So about got our question for us? Oh excellent, you got the full
intro to step to the play?Did yo yo yo? How does it
go? Whatever you want? Justsay, we're asking answering y'all's questions,
saying whatever you want. Welcome toFriday's episode. We're answering y'all's question.
Yeah, welcome you all to onegood question the Friday episode, and today's
(00:30):
question is brought to you by theone and only me. How do you
guys feel about people like constantly likeflip flopping within the fitness industry, So
going from like hybrid training to powerliftingto bodybuilding. Yeah, I think the
most common is probably the strength worldor bodybuilding world into an endurance sport,
(00:52):
right, Yeah, that's probably themost common right now about and it's still
popular. The jiu jitsu switch,but I feel that was really popular like
five eight years ago, a lotof strength athletes just started doing jiu jitsu,
which you can kind of hybrid thosepretty decently. Obviously, one's going
to suffer if you try to makeone prioritize one to be really good at
something. Right now, if youreally want to be good at jiu jitsu,
(01:15):
you're rolling two hours a day,five to seven days a week.
If you really want to be goodat powerlifting, you got to powerlift two
hours a day, four to sixdays a week. Eventually one of those
is going to give Running. Similarly, yeah, you probably get your mile
time to five six minutes, butto like really smash a marathon, you're
one re at max squat's probably goingto suffer. I think in terms of
(01:37):
like non biased mic, I thinkit's all great, right. I think
if you're moving, If you're moving, you're doing something positive for you.
And if you're a content creator,you're doing some positive for other people because
you're showing multiple ways to exercise.And I've always said that, hey,
I don't care if your power lift, I don't care if your body build.
Find an activity you like and doit. Often the critical mic thinks
that most of these people, youknow, it's just again a little bit
(02:01):
hypocritical or ironic that it's the samefolks talking about discipline and talking about you
know, delayed gratification and you're preachingall these things. I made a tweet
about it the other day, like, why is every business guru right now
steroided out of his brains, hasn'tlifted weights longer than three years consistently and
(02:22):
preaching to me about patience and business. You know, yeah, and you're
just like fa like And I've saidthis many times and we got deep into
it with the Barton Geo podcast along time ago about like the discipline hard
working gnomer doesn't really matter if it'sonly in one category that you chosen,
(02:44):
you and enjoy. Right, Like, if I'm meeting McDonald's three meals a
day, am I dedicated? I'ma dedicated McDonald's eater. I'm disciplined because
I'm eating. Right. If mygoal you know, attempted by Arbi's any
day of the week, my goalis the fucking McDonald's three days a week.
So now, all of a sudden, right, that's easy. That's
easy, and so like powerlifting ishard when you're beat up and you're not
(03:05):
having fun anymore. Yeah, right, But that's how you get stronger and
it's how you get better. AndI believe, I do believe that's the
case with business and relationships and doingthe hard shit over and over when you
don't want to, when you leastlikely want to. Not in the micro,
but in the macro years, decadesof work will get you knowledge,
and we'll get you somewhere. Alot of it's trendy, you know.
In our past episode, we justtalked about the algorithm and how that's kind
(03:29):
of niching people out whether they wantto or not. Again, on the
non critical side, it's fine.There's much worse evils in this world in
the If I'm being ultra critical,yeah, I find it a little hypocritical
and ironic that these people haven't eventrained or created content for ten years and
(03:49):
now all of a sudden they're boredbecause they don't know what to create,
and so they're just finding some newshit that's popular on the internet, which
happens to be running at this moment. Yeah, I don't know if you
have the foresight to go in towhatever initial sport you're gonna put yourself in
for social media and say I'm interestedin a lot of things. This is
what I'm gonna do right now.I might do other stuff later, come
(04:11):
along with me. Most people don'thave that kind of foresight, but if
they did, like, I gotnothing wrong with that, Yeah, I
got no complaints at all. Butpeople who are heed dropping things when they
get hard, or if they areand moving on to something else, or
if they're just cloud chasing with it, you know, just like oh everyone's
doing it, or I'll go chasinglike everyone's doing it, so I need
(04:34):
to do it. It's like well, I mean yes and no, Like
running is cool, right because it'sso minimal. Yeah. Yeah, I
remember even watching Casey and Eistatt whenhe was on his come up in like
twenty fifteen, and he's big intorunning, and I thought that was cool
that he travels the world and he'sdoing a volog on Emords. I don't
(04:54):
even know how to say it,right, Emirates, Emirates, Emirates fucking
uh, first class experience. Andthen as soon as he lands and he's
like literally flying it to Paris andthen flying it back within like ten hours.
He's just shown the airplane. Butwhen he lands, he goes for
a run because you just can,right, Like that's cool. And so
if people are like finding that andlike the outdoors, right, A lot
of people are that are promoting thisas outdoors and it's not on a treadmill,
(05:15):
like yeah, it's all like anet positive uh, and running in
particular, we're like jiu jitsu isway more specialized power of things fucking specialized.
Like I understand if you don't wantto buy one hundred dollars belt and
you don't want to go to thefancy gyms, and I get it,
But just doing it because it's aneasy trend is a different conversation, right.
I think that it's chose a lotmore integrity to stick with something that
(05:42):
you find hard, for sure.And I think that's a little bit where
probably I don't want to speak foryou, but I think a little bit
of the what do they call it, the thing on your shoulder chip,
the chip that we have is justthat we did all this before it was
cool, No, that's for sure, you know. And we did it
because we like the bar bell andwe saw what it could do to us
mentally, we saw what it coulddo to community, We saw the net
positives from that, and then peoplestart probably started powerlifting because it was cool.
(06:06):
Yeah, And those are probably thesame ones that are doing whatever because
they didn't like find the value init. But the value in it is
the marathon, the value in anyof this, and running running for a
year isn't gonna teach a shit.Everyone's like to learn so much about myself.
Bitch, you you've run for sixmonths, you know, like you
just found God. You read theBible once, and you fucking go to
(06:27):
heaven. Like it doesn't work thatway. Like the value in running is
the same thing is that it's monotonousas shit. It's fucking hard once you
are in decent shape and you're runninga six minute mile to get to the
five fifty miles really fucking really hard. Yeah, right, Like that's the
beauty of powerlifting too. Getting fivehundred pound deadlift, great, that's really
good. Get into the six hundredGonna take you double as long. You
know, that's kind of the beautyin the struggle that people are avoiding by
(06:51):
by hopping around. And it's asimilar thing we talked about of program jumping
was a huge thing in the earlytwenty tens and now coach jumping because people
or more have more access to that, which is great, but that's a
common thing in the twenty twenties.So, you know, I think,
if you really want to learn aboutyourself, if you want to be an
expert anything, the ten thousand hourrule, whether that's verified or not,
(07:12):
I've heard different arguments, but there'ssomething there. Maybe b Yeah, but
there's something there. For sure.You're gonna be more of an expert of
ten thousand hours than two thousand hoursas for sure. Even if all you're
learning is why you're bad at it, it literally doesn't matter. Yeah,
but you just but you're gonna learnabout yourself. You're gonna learn about yourself
and hard times, you're gonna learnabout yourself when you're not choosing the easy
route. And we all know beginnergains, right, So people go jogging
(07:33):
and they're getting beginner gains there too, and they're probably fucking stoked on it,
all right, jog for ten years, bitch, tell me how you
feel. I'll actually want to pausehere and shout out former guests on our
show. I think we had himon last year, Sam Schaeffer, who
had to blow the knee amputation,like voluntary because he had an injury that
(07:53):
wouldn't heal and he was in constantpain, and like he's doing a lot
of shit. He's running, he'sthrowing, he's you know, he's doing
everything. It's like he's proving Ican still do these things. I can
still be athletic and whatever, andI can enjoy doing them, or I
can enjoy the fact that it's hardand I'm making it through or whatever.
(08:13):
Like, yeah, like I haveall the respect in the world for that.
That's a great And I think hisinjury was from running, Yeah it
was. Yeah. Talk about difficulty, yeah right, like the mental difficulty
to go do what fucked your lifeup? Yeah, like that's hard.
Yeah. No, just I meana good guy, you know, pure
(08:33):
motivations. From what you can tell. I have conversations with him every once
in a while, and like allthe respect in the world for that.
He's not chasing clout to make content. He's doing cool shit he wants to
do and proving that he can stilldo it. And there's just no downside
of that as far as I'm concerned. Yeah. Yeah, don't take my
(08:56):
criticism to not go start something neweither, But don't go start things that
don't follow through on them. Ithink that's like the bigger lesson. Yeah.
Yeah, It's like how many peoplemay like buy all the gear for
some new sport and do it fortwo weeks and then they walk away from
the powerlifting. You're seeing it moreand more, you know, guys are
like retiring when they did like twoweeks and what foks going on? Tired
(09:16):
Jersey. Yeah, someone's gonna askus one day throw their single of the
Rasters with fucking baby powder all thefuck on it to fuck man. Think
that baby battery is gonna float downfor the rest of time. Bastards,
