We're rolling a Topic Thunder episode today because of holidays and travel and Mike's under the weather, so we're going to get some fresh content content out to you. And so here it is our Topic Thunder episode about whether people should actually be saying the word power building. All right, we got we got, we got Matt ogie with us again. Uh, Matt, I'm assuming that people have actually like seen your work out there in the real world. I know, yeah, that you've done some stuff that's kind of on the impressive to me side.

1:19 It's out there. Yeah, there's some stuff out there. Yeah. Yeah, So like, what have you done? Real quick? Here? Who are you? Who are am I bring that Mike a lil closer to your mouth. It's yeah, I am just a twenty four year old kid that has worked on cars from seventeen till now. Yeah, and now I'm here. And sometimes they sometimes they've been in movies. Sometimes yes, I heard your best friends with Heath Ledger. Oh he's dead. By the time that time movie came out, I was like, twelve, What did I do in that movie? I don't know, Maybe you should have. I was just like, I'm connecting large, huge dots. No, no, no underage stuff here. And you can be best friends with someone who passed by the way. Yeah, that's true. But if we were talking about work, like I had no work at twelve years old, okay, but five years later sounds like you're a lazy kid. Five years later, it was like, yeah, ten, there were some cars that I've seen, some movie scenes and stuff like that that we've done work on what probably not.

2:19 You don't have to say the movie, yeah, but you've seen him on screens supercars, that's all you have to say. That's all you say, Well, welcome to this episode of Topic Thunder. So my question right now comes from the instagram of our friend Joe Sullivan, who says that we should stop using the word power building. Oh yeah, I just saw Omar did a video on it too. I didn't watch it. Yeah, I don't know. I would just saw Joe a week ago or two weeks ago and Brandy did he give an ext nation? Well, he hates it, mostly just hates it. That's fair. I used to talk shit on it.

3:05 Kind of it's kind of not descriptive. I guess of what I mean. I can bring up what he actually said, but I'm just like, yeah, I think I don't know. I I think maybe I've just been in too long. So long, I just don't give a fuck, Like you could call it ballet and be deadlifting, Like I really don't care, Like none of it really affects me that much. But I do understand the view of it because I think I used to kind of, you know, throw a little semi jokes at it too, because it is like, well, it's just not that creative of a term, right, Like you're literally just throwing two words together, and then like, what are the change, like how many people do you know? And like powerlifting in general should be power building. Maybe that's like his argument, right, because like you have to like squat, then you should probably go do some kind of leg extension, leg press like belt squat type deal. Like so okay, you handle the bar bell and then you handle the hypertrophy move, so you're like automatically a power builder. Yeah, assist this moves are almost always muscle building in some way. Yeah, and even the main movement, like you're gonna do sets of five and ten closest to failure to build muscle in that movement with particular muscles that assist that do their jobs like the main movers and a bench are built by doing a bench. Yeah, for sure. His actual posts said power building is a stupid word and we should stop all stop using it, basically saying that it's semantics. Yeah that's yeah, I mean I agree, I agree, And then I mean the opposite could be true too.

4:35 But because like bodybuilding, training isn't bodybuilding, no, right, Like bodybuilding is like being naked on a stage posing, Right, that's the sport of bodybuilding. And we've talked about that a lot in the past. Two've gotten in not debates between you and I, but just the world are people where if you want to call like bodybuilding a sport, I would say no, and I would say bodybuilding training is more athletic. And we used to go into at some point we'd looked up the definition of sport and whatever, like posing on a stage with some like pretty subjective judging isn't a sport to me. I think it's a way to describe athletically focused strength training that isn't competitive power building, yeah, yeah, yeah, but then yeah, and then like you ask probably you as one hundred people on fucking Instagram what they do, ninety percent are going to describe something like power building. And I mean, in reality, a lot of people are gonna say if you ask them what they wanted to look like, they essentially want to look like a bodybuilder, not a big bodybuilder necessarily, but like yeah, Sea bomber, yeah, notice likely noticeably muscular, yeah, or jacked NFL players Yeah, And the whole the whole thing's weird then too, because then you get like the strict strength and conditioning guys, and they're arguing, like training like an athlete, look like an athlete, I'm like, we just don't really have the same genetic Like I could do whatever the fuck Lebron's doing, and we ain't gonna look the same. You're not gonna be taller, Yeah, our Miles Garrett, Like those guys are built like crazy athletic bodybuilders, and sure they're

6:10 probably doing like hand cleans and some more athletic style movements, but like me doing that, I'm not going to look like that. Certain people on your genetic spectrum will have to train very more strict bodybuilding bodybuilding diet to even semi look like a bodybuilder. Yeah. Like, and then we all have friends and people we know that barely work out and look fucking insane, which I hate those people. Are you doing anything? Yeah? Some people like just sprint or like there's runners, you know, like and you're like, damn, that dude's like jacked, Like what the fuck is he doing? So I don't know where I was going with that, but yeah, I think it's it is like an amateur random Jim bro is all. They're all power builders. I think it's just working out. Yeah, it is. That's another thing too. People still get mad about no wonder maybe do you like a poll? Somewhere. But like the training versus workout, that was like a huge thing for a long time. People get all mad and like, oh, we don't work out. We trained and trainings for a goal.

7:04 I say the word training, but that's just because like that's it's just like never stopped. Like I trained for basketball, and then I trained in basketball, and then now he trained, and that's gotten more popular. I was listening to The Rock and Joe Rogan talked the other day, and they're talking about training. They don't say like, oh, we work out. They're like, oh, we trained in the gym, and it's true, you know, like but their experience is the same. The Rock was a fucking d one football player, a little bit of like pro am Cype football, and then he trained to be a WW guy and now he trains for his physique for movies. Yeah, and same with the Rogan. You know, he's competitive m M A and blah blah blah blah or kickboxing and then he trained and then now we trained. So yeah, none of it really like piston did you say, Riley Reid because you said training, Yeah, Riley Reid, are you talking about sexual trains? It was just a yeah, it was the input, like train, that's disgusting, that's absolutely disgusting.

7:56 How did we get here? How did we get here? Just like ten in the morning, you're thinking about pornography. Keep running, just keep running that way, You're like, yeah, actually I worked on that bang bus that they filmed. That's my greatest That's the thing. You can't talk about, whether bang bus or fucking both. Answer b What if your career was secretly all your NDAs is that you build bang busses and fucking casting coscies. You're for sure probably hide that too. So that's the truth. Un Riley retrains the rock trains power building probably is over used in a weird term.

8:37 But it doesn't personally bug me. It doesn't bug me either, But it used to the fuckers bug me. I'm like you, I used to bother me a little bit too, But you know, in the end, it doesn't really matter people. If people go work, I don't care what the fuck they call it. They can call it, you know, yeah, they can call it cheesemaking for all I care. Yeah, same and yeah, same thing. I used to be like, and I'm won a many It ran about like functional fitness, and it does it is stupid. It's a really stupid term. But like again, if you're like, if I meet someone and they're like, yeah, you know an expert functional fitness, right compete in functional fitness, Like, I don't really care. I just don't care enough anymore. I am at the grumpy old man stage. I would agree with me too. That's what happens when you can care, you can care. I don't care. I just think that nowadays, in my generation, they just want a term for every single thing we do. Yeah, it's it's it's it's how they find identity. And I get it.

9:26 I actually thought that this is a term that would have been dead a long time ago. I think Mike O'Hearn I don't want to say invented it, although I think he claims that he definitely made it popular. And he is like a good definition of it because he is fucking strong and he looks like their bodybuilder. He looks like a Greek fucking god. And yeah, of course everyone wants to deadlift seven hundred and look like a Greek god. But we're just not all going to be there despite of how you train. All right, plug it ogie, where can they find you at? Mike underscore. Oh her, I don't know no, and that's the Natty King though, that is. But Matt Underscore. G there you go.
