Your body can accomplish extraordinary things—if you train it to be resilient. Brandon Mancini earned the nickname "The Wolverine" after surviving a catastrophic accident that should have broken bones but didn't, thanks to years of dedicated strength training. With CK levels nine times above the threshold for heart failure risk, doctors were stunned by his recovery. When they told him his athletic days were behind him, Brandon responded with unwavering conviction: "I will squat 405 again." Sixteen months later, he did exactly that.
What makes this conversation powerful isn't just Brandon's remarkable recovery story, but his revolutionary approach to fitness. Rather than fixating on aesthetics, he helps busy parents and professionals become "harder to kill and more useful in general." When meeting potential clients, he doesn't immediately ask about exercise history—he assesses their support system, knowing that sustainable transformation requires community.
The discussion tackles gym intimidation head-on, exposing how decades of sitcom stereotypes have wrongly portrayed fitness spaces as judgmental and extreme. Brandon offers a more accurate view: most gym-goers are focused on their own journey and welcome others on similar paths. He introduces the concept of the gym as a vital "third place" beyond home and work—a community that pulls your life in a positive direction.
Perhaps most valuable is Brandon's advice for consistency: on days when motivation wanes, commit to just the first few sets. This activates your sympathetic nervous system enough to generate feelings similar to motivation. The philosophy extends beyond fitness to any meaningful life change: "Get your goal, get your end in mind. Build a plan to get there. Create checkpoints on the way. Focus on the daily task—that's where the magic happens."

Now let's dive into today's episode her information
in the show notes below.
Now let's dive into today'sepisode.
All of us reach a point in timewhere we are depleted and need
to somehow find a way toreignite the fire within.
But how do we spark that flame?
Welcome to Reignite Resilience,where we will venture into the
(01:26):
heart of the human spirit.
We'll discuss the art ofreigniting our passion and
strategies to stoke ourenthusiasm.
And now here are your hosts,Natalie Davis and Pamela Cass.
Speaker 3 (01:44):
So I developed this really early on, really in my
youth I don't want to takepainkillers because I want them
to work if I ever need them.
So we're in the ambulance andone of the paramedics goes do
you want me to give yousomething for the pain?
And by default he said I don'ttake that stuff, I want it to
work if I ever need it.
And those guys looked at eachother and the guy goes hey, man,
I think this is when you mightneed it.
I was like, oh yeah.
(02:06):
And then so they gave mewhatever.
I don't know what it was, but Ijust started going fuzzy.
He's like all right, we'regoing to use your phone to call
your wife.
I remember telling him likeokay, but don't tell her.
And I went out and I still get alittle emotional thinking about
this, because she saw my phonenumber come up and answers it,
having just talked to me likefive minutes prior.
And then she's like, hey, babe,and then she gets a paramedic
(02:27):
hey, we're taking your husbandto the hospital.
His leg and his hip were broken.
He was pinned between two cars,right.
So that's what they had toldher, because that's what they
saw, that's what they assessedthe C to be.
But I get to the hospital andthere's no breaks Three severe
bone bruises, severe crushsyndrome, compartment syndrome
to all the muscles of the rightleg, torn MCL.
So she comes to the hospitalthere and I'm incredibly drugged
(02:50):
up.
I have it in my head.
I'm going home tonight.
I told her babe, we're justgoing to have pizza and donuts
for dinner tonight.
I don't care what you know,what we're just going to do
she's like, yeah, sure, that'swhat we'll do.
So I ended up being in the ICUfor a week, because when you
have crush syndrome to such alarge area, everything inside
(03:11):
the muscle fibers is releasedinto your bloodstream.
So they are monitoring your CKlevels because once they get
past a certain level, you're atrisk for heart failure.
Mine were nine times that for48 hours.
You are at risk for heartfailure.
Mine were nine times that for48 hours.
So way, the Wolverine storycame to be.
One of the nurses in the ICUwas a member at one of the
(03:32):
CrossFit gyms that I coached at,and if you know anything about
CrossFitters, they're going tofind every reason to tell you
why you should do CrossFit,right?
So he was like, see, this iswhy you guys need to come to
CrossFit.
This is my coach.
Right?
It increases bone density.
Look, he didn't even break abone, right?
Speaker 4 (03:48):
You're not even healed yet and you're already a
testimonial.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
Right.
So all of that to say, I wouldnot have chosen this way to
prove that my methods work formaking you harder to kill, but
it did, it did.
And then, through the recoveryprocess, I dug into everything
to expedite recovery, largelyfrom a guy named Charles
Poliquin and a researcher namedDr Rhonda Patrick and everything
(04:15):
they talked about for helpingexpedite recovery.
So when I was going to physicaltherapy, one of the physical
therapists said man, you'rerecovering like a real life
Wolverine.
So that's both.
Those times really stoked myego and that was great.
But it's um, yeah, I've, I'vedecided to go ahead and lead
into that, uh, that moniker.
You know, I've heard people.
I will often get the commentman, that is extraordinary, but
(04:38):
it's what the human body iscapable of.
There is nothing special ordifferent about me.
It is strength and conditioning.
Get strong and do stuff.
The thing I said earlier aboutmaking you harder to kill Mark
Ripto is an old strengthconditioning coach in this game
has this great quote that saysstronger people are harder to
kill and more useful in general.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
Yeah, yeah, absolutely.
Speaker 4 (05:01):
That's huge.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
Wow, that's huge yeah , and that incident, that
accident would have killed mostpeople.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
Yeah, there was a moment where, well, I don't know
if it would have killed mostpeople, but the way I was hit.
I will say there is an aspectof this where I'm very lucky.
It was before kids.
I used to love just old Jeeps,that's all I would drive and I
will get another one again oncethe kids are older.
But I had just walked aroundthe back of that Jeep.
They have that big spare tirethere.
I had just cleared that tire.
(05:29):
If I had been lined up withthat tire, my rib cage would
have been crushed and that Idon't know if squatting 405
would have helped me with that.
So there is an aspect to itwhere I am lucky.
In one of the last days in theICU, the doctor in charge came
in and I understand her intentwas to help me get right up here
(05:51):
.
She said Mr Mancini, again,everybody, thanks to that nurse,
had heard about why they shoulddo CrossFit.
She said look, there is acertain percentage of the
population who would have losttheir leg in this accident.
The vast majority would havehad a break Because of your
exercise history three severebone bruises, no break.
So you fared this better thanmost and you will recover better
(06:12):
than most, but you need tounderstand.
Those days are behind you andagain, I understand her intent.
But I also knew I know howimportant mindset and vision is.
So I told her who's in chargeof my healthcare.
Or rather, I asked her who's incharge of my healthcare and the
look on her face instantly toldme she thought I was asking
(06:34):
where's the man in charge which,if somebody is making a
statement like that against thefemale doctor, I totally get
being offended by that.
But she said I'm in charge ofyour care.
Are you okay with that?
I said no, ma'am, you're aconsultant, I am in charge of my
healthcare.
I appreciate your opinion.
I will squat 405 again.
And it took me 16 months to getback to that.
Wow yes, ma'am congratulations.
Speaker 4 (06:57):
I mean that's huge just going through that
experience in itself.
You know you're right when youtalk about the, the mindset and
being in the right mental spaceand having the mental capacity
to to understand that you'regoing to heal, your body will
heal itself, that you're goingto do what's necessary to get
there and that you will come outon the other side as well,
having having that goal.
Speaker 3 (07:18):
And not even knowing exactly how at that point, but I
knew just what you said.
I was going to do what wasnecessary Because, I mean, did I
make mistakes along the way?
Absolutely it was.
I was very fortunate enoughagain, my entire exercise
history, the people who coachedand mentored me early in my
career to help me understand theprinciples I needed to put into
play.
But I was in unchartedterritory, right.
(07:40):
So it's yeah, I leaned on mysupport system, which is,
whenever I sit down to talk topotential clients, that's one of
the first things I talk about.
Not goals, not exercise historythat's, of course, important
stuff to talk about but theirsupport system, coaching them on
how to lean on that supportsystem, reminding them they
don't have a support system.
(08:00):
They are part of a supportsystem, so you need to make sure
you're putting into that groupas well.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
Yeah, yeah, absolutely.
I love that.
Speaker 4 (08:07):
That leads to something that I'm curious about
, as you're talking to potentialclients taking on new clients.
What are some things thatyou're looking for within that
individual when you'reconnecting with them?
Because I'm assuming that notevery client is an ideal client
for you to take on, for them towork with you?
Maybe not ideal or the timingis not right, whatever
combination thereof, but whatare you ideally looking for in
(08:30):
individuals when they approachyou to work with them?
Speaker 3 (08:32):
Yeah.
So my mission is to help anyonewith initiative get on the
correct path to their goals,right.
So if they are like busyparents and professionals are
primarily who I work with,because they are just strapped
for time, they need to be first.
Being fit and in better shapedoes not by default make you a
(08:54):
better parent, right, but itobviously makes you more capable
of being a better parent, right.
Then you would be if youweren't in good shape, if you
weren't fit, Because fit is thedefinition of it, is being
suitable for a cause or callingright.
So when someone has that, it'sgoing back to that worthy goal.
(09:15):
If the only thing someone cantell me they want to get out of
their health and fitness is asix pack, I'm less likely to
take that person on as a client,Because I know again, I've been
doing this for a damn near aquarter century when things get
tough, when the schedule getstight and you can only get in a
15-minute workout, that personis going to be like okay, Right
(09:39):
when.
The person who, man, I need tohave energy for my kids, I need
to get this done so that I canbe better for my team at work,
Right.
The person who identifies withbeing fit it isn't just tied up
in the side effects of it Rightbut identifies with I need to be
better for my life, for thosein my life.
(10:00):
That person is going tounderstand okay, I can only get
15 minutes, Awesome, I can get15 minutes and they're going to
get that done, and it's.
I did a social media post onthis a few weeks ago.
I had two clients recently.
One had a death in the familyand the other one had a medical
(10:23):
issue come up in the familywhere they had to go help a
family member move and all thisstuff.
So they both came in to theirappointment saying, coach, I
couldn't get it done this weekand they were talking about it
as if it were a failure.
Right, this took over my life.
I couldn't get it done.
And they were talking aboutlost gains and lost progress and
(10:46):
I said, hold on a second.
Both of them had madeincredible progress for the
months leading up to that.
Right, they were getting almosteverything done, because no one
gets everything done, butgetting almost everything done
made great progress greatimprovements in strength, great
improvements in energy output,more work capacity, all that I
was like this was not a failure.
(11:07):
This was your progress on fullfucking display.
You were better for your familymembers that needed you because
of all the work you'd done.
Stop looking at this as afailure.
Think about how you would havefared this week had you not been
putting in all because thisweek was coming, whether you
knew it or not.
Think about how you would havefared the week differently had
(11:30):
you not put all the work inthose months prior.
And they were both like, yeah,yeah, and they had family
members thanking them for beingthere for you.
Know, man, you really made adifference this week.
That's the type of person I'mlooking for, the person who
wants to be more valuable totheir support system.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
Yeah, I love that.
And when you are taking care ofyourself, you are able to show
up as a better version ofyourself for everybody else your
kids, your family, whoever itis that needs you Exactly your
kids, your family, whoever it isthat needs you Exactly.
Speaker 3 (11:58):
I mean again, we're talking universal principles.
When you get on the airplane,what do they tell you?
Put on your mask.
Before you can help thosearound you, you have to make
sure that you're taken care of.
It is not selfish to do so.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
Now, how much of your training is online?
How much of it is in person?
Is it a blend?
Speaker 3 (12:17):
It's a blend?
The online much of it is inperson.
Is it a blend or it's a blend?
The online side of it is isgrowing every single month.
There's yeah, more and morepeople are, and it's it's great
to see more and more people arelooking for simple yeah, not
easy, right.
Simple, effective ways to to toreally just make change.
Speaker 1 (12:35):
And they're able to do it in their home, Like do
they need to have a full gym intheir house or so I advocate for
getting a gym membership for acouple of different reasons.
Speaker 3 (12:45):
We can talk about need, right.
What do you need?
Well, you need to keepbreathing and you know maybe a
few things beyond that.
Right, I think that was theline from that Tom Hanks movie
Castaway right, I just need tokeep breathing, right.
Tom Hanks movie, castaway right, I just need to keep breathing.
Right, so there's what do youneed.
But then there's your thirdplace.
Right, you have home, you havework.
(13:07):
Everyone has a third place.
For a lot of people it can be abar, right, some type of social
environment that's going to takeyour life, your health, your
support system in one directionfor sure.
Right, having that third placethat fits between the two is
(13:27):
great for, again, more than justthe physical side of health,
being healthy and fit.
Right, because physical healthand mental health are symbiotic.
When you can get them bothworking together, they're
greater than some of the parts,the tools that are available in
most gyms, like strengthtraining.
We talked about the definitionof strength earlier, strength
(13:47):
training.
If we're to break down simplywhat it is, the only difference
between strength training andyoga is external load.
When we're squatting, we'reusing the body to control the
space between two pieces of massthe barbell and the earth.
If you think about how gravityworks, two pieces of mass in
space have a gravitational pullto each other.
So that's what we're working on.
(14:07):
So yoga and strength trainingare both a practice of shapes.
I may be getting a little bitin the weeds here, but Please
continue to go there.
Speaker 4 (14:14):
This is good.
Speaker 3 (14:16):
The gym has the tools that are going to allow you to
be most effective.
With your time right, you canbuild a home gym.
I have one and that's great.
I still have a membership to agym because I work at home and I
live at home and my kids arehere, right.
So having that third place isgreat for a lot of different
reasons.
Now, on that, going into the gym, there's a young lady I was
(14:38):
working with.
This was back in like 2007,2008, when I was up in Virginia.
She was going through thisincredible transformation,
reinvention of herself, and beenworking with her at the point
of the story is like seven,eight months, something like
that.
And you share stories, you makejokes and everything.
We were talking about the crazythings we'd seen in our careers
(15:02):
and at this point, I've beengoing to gyms since the late 80s
, but we've been workingprofessionally on them for
whatever.
It was seven, eight years atthat point.
So she was an event planner forlarge corporations, so she had
seen some crazy things too.
We're going back and forth.
So I had this thing I'd sharedwith people over the years.
I first noticed it in the 90s,before I was in gyms
professionally and way beforesocial media that no matter what
(15:22):
time you went to the gym andagain, this was 2007, 2008, so
before social media as well nomatter what time you went to the
gym 6 am, 7 pm, midnight, 3 inthe morning, doesn't matter If
the gym's open.
Someone is sitting in their car, just sitting there, right?
And so I'd share that withpeople dozens of times and they
(15:43):
would always go.
Oh wow, what do you thinkthey're doing?
Are they stalking someone?
Is it a private detective?
Right?
And she didn't say any of that.
She goes.
Yeah, I know.
I was like what do you mean?
You know she's like.
That was me for three monthsbefore I joined the gym, packed
my gym bag, went to work, cameto that gym parking lot and sat
there in my car trying to talkmyself up to go into the gym for
(16:05):
three months and I couldn't doit.
And me again, having been aprofessional helping people
change lives for almost a decade, at that point, like had this
existential crisis of like I'vebeen walking past people on the
threshold of changing theirlives and I'm going what the
fuck is this weirdo doing, right?
So so I was like oh wow, likethat's just a lesson in
(16:30):
perspective there.
So the heaviest weight in thegym is the front door, and the
more you do it, the easier itgets.
But it's still like.
I still have those days when Idon't want to go work out.
Those are the most importantdays, though, when you're
motivated, when you're ready togo, it's hard to stop me from
getting in there, right.
But when you don't want to justcommit to the first two or
(16:54):
three sets Because what's goingto happen is your sympathetic
side of your nervous, your fightor flight side of your nervous
system turns on, it's time to go, and what you start to feel
after those first few sets feelsa lot like motivation right Now
.
If you don't feel that, thenmaybe something is wrong, maybe
you're on the front of asickness, but you got a couple
(17:15):
of sets in, and that isinfinitely better than getting
nothing in right, I was never agym goer.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
I always had the stuff at home the Peloton, the
treadmill, the weights and allthat.
And then pandemic happened.
I was never a gym goer.
I always had the stuff at homethe peloton, the treadmill, the
weights and all that.
And then pandemic happened.
I was like, woohoo, I can juststay at home.
But now that I go and I do likefive classes a week now it's
like a community.
It's like I know all thesewomen that I'm going to this
class with, I know theinstructor and you build these
friendships.
And then it's like thisaccountability where I'm like I
(17:46):
have to go now, because thenthey're going to call me Like
why didn't you go?
So I think there's a communityas well.
Speaker 3 (17:51):
Getting started is the hardest part and I'll tell
you guys after my accident in2017,.
So I remember in 2018, goingback to the gym for the first
time, Like, again, had beengoing to gyms since the late 80s
, early 90s, been workingprofessionally in them since
2001.
But I remember in 2018, like,the first time, walking in, I
(18:14):
was going into an LA fitness andI remember sitting in a parking
lot thinking about the younglady up in Virginia, Like, yeah,
I feel it now, Like I'm afraidto go in there, Like I was on
still on crutches.
You know it's like.
But I knew again.
I knew I kept thinking I'm incharge of my healthcare.
I'm the only one that can.
No one can do this for you.
(18:34):
No one can be great for you, noone can do the daily acts for
you.
I was the one that had to getit done.
Speaker 1 (18:39):
You're the CEO of your body.
Speaker 3 (18:42):
Yes ma'am.
Speaker 4 (18:48):
Gotta act like it, I love it.
Well, when we talk about, likethe folks that sit in the car
and they have to stokethemselves up, they probably
have some myths that areswirling around in their mind
that you know, thesepreconceived notions or beliefs
that they need to just put torest in order to just, you know,
open the door the heaviestweight that's there.
Let's address some of thosemyths.
Speaker 3 (19:05):
Let's do it.
Speaker 4 (19:07):
I've got it.
I've got it for you.
Speaker 3 (19:09):
Let me tell you exactly where it comes from, or
at least one aspect of it.
Speaker 4 (19:14):
Okay, let's do it yes .
Speaker 3 (19:15):
If you think back to the last 30 or 40 years, any of
the top rated sitcoms has had anepisode where the main
character or characters join agym and they go there and the
person at the front desk is allnice, it's probably an
attractive young lady, right, orsome lady and a buff dude and
they're like oh, thank you somuch, Thank you for coming in,
(19:36):
we want to help you achieve thebest version of yourself.
And then they'll sign the paper.
And then one turns to the otherand goes man, it's really nice
in here.
It's not at all what I thought.
And then they turn back aroundand the same person is there
like do 100 push-ups we owe younow.
And they yell at them andthey're like, oh.
And then for the next 10minutes of the episode they're
(19:57):
walking around like the Tin manand they can't move.
And the moral of that episodeis those people are crazy,
you're fine the way you are, youdon't need to go in there.
So that's what people think thefitness industry is.
Now let me stop and say arethere a-holes in the gym?
Absolutely, guess where else.
There's a-holes Everywhere.
Speaker 1 (20:16):
Everywhere.
Speaker 3 (20:17):
Yes, in the world, exactly In the world, 100%.
Speaker 4 (20:22):
In the world, yeah.
Speaker 3 (20:23):
But the better part, the one important thing to
understand is the vast majorityof the people in there aren't
thinking about you.
They're there to work onthemselves and anybody who wants
to work on themselves wants tobe surrounded by other people
who are working on themselvesand they want that community,
just as you said it, pam.
(20:44):
So it's back to home.
Gym is great.
I have one, I love it, and it'sgreat for families as well,
because my kids they don't knowanything except fitness being a
part of life.
So we are raising them to haveit as part of their identity.
But we're also raising them tomake sure we work on intellect
(21:07):
and mental health and we getinto nature.
Right, it is just physical,mental and emotional development
is what my kids will identifywith.
So having that third place backto that is is important, and
the vast majority of the peoplethat are involved in being
(21:29):
healthy want you to be healthyas well.
Speaker 1 (21:32):
Yeah, I see it.
My son joined a gym, oh gosh,probably two years ago.
He's 19.
That's probably more than three.
It was probably three years ago.
It was when the pandemichappened.
It was like as soon as that wasover he had been a competitive
soccer and that all that allwent away.
And so he's at the gym and he'sgot his gym community and it's
adults, it's people his age, andthey all look out for each
(21:53):
other and they have these greatconversations and I love seeing
that he loves those people thathe works out with and they are
all supporting each other and soit's fun yeah, yeah, the
community aspect is, isimportant, for sure.
Speaker 4 (22:07):
It's key.
Yeah, absolutely Well, Brandon,if our listeners want to get a
hold of you, connect with you,see what else you're working on,

in the show notes below.
Now let's dive into today'sepisode.
All of us reach a point in timewhere we are depleted and need
to somehow find a way toreignite the fire within.
But how do we spark that flame?
Welcome to Reignite Resilience,where we will venture into the
(01:26):
heart of the human spirit.
We'll discuss the art ofreigniting our passion and
strategies to stoke ourenthusiasm.
And now here are your hosts,Natalie Davis and Pamela Cass.
Speaker 3 (01:44):
So I developed this really early on, really in my
youth I don't want to takepainkillers because I want them
to work if I ever need them.
So we're in the ambulance andone of the paramedics goes do
you want me to give yousomething for the pain?
And by default he said I don'ttake that stuff, I want it to
work if I ever need it.
And those guys looked at eachother and the guy goes hey, man,
I think this is when you mightneed it.
I was like, oh yeah.
(02:06):
And then so they gave mewhatever.
I don't know what it was, but Ijust started going fuzzy.
He's like all right, we'regoing to use your phone to call
your wife.
I remember telling him likeokay, but don't tell her.
And I went out and I still get alittle emotional thinking about
this, because she saw my phonenumber come up and answers it,
having just talked to me likefive minutes prior.
And then she's like, hey, babe,and then she gets a paramedic
(02:27):
hey, we're taking your husbandto the hospital.
His leg and his hip were broken.
He was pinned between two cars,right.
So that's what they had toldher, because that's what they
saw, that's what they assessedthe C to be.
But I get to the hospital andthere's no breaks Three severe
bone bruises, severe crushsyndrome, compartment syndrome
to all the muscles of the rightleg, torn MCL.
So she comes to the hospitalthere and I'm incredibly drugged
(02:50):
up.
I have it in my head.
I'm going home tonight.
I told her babe, we're justgoing to have pizza and donuts
for dinner tonight.
I don't care what you know,what we're just going to do
she's like, yeah, sure, that'swhat we'll do.
So I ended up being in the ICUfor a week, because when you
have crush syndrome to such alarge area, everything inside
(03:11):
the muscle fibers is releasedinto your bloodstream.
So they are monitoring your CKlevels because once they get
past a certain level, you're atrisk for heart failure.
Mine were nine times that for48 hours.
You are at risk for heartfailure.
Mine were nine times that for48 hours.
So way, the Wolverine storycame to be.
One of the nurses in the ICUwas a member at one of the
(03:32):
CrossFit gyms that I coached at,and if you know anything about
CrossFitters, they're going tofind every reason to tell you
why you should do CrossFit,right?
So he was like, see, this iswhy you guys need to come to
CrossFit.
This is my coach.
Right?
It increases bone density.
Look, he didn't even break abone, right?
Speaker 4 (03:48):
You're not even healed yet and you're already a
testimonial.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
Right.
So all of that to say, I wouldnot have chosen this way to
prove that my methods work formaking you harder to kill, but
it did, it did.
And then, through the recoveryprocess, I dug into everything
to expedite recovery, largelyfrom a guy named Charles
Poliquin and a researcher namedDr Rhonda Patrick and everything
(04:15):
they talked about for helpingexpedite recovery.
So when I was going to physicaltherapy, one of the physical
therapists said man, you'rerecovering like a real life
Wolverine.
So that's both.
Those times really stoked myego and that was great.
But it's um, yeah, I've, I'vedecided to go ahead and lead
into that, uh, that moniker.
You know, I've heard people.
I will often get the commentman, that is extraordinary, but
(04:38):
it's what the human body iscapable of.
There is nothing special ordifferent about me.
It is strength and conditioning.
Get strong and do stuff.
The thing I said earlier aboutmaking you harder to kill Mark
Ripto is an old strengthconditioning coach in this game
has this great quote that saysstronger people are harder to
kill and more useful in general.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
Yeah, yeah, absolutely.
Speaker 4 (05:01):
That's huge.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
Wow, that's huge yeah , and that incident, that
accident would have killed mostpeople.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
Yeah, there was a moment where, well, I don't know
if it would have killed mostpeople, but the way I was hit.
I will say there is an aspectof this where I'm very lucky.
It was before kids.
I used to love just old Jeeps,that's all I would drive and I
will get another one again oncethe kids are older.
But I had just walked aroundthe back of that Jeep.
They have that big spare tirethere.
I had just cleared that tire.
(05:29):
If I had been lined up withthat tire, my rib cage would
have been crushed and that Idon't know if squatting 405
would have helped me with that.
So there is an aspect to itwhere I am lucky.
In one of the last days in theICU, the doctor in charge came
in and I understand her intentwas to help me get right up here
(05:51):
.
She said Mr Mancini, again,everybody, thanks to that nurse,
had heard about why they shoulddo CrossFit.
She said look, there is acertain percentage of the
population who would have losttheir leg in this accident.
The vast majority would havehad a break Because of your
exercise history three severebone bruises, no break.
So you fared this better thanmost and you will recover better
(06:12):
than most, but you need tounderstand.
Those days are behind you andagain, I understand her intent.
But I also knew I know howimportant mindset and vision is.
So I told her who's in chargeof my healthcare.
Or rather, I asked her who's incharge of my healthcare and the
look on her face instantly toldme she thought I was asking
(06:34):
where's the man in charge which,if somebody is making a
statement like that against thefemale doctor, I totally get
being offended by that.
But she said I'm in charge ofyour care.
Are you okay with that?
I said no, ma'am, you're aconsultant, I am in charge of my
healthcare.
I appreciate your opinion.
I will squat 405 again.
And it took me 16 months to getback to that.
Wow yes, ma'am congratulations.
Speaker 4 (06:57):
I mean that's huge just going through that
experience in itself.
You know you're right when youtalk about the, the mindset and
being in the right mental spaceand having the mental capacity
to to understand that you'regoing to heal, your body will
heal itself, that you're goingto do what's necessary to get
there and that you will come outon the other side as well,
having having that goal.
Speaker 3 (07:18):
And not even knowing exactly how at that point, but I
knew just what you said.
I was going to do what wasnecessary Because, I mean, did I
make mistakes along the way?
Absolutely it was.
I was very fortunate enoughagain, my entire exercise
history, the people who coachedand mentored me early in my
career to help me understand theprinciples I needed to put into
play.
But I was in unchartedterritory, right.
(07:40):
So it's yeah, I leaned on mysupport system, which is,
whenever I sit down to talk topotential clients, that's one of
the first things I talk about.
Not goals, not exercise historythat's, of course, important
stuff to talk about but theirsupport system, coaching them on
how to lean on that supportsystem, reminding them they
don't have a support system.
(08:00):
They are part of a supportsystem, so you need to make sure
you're putting into that groupas well.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
Yeah, yeah, absolutely.
I love that.
Speaker 4 (08:07):
That leads to something that I'm curious about
, as you're talking to potentialclients taking on new clients.
What are some things thatyou're looking for within that
individual when you'reconnecting with them?
Because I'm assuming that notevery client is an ideal client
for you to take on, for them towork with you?
Maybe not ideal or the timingis not right, whatever
combination thereof, but whatare you ideally looking for in
(08:30):
individuals when they approachyou to work with them?
Speaker 3 (08:32):
Yeah.
So my mission is to help anyonewith initiative get on the
correct path to their goals,right.
So if they are like busyparents and professionals are
primarily who I work with,because they are just strapped
for time, they need to be first.
Being fit and in better shapedoes not by default make you a
(08:54):
better parent, right, but itobviously makes you more capable
of being a better parent, right.
Then you would be if youweren't in good shape, if you
weren't fit, Because fit is thedefinition of it, is being
suitable for a cause or callingright.
So when someone has that, it'sgoing back to that worthy goal.
(09:15):
If the only thing someone cantell me they want to get out of
their health and fitness is asix pack, I'm less likely to
take that person on as a client,Because I know again, I've been
doing this for a damn near aquarter century when things get
tough, when the schedule getstight and you can only get in a
15-minute workout, that personis going to be like okay, Right
(09:39):
when.
The person who, man, I need tohave energy for my kids, I need
to get this done so that I canbe better for my team at work,
Right.
The person who identifies withbeing fit it isn't just tied up
in the side effects of it Rightbut identifies with I need to be
better for my life, for thosein my life.
(10:00):
That person is going tounderstand okay, I can only get
15 minutes, Awesome, I can get15 minutes and they're going to
get that done, and it's.
I did a social media post onthis a few weeks ago.
I had two clients recently.
One had a death in the familyand the other one had a medical
(10:23):
issue come up in the familywhere they had to go help a
family member move and all thisstuff.
So they both came in to theirappointment saying, coach, I
couldn't get it done this weekand they were talking about it
as if it were a failure.
Right, this took over my life.
I couldn't get it done.
And they were talking aboutlost gains and lost progress and
(10:46):
I said, hold on a second.
Both of them had madeincredible progress for the
months leading up to that.
Right, they were getting almosteverything done, because no one
gets everything done, butgetting almost everything done
made great progress greatimprovements in strength, great
improvements in energy output,more work capacity, all that I
was like this was not a failure.
(11:07):
This was your progress on fullfucking display.
You were better for your familymembers that needed you because
of all the work you'd done.
Stop looking at this as afailure.
Think about how you would havefared this week had you not been
putting in all because thisweek was coming, whether you
knew it or not.
Think about how you would havefared the week differently had
(11:30):
you not put all the work inthose months prior.
And they were both like, yeah,yeah, and they had family
members thanking them for beingthere for you.
Know, man, you really made adifference this week.
That's the type of person I'mlooking for, the person who
wants to be more valuable totheir support system.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
Yeah, I love that.
And when you are taking care ofyourself, you are able to show
up as a better version ofyourself for everybody else your
kids, your family, whoever itis that needs you Exactly your
kids, your family, whoever it isthat needs you Exactly.
Speaker 3 (11:58):
I mean again, we're talking universal principles.
When you get on the airplane,what do they tell you?
Put on your mask.
Before you can help thosearound you, you have to make
sure that you're taken care of.
It is not selfish to do so.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
Now, how much of your training is online?
How much of it is in person?
Is it a blend?
Speaker 3 (12:17):
It's a blend?
The online much of it is inperson.
Is it a blend or it's a blend?
The online side of it is isgrowing every single month.
There's yeah, more and morepeople are, and it's it's great
to see more and more people arelooking for simple yeah, not
easy, right.
Simple, effective ways to to toreally just make change.
Speaker 1 (12:35):
And they're able to do it in their home, Like do
they need to have a full gym intheir house or so I advocate for
getting a gym membership for acouple of different reasons.
Speaker 3 (12:45):
We can talk about need, right.
What do you need?
Well, you need to keepbreathing and you know maybe a
few things beyond that.
Right, I think that was theline from that Tom Hanks movie
Castaway right, I just need tokeep breathing, right.
Tom Hanks movie, castaway right, I just need to keep breathing.
Right, so there's what do youneed.
But then there's your thirdplace.
Right, you have home, you havework.
(13:07):
Everyone has a third place.
For a lot of people it can be abar, right, some type of social
environment that's going to takeyour life, your health, your
support system in one directionfor sure.
Right, having that third placethat fits between the two is
(13:27):
great for, again, more than justthe physical side of health,
being healthy and fit.
Right, because physical healthand mental health are symbiotic.
When you can get them bothworking together, they're
greater than some of the parts,the tools that are available in
most gyms, like strengthtraining.
We talked about the definitionof strength earlier, strength
(13:47):
training.
If we're to break down simplywhat it is, the only difference
between strength training andyoga is external load.
When we're squatting, we'reusing the body to control the
space between two pieces of massthe barbell and the earth.
If you think about how gravityworks, two pieces of mass in
space have a gravitational pullto each other.
So that's what we're working on.
(14:07):
So yoga and strength trainingare both a practice of shapes.
I may be getting a little bitin the weeds here, but Please
continue to go there.
Speaker 4 (14:14):
This is good.
Speaker 3 (14:16):
The gym has the tools that are going to allow you to
be most effective.
With your time right, you canbuild a home gym.
I have one and that's great.
I still have a membership to agym because I work at home and I
live at home and my kids arehere, right.
So having that third place isgreat for a lot of different
reasons.
Now, on that, going into the gym, there's a young lady I was
(14:38):
working with.
This was back in like 2007,2008, when I was up in Virginia.
She was going through thisincredible transformation,
reinvention of herself, and beenworking with her at the point
of the story is like seven,eight months, something like
that.
And you share stories, you makejokes and everything.
We were talking about the crazythings we'd seen in our careers
(15:02):
and at this point, I've beengoing to gyms since the late 80s
, but we've been workingprofessionally on them for
whatever.
It was seven, eight years atthat point.
So she was an event planner forlarge corporations, so she had
seen some crazy things too.
We're going back and forth.
So I had this thing I'd sharedwith people over the years.
I first noticed it in the 90s,before I was in gyms
professionally and way beforesocial media that no matter what
(15:22):
time you went to the gym andagain, this was 2007, 2008, so
before social media as well nomatter what time you went to the
gym 6 am, 7 pm, midnight, 3 inthe morning, doesn't matter If
the gym's open.
Someone is sitting in their car, just sitting there, right?
And so I'd share that withpeople dozens of times and they
(15:43):
would always go.
Oh wow, what do you thinkthey're doing?
Are they stalking someone?
Is it a private detective?
Right?
And she didn't say any of that.
She goes.
Yeah, I know.
I was like what do you mean?
You know she's like.
That was me for three monthsbefore I joined the gym, packed
my gym bag, went to work, cameto that gym parking lot and sat
there in my car trying to talkmyself up to go into the gym for
(16:05):
three months and I couldn't doit.
And me again, having been aprofessional helping people
change lives for almost a decade, at that point, like had this
existential crisis of like I'vebeen walking past people on the
threshold of changing theirlives and I'm going what the
fuck is this weirdo doing, right?
So so I was like oh wow, likethat's just a lesson in
(16:30):
perspective there.
So the heaviest weight in thegym is the front door, and the
more you do it, the easier itgets.
But it's still like.
I still have those days when Idon't want to go work out.
Those are the most importantdays, though, when you're
motivated, when you're ready togo, it's hard to stop me from
getting in there, right.
But when you don't want to justcommit to the first two or
(16:54):
three sets Because what's goingto happen is your sympathetic
side of your nervous, your fightor flight side of your nervous
system turns on, it's time to go, and what you start to feel
after those first few sets feelsa lot like motivation right Now
.
If you don't feel that, thenmaybe something is wrong, maybe
you're on the front of asickness, but you got a couple
(17:15):
of sets in, and that isinfinitely better than getting
nothing in right, I was never agym goer.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
I always had the stuff at home the Peloton, the
treadmill, the weights and allthat.
And then pandemic happened.
I was never a gym goer.
I always had the stuff at homethe peloton, the treadmill, the
weights and all that.
And then pandemic happened.
I was like, woohoo, I can juststay at home.
But now that I go and I do likefive classes a week now it's
like a community.
It's like I know all thesewomen that I'm going to this
class with, I know theinstructor and you build these
friendships.
And then it's like thisaccountability where I'm like I
(17:46):
have to go now, because thenthey're going to call me Like
why didn't you go?
So I think there's a communityas well.
Speaker 3 (17:51):
Getting started is the hardest part and I'll tell
you guys after my accident in2017,.
So I remember in 2018, goingback to the gym for the first
time, Like, again, had beengoing to gyms since the late 80s
, early 90s, been workingprofessionally in them since
2001.
But I remember in 2018, like,the first time, walking in, I
(18:14):
was going into an LA fitness andI remember sitting in a parking
lot thinking about the younglady up in Virginia, Like, yeah,
I feel it now, Like I'm afraidto go in there, Like I was on
still on crutches.
You know it's like.
But I knew again.
I knew I kept thinking I'm incharge of my healthcare.
I'm the only one that can.
No one can do this for you.
(18:34):
No one can be great for you, noone can do the daily acts for
you.
I was the one that had to getit done.
Speaker 1 (18:39):
You're the CEO of your body.
Speaker 3 (18:42):
Yes ma'am.
Speaker 4 (18:48):
Gotta act like it, I love it.
Well, when we talk about, likethe folks that sit in the car
and they have to stokethemselves up, they probably
have some myths that areswirling around in their mind
that you know, thesepreconceived notions or beliefs
that they need to just put torest in order to just, you know,
open the door the heaviestweight that's there.
Let's address some of thosemyths.
Speaker 3 (19:05):
Let's do it.
Speaker 4 (19:07):
I've got it.
I've got it for you.
Speaker 3 (19:09):
Let me tell you exactly where it comes from, or
at least one aspect of it.
Speaker 4 (19:14):
Okay, let's do it yes .
Speaker 3 (19:15):
If you think back to the last 30 or 40 years, any of
the top rated sitcoms has had anepisode where the main
character or characters join agym and they go there and the
person at the front desk is allnice, it's probably an
attractive young lady, right, orsome lady and a buff dude and
they're like oh, thank you somuch, Thank you for coming in,
(19:36):
we want to help you achieve thebest version of yourself.
And then they'll sign the paper.
And then one turns to the otherand goes man, it's really nice
in here.
It's not at all what I thought.
And then they turn back aroundand the same person is there
like do 100 push-ups we owe younow.
And they yell at them andthey're like, oh.
And then for the next 10minutes of the episode they're
(19:57):
walking around like the Tin manand they can't move.
And the moral of that episodeis those people are crazy,
you're fine the way you are, youdon't need to go in there.
So that's what people think thefitness industry is.
Now let me stop and say arethere a-holes in the gym?
Absolutely, guess where else.
There's a-holes Everywhere.
Speaker 1 (20:16):
Everywhere.
Speaker 3 (20:17):
Yes, in the world, exactly In the world, 100%.
Speaker 4 (20:22):
In the world, yeah.
Speaker 3 (20:23):
But the better part, the one important thing to
understand is the vast majorityof the people in there aren't
thinking about you.
They're there to work onthemselves and anybody who wants
to work on themselves wants tobe surrounded by other people
who are working on themselvesand they want that community,
just as you said it, pam.
(20:44):
So it's back to home.
Gym is great.
I have one, I love it, and it'sgreat for families as well,
because my kids they don't knowanything except fitness being a
part of life.
So we are raising them to haveit as part of their identity.
But we're also raising them tomake sure we work on intellect
(21:07):
and mental health and we getinto nature.
Right, it is just physical,mental and emotional development
is what my kids will identifywith.

adults, it's people his age, andthey all look out for each
