Sometimes I like to imagine myself doing
a set of squats. Like I don't hurt
myself, but I put it down on the
safeties and I just actually pass out
because [music] I went so hard.
>> Are you considering you might be a
masochist?
[music]
>> My ears are ringing.
>> What's the next competition for you?
>> Yeah, [music] there we go. I'm training
arms with some like pray for me.
>> Cut to the first 5 seconds of the last
Rogan episode.
>> I've just exploded a can of Newtonic all
over my crotch as well. Jamie, have you
got a uh a napkin?
>> Premature everywhere.
My main plan was given Sam's high volume
of sprint training to give him this
whole turf area for the plyometrics.
>> I didn't hear about that part.
>> I think you're very well known for.
>> What I You know what I want to do though
soonish is get into get back onto a
diving board.
>> Well, yeah. He used to dive
>> you don't really forget how to
>> You reckon you still got it in the tank?
Oh,
>> that's I have to assume that's the same
as watching a hippo on a trampoline.
You're like, it's [ __ ] impressive,
but like how is physics allowing you
know bumblebees physically aren't
supposed to be able to fly?
>> That's you on a diving board.
>> I used to be able to do three and a half
on the low board. So like the thing's
[snorts] only like 3 ft above the water,
but you jump up like 10 feet in the air.
But that was when I was 200 lb. I tried
it again at like 250 lb and it's like
you just put a weight vest on and I you
just can't even spin that quick.
>> Yeah. So you're probably not doing arms
too often, are you?
>> Oh, yeah. Enough.
>> Enough.
>> That's a strange could be an insult.
Might not be a compliment that you're
probably not training arms that much,
are you? If you have to do a three-day
split, what would you do?
I guess I'd have to combine chest and
back.
>> Chest and back.
>> Shoulders and arms.
>> I guess skip shoulders. They're kind of
just big enough. Like the roundness of
my shoulder is more than my bicep, my
tricep. I want this to catch up. And
you're just cheating cuz there's more
androgen receptors all over here. So, I
haven't done like real shoulder press
three years or four years maybe. I have
a theory that uh big arms, small
shoulders makes you look like a fat guy.
Small arms, big shoulders makes you look
like a football player.
>> Yeah, big shoulders, small arms, you
kind of get this like
funkyish look.
>> I I think
>> you got pads on
>> to a degree, but of the two, big arms,
small shoulders is a most guys that
think they want big arms probably should
get big shoulders first because the
other way around, you're like just
playing catchup. You don't look like you
train. You just look like you might be
like a chunkier guy.
>> Yeah. More like a like a rock climber.
They got all the arms in the world, but
the shoulders.
>> This used to be a rock climbing job.
>> Yeah.
>> That's why the ceilings are so high.
>> There's like an alternate universe where
I was like getting really into rock
climbing cuz I worked at my YMCA's rock
wall till I was like 14 and I was like
getting really into it. Like we'd go
bouldering to like the fancier boulder
bouldering places.
>> Yeah.
>> But you are not built for bouldering
now. Sure.
You have a reasonable warm-up routine?
>> Uh, basically non-existent.
>> Well, like you just do what you're going
to do lighter and then you just
gradually go heavy to actually doing
like a real Yeah, sure. Lighter.
>> Well, don't start heavy cuz I did it.
>> That's as of yet not heavy, but
>> Oh,
>> it'll get heavy soon. Triceps is the one
thing I've got some OP
>> strength on.
This is probably the only movement that
I'm like actually a lot better at now
cuz if you watch like the first year's
worth of tricep workouts, I love doing
this.
>> I'm only I'm like this is it right here.
>> Like that was
>> partial cautial.
>> Yeah. And like I I got a pump and I
could feel it but now I appreciate like
a big stretch.
>> Yeah.
Oh
>> yeah. So, my thing is I'll sit here.
I'll try to hold this for like two
seconds, then go back down, hold it for
like 2 seconds.
>> Yeah.
>> And then when I can't hold it for two
seconds, I might do like a second.
>> Yep.
>> And then just a moment.
>> Yep.
>> And then it's at least with the rope,
it's like it's easy to fail cuz it's
like the hardest like right here.
>> Yep.
>> Cuz your hands like the furthest from
your elbow. So maybe I'll try like two
extra like it's not moving.
>> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
>> But I never want This is like especially
first set of the workout you could catch
yourself lying like can I really not do
one more
>> or am I just like racking it?
>> Yeah. I've noticed in your videos a lot
of the time you'll say let this first
set sort of set the tone
>> Yeah.
>> for the rest of the session. Which is a
really really good way. Like people
think it's basically the January first
of the gym routine.
>> Yeah. You know, like you if you have a
bad January 1st, you might as well just
skip the whole year. You [ __ ] it for
the whole year.
>> I' I've had ones where set number one
scrappy like hamstring curls. I'm
thinking of the same day. Yep.
>> Cuz it was so like abrupt. I like rack
it. Totally could have done five more.
>> And I'm like looking at myself, what the
[ __ ] did I just do?
>> Yeah.
>> I What am I nuts?
>> Wasted the whole time.
>> And like thinking about that, I'm like,
okay, that doesn't count. Now's the real
one.
>> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That was another warm
up. We'll put that in as another warm
up. Exactly. Very good. Come on the dog.
>> Just kidding. I don't think I could have
done another one.
>> All right. Well, that's just the full
stack, Sam. So, um, good to you.
If you don't come around here, you won't
be able to see the disparity between
what he is lifting and what I'm lifting,
which is my primary goal. That's all
relative.
>> Yeah. Come on.
>> Oh yeah.
>> Good ones at the end.
right now.
>> Yeah. Come on.
>> Thought you just give a little
something.
>> This is
>> Yeah, that's it.
>> Yeah, that's it.
>> Probably three of these. Three will be
good.
>> Come on then. Set two.
Come on.
Yep.
Okay.
It's good.
Yeah. Come on.
I'm always thinking this guys are like
so uh I mean even with we're saying the
[ __ ] about the social media like it's
all about projecting and looking right.
It's like a perfect set won't look
perfect at the end.
>> Yes.
>> If every if somebody did every rep just
oh so totally oh can't go all the way.
Oh let's rack it. It's like all right go
put some more lotion on your hands. Keep
them soft. It's [ __ ] nuts. But this
is uh what's his face Dorian aes thing
at the moment, right? Where he's on this
big tear against reps and reserve
training.
>> Yeah.
>> And I think if you hold yourself to too
high of a standard for form, your reps
and reserve inevitably end up ticking
up.
>> Yeah.
>> Like you're putting them into the reps
and reserve. But there is there is an
argument, right, that like [ __ ] me. If
you're doing like an incline barbell
press, be like, "Hey,
not like [ __ ] partials. Probably not
good." Especially with no spotter,
especially if it's heavy and you're
fatigued. That's basic.
>> You can do a nasty set of curls. You
can't do a nasty squat. Like there, so
there is like a limit. And I'm not even
like I wouldn't dog in the guy who's
thinking, "Okay, well, I want perfect
form, but I also want to go crazy." So,
if I saw somebody who's like totally
like just bringing it and they're making
sure that they're like not moving any
accessory muscle at all, that's also
fine. It's just I think the majority of
people who go, "Okay, perfect reps. Look
the part, wear my skim shorts and my
AS6." Like, I don't know if that's the
answer, you know?
>> Like, be like that clip of of uh of Tom
Platt screaming.
Like if anything, I saw that and I'm
like, I got to remember the last set I
did like that.
>> That's the answer.
>> I got to I got to up my game.
>> Come on.
So, I don't know if you saw, but I like
switched my holding approach from like
here
>> to
>> button them together.
>> Okay.
>> Like you're a little bit more stability.
>> Yeah. So, it's like switching from a
dumbbell curl like this.
>> Yeah.
>> To doing like a hammer curl. You can
probably do a couple more like that.
>> Yeah. Yeah.
>> Okay. Come on.
>> Squeeze it. [groaning]
>> Yeah, there it is. Couple more.
Ah,
[ __ ]
>> Yeah. See, you got a you got a little
more something in there.
>> Well, it's uh it's the same as
bodybuilding. You know, the bigger the
better. So, that's that's why I just
found the biggest lens. How I think
about it cuz like I've got I'm
bodybuilder Sam, right? But also to add
the camera component, I I don't want
this to take away from like the workout.
Uh, but also if I have fun with it, it's
easier to do and get better at. And
obviously a more expensive camera will
not make whatever you record look
better,
but sometimes it does. So bigger lenses
just look a little bit interesting. Some
people hate it, but some people like it.
Like I get mixed comments, go back to
normal or never go back to normal.
>> It's kind of funny. the the first
weights I actually started lifting was
like a 30 lb dumbbell set,
>> right,
>> I had in my bedroom next to my desk. So,
I'd be playing Fortnite and every time I
would end a game,
>> I would just do like 20 curls.
>> It's a good way. That's the original uh
8 hour arm workout.
>> That's the original 8 hour arm workout,
dude.
>> Like, honestly, as a Christmas gift, if
you're like, "Oh, I don't know what to
get my my 14-year-old son." Get him a
pair of 25s.
>> Don't tell him anything, but you just
put them in his
>> Let him have a play.
>> All right, they're there. Might
>> as well let us.
>> You're going to He's going to have to.
And I don't think you can force it. Like
I uh sometimes I think about this like
eventually miniature Sam. I had a guy
come up to me once. He's like, "How do I
get my kid into the gym?" The kid was
eight. I'm like, "I think he's okay."
>> Yeah. have them another
>> have them just like play like get them a
trampoline or something.
>> But it's like once they're actually
older,
>> you can't force it cuz like
>> pressure like that would turn somebody
off to the gym.
>> You want me to do it now? I really now
I'm not going to in spite of what you're
saying.
>> It's every kid that was forced to be
Christian growing up that's now like
super cool atheist bro like a religion
sucks man.
>> Yeah. They hate it. So I I don't know. I
guess I got time to figure out my game
plan.
as just a general thing. Like when
anybody's asking me, you know, what
should I train for abs? And I see guys
doing like weighted side bends,
>> I'm like, [ __ ] man. Quit doing. You're
just going to thicken up the side of
your waist.
>> Like I think you should be doing a bunch
of like weighted crunches like straight
down the middle
>> just for this front section.
>> But when I see guys doing like 100 lb
side bends, I'm like, dude, why do you
want a thicker waist?
>> Yeah. I mean, unless they're doing it
for some sports stability, but most of
the guys are doing it for aesthetic. you
just want to look good. And I I' I've
done it before cuz you're thinking,
"Okay, I'm going to work all my
interesting side, whatever." But it's
like,
>> nah, man. If you're just hitting regular
crunches,
>> these will be there enough. And you
don't want to just block yourself up.
Not that it'll happen overnight,
>> but I see it a lot.
>> Yeah. Come on.
>> Hit it.
Yeah, there it is.
>> Are you putting your hands that low on
purpose?
>> Like the bottom?
>> Yeah.
>> Habit.
>> I I just said this in a video cuz it's
like I'll see guy I've been seeing a lot
where it's the ego lifter like I'm
curling 100 pound dumbbells. Mhm.
>> When they hold it with their the top of
their hand at the top.
>> Uhhuh.
>> So the action of curling it from here to
here.
>> Yep.
>> Since their hand is at the top section
of the handle, the weight is actually a
little lower.
>> Yep.
>> So they're kind of cheating it by going
heavier.
>> Whereas if your hand was down there at
the bottom.
>> Yep.
>> You actually get more bicep. You're not
You're lifting it higher up in the air.
>> Yep.
>> I mean, now I didn't used to notice
that, but now I'm extra like
>> right in the middle.
>> Yeah. Yeah. Cool.
>> That's right.
>> Which I also guess means why you need
the straps.
>> Yeah.
>> It's more grippy. It's like I want to I
want to put enough like neural signals
into my biceps and you got to hold the
dumbbell, but I don't want to be send in
my head. I feel like you've got a
certain amount of bandwidth that you can
send to really fire. So, if I'm wasting
30% of my bandwidth on forearms,
what's happening with my biceps? Are
they not getting as much? Which might
just be overthinking, but it's just how
I think about it.
Come on.
Okay.
Oh my god. That's I would call the cusp
of any heavier than that would be
probably no more productive. Yeah.
>> And even that's probably more than
necessary,
>> but the mental angle of my enjoyment of
that is worth
>> curling something that most people press
is never not going to be satisfying.
>> Yeah. It makes it more fun.
>> Yeah. Come on.
Yeah. Come on.
[sighs and gasps]
>> Oh yeah. Hammer curls.
>> Yeah, there it is.
>> [ __ ]
>> Yeah, you just give a little extra
something.
>> Just a bit of sauce. Bit of sauce in the
system.
>> Would you grab me a water? Thank you,
man.
>> Need some awa.
>> Yeah, I'm [ __ ] dying. I've been um if
I'm hydrated like all the way before the
workout, I haven't been sipping mid
workout.
>> Yeah. Like even in summer.
>> Yeah.
>> But my gym doesn't have air conditioning
and I've been getting exposed to like 78
80° workouts
>> like
>> and long pants.
>> Yeah,
>> that is [ __ ] unhuman.
>> Last summer I could barely do it cuz I
was like bulking up.
>> But I've been dieting this whole summer.
Okay. So, I'm already a little colder,
so it made it easier to work out in the
hotter temperature.
>> There is nothing that you could do to
convince me
>> that I should train in long pants in 80°
weather with no water.
Come on, Sam.
>> Come on.
Yeah. Come on. Get it moving.
>> There we go.
>> I like this.
Yeah, definitely weighted though. If I
would do body weight, it'd be more for
chest
>> and I would like
>> So lean forward.
>> I'd lean way forward.
>> I used to do it a lot, but now I'm so
tight like in my everything up here.
>> I It's such a deep stretch.
>> I'm a little worried about
>> I have to work up to it.
>> I'd hate to pull my chest doing a dip
just for the fun of it.
>> I'm pretty sure one of the CrossFit
regionals competitions a few years ago
had like 10 pectors and it was uh dips.
>> Yeah. Yeah. I mean, with the pull-up,
the the part where they have the most
like swinging
>> Yep.
>> is the part where you're kind of like
probably not going to pull anything cuz
everything's like skeletal.
>> Yeah. The structure is holding them
together.
>> But this is all tendon and they're
[ __ ] bouncing.
>> I I feel like I remember hearing that,
>> dude. The idea I mean, I snapped an
Achilles. I fully ruptured an Achilles 6
years ago.
>> I had a dream that I did that and it
freaked me out.
>> I highly advise not doing it.
>> It's like if as a piece of lifestyle
advice, not rupturing your Achilles is
high up there.
Come on.
>> Come on. Dig in.
>> Come on.
Good shin.
>> Yeah. Even though at the bottom it's not
like squeezing is necessarily moving the
weight any further.
>> Yep.
>> Cuz now all the weight is just going
through your bones like you're just
holding it.
>> But by squeezing extra there's still
just something there.
>> All right, let's see how this feels.
bird.
>> Yeah, this one's tricky cuz you're kind
of strong for a long time and the last
ones they're like hard but you still
>> strength cliff just [ __ ] falls off a
curve. So Jesus Christ.
>> Yeah.
>> Oh man, I'm pumped.
>> Yeah, I like this. This is what my gym
is missing. A dip machine.
>> Yeah.
>> And an adductor machine.
>> Yeah. That's a inward one.
>> Yeah.
>> Is it got one of the outward ones?
>> Um
>> it's kind of weird if you had a gym that
just had one.
>> Yeah. I mean, the ones that I like are
individual. Like it's either in or out.
>> Yeah.
>> Uh but I only need the inward one. Like
if I imagine
>> you get enough medial glute work with
everything else.
>> Yeah. Like every squat, every uh every
bent over row, your glutes are involved.
some cool uh some of those machines
where
>> instead of just being in an arc,
>> it like pushes down in a way it's on an
angle as well. It's really really good.
>> Yeah, I've seen some of those. But yeah,
I want
>> my back. Sorry. My my lower back when I
find if I do clamshells or whatever,
>> if I've ever done them for rehab or when
I've been doing a bit more sport, my
lower back feels so nice after that, it
really feels like the whole midsection
just gets like secured nicely by having
that like stability work done. Or if
you've done crab walks for a bit, like
ah
>> some [clears throat] like pressure's
been relieved from my midsection. At
least it feels like that.
>> Maybe your glutes get a little tighter.
So kind of
>> was it what correctly pivots your
pelvis?
>> Yeah, cuz what I mean everybody's
walking around like this, right? Like
just arched, hunched, weird.
>> But yeah, I want I'm thinking like I
want this is where I'm here and below
grow and then
>> nothing
>> here and above grow.
>> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Everything
>> there's a no man's land
>> that I don't want work like guys.
>> There's a no man's land in the middle.
Unless you're like a full-on powerlter
and you're like, I need a stronger
posterior chain.
>> Yeah.
>> Like I don't know, man.
>> Or a sportsman, right? You want lock.
>> Yeah.
>> Exactly,
>> bro. I mean, I think about this when I
see uh wrestlers, especially the
wrestlers in the UFC when they've not
got singlets on, you can see their lower
back. And uh it is [ __ ] insane when
you see just how much those like
erectors like they're on top of someone
just smothering them. And it's just this
the guy's all back. These dudes are all
Dagistanis are like 95% back.
>> Yeah. You got to see like all the uh the
Chinese Olympic weightlifters. They're
doing snatches and stuff.
>> Mhm.
>> Like the way it's um and it's partially
just how they are like selected
>> because they're picking guys with a long
torso, short legs, but like their back
just looks nuts.
>> Well, they do like 100 kilo behind the
neck weighted GHDs.
>> Yeah. And it's nuts when they squat.
Okay.
>> Their ankles are so flexible, their
torso doesn't bend forward. They just
like
>> Yeah. Yeah.
>> 300 kilos.
>> Just like nothing.
>> Yeah. Completely upright. Yeah. It's
crazy. Crazy. Come on then.
>> Get stuck in. Big set.
>> Yeah.
Come on.
>> Let's go, Sam. Come on.
>> Yep.
>> I like this a lot.
>> Oh, yeah. Yeah. Make it heavy.
Hell yeah.
>> All right. For this one, I'll like I'll
get to the end pretty much and then just
>> It's probably easier to just like put
your foot on like this part.
>> Yep.
>> And just like push it down for like an
extra
>> partials or false.
>> Like a full round. So like
>> push it down for the down part and then
slowly let go. Yep.
>> So I can like ride it up to the top. Got
you. All
right. Help now.
Good.
[panting]
>> Okay, that was good.
>> Unless I needed to jump on top of it.
There was no more [ __ ]
>> No, that was sweet.
>> That was a one rep max single leg press,
though.
>> Yeah. [laughter]
Yeah, that kind of stuff's good. I think
there's there's something to the
assisted reps beyond failure
>> 100%.
>> Maybe not every set.
>> I like I got to say, man, I know that
sometimes people over complicate them.
>> I [ __ ] love Maya reps.
>> Like a rest pause, like just a rest
pause, but the final like four.
>> Yeah.
>> 3 seconds,
>> go again. 3 seconds, go again.
>> I can like do 10.
>> Yep.
>> It's pretty hard. 10 second just
>> I know there's as many as I can do.
>> Yep. Same again. Yeah, there's something
there.
>> Yeah, especially for me because I'm
traveling a good bit. If I don't get
enough volume in
>> doing that, but typically I'd be like,
I'm just going to go to failure in the
right rep range
>> and do like four sets. Like, that's
good. Well done. But I'm like, if I'm
not getting quite as much volume in, I
might as well just rest, go again, rest,
go again, and just accumulate more
volume throughout the week. I don't know
the science behind it, but it feels
better to me.
>> I think so. I uh that's one thing I
think about sometimes is like if I
wanted to what could I get away with in
terms of minimizing my training volume
like
>> Meneresque?
>> Yep.
>> Like what would it really be? What would
really be required to maintain?
>> Mhm.
>> Cuz maintaining is so much easier than
growing.
>> I I'm sure it would surprise me. But
>> you reckon you can do on two sessions a
week?
>> I don't It'd have to be crazy. I don't
know. But I might just be thinking
>> it'd have to be up or lower.
>> Yeah. Upper upper day would be [ __ ]
ruthless.
>> Yeah,
>> upper day would be smelly.
>> It would probably just turn into a
strength specific thing because if
you're maintaining your strength, you're
giving yourself enough mechanical
tension that you're probably also
maintaining.
>> Your body doesn't want to give up.
>> I'm definitely not going to go too heavy
because I want to go light enough I can
actually get to the top and then hold
it.
>> So, if I go too heavy, I won't be able
to do a whole rep.
Yeah, your range is going to be really
it's going to fall off pretty quickly.
>> Come on.
>> Oh yeah. Squeeze it.
I'm feeling it.
>> Okay. Come on. Come on.
Come on.
>> Come on.
>> Come on. Dig in.
>> I put my hands a little closer together,
but I I like this.
>> Yeah. What's the next competition for
you?
>> Being
>> there's nothing on the horizon at the
moment.
>> Yeah, it's um I'll see what happens. I
want the next one I do to be one that I
would really want to do
like if I finish this I'm going to gain
weight for the next like 6 months or 4
months something super slow cuz I want
to stay lean. Yep.
>> If at the end of that I decide I don't
want to be I've had enough being big and
strong. I now want to be lean again.
>> Yep.
>> I'd want to get lean for my own sake cuz
I like it. And then maybe I'm already
super appealed.
>> Roll that into a show.
>> Oh, there's a show in 3 weeks. Boom. Do
it like that.
>> Drop into prep.
>> Yeah, that'd be more fun for me. And
unless the point was to try to do a show
for like an Olympia qualification,
like my validation doesn't come from the
show.
>> Yeah.
>> Even winning the first two, like it was
awesome. It's like sweet. Like proof of
like I'm doing all this stuff.
>> But if I never did the show, I would
still be me.
>> Y
>> probably just as big. Maybe bigger cuz I
wouldn't have spent 6 months [laughter]
dieting.
>> Yeah.
>> Like I think to describe
>> a little bit less lean, a little bit
bigger.
>> Yeah. Fewer trophies, similarly proud.
>> Yeah. Oh, if not similarly, probably the
same.
>> Yeah.
>> Like I'm The whole point of the
bodybuilding isn't man, I want to work
my biceps right now for
>> No, it's like
>> Have you always been that way? Have you
always been uh
>> Yeah. The logic
>> internally motivated?
>> Yeah. But it's just cuz I really like
something about this whole setup.
>> Yep.
>> It's It doesn't necessarily relate to
everything else.
But with the gym at least, the reward of
simply getting bigger and like being big
and strong and like what comes along
with that. And I don't think I'm
motivated by like other people seeing
that I'm big,
>> but it probably helps. I probably don't
mind it.
>> I wouldn't underestimate the power of
social like validation.
>> Exactly. So that's in there, too.
>> Even if it's not the priority, it's
always a good little performance
booster.
>> Yeah, but it's just for the fun of it,
though.
>> Yeah. Come on.
Come on.
>> Oh, yes.
>> [ __ ] Oh.
>> Uh, come on.
>> Come on. D.
>> This is probably the most spacious gym
I've been in for a long time.
>> It doesn't feel empty.
>> It It's like very intentional, but it's
nice and open.
>> Yeah. I mean, it is weird. Like, I've
literally trained all over the world,
especially the UK's got some great gyms,
some great bodybuilding culture gyms. I
can make an argument for any I can make
an argument for basement, no windows.
Mhm.
>> I can make an argument for gritty
indooroutdoor thing. Little bit airy but
still kind of spit and sawdust.
>> Mhm.
>> I can make an argument for this
multi-million dollar couple of month old
large professional athlete thing.
>> Like
>> there's lots of ways to get a gym wrong.
>> Yeah.
>> But there's also lots of ways to get it
right. I don't think oh this is there's
too many windows or it's too bright and
airy or it's too high ceiling or too low
ceiling or too like if the vibe's right,
the vibes
>> Yeah. Right. I The rule is that there
are no rules. Like there's no one thing
about a gym where I can say if it
doesn't have this, you're screwed. And
yeah, I mean there's there's this one
gym in Michigan I really like. First
floor is commercial gym. Basement is a
dungeon.
>> Oh, that's cool.
>> And it used to be a bank, so they got a
vault with a squat rack and a bench.
>> It's crazy.
>> Yeah.
>> Hello.
>> Oh yeah.
>> [music]
>> There you go.
>> Hell yeah.
>> My ears are ringing.
>> You ever You ever see stars like after a
good set? Never upper body, but only
like legs. I'll get that sometimes.
>> I'm uh
>> a little bit of tunnel vision.
Sometimes I like to imagine myself doing
a set of squats so good that at the end
after I fail like I don't hurt myself
but I put it down on the safeties and I
just actually [music] pass out for real
because I went so hard.
>> It's never happened but I like to think
about that just as like a this [music]
mental motivation.
>> Have you considered you might be a
masochist?
>> Well, it's it's not for the point of
enduring the discomfort. It's knowing
that you gave 100.
>> It's like knowing that you really
brought it. One of my buddies when we
started working out together, he'd
always be like hyping me up in a set or
like yelling at me
>> or like when guys do a squat and they're
like smack the dude's back. And in my
head, I want like for them that's like
amping them up. Like I want a crazy set
like that for me, like a squats.
>> Mhm.
>> Like I almost wanted it to like not
freak somebody out.
>> Yep.
>> But like make it where they're sitting
and they're like,
>> "What the [ __ ] is he doing?
>> He's not going to do another one." And
then like three more.
>> It's the Tom Flats in you. Yeah.
>> Yeah. There's the Tom flats.
>> Like that's definitely an angle where I
want to squat at a public gym.
>> So there's people there.
>> Yeah. The bar for being freaked out is
lower.
>> Yeah.
>> Yeah. And I mean also Yeah. Like
freaking Mark shows up to the gym the
next day after I squatted and I'm just
like pinned under the
>> Yeah.
>> It's like I always use the safeties but
you never know.
>> Come on then. Last one.
>> Yeah. Yeah. Come on.
Come on.
>> But yeah, I definitely think about that
cuz there's nothing else that actually
stretches your long head that much.
>> Yeah.
>> Yeah, man. I mean, rope.
>> You like the
>> bottom mounted up and over for me is
[ __ ] lovely. Yeah,
>> I like the easy bar at shoulder height
and then I just put my leg up against
the thing. So, here's the handle.
>> Okay.
>> Flip it up. So, now I'm doing that
overhead.
>> Okay. But it's straight across.
>> I'm not balancing up here.
>> Yeah. Yeah.
>> Like I'm fully locked in against the
thing.
>> Oh, I see. So, your ass is on the actual
machine.
>> Yeah.
>> Basically,
>> that's I'm always going to pick that
over like a full-on overhead. I used to
like throwing a dumbbell behind my back
like that. Bop bop bop. One time your
shoulder mobility though.
>> Yeah, I'm I'm tight now. I'm like 170 in
my high school gym. I throw a hund over
my head. I'm sitting on a bench like
flat.
>> Yep.
>> Throw the hund over.
Fall backward. And I was like l I
thought to like throw it to the side.
>> Yeah. As opposed to trying to
>> Yeah. It's like dumbbell hits the
ground. I'm flipped over on my head.
>> Yep. Dude, I remember the first time.
>> I don't think I did it again after that.
It's a lesson you don't need to learn
twice. I think the first time I ever
pressed
>> 25 kilos, so 55 lbs in uni, I would have
been maybe 19.
>> Yeah.
>> In the university gym, incline dumbbell
press. I remember I got them to here,
kicked them 3/4 of the way up. And my
right hand just like went like at this
speed.
>> Yeah.
>> And then it just like rested on my nose
and I bailed it out off my face. Like
nothing was damaged, but it was so
[ __ ] f Every time I pick up 25s now,
I think for the rest of my life when I
pick up 25s, I'm gonna think I I lowered
that onto my own face when I was 19.
>> Yeah. All right. So, here I'm thinking
uh
>> I'll let you go
>> just Well, I got I got to rest for a
second. All right.
>> But I'm It'll be up here first.
>> I'll do like what I don't know 20
something. Honestly, I'm not even as
concerned about making sure I like
totally hit failure on the last set
>> cuz like those rope extensions were so
good and those dips, especially with the
assisted one, super good as like a
finish. I'm actually thinking more like
just get a bunch of blood in the area.
>> Kind of just like still go hard,
>> but I don't need to go totally 100%
every
>> which is kind of counterintuitive what I
normally say.
>> But that and then slam the cable to the
ground and just instantly set curls
right after kind of like super seted.
>> Wednesday.
>> Yeah, there we go. some sulic day.
>> Hell yeah.
>> Come on. Last one.
>> Oh yeah.
>> [ __ ]
>> Can you get that side? Yeah.
>> All right. Carlin.
>> Yeah. Come on.
>> Oh yeah.
>> Few more.
[music]
Oh yeah.
>> [ __ ] How are you?
>> Come on then. Last one.
Come on.
Yeah.
>> Good.
Good. Good.
Okay,
that's off. That's enough of that.
Little little sand pose down. Oh
goodness. Some gyms have actual like
posing rooms. Personally, I'm not so
picky. As long as the lighting is good,
it's cool. But let's see what we're
looking like
here.
Oh, I'd call that freaking done.
>> That's a finisher.
I'm
>> dying. Is it 100 out or is it 110? Like
that's a real Texas question. So, you
know, I get this question a lot. Are you
going to Are you from LA? Are you going
to move to Vegas? It's like the classic
influencer. Like Ohio is fine for now.
Eventually I'll go somewhere, but I
think this trip might have crossed Texas
off the list.
>> Too hot.
>> Little hot.
>> Great company though.
>> Yeah,
>> wonderful company.
>> Too hot.
>> A little hot.
>> And Vegas apparently is not too hot.
>> Uh
>> I haven't been there when it's really
hot.
>> So I I I don't have that connection.
>> Dangerous. But I know it is hot.
>> I mean, Death Valley is in Vegas.
So, yeah, America is so [ __ ] wide.
Like, it's so vast. There's so many
different places you can go that are
cool.
>> Yeah.
>> Uh,
I [ __ ] love Boseman, man. If if it
weren't for the fact that Montana is
completely uninhabitable for like 8
months of the year. If I could have the
summer months of Montana, game over.
>> But I'm not I'm not going to be a
>> It's cool over there.
That's like a late game.
The Montana Ranch House is late game.
>> Would you consider New York?
>> Nah. Too much hustle and bustle.
>> Probably. If I think ideal, I I don't
know what ideal is. I'm not there yet.
But whatever I think it would be, by the
time it's time to decide, I'll know.
Somewhere warmer, not hot.
Gyms. There's gyms everywhere. I'm not
thinking about that.
>> Yep.
>> Just make your own gym. Even better.
>> Yep. got all the stuff. Just have to
ship it.
>> Yeah. Unlucky on the moving men, but
that's allowed.
>> Yeah. Yeah. It's the end of arms
building Braraw and Brain with the uh
with the infamous Chris Williamson.
>> Appreciate you, man. Thank you. Thank
you for coming on. See you again soon.
All right. Goodbye, my beauties.
