Hello and welcome to choose of Fi today
0:02
in the shall we have a fun one
0:04
For a long time now I've actually wanted
0:06
to change up the format of the podcast
0:09
a Little Bed and this episode is the
0:11
first foray into that you hopefully can expect
0:13
actually more episodes and the futures are not
0:15
just the one a week and many of
0:18
them will be much more timely. So I'm
0:20
just sitting down to record and we basically
0:22
published a think More or Less right away.
0:25
Where. We have a whole
0:27
host of things, right. It could be
0:29
a specific update episode on something I've
0:31
talked about in the past, or just
0:33
one particular segment with someone talking about
0:36
i don't know he bikes or a
0:38
fi projection software or maybe another episode
0:40
on follow up questions to an episode
0:42
we did bike with So Security or
0:45
and episode with Sean Malini about taking
0:47
your money out before fifty nine and
0:49
a half. So I think this is
0:51
really going to add to the jews
0:53
of a podcast significantly. And I
0:56
also honestly think publishing this particular episode
0:58
will embolden me to do a lot
1:00
more of these episodes were just sit
1:02
down, record and publish a shorter episode
1:04
on a random Friday. so definitely stay
1:07
tuned. Tidies obtain is actually on health
1:09
and fitness and this is part one
1:11
of hopefully many more on this particular
1:13
topic, which I think is really critical
1:16
to all of us not only pursuing
1:18
for her, but just anyone trying to
1:20
live a better life. And that's really
1:22
one of the secret sauce is behind
1:25
what. We're doing here. We're not just
1:27
working on money, we're working on living
1:29
a better life. So I had mentioned a
1:31
while back after having Dominic were Tucci.
1:33
Oh, on the podcast in episode for nineteen
1:35
where he talked about your bold move for
1:37
Twenty Twenty Three that Twenty Twenty Three
1:39
was going to be my healthiest year ever.
1:42
And it's been a long winding journey
1:44
and I've learned a lot of things that
1:46
I really learned a lot about fitness,
1:48
muscle building, and strength building. And even though
1:50
for years I was a member of Cross
1:53
Fit and I've been healthy for probably
1:55
the better part of a decade now and
1:57
quite for head this has, I think
1:59
I'm quite. Actually been my city sheer
2:01
ever and I actually have my friend
2:03
and personal trainer Dean terminal here to
2:05
join me to talk about will be
2:07
done together building strength and muscle and
2:10
will maybe dive into some aspects of
2:12
health and nutrition outside of that, but
2:14
that's certainly will be in that parts
2:16
to and beyond so I think you're
2:18
going to enjoy this and with that
2:20
welcome to the fight. Scenes:
2:29
Thank you so much your been her. This
2:31
can be fun Brad Absolutely thank you for
2:33
having me happy to be here! Yeah so
2:35
okay like I said up on the front
2:37
side. I talked about my
2:39
bold move being my se year
2:42
ever and. That. Is
2:44
a large undertaking to put it mildly
2:46
and it could have went. Any
2:48
which way and I think I thought I
2:51
would I would commit dabble. and in
2:53
fairness I I did double a little bit
2:55
of yeah I think you can probably
2:57
ya dig up dozens of twitter dm for
2:59
me about D and I'm going to my
3:02
Dns doctor today or I have this
3:04
my oh festival release thing going out. Whatever
3:06
it is just the on kind of
3:08
making it up now but. I. Have
3:10
been dabbling with been the ever
3:12
present for Twenty Twenty Three And
3:14
now into Twenty Twenty Four is
3:16
you. And the training regimen that
3:19
you've happy on an icy sounds you
3:21
on twitter. So I was just randomly
3:23
they have like I normally do. kind
3:25
of just start working on twitter. I
3:27
don't post too often I've probably unfortunately
3:30
rights or Virginia Mr. I yeah there
3:32
was a time I I need to
3:34
get back into it I i think
3:36
my on my lurking they are just
3:38
assess it's too much fun but. I
3:41
sound you and I found a couple
3:43
of other guys who obviously there are
3:45
lots of fitness people on twitter and
3:47
you can kind of go down rabbit
3:49
holes. By. I found
3:51
this group of guys who were talking
3:53
about muscle building his building in a
3:55
really different way and it was something
3:58
about it that just intrigued me. It
4:00
seemed like and and I don't mean
4:02
it exactly this way, but it almost
4:04
seemed like the eighty twenty analysis of
4:07
muscle and strength building. And that's not
4:09
to say it's sub optimal because I
4:11
think you would probably argue. and I
4:14
would argue it's been the most optimal
4:16
weight to build muscle. But I viewed
4:18
it as I from a a quick
4:21
glance as oh wow, You mean most
4:23
people are going to the gym and
4:25
just killing themselves. They're working nonstop for
4:27
ninety minutes, never taking a second. Whereas
4:30
when your gym expanses is basically
4:32
a long walk punctuated by maybe
4:34
fifteen minutes of exercise pretty hot
4:36
hand or ahead and make the
4:38
hatches intrigue me. And if anybody
4:40
goes to your Twitter which is at
4:42
Dean T training and of course
4:44
will have been in the soon
4:46
as. They. Can see that does your
4:48
muscle building is going just okay sir how
4:51
hard you hit you obviously have been doing
4:53
pretty well for yourself and yet this just
4:55
and treatment so I'm gonna throw it's you.
4:57
Just give me a high level overview give
4:59
the audience I love overview of what we're
5:02
doing together. So. I feel
5:04
like the one thing that we've done really
5:06
really well as consistency. Right consistency. The here
5:08
as are probably at the top of like
5:10
the food chain in terms of things that
5:12
you need to get right. Another thing
5:14
that were getting really right. Is
5:16
kind of the style of training and
5:18
accordance with your goal. So your goal
5:21
is obviously to build muscle you know
5:23
be fair and a general sense and
5:25
I feel like we've really got a
5:27
honed in on that from a training
5:29
style perspective. In our we take the
5:31
rest between sets right or exercise selection
5:33
is really high quality. We take sets
5:35
to the appropriate relative intensity which is
5:38
usually close and proximity to failure which
5:40
rain each body part relatively frequently. He
5:42
our usually twice per week on average
5:44
maybe not super directly, but at least
5:46
indirectly. We get enough rest so we
5:48
eat our protein, we eat enough calories and
5:50
our while off. the magic that happens. So
5:53
that's what we've done really really well. There
5:55
hasn't been a lot of pitfalls of along
5:57
the way and I think it's because we've
5:59
been really. That up for success because the
6:01
expectations weren't like overly lofty which you talked
6:03
about. People go in a jam, they kill
6:05
themselves, they're would think more more more and
6:07
I think one of the things that maybe
6:10
drew you to me and draws people to
6:12
me on twitter as I'm telling people whoa,
6:14
chill out. You know more is better to
6:16
a point right? But it's not. You don't
6:18
want to just joined the gym. kill yourself.
6:20
Recovery is a huge huge huge thing, that
6:22
something you really need to hone in on
6:24
if we're going to be successful. At least
6:26
with muscle building her perch the were going
6:28
on. Or. Yeah that guy like that
6:31
overview of what we've done really well
6:33
and like I said no real pitfalls
6:35
and last year so yeah it's been
6:37
amazing. It really has and I think
6:39
when I kind of said the the
6:41
each when he announces I think what
6:43
I mean is it just seems like
6:45
a smarter approach and I think that's
6:47
what intrigued me. I'm always looking for
6:49
almost like fi five week to me
6:51
a superpower. It's a secret to you
6:53
missed and your training style seemed like
6:55
a secret to the universe and in
6:57
I have seen since you this article.
7:00
Pipe and a month ago this was
7:02
men's Health, which from her people, that's
7:04
kind of like one of the preeminent
7:06
sources of information from Sydney. Switch for
7:09
better for worse. and they had an
7:11
article called the New Science of Muscle
7:13
an interesting way he was. Honestly, we
7:15
like reading your Twitter who was as
7:17
if they went to your twitter accounts
7:20
and just highlighted the absolute best to
7:22
the bass. and it was really something
7:24
that a lot of people don't think
7:26
about. It was about giving yourself a
7:29
rest and. I think that's one of
7:31
the hallmarks of the train the we're doing is.
7:33
When. I. Finished is
7:35
set. And. Like you said be
7:37
censoring since they're not just like oh I'm
7:39
stopping at a number right? I think so
7:41
many people go in and he just randomly
7:43
pick a we the randomly say in their
7:45
head hand going to do twelve raps and
7:47
you get to the end of a twelve
7:50
refs and they just stop. And there's
7:52
no rhyme or reason tonight. it's not like
7:54
anything happened at the end of the twelfth
7:56
wrap to make them stop the could have
7:58
maybe done city and they. It may
8:00
be done twenty five, but they just
8:02
stopped because that's the number and I
8:04
think what we've done is say you
8:06
have to get pretty darn close to
8:08
failure on each set. And now, naturally,
8:11
like you caviar, it certainly is. It
8:13
depends on your goals. It depends on
8:15
where you are in your training of
8:17
course, By. For least
8:19
the last six months, I've been
8:21
getting pretty close to technical failure.
8:23
So basically I stop. When.
8:26
My last wrap. Has. Slowed
8:28
down to a point where I
8:30
can not adequately complete the next
8:32
repetition with Perfect or Pristine as
8:34
you'd call it form they needed
8:36
to quote the Sarah that last
8:38
rap. I mean, it's very obvious
8:40
Dean when I stop myself, I'm
8:42
at the end and basically I'd
8:44
as we called zero reps in
8:46
reserve and then you have to
8:48
rest and there was no world
8:50
where you can come back and
8:52
do another Said thirty seconds later.
8:54
It's impossible. So I literally turn
8:56
my clock on. My phone set a
8:58
timer to town up and when I get
9:01
to three minutes as he absolute bare minimum
9:03
then I start figuring out do I wanna
9:05
go back and do my next set or
9:07
do I need a little more Best or
9:09
so I'd and I want you to talk
9:11
about that in a minute. Purchased real quip
9:14
from his mental thing so it's give you
9:16
some arrest. They say two to three minutes.
9:18
I think we say three minutes minimum. Embrace
9:20
machines. Now this is really surprising for lot
9:22
of people who have heard barbell. Barbell Barbell
9:25
and and another caviar is to say you
9:27
and I. Are not arguing that every
9:29
other stuff health and fitness is bad.
9:31
Like we're not waiting in to any
9:33
of these religious wars of fitness or
9:36
nutrition or anything. Not at all. Which
9:38
is saying this type of training works
9:40
such really well for us and what
9:43
our goals are so clearly. Barbells are
9:45
fantastic fight to build precise muscle. And
9:48
target though as precise muscles using
9:50
the machines that are built to
9:52
specifically target that muscle mix a
9:54
lot of sense ahead so that
9:56
was kind of cool. And then
9:58
they talk about essentially to. Running
10:00
down the volume which I think it's kind
10:02
of another way of saying like you need
10:04
to be really judicious with what you're doing.
10:06
It's not just going in there and just
10:08
working like a madman for an hour hour
10:11
and half and stopping. and because you get
10:13
sweaty you think you did something positive results.
10:15
So it was really cool to see that
10:17
a men's health article. I think of how
10:19
you open a lot of eyes and yeah,
10:21
I want to throw it over to you
10:24
to talk about some of those things. So
10:26
the rest. the machines daggers those two things
10:28
with every those are kind of counter. To
10:30
wed a lot of people think and believe. Yeah.
10:33
Absolutely. I mean. With. The men's health
10:35
article you submit subway interesting that that stuff is
10:37
kind of finally hitting the mainstream now, but I
10:40
think it's cause the mainstream plain old of at
10:42
a catch up. He. Out people get
10:44
routed and get trapped in dogma, right?
10:46
This is an exercise base feel case.
10:48
It's one flawed theory after another survey.
10:50
So you have researchers you'll have bro
10:52
is in a jam you'll have for
10:54
the schedule like myself and they'll have
10:56
certain hypotheses about what build muscle or
10:58
what build strength or whatever, right? Leno
11:00
Going to jam at a lab or
11:02
whatever and I'll test that and then
11:04
over and over and over again. They
11:06
try to find out what actually works,
11:08
what actually doesn't work, And then
11:10
it takes a little bit a time when
11:13
one of those theories gets debunked for it
11:15
actually to get into the mainstream. So it
11:17
was thought for a long time that sorta
11:19
rest periods where more advantageous for hypertrophy, for
11:21
example, as you kind of touched on. But.
11:24
The researchers really thought that was due
11:26
to metabolic stress, so they basically thought that
11:28
metabolites summation which is basically like that
11:30
burning sensation you get when you're training and
11:33
a kind of the palm thick. it's
11:35
usually accompanied by that that was a direct
11:37
influence that had a direct influence on
11:39
muscle growth. By. Really? Overtime, they got
11:41
a found out hey, that's not actually
11:44
the case. It's coral. If so, it's
11:46
correlation or causation classic. But it doesn't
11:48
actually cause muscle growth directly. So.
11:50
It's come out in the researchers may have
11:53
become more and more avenue overtime that the
11:55
primary driver hypertrophy his mechanical tension. It's really
11:57
the only known driver and all the literature.
12:00
This boy, everything else again is just
12:02
at best. Loosely Korolev. So. All
12:04
our focus with the goal being hyper
12:06
to be the primary goal being hypertrophy
12:09
is centered around how can we evoke
12:11
sufficient mechanical tension in the target musculature?
12:14
And. That's where you comes to machines and
12:16
where it comes to rest times and
12:18
all that stuff. So with the machines
12:20
the way that I was kind of
12:22
tell people this compared to for hypertrophy
12:24
and again like you said, like the
12:26
java you said or not waging a
12:28
religious war here against the barbell ever
12:30
bought up with machines right? they're very
12:32
specific to the task that we're trying
12:34
to accomplish says that we're trying to
12:36
do which is again evoke sufficient mcconnell
12:38
depends in part in us you're so
12:40
for example, if you were to compare
12:42
like a flat barbell. Bench Press with
12:45
a flat machine Press Right Flat
12:47
Barbell Bench press has a higher
12:49
coordination demands. It has less external
12:51
stability. You're probably more reliant on
12:53
some ancillary musculature. Where's with the
12:55
flat machine press? You know, lower
12:57
coronation demand, higher external stability. Obviously
12:59
it moves in assists pattern, lower
13:01
reliance on ancillary Moscow's yourself. What
13:03
happens is when you go to
13:05
produce any kind of force right
13:07
or do any movement in your
13:09
everyday life, you get a signal
13:12
from the brain. so signal for.
13:14
The motor cortex and if you just think of
13:16
it and units right? So if you get out
13:18
signal the size of one hundred units guy on
13:20
that one hundred units gets kind of sent down.
13:23
To. The working muscle or to the
13:25
working muscles that are to be doing
13:27
the movement during the exercise with a
13:29
barbell bench press because there's a higher
13:31
coronation demand or that a higher reliance
13:34
on and sorry musculature lower after instability,
13:36
which means you have the internally stabilize,
13:38
you might only get of those hundred
13:40
available units, Seventy of them might go
13:42
to the target musculature, whereas with the
13:44
flat machine press because of the lower
13:47
alliance on insular musculature, the lower coordination
13:49
demand higher external stability The present you
13:51
might get ninety or ninety five. Of
13:53
those units, right seemed are going to
13:55
evoke more mechanical tension, right? You're going
13:57
to get a sufficient mechanical tension stimulus.
14:00
The target musculature in a more efficient and effective
14:02
manner. and all in all it's just gonna go
14:04
better for that the goal with more in line
14:06
with the go. Anemone. Talk about the
14:08
rest times right? If you don't allow for
14:10
appropriate time between sets so you It's funny
14:12
you mentioned others know universe where you could
14:15
do a certain and do another one thirty
14:17
seconds later. V or Hall while Brad there
14:19
is a university to do that was left
14:21
that wouldn't be very productive right? Much ado.
14:23
One room Yeah. exactly. The reason it would
14:26
be very productive is because you have to
14:28
forms of fifty your peripheral fatigue and central
14:30
nervous as of the. Of round and
14:32
you to. This is very consistent the literature when you
14:34
kind of split up the study that showed ninety seconds
14:37
for us or last and under two minutes or more.
14:39
Studies. Basically, there's something that happens
14:41
that about the Ninety Two, One Hundred and
14:44
Twenty Second is. Marks were so like I
14:46
talked about within metabolites earlier, there's a lot
14:48
of metabolite clearing, so that kind of
14:50
burning sensation the pump that you get from
14:53
an initial set a kind of dies down
14:55
a little bit new. A real lasting
14:57
fatigue after that, at least in the near
14:59
term, is Central Nervous System Physique. And
15:01
that will try to start to wane
15:03
as the minutes go on. So once
15:05
the seen as witty dissipates and wants
15:07
the metabolites clear and some of that
15:09
forever of which he'd go by the
15:12
wayside, your kind of ready to do
15:14
the next that again and it will
15:16
be as efficient as effective as it
15:18
can be. Given that some fatigue is
15:20
still present though you've allowed to dissipate
15:22
to the necessary to that. It's important
15:24
note near piggybacking here. Basically the first
15:26
set you do is the most productive
15:28
set you're going to do for the
15:30
day, because after that. Fatigues, Asean, and
15:32
each set after is just marginally less productive.
15:34
And then you get to the point where
15:36
there's probably so much fatigue accrued that any
15:38
further sets that you do aren't really gonna
15:40
do a whole bunch other than add more
15:42
fatigued. It's gonna take you longer to recover
15:45
before the next session, so that's where the
15:47
kind of the total volume. We need to
15:49
limit that in a way because when you
15:51
go to build a great for the or
15:53
even even go to enhance your strength, nobody
15:55
builds agree. Physique him once s for I
15:57
Nobody gets stronger in one session you get
15:59
dry. You're when you do successive, really
16:01
solid training sessions many in a row. For
16:04
weeks, months, years, decades. That's how you get
16:06
a lot bigger that are, you get a
16:08
lot stronger. So with one session, we just
16:10
want to do enough to evoke. yeah, me,
16:13
Fargo was hypertrophy, evokes official mechanical tension, and
16:15
then it's like, get out before we induced
16:17
too much muscle damage. Too much for t
16:19
that gonna take time to clear out before
16:22
we can put together another productive training. about
16:24
two or three days or or four days
16:26
later, wherever. So. That's kind of the
16:28
general gist of our what we do I
16:30
know I got a little bit technical there.
16:32
hopefully I didn't lose your audience know how
16:34
to answer that question of for the men's
16:37
health as seemingly finally picked up on what
16:39
some of us who are really in our
16:41
in this nice really dedicated so if it's
16:43
I birch resist basically my my loan specialty
16:45
in this nice nine or some other things
16:47
but that's my a major specialty and it's
16:49
good that mentality. no big publication like you
16:51
said for better or for worse as picking
16:53
up on there so that the masses can
16:56
get quality information and they're not. Being older,
16:58
missing from anymore like the short rest times
17:00
and only barbell all the time and all
17:02
that. Yeah. I'm
17:04
I'm in and zoom right hypertrophy. For
17:07
people who are in and the know
17:09
that's essentially muscle building, muscle grows sort
17:11
of, it's It's a very fancy way
17:13
of saying that nothing more, nothing less.
17:15
One other thing that we do is
17:17
basically I'm working of four times a
17:20
week, some doing basically chew upper bodies
17:22
and to lower body and I'm more
17:24
or less taking a minimum of two
17:26
full calendar days of rest between my
17:28
upper bodies and in between my lower
17:30
body does the we the to out.
17:33
I think it's to dress and treated
17:35
something like that but not like seventy
17:37
one hours on one side and ninety
17:39
four Ninety five hours on the other
17:41
side is assuming work out the same
17:43
time which isn't always the case of
17:46
basically three days like of twenty four
17:48
hours time and and ninety six on
17:50
the other between uppers and uppers and
17:52
lowers and lowers exactly. And I mean
17:54
it's there's never been a time where
17:56
I've been so or who are can't
17:59
go were and. So like beat down.
18:01
Very nice of. you See, there are times
18:03
in a year where I'm a little bit
18:05
sick or something. I mean obviously I'm a
18:08
human being. things happen, but it's never been
18:10
like this is just crushed me even though
18:12
I mean didn't one of the cool things
18:14
and that's why we're doing this update as
18:17
like and in the amount of growth that
18:19
I've seen both in terms of of strength,
18:21
just pure strength and just visually. at least
18:24
my muscle growth has been crazy like when
18:26
I went to. If it's funny when I
18:28
went to fend time. I saw
18:30
my buddy Nathan Berry who is the founder
18:32
of Convert Kid and he looked him. He's
18:35
like have you always look like ah this
18:37
am aware how bad sad that the pretty
18:39
awesome government's so you know this and obviously
18:42
I think most people if they're honest with
18:44
themselves in their heart of hearts why a
18:46
lot of people most of us are doing
18:48
it was some aspect of why were exercising
18:51
as we want to look at we want
18:53
to feel good about ourselves mx I don't
18:55
think enough people are honest about that. I
18:57
really don't rent. I think it's
18:59
because it's exceptionally difficult to outclass a lot
19:02
of people to be a that top ten
19:04
top five top one percent. And I feel
19:06
like the moment that people struggle to attain
19:08
that relic extended period of time if it
19:11
sailed the try for for six months or
19:13
year eighteen months and I just can't seem
19:15
to get there, they're more likely to slight
19:17
shift their mindset me like oh amassing, not
19:20
working out for that I'm only working out
19:22
for like general health and it's like the
19:24
more like even athletes that like they're they're
19:26
number one job is just to perform right
19:28
about. The goal Patchouli hands because a lot
19:31
of above your does a real it as a
19:33
fighter is a picture of him surfacing on the
19:35
internet recently in a locker of shirtless. People are
19:37
like he has a dad Bobby Wagner world it's
19:39
idea while performance anesthetic style it's go had have
19:42
but point being even athletes right there. Number one
19:44
goal was his performance. Will homes go Daddy What's
19:46
the perform? When Lebron James goes out he wants
19:48
to perform and my truck or that he wants
19:51
to perform even They still probably want to look
19:53
good right and somewhat in their training. They like
19:55
yeah like I'm doing all this hard work like
19:57
I want to be looking better. Than most the
19:59
people. Around the in, I mean, I wanted
20:01
to look like I work out think everybody
20:04
pretty much once. That in a way for
20:06
some people like myself, that's pretty much one
20:08
of the only reasons I train like Ibiza.
20:10
One of your longevity matters to me and
20:12
I'll add two and that's something I've put
20:14
more of a priority, more of an emphasis
20:17
on recently. But above all, like hey, look,
20:19
I work out and I both my tail
20:21
to look good, right? Not a very important
20:23
thing I think for most people, if they're
20:25
being honest, they indeed are working out, if
20:27
not primarily for that reason is a good
20:30
percent. Of the area and there's nothing wrong
20:32
with anything. just one of the hallmarks of
20:34
a clear thinkers to sick of being honest
20:36
with yourself and didn't honestly like. I think
20:38
it feels a little like skis years I
20:40
don't know. like room for lack of better
20:42
have a free. It just feels weird to
20:44
see that pretty pretty soon I come in.
20:46
The some we all want to be healthy.
20:48
it's perfectly fine anything another aspect of health
20:50
is. I mean let's be clear, like I'm
20:52
not like a young guy anymore. And I
20:54
am. I'm forty Four years, only forty five
20:56
and a couple months which still hard for
20:58
me to blue. I mean we. Started this
21:00
thing like it when I started to
21:02
the by wasn't that far in the
21:04
distance. I was like thirty five. You
21:06
know how much of his eight years
21:08
go by Bride? I think there's like
21:10
a very natural do something called Sark
21:12
Opinion ray which is essentially age related
21:14
muscle mass and it's just like a
21:16
verifiable fact of life that unless you
21:18
doing things to reverse this research or
21:20
halted at the minimum though I think
21:23
reversing and whole thing go hand in
21:25
hand. You're going to lose x percent
21:27
of your muscle every single year. After
21:29
a certain year. And in you can
21:31
find the blanks. I think it's something
21:33
like thirty five. It's pretty young right?
21:35
Yeah, it might start at thirty five
21:37
forty. There's a genetic component to it,
21:39
but you're absolutely on point with that
21:41
one. sort of in at that will
21:43
set. and if you do not regularly
21:45
do weight bearing activities basically is what
21:47
you need. So yet even if you
21:49
but the vanity to the side I
21:51
just for longevity purposes for general health
21:53
like doing some. Resistance. Training. And
21:55
this isn't one of those things where I feel like
21:57
people be like oh, he's he someone who he resistance,
21:59
training. The bias towards that that work look.
22:01
you don't have to do the exact style
22:04
than I do. but I would go as
22:06
far as to say that probably everybody on
22:08
the planet that has the ability to that's
22:10
healthy enough to and has access to the
22:13
necessary equipment should be resistance training at least
22:15
a couple times. We to doesn't need to
22:17
be anything crazy, it need to be four,
22:19
five, six hours. but hate. To
22:21
three twenty thirty minute sessions doc and really
22:24
really do a lot of damage in a
22:26
good way for you on the long term.
22:28
As far as longevity, general health, staving off
22:30
sort of money goes, and all that. that's
22:32
really important. It's. So important. And
22:34
I think this is something that Dr.
22:37
Peter it's here, talks about all the
22:39
time he has his i think the
22:41
most recent incarnation of it is the
22:43
Centenarian Decathlon or you may called the
22:45
Centenarian Olympics. It's essentially, but you keep
22:47
saying at the word longevity. it's things
22:49
about. Okay, I understand I
22:51
have a lifespan which is how long I'm
22:53
going to live, but how can I increase?
22:55
My husband and I think this is something
22:57
I've focused on with this healthy as your
22:59
ever and it's. It's. Understanding like
23:02
look this circa pina is
23:04
a biological fact. Or
23:06
it and I don't want to be. Seven.
23:09
Years old and not be able to
23:11
lift I target back into the overhead
23:13
compartment. right? Biggest whatever sentence of seven
23:16
year old can put a bag and overact Mormon.
23:18
it's gotta be significant. Plan is that there's plenty.
23:20
I don't know the percentage, but there's plenty and
23:22
and it extends even further than that. A lot
23:24
of older people, when you know you, they get
23:26
the seventy seventy five eighty. They experience bad false
23:28
kind of regularly and that can legitimately be. You
23:31
know at midnight I kill you right then and
23:33
there, but that can basically be a dust. certain
23:35
that away because then you become really a mobile,
23:37
you eat a dick, move it all to have
23:39
a stepson and it's like it's just like a
23:41
domino effect. A lot of that is due to
23:44
the fact that. They don't do any weight bearing
23:46
activities which is not a good thing. It's funny
23:48
I had a guy he was at the time he
23:50
was the oldest guy that I'd ever trained and he
23:52
came in. This was an in person client, the acid
23:54
and even and of becoming a fine and mind this
23:56
just a free trial to see if you're going to
23:59
sign up which. The gym offered at the time
24:01
and I happen to be the guy slated for
24:03
hims to the seventy five year old comes in
24:05
and you know I hadn't dubois squats I don't
24:07
even think I handed had the music of eighteen
24:10
and spock babies when he is boxes and squatting
24:12
down very far and I try to tested as
24:14
capabilities before even how to do like one with
24:16
his body weight on music I handed him anyway
24:18
as think did like maybe two or three sets
24:20
like ten or twelve just basically bodyweight air squats
24:23
down top Abbas come back up and I saw
24:25
him like a week or two later and he
24:27
didn't he didn't and of sign up you just
24:29
became like remember the gym you and he said
24:31
that he had a doctor's appointment right after hour
24:34
session just like coincidentally I was just like a
24:36
check up with the doctor and he when I
24:38
married with a day or two after news real
24:40
sore and the doctor was like oh or y
24:42
u so sore to zeus complained about it and
24:44
he said oh I did squats you know with
24:47
a trainer their diet thing about sign up yada
24:49
yada and the doctor said nah no no more
24:51
that I always squatting anymore items in an outfit
24:53
as and I'm like do you understand that if
24:55
you don't do the squatting right you are going
24:57
to be in far more trouble than if you
25:00
do. Right? And it's not like the doctor
25:02
said, oh, don't load on with the barbone and
25:04
at.which there might be a case for. I didn't
25:06
modem with the barbell. This is like bodyweight air
25:08
squats me and succeeding in the terrorists and lieutenant
25:10
sitting in a chair right? If you do not
25:12
have the capability to sit in the chair, get
25:14
off without pressing with your arms and everything like
25:16
that like and you may be in trouble. If
25:18
you're seventy or a person, you can do that.
25:20
You very well may be in trouble. You may
25:22
be at risk of falling, which began can result
25:24
in a domino effect sale your health and. Really?
25:26
Go down the tubes after that and that's
25:28
not hyperbole. Deny me. I think I've heard
25:30
on a T is hard cancer of the
25:33
human lab that it's something on the order
25:35
and this sounds ridiculous when here, but it's
25:37
actually it's true. It's like if you're sixty
25:39
five or older which is not that old
25:41
in the scheme of things and you break
25:43
your hip If you follow Amber, grab. You.
25:46
Have a one year mortality rate of
25:48
somewhere north of thirty percent in which
25:50
that on that high. But it is.
25:52
I've not crease Thirty percent of people
25:55
who break through hip die within twelve
25:57
months from just like and not you
25:59
With. But to the call
26:01
to action here for the Fi community
26:03
processing is was in. This is happening
26:06
to you whether you like it or
26:08
not. And obviously we all have the
26:10
type of exercise that we love and
26:12
we have a lot of runners in
26:14
the community. Nobody's questioning running. I think
26:17
most of the running community has. He
26:19
has really come over now to understanding
26:21
the importance of weightlifting. Yeah, and strength
26:23
training like this is Not Nineteen Eighty
26:25
Six anymore. like we've figured out. This
26:28
is ridiculous. It is the most. Critical
26:30
thing because all those things you love to
26:32
do, you can not do them unless you
26:34
train at them. So think about it like
26:36
it's here and think about it like a
26:38
centenarian. The cap on. What do I want
26:40
to be able to do? When. I'm
26:42
hundred. When my great grandchild runs at
26:44
me, I want to be able to
26:46
kind of squat down and pick them
26:49
up. But Dean, you know that's like
26:51
what is that look like That's basically
26:53
a kettle bell squat. A goblet. Squats
26:55
rates are like. While. That's not in
26:58
the train, we do, necessarily. There's obviously a lot
27:00
of crossover, but even for somebody holding a kettlebell
27:02
in front of them and squatting down, think about
27:04
all that has to happen. You have to brace
27:06
used to breach your midsection. You have to be
27:08
able to squat with. that way you have to
27:10
be able to stand up with a with a
27:12
gifted maybe and I'm I'm not saying to do
27:15
that because some people can get their shoulders out
27:17
whack. Relax with that overhead. Like what? If you
27:19
want to play a game where you have to
27:21
great grandchild overhead like you've gotta be able to
27:23
lift a thirty time kettlebell. And if you can
27:25
do that at thirty or forty or fifty, There's
27:28
no world where you can do that. Had
27:30
seventy or eighty you've gotta be able to
27:32
do it. Adds sixty or sixty pounds now
27:34
because again, it's biological fact that you were
27:36
going to deteriorate. So it's effects. You gotta
27:38
build these things. And what do you want
27:40
your life to look like And you've gotta
27:42
start. Now I'm in. The More You kind
27:44
of a weird it's you before and another
27:46
thing that jumped out to me, it's like
27:48
you're a value investor. You're an index fund
27:51
investor. your father, Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger
27:53
like you're one of us And what one
27:55
of us means in my mind as. Long
27:57
term thinking. Like you said, nothing's
27:59
have. In from one workout. Nothing's
28:01
happening from saving money on one
28:04
paycheck. It's Five. Ten twenty years
28:06
of putting in the inputs re
28:08
like. That's what this journey is.
28:11
A Absolutely I mean said touch on the
28:13
financial aspect of things right? You don't want
28:15
to be the guy who is. You know,
28:17
Fifty Five, Fifty Seven, Sixty Years old. You're
28:19
like, oh, I've never say the Diver Tyrant.
28:21
Likewise, you don't want to be the guy
28:23
or girl who is in out Fifty Five
28:25
Sixty Sixty Five Years old. Oh, I don't
28:27
exercise. I'm going to have to start now
28:29
and my body already kind of broken bow.
28:32
You just don't wanna be that person. So
28:34
if you're twenty Twenty Five Thirty Thirty five,
28:36
it's not too late that are not not
28:38
even saying that. it's too late to start
28:40
it. At fifty five or sixty or whatever.
28:42
it's never too late to start, But you
28:44
want to get ahead of that, right? You
28:46
don't want to be that person in that
28:48
spot trying to play catch up trying to
28:50
do things already with a broken down body.
28:52
So the call to action is deathly. Hey,
28:55
You. Don't have to dedicate your entire life to
28:57
this. You're not becoming Ronnie Coleman. You're not
28:59
becoming a professional athlete. Might just start going
29:01
the gym bro. or maybe even training and
29:03
home of you've got some equipment. They're. Two.
29:06
Times a week. Twenty minutes, right? and you
29:08
can. This is with the something I heard
29:10
from Tim Ferris and James Clear on our
29:12
To Vs part. Yes, I think it was
29:14
clear who said that if he can't get
29:16
in his for forty five or sixty minute
29:18
workout hill just kind of reduce the scope.
29:20
but you'll still get something and he'll be
29:22
like I I got fifteen minutes today omnibus
29:24
on the now just to reinforce that he
29:26
is a person who regularly exercise, it adheres
29:28
to his schedule. Even when things are tough,
29:30
We get it. everybody's got a tight schedule.
29:32
Twenty or thirty minutes can be kind of
29:34
hard to come by for. Some people, but
29:36
look, if you bake that in. It's.
29:38
Going to have a very profound effect
29:40
on your life not only in the
29:42
near term but in the long term
29:44
which is your as we know is
29:46
most important. Agree? Yeah Sue Teen I
29:48
think the Had is a perfect stopping
29:50
point for this initial touch when I
29:52
think as I see and like who
29:54
sweden sweaty people's appetite for he'd this
29:56
is pretty interesting and more importantly pieces
29:58
of beauty. The mental part of
30:01
living a better life which really is one
30:03
of the secret sources of choose if I
30:05
it's not just about the nuts and bolts
30:07
of money we would a went away six
30:09
and a half years ago. This is just
30:11
like the boring hey let's get our money
30:13
right. This is about living a better life
30:15
so. I think we should wrap
30:18
it up here and throw it out
30:20
to the audience. so send us in questions
30:22
about anything we talked about today, anything about
30:24
muscle building, sink building, any aspects of
30:26
health I know we're going to do around
30:28
to so people can send us has questions,
30:31
feedback at she's a Fighter com or really
30:33
the easiest ways to get a my
30:35
newsletter which you can just find that she's
30:37
about. it comes as subscribe and then just
30:40
really hit reply to any those emails I
30:42
get every single one. So to send in
30:44
your questions about health and fitness. And
30:47
and an egg to read all of
30:49
them and you know the around to
30:51
because. Awesome. Frankly, didn't like. There's a
30:53
bunch of stuff that I wanna talk
30:55
about about house like things that I've
30:57
tried and as healthy as your ever
30:59
about cutting down on alcohol it's almost
31:01
zero. I've cut out gruden, I've tracked
31:03
my sleep religiously. A lot of things
31:05
like adding a lot more protein again
31:07
for muscle building. Like some of these
31:09
things that answers your room in talks
31:11
about with getting morning and evening sunlight.
31:13
I've been doing blood tests I actually
31:15
just went for of your. To Max test
31:17
So I know you and I are going
31:19
to build some more cardio and for me
31:21
So there's really a lot here And like
31:23
us had, this is a fundamental aspect of
31:25
living a holistic life. so. Thank. You
31:28
so much for being here. I mentioned
