How important is nutrition in powerlifting? | Topic Thunder

WEBVTT

1
00:00:08.679 --> 00:00:12.640
Yeah, get y'all with the yo
yo. Welcome back to topic. Thunder

2
00:00:13.800 --> 00:00:22.559
Ah got him my debut. Yeah, some power one oh six hip hop

3
00:00:22.640 --> 00:00:29.079
radio. He's been waiting. We
need to get all those. Yeah,

4
00:00:29.239 --> 00:00:33.920
they have all the corny ones,
like the horn, the Jamaican horn,

5
00:00:33.960 --> 00:00:39.119
a couple of shitty laughs the nineties. Those would be good or just like

6
00:00:39.159 --> 00:00:42.520
any snippets like we could do that
easily. Yeah, you get like Kanye

7
00:00:42.600 --> 00:00:45.240
saying some crazy ship and just put
him on rip. You know, we

8
00:00:45.280 --> 00:00:48.719
got turntables in the back. See
you guys just mixing our voices. I

9
00:00:48.719 --> 00:00:52.079
saw by a quick Sandi. I
sawd them right before we opened the gym.

10
00:00:52.079 --> 00:00:53.640
I should have brought him in here, but we didn't have the gym

11
00:00:53.679 --> 00:00:58.000
yet. Cop love that ky buzzing
down fresh mixes every morning. Didn't plug

12
00:00:58.039 --> 00:01:02.759
it into that things from eight thirty
twelve to two cows, fresh mixing every

13
00:01:02.799 --> 00:01:04.840
day. Ain't no one working out. We got like we had a club

14
00:01:04.920 --> 00:01:11.200
now we had a club room is
just like maure in the front. Yeah,

15
00:01:11.239 --> 00:01:15.680
that's what our whole stupid gym is. Already You ready for the question

16
00:01:15.680 --> 00:01:19.079
of the day. Did It's probably
gonna start with the young kids, so

17
00:01:19.359 --> 00:01:23.640
incorporating a healthy lifestyle extends well beyond
the working out right. Nutrition is the

18
00:01:23.640 --> 00:01:26.120
hardest part. It's a big part
of if you actually want to see results

19
00:01:26.159 --> 00:01:29.120
in whatever you do. So you
just want to like feel good, look

20
00:01:29.159 --> 00:01:30.920
better, Like that's the right.
Most people go to the gym for that,

21
00:01:32.040 --> 00:01:34.680
and then as you mature, hopefully
it you know, goes into extending

22
00:01:34.760 --> 00:01:38.040
and a functionality or whatever. But
who knows what role does nutrition play with

23
00:01:38.200 --> 00:01:44.040
y'all? Because powerlifting in particular,
I feel like a lot of people get

24
00:01:44.040 --> 00:01:48.200
into it because and people say this
over and over day to watch fucking Goku

25
00:01:48.599 --> 00:01:53.239
or they wanted a body build,
but they love food too much that the

26
00:01:53.319 --> 00:01:57.719
intricate the intertwining of like foodies and
powerlifting is a super interesting thing that we've

27
00:01:57.719 --> 00:02:00.920
never really touched on. Yeah,
it's the power of even be fat can

28
00:02:01.000 --> 00:02:05.000
eat right, Like Yeah, obviously
just weigh classes, and as we're getting

29
00:02:05.000 --> 00:02:07.719
more competitive, more people pay attention
to that, even the casuals because obviously

30
00:02:07.719 --> 00:02:12.560
the higher level lifters have to.
But a lot of folks find this sport

31
00:02:13.039 --> 00:02:15.840
because they just like food so much, and then they find a way to

32
00:02:15.840 --> 00:02:17.639
make it work or they'll intertwine it
a little bit until you get really good

33
00:02:17.680 --> 00:02:20.680
and then and then you kind of
got to lock in and not. But

34
00:02:20.759 --> 00:02:23.639
even still there's kind of that foody
background. How about y'all, Like you

35
00:02:23.719 --> 00:02:28.560
all are pretty competitive and you guys
are very into it. Does it say

36
00:02:28.599 --> 00:02:30.439
like, damn, I'm not gonna
eat donuts for six months? Like does

37
00:02:30.479 --> 00:02:36.240
it play that much of a role
or not. It just I just want

38
00:02:36.240 --> 00:02:38.599
to feel better. I think I
want to feel like a kind of like

39
00:02:38.599 --> 00:02:40.240
an athlete, kind of how you
used to do it. But back in

40
00:02:40.280 --> 00:02:44.439
the days, yeah, I mean
I was locked the fucking yeah bit like

41
00:02:44.479 --> 00:02:47.919
I went I went five years,
no drinks back in my food for five

42
00:02:49.000 --> 00:02:51.840
years straight. I don't do that. Yeah, like every meal, Like

43
00:02:51.879 --> 00:02:55.479
I went crazy because the top was
like closer. Yeah. So not to

44
00:02:55.479 --> 00:02:59.319
say like I was a top powerlifter, but like I think on my second

45
00:02:59.319 --> 00:03:00.919
meet, I was top twenty in
the year in the world. All Feds

46
00:03:01.319 --> 00:03:06.159
god, you know, Like and
obviously the pool was small. There's only

47
00:03:06.159 --> 00:03:08.919
three thousand people powerlifting and now there's
one hundred thousand people powerlifting, so and

48
00:03:08.960 --> 00:03:12.520
the FEDS were different, but we
did have a website that would show that,

49
00:03:12.560 --> 00:03:14.960
and like my squad was top twenty. I think my total was top

50
00:03:15.000 --> 00:03:17.240
twenty five. I mean it's important
for sure. I think I took it

51
00:03:17.280 --> 00:03:22.000
more when I needed to grow when
I was like one ten, twig and

52
00:03:22.000 --> 00:03:27.879
then I went one seventy five and
now you're one forty shit one ten.

53
00:03:28.599 --> 00:03:32.439
Yeah, if I saw you,
then holy it's like Dylan Daling one ten,

54
00:03:32.520 --> 00:03:37.639
No way, what is he?
I think twenty five it's basically the

55
00:03:37.719 --> 00:03:39.599
same. Shit. It's crazy dog, I want to get bigger. And

56
00:03:40.639 --> 00:03:46.159
I think he like one two yeah, yeah, say once he five at

57
00:03:46.280 --> 00:03:49.800
least five. But like, I
think I took it more serious when I

58
00:03:49.840 --> 00:03:52.520
there was the goal of like,
oh I need to change my body once

59
00:03:52.520 --> 00:03:54.080
you kind of sit in it as
a powerlift, you like, as long

60
00:03:54.120 --> 00:03:58.400
as you get protein and everything else. But even knowing that, I feels

61
00:03:58.400 --> 00:04:00.280
like yah, like back of the
day, like yeah would slam protein shakes

62
00:04:00.280 --> 00:04:03.879
and ship but their actual knowledge on
nutrition was so bad and they would just

63
00:04:03.960 --> 00:04:10.520
chug beers. We talked about a
separate podcast where like having beers in the

64
00:04:10.639 --> 00:04:13.639
Yeah, like workouts was like kind
of normal because it was kind of like

65
00:04:14.080 --> 00:04:17.680
a blue collar just got off work
like hangout session strong. Yeah, kind

66
00:04:17.680 --> 00:04:21.000
of like that was kind of like
the culture and it still is in some

67
00:04:21.040 --> 00:04:25.240
parts, but very common to you
know, kind of like you would go

68
00:04:25.279 --> 00:04:29.600
and play golf, like power of
the thing was more like golf than it

69
00:04:29.639 --> 00:04:32.720
was bodybuilding back in the day.
Yeah, and well Highland Games for sure

70
00:04:33.639 --> 00:04:39.600
is golf with throwing things. Literally, yeah it has been yeah yeah strong

71
00:04:39.680 --> 00:04:42.519
Man. Yeah, strong Man.
I just feel like probably still is.

72
00:04:42.560 --> 00:04:47.800
Obviously the Brian Shaw isn't doing that, but any mid level guy is,

73
00:04:48.680 --> 00:04:51.720
and and then the top guys and
strong men probably were back in the day.

74
00:04:53.000 --> 00:04:55.720
Strongman is the new It's funniest because
it is the newest sport out of

75
00:04:55.759 --> 00:04:59.959
them all, you know. In
the eighties, like it literally it wasn't

76
00:05:00.040 --> 00:05:02.759
such thing. It was just like
a have you guys watched those the seventies

77
00:05:02.759 --> 00:05:08.959
and eighties strong man where you should? It's literally like not Arnold but Frankel

78
00:05:08.959 --> 00:05:15.319
Colombo bodybuilder. Yeah, offensive lineman
from the Chicago Bears. Another lineman just

79
00:05:15.360 --> 00:05:18.720
a big fuck like a bouncer.
You know. It's like just random dudes

80
00:05:18.759 --> 00:05:21.319
and then they just make them go
do random shit. It was kind of

81
00:05:21.319 --> 00:05:26.879
like early days MMA, like a
WWE wrestler, Yeah, exactly, shit

82
00:05:27.000 --> 00:05:29.680
like that. Yeah, you just
grab big fuck, say all right,

83
00:05:29.680 --> 00:05:32.600
which big fuck is the biggest of
fucks? I like that. Yeah,

84
00:05:32.639 --> 00:05:34.839
No, it was cool. It
was almost cooler than now because no one

85
00:05:34.920 --> 00:05:39.759
was specialized. And that's why like
early UFC Pride, early MMA at school

86
00:05:39.879 --> 00:05:42.759
is like, all right, we
have one hundred and eighty pound like karate,

87
00:05:43.160 --> 00:05:45.959
we have one hundred and ninety pounds
jiu jitsu, and we have a

88
00:05:46.199 --> 00:05:48.920
two hundred and twenty pound boxer who
would actually whoop ass. Yeah, and

89
00:05:48.959 --> 00:05:53.319
you find out who's the biggest ass
whooper yeah, yeah, and you're never

90
00:05:53.319 --> 00:05:57.399
gonna replicate that, right, yeah, because everyone's like not as specialized anymore,

91
00:05:57.759 --> 00:06:00.000
and then we already know, like
it's obviously more dangerous as well,

92
00:06:00.120 --> 00:06:03.120
But it was kind of fun because
now, yeah, I feel like on

93
00:06:03.120 --> 00:06:08.680
any level, like even the intermediate
powerlift for body, they're strong man knows

94
00:06:08.720 --> 00:06:12.839
about nutrition is locked in at least
somewhat, Like you even said, like

95
00:06:12.959 --> 00:06:14.720
I'm not like Dane, I was
like, but I get my protein,

96
00:06:14.920 --> 00:06:17.800
yeah, because like everyone's doing that. There's always like nah, not everyone,

97
00:06:17.839 --> 00:06:20.319
not even people don't even people don't
even track their protein. I don't

98
00:06:20.360 --> 00:06:24.160
know if they track it, but
they have the knowledge to do it.

99
00:06:24.560 --> 00:06:27.720
They know that they need protein and
they know they need about a gram per

100
00:06:27.720 --> 00:06:30.600
body. Wait, sure the execution
has more to do with if you're successful

101
00:06:30.680 --> 00:06:34.360
or not. Yeah, yeah,
well that's why not everyone's jacked. But

102
00:06:35.120 --> 00:06:39.800
people are on a program which wasn't
a thing. People are. We're always

103
00:06:39.800 --> 00:06:43.519
watching the craziest h shut of my
boy. Train Wrecks is the biggest like

104
00:06:43.560 --> 00:06:46.079
podcast on live streaming. Who had
me on multiple years ago and his coach

105
00:06:46.199 --> 00:06:50.759
was talking about Windler's five three one
and this guy works in tech marketing way

106
00:06:50.959 --> 00:06:55.680
lateral Wendler's five three one was like, I mean, we've had dinner with

107
00:06:55.720 --> 00:06:59.319
Wendler, Like Jim knows Wendler like
that. That's very niche, a niche.

108
00:06:59.360 --> 00:07:01.079
He's a west side lifter throwback,
Yeah, he's a west side lifter.

109
00:07:01.399 --> 00:07:05.240
Like it's so different, and so
for that to be mainstay knowledge,

110
00:07:06.000 --> 00:07:11.120
I guess My point is the core
knowledge of anyone in our space is way

111
00:07:11.120 --> 00:07:14.959
elevated then back then, yeah,
and way elevated even to the norm pop.

112
00:07:15.519 --> 00:07:18.160
You know, I dare say the
knowledge is up, but the intensity

113
00:07:18.560 --> 00:07:23.079
and the effort is down. Yeah
maybe maybe, but back then there's fucks

114
00:07:23.120 --> 00:07:26.120
around too, you know, I
think there's around. But we were in

115
00:07:26.279 --> 00:07:29.160
the strongest gym on the planet,
the most popular gym on the planet,

116
00:07:29.199 --> 00:07:32.120
and we had and half the team
was still pieces of shit that didn't work

117
00:07:32.120 --> 00:07:34.639
out hard, didn't eat, didn't
you know what I mean? Yeah,

118
00:07:34.680 --> 00:07:38.439
yeah, yeah, well yeah,
we had, you know, five guys

119
00:07:38.439 --> 00:07:41.519
that are squad one thousand pounds and
two or three guys that are all time

120
00:07:41.560 --> 00:07:44.399
world record holders, and a lot
of guys you know, everyone's dead lifting

121
00:07:44.399 --> 00:07:48.680
six hundred seven hundred pounds, and
yeah, always a side that trained with

122
00:07:48.759 --> 00:07:54.319
us or around us that didn't do
shit. Yeah, it's always like that.

123
00:07:54.480 --> 00:07:58.560
I think it's always like that.
So everything's somewhat normally distributed, even

124
00:07:58.600 --> 00:08:01.639
in an environment that's supposed to be
elevated. You know. Yeah, they

125
00:08:01.680 --> 00:08:05.279
still had the guts to show up
to the like hardcore gyms or whatever.

126
00:08:05.360 --> 00:08:09.399
Now everyone's been into like a warehouse
crossing nostalgym. But back then, I

127
00:08:09.439 --> 00:08:11.040
mean, I have stories. I've
probably told them podcasts the gym, but

128
00:08:11.079 --> 00:08:16.160
maybe you guys didn't know where super
training was in this building. And I

129
00:08:16.160 --> 00:08:18.560
would drive around the block contemplating.
I obviously have anxiety issues too, but

130
00:08:20.680 --> 00:08:24.480
I would drive around the block multiple
times to see if I'm even gonna go

131
00:08:24.519 --> 00:08:26.680
step foot in there. I can
remember hearing that for like six months,

132
00:08:26.720 --> 00:08:30.199
not on just the first day,
the first day for sure, but multiple

133
00:08:30.199 --> 00:08:31.360
times I didn't see enough cars They're
like, well I don't want to go

134
00:08:31.399 --> 00:08:35.960
in yet. I would circle,
you know. And I have that instance

135
00:08:35.000 --> 00:08:41.720
a lot of times in my life. How you know gas was cheap,

136
00:08:41.200 --> 00:08:45.720
That's how you know I got mental
issues. Mental issues are beyond gas price.

137
00:08:48.440 --> 00:08:50.759
I had a four cylinder at the
time where I ain't driving around no

138
00:08:50.840 --> 00:08:58.399
block about yeah, five dollar gall
on the park up in the park now

139
00:08:58.559 --> 00:09:09.120
off driving around though it was forciately
it was the GTI no matter. So

140
00:09:09.200 --> 00:09:11.759
I had that, And before I
stepped foot in the building, I had

141
00:09:11.759 --> 00:09:13.919
a five hundred pounds squad and a
five fifty dead looks damn okay, right,

142
00:09:13.960 --> 00:09:18.799
and you're still still scared. Yeah, let alone. Some fucks would

143
00:09:18.799 --> 00:09:20.559
just walk right in. Some ship
heads, no, even in our day,

144
00:09:22.159 --> 00:09:24.039
they would walk right in, not
even think about it. Pull three

145
00:09:24.200 --> 00:09:28.639
fifteen, go chuck beers, be
fat, never show up whatever, you

146
00:09:28.679 --> 00:09:31.080
know what I mean? Yeah,
I think's right. The Bell curve is

147
00:09:31.120 --> 00:09:35.799
always, It's always, It's just
different it's always there different environment that is

148
00:09:35.799 --> 00:09:41.120
supposed to be elevated. We had
a guy in here before you, somebody

149
00:09:41.159 --> 00:09:43.720
that I still it's still on Facebook. I know what he's doing whatever.

150
00:09:43.799 --> 00:09:48.799
He moved to UH to Chicago,
and he was like, he looked like

151
00:09:48.840 --> 00:09:52.480
he was in pretty good shape,
but he was not strong, like at

152
00:09:52.519 --> 00:09:58.200
all. It was astonishing how not
strong he was. For somebody who had

153
00:09:58.240 --> 00:10:03.000
his you know, as much lean
muscle as this guy. He just said,

154
00:10:03.480 --> 00:10:07.240
it's like, what the hell,
He's a lot stronger now and he's

155
00:10:07.279 --> 00:10:13.919
like he's a physique competitor and ship
whatever he found out he found he's like,

156
00:10:15.120 --> 00:10:16.840
I can't live. I gotta go
long sports. I gotta go on

157
00:10:16.879 --> 00:10:20.840
and looks because I can't get there
on strength. Yeah, but it was

158
00:10:20.120 --> 00:10:24.159
I don't know, there were a
lot of there were a lot of folks

159
00:10:24.159 --> 00:10:26.159
who just didn't who just were not
that strong. I was never, you

160
00:10:26.200 --> 00:10:31.120
know, even closer to being in
the mid level of strength in that group.

161
00:10:31.480 --> 00:10:33.759
But I was also old, and
so I said fuck it a lot.

162
00:10:35.840 --> 00:10:39.600
But it was always astonishing when someone
who was looked like they could possibly

163
00:10:39.639 --> 00:10:43.399
have been strong where they were at
least big and there's nothing you know,

164
00:10:43.519 --> 00:10:48.960
like I can't bench press two plates. Like now we're in the look smaller

165
00:10:50.240 --> 00:10:54.399
small yeah, yeah but even still
Yeah, it's coin flip. It's all

166
00:10:54.399 --> 00:10:58.639
