00:00:00
You build physical resilience, and you'll build mental resilience, but the problem is, like,
00:00:04
you just mentioned, that so many people just get in the routine of being in the routine.
00:00:09
They go to the gym.
00:00:10
They do the same five things, and they leave.
00:00:12
They get on the treadmill.
00:00:13
They go through 3 machines.
00:00:15
They go do some abs, and they walk out.
00:00:17
And that's about all they do.
00:00:19
Right?
00:00:19
And you don't build any level of physical or mental resilience by doing that.
00:00:24
So the mental resilience is built in the gym literally set to set in rep to rep if you push
00:00:30
yourself effectively.

00:01:20
Jerry Scarlado, on the on the call that they, from the Good Wolf podcast.
00:01:21
Jerry focuses on self improvement and personal development.
00:01:21
His podcast explores a range of topics including mindset, fitness, nutrition, overall
00:01:35
well-being.
00:01:36
Scarado Infini emphasizes the importance of nurturing the good wolf within
00:01:40
each person.
00:01:40
Concept derived from the famous native parable about 2
00:01:40
wolves that represent opposing forces within us.
00:01:48
Welcome to the podcast, Jerry.
00:01:52
Thanks, Dallas.
00:01:52
Appreciate you guys.
00:01:53
I, I appreciate that intro, man.
00:01:56
That was well done.
00:01:57
But, yeah, man.
00:01:59
Great to have.
00:01:59
Great to be on.
00:02:00
Matt, you and I got a chance to talk on, on my show just the other day.
00:02:05
So, you know, hopefully, you guys, your audience will be able to jump over and and
00:02:09
listen to that as well because we had a great conversation.
00:02:12
But, yeah, looking forward to seeing what we can make happen today.
00:02:16
Yeah, man.
00:02:17
Tell us a little bit about the the good wolf.
00:02:20
We were talking about it before, the podcast, but how that derived, how that, you know,
00:02:26
speaks to you and how you came up with the concept.
00:02:29
So it was an accident to begin with.
00:02:31
I'll go back to the beginning of the story and, let it play out.
00:02:35
So, I had a fitness studio for 10 years.
00:02:38
And when I first started it, we, you know, we just kinda got it started.
00:02:42
It was called dry fitness.
00:02:43
I had about 25 members.
00:02:46
And one day, one of my members was like, he was joking around, and he was like, oh, yeah, the
00:02:51
pack.
00:02:51
We're part of the pack, and we get to, you know, we we enjoy each other.
00:02:54
We come in here.
00:02:55
We work out hard.
00:02:55
And I'm like, oh, what'd you just say?
00:02:57
He's like, oh, the pack.
00:02:59
I was like, oh, I kinda like that.
00:03:00
So we got this sign made, and we put it up on the wall, and it said run with the pack, and we
00:03:05
we we officially got a woof as our mascot.
00:03:08
So it's slowly, like, built into this thing and then suddenly, we had wolves all over the
00:03:13
place.
00:03:14
And and last year, when I went to start the podcast, I thought about what would be a good
00:03:21
name for the podcast, and I heard the parable before which I can set which I can I can run
00:03:27
through the parable, but I'd heard the parable before?
00:03:29
And I'm like, you know, that's what we do here because Thryvology, which ended up being the
00:03:34
name of the studio.
00:03:35
I think I changed the name, like, five times, but that's another story for another day.
00:03:41
We ended up calling it Thryvology because we moved locations, and I wanted to trademark the
00:03:45
name and Thryfitness was already trademarked.
00:03:48
So we changed the name to Thryvology.
00:03:51
And if you asked any of our members what we did, it wasn't just like, hey.
00:03:55
We worked out here.
00:03:56
It wasn't just, hey.
00:03:57
We we came here and trained.
00:03:59
Most of them would tell you that we tried to promote a full holistic lifestyle.
00:04:03
We tried to promote the best version of yourself, and we did that in many different
00:04:07
ways.
00:04:07
We offered nutrition coaching, Of course, we had training there, but then we would also do
00:04:11
community events.
00:04:12
We would also do workshops that promoted personal growth.
00:04:15
We would also do goal setting workshops.
00:04:17
And at the 1st the year, we would do different workshops and so forth.
00:04:20
So they would all tell you that we promoted more than that.
00:04:23
So I'm like, oh, good wolf sounds great.
00:04:26
Good wolf something.
00:04:26
So whenever I first started it, it was good wolf radio.
00:04:30
And then last year, I closed the business down.
00:04:32
And as I closed it down, I knew I wanted to take this brand and move it forward, but radio
00:04:37
kinda sounded very general, so I wanted to make it more deliberate.
00:04:41
So then I changed radio to project because we are all an ongoing project.
00:04:45
We are all constantly trying to build the best version of ourselves.
00:04:49
So for those of you who don't know the parable sorry.
00:04:52
I'm, like, completely taking up this podcast right now, but those
00:04:55
of you who
00:04:56
don't know the parable, the parable is an old Cherokee legend a Cherokee chief and his
00:05:04
grandson are sitting around a fire.
00:05:06
And they're sitting there chatting, and the Cherokee chief is telling his son, hey.
00:05:11
We all have 2 wolves inside of us.
00:05:13
A bad wolf that's full of hate and greed and envy and a good wolf that's filled filled with
00:05:20
joy and happiness and love and care.
00:05:22
And they chat back and forth a little longer, and the grandson looks at the chief.
00:05:27
And he goes, Well, Grant, Paul, if we both have 2 if we all have 2 good wolves inside of us,
00:05:31
which one wins, and their chief says the one you feed.
00:05:36
So that's where the name, the good wolf comes from.
00:05:40
It's just the idea that you're constantly feeding your best version of yourself.
00:05:44
You're constantly having to work on yourself.
00:05:46
As we all know, when we let that slip, when we kinda let our ideal of our best self go to the
00:05:53
wayside, it we very easily slip backwards.
00:05:56
So it's just a constant progression.
00:05:59
Yeah.
00:05:59
And and that's exactly the whole, like, the one you feed thing, right, is, like, we have we all
00:06:04
have these things inside of us, and you can choose to focus on the good stuff.
00:06:08
You can choose to focus on the negative, and those things will grow the more you focus on
00:06:12
them.
00:06:12
We're just talking about that this morning with, with, you know, having a negative mindset
00:06:16
or negative attitude.
00:06:17
As soon as you shift into gratitude, you can't focus on both at the same time.
00:06:21
It's impossible.
00:06:22
So when you're focusing on gratitude, you're literally starving that negativity and that,
00:06:27
you know, that hate or whatever it might be.
00:06:29
You're starving that out because you're feeding the other one.
00:06:33
So I I love that parable, man.
00:06:34
I've definitely, thought about that
00:06:36
a lot, and that's something that, you know, I mean, We we basically put into practice daily
00:06:41
feeding the good wolf.
00:06:43
No doubt.
00:06:44
And Matt and I talked about this during our episode how Matt went through his own
00:06:49
transition in his twenties going from a negative mind set to a positive mindset and
00:06:54
starting to make that shift, as he was growing himself.
00:06:57
And I told my own story and kinda doing the same thing.
00:07:01
Mine was a mine was a little more dramatic, if you will, or a little more instant.
00:07:05
His was a little more progressive.
00:07:07
But, you know, I went through a depressive state in my early twenties as well because I
00:07:11
played college football and, you know, being an athlete all the way up through my early
00:07:16
twenties.
00:07:17
Once football was over, athletics was done, and I felt like a part of me was done.
00:07:22
Right?
00:07:23
I felt like my identity had kinda shifted, and it didn't really know at the time where that
00:07:27
was shifting.
00:07:27
And I didn't have the mental resilience to kinda start to work through things.
00:07:31
So I went into this punk.
00:07:33
I went into this depression.
00:07:34
I started to put on weight At the time I told myself it was deliberate, which it kinda was
00:07:39
because I've been in the weight room, and I've always enjoyed lifting heavy.
00:07:42
And at the time, I was trying to put on some size, but, turns out I put on a little more
00:07:46
than I intended to.
00:07:48
So There was one day where I got on the scale, and this is after maybe 9 months of just, like,
00:07:54
secluding myself from people, having a tear like, my mindset was not in a good place.
00:07:59
I knew that I was not mentally, strong.
00:08:04
So I get on the scale, and I probably hadn't been on the scale in 9 months because I was
00:08:08
just like, hey.
00:08:09
I'm putting on weight.
00:08:09
Why do I need to weigh myself?
00:08:11
Okay.
00:08:11
Yeah.
00:08:11
Jumped on the scale, and I'm like, 2:40.
00:08:13
And I'm like, oh, I remember sitting next to somebody, one of our members.
00:08:18
And I went and I sat back down, and she looked at me.
00:08:20
She goes, well, how was it?
00:08:21
I was like, not good.
00:08:23
Not good.
00:08:24
And it was like, that incident, I was like, damn, I gotta change something.
00:08:27
So I I totally understand you know, Matt and I kinda have that connection where, you know, you
00:08:33
go through those ebbs and flows of life and and, hopefully, you become more resilient.
00:08:39
You know, we all have those times where we're getting knocked down, but I think the goal is
00:08:43
to make your lows higher and your highs higher, you know, you're always gonna have those lows,
00:08:48
but you kinda wanna notch yourself up a little higher every time you get knocked down, if you
00:08:52
will.
00:08:53
So it's it is a constant, a constant work in progress, for sure.
00:08:59
Yeah.
00:08:59
Talk talk about that a little bit more because I think that's such a good concept and
00:09:03
something that really that I've catered to a little bit more about this concept to be called
00:09:08
the forever athlete, right, is that we never truly lose that.
00:09:12
Right?
00:09:12
But there's this there's this shift when you, like, you're no longer competing or performing
00:09:18
in, like, in an athletic endeavor where you're, like, out it to win.
00:09:22
But, like, there's this concept that I have that, you know, I'm not I'm not choosing.
00:09:26
I'm not gonna call myself a former athlete.
00:09:28
I'm a forever athlete.
00:09:29
And home competing every day.
00:09:31
What are some of the things that you do?
00:09:33
I know that you're in phenomenal shape now since that moment.
00:09:37
But what are some of the daily disciplines that you do as a forever athlete today that keep you
00:09:42
at peak performance?
00:09:44
Yeah.
00:09:44
And I love that concept also.
00:09:46
You know, I believe that every human being is meant to, meant to run and jump and and lift
00:09:53
weights and be strong and have lean mass and and be lean.
00:09:57
I I believe that all human beings are meant to and have the capability to do that.
00:10:01
Now, of course, we're convinced through society that that's not the case.
00:10:06
So we have to work against that, which is super challenging for sure.
00:10:10
But, you know, I believe it comes down to deciding what, you have to know what season
00:10:16
you're in, what season of kind of your life that you're in.
00:10:18
And you gotta go, you know, what does it what does success look like for me in my training
00:10:23
for this season.
00:10:24
And the season can be for the next couple of years.
00:10:26
It can be for the next 3 months.
00:10:28
And that parts up to you.
00:10:30
Now, of course, I have regular weight training that I do 5 days a week, and then I also make
00:10:36
sure that I do regular ply metrics 2 or 3 days a week.
00:10:39
And then I have walking that I do every single day because I have standards that I meet for
00:10:44
myself.
00:10:45
Those are just a couple of the basic standards, but then, of course, I have things that I'm
00:10:48
training for also.
00:10:50
So for instance, I just did a tough mudder 2 weeks ago.
00:10:53
Two and a half weeks ago.
00:10:55
So there was a 10 to 12 week period of time where I was training for that.
00:11:00
I don't have the next thing set, which I need to get set.
00:11:03
Otherwise, I'll start to lose my focus, but whatever the next thing is, I'll plan something
00:11:08
12 to 15 weeks down the road, and then I'll start training for that.
00:11:11
So I think having also that thing and it can be a tough mudder.
00:11:15
It can be a marathon.
00:11:16
It can be your own made up, you know, if you have, like, a day where you're like, hey.
00:11:21
This day, I'm gonna test my bench button and deadlift.
00:11:24
So you can have your own thing that you kinda train for, or you can get some buddies together
00:11:29
and you're like, hey.
00:11:29
I wanna I wanna go out and I wanna do something on a certain day, and I want us to be able to
00:11:34
train for that thing.
00:11:35
I think that's important as well.
00:11:37
So you have this combination of your own standards that you do every day.
00:11:41
Like I said, minor training 5 days a week in the weight room.
00:11:44
I walk every day whether that's hiking or just a regular walk at least two miles.
00:11:50
And then I do agility work at least 2 or 3 days a week as well.
00:11:54
And then on the other end of that, to keep things fresh, if you will, is having something
00:11:59
to train for.
00:12:00
Because, of course, we're human beings.
00:12:02
We get bored with things.
00:12:03
Right?
00:12:03
So you gotta keep things fresh by having that that thing out there that you're like, oh,
00:12:07
that's what I gotta get ready for.
00:12:09
Yeah.
00:12:10
I love that.
00:12:10
I think most guys that we do, like, take through our coaching programs.
00:12:14
The guys that we talked to in general is just like, yeah, just go to the gym and, like, I do
00:12:18
my thing.
00:12:18
And it's like, you lose focus because you've done the same thing for so long.
00:12:22
I used to do that.
00:12:23
Right?
00:12:23
Like, I was like more like body building type of exercise, and it just got so boring to me.
00:12:29
I was like, I need to do something different.
00:12:31
And so then I went through, like, a few months of, like, hit training.
00:12:33
And then the last few months, I've been training more athletic again, and I got back
00:12:37
into playing lacrosse.
00:12:38
And so it's like having, like, keeping that, like, periodization almost, right, every couple
00:12:42
months, change it up, do something different, set new goals.
00:12:46
And I I think most people just don't set goals, honestly.
00:12:48
I don't think they have something to to aim for, like, a finish line.
00:12:53
You know?
00:12:53
That kinda, like, phases into, like, the question I wanted to ask you.
00:12:56
Obviously, your your podcast and and our podcast has a lot of mindset and and focusing
00:13:01
on that, but it ties into the physical side as well.
00:13:05
So, you know, what is, what is the relationship between the physical and the mindset that, you
00:13:10
know, is so important and why and why is that so important?
00:13:14
Having worked with thousands of people over the course of owning, that training studio.
00:13:19
I was also a strength conditioning coach for a for a high school in the area for 2 or 3 years.
00:13:25
And throughout that up throughout that time, I was also strength commission coach for
00:13:29
individual sports as well.
00:13:31
Couple swim teams, couple basketball teams, couple soccer teams.
00:13:34
So having trains, you know, anywhere from, like, an eight year old, Kiwi, get athlete to,
00:13:40
like, an a ninety year old.
00:13:42
I think our oldest member at the gym was maybe I'll say 85 and everywhere in between.
00:13:48
Mindset is the most important thing.
00:13:50
And that's what health and fitness misses.
00:13:53
If you look at why most people quit, it is not because the exercise didn't work.
00:13:57
It's not because the diet didn't work.
00:13:59
It's because they didn't have the mental resilience to keep going.
00:14:02
It's because you didn't start to change who you think you are and what you think you're capable
00:14:07
of.
00:14:07
And until you start to make that shift at the same time, then it's gonna be challenging for
00:14:12
you to overcome those barriers when they show up.
00:14:15
Once you actually stop losing weight, once progress stops happening, once things slow down
00:14:21
or when things get hard and your schedule changes, if you don't believe that you're the
00:14:25
kind of person that exercises and maintains your health, and has a level of resilience,
00:14:31
then you're just gonna quit.
00:14:33
That is just gonna go by the waste side.
00:14:35
So that mindset part is is equally as important if not more important because it plays out in
00:14:42
so many different ways.
00:14:43
Now I believe that physical training is the best way to build your mindset because if you
00:14:48
do it correctly, then you will do both.
00:14:50
You'll build physical resilience and you'll build mental resilience, but the problem is,
00:14:54
like, you just mentioned, that's so many people just get in the routine of being in the
00:14:59
routine.
00:14:59
Go to the gym.
00:15:00
They do the same five things, and they leave.
00:15:02
They get on the treadmill.
00:15:03
They go through 3 machines.
00:15:05
They go do some abs, and they walk out.
00:15:07
And that's about all they do.
00:15:09
Right?
00:15:09
And you don't build any level of physical or mental resilience by doing that.
00:15:14
So the mental resilience is built in the gym, literally set to set in rep to rep if you push
00:15:20
yourself effectively.
00:15:22
So you you just if you understand that who you are today can't achieve the goals that you
00:15:28
wanna achieve tomorrow, then you can understand why that mindset development is so important
00:15:35
and why pushing yourself within every session at some form, at some level is so important as
00:15:41
well because it allows you to do both.
00:15:44
Being physically strong and mentally strong.
00:15:46
And it's it's that concept of positive muscle failure that most people will never even get
00:15:51
to.
00:15:51
Right?
00:15:52
They don't push themselves hard enough.
00:15:53
We, you know, Corvendor was on our show.
00:15:56
We talked to Tim a lot about it, and it's like, like, man, I'll be training someone, and
00:16:00
they'll be at, like, 12 reps.
00:16:02
And they're like, oh, and they're about to drop the weights.
00:16:04
And he's like, no.
00:16:04
2 more.
00:16:05
They do 2 more.
00:16:05
He's like, no.
00:16:06
2 more.
00:16:06
They do 2 more.
00:16:07
Then they've done, like, 6 more.
00:16:08
He's like, you were about to drop the weights when you had 6 more in you.
00:16:12
You know, you're the we tap out
00:16:13
mentally long before we tap out physically.
00:16:13
And so we're never really, like, hitting that threshold that is required for that growth
00:16:14
if, you know, if we're talking building muscle and hypertrophy.
00:16:14
And so, you know, that's something that I've
00:16:25
really, really been
00:16:26
focused on lately.
00:16:26
And, you know, so it it does look like obviously volume wise, like, maybe doing less
00:16:26
sets, but making sure each set is done to that month, that positive failure where I'm, like,
00:16:26
I'm stimulating growth and change.
00:16:26
So
00:16:29
Even
00:16:40
Yeah.
00:16:40
I would say even more so about that.
00:16:42
I'm gonna I'm gonna give myself a
00:16:43
little kudos right now too.
00:16:43
So the the one thing you said in that was, like, there was another
00:16:43
guy there with you
00:16:52
you know, that pushed you into that 6 6th rep.
00:16:56
And
00:16:56
so this guy started playing lacrosse.
00:16:56
Right?
00:16:56
And a couple weeks ago, Freaking just bottomed
00:16:57
out his hamstring, like ripped up his hamstring.
00:16:57
And so What does this guy do?
00:17:08
Forget everything he's ever been taught.
00:17:09
Like, forgot everything he's ever been taught.
00:17:12
Right?
00:17:12
And everything he's like is everybody else too.
00:17:14
He teaches everybody else.
00:17:16
So I'm like, dude, let's come up with a game plan.
00:17:19
And so I just told him I was like, It's the same way.
00:17:22
Like, this is the kind of the concept of the forever athlete is that, you know, injuries
00:17:27
will come along.
00:17:28
You know, you stop losing weight.
00:17:29
This will come along.
00:17:31
Like, the you're building, like, strength and all this stuff.
00:17:34
You you will stagnate at some point.
00:17:35
You gotta you gotta figure things out.
00:17:38
And so and I'm sure I would be the same way if I get injured.
00:17:41
I'm not injured right now, but this guy forgets everything.
00:17:43
And I'm like, alright.
00:17:44
Let's come over the game's plan.
00:17:45
He gets in the cold plunge.
00:17:46
We order some BPC 157 for him.
00:17:49
We're like, he's he's getting his, soft wave therapy and he was consistent with the process
00:17:55
where a 6 week injury turned into really about a, like, two and a half week where he's getting
00:18:00
in repetitions now again in the gym.
00:18:02
And so I, you know, I do.
00:18:04
I give kudos to myself.
00:18:06
Yeah.
00:18:06
And what it was, I, you know, looking back on it, what it was was pure frustration that just
00:18:11
clouded, like, if we're talking mindset, it clouded everything I knew.
00:18:14
It was like, I couldn't see anything, but about how pissed I was that I just pulled my
00:18:17
hamstring I've been training for the last 2 months to get back into playing
00:18:21
the cross 2 games into
00:18:22
the season, I freaking pulled my hamstring.
00:18:24
I was just so annoyed that I ate.
00:18:26
Yeah.
00:18:26
You're right.
00:18:26
It was just like everything was, like, pushed away.
00:18:29
And so having, you know, having the accountability was awesome.
00:18:31
Like, that's, you know, why we need that that, that that group and those figures around us,
00:18:36
for sure.
00:18:37
A 100%.
00:18:38
You know, I I've there's a saying that a doctor is his own worst patient, and I've seen that
00:18:39
through myself as well.
00:18:39
You know, again, training people I can I tell them, make sure that you progress correctly?
00:18:49
Make sure you don't go up too quickly.
00:18:51
Well, 18 months ago, I decided that I wanna start lifting heavy again.
00:18:55
And, of course, my mind, any and this is a person who literally tells people every single
00:19:00
day of their life.
00:19:02
You're not who you used to be.
00:19:03
You can't go back and immediately jump into the weights that you used to do.
00:19:07
Not that I immediately tried to do those weights because I know how where that bar is,
00:19:12
but let's just say that I moved a little faster than I needed to, and my body got real pissed
00:19:17
real quick.
00:19:18
So I totally can I totally get it?
00:19:20
And as I started to get a chronic overuse engine injuries instead of acute injuries,
00:19:25
which can almost be more debilitating than, you know, those acute injuries could be.
00:19:31
So, again, I get it.
00:19:32
Anybody listening to this?
00:19:34
Like, again, you're listening to humans, be humans.
00:19:36
We are people who literally tell people every day.
00:19:39
Hey.
00:19:39
This is what you need to do.
00:19:40
You need to be smart about things.
00:19:42
You need to be.
00:19:43
And yet, I'm an idiot and I go and do complete opposite of what I tell people to do.
00:19:47
So luckily, I figured that out a little more over the last 6 to 9 months, and I'm I'm
00:19:52
progressing more effectively, but I had to take a step back to take five steps forward.
00:19:57
And and that's human nature.
00:20:00
So to go back to your point, though, of the progression, which this is this is super
00:20:05
important because this is where so many people give up because they don't make progress
00:20:09
because they don't push themselves.
00:20:11
So there's this idea and weight lifting called rate of perceived exertion or rate of perceived
00:20:17
effort, whatever you wanna call it, is generally a scale of 0 to 10, 0 being, it's
00:20:23
super easy, 10 being, it's super hard, and I couldn't do one more rep.
00:20:27
So what most people do And, again, this is through having trained thousands of people and
00:20:32
watching many people, you know, stop whenever they can do more.
00:20:37
Most people get to about a 7, and they stop.
00:20:41
And they don't go past that 7 ever.
00:20:43
They stop at that 7.
00:20:44
So, for instance, if you're doing squats with, like, a £25 k Gobble squats with a £25,
00:20:50
kettlebell, and you do 10 squats and your RPE, meaning how hard it is for you is a 7 once you
00:20:57
get to 10, If you always stop at 10, it will always be a 7.
00:21:02
It will always be the same.
00:21:03
If you never go to that 11th rep, then that 10 will always fill the same.
00:21:10
So the goal is to push to the 11th 12th rep so that that 10 then becomes a 6 or a 5.
00:21:18
It literally starts to feel easier, but most people in their mind tell themselves that that
00:21:23
10 was hard enough, that that 10 was challenging enough.
00:21:27
So literally finding the mental fortitude to push for 2 more reps.
00:21:32
And the and the example you gave 6 more reps, which I believe that most people can get at
00:21:36
least 6 more reps of almost anything that they're attempting, unless your power lifter,
00:21:40
of course, but any average human being get at least 6 more reps of what they're attempting.
00:21:45
And if you just push yourself to 2 or 3 more, then your previous weight that you're using
00:21:52
will be easier, and you will be you will have become more physically and mentally resilient
00:21:56
at the same time.
00:21:58
Do what do you
00:21:58
think about this?
00:21:59
And this is something that I do sometimes is I just don't count.
00:22:02
Like, I tried my hardest to, like, not even count.
00:22:03
Like, I know, realistically, how many reps I can get with a certain amount of weight and,
00:22:08
you know, if it feels light, I'll I'll I'll increase the weight or I'll slow down, right,
00:22:12
on the eccentric.
00:22:13
But sometimes I'm like, just stop counting and go till it it you freaking can't, like, go till
00:22:18
it kinda start to see, you know, so so your form goes or whatever.
00:22:21
Right?
00:22:21
And I almost feel like that sometimes is if I were to be counting, I'd be further along than
00:22:26
than what I probably would have tapped at.
00:22:28
Right?
00:22:29
A 100% for sure because you set that expectation in your mind.
00:22:33
When you set the expectation and I see this with myself and with people, regularly, you set
00:22:38
the expectation, okay, I'm gonna get 10 reps, then you get 10, and it feels hard at 10.
00:22:43
But if you don't set the expectation, if you're just like, okay.
00:22:46
I'm gonna see how many I can get, then it might be 16.
00:22:48
Might be 18.
00:22:49
It could potentially be 20.
00:22:51
So that's actually a brilliant idea.
00:22:53
I like that a lot.
00:22:53
I'll tell you another one that I like a lot that was that we did kinda by accident last
00:22:58
year.
00:22:58
My lifting partner and myself, we got this, we had this big die at the gym that we used during
00:23:04
classes sometimes.
00:23:05
It was, the way we use it in classes, we would have an exercise assigned to a number, and we
00:23:11
would roll the die.
00:23:12
And that's the you would have to do that exercise.
00:23:15
And then I forget how we would pick the number of reps for the exercise.
00:23:18
Anyway, the way that we used it is we knew what exercises we wanted to do, but instead, we
00:23:24
would roll the die, and that would define how many reps we would do.
00:23:27
Sometimes we would do times 1.
00:23:30
So if we rolled a 2, then it would just be a 2.
00:23:32
But sometimes we would do times 2 or times 3.
00:23:35
So if we rolled a 2, it would be either 4 or 6, depending on if we were multiplying it that
00:23:40
day.
00:23:41
And what I found was there were days where I could do the same weight for twice as many reps
00:23:50
as I did the week before.
00:23:51
For instance, if the week before I did 225 for a set of 6 on bench, the following week, I did
00:23:59
225 for a set of 12 on bench but it's only because in my mind, I had never set the
00:24:04
expectation beforehand.
00:24:06
In other words, for most of my training sessions, I'll write out what I'm gonna do.
00:24:09
So I'm though I'm like, hey.
00:24:10
I know I'm gonna do 3 sets of 10 here, and then I'm gonna do 3 sets of 8 here, and so on and so
00:24:14
forth, and then I can play it in my mind.
00:24:17
When I'm rolling the dye, I don't know what I what I need to pick until the dies cast until
00:24:23
it lands on a number.
00:24:24
And then I'm like, okay.
00:24:25
Well, I gotta do 6.
00:24:26
I have no freaking clue because that last set, I just did 12, and it felt easy.
00:24:30
So then I just throw a weight on.
00:24:32
So, literally, you don't give your mind the opportunity to even catch up to the reps.
00:24:37
Does that make sense?
00:24:38
Yeah.
00:24:38
That's it gamifies it.
00:24:40
It does.
00:24:40
I love I love gamifying.
00:24:42
Yeah.
00:24:42
Exactly.
00:24:43
That's kinda fun.
00:24:44
Yeah.
00:24:45
One thing that I I've I've recently started doing is, you know, I always do time under
00:24:51
tension, but I have been doing a lot of drop sets that then just take things to absolute
00:24:57
fatigue.
00:24:58
So I'll drop it by 10, but usually my last set of what I'm whatever I'm doing, it's a drop set
00:25:05
of, like, 4.
00:25:06
And so you're just going to failure on, like, as you drop at £10.
00:25:11
Another thing that I've seen you know, just in the nature of how people work out and they we
00:25:18
we talked about in our podcast, you know, the idea of, like, heart rate, heart rate
00:25:22
variability and and getting that exposure even when you're in a resistance training scenario.
00:25:27
And, Alfie and I do this all the time, but doing where we're just jumping, we're almost
00:25:34
doing a full body circuit at many many times throughout it and just jumping from, you know,
00:25:39
whatever machine we, that we're we're on.
00:25:43
Right?
00:25:44
And I've seen just getting that type of routine doesn't allow you to grab a phone.
00:25:50
I see so many people sitting down.
00:25:52
They're on bench, but they're on bench for 20 minutes Like, you're still on bench.
00:25:56
I just got done with a complete workout.
00:25:58
Yeah.
00:25:58
And you're still on bench.
00:25:59
So really systematizing it where I'm, like, hitting out body parts, but I'm I'm getting my
00:26:05
HRV and it's fluctuating through the entire time.
00:26:07
It does three things.
00:26:08
The one thing is it's time efficient.
00:26:10
Right?
00:26:10
We're both busy on nor's running multiple businesses.
00:26:12
I have an hour probably tops to work out during the day.
00:26:16
Like, that's what all I got, and it's around lunchtime.
00:26:18
So I have to do as much as I can in that hour.
00:26:20
So when you're super setting and you're you're circuit training, it's just more efficient.
00:26:24
2, it's gonna allow you to get that peripheral hard action where you're pushing from the legs
00:26:28
up to the heart, the hardest to work harder.
00:26:29
And, yes, it's like that lower rest is gonna be more fat burning.
00:26:33
Right?
00:26:33
So you're building muscle burning fat at the same time.
00:26:35
So in my opinion, like, doing circuits, even if it is just like supersets is the most I don't
00:26:41
know.
00:26:41
I think it's the best way to train, just, you know, in
00:26:44
at least in what we do.
00:26:46
But
00:26:47
I'd certainly thought.
00:26:48
I mean, at at the gym at Thriveology, that was the way we programmed.
00:26:52
Was essentially not essentially.
00:26:54
It was full body circuit training, whatever you wanted to find it as, but there was always an
00:26:58
upper body and lower body workout, or exercise together in one group.
00:27:03
In another group, it was 3 or 4 exercises, an upper body, lower body, some sort of core
00:27:08
movement and generally a carry or some form of a ab or core kind of exercise.
00:27:14
So, again, I completely agree.
00:27:17
Most people fall into the belief.
00:27:19
You know, walk into the gym and you kinda look at what everyone else does, and everyone else
00:27:23
is doing arms and back and chest.
00:27:27
And they, like you said, they do an exercise, and now and this pisses me off to no end.
00:27:33
Now, like you said, they sit they sit on their phone.
00:27:35
They do an exercise, and then just look down and get on their phone.
00:27:39
And then put their phone down, put their head up, do the exercise, put their head down, get
00:27:43
on their phone.
00:27:44
And I'm like, what the what are you doing?
00:27:47
Like, my mind cannot even grasp how you think that that's training, how you think that that's
00:27:53
getting better.
00:27:54
Now granted, what you're doing is better than sitting at home and doing nothing.
00:27:57
So I will give you that much, and I cannot take that away from anybody And yet, if your
00:28:04
expectations are that you want to train and be better and you think that that is training and
00:28:09
getting better, then
00:28:10
your effort and your expectations are on 2 different levels.
00:28:10
You just have
00:28:10
to be able to do more.
00:28:17
And so many people believe that they don't have time to get in the gym because they think it
00:28:22
needs to look like that, and you can't get a whole lot done when it looks like that.
00:28:26
But you can get a whole lot done when you're training the way that you guys are talking
00:28:29
about going from a push exercise to a pool exercise from a push exercise to a squat
00:28:34
exercise back and forth like that, not only do you get the time efficiency of it, but, I mean,
00:28:41
you guys have already covered, so I don't need to to completely regurgitate what you said, but
00:28:45
it's a 100% true don't just do what everyone else is doing or don't just do what you've
00:28:49
normally done or don't just do because in 1975, when Arnold came over from Australia, he's the
00:28:56
one that started training back and buys and so on and so forth.
00:28:59
So now everyone else does that.
00:29:01
Like, literally, that's where all of that started.
00:29:04
And so it's literally has just grown since then, and everyone thinks that that's the way
00:29:09
that you trained in the weight room, but it's not even the most effective way to grow muscle.
00:29:13
So you you have to be able to see what is useful for you and then put that into play so
00:29:19
that you can actually get something out of the workout that you're doing.
00:29:23
What's also, like, unrealistic expectations, like, the the pro, you know, the the body
00:29:28
building pros are 1, genetic freaks and 2, on all kinds of stuff.
00:29:33
Right?
00:29:33
And so, like, even no amount of steroids, my genetics, I'm never gonna be like that.
00:29:38
Right?
00:29:38
Like, I'll I'll build a ton of muscle my frame is just longer.
00:29:41
It's more athletic.
00:29:42
Right?
00:29:42
So, like, I'll never be that stocky, like, bull shaped dude like Arnold was.
00:29:47
Right?
00:29:47
That's just his genetics.
00:29:48
And so I think people have to you have to kinda understand that.
00:29:51
But also, it's steroids do a
00:29:53
lot, though.
00:29:53
Steroids do a lot.
00:29:56
A hell of a drug, but I think Chris Cavalini would have a field day with this because most
00:29:59
people are not going to the gym with the mindset that we all do.
00:30:03
Right?
00:30:03
Like, to, like, I wanna, like, optimize myself or I wanna get as as best results as I can.
00:30:08
They're going because they're like, I know it's good for me.
00:30:10
I gotta go to GM.
00:30:12
Yeah.
00:30:12
They're checking boxes, man.
00:30:14
They're like, I I
00:30:14
you know, the doctor said I should work out
00:30:16
3 days a week.
00:30:16
So here I am.
00:30:17
Right?
00:30:17
But, like, it's not it's not necessarily because they are trying to enhance their life.
00:30:22
Right?
00:30:23
They just know it's something that they gotta do.
00:30:25
Right?
00:30:25
Which again is better than nothing, but, you know, like, that's just that mentality of,
00:30:29
like, being average.
00:30:30
That and that's I don't know.
00:30:32
I think that's pretty kind of kind of weak.
00:30:34
I was working out.
00:30:35
You'd talk about, like, body frames too.
00:30:37
Like, I of I think my, you know, the as far as what my frame can probably hold organically,
00:30:43
and it's probably honestly, we have very similar body types, but, probably in the 210 to
00:30:49
215 rain is what I'd like likely can max out at and feel really good, you know, really solid
00:30:54
cardiovascular shape and have a solid muscular structure.
00:30:58
But I was working out with my buddy, so he played for the Kansas City Chiefs.
00:31:03
And we had talked about box checkers.
00:31:05
So he has, like, a little core group of guys that we meet up with, when I go back to
00:31:09
Michigan.
00:31:09
And so I was working out with him, and he has hyper focused workouts now too.
00:31:13
He works.
00:31:14
So we get in the gym, and there was a guy that we see that came in.
00:31:18
And he's like, You know, hey, guys.
00:31:20
He's like, he's wanting in the pack.
00:31:22
Right?
00:31:23
But you can't get in the pack.
00:31:25
You get
00:31:25
just to get in the pack.
00:31:27
And, so, anyways, he comes in and we're we're ripping through our workouts.
00:31:32
So it's a lot of supersets with him.
00:31:34
So we're just super setting everything.
00:31:36
And then we're going over to the next machine.
00:31:38
And I I'm watching him, and it I'm like, the I actually said something to my wife about it.
00:31:44
I'm like, dude, that is such like a box checker mentality because he came in for 20 minutes And
00:31:49
he's he's a big guy now.
00:31:51
I actually went to college with him, so he's not listed as.
00:31:55
But he, he comes in and he, like, he does triceps, hangs out on his phone for a little
00:32:03
bit, tricep hold downs and then did a few other things.
00:32:05
And the next thing we know, we're in the middle of our workout.
00:32:08
He's like, see you guys on Wednesday.
00:32:10
It's like, what?
00:32:12
Like, you were here for 20 minutes.
00:32:14
Like, what did you possibly do?
00:32:15
So It was it that that is, like, that box checker mentality is a lot of people just don't
00:32:21
come in with the proper planning.
00:32:23
That's what I love about, like, what you were doing at Thrivology and building the community
00:32:28
and the pack around it is, like, when they're stepping into it, they're stepping in, hey,
00:32:34
with the mindset, and maybe wake up at waking up in the morning or and I'm doing an afternoon
00:32:38
class.
00:32:39
And those are my people that aren't counting on me, but they're counting on me at the same
00:32:44
time.
00:32:45
So I love the idea of, of just the good wolf and the pack mentality that you created there
00:32:50
and you're continually creating, but talk to us a little bit about the good wolf Academy, what
00:32:56
you have in kind of future and in store for that.
00:32:59
As well as the podcast.
00:33:01
Yeah.
00:33:01
So like I said with the, well, let me back up because I'm it's gonna be stuck in the back of
00:33:07
my mind.
00:33:07
And unless I get it out, it's just gonna kinda sit there.
00:33:09
No.
00:33:09
There it is.
00:33:11
No.
00:33:11
I completely agree.
00:33:12
I think what you need to ask yourself is what do you wanna get out of your time in the gym?
00:33:16
And that's the most important question.
00:33:17
And if your if your answer is, hey.
00:33:19
I just wanna go and check boxes, then cool.
00:33:21
Great.
00:33:21
Like, by no means am I gonna judge you?
00:33:24
Because, again, you're it's better than sitting at home and doing nothing.
00:33:28
A 100%.
00:33:28
That's always gonna be the answer.
00:33:30
But if your answer is, you know, I'm hoping to get some results out of it, then you need to
00:33:35
you need to go in with different expectations of your effort, and you need to constantly be
00:33:40
checking your effort.
00:33:41
So I think it's just
00:33:42
important to ask yourself constantly is my effort matching matching the expectations that
00:33:42
I have of my efforts in the gym of what I wanna get out
00:33:42
of the gym.
00:33:42
And that's that's just, I think, a very important question constantly ask yourself.
00:33:57
So, but to go back to your question, I knew that once I got out of Thryvology, once that
00:34:03
was out out of the way, I don't mean out of the way in a in goodness way, but, you know, once I
00:34:08
moved on and, and stayed with the the podcast and everything.
00:34:12
I know that I wanna build off of the podcast.
00:34:13
So my goal is con continuously build the brand and off of the brand is a personal development,
00:34:23
e learning platform and coaching platform, GoToF Academy, that helps people in many
00:34:28
different, layers, if you will.
00:34:30
Right now, it's just me literally individualize coaching with people, individualized packages
00:34:36
that help them build their mental resilience and their physical resilience together, but
00:34:40
it'll expand out into other things that I'm,
00:34:40
you know, I'm currently building a project that I'll be launching hopefully in 2
00:34:41
weeks by the end of the month.
00:34:50
Which I'm super excited about.
00:34:51
It's just a basic productivity project, which sounds basic, but most people have trouble with
00:34:57
their time.
00:34:57
That's the number one excuse that most people have is, oh, I don't have the time with things.
00:35:01
So if you can literally figure out where to find time, and everyone can do it no matter if
00:35:05
you have 7 kids, which one of our members at the gym, literally had 7 children, and she
00:35:10
would come to the gym 3 days a week.
00:35:11
Their kids were all homeschooled as well.
00:35:14
So, if she can homeschool 7 killed kids and she can come to the gym 3 days a week, I don't
00:35:20
think that many of us can have a an excuse, even us entrepreneurs.
00:35:24
I don't have any kids, but, again, I looked at her and I'm like, girl, I just I wanna bow at
00:35:29
your feet every time you walk in the door.
00:35:30
But any rate, productivity is just one thing a lot of us could get much better at.
00:35:35
So I'm building something for that to help people get out of their own way so that they
00:35:39
can start to implement the things in their life that they want.
00:35:42
So, you know, I have this vision of just a couple of different brands built off of the
00:35:46
podcast, and I know it's gonna take time.
00:35:50
So patience is something that I have been building in myself over these last 6 to 9
00:35:56
months as, as that progresses.
00:35:58
But right now, it's just trying to get as many eyes on on on eyes and ears on the content as
00:36:06
possible.
00:36:07
And, and that's where it's at, brother.
00:36:10
That's awesome.
00:36:10
Yeah.
00:36:11
I would I would love to to absorb some of that info too on that productivity thing you're on.
00:36:15
So keep me posted on
00:36:16
that.
00:36:16
Sure.
00:36:17
Because that's, man, I, like, ADHD is, like, the one thing that I I have to use as a power
00:36:21
versus, like, let it, like, hold me back, but it's like, I gotta be time regimented all day
00:36:26
long, or else, like, I'm doing nothing.
00:36:28
Like, my brain is like chasing butterflies, you know.
00:36:31
So, I love that man, and and I think a lot of people will benefit from that.
00:36:34
That's awesome.
00:36:36
Yeah.
00:36:37
It's definitely something that, like I said, considering we
00:36:39
have literally thousands of things thrown at
00:36:39
us throughout the day, We have so many opportunities to pay attention to other things.
00:36:47
And our attention is being literally pulled in a 1000 different directions at any moment.
00:36:52
We have to say
00:36:53
no to a million things in one moment at a time.
00:36:53
We can only do one thing at a time, so we literally have to teach ourselves to say no to
00:37:00
things, and it starts by, I think we talked about this as well, taking off the brakes.
00:37:05
And that means letting go of some things and just saying, hey.
00:37:08
These are just things that I'm just either never gonna pay attention to or for now, I'm
00:37:11
not gonna pay attention to.
00:37:13
So that I can focus on the things that I say are important to me.
00:37:17
I think saying no is huge.
00:37:18
You know, we've talked about that all the time.
00:37:20
It's like, I used to over commit, just wanna please everybody, do all these things, say yes,
00:37:25
yes, yes, and you just it's not that's not healthy, man.
00:37:28
You end up over committing to too many things.
00:37:30
So saying no is superpower.
00:37:32
And then just being dialed in on the main things.
00:37:34
Right?
00:37:34
Like, what are the top 3 to 5, like, tasks, right, that you gotta knock out?
00:37:38
So,
00:37:39
yeah.
00:37:39
Yeah.
00:37:39
I actually mentioned something on, on my Facebook feed the other day of some question
00:37:44
you asked me.
00:37:45
And then, you know, what do I say no to?
00:37:47
And I had mentioned that I say no to alcohol now, and it's just not something that I have in
00:37:52
my repertoire.
00:37:53
You should have seen the comments on I need that.
00:37:56
Which is like me too.
00:37:57
Me too.
00:37:59
One guy's like, I gave him cocaine in 1990.
00:38:02
People never do cocaine.
00:38:05
So That's right.
00:38:06
Good.
00:38:06
So funny.
00:38:07
So funny ones too, but as we wrap this up, you know, I always wanna, you know, leave our
00:38:13
listeners with something to think about.
00:38:15
Obviously, you were focusing on the mindset piece, the physicality piece as well, but know,
00:38:22
what advice would you give someone who is just starting their personal development journey,
00:38:26
and maybe feels a little bit overwhelmed right now?
00:38:30
Oh, that's a tough one.
00:38:32
Here's what here's what I'll say.
00:38:35
Anytime you see a Norman society question it.
00:38:40
When you see people that are unhealthy and you're like, oh, well, everyone's unhealthy,
00:38:44
question it.
00:38:45
Is it normal to be unhealthy, or is it just that it is the Norman Society?
00:38:49
When people tell you that doing and running your own business is hard and risky, and
00:38:55
there's a high likelihood that you'll fail.
00:38:57
And you look around and everyone else's unhappy and unfulfilled, and and they're all living you
00:39:04
know, working at a corporate job, working in a place where they complain about their work all
00:39:09
day long, you go, well, is that normal?
00:39:12
Is that something that I have to do?
00:39:14
So I would say it's literally just starting to question things.
00:39:17
Starting to question not only what other people are saying and doing, but also some of the
00:39:22
things that you believe because we're all, we all have beliefs built into us, some sometimes
00:39:29
buyer you know, other people around us, actually always buy other people around us, but
00:39:33
mostly it comes from our parents.
00:39:35
And even though our parents love us and care about us and they want what's best for us, it
00:39:39
doesn't mean that they have done things in the best and the most effective way possible.
00:39:46
So you have to question also the beliefs that they built into you about how the world works
00:39:50
and what you're capable of.
00:39:51
So I think it just starts with that questioning your thoughts and questioning what people the
00:39:58
outcomes of other people's lives.
00:40:01
That's gold.
00:40:02
That is gold.
00:40:02
Yeah.
00:40:03
That is so good.
00:40:04
You know, I was listening to something on Ed might let, just recently.
00:40:08
He had mentioned something about this and that we do have to really understand and look at a
00:40:14
level, you know, sometimes a level of curiosity.
00:40:16
I I had to look at it from my parent's standpoint of, like, what what is it?
00:40:20
What does success look like?
00:40:22
Right?
00:40:22
And so as I perceive the world around me, when a parent says you can be whatever you wanna be
00:40:28
because we tell that to our kids.
00:40:29
Right?
00:40:30
You can be whatever you wanna be.
00:40:31
Right?
00:40:32
You are the world's greatest.
00:40:33
And then but, like, but mom, dad, like, you you did are you Are are you happy?
00:40:39
Are you doing what you wanna be?
00:40:42
And, you know, in the definition of the world I success, I had, like, I had to look back.
00:40:46
I reflected this morning on the way over here to this podcast of, like, My actually my
00:40:51
parents did a pretty darn good job because I honestly could say that, like, my dad, my dad
00:40:57
lived out his dream.
00:40:57
Yeah.
00:40:58
He was a school teacher.
00:40:59
They didn't make a ton of money.
00:41:00
We were a very middle class family.
00:41:02
My mom was, like, a Christian school education teacher.
00:41:05
She was reading specialist.
00:41:07
She taught kids how to read that completely changed their life.
00:41:10
And my dad was a high school teacher that, like, was a basketball coach for 40 years.
00:41:15
That's what he absolutely loved and, like, what made him happy.
00:41:19
And I was like, at there's different versions of success.
00:41:22
Right?
00:41:22
We wanna always put, like, a dollar amount on it.
00:41:25
We were a middle class family, but if I had to look back, I'm like, man, yeah, my parents were
00:41:29
happy and they were doing what they actually wanted to do.
00:41:33
And it just, like, in the perception of the world, it was like, man, they didn't get to
00:41:37
that pinnacle of success per se.
00:41:40
But I was like, thank you god.
00:41:41
Like, I was like, thank you.
00:41:42
Thank you for putting those parents in my life that actually showed success and did what they
00:41:47
wanted to do, right, for you know, 30 40 years of school teaching and a basketball coaching.
00:41:51
So that was something that I had to reflect.
00:41:54
And I know everyone doesn't get that, but sometimes you gotta, you know, contrast that
00:41:58
of, hey.
00:41:59
Look.
00:41:59
Exactly what you're saying.
00:42:00
Like, I'm gonna you know, mom, dad, are you truly I gotta figure this out myself.
00:42:07
Most definitely.
00:42:08
And I like I love that.
00:42:10
That's a great example, by the way, because, I mean, every every definition of success is
00:42:16
different.
00:42:16
And I think Again, we take on other people's definitions of success for good and for bad.
00:42:24
For good because, you know, we look at a number amount and we're like, while a number amount
00:42:30
can be useful because you can do more things with more money, which is definitely true.
00:42:35
And at to a an extent, it can make you more fulfilled to an extent if you use it correctly.
00:42:41
But do you have to do that?
00:42:42
Well, no.
00:42:43
Of course not.
00:42:44
If teaching is what you're passionate about, then be a great teacher.
00:42:48
If helping kids read is what you're passionate about, then help kids read to the best of your
00:42:52
ability in by all means, that will bring you fulfillment.
00:42:55
That will bring you happiness.
00:42:56
The point is just to question, just to ask.
00:42:59
What is it?
00:43:00
What is the thing that makes me happy and what does success look like to me?
00:43:05
Love that.
00:43:06
And and kind of going back to what you had said about the whole, like, normal thing.
00:43:09
Right?
00:43:09
It's like, I I tell patients this all the time and they're like, oh, you know, I think I'm
00:43:13
just getting old.
00:43:13
It's normal to have this joint pain or, oh, you're gonna get fat.
00:43:16
It's normal.
00:43:17
It's like,
00:43:17
no.
00:43:18
It's not normal.
00:43:18
It's common.
00:43:19
It's very common.
00:43:20
But that doesn't mean it's normal physiologically.
00:43:22
Right?
00:43:22
That is not how humans should age.
00:43:24
So just to leave everybody with that.
00:43:27
I'm gonna ask you one
00:43:27
more question, man, and we ask all our guests.
00:43:30
You know, our podcast is called full fueled.
00:43:32
We talk about living a full fueled life.
00:43:34
What does that look like to you, man?
00:43:36
I think it is being your best physically while reaching a level of fulfillment that most
00:43:45
people aren't able to reach in their life.
00:43:49
How do you build your best from
00:43:51
a physical standpoint, which I believe is the foundation of the rest of it?
00:43:51
If you build your foundation, if you build your physical foundation, then you
00:43:51
can then take that and transfer that into other areas of your your life.
00:44:03
Because like we talked about at the beginning of this, physical is the best way to build
00:44:08
mental resilience.
00:44:08
It's the best way to build mental belief in yourself, self confidence, self belief, self
00:44:08
respect, and all of those things which then transfers into all areas of your life.
00:44:19
So build that foundation and then let that dissipate out into all the other areas of your
00:44:24
life.
00:44:25
And there's a very damn good chance that you'll find that level of film that that you're
00:44:29
looking for.
00:44:30
Hey, man.
00:44:31
That's beautiful.
00:44:32
That was beautiful.
00:44:32
