00:00:07.759 --> 00:00:10.640
So about got our question for us? Oh excellent, you got the full

2
00:00:10.640 --> 00:00:17.839
intro to step to the play?

3
00:00:17.879 --> 00:00:20.719

say, we're asking answering y'all's questions,

4
00:00:21.000 --> 00:00:24.079
saying whatever you want. Welcome to
Friday's episode. We're answering y'all's question.

5
00:00:24.320 --> 00:00:30.640
Yeah, welcome you all to one
good question the Friday episode, and today's

6
00:00:30.679 --> 00:00:35.600
question is brought to you by the
one and only me. How do you

7
00:00:35.640 --> 00:00:41.479
guys feel about people like constantly like
flip flopping within the fitness industry, So

8
00:00:41.560 --> 00:00:46.679
going from like hybrid training to powerlifting
to bodybuilding. Yeah, I think the

9
00:00:46.679 --> 00:00:52.640
most common is probably the strength world
or bodybuilding world into an endurance sport,

10
00:00:52.719 --> 00:00:56.240
right, Yeah, that's probably the
most common right now about and it's still

11
00:00:56.280 --> 00:00:59.600
popular. The jiu jitsu switch,
but I feel that was really popular like

12
00:00:59.640 --> 00:01:03.920
five eight years ago, a lot
of strength athletes just started doing jiu jitsu,

13
00:01:03.040 --> 00:01:07.799
which you can kind of hybrid those
pretty decently. Obviously, one's going

14
00:01:07.840 --> 00:01:11.879
to suffer if you try to make
one prioritize one to be really good at

15
00:01:11.920 --> 00:01:15.439
something. Right now, if you
really want to be good at jiu jitsu,

16
00:01:15.519 --> 00:01:19.159
you're rolling two hours a day,
five to seven days a week.

17
00:01:19.879 --> 00:01:22.079
If you really want to be good
at powerlifting, you got to powerlift two

18
00:01:22.079 --> 00:01:25.480
hours a day, four to six
days a week. Eventually one of those

19
00:01:25.519 --> 00:01:27.719
is going to give Running. Similarly, yeah, you probably get your mile

20
00:01:27.799 --> 00:01:33.079
time to five six minutes, but
to like really smash a marathon, you're

21
00:01:33.480 --> 00:01:37.719
one re at max squat's probably going
to suffer. I think in terms of

22
00:01:37.760 --> 00:01:40.480
like non biased mic, I think
it's all great, right. I think

23
00:01:40.519 --> 00:01:44.239
if you're moving, If you're moving, you're doing something positive for you.

24
00:01:44.319 --> 00:01:46.760
And if you're a content creator,
you're doing some positive for other people because

25
00:01:46.760 --> 00:01:49.280
you're showing multiple ways to exercise.
And I've always said that, hey,

26
00:01:49.280 --> 00:01:52.239
I don't care if your power lift, I don't care if your body build.

27
00:01:52.519 --> 00:01:57.760
Find an activity you like and do
it. Often the critical mic thinks

28
00:01:57.760 --> 00:02:01.359
that most of these people, you
know, it's just again a little bit

29
00:02:01.959 --> 00:02:07.840
hypocritical or ironic that it's the same
folks talking about discipline and talking about you

30
00:02:07.879 --> 00:02:13.080
know, delayed gratification and you're preaching
all these things. I made a tweet

31
00:02:13.080 --> 00:02:15.800
about it the other day, like, why is every business guru right now

32
00:02:16.360 --> 00:02:22.759
steroided out of his brains, hasn't
lifted weights longer than three years consistently and

33
00:02:22.879 --> 00:02:27.240
preaching to me about patience and business. You know, yeah, and you're

34
00:02:27.280 --> 00:02:30.759
just like fa like And I've said
this many times and we got deep into

35
00:02:30.800 --> 00:02:35.759
it with the Barton Geo podcast a
long time ago about like the discipline hard

36
00:02:35.840 --> 00:02:44.919
working gnomer doesn't really matter if it's
only in one category that you chosen,

37
00:02:44.960 --> 00:02:47.719
you and enjoy. Right, Like, if I'm meeting McDonald's three meals a

38
00:02:47.759 --> 00:02:53.520
day, am I dedicated? I'm
a dedicated McDonald's eater. I'm disciplined because

39
00:02:53.520 --> 00:02:55.719
I'm eating. Right. If my
goal you know, attempted by Arbi's any

40
00:02:55.759 --> 00:02:59.319
day of the week, my goal
is the fucking McDonald's three days a week.

41
00:02:59.360 --> 00:03:00.199
So now, all of a sudden, right, that's easy. That's

42
00:03:00.199 --> 00:03:05.680
easy, and so like powerlifting is
hard when you're beat up and you're not

43
00:03:05.759 --> 00:03:07.680
having fun anymore. Yeah, right, But that's how you get stronger and

44
00:03:07.719 --> 00:03:10.159
it's how you get better. And
I believe, I do believe that's the

45
00:03:10.199 --> 00:03:15.199
case with business and relationships and doing
the hard shit over and over when you

46
00:03:15.240 --> 00:03:17.439
don't want to, when you least
likely want to. Not in the micro,

47
00:03:17.520 --> 00:03:22.479
but in the macro years, decades
of work will get you knowledge,

48
00:03:22.520 --> 00:03:25.479
and we'll get you somewhere. A
lot of it's trendy, you know.

49
00:03:25.520 --> 00:03:29.039
In our past episode, we just
talked about the algorithm and how that's kind

50
00:03:29.039 --> 00:03:32.439
of niching people out whether they want
to or not. Again, on the

51
00:03:32.479 --> 00:03:38.240
non critical side, it's fine.
There's much worse evils in this world in

52
00:03:38.319 --> 00:03:44.159
the If I'm being ultra critical,
yeah, I find it a little hypocritical

53
00:03:44.319 --> 00:03:49.479
and ironic that these people haven't even
trained or created content for ten years and

54
00:03:49.520 --> 00:03:51.599
now all of a sudden they're bored
because they don't know what to create,

55
00:03:51.840 --> 00:03:53.400
and so they're just finding some new
shit that's popular on the internet, which

56
00:03:53.400 --> 00:03:57.719
happens to be running at this moment. Yeah, I don't know if you

57
00:03:58.319 --> 00:04:02.680
have the foresight to go in to
whatever initial sport you're gonna put yourself in

58
00:04:03.360 --> 00:04:08.639
for social media and say I'm interested
in a lot of things. This is

59
00:04:08.680 --> 00:04:11.759
what I'm gonna do right now.
I might do other stuff later, come

60
00:04:11.800 --> 00:04:14.800
along with me. Most people don't
have that kind of foresight, but if

61
00:04:14.800 --> 00:04:16.800
they did, like, I got
nothing wrong with that, Yeah, I

62
00:04:16.839 --> 00:04:21.839
got no complaints at all. But
people who are heed dropping things when they

63
00:04:21.879 --> 00:04:27.279
get hard, or if they are
and moving on to something else, or

64
00:04:27.720 --> 00:04:30.839
if they're just cloud chasing with it, you know, just like oh everyone's

65
00:04:30.959 --> 00:04:34.120
doing it, or I'll go chasing
like everyone's doing it, so I need

66
00:04:34.160 --> 00:04:39.240
to do it. It's like well, I mean yes and no, Like

67
00:04:41.040 --> 00:04:44.720
running is cool, right because it's
so minimal. Yeah. Yeah, I

68
00:04:44.720 --> 00:04:46.319
remember even watching Casey and Eistatt when
he was on his come up in like

69
00:04:46.319 --> 00:04:48.879
twenty fifteen, and he's big into
running, and I thought that was cool

70
00:04:48.920 --> 00:04:54.480
that he travels the world and he's
doing a volog on Emords. I don't

71
00:04:54.480 --> 00:04:57.319
even know how to say it,
right, Emirates, Emirates, Emirates fucking

72
00:04:57.560 --> 00:05:00.519
uh, first class experience. And
then as soon as he lands and he's

73
00:05:00.560 --> 00:05:02.279
like literally flying it to Paris and
then flying it back within like ten hours.

74
00:05:02.399 --> 00:05:04.759
He's just shown the airplane. But
when he lands, he goes for

75
00:05:04.800 --> 00:05:09.279
a run because you just can,
right, Like that's cool. And so

76
00:05:09.360 --> 00:05:12.240
if people are like finding that and
like the outdoors, right, A lot

77
00:05:12.279 --> 00:05:15.800
of people are that are promoting this
as outdoors and it's not on a treadmill,

78
00:05:15.920 --> 00:05:18.319
like yeah, it's all like a
net positive uh, and running in

79
00:05:18.319 --> 00:05:21.839
particular, we're like jiu jitsu is
way more specialized power of things fucking specialized.

80
00:05:21.839 --> 00:05:25.839
Like I understand if you don't want
to buy one hundred dollars belt and

81
00:05:25.879 --> 00:05:28.360
you don't want to go to the
fancy gyms, and I get it,

82
00:05:29.079 --> 00:05:33.959
But just doing it because it's an
easy trend is a different conversation, right.

83
00:05:35.879 --> 00:05:42.160
I think that it's chose a lot
more integrity to stick with something that

84
00:05:42.199 --> 00:05:46.079
you find hard, for sure.
And I think that's a little bit where

85
00:05:46.160 --> 00:05:47.199
probably I don't want to speak for
you, but I think a little bit

86
00:05:47.240 --> 00:05:53.040
of the what do they call it, the thing on your shoulder chip,

87
00:05:53.160 --> 00:05:56.199
the chip that we have is just
that we did all this before it was

88
00:05:56.199 --> 00:05:58.439
cool, No, that's for sure, you know. And we did it

89
00:05:58.480 --> 00:06:00.639
because we like the bar bell and
we saw what it could do to us

90
00:06:00.639 --> 00:06:02.040
mentally, we saw what it could
do to community, We saw the net

91
00:06:02.040 --> 00:06:06.399
positives from that, and then people
start probably started powerlifting because it was cool.

92
00:06:06.480 --> 00:06:10.000
Yeah, And those are probably the
same ones that are doing whatever because

93
00:06:10.720 --> 00:06:14.199
they didn't like find the value in
it. But the value in it is

94
00:06:14.279 --> 00:06:17.720
the marathon, the value in any
of this, and running running for a

95
00:06:17.759 --> 00:06:20.920
year isn't gonna teach a shit.
Everyone's like to learn so much about myself.

96
00:06:20.920 --> 00:06:24.519
Bitch, you you've run for six
months, you know, like you

97
00:06:24.600 --> 00:06:27.000
just found God. You read the
Bible once, and you fucking go to

98
00:06:27.000 --> 00:06:30.399
heaven. Like it doesn't work that
way. Like the value in running is

99
00:06:30.399 --> 00:06:34.160
the same thing is that it's monotonous
as shit. It's fucking hard once you

100
00:06:34.199 --> 00:06:38.000
are in decent shape and you're running
a six minute mile to get to the

101
00:06:38.040 --> 00:06:41.120
five fifty miles really fucking really hard. Yeah, right, Like that's the

102
00:06:41.160 --> 00:06:44.399
beauty of powerlifting too. Getting five
hundred pound deadlift, great, that's really

103
00:06:44.439 --> 00:06:46.160
good. Get into the six hundred
Gonna take you double as long. You

104
00:06:46.160 --> 00:06:51.240
know, that's kind of the beauty
in the struggle that people are avoiding by

105
00:06:51.439 --> 00:06:56.000
by hopping around. And it's a
similar thing we talked about of program jumping

106
00:06:56.160 --> 00:06:59.920
was a huge thing in the early
twenty tens and now coach jumping because people

107
00:07:00.079 --> 00:07:01.959
or more have more access to that, which is great, but that's a

108
00:07:01.959 --> 00:07:05.160
common thing in the twenty twenties.
So, you know, I think,

109
00:07:05.199 --> 00:07:08.519
if you really want to learn about
yourself, if you want to be an

110
00:07:08.560 --> 00:07:12.000
expert anything, the ten thousand hour
rule, whether that's verified or not,

111
00:07:12.040 --> 00:07:15.399
I've heard different arguments, but there's
something there. Maybe b Yeah, but

112
00:07:15.439 --> 00:07:17.160
there's something there. For sure.
You're gonna be more of an expert of

113
00:07:17.199 --> 00:07:20.199
ten thousand hours than two thousand hours
as for sure. Even if all you're

114
00:07:20.240 --> 00:07:24.199
learning is why you're bad at it, it literally doesn't matter. Yeah,

115
00:07:24.199 --> 00:07:26.920
but you just but you're gonna learn
about yourself. You're gonna learn about yourself

116
00:07:27.040 --> 00:07:30.759
and hard times, you're gonna learn
about yourself when you're not choosing the easy

117
00:07:30.839 --> 00:07:33.199
route. And we all know beginner
gains, right, So people go jogging

118
00:07:33.199 --> 00:07:36.759
and they're getting beginner gains there too, and they're probably fucking stoked on it,

119
00:07:36.800 --> 00:07:40.439
all right, jog for ten years, bitch, tell me how you

120
00:07:40.439 --> 00:07:45.480
feel. I'll actually want to pause
here and shout out former guests on our

121
00:07:45.480 --> 00:07:47.040
show. I think we had him
on last year, Sam Schaeffer, who

122
00:07:47.079 --> 00:07:53.279
had to blow the knee amputation,
like voluntary because he had an injury that

123
00:07:53.360 --> 00:07:57.800
wouldn't heal and he was in constant
pain, and like he's doing a lot

124
00:07:57.800 --> 00:08:01.040
of shit. He's running, he's
throwing, he's you know, he's doing

125
00:08:01.120 --> 00:08:05.639
everything. It's like he's proving I
can still do these things. I can

126
00:08:05.639 --> 00:08:09.360
still be athletic and whatever, and
I can enjoy doing them, or I

127
00:08:09.360 --> 00:08:13.480
can enjoy the fact that it's hard
and I'm making it through or whatever.

128
00:08:13.639 --> 00:08:16.279
Like, yeah, like I have
all the respect in the world for that.

129
00:08:16.279 --> 00:08:20.160
That's a great And I think his
injury was from running, Yeah it

130
00:08:20.399 --> 00:08:24.240
was. Yeah. Talk about difficulty, yeah right, like the mental difficulty

131
00:08:24.240 --> 00:08:28.360
to go do what fucked your life
up? Yeah, like that's hard.

132
00:08:28.240 --> 00:08:33.720
Yeah. No, just I mean
a good guy, you know, pure

133
00:08:33.759 --> 00:08:37.399
motivations. From what you can tell. I have conversations with him every once

134
00:08:37.440 --> 00:08:41.720
in a while, and like all
the respect in the world for that.

135
00:08:43.360 --> 00:08:48.799
He's not chasing clout to make content. He's doing cool shit he wants to

136
00:08:48.840 --> 00:08:52.559
do and proving that he can still
do it. And there's just no downside

137
00:08:52.600 --> 00:08:54.960
of that as far as I'm concerned. Yeah. Yeah, don't take my

138
00:08:56.000 --> 00:09:00.360
criticism to not go start something new
either, But don't go start things that

139
00:09:00.399 --> 00:09:03.039
don't follow through on them. I
think that's like the bigger lesson. Yeah.

140
00:09:03.120 --> 00:09:05.679
Yeah, It's like how many people
may like buy all the gear for

141
00:09:05.759 --> 00:09:09.480
some new sport and do it for
two weeks and then they walk away from

142
00:09:09.480 --> 00:09:11.960
the powerlifting. You're seeing it more
and more, you know, guys are

143
00:09:11.000 --> 00:09:16.759
like retiring when they did like two
weeks and what foks going on? Tired

144
00:09:16.879 --> 00:09:20.080
Jersey. Yeah, someone's gonna ask
us one day throw their single of the

145
00:09:20.200 --> 00:09:28.120
Rasters with fucking baby powder all the
fuck on it to fuck man. Think

146
00:09:28.120 --> 00:09:31.480
that baby battery is gonna float down
for the rest of time. Bastards,
