00:00:47.119 --> 00:00:53.320

13
00:00:53.359 --> 00:01:03.760
word power building. All right,
we got we got, we got Matt

14
00:01:03.760 --> 00:01:11.400
ogie with us again. Uh,
Matt, I'm assuming that people have actually

15
00:01:11.439 --> 00:01:14.920
like seen your work out there in
the real world. I know, yeah,

16
00:01:15.040 --> 00:01:19.400
that you've done some stuff that's kind
of on the impressive to me side.

17
00:01:19.719 --> 00:01:23.120
It's out there. Yeah, there's
some stuff out there. Yeah.

18
00:01:23.359 --> 00:01:26.200
Yeah, So like, what have
you done? Real quick? Here?

19
00:01:26.280 --> 00:01:29.319
Who are you? Who are am
I bring that Mike a lil closer to

20
00:01:29.359 --> 00:01:34.680
your mouth. It's yeah, I
am just a twenty four year old kid

21
00:01:34.120 --> 00:01:38.239
that has worked on cars from seventeen
till now. Yeah, and now I'm

22
00:01:38.280 --> 00:01:42.359
here. And sometimes they sometimes they've
been in movies. Sometimes yes, I

23
00:01:42.400 --> 00:01:48.200
heard your best friends with Heath Ledger. Oh he's dead. By the time

24
00:01:48.239 --> 00:01:49.799
that time movie came out, I
was like, twelve, What did I

25
00:01:49.840 --> 00:01:53.760
do in that movie? I don't
know, Maybe you should have. I

26
00:01:53.799 --> 00:01:57.719
was just like, I'm connecting large, huge dots. No, no,

27
00:01:57.719 --> 00:02:00.799
no underage stuff here. And you
can be best friends with someone who passed

28
00:02:00.799 --> 00:02:02.319
by the way. Yeah, that's
true. But if we were talking about

29
00:02:02.319 --> 00:02:05.840
work, like I had no work
at twelve years old, okay, but

30
00:02:05.879 --> 00:02:08.599
five years later sounds like you're a
lazy kid. Five years later, it

31
00:02:08.719 --> 00:02:12.159
was like, yeah, ten,
there were some cars that I've seen,

32
00:02:12.199 --> 00:02:19.240
some movie scenes and stuff like that
that we've done work on what probably not.

33
00:02:19.800 --> 00:02:22.280
You don't have to say the movie, yeah, but you've seen him

34
00:02:22.280 --> 00:02:24.879
on screens supercars, that's all you
have to say. That's all you say,

35
00:02:24.919 --> 00:02:34.120
Well, welcome to this episode of
Topic Thunder. So my question right

36
00:02:34.120 --> 00:02:42.919
now comes from the instagram of our
friend Joe Sullivan, who says that we

37
00:02:42.960 --> 00:02:50.000
should stop using the word power building. Oh yeah, I just saw Omar

38
00:02:50.039 --> 00:02:53.159
did a video on it too.
I didn't watch it. Yeah, I

39
00:02:53.199 --> 00:02:55.960
don't know. I would just saw
Joe a week ago or two weeks ago

40
00:02:57.360 --> 00:03:00.120
and Brandy did he give an ext
nation? Well, he hates it,

41
00:03:00.919 --> 00:03:05.199
mostly just hates it. That's fair. I used to talk shit on it.

42
00:03:05.280 --> 00:03:07.240
Kind of it's kind of not descriptive. I guess of what I mean.

43
00:03:07.240 --> 00:03:09.199
I can bring up what he actually
said, but I'm just like,

44
00:03:09.520 --> 00:03:15.840
yeah, I think I don't know. I I think maybe I've just been

45
00:03:15.879 --> 00:03:17.759
in too long. So long,
I just don't give a fuck, Like

46
00:03:17.800 --> 00:03:21.680
you could call it ballet and be
deadlifting, Like I really don't care,

47
00:03:21.719 --> 00:03:23.400
Like none of it really affects me
that much. But I do understand the

48
00:03:23.479 --> 00:03:25.840
view of it because I think I
used to kind of, you know,

49
00:03:25.879 --> 00:03:30.840
throw a little semi jokes at it
too, because it is like, well,

50
00:03:30.879 --> 00:03:32.479
it's just not that creative of a
term, right, Like you're literally

51
00:03:32.520 --> 00:03:36.360
just throwing two words together, and
then like, what are the change,

52
00:03:36.400 --> 00:03:39.719
like how many people do you know? And like powerlifting in general should be

53
00:03:39.800 --> 00:03:45.360
power building. Maybe that's like his
argument, right, because like you have

54
00:03:45.400 --> 00:03:49.439
to like squat, then you should
probably go do some kind of leg extension,

55
00:03:49.520 --> 00:03:53.520
leg press like belt squat type deal. Like so okay, you handle

56
00:03:53.560 --> 00:03:58.159
the bar bell and then you handle
the hypertrophy move, so you're like automatically

57
00:03:58.159 --> 00:04:02.759
a power builder. Yeah, assist
this moves are almost always muscle building in

58
00:04:02.840 --> 00:04:05.080
some way. Yeah, and even
the main movement, like you're gonna do

59
00:04:05.159 --> 00:04:11.120
sets of five and ten closest to
failure to build muscle in that movement with

60
00:04:11.240 --> 00:04:15.480
particular muscles that assist that do their
jobs like the main movers and a bench

61
00:04:15.600 --> 00:04:20.040
are built by doing a bench.
Yeah, for sure. His actual posts

62
00:04:20.040 --> 00:04:25.279
said power building is a stupid word
and we should stop all stop using it,

63
00:04:26.000 --> 00:04:31.759
basically saying that it's semantics. Yeah
that's yeah, I mean I agree,

64
00:04:32.199 --> 00:04:35.000
I agree, And then I mean
the opposite could be true too.

65
00:04:35.040 --> 00:04:42.439
But because like bodybuilding, training isn't
bodybuilding, no, right, Like bodybuilding

66
00:04:42.519 --> 00:04:45.279
is like being naked on a stage
posing, Right, that's the sport of

67
00:04:45.279 --> 00:04:47.040
bodybuilding. And we've talked about that
a lot in the past. Two've gotten

68
00:04:47.160 --> 00:04:51.480
in not debates between you and I, but just the world are people where

69
00:04:51.920 --> 00:04:55.959
if you want to call like bodybuilding
a sport, I would say no,

70
00:04:56.399 --> 00:05:00.879
and I would say bodybuilding training is
more athletic. And we used to go

71
00:05:00.920 --> 00:05:03.120
into at some point we'd looked up
the definition of sport and whatever, like

72
00:05:03.480 --> 00:05:10.839
posing on a stage with some like
pretty subjective judging isn't a sport to me.

73
00:05:11.920 --> 00:05:20.040
I think it's a way to describe
athletically focused strength training that isn't competitive

74
00:05:21.160 --> 00:05:25.600
power building, yeah, yeah,
yeah, but then yeah, and then

75
00:05:25.639 --> 00:05:30.480
like you ask probably you as one
hundred people on fucking Instagram what they do,

76
00:05:30.000 --> 00:05:34.560
ninety percent are going to describe something
like power building. And I mean,

77
00:05:34.600 --> 00:05:39.279
in reality, a lot of people
are gonna say if you ask them

78
00:05:39.319 --> 00:05:42.839
what they wanted to look like,
they essentially want to look like a bodybuilder,

79
00:05:43.120 --> 00:05:46.959
not a big bodybuilder necessarily, but
like yeah, Sea bomber, yeah,

80
00:05:46.079 --> 00:05:49.920
notice likely noticeably muscular, yeah,
or jacked NFL players Yeah, And

81
00:05:49.959 --> 00:05:53.759
the whole the whole thing's weird then
too, because then you get like the

82
00:05:53.920 --> 00:05:56.920
strict strength and conditioning guys, and
they're arguing, like training like an athlete,

83
00:05:56.959 --> 00:05:59.360
look like an athlete, I'm like, we just don't really have the

84
00:05:59.399 --> 00:06:02.160
same genetic Like I could do whatever
the fuck Lebron's doing, and we ain't

85
00:06:02.160 --> 00:06:04.680
gonna look the same. You're not
gonna be taller, Yeah, our Miles

86
00:06:04.720 --> 00:06:10.279
Garrett, Like those guys are built
like crazy athletic bodybuilders, and sure they're

87
00:06:10.279 --> 00:06:14.480
probably doing like hand cleans and some
more athletic style movements, but like me

88
00:06:14.639 --> 00:06:16.920
doing that, I'm not going to
look like that. Certain people on your

89
00:06:16.920 --> 00:06:24.519
genetic spectrum will have to train very
more strict bodybuilding bodybuilding diet to even semi

90
00:06:24.560 --> 00:06:27.720
look like a bodybuilder. Yeah.
Like, and then we all have friends

91
00:06:27.759 --> 00:06:30.720
and people we know that barely work
out and look fucking insane, which I

92
00:06:30.720 --> 00:06:32.879
hate those people. Are you doing
anything? Yeah? Some people like just

93
00:06:32.920 --> 00:06:35.759
sprint or like there's runners, you
know, like and you're like, damn,

94
00:06:35.800 --> 00:06:39.000
that dude's like jacked, Like what
the fuck is he doing? So

95
00:06:39.920 --> 00:06:42.000
I don't know where I was going
with that, but yeah, I think

96
00:06:42.000 --> 00:06:46.160
it's it is like an amateur random
Jim bro is all. They're all power

97
00:06:46.160 --> 00:06:51.040
builders. I think it's just working
out. Yeah, it is. That's

98
00:06:51.040 --> 00:06:55.839
another thing too. People still get
mad about no wonder maybe do you like

99
00:06:55.879 --> 00:06:59.560
a poll? Somewhere. But like
the training versus workout, that was like

100
00:06:59.600 --> 00:07:01.120
a huge thing for a long time. People get all mad and like,

101
00:07:01.160 --> 00:07:03.439
oh, we don't work out.
We trained and trainings for a goal.

102
00:07:04.079 --> 00:07:08.879
I say the word training, but
that's just because like that's it's just like

103
00:07:08.920 --> 00:07:11.480
never stopped. Like I trained for
basketball, and then I trained in basketball,

104
00:07:11.480 --> 00:07:15.240
and then now he trained, and
that's gotten more popular. I was

105
00:07:15.279 --> 00:07:17.399
listening to The Rock and Joe Rogan
talked the other day, and they're talking

106
00:07:17.399 --> 00:07:19.360
about training. They don't say like, oh, we work out. They're

107
00:07:19.360 --> 00:07:21.319
like, oh, we trained in
the gym, and it's true, you

108
00:07:21.360 --> 00:07:26.120
know, like but their experience is
the same. The Rock was a fucking

109
00:07:26.160 --> 00:07:29.240
d one football player, a little
bit of like pro am Cype football,

110
00:07:29.279 --> 00:07:31.079
and then he trained to be a
WW guy and now he trains for his

111
00:07:31.160 --> 00:07:33.480
physique for movies. Yeah, and
same with the Rogan. You know,

112
00:07:33.519 --> 00:07:39.639
he's competitive m M A and blah
blah blah blah or kickboxing and then he

113
00:07:39.759 --> 00:07:43.560
trained and then now we trained.
So yeah, none of it really like

114
00:07:43.600 --> 00:07:46.759
piston did you say, Riley Reid
because you said training, Yeah, Riley

115
00:07:46.800 --> 00:07:49.959
Reid, are you talking about sexual
trains? It was just a yeah,

116
00:07:49.959 --> 00:07:56.680
it was the input, like train, that's disgusting, that's absolutely disgusting.

117
00:07:56.759 --> 00:08:00.199
How did we get here? How
did we get here? Just like ten

118
00:08:00.240 --> 00:08:05.360
in the morning, you're thinking about
pornography. Keep running, just keep running

119
00:08:05.399 --> 00:08:09.600
that way, You're like, yeah, actually I worked on that bang bus

120
00:08:09.720 --> 00:08:13.560
that they filmed. That's my greatest
That's the thing. You can't talk about,

121
00:08:13.160 --> 00:08:20.279
whether bang bus or fucking both.
Answer b What if your career was

122
00:08:20.319 --> 00:08:24.199
secretly all your NDAs is that you
build bang busses and fucking casting coscies.

123
00:08:24.240 --> 00:08:33.279
You're for sure probably hide that too. So that's the truth. Un Riley

124
00:08:33.320 --> 00:08:37.799
retrains the rock trains power building probably
is over used in a weird term.

125
00:08:37.919 --> 00:08:41.879
But it doesn't personally bug me.
It doesn't bug me either, But it

126
00:08:41.960 --> 00:08:43.519
used to the fuckers bug me.
I'm like you, I used to bother

127
00:08:43.600 --> 00:08:46.720
me a little bit too, But
you know, in the end, it

128
00:08:46.720 --> 00:08:50.200
doesn't really matter people. If people
go work, I don't care what the

129
00:08:50.200 --> 00:08:52.159
fuck they call it. They can
call it, you know, yeah,

130
00:08:52.200 --> 00:08:56.720
they can call it cheesemaking for all
I care. Yeah, same and yeah,

131
00:08:56.759 --> 00:08:58.279
same thing. I used to be
like, and I'm won a many

132
00:08:58.320 --> 00:09:01.399
It ran about like functional fitness,
and it does it is stupid. It's

133
00:09:01.399 --> 00:09:05.759
a really stupid term. But like
again, if you're like, if I

134
00:09:05.840 --> 00:09:09.519
meet someone and they're like, yeah, you know an expert functional fitness,

135
00:09:09.559 --> 00:09:13.360
right compete in functional fitness, Like, I don't really care. I just

136
00:09:13.360 --> 00:09:16.639
don't care enough anymore. I am
at the grumpy old man stage. I

137
00:09:16.679 --> 00:09:18.399
would agree with me too. That's
what happens when you can care, you

138
00:09:18.399 --> 00:09:20.720
can care. I don't care.
I just think that nowadays, in my

139
00:09:20.799 --> 00:09:24.480
generation, they just want a term
for every single thing we do. Yeah,

140
00:09:24.480 --> 00:09:26.879
it's it's it's it's how they find
identity. And I get it.

141
00:09:26.039 --> 00:09:30.120
I actually thought that this is a
term that would have been dead a long

142
00:09:30.159 --> 00:09:33.960
time ago. I think Mike O'Hearn
I don't want to say invented it,

143
00:09:33.960 --> 00:09:35.799
although I think he claims that he
definitely made it popular. And he is

144
00:09:35.840 --> 00:09:39.559
like a good definition of it because
he is fucking strong and he looks like

145
00:09:39.120 --> 00:09:43.320
their bodybuilder. He looks like a
Greek fucking god. And yeah, of

146
00:09:43.320 --> 00:09:46.000
course everyone wants to deadlift seven hundred
and look like a Greek god. But

147
00:09:46.039 --> 00:09:48.279
we're just not all going to be
there despite of how you train. All

148
00:09:48.320 --> 00:09:52.759
right, plug it ogie, where
can they find you at? Mike underscore.

149
00:09:52.799 --> 00:09:56.960
