Speaker 4 (01:53):
I really feel it does.
Speaker 3 (01:54):
So make sure you guys check us out on Patreon,
sign up, check it out. But you know, speaking of training, Nick,
you just you know, like I said, sometimes you see
you do stuff and you're just like, what the hell's
going on? You're fifty five years old, five hundred for
twenty and a solid twenty you know what I'm saying,
(02:14):
solid five hundred ass pounds and it's like, you know
that at your age, I think that's what's keeping you young.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
Yeah, I agree, it's good to get back to that.
I know, if I can pull five hundred for twenty,
there's eight hundred in there, so I know it's in
there now. I just got to start going back to that,
which I'll ramp up for that probably in March, which
the plan is to do OSG in December and then
get ready for a power to meet in March. After that.
Speaker 4 (02:45):
That's it. What was that, yok?
Speaker 3 (02:48):
You just you just walk with for like what was
it one hundred and twenty.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
Yards, well, one hundred and twenty feet, one hundred and
twenty five feet, and it was seven hundred and thirty pounds.
Just trying to get like time under tension. The goal
is to have the yoke move as little as possible
so it stays smooth the whole way. You get used
to walking that way and moving that way, and those
muscles get strong that way, so then we increase the speed.
(03:11):
It stays leveling fast and that's what creates speed when
you're running with the yolk is the more level you
can keep it and the less it moves, the faster
you're going to go. Period the end, I mean, it
really is smooth as fast. So it was just practicing
and training the core stability part of it, and then
just because it wasn't the goal wasn't to go quick.
(03:32):
The goal was just to go so yeah, I got
a hundred and twenty five feet Yeah yeah.
Speaker 3 (03:38):
It made it look really easy and you hold record
in that so it's like, oh, yeah, you know what
I'm saying. So for those listening, those training, those want
to improve their yoke, it wasn't even that long ago.
We actually did as strong man seminar and Sacramento, and
that was one of the things you were trying to
teach these guys is like, look, so smooth as fast.
You know what I'm saying, you know, there's a little
(04:01):
hit technique in there that needs to be you know,
people need to learn because it makes so much sense.
And seeing people's like eyes light up, Yeah, they're like, oh,
I didn't even think about that, I'm like, well, that's
why you had the record in it.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
Yeah. It's the little things that will make big differences
in the end and at the end of the day,
if you're trying to get to the professional level, shaving
a second or two off of anything will make the
difference between first and fifth place anymore. Yeah, I mean really,
if you watch Bold strongress Man, there's some events that
are decided. You got six guys all finishing an event
within the same second. So little things make a big,
(04:39):
big difference the further up the scale you get. So
it's kind of neat, it's fun. So it's the little
and I like that's the type of stuff I like
to do. I like to come in fix somebody's technique,
help them out, optimize their technique to their body type
and what their advantages or disadvantages are, and then watch
(05:01):
them improve. I mean, that's that's really what I love doing. That.
That is my favorite thing. I also don't mind coaching
that much. But it's I'd rather be working with somebody
than computer. But I'll take some coaching occasionally.
Speaker 4 (05:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
And and and here's the thing too, It's like, because
you're very vocal about it, like press pressing is not
your your your go to you know what I'm saying,
and what I mean President, I'm talking about overhead. You
know what I'm saying. Yeah, that's a whole completely different.
Speaker 4 (05:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
Now you Yeah, every time I see you push on
a bench, it's like, yeah, but you know that you you,
I know you were talking not that long ago about
changing your technique on your on your overhead, especially on
the log because that's that's.
Speaker 4 (05:56):
Going to be coming up here pretty soon too.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
It is.
Speaker 3 (06:02):
We'll just keep that technique in the back pocket.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
And so I I've changed it. So it's working out
pretty well. I'm on pace to do what I want
to do when I get to os G and it's
it's gonna be funny. It's gonna be a lot of fun.
It took a long time to figure out where I
needed to improve and how and why, and it turns
(06:29):
a lot of it turns out it's a mobility issue
in my back and in my upper back. So I'm
working on that and with the technique change, I'm not
it's gonna help.
Speaker 3 (06:44):
That gets what and that that's all it needs to
be said, because that's that's one of the things that's like,
you know, and I know it's where we talk about it. It
comes up all the time, but like you got to
really think about this was about a year, year and
a couple of months you just had your kidney surgery
because of kid cancer, and you know, you were still
(07:05):
pulling weight, but you weren't pulling what you would normally
pull because guess what, you were trying to fix your technique.
You're trying to fix your muscle and balance. And that
was yeah, that was the massive part. But the thing
is is like it seems to have been coming back together.
So like even after a major surgery like kidney, that
kidney removal, you know, almost kind of going through rab though,
(07:27):
like there's all these little different things that that's happened
and let up. But now it's like you're almost right
back to where you was right before the whole situation.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
Yeah, oh yeah for sure. And it's it feels good.
It's neat to kind of be back where us. Still
have to be very careful with the amount of training
I'm doing, and I severely had to increase my fluid
intake because of it, which is fine because the more
fluid you take in, the easier it is on your kidneys.
(07:58):
And I don't know if you guys know this, So
drink a lot of water. That's why you know. Eddie's
always like, got to stay hydrated. He's right, you got
to stay hydrated. I cannot get to hydrated if I do.
I got to run IV bags to make sure, you know,
And it's it's kind of neat. Once you actually figure
(08:20):
it out, they're okay, well that was what I'm at today.
Shut it down, and then your body heels you're ready
to go, and you come back in. Watch the color
of urine. It starts getting dark. You need to get
more fluids in there. When it gets dark. Your kidneys
are struggling. Whether you like it or not. They're struggling.
Is if you got two and it's that dark, it's
(08:41):
you went, there's too much, so you have to adjust that.
And you can simply do that by just taking a pee.
You can actually see very well if it's very clear
or just a light yellow, you're good to go. If
it's dark, you need to get fluids in like, and
your kidneys are working super hard, so you don't want
(09:04):
kidney damage. Stay hydrated and get fluids back in here.
So it also leads me to another thing with the coaching,
because I was just to say, there's a lot of
coaches out there that know how to coach, but they
have no idea how to compete none. That was quite
obvious at the Shah. There's some really high level coaches
that were there that don't know how to compete on
(09:25):
game day, they don't There was rookie mistakes being made
by some of the some of these guys, and then
they sit there and learn, and like somebody will walk
up and he'll tell them what to do, and they learn,
and then they start teaching all their guys that, which
is crap but.
Speaker 4 (09:44):
Under the belt, right.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
And then also there's also some other issues that just
this is something a little different. Uh, there's a strength
coach here in Vegas that ran his ran a punishment
for a hockey team and went way too hard and
too Three of the kids had to go to the hospital.
(10:09):
Two of them got IVS. One this I think this
was on a Thursday and one of the kids got
on a Monday. His creatin ck level was at CK
Creton whatever you want to call it was at thirty
five hundred. They do kidney analysis.
Speaker 4 (10:25):
At five thousand exactly.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
You know it is completely Yeah, well this is an
elite level travel hockey team. They're already in good shape
and you push them to the to that point. Yeah,
you know, that's somebody who needs to be out of coaching.
They have no idea what they're doing.
Speaker 3 (10:41):
Well right off top, you know what I'm saying, Like
kids are going to be kids. Yeah, and like to
put like because we had this conversation and it's like,
you can't push people to the breaking point in any
facet as a punishment. You know what I'm saying, Because
as a strength and conditioning coach, you should know what
limitations are.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
You should know if once you reach muscle failure, you're
at muscle failure.
Speaker 3 (11:04):
That's it.
Speaker 2 (11:05):
Muscle failure is muscle failure. All you're doing is damage.
Anytime the moment they get to muscle failure, you do more.
That's just causing damage that it takes the way longer
to heal from what part of that the coach does
not understand exactly. I mean, you don't have to have
a PhD or any type of degree to figure that
out and know what it means. Yep, you don't. It's
(11:27):
not rocket science. It's all muscles of failure. Okay, well done.
Speaker 4 (11:33):
Exactly and just.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
You know, and it's just and it's the same thing.
You see these guys and you push people through these
super hardware. Look, I mean, conditioning is good, but there's
there's a line in there. Yeah, pushing people's strength levels good,
there's a line in there. That's why you don't lift
over your head. You take your PR jumps and incremental amounts.
You don't see people break a PR by one hundred pounds.
(11:59):
You see people break up PR by one to five
sometimes in extreme levels twenty. Yeah, at advanced levels, you
don't see, you know, a guy come out and squat
nine eighty and then turn around and squat one thousand.
Speaker 4 (12:13):
And eighty exactly exactly.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
You know, three months later, you don't see that. You'll
see the guy squat nine eighty, come and hit one thousand.
That's that's normal, but not one thousand and eighty. So
it's just a lot of the trainers, I see, you know,
I really don't understand a lot of things. They just don't.
And this is why the longevity part of it, This
(12:37):
is where the longevity part of it comes in. You
can train somebody and get them up there really fast.
You can do that to anybody. Yeah, you know, make them,
especially somebody who's willing to work hard. You can throw
that at them, throw a bunch of other stuff in them,
and they can get right up to the top really fast.
I'm not going to be there very long. Yeah, And
that's the whole key to everything in life is longevity.
(12:59):
I mean, I love strength training and doing all this stuff,
but I intend to stay strong until my seventy eighty ninety.
I don't see why I need to walk around and
be frail and small exactly.
Speaker 4 (13:13):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (13:14):
You've changed the like you as a physical specimen have
changed the level of what strength can be at this age.
And you'll continue to do that, you know what I'm saying.
And it's all because it's it's being consistent, it's being
like reasonable and approaching things the correct way. That's one
of those things is like you know, you're very very
(13:35):
front up front about like this is how I'm doing this,
this is the way I'm doing this, and this is
the reason why I'm doing this, And you explain this
to a lot of people all the time, all the time.
Like I said, you are very generous with your time,
You're very generous with your knowledge, and you're very generous
with helping everyone around you when you see the need.
Speaker 4 (13:52):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (13:53):
And that's one of those things is like you know,
you like, it's hard to stand back and watch somebody
do something that you don't you like, that doesn't make
sense to you, m hm. And you know, whether people
want to hear it or not, you always try, you
know what I'm saying, and you know, and those who
do listen have dramatically made and like won there because
(14:15):
I specifically need a few times at OSG were someone'st
what should I do?
Speaker 4 (14:20):
How should I do this?
Speaker 3 (14:21):
Or like you even dropping the hint like hey, if
I was you, this is how I do it. And
guess what when people heed that what you said, they've
won that event.
Speaker 2 (14:34):
Mm or they've done pretty well in it, which is
awesome exactly. Yeah. So anyway, Yeah, that's that's my rant
for the day. If you're if your coach has to
talk to you like a doctor to show that they
are smart and know what they're doing, you got the
wrong coach. The doctor should be the coach should be
(14:55):
able to talk to you in a way that you
understand without over complicating things. You should be able to
take a very complex things and simplify them down so
that you can understand and talk to you at that level. Now,
if you're educated in the medical field, you should be
able to have that conversation with you as well. But
the biggest thing is being able to know what you're
(15:16):
doing and be able to relate it to people without
sitting there and saying things that they really have to
go look up or understand. You communicate in a relatable way,
and that makes you a better coach. Not that you
don't need to prove how smart you're right to somebody.
You just need to be able to relay your good
(15:36):
information to them so that they can learn how to
do it and go execute. That's it. That's all you
need to do as a coach, And then as a
coach at a competition, you need to know how to
do all the events that they've done and have all
the problems that they could be facing going into there
and know how to fix them all going in, Like
when you're going into oh, I don't know, stone over bar,
(16:00):
you get in an argument with a coach and everybody's
using the wrong attacking. Oh, we'll seem like, dude, I
was at the Arnold, I did the I did this
in the Arnold twice, got a pretty good idea how
to do it. He couldn't even lift the first stone.
So it's like yeah, yeah, so anyway.
Speaker 3 (16:19):
It happens like that, And that's one of those things,
like I said, it's like, you know, you can only try,
and you always do.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
Yeah, you just have patience for me. You want to listen, listen,
you want to listen, don't listen. It's up to you, dude.
It's I'm going to.
Speaker 3 (16:34):
Go on and trust me, we're about to be at
OSG and it's about to be a thing.
Speaker 4 (16:39):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
That's gonna be a lot of fun.
Speaker 4 (16:42):
That's gonna be a lot of fun. Exactly. You know
we strategy, Yes she.
Speaker 3 (16:47):
Did, and those sandbags wasn't even that long ago. You know,
you were like, I gotta start here because and now
you know you're picking up the big boy and dragon.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
Mm hmm yep.
Speaker 3 (17:01):
So you know, honestly, too many people like like I,
you know, you know we I follow a lot of
straw man. I follow a lot of you know, I
rarely see anybody doing the tier drags the way you do.
And the same thing with the zerzer squats is like,
all of a sudden, I'm seeing a few people hitting
zercher squats right now, and it's that's something you've preached
and that the drags are another thing that you've always
preached too.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
Yeah, you know, well it's conditioning, but the condition and
muscle for the time of the event. You know, you
don't need to do super you know, a bunch of
cardio that lasts longer than ninety seconds, you need to
do that type of You need to do cardio that
is between forty five seconds in a minute. That's extremely taxing.
(17:45):
That makes you go all out carry and drag will
do that or just a drag. Just keep dragging because
that will build the cardiovascular endurance you need for a
strong man contest. That's sports specific training. The thing is, though,
is you get used to functioning at one hundred percent
for that long of a time. Most people can't do that,
or even seventy or eighty percent, most people can't do that.
(18:06):
So then when you go do something like that, and
then say you do a carrying drag, and you do
like two or three of those, and then you go
get in the ring and do some jiu jitsu, you're
going at like forty fifty percent strength messing with somebody.
You can turn that on into the eighty ninety percent
and leave it on for like thirty forty seconds. Most
guys will only last ten to twenty, so you leave
(18:29):
that on for twenty, so you got twenty seconds where
the guys gassed out. That's that's the goal behind a
lot of that type of stuff and how things go
from one sport to the other. But it's it's a
different type of conditioning. But yeah, I love the drags,
I really do.
Speaker 3 (18:44):
They're just miserable, Yeah, they are, you know what I'm saying.
I used to across the street from Nick. There's a
young kid that wanted to start lifting. He started lifting it.
He actually started getting there pretty strong, and man, when
you would say we're doing drags, his face would just
drop and he's but he would knock him out.
Speaker 4 (19:04):
Yeah, yeah, he's a good.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
I feel bad now because like I'm in my training zone.
Speaker 3 (19:12):
It's like oh yeah, yeah, no no that but that
that that that's part of it. Because like I said,
even when we first started, when to you know, I
come and you're like, look, it's not at you. This
is what I gotta do. This is my mindset, you know.
I no talking, no laughing, no bullshitting. This is what
(19:35):
I'm doing right now. Because that's how that that's the
level intensity that it takes for me to perform at
this level. And you know, and you know, like I said,
that's understandable. But the thing is is like you can't
have distractions when you're trying to lead up to something
like OSG right.
Speaker 2 (19:51):
You know, like I get I really get that way
on spots. Yeah, you know something that you can die
when you're stepping out of exactly the wait in your back.
I'm very focused and don't want any goofing around. I
don't want attention going anywhere else but on what's going on.
Once the squats are over, have fun because I can
turn around and focus on what I'm doing. I don't
(20:12):
have to put the fight or flight into you know,
the Medley. YEP. I could sit there and like not
want to do it, and go this is gonna suck.
But I don't have to put the fight or flight
into that. When I'm stepping back, you know, with eight
hundred nine hundred pounds back in the day, I don't
want to hear people laughing in the background or moving
(20:35):
around or doing stuff. I want focus being on what
I'm doing I need to. I don't want my attention
going over here when I'm trying to put everything when
I need to put a thousand percent of my focus
right here, and once it's over, it's over, then we're good.
Speaker 4 (20:51):
I just.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
Five minutes, then we're good. Once I start wrapping my knees,
everybody shuts up when I'm done. When I'm done, when
then knee raps come off, everybody's good. When you go
back to it. It's not rocket science. It's not hard
to figure out. But that's the kind of level of
concentration and focus I want going on now. If I'm
out at a contest or whatever, and I'm in that
(21:14):
kind of zone, I don't notice anything else because they
don't have to pay attention to anything. The kids aren't here,
there's nothing else going on. I'm not at home, so
I don't have to worry about the things that are
around me at home. That's so it's a different mindset
when you're out.
Speaker 3 (21:30):
Yeah, And it's a completely different mindset because like I said,
you've talked about this all times, like you don't rely
on music, you don't rely on anything else. It's like, no,
this is my focus, this is my attention. Especially when
it comes to squats and you're and you're pushing the
numbers that you push. It's like, you know it, practice
makes perfect. But the thing is is like, no, if
I line myself up like this every single time, it'll
(21:51):
always be like this every single time, and you can
do it safely, you know what I'm saying, because just
like I said, I see a lot of people, especially
in gyms and stuff like that. You know, there's just
as they're not lined in or like they're like, you know, like,
how much more effort could you put into this if
you really focus and dialed it in the way you do,
Because like I said, that's that's what you do.
Speaker 4 (22:10):
You dial it in.
Speaker 3 (22:11):
And when you dial it in, we can all see it.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
It's almost it's almost like it's almost like going into
a meditation without going into a meditation. So except for
we're in meditation, you accept everything around you and you're
more in touch with everything that's around you. It's almost
(22:35):
the opposite where you close everything off and it's just
one single point, if that makes a difference. It's almost
like the polar opposite, but twice the focus.
Speaker 3 (22:44):
Yeah, no, nd percent. It's what people always talk about,
that tunnel vision. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 4 (22:49):
It's like I can only see.
Speaker 3 (22:50):
This one specific direction and everything else is gone, you
know what I'm saying, And like the seriousness of squatch
should be taken like that. At least I always feel,
you know what I'm saying, Like even when I'm squatting,
you know, it's like, you know, I'm tucking myself in.
I'm like I'm making sure, like you know, like I
have my own little ritual, which we all do.
Speaker 4 (23:08):
You know.
Speaker 3 (23:08):
We set our feet, set our hands, lock our you know,
lock back in and and go in. But the thing
is is like, you know, like it's trying to get
that tunnel vision to fucking maximum effort.
Speaker 4 (23:20):
M hm, yep, that's it.
Speaker 2 (23:23):
Absolutely so. But so that's coming up that looks cool.
Looking forward to going out and hanging out here in
Vegas at the Giants Live show. This could be here
yes September twenty eight. That's gonna be a lot of
fun getting go see the guys and hang out with
those guys a little bit.
Speaker 4 (23:39):
Again, just at the shop, you know, so it'd be good.
Speaker 2 (23:45):
I think there'll probably be a range day, probably like
either Thursday or Friday, where a bunch of us will
go to the range seven or two and do some shooting.
Speaker 4 (23:55):
So that would will always be fun.
Speaker 2 (23:58):
That'll be a lot of fun.
Speaker 4 (23:59):
That's it.
Speaker 3 (24:00):
A whole bunch of strong men hold a fifty cal
you know what I'm saying. You know, it's always did
like I think Mitchell. I think that was like the
best one. I like watching him do it because he
was like, why exactly.
Speaker 2 (24:17):
Well, sometimes you need to stop a tank. That's it.
Speaker 3 (24:25):
Nick, We're getting ready to get out of here. But uh,
you know, I want to let people know Nick likes
to watch a lot of movies, and Nick, I want
to talk about what's the movie that you've seen on
Amazon Prime or on a streaming service that you would
like just to recommend or that you.
Speaker 2 (24:40):
See, Uh, what's the one I just saw with Michael
Keaton where he's a hit man but he's getting dementia.
Speaker 3 (24:49):
What that sounds great?
Speaker 4 (24:51):
Man that's getting dementia.
Speaker 2 (24:53):
A hit man that's getting dementia and his kid kills
an adult that had had sex with his underage daughter.
Speaker 3 (25:04):
What now that?
Speaker 2 (25:06):
And the guy was grooming her and stuff, and he
just in a fit and raise goes to visit the
guy and kills him. And so he tries to set
he's trying to fix all that before he can't remember anything. Yeah,
and then you have to figure out whether he's actually
messing around because the guy was that smart and so
now it's acting like he has dementia. When it's nice?
Speaker 3 (25:28):
Is it pretty new?
Speaker 2 (25:30):
Yeah? It's pretty new.
Speaker 3 (25:31):
All right, I'm looking here, says Knox goes away.
Speaker 2 (25:35):
Knox goes away. That's it there he Gonox goes away.
That was actually pretty good. I got to kick out
of that one.
Speaker 3 (25:41):
Well, I got a sixty five on the Rotten Tomato,
and uh, I'm definitely gonna watch. Yeah, it says diagnosed
with the rapid evolution from dementia. A contract killer that
gets redemption for himself, saving his life of the Life
of his Strange Son.
Speaker 2 (26:00):
Yep, yep. So it's pretty neat.
Speaker 3 (26:04):
Okay, we're recommending that it's on HBO Max. That's where
you can watch it. It also says you can watch
it on Amazon Prime, who we have a premium subscription. Yeah,
so as far as as you can pretty much get
it on all streaming services. That's what it shows right there.
So make sure you guys will check it out. I
(26:25):
think this is a little little segment that will add
in every so often just to kind of because like I.
Speaker 2 (26:29):
Said that the Rings one for Lord of the Rings
the new series.
Speaker 3 (26:35):
Oh the Town, is that the Ring of Power? Or
is the Rings of Power? Yeah? I think we actually
watched the first couple of episodes together. You know. That's
one of the things that I always enjoyed that, like
Mint has an eclectic taste in movies and shows, so like,
like I didn't know I like F one Racing until
(26:56):
we started watching that. I was like, oh, this is
like legit fucking great and on that we watched the
whole season on Netflix.
Speaker 2 (27:03):
Mm hmm.
Speaker 4 (27:04):
It was good, you know, yeah, exactly, so.
Speaker 2 (27:08):
It was good. It's pretty neat. I mean, just but
the Rings when getting to see how the elves got
the rings, how the dwarves got the rings.
Speaker 3 (27:16):
And the rings, how Sarn turned into Sarahn. You know
what I'm saying. Just off of that, like, and that's
where the last episode that I seen is when Mordor
exploded it became Moredor.
Speaker 2 (27:28):
I think they released the first three seasons the season
the first three episodes of season two.
Speaker 3 (27:34):
So okay, I'll go back and watch that too then,
because I said I vaguely, because we watched it a
while ago.
Speaker 4 (27:40):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (27:42):
I go after a long training session and after you know,
eating and getting done, it's like, let's see what's on
you know what.
Speaker 4 (27:48):
I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (27:51):
Exactly exactly all right, Nick, well let's lead ourselves out
of here. Uh you know, we have some words and
and you know, and makes true to him?
Speaker 2 (28:02):
Yeah, well, you know, just everything comes down to focus
and what kind of attention you want to put onto it,
and surround yourself with good people. You know, if you're
going to get a coach, research the coach, you know,
and not just maybe even go watch the coach in action,
like when he's coaching people. See see stuff like that,
(28:23):
because you can go to Strawman coaches and see see
the ones doing like Travis Hortmeyer is awesome. Yeah, I
mean totally awesome. He would be a phenomenal coach for
anybody more experience knows the all the ins and out
stuff like that. But go go research, do your due
diligence when hiring a coach. Just don't hire them because
somebody told you the guy was good, or he's training
(28:45):
this guy, this guy, and this guy because he might
not be charging them.
Speaker 4 (28:48):
Yeah, so.
Speaker 2 (28:52):
Just pay some attention to that. Focus on everything that
you do that you want to succeed at. And he's
always trained hard. Transmarter to you the best YouTube I'll do.
Speaker 1 (29:17):
You're listening to the best experience would make it best
You're listening to the best experience with the thick best show.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
Okay, anyway, go ahead and take it off.
Speaker 3 (00:48):

Speaker 3 (01:54):
So make sure you guys check us out on Patreon,
sign up, check it out. But you know, speaking of training, Nick,
you just you know, like I said, sometimes you see
you do stuff and you're just like, what the hell's
going on? You're fifty five years old, five hundred for
twenty and a solid twenty you know what I'm saying,
(02:14):
solid five hundred ass pounds and it's like, you know
that at your age, I think that's what's keeping you young.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
Yeah, I agree, it's good to get back to that.
I know, if I can pull five hundred for twenty,
there's eight hundred in there, so I know it's in
there now. I just got to start going back to that,
which I'll ramp up for that probably in March, which
the plan is to do OSG in December and then
get ready for a power to meet in March. After that.
Speaker 4 (02:45):
That's it. What was that, yok?
Speaker 3 (02:48):
You just you just walk with for like what was
it one hundred and twenty.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
Yards, well, one hundred and twenty feet, one hundred and
twenty five feet, and it was seven hundred and thirty pounds.
Just trying to get like time under tension. The goal
is to have the yoke move as little as possible
so it stays smooth the whole way. You get used
to walking that way and moving that way, and those
muscles get strong that way, so then we increase the speed.
(03:11):
It stays leveling fast and that's what creates speed when
you're running with the yolk is the more level you
can keep it and the less it moves, the faster
you're going to go. Period the end, I mean, it
really is smooth as fast. So it was just practicing
and training the core stability part of it, and then
just because it wasn't the goal wasn't to go quick.
(03:32):
The goal was just to go so yeah, I got
a hundred and twenty five feet Yeah yeah.
Speaker 3 (03:38):
It made it look really easy and you hold record
in that so it's like, oh, yeah, you know what
I'm saying. So for those listening, those training, those want
to improve their yoke, it wasn't even that long ago.
We actually did as strong man seminar and Sacramento, and
that was one of the things you were trying to
teach these guys is like, look, so smooth as fast.
You know what I'm saying, you know, there's a little
(04:01):
hit technique in there that needs to be you know,
people need to learn because it makes so much sense.
And seeing people's like eyes light up, Yeah, they're like, oh,
I didn't even think about that, I'm like, well, that's
why you had the record in it.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
Yeah. It's the little things that will make big differences
in the end and at the end of the day,
if you're trying to get to the professional level, shaving
a second or two off of anything will make the
difference between first and fifth place anymore. Yeah, I mean really,
if you watch Bold strongress Man, there's some events that
are decided. You got six guys all finishing an event
within the same second. So little things make a big,
(04:39):
big difference the further up the scale you get. So
it's kind of neat, it's fun. So it's the little
and I like that's the type of stuff I like
to do. I like to come in fix somebody's technique,
help them out, optimize their technique to their body type
and what their advantages or disadvantages are, and then watch
(05:01):
them improve. I mean, that's that's really what I love doing. That.
That is my favorite thing. I also don't mind coaching
that much. But it's I'd rather be working with somebody
than computer. But I'll take some coaching occasionally.
Speaker 4 (05:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
And and and here's the thing too, It's like, because
you're very vocal about it, like press pressing is not
your your your go to you know what I'm saying,
and what I mean President, I'm talking about overhead. You
know what I'm saying. Yeah, that's a whole completely different.
Speaker 4 (05:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
Now you Yeah, every time I see you push on
a bench, it's like, yeah, but you know that you you,
I know you were talking not that long ago about
changing your technique on your on your overhead, especially on
the log because that's that's.
Speaker 4 (05:56):
Going to be coming up here pretty soon too.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
It is.
Speaker 3 (06:02):
We'll just keep that technique in the back pocket.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
And so I I've changed it. So it's working out
pretty well. I'm on pace to do what I want
to do when I get to os G and it's
it's gonna be funny. It's gonna be a lot of fun.
It took a long time to figure out where I
needed to improve and how and why, and it turns
(06:29):
a lot of it turns out it's a mobility issue
in my back and in my upper back. So I'm
working on that and with the technique change, I'm not
it's gonna help.
Speaker 3 (06:44):
That gets what and that that's all it needs to
be said, because that's that's one of the things that's like,
you know, and I know it's where we talk about it. It
comes up all the time, but like you got to
really think about this was about a year, year and
a couple of months you just had your kidney surgery
because of kid cancer, and you know, you were still
(07:05):
pulling weight, but you weren't pulling what you would normally
pull because guess what, you were trying to fix your technique.
You're trying to fix your muscle and balance. And that
was yeah, that was the massive part. But the thing
is is like it seems to have been coming back together.
So like even after a major surgery like kidney, that
kidney removal, you know, almost kind of going through rab though,
(07:27):
like there's all these little different things that that's happened
and let up. But now it's like you're almost right
back to where you was right before the whole situation.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
Yeah, oh yeah for sure. And it's it feels good.
It's neat to kind of be back where us. Still
have to be very careful with the amount of training
I'm doing, and I severely had to increase my fluid
intake because of it, which is fine because the more
fluid you take in, the easier it is on your kidneys.
(07:58):
And I don't know if you guys know this, So
drink a lot of water. That's why you know. Eddie's
always like, got to stay hydrated. He's right, you got
to stay hydrated. I cannot get to hydrated if I do.
I got to run IV bags to make sure, you know,
And it's it's kind of neat. Once you actually figure
(08:20):
it out, they're okay, well that was what I'm at today.
Shut it down, and then your body heels you're ready
to go, and you come back in. Watch the color
of urine. It starts getting dark. You need to get
more fluids in there. When it gets dark. Your kidneys
are struggling. Whether you like it or not. They're struggling.
Is if you got two and it's that dark, it's
(08:41):
you went, there's too much, so you have to adjust that.
And you can simply do that by just taking a pee.
You can actually see very well if it's very clear
or just a light yellow, you're good to go. If
it's dark, you need to get fluids in like, and
your kidneys are working super hard, so you don't want
(09:04):
kidney damage. Stay hydrated and get fluids back in here.
So it also leads me to another thing with the coaching,
because I was just to say, there's a lot of
coaches out there that know how to coach, but they
have no idea how to compete none. That was quite
obvious at the Shah. There's some really high level coaches
that were there that don't know how to compete on
(09:25):
game day, they don't There was rookie mistakes being made
by some of the some of these guys, and then
they sit there and learn, and like somebody will walk
up and he'll tell them what to do, and they learn,
and then they start teaching all their guys that, which
is crap but.
Speaker 4 (09:44):
Under the belt, right.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
And then also there's also some other issues that just
this is something a little different. Uh, there's a strength
coach here in Vegas that ran his ran a punishment
for a hockey team and went way too hard and
too Three of the kids had to go to the hospital.
(10:09):
Two of them got IVS. One this I think this
was on a Thursday and one of the kids got
on a Monday. His creatin ck level was at CK
Creton whatever you want to call it was at thirty
five hundred. They do kidney analysis.
Speaker 4 (10:25):
At five thousand exactly.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
You know it is completely Yeah, well this is an
elite level travel hockey team. They're already in good shape
and you push them to the to that point. Yeah,
you know, that's somebody who needs to be out of coaching.
They have no idea what they're doing.
Speaker 3 (10:41):
Well right off top, you know what I'm saying, Like
kids are going to be kids. Yeah, and like to
put like because we had this conversation and it's like,
you can't push people to the breaking point in any
facet as a punishment. You know what I'm saying, Because
as a strength and conditioning coach, you should know what
limitations are.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
You should know if once you reach muscle failure, you're
at muscle failure.
Speaker 3 (11:04):
That's it.
Speaker 2 (11:05):
Muscle failure is muscle failure. All you're doing is damage.
Anytime the moment they get to muscle failure, you do more.
That's just causing damage that it takes the way longer
to heal from what part of that the coach does
not understand exactly. I mean, you don't have to have
a PhD or any type of degree to figure that
out and know what it means. Yep, you don't. It's
(11:27):
not rocket science. It's all muscles of failure. Okay, well done.
Speaker 4 (11:33):
Exactly and just.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
You know, and it's just and it's the same thing.
You see these guys and you push people through these
super hardware. Look, I mean, conditioning is good, but there's
there's a line in there. Yeah, pushing people's strength levels good,
there's a line in there. That's why you don't lift
over your head. You take your PR jumps and incremental amounts.
You don't see people break a PR by one hundred pounds.
(11:59):
You see people break up PR by one to five
sometimes in extreme levels twenty. Yeah, at advanced levels, you
don't see, you know, a guy come out and squat
nine eighty and then turn around and squat one thousand.
Speaker 4 (12:13):
And eighty exactly exactly.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
You know, three months later, you don't see that. You'll
see the guy squat nine eighty, come and hit one thousand.
That's that's normal, but not one thousand and eighty. So
it's just a lot of the trainers, I see, you know,
I really don't understand a lot of things. They just don't.
And this is why the longevity part of it, This
(12:37):
is where the longevity part of it comes in. You
can train somebody and get them up there really fast.
You can do that to anybody. Yeah, you know, make them,
especially somebody who's willing to work hard. You can throw
that at them, throw a bunch of other stuff in them,
and they can get right up to the top really fast.
I'm not going to be there very long. Yeah, And
that's the whole key to everything in life is longevity.
(12:59):
I mean, I love strength training and doing all this stuff,
but I intend to stay strong until my seventy eighty ninety.
I don't see why I need to walk around and
be frail and small exactly.
Speaker 4 (13:13):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (13:14):
You've changed the like you as a physical specimen have
changed the level of what strength can be at this age.
And you'll continue to do that, you know what I'm saying.
And it's all because it's it's being consistent, it's being
like reasonable and approaching things the correct way. That's one
of those things is like you know, you're very very
(13:35):
front up front about like this is how I'm doing this,
this is the way I'm doing this, and this is
the reason why I'm doing this, And you explain this
to a lot of people all the time, all the time.
Like I said, you are very generous with your time,
You're very generous with your knowledge, and you're very generous
with helping everyone around you when you see the need.
Speaker 4 (13:52):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (13:53):
And that's one of those things is like you know,
you like, it's hard to stand back and watch somebody
do something that you don't you like, that doesn't make
sense to you, m hm. And you know, whether people
want to hear it or not, you always try, you
know what I'm saying, and you know, and those who
do listen have dramatically made and like won there because
(14:15):
I specifically need a few times at OSG were someone'st
what should I do?
Speaker 4 (14:20):
How should I do this?
Speaker 3 (14:21):
Or like you even dropping the hint like hey, if
I was you, this is how I do it. And
guess what when people heed that what you said, they've
won that event.
Speaker 2 (14:34):
Mm or they've done pretty well in it, which is
awesome exactly. Yeah. So anyway, Yeah, that's that's my rant
for the day. If you're if your coach has to
talk to you like a doctor to show that they
are smart and know what they're doing, you got the
wrong coach. The doctor should be the coach should be
(14:55):
able to talk to you in a way that you
understand without over complicating things. You should be able to
take a very complex things and simplify them down so
that you can understand and talk to you at that level. Now,
if you're educated in the medical field, you should be
able to have that conversation with you as well. But
the biggest thing is being able to know what you're
(15:16):
doing and be able to relate it to people without
sitting there and saying things that they really have to
go look up or understand. You communicate in a relatable way,
and that makes you a better coach. Not that you
don't need to prove how smart you're right to somebody.
You just need to be able to relay your good
(15:36):
information to them so that they can learn how to
do it and go execute. That's it. That's all you
need to do as a coach, And then as a
coach at a competition, you need to know how to
do all the events that they've done and have all
the problems that they could be facing going into there
and know how to fix them all going in, Like
when you're going into oh, I don't know, stone over bar,
(16:00):
you get in an argument with a coach and everybody's
using the wrong attacking. Oh, we'll seem like, dude, I
was at the Arnold, I did the I did this
in the Arnold twice, got a pretty good idea how
to do it. He couldn't even lift the first stone.
So it's like yeah, yeah, so anyway.
Speaker 3 (16:19):
It happens like that, And that's one of those things,
like I said, it's like, you know, you can only try,
and you always do.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
Yeah, you just have patience for me. You want to listen, listen,
you want to listen, don't listen. It's up to you, dude.
It's I'm going to.
Speaker 3 (16:34):
Go on and trust me, we're about to be at
OSG and it's about to be a thing.
Speaker 4 (16:39):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
That's gonna be a lot of fun.
Speaker 4 (16:42):
That's gonna be a lot of fun. Exactly. You know
we strategy, Yes she.
Speaker 3 (16:47):
Did, and those sandbags wasn't even that long ago. You know,
you were like, I gotta start here because and now
you know you're picking up the big boy and dragon.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
Mm hmm yep.
Speaker 3 (17:01):
So you know, honestly, too many people like like I,
you know, you know we I follow a lot of
straw man. I follow a lot of you know, I
rarely see anybody doing the tier drags the way you do.
And the same thing with the zerzer squats is like,
all of a sudden, I'm seeing a few people hitting
zercher squats right now, and it's that's something you've preached
and that the drags are another thing that you've always
preached too.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
Yeah, you know, well it's conditioning, but the condition and
muscle for the time of the event. You know, you
don't need to do super you know, a bunch of
cardio that lasts longer than ninety seconds, you need to
do that type of You need to do cardio that
is between forty five seconds in a minute. That's extremely taxing.
(17:45):
That makes you go all out carry and drag will
do that or just a drag. Just keep dragging because
that will build the cardiovascular endurance you need for a
strong man contest. That's sports specific training. The thing is, though,
is you get used to functioning at one hundred percent
for that long of a time. Most people can't do that,
or even seventy or eighty percent, most people can't do that.
(18:06):
So then when you go do something like that, and
then say you do a carrying drag, and you do
like two or three of those, and then you go
get in the ring and do some jiu jitsu, you're
going at like forty fifty percent strength messing with somebody.
You can turn that on into the eighty ninety percent
and leave it on for like thirty forty seconds. Most
guys will only last ten to twenty, so you leave
(18:29):
that on for twenty, so you got twenty seconds where
the guys gassed out. That's that's the goal behind a
lot of that type of stuff and how things go
from one sport to the other. But it's it's a
different type of conditioning. But yeah, I love the drags,
I really do.
Speaker 3 (18:44):
They're just miserable, Yeah, they are, you know what I'm saying.
I used to across the street from Nick. There's a
young kid that wanted to start lifting. He started lifting it.
He actually started getting there pretty strong, and man, when
you would say we're doing drags, his face would just
drop and he's but he would knock him out.
Speaker 4 (19:04):
Yeah, yeah, he's a good.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
I feel bad now because like I'm in my training zone.
Speaker 3 (19:12):
It's like oh yeah, yeah, no no that but that
that that that's part of it. Because like I said,
even when we first started, when to you know, I
come and you're like, look, it's not at you. This
is what I gotta do. This is my mindset, you know.
I no talking, no laughing, no bullshitting. This is what
(19:35):
I'm doing right now. Because that's how that that's the
level intensity that it takes for me to perform at
this level. And you know, and you know, like I said,
that's understandable. But the thing is is like you can't
have distractions when you're trying to lead up to something
like OSG right.
Speaker 2 (19:51):
You know, like I get I really get that way
on spots. Yeah, you know something that you can die
when you're stepping out of exactly the wait in your back.
I'm very focused and don't want any goofing around. I
don't want attention going anywhere else but on what's going on.
Once the squats are over, have fun because I can
turn around and focus on what I'm doing. I don't
(20:12):
have to put the fight or flight into you know,
the Medley. YEP. I could sit there and like not
want to do it, and go this is gonna suck.
But I don't have to put the fight or flight
into that. When I'm stepping back, you know, with eight
hundred nine hundred pounds back in the day, I don't
want to hear people laughing in the background or moving
(20:35):
around or doing stuff. I want focus being on what
I'm doing I need to. I don't want my attention
going over here when I'm trying to put everything when
I need to put a thousand percent of my focus
right here, and once it's over, it's over, then we're good.
Speaker 4 (20:51):
I just.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
Five minutes, then we're good. Once I start wrapping my knees,
everybody shuts up when I'm done. When I'm done, when
then knee raps come off, everybody's good. When you go
back to it. It's not rocket science. It's not hard
to figure out. But that's the kind of level of
concentration and focus I want going on now. If I'm
out at a contest or whatever, and I'm in that
(21:14):
kind of zone, I don't notice anything else because they
don't have to pay attention to anything. The kids aren't here,
there's nothing else going on. I'm not at home, so
I don't have to worry about the things that are
around me at home. That's so it's a different mindset
when you're out.
Speaker 3 (21:30):
Yeah, And it's a completely different mindset because like I said,
you've talked about this all times, like you don't rely
on music, you don't rely on anything else. It's like, no,
this is my focus, this is my attention. Especially when
it comes to squats and you're and you're pushing the
numbers that you push. It's like, you know it, practice
makes perfect. But the thing is is like, no, if
I line myself up like this every single time, it'll
(21:51):
always be like this every single time, and you can
do it safely, you know what I'm saying, because just
like I said, I see a lot of people, especially
in gyms and stuff like that. You know, there's just
as they're not lined in or like they're like, you know, like,
how much more effort could you put into this if
you really focus and dialed it in the way you do,
Because like I said, that's that's what you do.
Speaker 4 (22:10):
You dial it in.
Speaker 3 (22:11):
And when you dial it in, we can all see it.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
It's almost it's almost like it's almost like going into
a meditation without going into a meditation. So except for
we're in meditation, you accept everything around you and you're
more in touch with everything that's around you. It's almost
(22:35):
the opposite where you close everything off and it's just
one single point, if that makes a difference. It's almost
like the polar opposite, but twice the focus.
Speaker 3 (22:44):
Yeah, no, nd percent. It's what people always talk about,
that tunnel vision. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 4 (22:49):
It's like I can only see.
Speaker 3 (22:50):
This one specific direction and everything else is gone, you
know what I'm saying, And like the seriousness of squatch
should be taken like that. At least I always feel,
you know what I'm saying, Like even when I'm squatting,
you know, it's like, you know, I'm tucking myself in.
I'm like I'm making sure, like you know, like I
have my own little ritual, which we all do.
Speaker 4 (23:08):
You know.
Speaker 3 (23:08):
We set our feet, set our hands, lock our you know,
lock back in and and go in. But the thing
is is like, you know, like it's trying to get
that tunnel vision to fucking maximum effort.
Speaker 4 (23:20):
M hm, yep, that's it.
Speaker 2 (23:23):
Absolutely so. But so that's coming up that looks cool.
Looking forward to going out and hanging out here in
Vegas at the Giants Live show. This could be here
yes September twenty eight. That's gonna be a lot of
fun getting go see the guys and hang out with
those guys a little bit.
Speaker 4 (23:39):
Again, just at the shop, you know, so it'd be good.
Speaker 2 (23:45):
I think there'll probably be a range day, probably like
either Thursday or Friday, where a bunch of us will
go to the range seven or two and do some shooting.
Speaker 4 (23:55):
So that would will always be fun.
Speaker 2 (23:58):
That'll be a lot of fun.
Speaker 4 (23:59):
That's it.
Speaker 3 (24:00):
A whole bunch of strong men hold a fifty cal
you know what I'm saying. You know, it's always did
like I think Mitchell. I think that was like the
best one. I like watching him do it because he
was like, why exactly.
Speaker 2 (24:17):
Well, sometimes you need to stop a tank. That's it.
Speaker 3 (24:25):
Nick, We're getting ready to get out of here. But uh,
you know, I want to let people know Nick likes
to watch a lot of movies, and Nick, I want
to talk about what's the movie that you've seen on
Amazon Prime or on a streaming service that you would
like just to recommend or that you.
Speaker 2 (24:40):
See, Uh, what's the one I just saw with Michael
Keaton where he's a hit man but he's getting dementia.
Speaker 3 (24:49):
What that sounds great?
Speaker 4 (24:51):
Man that's getting dementia.
Speaker 2 (24:53):
A hit man that's getting dementia and his kid kills
an adult that had had sex with his underage daughter.
Speaker 3 (25:04):
What now that?
Speaker 2 (25:06):
And the guy was grooming her and stuff, and he
just in a fit and raise goes to visit the
guy and kills him. And so he tries to set
he's trying to fix all that before he can't remember anything. Yeah,
and then you have to figure out whether he's actually
messing around because the guy was that smart and so
now it's acting like he has dementia. When it's nice?
Speaker 3 (25:28):
Is it pretty new?
Speaker 2 (25:30):
Yeah? It's pretty new.
Speaker 3 (25:31):
All right, I'm looking here, says Knox goes away.
Speaker 2 (25:35):
Knox goes away. That's it there he Gonox goes away.
That was actually pretty good. I got to kick out
of that one.
Speaker 3 (25:41):
Well, I got a sixty five on the Rotten Tomato,
and uh, I'm definitely gonna watch. Yeah, it says diagnosed
with the rapid evolution from dementia. A contract killer that
gets redemption for himself, saving his life of the Life
of his Strange Son.
Speaker 2 (26:00):
Yep, yep. So it's pretty neat.
Speaker 3 (26:04):
Okay, we're recommending that it's on HBO Max. That's where
you can watch it. It also says you can watch
it on Amazon Prime, who we have a premium subscription. Yeah,
so as far as as you can pretty much get
it on all streaming services. That's what it shows right there.
So make sure you guys will check it out. I
(26:25):
think this is a little little segment that will add
in every so often just to kind of because like I.
Speaker 2 (26:29):
Said that the Rings one for Lord of the Rings
the new series.
Speaker 3 (26:35):
Oh the Town, is that the Ring of Power? Or
is the Rings of Power? Yeah? I think we actually
watched the first couple of episodes together. You know. That's
one of the things that I always enjoyed that, like
Mint has an eclectic taste in movies and shows, so like,
like I didn't know I like F one Racing until
(26:56):
we started watching that. I was like, oh, this is
like legit fucking great and on that we watched the
whole season on Netflix.
Speaker 2 (27:03):
Mm hmm.
Speaker 4 (27:04):
It was good, you know, yeah, exactly, so.
Speaker 2 (27:08):
It was good. It's pretty neat. I mean, just but
the Rings when getting to see how the elves got
the rings, how the dwarves got the rings.
Speaker 3 (27:16):
And the rings, how Sarn turned into Sarahn. You know
what I'm saying. Just off of that, like, and that's
where the last episode that I seen is when Mordor
exploded it became Moredor.
Speaker 2 (27:28):
I think they released the first three seasons the season
the first three episodes of season two.
Speaker 3 (27:34):
So okay, I'll go back and watch that too then,
because I said I vaguely, because we watched it a
while ago.
Speaker 4 (27:40):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (27:42):
I go after a long training session and after you know,
eating and getting done, it's like, let's see what's on
you know what.
Speaker 4 (27:48):
I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (27:51):
Exactly exactly all right, Nick, well let's lead ourselves out
of here. Uh you know, we have some words and
and you know, and makes true to him?
Speaker 2 (28:02):
Yeah, well, you know, just everything comes down to focus
and what kind of attention you want to put onto it,
and surround yourself with good people. You know, if you're
going to get a coach, research the coach, you know,
and not just maybe even go watch the coach in action,
like when he's coaching people. See see stuff like that,
(28:23):
because you can go to Strawman coaches and see see
the ones doing like Travis Hortmeyer is awesome. Yeah, I
mean totally awesome. He would be a phenomenal coach for
anybody more experience knows the all the ins and out
stuff like that. But go go research, do your due
diligence when hiring a coach. Just don't hire them because
somebody told you the guy was good, or he's training
(28:45):
this guy, this guy, and this guy because he might
not be charging them.
Speaker 4 (28:48):
Yeah, so.
Speaker 2 (28:52):
Just pay some attention to that. Focus on everything that
you do that you want to succeed at. And he's
always trained hard. Transmarter to you the best YouTube I'll do.
