:21
Like, something doesn't feel right.
00:08:22
So that's when I immediately took precautions.
00:08:26
I did, you know, obviously, heat therapy.
00:08:28
And cold therapy.
00:08:30
And then I went, got adjusted by you.
00:08:32
You put me on the decomp.
00:08:33
Yeah.
00:08:33
But I went through 3, 4 days of that just cycling through because I wanted to shorten up
00:08:37
the wind shorten up the window.
00:08:38
So for me, no.
00:08:39
It's unavoidable, man.
00:08:40
I'm like, that's it's part of my life.
00:08:43
Right?
00:08:43
I'm gonna work out, and then I work out to be functional in other things.
00:08:47
Right?
00:08:48
So, like, I wanna be functional.
00:08:50
We're talking about, before before the show.
00:08:53
Like, I wanna be around my kids, and I wanna be playing on the freaking floor and doing stuff
00:08:56
and picking them up Yeah.
00:08:58
My my seven year old's, like, £90.
00:09:00
I, like, I wanna be able to pick her out, right, and do those things.
00:09:03
Sometimes I'm gonna some things might happen.
00:09:05
Right.
00:09:05
But, you know, more than More than not, I'm prepared.
00:09:08
And then, you know, when I'm obviously injured, I wanna shorten that times.
00:09:16
If you wanna hear your question answered live on the show, submit it to ask at fullfuel.com,
00:09:22
check out the optimizers program where we build max also improve longevity and get guys
00:09:26
freaking shredded so that they can crush it at life for as long as possible.
00:09:35
Yeah.
00:09:36
I mean, I think, like, with training, it, you
00:09:37
know, it all depends on your goals.
00:09:38
Right?
00:09:38
But, like, for the for the people we're we're kind of speaking to in this regard, probably
00:09:45
some kind of, business person who has a family and is, you know, training to be to look good
00:09:51
training to be in shape and for longevity.
00:09:53
They're not training for an NFL game.
00:09:55
They're not training for this, like, high level sport.
00:09:57
They're just training for life.
00:09:58
Right?
00:09:59
So it's like, yeah, you gotta you gotta have a balance there between, like, like, looking good
00:10:04
and putting on muscle and, like, being able to move that muscle,
00:10:07
right,
00:10:07
versus, like, the the guys who just get real tight muscle and then they go to pick up their
00:10:11
kid and her knee at, like, three discs.
00:10:12
It's like, you don't wanna be
00:10:14
you don't wanna be that.
00:10:15
Like, it's,
00:10:16
compromised.
00:10:17
Yeah.
00:10:17
So, like, I think you can you can help mitigate injury, right, and and get more preventable,
00:10:25
but, like, far as, like, life stuff, bro, like, you were talking about, you get a little sick.
00:10:28
You're trying to keep up with your routine.
00:10:30
Your body's maybe a little bit more inflamed a little bit less, like, you you have less of
00:10:35
that push.
00:10:35
So maybe you pushed the the front squad a little bit and your your form went and your low
00:10:39
back took over where your your hips and glutes should have, and then you locked up.
00:10:43
Right?
00:10:43
So it's like those kind of things just happen, man, that's life, but you can do your best to
00:10:48
mitigate that by doing the right things.
00:10:50
Right?
00:10:51
Like like phone rolling is fantastic for
00:10:54
I'm not the self malefacial release yet.
00:10:55
I think stretching is great, but, like, yeah, and a and a time and place.
00:10:59
I'm not the biggest fan of, like, static stretching all the time.
00:11:01
I think, more like, like, dynamic stretching, like, doing, like, taking your body through
00:11:05
ranges of motion that are gonna be somewhat like a stretch, but it's moving opposed to just
00:11:10
like holding a hamstring stretch for a minute.
00:11:12
It's like you're just creating, like, so much, like, laxity almost in that joint.
00:11:17
So I'm not the biggest fan of that.
00:11:18
I don't usually recommend people do that all the time.
00:11:20
I think post workouts, static stretching is good.
00:11:23
Yeah.
00:11:23
But I'm more of a fan of, like, a dynamic functional kind of, a range of motion
00:11:27
stretching.
00:11:28
Yeah.
00:11:29
Was telling actually a couple guys that I was leading through.
00:11:31
I was just helping them out.
00:11:33
And, I you know, one thing that I do is I incorporate that in the shower.
00:11:37
So, like, dynamic stretching in the shower when your body's heating up.
00:11:41
Okay.
00:11:42
So, like, on a bar soap, bust your ass.
00:11:47
But I I do it because my body is, like, a little bit more open.
00:11:51
Right?
00:11:51
My blood flowing.
00:11:53
The heat's hitting my back.
00:11:54
And so I'll do I'll do, like, 2 to 3 minutes of just, like, pure stretching in the shower.
00:11:59
Yeah.
00:12:00
My wife thinks I'm a little crazy, but, I mean, it's I'm in a great environment to do it.
00:12:05
Right?
00:12:05
I'm, like, stacking kind of both of those together and my body's already heated up.
00:12:09
Yeah.
00:12:10
So or
00:12:10
or, like, if due to, like, one of my favorite hack before, like, before I lift, right, is,
00:12:14
like, Asana
00:12:15
Yeah.
00:12:16
With some movement.
00:12:17
So, like, if you have access to Asana that's big enough for you and you can do some kind of
00:12:20
bodyweight squats and maybe some push ups, you know, some kind of dynamic stretching, moving
00:12:25
the arms, moving the legs, those like hip openers and closers.
00:12:28
Plus that heat.
00:12:29
Like you said, it's getting like circulation.
00:12:31
It's getting blood flowing through the body.
00:12:33
Yeah.
00:12:33
You go to work out, bro, and you feel like ready.
00:12:35
Just monitoring.
00:12:36
Yeah.
00:12:36
You don't feel like stiff and you're having to, like, you know, kind of force
00:12:39
it up.
00:12:39
And that's what something that's when an injury happens, anyway, when you're stiff.
00:12:43
Right?
00:12:43
So the warm
00:12:44
up is real important.
00:12:45
Yeah.
00:12:45
Yeah.
00:12:45
Most people are like, oh, I got an hour to work out.
00:12:47
I'm gonna just go straight from sitting at a desk all day to try to bench press this way.
00:12:52
Yeah.
00:12:52
It's like, dude, like, that's asking for That's asking for problems.
00:12:56
Yeah.
00:12:56
Yeah.
00:12:56
Yeah.
00:12:57
Yeah.
00:12:57
One of the one of the big things is, like, preventative, I think, of golf.
00:13:01
When you know, majority of amateur golfers show up, like, 5 minutes before their tee time and
00:13:07
expect to, like, play a good round.
00:13:09
Right?
00:13:12
I should have at the tee time.
00:13:14
What the hell can I hit the ball?
00:13:15
It's all frustrating.
00:13:16
Like, But when you're, like, at the range, you've heated up, your body's getting
00:13:21
acclimated.
00:13:22
Yeah.
00:13:22
Yeah.
00:13:22
You have some kinetic motion, some muscle memories coming back a little bit.
00:13:26
You're prepared to go into your round a little bit more.
00:13:29
You're like, oh, dang.
00:13:30
I I part
00:13:30
a little better.
00:13:31
Right?
00:13:31
Yeah.
00:13:31
In good sense.
00:13:32
Right?
00:13:32
You're putting odds in your favor.
00:13:34
Right?
00:13:34
Yeah.
00:13:34
It's the same thing with the working out.
00:13:36
It's also, like, preventive of injury.
00:13:38
There's, like, injuries that even that occurred during golf.
00:13:40
Yeah.
00:13:40
It's because you freaking going 5 minutes before the tee time and Yeah.
00:13:44
You know?
00:13:45
Not, not swinging the club at all.
00:13:46
They do just hack hacking away.
00:13:49
Yeah.
00:13:49
That's right.
00:13:49
A 9 iron or a driver that
00:13:51
Yeah.
00:13:51
You know, your body wasn't for that quite yet.
00:13:54
Yeah.
00:13:54
And how many injuries you see bro or, like, even I'm I'm guilty of this in the past, like,
00:13:58
the ego injury
00:14:00
in the
00:14:00
jam bro and you got the got the weight on the bench press.
00:14:02
So you got the weight on the swap bar, and there's someone next to you who's doing a
00:14:05
little bit more.
00:14:06
You're like, oh, shit.
00:14:07
I I gotta do more.
00:14:08
Like, I gotta be like this guy, you know, you throw a little bit more weight on there than
00:14:11
maybe you can do.
00:14:12
Yeah.
00:14:12
And you
00:14:12
end up kinda pushing it, tweaking something and not, you know, so it's like checking that ego,
00:14:16
making sure you're not going in there to prove anything to anyone else.
00:14:20
Right?
00:14:20
Like, go to the gym to get better for yourself.
00:14:22
For sure.
00:14:22
I think ultimately is a huge problem for most people.
00:14:25
It's like, to be contest in most gyms.
00:14:27
Right?
00:14:27
Your your big box gyms.
00:14:29
Everyone's in there to look good and kinda show off a little bit.
00:14:31
And it's like, check that at the doorman and just go in there to get better.
00:14:35
Right?
00:14:35
Like, it's you versus you.
00:14:36
It's not you versus anyone else in there.
00:14:38
Right?
00:14:38
I love that.
00:14:38
Yeah.
00:14:39
And, I think that that kinda segues until, like, you gotta be training for not only your
00:14:45
goals, right, like, like, my goals are different than your goals are different than
00:14:48
don't know what else those goals.
00:14:49
Right?
00:14:49
Like, your goals are specific to you, but also, like, your body type.
00:14:52
Right?
00:14:53
I know we we talked about this a lot.
00:14:54
Like, you and I, it's, you know, people have different body types.
00:14:58
You're ectomorph, mesomorph, and the morph, just the hybrids in between.
00:15:02
It's like, people are just gonna naturally be able to have more muscle can do more of those
00:15:06
power lifting type moves and be and be good with pushing heavy weight.
00:15:09
Mhmm.
00:15:10
Other people like your your long distance runner type builds, that's probably not in
00:15:15
their best favor.
00:15:15
I mean, yes, they should strength train, but it's, like, to an extent, they have to be,
00:15:20
conscious of their frame.
00:15:21
Right?
00:15:21
And, like, Like, tell me a little bit about what what you were talking about earlier.
00:15:24
Like, the the this is actually new to me is, what the the the amount of muscle or weight of
00:15:30
muscle should have on their frame.
00:15:31
Right?
00:15:32
Oh, naturally.
00:15:32
And this is, like, untrained over the course of a lifetime is that typically max, you can hold
00:15:38
£50 of additional muscle which I was like, when he said that, so Alan Allergan, he's a,
00:15:43
obviously, a nutrition scientist and pretty well known.
00:15:46
Mhmm.
00:15:47
But He was the one who basically was saying that, you know, pick up a forty five pound.
00:15:52
Like, and That's a lot of weight.
00:15:54
That's a lot
00:15:54
of weight.
00:15:54
Yeah.
00:15:55
Right?
00:15:55
Yeah.
00:15:55
Holding your kid or whatever.
00:15:56
That's a lot of way to, like, hold on a muscular frame.
00:15:59
Right.
00:15:59
And then you're you were saying that, you know, just imagine if you extend beyond that, right,
00:16:04
whether it's artificially or you're, like, increasing your caloric intake to loads that
00:16:07
you probably You probably shouldn't.
00:16:11
Right?
00:16:12
Yeah.
00:16:12
Then you increase that, and then it becomes, like, where what does your joints?
00:16:19
Right.
00:16:19
Over, you know, the course of a lifetime.
00:16:21
Right?
00:16:22
Like, you're enhanced.
00:16:23
Like, yeah.
00:16:24
Yeah.
00:16:24
You know, and that's pure muscle.
00:16:26
But, you know, we even talk about, you know, people are overweight.
00:16:29
You know, you're just sloppy and you're you're holding on excess weight.
00:16:32
Yeah.
00:16:32
Like, what that dust you're doing.
00:16:33
Weight is great.
00:16:34
Right.
00:16:34
There's degradation muscle fat gravity is gonna pull down on your body.
00:16:38
Right.
00:16:38
So, like, the more you have, the more it's gonna pull.
00:16:41
I think that the example we were talking about earlier was Ronnie Coleman, like,
00:16:44
yeah,
00:16:45
he was freaking dude, look, him and his prime, he was insanely like, I like Literally.
00:16:54
Just walking around.
00:16:55
I freaking
00:16:55
can't even walk.
00:16:56
Now every every little reel you get of him and him and Arnold are, like, hanging out
00:17:00
Yeah.
00:17:00
On Venice Beach.
00:17:01
And the
00:17:01
dude Can't even freaking walk?
00:17:03
Yeah.
00:17:04
Yeah.
00:17:04
Well, he pushed the limits beyond.
00:17:06
Yeah.
00:17:06
I
00:17:06
mean, like, yeah, he won a bunch of shows and was like this looked like a Greek god, like,
00:17:11
but now he's has no discs in his spine.
00:17:14
Yeah.
00:17:15
And so, like, he he I I think he has fusions in his entire back.
00:17:19
Yeah.
00:17:19
So it's like, man, like, what's the trade off?
00:17:21
Right?
00:17:21
Like, do you know all this in the prime year life to, like, have no future locally.
00:17:25
Let's talk about that for a minute because I love this concept of, like, body building
00:17:29
because it is it's definitely one of these things where you're like, man, like, it's a we
00:17:35
went to it was a fitfest.
00:17:37
I think it was USA fit or something like that.
00:17:39
Nutrisious, we had a we had a boot there.
00:17:40
Yeah.
00:17:41
And I was looking at these guys, and I'm like, Bro, they are specimens.
00:17:45
Like, I'm like, man, they're sped like, dude, I'm not no, I'm all.
00:17:49
They're freaking good looking dudes.
00:17:50
I'm like, these bodies are
00:17:51
Well, that's what it reminds me.
00:17:52
It's like, I wanna be like that.
00:17:53
You know what I mean?
00:17:54
So then, no, like, big dude, and is doing this over the course, you know, maybe even won some
00:18:01
competitions.
00:18:02
So Ronnie Coleman, obviously, won some Jay Cutler winning some competition.
00:18:05
Yeah.
00:18:05
Arnold Schwarzenegger.
00:18:06
Yeah.
00:18:06
Honors.
00:18:07
Definitely, I would say has, like, kept himself pretty well, but then at the expense of, like,
00:18:08
you getting to sixties, you know, 5th late fifties sixties now, and you can't keep it
00:18:23
together.
00:18:24
Like, I mean, some of these guys' bodies are just, given up on them.
00:18:27
Yeah.
00:18:27
And
00:18:27
I'm like, that's kinda honestly a little early.
00:18:30
Like, I think longevity wise, I'm like, man, it I kinda wanna be moving like, you know, well
00:18:35
into my eighties.
00:18:36
It's freaking sad, man.
00:18:37
I think it sucks.
00:18:38
So, yeah.
00:18:39
Yeah.
00:18:39
Like, you did that, my head.
00:18:41
It ain't all that cool.
00:18:42
Like, they're definitely pushing those boundaries.
00:18:45
Yeah.
00:18:46
I don't know.
00:18:46
What are your thoughts?
00:18:47
Cause I I'm like, dude, that's a sexy ass man.
00:18:49
Yeah.
00:18:50
I think Dude, I think you gotta know, right, like, the consequences.
00:18:54
Yeah.
00:18:54
You have to know.
00:18:55
Go on ahead.
00:18:56
I'm gonna.
00:18:57
If somebody knows and doesn't share that with you and or lies and and you go into it without,
00:19:01
then that sucks.
00:19:01
Like, it's unfortunate.
00:19:03
Like, you gotta know, hey, I might compromise my future years because I wanna achieve some
00:19:10
goal right now.
00:19:11
Yeah.
00:19:11
The same with, like, NFL players, bro.
00:19:12
It's like, these NFL running backs, man, brain injuries, massive injuries, like ACLs, hips,
00:19:18
like, all that kind of stuff.
00:19:19
Dude, they get just beat to hell.
00:19:22
Like, bro, by the time they're fifty, these dudes are are are not functioning.
00:19:25
You know what I mean?
00:19:26
And it's like, but maybe you made 1 and 1 of dollars
00:19:29
to you.
00:19:30
It was worth it.
00:19:30
I I don't know.
00:19:31
Like, I don't think to me it would be.
00:19:33
Like, I wanna be able to move.
00:19:34
Well, you can make 1 and 1 of dollars well at your 80s with a good brain.
00:19:37
Yeah.
00:19:37
So it's just, like, again, man, it's like you if you everyone's autonomous human can make
00:19:42
decisions for themselves, To you, you want to make that decision and do that?
00:19:45
Do it.
00:19:45
Like, I'm not gonna tell you no.
00:19:46
Do whatever you want.
00:19:47
Yeah.
00:19:48
But know that it does have downstream effects, right, later in life, and there's gonna be
00:19:52
things that come with it.
00:19:54
That's that's that is one
00:19:55
of the things about the game of football that I've had I've had the biggest thing.
00:20:00
My dad did not So he let me play football.
00:20:02
I wasn't allowed to play.
00:20:03
You weren't allowed to play?
00:20:04
My god.
00:20:04
My parents were like, no.
00:20:05
Like, you're a small, little Italian kid.
00:20:07
You're not playing freaking football, dude.
00:20:10
So
00:20:10
my dad, like, put the scare tag that got me.
00:20:12
He's like, dude, you're pretty good at basketball.
00:20:14
If you play football, you're you're gonna have to give up your basketball season.
00:20:17
I was like, like, why?
00:20:19
He's like, you're you're guaranteed to get injured.
00:20:22
And so I'm like, really?
00:20:23
Interesting.
00:20:24
And I was like, that's an interesting outlook.
00:20:26
And but the reality was, dude, he was, like, nearly a 100% right almost all the time because
00:20:32
there was a guy.
00:20:33
I remember him, and we called him from.
00:20:36
And this dude, was a he was a pretty good basketball player.
00:20:42
And he he was a good receiver too.
00:20:44
He busted a senior year, man, torn ACL.
00:20:47
Yeah.
00:20:47
There was another kid that could shoot, Kent Fia.
00:20:51
He he definitely yeah.
00:20:52
I don't think he I don't think he I think he made it through half the season, but I think he
00:20:56
had a shoulder injury or something like that.
00:20:58
So all these guys, these players that, like, played football, eventually, you know, they
00:21:03
came in with an injury during basketball season because, obviously, you're in, I think it fall
00:21:08
in Michigan.
00:21:09
I don't know if it's different.
00:21:10
Yeah.
00:21:10
No.
00:21:10
No.
00:21:10
No.
00:21:11
It's all the same.
00:21:11
Like, in the fall is football season.
00:21:14
Yeah.
00:21:14
So you're coming in out of the summertime.
00:21:16
You're coming in.
00:21:17
Right.
00:21:17
And then basketball season comes in the winter.
00:21:19
Yeah.
00:21:20
And, Yep.
00:21:21
That, like, it it just so anyways, my dad, my dad, I was like, I would, like, always try out,
00:21:28
and I'd be like, man, I'm I gonna get hurt.
00:21:30
And I was actually a pretty good football player.
00:21:32
Yeah.
00:21:33
But I I never played.
00:21:35
So then that comes back down to, like, talking about football a little bit.
00:21:39
Of the longevity of the sport.
00:21:42
I know it's like, honestly, it it's not as popular as it was.
00:21:46
It's becoming depopular in terms of I I think that's more Colin Kaepernick and there's other
00:21:52
associations that becoming a wise becoming unpopular.
00:21:55
Yeah.
00:21:56
But I think personally it's becoming a little bit more unpopular is because less kids are
00:22:02
playing it because they're seeing the long term effects of, like, what it does to your brand.
00:22:06
I know there's a guy from a linebacker from Wisconsin ended up playing for the San
00:22:11
Francisco 40 niners.
00:22:12
I forget his name, but he's like, dude, screw the He got in the league.
00:22:16
Yeah.
00:22:16
Was tearing up the league.
00:22:18
Yeah.
00:22:18
Like had was well, who is
00:22:20
the receiver for the lions, bro?
00:22:22
Megatron that was his nickname?
00:22:23
Kamatrons.
00:22:24
He had Kamatrons.
00:22:25
It was
00:22:25
hide of his career quit because he was like, I wanna live a life.
00:22:28
I wanna live.
00:22:29
Yeah.
00:22:29
Because I kinda wanna be crippled later.
00:22:32
Yeah.
00:22:32
That's that takes, like, some, you know, I mean, you Some stones to do, bro, like, giving
00:22:37
up 1 of dollars.
00:22:38
Same thing.
00:22:38
Very simple.
00:22:39
It's like maybe maybe tough, Super Bowls, that kind of stuff.
00:22:41
Yeah.
00:22:42
Bary Sanders is the same thing.
00:22:43
They're like, what?
00:22:43
You're gonna cut your career short, but for the sake of entertainment, he's like, bro, you
00:22:47
gotta understand where I'm coming from.
00:22:49
Yeah.
00:22:49
And you were talking about specifically running backs dude, running backs, you're going full
00:22:53
speed.
00:22:54
Your goal is to get tackled.
00:22:55
Like, I had £250 dude or 3.
00:22:56
Like, or yeah.
00:22:58
Like, It's either you agree, Bill, pass them or you get tackled every play.
00:23:04
Every play.
00:23:04
Every play.
00:23:05
And go head first.
00:23:06
Right.
00:23:07
Yeah.
00:23:07
Literally.
00:23:08
Just go ahead first and ignore
00:23:09
happens if I get smashed it.
00:23:11
Just wild stuff.
00:23:13
Like, in so if you really think about the game of football and then specifically what that
00:23:16
does on Yeah.
00:23:18
A man's body over the course of there's there was a dude that I played basketball with.
00:23:24
He was I'm telling you his name is Kevin Kilgo, He was a really good basketball player.
00:23:31
Like, the dude had footwork for being 65 and, like, probably 2 75, £300.
00:23:36
He might have been over £300, but, like, he was good, like, really, really good.
00:23:41
The dude, went to, Talito and blew I think he blew out both of his knees.
00:23:47
He told me I saw him, like, couple years ago.
00:23:50
He told me that he's gonna have to have replacement by the time he's 40.
00:23:53
I'm like, yeah.
00:23:55
That's up.
00:23:55
He didn't even make it the league.
00:23:57
He didn't get any NIL money.
00:23:59
He didn't get any, like, there's no money.
00:24:02
And there's, like, there's no money for the offensive line.
00:24:05
I mean, it's an offensive lineman or so.
00:24:07
He's not getting money.
00:24:08
Like, unless he makes it a league, He's not making money.
00:24:11
So now he's gotta get a knee replacement at 4.
00:24:13
I'm like, what?
00:24:14
That sucks.
00:24:14
And it's so rare, like, like, you know, how many kids play football then how many kids from
00:24:19
that percentage become college players?
00:24:21
Not a lot.
00:24:21
It's a very Not
00:24:22
a lot.
00:24:22
Yeah.
00:24:22
And then go into the NFL.
00:24:23
It's like a it's a
00:24:25
very small I
00:24:26
think a fraction of a percent.
00:24:27
Right?
00:24:27
Yeah.
00:24:28
And so then to end with an injury, it's like, dude, that's gotta be very
00:24:32
as we're talking about this more and more as governor, my my buddy Ryan, he was a pretty
00:24:37
good linebacker in high school.
00:24:38
I think he was, like, an all state linebacker.
00:24:41
The dude is, he's super unhealthy.
00:24:44
Ryan, if you're watching this dude, I'm sorry, but I'm gonna let you know.
00:24:47
I'm gonna call you out.
00:24:47
He was just sloppy now.
00:24:49
But one of the reason it turned out.
00:24:51
Just Yeah.
00:24:52
Lost and ride.
00:24:53
Bro, I don't know you, Ryan,
00:24:54
but dude, Ryan, though,
00:24:56
he is
00:24:57
he's probably I if I had to guess, honestly, bro, you're probably, what, a buck, a £150
00:25:03
overweight, I would say.
00:25:04
Like, the first frame he's probably £150 overweight.
00:25:07
But this dude has such bad ankles,
00:25:09
bro.
00:25:09
Became a
00:25:10
roast.
00:25:10
This dude this dude has such bad, like, ankles, knees, hips, shoulders from high school
00:25:19
football.
00:25:20
Didn't play a down of a college football.
00:25:23
Yeah.
00:25:23
And his body is just wrecked.
00:25:25
I think he actually didn't go, at Lake House football because his body was so wrecked in
00:25:30
high school.
00:25:31
Yeah.
00:25:31
Yeah.
00:25:32
Insane, bro.
00:25:33
Like, I mean, there's kid after kid after kid.
00:25:36
So granted, I mean, football is a cool sport, but it's pure entertainment.
00:25:41
Yeah.
00:25:42
It is.
00:25:42
And, like, again, man, it's like, you go into it.
00:25:44
You should know the the the possible outcomes.
00:25:46
Yeah.
00:25:47
Right?
00:25:47
Like, hey, you could go and play any that long career in the NFL.
00:25:50
No injuries.
00:25:52
Very lucky.
00:25:53
There's there's no unlikely, but the dude's getting dinged up pretty hard.
00:25:57
And and even if it's, you know, I was thinking like basketball compared to football,
00:26:00
basketball is different injuries.
00:26:01
Yeah.
00:26:01
You don't see as many of those big, like, ACL blown out and whatever, like, hip, you know,
00:26:07
fractures and stuff like that.
00:26:08
It's more like, oh, he sprained his ankle.
00:26:09
He's out for a few weeks.
00:26:10
Or like, oh, he, like, sprained his knee.
00:26:12
It's a
00:26:13
little, like, yeah.
00:26:15
That was weird.
00:26:16
Yeah.
00:26:16
Yeah.
00:26:17
For listening, I was playing about ball.
00:26:19
I can't.
00:26:19
Aggressive guys at lifetime.
00:26:21
Yeah.
00:26:21
No.
00:26:21
It's just it was out out, at Julian Lane Park, bro, outside.
00:26:25
Yeah.
00:26:25
2 PM.
00:26:25
There's, like, a 105 degrees out there like, I'm tired and me and this dude just, like,
00:26:29
collided.
00:26:30
And, like, he was a £100 heavier than me for sure.
00:26:33
The way
00:26:33
he caught my rib dude, it just, like, Like, you
00:26:36
know, like, that feeling,
00:26:37
you know, took a breath out of you.
00:26:38
And then, like, a week later, I'm like, this shit, it's not healing.
00:26:41
This feels weird.
00:26:42
Took an x-ray on myself in the office.
00:26:43
And I was like, I broke my ribs, dude.
00:26:45
That's sweet.
00:26:47
And then we went and played golf the next day.
00:26:48
And that was when I was like, yeah.
00:26:50
I should
00:26:50
take Yeah.
00:26:50
You just take a break of this.
00:26:52
But it's it's better now, man.
00:26:53
I'm good.
00:26:54
But those are the injuries that happen.
00:26:56
You know?
00:26:56
Right.
00:26:57
If you're gonna be inactive If I'm gonna go Like, you're an active dad.
00:26:59
Right?
00:27:00
Like, so you like you like playing basketball.
00:27:03
You like playing golf.
00:27:06
Those injuries will come along the way, but, like, then how do you mitigate those?
00:27:06
So
00:27:09
Yeah.
00:27:10
We I think we both agree injuries are unavoidable, especially if you're what I
00:27:15
consider, like, the working athlete.
00:27:17
Right?
00:27:17
Yeah.
00:27:18
Where, dude, I like playing.
00:27:19
We can wear your kinda Exactly.
00:27:22
But then how do they they become unavoidable?
00:27:24
Or the how do they how do you mitigate Right.
00:27:26
So and then be able to rebound a little bit more quickly as you age.
00:27:31
And that's where that's where, like, you've really played a big role in terms of, okay.
00:27:35
Well, what am I doing before and after, right, am I proactively stretching?
00:27:41
Am I, like, that's something that I do every time.
00:27:43
Like, before I go out and golf, Like, literally, I'm doing dynamic stretches.
00:27:47
Right?
00:27:48
Like, as if I'm going into a cross foot workout, I'm doing stretches like that for
00:27:51
golf.
00:27:52
Right?
00:27:52
Just letting my body limber up.
00:27:54
Getting to heat up, heat heat up my central nervous system.
00:27:57
That's really a big thing.
00:27:58
Yeah.
00:27:58
Of incorporating your central nervous system, letting it heat up a little bit.
00:28:02
And then what are you doing after, too, post?
00:28:04
Yeah.
00:28:05
If you have a little bit of static stretches in there, but I think good dynamic stretches, even
00:28:09
after Right.
00:28:11
Allow the body to to, to, I guess, come out of maybe an athletic endeavor, that you might be
00:28:17
in.
00:28:17
Yeah.
00:28:17
Because I would call CrossFit kind of an athletic endeavor, but I would also call, like,
00:28:24
basketball.
00:28:24
You still need to stretch because there's certain things that you're gonna be moving
00:28:27
around.
00:28:28
That, require good stretching.
00:28:30
Yeah.
00:28:30
But then getting adjusted.
00:28:32
Like, dude, I get adjusted, like, once or twice a week.
00:28:35
Right?
00:28:35
Yeah.
00:28:35
Yeah.
00:28:35
And then
00:28:36
Your spine.
00:28:36
Being able to move is so important.
00:28:37
You're joint.
00:28:38
Right?
00:28:38
It's like, then your muscle.
00:28:40
Because if not, if your if your spine is rigid, bro, and your muscle's trying to overwork for
00:28:44
that, that's gonna cause an injury.
00:28:45
That's gonna be more like those annoying, like, long term just nagging.
00:28:49
This muscle always hurts to cut injuries.
00:28:51
Right?
00:28:51
Because your body can't move
00:28:52
get this.
00:28:53
So this guy, this is what he does to me.
00:28:55
He freaking cracks my ears, number 1.
00:28:58
So he, like, does this weird ear crack to me?
00:29:00
And then he, then he cracks my head, and it is unbelievable.
00:29:04
If you watch me on Instagram, I'll post every once in a while out of him.
00:29:07
He does this crack in the neck.
00:29:09
I swear to you, like, I would wake up all the time with these, like, weird, like, little just
00:29:16
little tweaks in my neck, and I'm like, oh, man.
00:29:18
Slope it.
00:29:19
Not once, have I woke up with something like that?
00:29:21
Nice.
00:29:21
Because I have I just get quality neck turns on a weekly basis, bro.
00:29:25
That's good.
00:29:27
Let's see functional health
00:29:28
for you.
00:29:28
Little drop.
00:29:29
Little plug.
00:29:29
Thanks, man.
00:29:31
Well, I think, you know, I think kind of, in summary of everything we talked about, bro, I
00:29:35
was like, we're not talking to professional football players We're not Yeah.
00:29:38
As much.
00:29:38
Right?
00:29:38
Maybe there's some that are gonna listen to this, that'd be cool.
00:29:40
But, you know, the the the average person like us who's trying to maybe push their limits a
00:29:45
bit.
00:29:46
Right?
00:29:46
Yeah.
00:29:46
Has a family maybe is is 30 plus is looking to be successful in career, but also wants to stay
00:29:52
fit and healthy.
00:29:53
Uh-huh.
00:29:55
Check your ego.
00:29:55
Do the basics.
00:29:57
Right?
00:29:57
Don't be don't be too good for warm up.
00:30:00
Right?
00:30:01
Like, I I I was guilty of that all the time.
00:30:03
I'm just gonna go in here and freaking hit some weights.
00:30:17
Like, do some some actual fund functional movement, getting every range of of motion in
00:30:22
the hips and the shoulders going before you train that pillar that we talked about from the
00:30:27
Nasim is so good to to focus on, bro.
00:30:29
You incorporate every level of that into a workout.
00:30:32
Like, you're gonna have a great workout.
00:30:34
So you're doing some stabilization training.
00:30:36
You're doing that that more like endurance, getting the muscles warmed up, and then you're
00:30:39
gonna push the strength.
00:30:40
And I think that's a I think that's a fantastic way to train mostly.
00:30:43
Yeah.
00:30:44
Yeah.
00:30:45
I love it, man.
00:30:45
I I also do cold water therapy.
00:30:47
I freaking love it.
00:30:48
And then recovery.
00:30:48
That's
00:30:49
food recovery.
00:30:49
How do you mitigate injury?
00:30:50
Make sure you recover
00:30:51
Yeah.
00:30:52
Oh, I just lifted 3 days in a row.
00:30:53
My body feels sore and tight.
00:30:55
Let me go play basketball.
00:30:56
Probably not a good idea.
00:30:58
Yeah.
00:30:58
All the time.
00:30:58
I'm like, man, like, I'm just gonna go play ball today because I got a lift, but my whole
00:31:02
body hurts.
00:31:03
Yeah.
00:31:03
That was probably due too much volume.
00:31:04
It's just having like a smart training regimen.
00:31:07
It's gonna how you it's how you prevent Yeah.
00:31:10
That's one thing that really has when when I got into more functional health and really
00:31:15
understanding.
00:31:16
I had a direct association with my body.
00:31:19
So, like, over the I haven't worked out, because, like, I tweaked my back.
00:31:23
I was like, I wanna focus on this.
00:31:25
Right, for the next few days.
00:31:27
Yeah.
00:31:28
Because it's not good.
00:31:29
I gotta listen to my body, whereas, like, exactly what you're talking about.
00:31:33
Know, it doesn't hurt that bad.
00:31:34
Yeah.
00:31:34
Maybe I'll go, lift, and then I'll play a little basketball game.
00:31:38
If I miss
00:31:38
2 days.
00:31:39
Right?
00:31:39
So I'm gonna work through this injury.
00:31:41
Probably make it worse and then have to take them off.
00:31:43
It's like, yeah.
00:31:44
It makes no sense.
00:31:45
Yeah.
00:31:45
So that, you know, that's when you're ahead and your body and start aligning.
00:31:50
That's a dude, man.
00:31:51
You it becomes a superpower.
00:31:53
That's awesome.
00:31:53
All good.
00:31:54
That's cool.
00:31:54
Awesome, man.
00:31:56
Cool, man.
00:31:57
So, dude, I think that was a powerhouse.
00:32:00
Yeah.
00:32:00
That's cool.
00:32:01
I'm gonna hit it new.
00:32:02
You know?
00:32:02
I'm just all working up.
00:32:03
I'm gonna hit it new.
00:32:04
