Ready to rumble?
Yeah, we're going.
All right, what are we talking?
You had something?
You were talking about something?
I don't remember what happened.
Did you hit the button?
I hit the button, and you just got back from the bathroom because you had to poop.
But now I feel like I need to after all this coffee.
Is that a thing?
Like poop envy?
It could.
Well, yeah, because have you ever...
It's contagious.
It's bedtime, whenever you're laying down,
someone gets up to go to...
Like your boyfriend or something goes up to the...
I mean, your girlfriend gets up to go to the bathroom
and you can hear them peeing standing up.
And then now you have to go?
And then all of a sudden you hear that drip,
and then you're just like, ah, I think I got to go.
Maybe that has something to do with pooping too.
Yeah, I don't know.
You know, every Friday we have this squat session.
We have these squats that go on every Friday.
It's Friday morning at 6 a.m.
We train with my boy, our boy, Ryan Spencer.
Super Training homegrown, Ryan Spencer.
Ryan's been training with Super Training pretty much just since Super Training's infancy.
Not from the very, very beginning, but pretty much so.
Was he a paying client, I guess you would say?
Yeah, he was paying a member back in
the day uh back when we we charged um and um yeah ryan has been amazing he's been an amazing
lifter for us for a long time he competed uh at the arnold classic um probably shit probably now
six seven eight years ago um and he squatted uh he did a 501 squat
he benched like 314 um i don't want to say he pulled like six um competing in the usa pl and
also you know weighing a buck 65 you know ryan's a fierce competitor and um you know it's a huge
reason why you know why i wake up so early in the morning and and why we decided to uh you know, it's a huge reason why, you know, why I wake up so early in the morning and why we decided to, you know, get down and dirty with him and train in the morning is because that guy knows how to get after it.
Yeah. And he knows how to kind of fight for it. And, you know, I wouldn't be I wouldn't be waking up that early in the morning, you know, if I didn't think it would be beneficial.
So we're popping up.
I'm popping up at 4 a.m. because I like to eat before I train, get my meal in.
To me, the nutrition side of things is very important.
And so I try to make sure I'm nourished before the training session, get some of that in,
and then, you know, get to the gym on time and all that kind of then, um, you know, get to the gym on time
and all that kind of stuff. But it's hard to get to the gym on time because I always got to poop.
I always got to poop. You know, I have two poops every morning. It's like, um,
it's kind of like when you throw up, you know, when you throw up,
when you puke, you know, you let everything out and you're like whoo man like i threw up okay
got it over with i was really fearful like i didn't want to throw up because it's just such
a horrible thing but that seems like the situation my body's making me do this like i have something
in my stomach that it needs to get rid of okay we went through the process we got rid of it
everything should be kind of cool now and then five minutes later you're like oh no like i gotta throw up again i can't believe it
and there you go you puke again and sometimes when you're really sick you get like the dry heaves
like you puke and puke and puke and you puke and there's like there's nothing down there anymore
there's nothing there to be like drained out and that's one of the reasons why I hate throwing up is normally when I get sick, I get so sick that it ends up being like that.
Where I'm just like, my body wants to get rid of every last drop and it wants to squeeze it out of there.
And so I'm throwing up.
And I'm such a baby about it.
I hate doing it.
But I feel like my asshole goes through the same thing.
Like, I feel like my butthole is going through the same process.
It's like I poop and everybody's like, you know, the stomach, the intestines, the butthole.
Everybody seems to be in agreement.
Like, okay, we're done.
The brain, the brain's like, yep, everything's clear.
That's everything.
Even my toilet bowl is like, yep, we cleaned it out.
Like your butthole is all good to go.
Dried it off.
Everything's, you know, I hit the dryer button on my super secret toilet.
And, uh, you know, I feel like I'm on my way and I'm like, okay, everything's chill.
I start packing everything up for the gym and I'm getting ready.
I load some stuff into the back of the car that I needed for the day and,
uh,
hop in the car. Every intention on getting here at like five 30,
five 40 to get a little extra hamstring work that I wanted to do.
I sit in the driver's seat and I'm like,
Oh,
it just immediately stopped me dead in my tracks.
I'm like, you know where I'm going?
I'm going nowhere.
I'm running right now, full sprint to the bathroom, holding the butt cheeks.
And I got to be careful on even how I run.
I like got down real low in this like funky squat position.
Yeah.
Cause my stomach hurt.
So I was trying to like lean forward to like brace the stomach from like hurting but i didn't want to lean forward so much
that that i blew everything out the back yeah yeah so i'm in this weird squatty position
where i got like the feet waddling out i should actually show you guys the run so you can
that'd be great get an idea of what it looks like and then for whatever reason i just like
sat on the toilet just blew it just blew it out like dumb and dumber styrofoam, like feet, feet up in the air and everything.
Like, like your body just totally ignored the fact that you just unloaded everything.
Yeah.
Like, Hey, didn't we all have a discussion about this?
Didn't we?
We were all in agreement.
Everybody just a couple minutes ago.
It's like when you ask your kid, like, Hey, you know, use the bathroom.
They're like, I went already.
You're like, are you sure? Like, you know, use the bathroom. They're like, I went already. You're like, are you sure?
Like, you know, cause we're, we're going on a long drive.
We're going to your grandmother's and you know, it takes 20 minutes plus there's traffic
might be in the car for 30 minutes.
Just go to the bathroom and try.
Just go to the bathroom and try.
And they claim that they do.
They probably don't ever do it, but five minutes into the trip, they got to go.
Well, my butthole has been behaving
the same way as a kid's bladder and it's not it's not going well yeah and it's preventing me from
getting places on time and i'm tired of it i'm just i'm really concerned about the uh like the
shuffle thing that you got going on you think i'm gonna pull a hamstring well there's that but like
i think i mean out of all areas i have some experience in this area
probably almost equal to you um i kind of once you once you feel that urge coming you have to
lock it in and stay tight until that wave goes away that's when you sprint to the bathroom because
if you do both while the wave is still coming, you'll have... You'll mess yourself.
Yeah, exactly.
You'll mess your pants.
So if you stay tight, it's kind of like staying tight at the bottom of a squat.
You hold it all in.
That's when you can eventually get over that hard, crampy feeling.
Then you're good to go.
I don't even know why it happened.
And I don't know why.
It's been happening late.
It's been happening lately, but it really, I mean,
the double poop, it happens every morning.
It's really of no surprise at this point.
It happens at the most convenient or most inconvenient time too.
Always.
Because I cook for myself and I cook for my kids.
So a lot of times, a lot of times I'll cook some, I'll cook up some food.
And as soon as my stuff is done every single time, like clockwork, as soon as it's done, it's nice and warm.
Everything looks so good.
I might even sit down.
I might even get a bite in and then I got to go.
It's like I got struck by lightning.
And it's like, you better make a decision now.
You know, it's either you sit here and mess yourself and keep eating.
Or you, you know, you handle this the way you should and just run off to the bathroom.
Yeah.
As soon as I got to the gym this morning, I mean, everyone kind of already knew.
But just, you know, like, hey, guys, as soon as I get to the gym, I'm running straight for the bathroom, because it's
poop number two time. Well, that's why we have baby wipes
here, too, because how gross is it
to poop at the gym
and then have to squat? Right.
Like, you can't get the butt as clean as you need to
get it with regular wiping methods.
This is how thoughtful I am.
Thank you, Andrew. I appreciate it. I'm taking
a dump, and I'm like, okay, we're squatting today.
What if somebody needs to spot me? And they're behind me, and they're just like, dude, Andrew. I appreciate it. I'm taking a dump and I'm like, okay, we're squatting today. What if somebody needs to spot me?
And they're behind me and they're just like, dude, Andrew smells like shit.
So I get way up in there.
Yeah.
Just clean everything up.
You might be the cleanest.
You might have the cleanest butthole in the whole gym.
So many reps and sets.
You know, I just get in there.
I might be able to see my own reflection in that thing.
Yeah.
Spick and span.
It's just re-eat, re-eat, re-eat, re-eat.
I don't want to say it's clean enough to eat off of, but you know.
It might be.
Or.
I don't want to.
Man, we got problems.
But neither one of us are ever here on time.
We can't ever do it on, well, not necessarily like that we're not on time,
but we're not as early as we'd like.
We're trying to get here a little earlier and it's just not happening.
Yeah.
This morning was, it was kind of tough just because I got, it's just, yesterday was one of those days where you're looking at the clock like, okay, it's 7.
Look at the clock.
All right, it's 8.15.
Look up at the clock.
Okay, it's 10 o'clock and I still have X, Y, Z to do.
okay it's like it's 10 o'clock and i still have x y z to do and so i got to bed late but um we ended up hitting up a new costco in elk grove and it was awesome because uh it looked exactly
like the costco that brian shaw goes to in colorado it obviously costco's kind of all look
the same yeah but the way this one situated it just just was identical to the one he goes to. So I got all fired up, and I got all kinds of food last night.
But after it was all done, we ate dinner.
And I looked at my girl, and I'm just like, dude, we did it.
She's like, what are you talking about?
I'm like, we won.
She's like, what are you talking about?
It's like 10.30.
We did all this.
We ate dinner.
We got groceries.
We got meal prepped for tomorrow.
And we're in bed by 10.30. I'm like, we got groceries, we got meal prepped for tomorrow, and we're in bed by 1030.
We fucking won.
Celebrate by going right to sleep.
But it just was like, I didn't think we were going to be able to get it all in.
Got it all in.
And we did it.
Got it in.
And then I woke up and got it all out.
There we go.
Somebody just asked a weird question why is it for guys in their 20s to establish a mentor
manti relationship i don't know what that means mentee i think they're basically trying to ask
like how important is it to establish a mentor relationship that's a serious question let's get back to uh more important things like our
shits no actually uh i think we're we've we've covered that pretty well for this uh
this beginning session of this but uh this other guy jam he asked uh about conor mcgregor and
and khabib there we go who do we think is going to win now khabib has been ferocious and uh
he's been very dominant i
mean he's been one of the more dominant guys to come in in a while um i kind of question though
too like i know that he's i know he's beaten some uh really good fighters but um
i don't know man sometimes the ufc is weird where you think these guys are on a tear
and you think they're the second coming you know and then they're just not so i don't know, man. Sometimes the UFC is weird where you think these guys are on a tear and you think they're the second coming, you know, and then they're just not.
So I don't think Khabib's been around long enough.
Like, that's my answer is like, I don't think he's been around long enough to be crowned as some special king.
Now, if he, you know, makes waste of Conor McGregor very easily and completely dominates him. Then we have something else going on.
Um, I don't think Conor McGregor has ever really even been knocked down before, uh,
in a fight.
I mean, I know he's lost some fights and stuff like that.
Obviously Khabib has that wrestling skill.
You should be able to kind of throw him around a little bit, even, uh, as skilled as Conor
McGregor is, but I got Conor McGregor in this.
I think, I just think that Conor McGregor is a champion.
And I think that, you know, his loss to Diaz and then, uh, you know, the, the fight after
that, when it was still pretty close and stuff like that, just the truth of that is Diaz
is a badass.
I mean, he's a legit fighter and, and, uh, the Diaz brothers, both of them, either one of them can be any great, great fighter on any given day.
I'm not going to go as far as to compare McGregor to Muhammad Ali.
But I think that he's probably the closest thing that we'll ever have since no one is really relatable to what Muhammad Ali was able to do.
I'm surprised the odds makers have Khabib in favor by 160 points.
I mean, I guess because McGregor's been out, but...
Yeah.
I don't know, man.
People get really hyped behind McGregor.
I think McGregor, I think he's...
What I would be nervous about, and I'm sure Khabib's not nervous about much.
He used to fight and wrestle bears or something like that but my concern would be the fact that um like i know
mcgregor has when he has had a microphone he's been going nuts but he also held off on a lot of
that he didn't go on a world tour the bias for this pay-per-view are probably you know significantly
lower than what they've had in the past.
Yeah.
You know, I've heard, heard some preliminary numbers.
They think they're going to reach and they don't know if they're going to get to 2 million buys and things like that.
And obviously it's, it's lower than, uh, you know, uh, Connor and Nate and, and things
like that.
But, but anyway, it's going to be an awesome fight.
I'm getting at my house, inviting a lot of people over.
Um, tomorrow's going to be an awesome fight. I'm getting at my house, inviting a lot of people over. Um, tomorrow's going to be a great day.
Tomorrow we have the seminar going on.
And, uh, after the seminar, I have some people over the house and we'll have a partay and we'll have the fights going on.
Um, Joey said she's going to make slutty brownies.
I was like, Joey, listen, you know, uh, you're, you're great.
I love having you here, but you know, you need to understand that I'm married and I don't know about this slutty brownie thing i'm gonna have to tell my wife we might have
to report this to april right i'm gonna have to you know it's gonna be a thing i don't know about
these brownies slutty brownies is that like a a pack of like 10 chicks i i see that's what i'm
thinking i'm like you know we're not shooting a rap video. We've done that before. But, you know, we're not really doing that same thing.
So she said something about them being really hot and stuff like that.
And I was like, you know, like I said, I don't know anything about any of this.
Extra moist.
These slutty brownies are going to taste delicious and stuff like that.
I was like, I can't make a comment one way or the other.
Sounds amazing, but I don't know what's going on.
So now I'm not even concentrated on the fight.
I'm just thinking about these brownies.
Man, I'm going to try to make it back to your place.
You've got a stupid brother, you said, right?
Yeah, my dumbass brother's having a birthday party.
But here's what he did, which was a total dick move.
Because if it was his birthday party, here's what he did which was a total dick move because if it was his birthday party it's not necessarily like i mean yeah it would be a really big dick move for me to
just i'm gonna go watch the fight but he's combining his daughter like two daughters birthday
parties at the same time because they're they're about the same birthday so they're like oh we're
just gonna combine all of them so now it's's like, well, okay, now I'm going to be the asshole brother and the asshole uncle twice if I don't go.
That's awesome.
I'm hoping, but it's like, if I go to the-
Putting the pressure on you because of the kids.
Yeah.
So my Saturday will be seminar here, shoot out to Lincoln, finish up there, and then head back to Davis.
Because I really want to hang want to i mean i want to
hang out and watch the fights so i looked into it oh shit a helicopter is only 250k okay here's the
problem it's only a two-seater so like that's brand new though now i think if we went used
we might be able to get a better deal and And then I know that you know some people.
I know.
I know people.
You know people.
And I know that you know some of your own people.
And I bet you that they can get a hookup.
I mean, they could probably get an airplane probably for what?
Six grand, four grand?
Not an airplane, but a helicopter, I mean.
Yeah.
I could just get a social security card and trade that for probably a plane ride, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, I mean, or...
Because my people need those.
Yeah, I mean, maybe you and some of your buddies can throw together a helicopter for us.
I mean, what do you think?
Shit, anything's possible.
You have a mechanical background a little bit, right?
Yeah, yeah, a little bit.
You know how to fix some cars and things like that?
I know how to fix a 91 Nissan 240.
Well, there you go.
Outside of that, I'm not very familiar.
So we'll take that.
We'll put a propeller on it.
And we'll start from there.
That sounds good.
Because you're going to have to get around quick tomorrow.
Right.
So, I mean, the two-seater thing for the helicopter.
Makes it tough.
Might be tough.
But if I just go by myself and use the extra seat.
Jasmine's kind of small.
That's true.
And she probably kind of stuffed her into something, you know?
Stuff her into a small area, right?
She's pretty bendy.
Yeah, yeah.
For, you know, as a little kid.
Stick her in there somewhere.
She'll be fine.
Hmm.
And then, are we just going to land in the park next to your place?
You can land on the Slinger Mansion, land on the roof.
I just figured that you
The roof opens up.
I don't know if you knew that.
Okay, I wasn't sure
if your helicopter
was going to be parked there
or not.
If you were down to move it
for the night.
It would be,
wouldn't that be great
to have a helicopter?
I mean,
Are we going to have vehicles
that like are
going through the air?
We're too stupid for that.
Yeah.
I mean, no, I don't, I mean, You think the hoverboards were're too stupid for that. Yeah. I mean,
no,
I don't,
I don't,
I mean.
You think the hoverboards were like too scary of a thing?
Like them igniting on fire going down the street?
Yeah.
Or,
uh,
people like falling off of cliffs and shit like that.
We got drones.
Drones are cool.
But if a drone was just powerful enough that you can just hang on to it and like be dropped
off somewhere.
Allow me to pull up a video.
Let me find it.
Uh-oh.
Somebody asked me about, there's some good questions coming in,
so I'm going to answer some of these.
Thank you guys for asking your questions.
Hang in there.
We're going to get to some of these.
Somebody's asked me about my nutrition.
I'll write this down.
Current nutrition.
For now, Andrew and I are having fun.
We're messing around here.
Current nutrition. For now, Andrew and I are having fun. We're messing around here. Current nutrition.
Here's where we are in the world.
Oh, wow.
Okay.
Well, we're seeing a video of this guy in his underwear, apparently.
He looks like he's on a toilet bowl.
And he has, what, maybe 100 drones hooked up to something,
and he's powering himself off the ground.
That's awesome.
Yeah, we're not too far away.
We're not too far away at all.
Oh, he's going down, though.
I know.
You know, being fit and being in good shape and not weighing a lot would be really pivotal,
you know, if you're going to have transportation that flies you around like this.
Why doesn't he have pants on though?
Maybe he does have shorts on, but he's wearing black socks.
So it kind of automatically makes it seem like he doesn't have any pants on.
So that is why we don't have flying cars and shit.
Yeah, because this guy's wearing black.
That is such a weird look.
The black socks.
It's like he's got just like an umbrella above his head.
How'd you even find this video?
It's amazing.
Google.
But I just, because I remember seeing something kind of like what you were just saying about drones,
and then it all clicked in my head.
It just popped off like that.
What do you eat before you get here in the mornings really quick?
So I normally have some type of eggs, and I normally have oatmeal.
This morning, I went with like a weird combination of of things and I probably didn't do it early enough.
It was probably part of the reason why I had to run to the bathroom.
But, um, I had oatmeal, I had eggs, very normal.
I always have a little bit of cheese following some of Rhino's information, you know, getting
the calcium in and getting some of the cholesterol and stuff from the eggs and, um, and then,
you know, the oats just to kind of get some of the, um,
get some type of carbs in and get some fiber in there. But then I also was like, you know what,
I haven't whipped up bone broth in a while. So I was like, I'll whip up some bone broth. And I
kind of drank that with everything. Um, but in the bone broth, I threw in some spinach cause I was
like, Oh, it'd be good to get in some potassium before training. But I think that that might've led to me running to the bathroom.
I don't really know.
I don't know what the science says about that, but like, I think that eating like induces
you going to the bathroom.
I think that's actually very clear.
Just sometimes like drinking coffee could like expedite something flying out of your
butt.
But what I don't know and what I don't have an understanding of, and I don't know who
we can get an answer from is like, does like what you have.
So I guess this is a question, the food that you eat at a particular moment, I think it's
quite obvious that that food doesn't, does not just go flying through your system.
I think it's quite obvious that that food doesn't, does not just go flying through your system.
I think that at the very, at the very fastest rate that that could possibly happen would probably be in like a six hour window or something. Like I don't know if it's physically possible for food to enter your mouth and go through your throat and all the things that needs to go through and to go flying out of your butt really fast.
However, I think what happens, this is the theory, of course, I think that whatever that
you have may like induce or may progress along, whatever is in your, whatever that last.
Whatever's in the chamber.
Yeah.
Whatever's in the chamber before it comes flying out of your butthole and it might like come out it's like a premature birth right
you're having you're having a premature poop and i think the longer that you hold on to your poop
i think like the drier that it gets and the harder that it gets so if you if you poop early your
poops are going to be liquidy yeah if you're able even i don't know
if anybody's ever experienced this before but if you ever had kind of like bubble guts
and you just out of necessity had to kind of hold on to it when you actually do end up pooping you
just end up doing a solid sometimes doing me a solid that makes a ton of sense because
yeah i would have people tell me like there's's no way that like, especially when I used to eat
like gym boys tacos, that shit would just launch right out of me. But I would have people like,
dude, there's no way like it takes X amount of hours to digest in your system. It just,
it's just impossible. But what I think what you just said, which is, yeah, whatever it is,
like the greasy ass tacos, it just kind of like lubes everything up to just
shoot out whatever was in the chamber i think i think you are onto something so kind of here's
what it would look like this is the chamber chamber of commerce the chamber here's the
butt hole so i made a map so people can kind of better understand hold it up to your
face i'm gonna hold it up here first so people can see on instagram we got gym boys tacos we
got the poop that's in the chamber and we got andrew's butthole down at the bottom so generous
and then i'll hold it up to my face here. As you can kind of see,
there's probably a little bit of a glare on there.
Gym Boys Tacos,
and then whatever was in the chamber, okay?
Gym Boys Tacos is causing irritation to the stomach,
and it's making your brain go,
hey, man, we can't hold on to all this.
We got too many different things going on.
I don't know what was in that Gym Boys Tacos,
but whatever's in the chamber, it's got to come flying out now because we got to make some room fast. all this. We got too many different things going on. I don't know what was in that Jim Boyce tacos, but we,
this,
whatever's in the chamber,
it's got to come flying out now because we got to make some room fast.
And then Jim Boyce or whatever was here in the chamber,
some crispy cream or whatever it was from the day,
from the night before.
And then it goes here to the butthole.
Oh,
that's my butthole.
Yeah.
It's kind of,
it's pretty small.
Yeah. It's been taking a beating for many years, but it's Oh, that's my butthole? Yeah. It's kind of, it's pretty small. Yeah, it's been taking
a beating for many years,
but it's held together.
Your balloon knot
is held together nicely.
The starfish.
Yeah.
It looks great.
Hey, it looks great.
Thanks.
I mean,
how old do you say you were?
33?
33, yeah.
Yeah, you're 33.
Your butthole looks,
doesn't look older than 20.
Thank you.
I mean.
That's the nicest thing anyone's ever said to me.
Yeah, I mean, I got the opposite thing going on.
I'm 41.
My butthole looks like it's 70.
Oh, man.
I mean, it's been through some battles.
Is there butthole rejuvenating surgery available yet?
I'm sure we can find some people that can give us information on.
Like, how do I get a quote?
Like, just for a
friend yeah just yeah can we get an estimate right i mean this podcast has a pretty good reach
somebody's gotta know yeah please uh send in your uh information so we can get to the bottom of this
so to speak such a drop in knowledge from gabrielleon, too. But that chart was amazing, though.
Yeah.
And, you know, we've had doctors on here with all kinds of people, but no one's ever, you know, drew a chart like this.
It makes the most sense.
I mean, this is pretty simple.
It's, you know, it's not my best work, but, you know, it's up there.
I think it's pretty good.
It's up there.
So we got some questions that have been flying in here and uh somebody said what's my current nutrition plan first of all we gotta you know get everybody fired up and get everybody to
understand we got this 14 weeks to christmas thing going on 14 weeks to christmas right
and um some people have been super excited about the information that that i'm uh giving out uh
so excited in fact that we have over a thousand people uh on our facebook fan page operation get
less fatterest is what it's called uh we have a facebook group for it a lot of people are popping
in there with a lot of questions and they're posting pictures and people are excited because
every year going into christmas people tend to gain weight this year. We're going to award that off and we're going to make sure
that not only do we not gain weight, but we're also going to get in the best shape of our lives.
And I've been, I've been keeping it really slow and I've been keeping it really simple because,
um, I think it's a giant mistake. People in full blast full bore and what do they do
that's it monday morning i'm starting that's it i'm not it's saturday right and they're drinking
and you know they're eating pizza with their buddies and they're thinking in the back of
their head they don't want to tell their buddies anything so don't want anybody to think that
they're weird so they don't really say anything but they're thinking in the back of their heads, you know what? I don't want to do this anymore.
Um, I'm not going to say anything to anybody here cause I'm going to be a buzzkill and, uh,
keep it to myself. But on Monday, I'm starting a diet on Monday. So Sunday rolls around and,
uh, you know, they're have a hangover. So they have taco bell and they take the normal
precautions for hangovers, which is to eat a bunch of junk and try to sleep a lot and not move much.
Right. Monday morning rolls around.
They're like, OK, a.m. fasted cardio.
And then they eat at like noon and they don't prepare a meal and their first meal is not great.
Now it's two o'clock. They feel like shit.
They were planning on a double day of training.
They get through work for the day.
It's now 6 p.m.
They have an opportunity to lift, but they feel too tired, too fatigued,
and they don't feel great from yesterday from the junk food that they ate.
So the day is a scratch.
They didn't really make much progress.
They did get some cardio in in the morning, some fasted cardio, but they didn't eat enough to really nourish their body. And they
were trying to be fancy and they weren't being consistent. As we know from our boy, Jay Cutler,
that's the way to be is to be consistent and to be constant and to have kind of constant tension
on everything all the time. Um, and so what I decided to do is like, screw all that.
Let's baby step this thing. Uh, I have done this with every single thing that I've ever done in my
life. I have power lifted everything, every single thing I've ever done in my life. Um, I like to use
the term lift through it, you know, lift, lift through it, not live through it, lift through it,
because in power lifting, you load up a bunch of weight. You know, first of all, you through it, not live through it, lift through it. Because in powerlifting, you load up a bunch of weight.
You know, first of all, you warm up, you do what you do what you need to do to get to
a heavy weight, but you really take your time.
You take your time.
And it's so crucial that you take your time.
In fact, it's so important and so crucial that you take your time that if you don't
take your time, you're not going to even be able to lift the maximum amount of weight. We've seen it many times here at super training when
people jump the gun and they want to get to a weight too fast and they actually miss a lift
because they didn't take those intermittent weights and take those smaller weights
beforehand to kind of prime the body and prime yourself for those heavier weights. And also there's also something
called self-doubt and you have to learn to believe in yourself and you have to learn to
gain encouragement for yourself. Part of the reason why we train together in the morning on
Fridays and why it's so important is because we see one guy go up and wait and then the next guy
wants to go up and wait and the next guy wants to go up and wait, and the next guy wants to go up and wait.
The next guy has nothing to do with, you know, I'm using four plates and everybody else wants to use four plates.
No, I'm using four plates.
They saw me go from 365 to four plates.
They want to go from 225 to 275.
Everyone's still staying in their lane and everyone's still getting their reps.
As with today and many other days we've had, nobody's missing reps. Everyone's getting staying in their lane and everyone's still getting their reps as with today and many other days we've had
Nobody's missing reps
Everyone's getting their work and everyone's doing what they're supposed to do
and beyond that
Everyone's getting their work in that they're supposed to do and then some
And that's what i'm trying to do with this diet
I want people to get their work in and then some I want there to always be some left in the tank
I don't want people to be washed out. I don't want people to be washed up within the first week. And so that's why it's not
exhaustive. That's why we talked about getting in your 10 minute walks. That's why we talked about,
um, we talked about meal frequency. We've talked about, I just mentioned yesterday,
some simple things about food, you know, here are the foods that you're supposed to be eating on this diet so far.
And you're going to notice I haven't really mentioned much about how much to eat.
Because that's not the game.
That's not the game.
Counting calories, calories in, calories out, and equating how many calories you burn when you blink your eyes and when you fidget and stuff.
Give me
a goddamn break. This is all a bunch of bullshit. It does work. You can factor all these things in,
but it's unnecessary. You don't need to do that. You need to learn what's nutritious. You need to
learn about yourself. You need to learn what feels good to your stomach. You need to learn what's nutritious. You need to learn about yourself. You need to learn what feels good
to your stomach. You need to learn what to eat before you work out. You need to learn what to
eat after you work out. You need to learn to eat or what to have during your training session. You
need to learn what to eat before you go to bed. Not before I go to bed, before you go to bed, I can give you suggestions and I can
give you recommendations, but your stomach is different than mine. Your body is different than
mine. Your nipples are different than mine. Your wiener is different than mine. Your balls are
different than mine. Your feet are different than mine. Everything we have is different than,
than everything else, everything everybody else has, right? There's
about 8 billion people on this planet. None of us are the same. We're all very different.
Might have people that look the same. There might be some bloated face son of a bitch that has a
space between his teeth that looks exactly like me, but we're probably nothing alike.
Correct?
We all kind of know these things, right?
Our bodies are going to react differently to different things.
We do know that humans need food.
We do know that humans need water.
We do know that humans need sleep.
We do know that human beings make poor decisions when they don't sleep enough.
We do know that human beings make poor decisions when they are not hydrated well enough. We do know that human beings make poor decisions when they don't have enough of anything. When you are without, you are kind of in doubt. You're not
sure of yourself. You're not sure of the correct decision to make. Food cravings are going to
heighten when you are in a food restricted state.
And so the main thing is to learn about what foods can you eat and what foods should you avoid?
That's the game. That's what we're trying to figure out. And how do we turn up our belief system? How do we encourage one another better? How do we feel better about ourselves so we have
enough energy to get through
each and every day but not just get through each and every day you ever ask somebody how they're
doing they're like i'm hanging in there man what in the hell kind of answer is that what do you
mean you're hanging in there hanging in there from what um life is not hard life is fun shouldn't say
you're hanging what a, what a crappy mindset.
Probably said that because you heard somebody else say that.
Let's stop saying shit like that.
Somebody says, how are you feeling?
Give them a realistic answer.
If you're tired, you can tell them you're tired.
If you're fired up, tell them you're fired up.
If you feel great, I always tell people that I feel great pretty much no matter what, because I like to lie to myself because I like to actually feel great.
I figure if I say that I feel great over and over again, I'm going to feel great pretty much no matter what because i like to lie to myself because i like to actually feel great i figure if i say that i feel great over and over again i'm gonna feel great i feel
that if i smile a lot then i'm gonna be happier yeah i feel if i tell a joke before i do a lift
i'm gonna be more relaxed if i feel like um you know before i do a lift if i think that i'm strong
i tend to be stronger yeah well it's kind of like what gabrielle was talking about yesterday with
old people right you know once once they hit a certain age they're supposed to be stronger. Yeah. Well, it's kind of like what Gabrielle was talking about yesterday with old
people,
right?
You know,
once,
once they hit a certain age,
they're supposed to be a little old and,
you know,
uh,
in pain here and there hunched over or whatever.
Oh,
it's okay.
It's because you're old.
Right.
But what you're saying is like,
no,
I feel great.
So I'm going to be feel great.
I'm going to be strong right now for this lift.
So I'm going to,
yeah.
So I,
I,
and I am 100% in belief of all that because there's times when I question myself during whatever lift we're about to do.
And any time I have the split second hesitation, I miss that fucking lift.
And it's so frustrating because I know it's all me.
Yeah.
And the reason, you know, Andrew is younger than me, and, you know, we have met each other at a really, really cool time.
You know, I met him at a really cool time in his life.
He was doing a job that, you know, he didn't like doing, and now you get a lot of fulfillment out of the current job that you have.
And, you know, it's just, you're just in a totally different, totally different
world, totally different mindset.
And it's not like I know everything, but I can help mentor a lot of the people in here.
Yeah.
And it's not like you're a kid either.
So it's, you don't even need like a, a mentor or a father figure or anything like that.
But, um, it is nice to have somebody with more experience who can say hey man like that's
like life doesn't need to be that way yeah things can be really cool and you and i've talked about
relationships before and you've talked about how blessed you've been with your relationship and
i've talked about how blessed i've been with mine to where it's like wow holy crap like this is
this is what it's like to have a girlfriend? This is awesome.
And you've had previous relationships,
and they didn't feel the same way.
You're like, man, this is okay.
We argue, we fight, and none of it seems worth it.
I don't understand why we're together.
We seem to butt heads, and nothing makes any sense. I think that's the only different thing
about the relationships that
we have now is i went through some shit and you you kind of found andy right away well not right
away but you know you weren't previously married i've been previously married and i've i've been
through some shit so now i appreciate everything so much more but i got really lucky. Like I shouldn't be this lucky right now with the girl I found.
And it's a, it's a good life lesson.
Um, your struggle, whatever your struggle is, maybe it shouldn't be that hard of a struggle.
You know, think about the job that you had before.
Think about trying to climb the ladder or even if there was a ladder to climb in the
company that you were in, um, what a bunch of bullshit it would have been to try to maneuver around in that company and try to kiss ass and try to figure out.
Oh, it's the worst.
Yeah.
Like, how do I.
Just the whole, the whole thing is just so like ass backwards.
That's actually how I met my girl.
And she still works there. Uh, we're,
I'm working to get her out of there, but, uh, she hadn't made an Instagram post. Um, I think she was
showing off food or she was working with our daughter or something. And her computer screen
was way in the background and it was blurred out. Somebody from her company out somebody from her company somebody from her company ended up reporting
the post saying that she's showing off like uh patient information or something and they freaked
out they're like she has thousands of followers you know it's like going nuts like this this
shouldn't be happening and i'm like what's their instagram look like like nobody's talking about it
like these idiots should look at you and be like we need to hire you to do our marketing
because we don't know what the fuck we're doing i was like for somebody to just randomly find you
and you know report you or whatever like so that means you're more impactful than their own shit
right now right like but that's how stupid they are they don't see that and long story short she ended up just getting a warning but it was like right like really like
and the picture showed nothing but they were like no it shows the screen like that's a HIPAA
violation or some stupid shit like that but like they're so by the book they can't look at something
like that and be like well wait hold on like maybe we have something to learn here. Right. Maybe we're using your skills the wrong way. And then when it comes to climbing
that ladder, it's really just like a, um, a longevity thing. If you can stick it out longer
than anybody else, that's when you're going to get paid. Right. Which fucking sucks. Yeah. And
also too, a lot of times what happens, uh, you do stick it out and you're 40 or 42 or 43
or 45 and then there's there's just not a lot of loyalty towards you so no they're like oh you know
what you're making 80 a year you have full benefits you have pension or whatever whatever it is you
have you got this fat setup right or at least they think it's a fat setup yeah and um
they're like you know what actually we could pay three kids can come in and work in three
different spots and smoke you on everything because you've been here for so long you're old
you're not working as fast as you were working before yeah and we can get you know three kids
at 30k to come in here and just yeah you know, really do a triple the amount of work, right?
And unfortunately, that's really accurate because what they do is you have a set expectation.
You know, it's expectation you can do this much work in this much time.
Well, something happened and now you have to work this much time, but you have to get this much work done.
Then you have to get more work done in the same amount of time. And if you can't do it, then
now we have to look into why you can't do it. Because Susan down
the way can do it. Even though she doesn't know what she's doing.
But she can. You can't. What's the problem here? And then it just builds
horrible anxiety in that atmosphere. Yeah, and unfortunately those kind of businesses
they don't have, um, you know, I, I hate to, uh, to be, uh, like a complainer about stuff
because I, I just, I feel it doesn't add a ton of value to the world. But at the same time,
I think that some companies are just set up in a way where, um, the people that are at the top, maybe they're under so much stress.
They're not thinking about their people.
And, uh, I think it's more important to think about your people.
You have to, it's, it's insane what people are looking for.
It really is.
It's, it's so what people are looking for is, I don't, I don't know how to say this the
right way.
It's on such a smaller level than what you think.
All people are looking for you to do is to say, you know what, Andrew, you're doing a
great job.
You're really valuable to this company.
I, I love that you're here.
This is awesome.
Yeah.
That's all, that's all
that they want. Like they, obviously the money is huge, right? Like it's, you have to feed your
family. Like, um, as your value goes up, like of course, right? Like all these things are,
they're definitely important, but if you take the time to tell someone how important they are,
or if you communicate to me like, Hey man, I don't know what's wrong, but I'm just not feeling good today.
Or, uh, you know, if, if you, if you called me with anything, I would say, you know, whatever I would just say, ask you what you would want to do.
Like if you said, Hey man, like, uh, you know, I don't know, got an argument with my girl and like just a shitty day.
I'd say,
Hey,
what do you want to do?
I'll come in and train.
Do you want to not work?
Like,
what do you want?
How do,
how do we,
you know,
do you need help?
Like,
you know,
you want to want to hang out,
like want to have a beer,
want to watch a fight and want to like,
I would like try to figure it out.
And maybe I don't always have time to,
to do that,
but I might contact somebody else and say, Smokey, like, I don't know. Andrew's bummed out, man. i don't always have time to to do that but i might contact somebody
else and say smoky like i don't know andrew's bummed out man i don't know what happened but
let's figure let's get around them yeah we've done that a million times in this gym when people are
hurt when people have an injury somebody uh breaks an arm or somebody's hurt their knee or
or whatever the situation whatever the struggle, or somebody has a birthday, we, we just try
to like make a big deal of it. And the reason why we make a big deal of it is because it is a big
deal. Yeah. There's not that many people that work here and we might as well celebrate people.
And when people, when somebody does a good job, we might as well point it out. You know, we've,
we've gone on trips and we've done different things. And in the meetings that we have, um,
every Thursday, um, every Thursday,
um,
not every time.
I mean,
someone's not,
you're not going to get a pat on the back every time you do everything.
And so you should understand that sometimes due to how fast everything's
moving,
you're not,
maybe not always going to get a pat on the back for everything that you do.
Um,
and you shouldn't be necessarily looking for one because you should be doing
your job.
But at the same time, you do um and you shouldn't be necessarily looking for one because you should be doing your job but
at the same time we've had plenty of times where other people in the company not just andy and i
or something are praising other people that work here yeah like hey you know what rosemary's doing
been doing a great job because i heard this or uh we'll uh, someone on Instagram saying I came to the gym, I'm a nobody.
And, uh, everybody treated me like I was a King.
I got people spot me and people teaching me how to lift and a great experience at super
training.
And my, the whole point of what I've been talking about here, and I'm relating this
all back to this 14 week diet thing or 12 week diet plan. Sorry. Um,
is that the struggle that you go through,
like there's always going to be a struggle.
There's always going to be a fight.
And a lot of times the price that you pay,
um,
we'll end up turning into something great later on.
The price that you pay now,
uh,
is going to pay off later on,
but maybe what you're going through shouldn't be so hard
either. Like your relationship shouldn't be hard. Your job, while it could be difficult, it's not
easy all the time. And maybe there's some stress involved, but it should be pretty healthy stress.
It should be, it should be like self-induced stress in my opinion. Um, I know certain jobs have certain things that have to be done at certain times, and there's probably no other way to get around it.
If you're a mechanic, you've got to work on a bunch of cars every day.
I mean, there's not any way around it.
But in my opinion, the struggle that you go through doesn't have to be so hard.
And that's what I'm trying to teach people with this diet is that there's going to be, there's going to be some suffering. There's going to be some
sacrifice. You may see some things that are hard. There's going to be some things that you give up,
but the way that I'm introducing this to you, and I strongly urge that anybody listening to this,
you jump in on it because this is going to be fun and we're going to do it together. Anybody
who's ever said, I can't, I'm going to show you that you can, and we're going to do it together. Anybody who's ever said I can't, I'm going to show you that you can.
And we're going to do this together.
I'm going to help people the best that I possibly can.
I haven't had an opportunity to jump on that Facebook fan page yet, but I will be soon.
And I'm going to do it multiple times a week.
And I'm going to answer questions on there.
It's all free.
This has nothing to do with any sort of publicity stunt.
This has nothing to do with I'm not trying to turn this into an ebook. I'm not trying to make any money off of you.
I'm just sharing my knowledge because I feel that I have enough of it. And I feel that, uh,
I can help people through the holiday season. I can help them, uh, not only, uh, ward off gaining
a bunch of fat during the holidays, but also get in the best shape of their life.
And the struggle that you go through, the things that are hard, I know a lot of people want to make more money.
Making more money than you did the year before is not hard.
I'm going to say it again.
Making more money than you did the year before isn't hard.
What could be hard is to figure out the type of job that you want. That could be difficult.
And maybe you got to go through some shit for that, even to end up in the right spot, right?
That makes some sense. Maybe you got to be an intern for three or four years somewhere.
Yeah. It's really what makes it hard is just figuring out what you're willing to sacrifice.
Yeah.
You know, because like at my last job, it was really cushy.
Like I got paid well, amazing benefits, and I worked from home.
If I wanted more money, that meant I had to work in various offices.
And it's like, oh, man.
But I actually, I didn't want to do that not because i was being lazy but because it would have took time away from my photography right because i
knew i wasn't going to be working in that job forever i knew photography was my way out so
i was not willing to sacrifice that right for money. Right. Instead, I was in a weird way willing to sacrifice that complete, the whole job completely for moving on to something else.
And if you look at your like photography as kind of a metaphor for some of this, you know, what are you willing to give up for one thing versus the other?
You know, going out and having some drinks with your friends.
Yeah, it's okay. But I don you know, going out and having some drinks with your friends. Yeah, it's okay.
But I don't know, man, like being the same is not great.
Being the same as you were the year before is not great.
Um, living, you know, living in your hometown, your entire life and hanging around the same
friends that have the same, uh, kind of crap mentality.
They're always complaining about
the same things and no one ever fixes anything no one ever moves up no one ever has an idea or
creation or business or product or no one's excited for something yeah they're excited for
like a slice of pizza but they're not excited like holy shit dude guess who i'm working with now
yeah the only thing that's
coming up for a lot of people is just like another holiday yeah or maybe a summer vacation or maybe
um you know like a ufc fight or a wwe pay-per-view or like there's really just not there's not a
strong enough like pull um you know i think and uh this is like a tony robbins thing and
people think he's corny and he can be right uh because he's so enthusiastic but you know tony
robbins kind of talks about people trying to push their way through life like they're really pushing
pushing pushing pushing towards this pushing towards that shoving their way into this and
shoving their way into that and and you shouldn't be you should be actually pulled towards stuff
and when there's a pull and when the pull is strong enough it's like undeniable and you kind
of just end up fitting into stuff and and again like you're gonna say shit man dude just tell me
what to eat because i want to follow your plan.
You know, what does this have to do with eating?
It has everything to do with eating because your pull towards wanting to be better.
If you do this the right way and you do it gradually, it'll be so strong.
Your pull will be so strong.
Trust me when I say this, your pull will be so strong that when i say hey on uh october 31st
on halloween have at it eat as much candy as you want you know what you're gonna end up saying
you know saying i don't want to do that shit yeah and you're not going to believe me now when i say
stuff like that and maybe that doesn't happen the first time that i recommend a cheat to some of you
guys but it will happen it will happen the further you move down the line
i i know firsthand because i've seen it happen and when joel green was on our podcast
he said that kind of stuff can happen within two weeks damn he said that kind of change can happen
in two weeks because what's happening is from like a scientific standpoint, your body is never actually really getting what it needs.
It's, it's just the thought it's like cheating on a girlfriend or cheating on a wife or something
like that, where this other thing that's in front of you looks sexy and attractive, but man, that's
not really what you want. Yeah. That's okay. We all get all get it everyone gets everyone has urges everyone has
impulses everyone you know sees the chocolate sundae and they're frothing at the mouth oh dude
or somebody sees a vanilla latte or somebody sees a beautiful woman or a beautiful man
oh my god that girl's so hot oh my god that guy's so hot yet we get it right we get it but that's not actually
really what you want i mean unless you're in you know sometimes people are in relationships that
just that aren't working and that's the kind of a different story and that's not what i'm talking
about but you're what you're going to what you're going to give up is going to be greater than what
you get and that's something that you need to understand what you're going to give up is going to be greater than what you get. And that's something that you need to understand
what you're going to give up is going to be greater than what you're going to get. So when
you go in and give up your diet for a bender, you're, you're giving up too much. You just made
a bunch of progress. Like, what are you doing? Pump the brakes, man, because this is not going
to work well for you. Um, if you know that, let's say that,
look, man, at this point in your life, you should have collected some data on what's going on in
your life, right? Um, there's all these studies and people are talking about this and that all
the time, and you need eight hours of sleep. And this guy's saying you need this kind of food. And
this guy's promoting this, this guy's promoting that you should have your own data on your own self. And you should know without an app, without ever writing anything
down, you should know that if on Thursday night football, you go out and have some drinks with
your friend and some wings and some pizza. And every single time that you do that Friday rolls
around, you say, screw it. I, you know, I already, I already ate whatever I wanted.
I already got drunk on Thursday.
I'll do the same thing today.
And it happens on Friday, Saturday, Sunday, or maybe you're a younger kid and you're in
college and you're kind of doing, you're falling into these traps.
Stop falling into the traps.
You have enough evidence. You have enough, uh, scientific proof
that for whatever reason, that method that you're utilizing or that, uh, schedule or that routine
is not working for you. It's not working for you anymore. Whatever, whatever it was, uh, like
hopefully you've done it enough times. Like you already know what a chocolate sundae
tastes like. You already know what pizza tastes like. You already know what a sub tastes like
from your favorite sandwich shop. Uh, do you really have to have it every single Tuesday?
No, you don't, you don't need it. You want it, right? You want it. And that's a big difference.
Um, and you can have what you want, but you have to get yourself in a position
to where you feel the way that you want to feel. You deserve it. You deserve to feel the way that
you want to feel when you go lift a weight and you're stronger each time you work out.
That's something that you earn. That's something that you worked for. And it doesn't happen by accident. It happens through proper rest, proper nutrition. Everything's got to be in line. If
you're going to be stronger, every single time you hit the gym, everything has to be in line.
And in order for that to happen over a long period of time, you got to be, you got to really
be on point. Uh, I'm going to dive into some of these, uh, foods right now, because I know that you guys
have been anxiously awaiting and I have mentioned them. I mentioned them on my Instagram, but, uh,
for those of you following along for the first time, um, I don't want to get too much into the
weeds on, uh, like calories, um, and shit like that. But the basic gist of it is I want you guys walking.
I got, I want you guys walking twice a day for 10 minutes.
Um, I haven't missed a 10 minute walk on a particular day, uh, probably in two years.
I walk every single day.
I always get in at least one 10 minute walk.
Um, today I got in one tenant month, 10 minute walk after our workout is probably more like a 15 minute walk.
Um, I'll definitely get one in, uh, sometime later today, maybe at like four or five o'clock or, uh, before I go to bed.
It's not, it's just, it's, it's, it's easy.
It's easy.
Anyone can go for a walk, right?
I want you to walk.
I want you to pay attention to sleeping more. We know there's an eight hour recommendation to sleep. We know there's a lot
of scientific data that shows that when you get eight hours of sleep, it's the most optimal,
right? We know that you not only need eight hours of sleep, but it needs to be like a really restful
sleep. We know a lot of these things, right? But I don't want you to focus in on eight hours. I
want you just to focus in on sleeping more.
If you currently sleep four hours a night,
I want you to sleep four and a half.
If you currently sleep four hours a night,
I want you to concentrate on four hours and 15 seconds,
things like that.
Just let's make some small steps, but let's make progress.
Let's work on getting better.
Hopefully, two months from now,
your four hours of sleep is six hours of sleep. How great is that? You can extra two hours every single day.
You'll probably feel awesome. Here's some of the foods that I'd like you to utilize for this stage
of the diet. There's going to be many stages of this diet. Let's go over protein because I think
protein is the most important. And I think it's, uh,
probably what people are missing out on the most. And, uh, it's what people can overeat on the most
and without, with the least amount of, uh, negative, negative, uh, feedback. Um,
protein is really simple. Any form of meat that That includes cow meat, that includes anything, pork, bison, elk, chicken, turkey.
I mean, you know, you name it. And it's if it's game meat or if it's uh just hamburger meat anything just have some damn
meat uh eggs are also on the list um and then any sort of dairy now this is all dependent on whether
you can actually digest this stuff or not if you're lactose intolerant then don't have dairy. If you know that you suck eating eggs,
then don't eat eggs.
Eggs versus egg whites,
cheese, dairy, 2% milk,
don't worry about any of that stuff.
I would suggest for now,
just go full fat on everything.
Get full fat milk,
eat cheese,
don't worry about the fat calories in there.
Let's work on getting nutrition and getting nutritious stuff to supply our
bodies with what we need every single day to make progress and to be able to
exercise and lift and to be in this for the long run.
Full fat cheese tastes better than fat-free cheese.
How the hell are we going to eat fat-free cheese every day if we don't like the taste of it?
It's going to suck, right?
How the hell are we going to eat eggs every day if we're only eating egg whites?
We're not going to last very long doing that probably.
And, you know, whether you're a professional bodybuilder or something like that, it's different, right?
Those guys are doing some different shit.
In terms of your steak, uh, or in terms of your red meat um
i personally like fillets a lot um now a fillet ends up being a really uh great cut of meat because
um you can heat it and re-eat it very easily now the tougher the steak or the leaner the steak
the more problematic it might be.
Like a New York strip,
unfortunately,
a New York strip,
if you cooked it up
the night before
and eat it the next day,
it kind of turns into
a hockey puck.
Yeah,
that's what I'm struggling
with right now.
There's not a lot
of great things you can do.
You could try to like,
you know,
undercook it a little bit,
like have it a little bit
more rare than normal,
but even that's not great because it's just, microwaving stuff too, to like uh you know undercook it a little bit like have it a little bit more rare than normal but
even that's not great because it's just microwaving stuff too you gotta be a little
careful with microwaving stuff like if you're gonna microwave steak it's gonna just turn weird
even sometimes chicken can turn weird what i would suggest is those of you that are messing
with chicken stock or bone broth heat up your chicken stock or bone broth and pour it on top of your meat. If you want your meat and your stuff to be warm. Um, and you can
still, uh, maybe warm things up, but warm them up separately and, uh, you know, try to keep your
meat, keep your meat out of the microwave. Cause, uh, it's just not that it's, uh, it has nothing
to do with, uh, like health or or anything this is just purely on uh taste
um having that meat heated up sometimes isn't great ground beef now on the other hand heats up
pretty good it normally is fine when you heat it up it actually works out really well because
you get that layer of like white fat on it and it gets to be really gross but then when you heat it
up it dissipates into some of the other foods that you have um combining foods can be really gross, but then when you heat it up, it dissipates into some of the other foods that
you have. Combining foods can be really important. Taking your steak and being able to eat it with
some spinach or a tomato, cucumber, anything. What does my wife always cook? Zucchini, anything
that's like wet or moist when you eat, when you eat your meat with anything wet or moist, it's going to make it go down a lot easier.
So those are some kind of easy suggestions in terms of the meat.
Get your meat moist and wet so it goes down easier.
Mm-hmm.
I like it.
down easier. I like it. You can also, another trick too, is to, is to chuck some butter on there or throw some cheese on some stuff. Like just for now, we're not really worried. We're not worried
about calories. You know, we're not going hog wild either, but let's not really worry too much
about calories. And, uh, you know, if you feel like throwing some cheese on something, cause
you want it to taste a little bit better, go for it.
Now, I just said a little bit of cheese, so don't go crazy.
Bobby in the chat room over here on YouTube.
What's up, Bobby?
Yeah, he's just asking, what about like a roast versus a steak?
So like a roast has a little bit more fat.
Is that cool?
Yeah, go for it.
A tri-tip, ribeye.
Let's just not even worry let's just not even worry
about it for right now. Just get that protein in. Just get, just get the meals in and get the food
in. Um, recommendation. So, uh, I would say let's try to get a protein source in about three or four
times a day. A good, a good protein source in three, four times a day. That's just the minimum,
you know? So if you want to go five or six, then by all means go for it. Um, but you can do, you know, and another
protein source too, could be protein powder. You can have some sort of protein powder if, if you're
digging on that and you want to have something post-workout. Um, in terms of the dairy, um,
I forgot to mention like cottage cheese is fine. Yogurt is yogurt.
Okay.
Let's just avoid, you know, sugary stuff because that's not, that's not really part of, that's
one thing that's absent from this diet is sugar.
There's not a lot of sugar on there.
Um, although we do have some room for it in some capacity.
So, all right, there's protein.
Let's go over some carbohydrate sources in terms of, let's talk about fruit first. So I'd like you to have two servings of fruit every day. A serving of fruit would be like an apple. So you can have an apple and an orange, you know, once a day.
you can have, you know, one apple in the AM and an orange in the PM or whatever. Um, but find a fruit that you like and eat it. Um, I think most people like fruit, find some fruit that you enjoy
and eat it. Now, if you're talking about like blueberries or raspberries, they don't come
conveniently packaged as like one little unit, like an apple does or an orange does. And so therefore you're going to, um,
you're going to have to, uh, you know, kind of maybe just have handfuls of it, but like
two handfuls of berries in a sitting, uh, would be perfectly fine. Um, if you're not used to eating
some of these things, make sure you're chewing them up really well. Make sure you're taking
your time eating them because they can kind of bother your stomach if you're not used to eating fruit.
And same thing with your vegetables and stuff like that, too.
But in terms of fruit, fruit's fair game.
You can eat as much fruit as you'd like.
I'm saying two servings a day.
That's kind of the minimum.
I don't really think there's a reason to go over like three or four.
But technically, you know, I'm going to say that you can.
You can eat fruit with every meal if you feel like it. Um, for me personally, I've always liked something sweet after dinner.
And so sometimes having like a blood orange or an orange, uh, after a little while after dinner
is something I really like. Um, sometimes I might eat that with something else, like some yogurt.
I might throw some berries and some yogurt, or I might throw some vanilla protein powder into some yogurt, chuck it in the freezer and
throw some berries in there. It kind of turns out, uh, in like an ice cream form does not taste like
ice cream, but has the feel that the mouth feel of ice cream. And it's pretty damn good.
So one thing that fruit's going to do for, well,
a couple of things fruit's going to do for you. Number one, it's going to provide you with a lot
of vitamins and minerals, but it's also going to provide you with potassium, which potassium can be
a very powerful ingredient in terms of your strength performance, your performance in the gym.
And it could also help a lot with blood pressure. uh, fructose. Um, some people believe that fructose can actually help your thyroid out
quite a bit. You know, it's kind of one of those things that's a little bit debatable. Um, but
fructose is, uh, a weird form of carbohydrates. And I think that there's definitely a place for
it, um, in our lives. I think that the human body was designed to eat fruit. I think it's very clear. Fruit will also provide you with some fiber. And so that's going
to be good for helping you to digest stuff, helping you ferment stuff and things of that nature.
Vegetables. Let's go over some vegetables. All vegetables are fair game. Find vegetables that
you like. Some people don't, some people kind of hate vegetables, but then some people forget that
like there's a lot of different things in the vegetable category. Before I move on from fruit,
I forgot avocado. I think avocado is actually a fruit. Um, but avocado is pretty damn good on any
diet and it's a great form of fat, added in wherever you want you can make an omelet
in the morning um with some avocado avocado by the way too is a great thing to utilize again
to make your meat slippery um a lot of times meat can be dry things like chicken and stuff like that
can be dry chuck a little bit of cheese and eat some avocado with it or throw some salsa on it
and some, uh, and a, um, avocado. Don't buy like these pre-mixed weird guacamole mixes that are
full of a bunch of bullshit. Like, you know, just eat the avocado, eat, eat stuff that you,
uh, actually chop open yourself. So an avocado is a single seeded berry which means it's a fruit that's a giant ass berry
giant ass berry it's a holly berry holly berry
holly berry anyway uh vegetables um you know anything's kind of fair game they kind of always
say the greener the better because there's usually more nutrients in there. And there's, um, Stan Efferding, our boy, he's a big fan of
spinach. Spinach also has potassium in it. Broccoli has potassium in it. Kale has potassium. Kale is
loaded with vitamin A and, uh, loaded, loaded with, uh, potassium. Um. I actually take kale and spinach and put it in a blender with cranberry juice.
Now, I know that sounds absolutely disgusting, but it's actually really good with some water and some ice.
It tastes really good.
And a lot of times I'll throw in a scoop or half scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Vanilla ice cream.
I wish vanilla ice cream.
Vanilla protein powder in there. wish vanilla ice cream vanilla protein powder uh in there and
vanilla slingshot protein and um ends up being a pretty good drink pretty good shake it's really
hard you have to go way out of your way to have the to have the amount of potassium that you're
supposed to have every day uh stan efferding's a big fan of carrots so you can throw in some
carrots they provide you with some fiber there's some research that shows and take you know take research whatever way you want
who knows if it's worth a shit or whatever but uh there's some research that shows that uh
carrots have a type of fiber in them that can help uh get rid of estrogens and get rid of certain
junk in your body and can be beneficial. So you might want, you can actually just look up,
if you look up on YouTube, a guy named Ray Pete, you can look up Ray Pete talking about carrots.
And you look up Ray Pete, by the way, talking about fructose too and you get the uh all the
information about uh how fructose can potentially help your thyroid help your metabolism help you
lose weight um one thing i forgot to mention about uh fruit as well as uh something i i do
here and there is uh i'll have some cranberry juice throughout the day again this is a recommendation from stan the rhino efforting um because cranberry juice has iodine in it and so i'll have
cranberry juice about twice a day i'm not swilling down this giant thing of cranberry juice
it's just um about four ounces of cranberry juice very pungent and uh it has a strong has a strong
flavor to it so um i actually kind of enjoy the taste but
most people it tastes like shit it's not too bad it's not too bad but because people need to realize
it's not like ocean spray yeah yeah yeah you have to buy uh organic uh you know and you can't have a
much added sugar to it and and when you look every single uh cranberry juice that you look at is going to be like 50-50 loaded with crap and having regular sugar in it.
I always get it confused.
Is the we want not from concentrate or we want from concentrate?
I don't know how much that matters.
And I don't know what that means.
That would be great to learn what that means.
But basically, you just want the one that doesn't have any other ingredients other than cranberries.
That's probably the easiest way to figure it out.
So I get, uh, I think it's called Lakewood.
I think that's the company.
That's the one that I buy now in terms of, so that's pretty much it for your veggies.
Um, trying to think some other easy ways to get in vegetables.
Now, when you travel, when you go to the airport, when you go to some of these convenient stores that are in the airports, they always have these things that have vegetables in them.
When you go to a, when you go to Starbucks, they have these protein boxes that have fruits and vegetables in them.
You can get fruits and vegetables from anywhere.
So we want not from concentrate.
Sorry to cut you off. Sounds good. Yeah. Not from concentrate. Sounds good. Um, you know,
so there's no excuse not to get in, uh, some of your veggies and, and like you, again, if you,
if you don't love them, just try to figure out a way to eat some, try to figure out a way to eat
some, maybe there's, um, like you can just take a pepper and just eat it.
Yeah.
You know, you can take it, you can take a pepper and that's in your fridge.
You could take the damn thing out and just eat it.
And if you kind of wanted to get more creative with it, like, I don't know, you could dip it in some olive oil and some salt.
Or you could, uh, you could put a little bit of, um, you could have mozzarella cheese with it and have some balsamic vinegar and some olive oil.
And now you're talking about a party.
It starts to taste pretty damn good.
Throw some salt on that bitch and you got, you got something going on.
Yeah.
I like it with breakfast.
Just like a straight bell pepper.
Um, it's like real crispy, crunchy.
It's, it's, it's really refreshing.
It's good.
Yeah.
I mean, peppers have all kinds of stuff in them that are, you know, they're us so go ahead and have at it i'm not here by the way i'm not here to like get into a
debate about whether vegetables are healthy for you or not i'm not here to get in a debate about
whether fruit is healthy for you or whether fruit juice is healthy for you what i'm here to get in
a debate in and the thing that i'll fight in the street about is people are too fucking fat
that's what i'm that's what i'm here for and that's what that's what i want to do i
want to help change i want to help change america i want to help make a big difference in people's
lives and teach people that you can do it all this shit that surrounds us each and every day
all these foods that surround us all the time they are around us all the time there's people
around us that are gonna be negative when you tell somebody i'm on a keto diet they'll be like why are you doing that you know right they
give you all this shit well it's like why the fuck are you still being the same yeah you know
why are you still the same fat fuck you were yesterday i don't understand why are you still
50 pounds overweight let's talk about that rather than you coming at me for trying to be on a diet
or trying to exercise more it's not healthy to eat all that fat.
That can't be good.
Yeah.
And I'm not here to argue that kind of stuff either.
I'm not, I'm not here to like pick a side.
I'm not here to make a steak and stick a steak in the ground and be like, I'm all keto.
I'm not here to, and I know I have a book called The War on Carbs.
The War on Carbs just happens to be a great name.
That's why we went with it.
It's just fun.
Right.
And it gives you, it gives you a platform to kind of speak from.
And I do think that Andrew and I were talking earlier about some people that have had a lot of success on like a vegetarian diet.
And we just think that sometimes some of these things are vegan diet.
Sometimes some of these things are just because they cut out other crap out of their life.
they cut out other crap out of their life now someone could you know i don't know guess disprove you know that uh humans aren't made to eat or they can prove that humans aren't made to eat meat and
that we should only eat vegetables or something i don't know like maybe somebody can at some point
refute all this evidence that we are designed to eat multiple things uh and you know we'd have to
say okay well we're wrong. Sorry. But, um,
that doesn't seem to be the case, but what seems to be the case every single time,
whether it's a paleo diet, whether it's a South beach diet, whether it's the Atkins diet,
whether it's my own book, the war on carbs, um, or whether it's any other style of diet,
or whether it's any other style of diet, a Whole30, Weight Watchers.
It seems to be that when you get rid of junk,
that you end up being more successful with your weight loss and long-term weight loss.
One of the big pitfalls of something like Weight Watchers,
which by the way, is the same thing as flexible dieting.
Flexible dieting and Weight Watchers is the same thing.
Make no mistake about it.
It's just that Weight Watchers gives you a different way of like counting your calories and they have points and stuff.
And they didn't want people to fall into the trap of having to count calories.
So they gave them points, which is actually genius.
And part of the reason why it's a multi-billion dollar franchise.
And it's been around for like 30 or 40 years. It's helped a lot of people lose a lot of weight uh men and women but one of the pitfalls
of diets like that normally is the fact that there's too much delicious food there's too much
processed food involved even they even make their own processed food which i say shame on them for
that yeah hey good for you you know, America is a land of opportunity.
Like let's all make some money.
But I kind of say, how dare you?
Like what a stupid thing.
Like you're trying to help people be healthier.
You're helping people lose some weight.
And I know that losing weight is the key factor.
Losing weight is the biggest factor in being healthier but you're gonna make people
healthier but then also you know you're gonna give them a bunch of crap come on man like yeah
we got to be better than that we can't we can't really do stuff like that i understand you're
trying to give them a nicer alternative but let's face it it's just for profit like that's all it's
for right and so they have money they have the means so they can make these like Weight Watchers
fancy meals and they can have, and again, the problem with these style of diets, in
my opinion, the problem with something like flexible dieting is that there's too many
good foods in there for people to, uh, when, when somebody comes away from that diet, in
my opinion, they haven't really learned a lot of discipline.
They might've learned some discipline to eat a little bit less, but that's not going to be enough because I think they're going to go back to their old ways.
At least, at least that's what I, that's been, that's been how, that's been my experience.
So I guess I should kind of say that I'm not, I shouldn't say that everyone is going to end up that way but that's my experience if you allow me if you allow me a pop tart i'm not i'm just not going to do
well um and i know there's been some research too that has shown that um and lane norton shared this
too there's been some research that shows if you give people uh if you give people more options
they're sometimes more successful but i i don't don't know. I don't like that.
I think that, uh, the stricter, the better, um, and not at first.
And that's kind of why we're diving into these things this way.
Cause over a period of time, we're going to build up some willpower.
We're going to build up some strength to be able to be locked into a diet a little bit
stronger.
Yeah.
Well, have you ever gone to like a restaurant where they have everything on the menu and
you can't figure out what you want?
Yeah.
I mean, they even teach you that about business, you know, serve everybody and no one want
to buy shit.
Wow.
You know, uh, you think about like, uh, these big franchise gyms, you know, they, they're
how many, how many giant ass franchise gyms have popped up around the country in the last like 10 years, you know?
Right.
But then only to shut down because all the CrossFits came around, right?
Because when you try to be of service to everyone, you're attractive to nobody.
You know, because you might go in there and you're like, man, like that's cool that they, it's nice.
They have a squat rack, but they just have one.
Yeah.
It's going to happen at five 30, you know, on a Monday or Thursday.
Everyone's trying to curl on the squat rack.
Everyone's in the damn squat rack.
And then someone else is going to come in there and be like, wow, this is a great gym.
But look, the daycare is kind of small.
I'd love to have both my kids be able to go in there but
if there's three other kids in there my kids won't be able to go in there someone else will come in
and say man i love doing cardio but they only have one stairmaster it's because they have one
stairmaster they got one squat rack they got a tiny ass room for kids and uh they're trying to
be attractive to everybody and in their effort they're kind of attractive to nobody right uh let's talk about carbs carbohydrates oh my gosh we're gonna talk about some carbs
all right so here's uh for those of you just tuning in on uh that haven't been with us the
entire time live here the meats that you can have pretty much any meat you can have any type of fish
that you want any type of steaks that you want you can have ground beef you can have, pretty much any meat. You can have any type of fish that you want,
any type of steaks that you want. You can have ground beef, you can have bison, you can have elk, you can have venison, any type of meat, chicken. You can have eggs, just go ahead and
have whole fat eggs, cheese, dairy, get full fat milk, the whole nine yards. Vegetables,
you can have any vegetables that you like. Fruits, you can have any fruits
that you like. We're keeping this stuff really simple. How many times a day do I want you to have?
And also protein powder. I forgot to mention that for the protein. But also, how many times a day
do I want you to eat fruit? I want you to have at least two servings a day. How many times do I want
you to eat vegetables? I want you to have it at least twice a day. How many times do I want to
see you have protein? I'd like to see a minimum of three times a day. How much protein? Eyeball it. Pick
out an amount that feels comfortable to you and eat it. Don't make it complicated. Now, if you're
packing some food, and this is something that's going to need to be taught. If you're packing
some food for the day, why don't you try this on your, you know, going to work, pack a pound, a pound of, uh, a pound of meat, whatever pound, pound and meat, whatever, uh, whatever, uh, type of meat that you like, pack a pound of it and pack a cup and a half of rice or, um, a one good size sweet potato.
Pack that with you for the day.
Pack some, uh, pack an apple, pack an orange and pack some almonds with you.
There you go.
Right.
It should be pretty simple.
If you feel like you need more meals and that, that, that should actually be two meals.
You should be able to break that up into two meals.
Um, anyway, let's move forward.
We got, we got so much more to teach you about meal prep and stuff that it's not even funny.
Carbohydrates.
Rice is always a good source.
What kind of rice?
I don't really care.
Some people say brown rice has this weird shit in it that takes nutrients away from your body.
I don't think it matters that much.
I do think that white rice is just easier to digest.
That's been my experience experience and that's also just
my opinion, I think. But, uh, I tend to like, uh, varieties of races. I buy, sometimes I'll buy like
a sushi rice or sometimes I'll buy, um, I can't even remember the different ones. I just buy these
different brands. Like Jasmine rice. There you go. Jasmine rice. I'll, I'll buy some different
types of rice. And sometimes I'm excited about a long grain. Sometimes I'm excited about a short grain.
I didn't even know that there was different lengths.
Oh, Andrew, you have a lot to learn.
Set myself up with that one.
Yeah. You know who you could ask about that is Stephanie. She might have some information for you, buddy.
She's better not.
She's going to say, I know something. You something you're gonna be like what hold on oh my god i thought you said you didn't go to college
wait what you weren't supposed to have those slutty years what happened yeah wait a second
anyway uh so rice uh potatoes what kind of potatoes have at it man have some damn potatoes what i want you
to do from in this diet is i want you to learn about some different foods that you like that
maybe who knows man maybe you never even tried it yeah like just recently i didn't really uh
understand how good sweet potatoes can be sweet potatoes i think going from like having plain rice,
plain regular potatoes,
and then plain sweet potato,
like why the fuck would I mess with these other ones
when I can have this one that tastes amazing on its own?
Your favorite food is French fries, right?
Correct.
Now, French fries are in no way comparable
to eating a sweet potato, right?
Right.
But what are some other foods that you really enjoy that are kind of like junk food?
Well, I mean, full-on junk food?
Well, pizza's amazing.
Okay, so let's just take pizza.
Okay.
If you had the choice to eat pizza or to eat steak and a sweet potato,
what do you think you're going to go with and why?
Well, I think right now my situation is a little bit different than it used to be.
Previously, it would have easily been pizza just because it's convenient,
it's easy to chew on, easy to prepare, or just go buy.
Yeah, just buy it.
Any store has it pre-cooked, too, even going to a grocery store. Yeah, you go to Sprouts and go buy. Yeah. It's cheap. Yeah. Yeah. You know, when any store has it like pre-cooked to even like going to a grocery store,
like sprouts,
even Costco,
Costco has pizza,
right?
It's like a dollar for it's super cheap,
but now it's not even,
it last night,
uh,
we had a,
uh,
Jasmine wanted frozen pizza.
So made her a frozen pizza.
And my girlfriend and I had a jasmine wanted frozen pizza so made her a frozen pizza and my girlfriend and i had a
chicken tortilla soup and i looked at that pizza and i'm hungry because like you know like i was
telling you earlier like we had a really long day and i'm like oh man it's gonna take every ounce
of willpower to say no to this pizza because it looked amazing but i understood what the goal was
and i understood that we're gonna have a long ass day today.
Right.
I didn't want to impair my workout because of a stupid slice of pizza.
So when it comes to a steak and a sweet potato, I'm obviously going to select that over a pizza because of how much better I feel.
Right.
How much better I perform.
And then also, too, like I know like more recently, like you haven't been in love with steak and these things happen.
Sometimes you just,
the taste buds are like,
you know what?
We're done.
Yeah.
Let's just say it's,
uh,
let's say it's chicken.
And,
um,
and let's say it's chicken and a sweet potato.
Now I'll get into sauces and different things in a little bit.
Cause this,
that part can get a little bit confusing.
Um,
in general, it's not a great idea to really get used to them. Um, but, different things in a little bit because this that part can get a little bit confusing um in
general it's not a great idea to really get used to them um but there there is room for some
sometimes um anyway so you have like chicken and a sweet potato your your rationale for the pizza
okay i i love pizza pizza's great right but it's kind of random and i don't need the pizza
right now the pizza is also going to hurt my stomach the chicken and the sweet potato my
stomach's going to love me for it my body's going to love me for it it's going towards all my all
my goals that i have i should just eat that and i'm not going to end up on the toilet as much from that as I am from the pizza.
Right.
And, but the other thing that happens too, you're like, you know what?
That sweet potato is pretty damn good.
And there's certain situations too, where you can kind of, you can kind of add to things a little bit.
You don't want to make a habit of, of doing this all all the time but take a little pat of uh grass-fed
butter and chuck it on that damn sweet potato you're gonna think you and you know just so you're
not too much of a fatty just do that while you're while it's hot and then put the butter back in the
fridge uh these are things you're gonna have to learn to do but that's gonna taste so freaking
good yeah that when you're done eating it you're gonna be like man i do but that's gonna taste so freaking good yeah that when you're
done eating it you're gonna be like man i am so glad that that's what i ate yeah and you're gonna
be like fuck the pizza you don't even care and you'll see the pizza sitting on the counter you
see the pizza in the fridge next day or whatever because there's some left over you don't even give
a shit you don't even care you're like i don't even care about that it's not even it's not even
a thing anymore because you're like that that was actually really good. Yeah.
So what I'd like you guys, go ahead.
No, I was going to say, like, when not too long ago we went out with family to go have, they went and had pizza and we had poke.
It felt awesome, like, being able to, like, not necessarily, like, a huge win
or, like, a point on the scoreboard or whatever.
But, you know we we kind of
my girlfriend and i we walked out of that place with our head high what everyone else was like oh
yeah stuffed right right we were like dude i feel great yeah and even take like take a similar
situation right um let's say you go to a family gathering and uh you know everyone's gonna kind
of be uh you know diving into some crazy foods right
maybe on that day you have something that's a little bit different just so it just so it feels
more like uh celebratory it feels more fun like you know what like let's let's marinate some
chicken like in something so it's got a little more pop to it. Yeah. Let's throw those bitches on the barbecue.
When we go over to,
uh,
you know,
our cousin's house for their,
uh,
birthday barbecue that they have rather than like indulging in the hot dogs and
whatever else they're going to make,
they're going to make cheeseburgers and we're going to,
you know,
yeah,
we might have every intention of not eating the bun,
but we're probably going to eat the bun.
So let's just bring some of our own shit.
And you have something that's just a little bit different just a tiny bit different
um and there are barbecue sauces that you can buy nowadays that don't have yeah i have one at home
it's got like one it's got like one gram of sugar and it's it's pretty damn good um primal kitchen
makes a lot of really good products they make some different uh dressings they make some different
things that that work out pretty damn good uh they have a ketchup uh dressings they make some different things that
that work out pretty damn good uh they have a ketchup that i like it doesn't have a lot of
nice yeah catch i mean how great's ketchup i love ketchup i was wondering if anybody made
primal kitchen i'll have to check it out primal kitchen i'll just order some extra because i need
to order some anyway and i can't find it in the damn store. I tried the Walden Farms ketchup just because I'm like, weird.
Oh, dude, it's so gross.
It was like a watered down tomato paste.
It's just no good.
They do pretty good with some stuff, but they can't win on everything.
No, no, no, no.
You can also throw a little bit of honey on a sweet potato.
And it's like, man, that really gives it a lot.
That's dessert right there.
That gives it a lot of pop.
Hey, have you ever marinated chicken in some like lemon juice or lime?
Jesus Christ.
I mean, you can have.
I think so, yeah.
Yeah.
I mean, I'm sure a lot.
I mean, being Mexican, you've had to have lime chicken.
I mean, they have, there's a ton of that kind of stuff.
And not only lime chicken, but they do the same thing with beef a lot of times too.
For some of the tacos and stuff.
But man, that is so it that is so damn good now when it comes to your vegetables you can squeeze some lemons on it
i know a lot of this sounds weak i know a lot of this i understand how this sounds
these things taste good you got to trust me on this and and when you get used to these healthy
foods they fuel your body and they make you feel good. You feel better. You feel stronger. You feel,
you get leaner and you get a lot of the results that you want to get. And so it's not weak.
You know, I know you guys are probably thinking like, dude, let's throw down some hamburgers.
And yeah, you know, uh, that's, that is sometimes what powerlifting is all about is throwing down
some calories, but this is for a different person, a different purpose.
Sorry.
The next group of carbs on the old menu here is oatmeal.
I recommend gluten-free oats.
But if, well, I'll just say gluten-free oats.
We'll stick with that.
I'm not a fan of the quick oats.
But if for some reason you feel you
have less time than I do and I go for it, but I, what I do is I usually soak the oats overnight.
Um, I have been messing with fermenting them as well, where I put some hot water in a pot
and I put the oats on the stove. Um, I have like a water purifier thing at my house and it's got hot and
cold and it has almost like boiling, boiling water that comes out of it. So I soak the oats in that
overnight. And then I put, uh, uh, a little thingy, like a tablespoon of, uh, of yogurt in there.
And that's the way I eat my oats are kind of like fermented oats, I guess you'd say. Um,
That's the way I eat my oats.
They're kind of like fermented oats, I guess you'd say.
You might not enjoy the flavor of that.
I happen to like it, you know, so for me, it's good.
But you can also just soak your oats and you can squeeze a little bit of lemon juice in there.
Or you can just soak your oats and just throw some salt in there and put the lid on it.
Leave that thing for overnight. When you wake up in the morning, pop it on.
And when you're cooking up whatever breakfast that you normally have or heating up something for breakfast, um,
it'll take a while, take eight, 10 minutes to cook that thing up. Uh, and you got to stir it
here and there. So it doesn't stick to the pan or pot, but, uh, it's great. It gives you an,
it's a nice amount of food too. When you eat oatmeal, it's just so rich and it like it's just uh it's thick you
know and so if you don't really love the taste of oatmeal here's where you can get i mentioned you
can have fruit now you can throw some fruit into your oatmeal you could throw some berries in there
there's a bunch of different things you can do um i also mentioned that you can have some honey
so you can throw some honey in there just when you're doing all these things, just small amounts.
We're not trying to turn your oatmeal into a bowl of honey.
We're trying just to flavor your oatmeal slightly.
And the idea and the goal here is to get used to how the greens taste.
When you get used to how greens taste and used to how vegetables taste and used to how
you get used to what oats are supposed to taste like and what rice is supposed to taste
like and what potatoes are supposed to taste like, just with some light salt on them or
just with a little bit of butter on them or just even sometimes if you take rice and if you take rice and you cook it with um some let's say some mushrooms and some uh some
beef and you throw it in a pan holy shit that has a way different flavor than if you just eat rice
by just the way it normally cooks rice has absolutely no flavor to it really it just has a
nice texture to it you throw some salt on it, that kind of changes everything. But if you cook it in a pan with, um, you make almost like a stir fry, throw a little
olive oil in the pan and don't be afraid to just try.
No one really discovers anything or figures out anything without, you know, uh, making
shit up.
Just make some shit up, throw some olive oil in the pan, throw some beef in the pan.
Uh, obviously the rice needs to be already cooked.
Hopefully, you already kind of recognize that.
The rice is already cooked.
Now, you're just kind of heating it up with some beef and throwing some peppers.
It doesn't have to be this well-planned out crazy meal where you have 9,000 ingredients.
Throw in some peppers, some mushrooms.
If you don't like mushrooms, leave them out.
But mushrooms have a ton of potassium in them as well.
The peppers have some potassium and other and vitamin C and stuff like that in there.
Well, now you just made something that went from just really not having a whole lot of
flavor because the beef is just going to taste like beef and the rice is just going to taste
like rice.
You throw some salt in there and that's going to change things a little bit, but it's not
going to have a ton of flavor that really pops.
Now you throw in some of this other stuff.
You throw in those peppers and those mushrooms.
You changed everything.
It's going to taste entirely different.
It's going to be way different.
Even take some ground beef, throw it in a pan, cook it up, get everything all nice and hot.
At the end, chuck a little bit of ketchup on there.
hot at the end chuck some chuck a little bit ketchup on there you know even if even even if on this plan you're not you don't buy the special kind of primal kitchen uh ketchup i would prefer
that you buy ketchup that doesn't have like added sugar and a bunch of crap in it but
if you use heinz ketchup some heinz ketchup this is a drop in the bucket and this is not the
conversation this is not um this is not the conversation i'm trying to have with everybody
the conversation i'm trying to have with everybody's i'm trying to get them away from
junk yeah ketchup could be in the category of junk but um i'd rather have you use small amounts
of ketchup than to ever have a salad that has a ton of dressing on it because i know when you
use dressing that you're going to use like, uh, probably, I don't know, six
tablespoons of dressing just to, just to really, uh, wet down the vegetables enough to get
them down.
And that, that's going to have an enormous amount of calories in it.
And that's not, that's not anything you're allowed to do on this plant.
Speaking of that, people ask a lot about, uh, and the last source of carbs you can have
is honey.
And then also, obviously the fruit kind of falls in that carbohydrate category. So the,
the carbs you can have rice, potatoes, oatmeal, honey. Um, in terms of fats, we got olive oil,
coconut oil, um, olive oil, coconut oil, avocado oil. There's probably some other oils that I'm leaving out.
But on your vegetables, you can't use ranch dressing.
You can't use all these crappy ingredients.
If you want to get some stuff from Primal Kitchen, you certainly can.
They have some different types of dressings that don't have these polyunsaturated fats that are shitty for you. Polyunsaturated
fats supposedly, or maybe not even supposedly, but through some research I've heard, become
part of your cells for up to 21 days and they wreak havoc on your body. I'm not even going
to get into all the negatives. You can kind of look it up yourself. Again, if you look up Ray Peet talking about some of these polyunsaturated fats or even Stan Efferding, they're called PUFA.
P-U-F-A.
PUFA.
I know it has a funny name.
It sounds like FUPA, which we're all so obsessed about in this podcast.
The FUPA.
Anyway, use olive oil on your vegetables use um avocado oil or even if you make
a good salad you almost don't even need dressing you can squeeze some lemon on that bitch and
you're done have a salad that has uh some greens some carrots some some peppers, some mushrooms, some different flavors in there. Throw some cheese
in there. Throw some lemon juice on top of that and throw some salt on it and you're good.
Vinegar, balsamic vinegar. Balsamic vinegar will have sugar in it, but it's, look, it's not the
end of the world. We don't have a lot of sugar in this diet. There's some sugar from the fruit.
There's some sugar from, I said you could have honey. I prefer to have like raw honey,
by the way, any opportunity to get, try to buy local, you know, try to get the Omega three eggs,
you know, spring spend the extra couple of bucks. I think it's worth it. Um, these are all things
that like I personally buy into whether they actually work or not.
I don't really know.
But I think that when you kind of, when you start to buy into these things and when you
have a belief and a self-belief about it, I think it changes everything because you
believe everything's working better and you're believing in yourself more and you're like,
this is the program.
This is what I'm supposed to be doing.
It's a purchase, you know, it's a purchase into what it is that you're trying to do and to me it helps keeps you uh omega-3 eggs question mark
did i say that funny omega-3 eggs yes they have higher dha and epa some people just feed chickens
like whatever because chickens will eat anything so yeah you know i i don't know i don't know if you can show like one egg has you know
i just buy into it i just do it um if you have the opportunity to buy grass fed
buy it here and there but if you don't like it don't worry about it don't sweat it
um you're not going to die faster from having uh you know from having one egg versus the other
you're not going to die faster from having,
you know,
one type of meat,
you know,
over the other,
but whenever possible,
try to go local,
try to go grass fed,
try to go organic,
just do the best you can.
And if you're like,
Whoa,
like the,
it's a fricking $4 difference per pound.
Then don't do it.
Don't worry about it.
Don't sweat it.
It's not a huge deal.
Whenever convenient,
whenever you can try to lean towards that.
If it ain't going to happen, it ain't going to happen.
The thing I want to point out to people is like, none of the stuff that I mentioned on here tastes like shit.
It all tastes really good.
We all love meat.
We all love eggs.
We all love cheese.
We all love rice.
We all love potatoes.
Maybe not everybody has taste buds for oatmeal. We all love eggs. We all love cheese. We all love rice. We all love potatoes.
Maybe not everybody has taste buds for oatmeal.
We all like certain types of fruit. We all like some certain types of fats.
We all like certain types.
Well, not everybody likes vegetables, but even myself who has hated vegetables for years,
I've learned to enjoy eating some vegetables and
you don't have to be eating vegetables all day, but let's just say that you hate eating vegetables,
blend up some damn greens in a shake, you know, throw, throw some, now spinach has a different
flavor than kale. If you, if you mix up some kale and a chocolate protein shake or vanilla protein
shake works pretty good. If you mix up spinach, it's got more of the spinach takes over.
Why first meal should be high protein and vegetables?
That's not anything that I really mentioned, but that's a question that came in from someone on Instagram.
that's a question that came in from someone on Instagram.
You know, I think that protein is the goal.
Protein is the goal.
Everything else is secondary and third dairy.
But you want to try to get in protein.
And a way to get in protein is just to look at food labels and try to look at things that have a higher amount of protein than everything
else that it has in it.
Some people will say that like milk is high in fat, but milk has like eight grams of fat
per serving.
But then I think it will have closer to like, uh, maybe like 13 or 14 grams of protein per
serving as well.
I could be wrong on that.
Maybe we can look it up.
Yeah.
Uh, but it will have some sugar in it.
You know, it has some lactose in it.
But even with the milk, I don't want you drinking tons and tons of milk.
Eight ounces a day, maybe two cups a day.
You know, so 16 ounces a day.
Somewhere in there.
We don't have to have enormous amounts of stuff.
Same thing with yogurt.
So milk has eight grams protein according to,
well, that's 1% at a one cup. Yeah. So milk has about, there you go. It has about,
has about a one-to-one ratio. A lot of meat does as well. A lot of, uh, a lot of the meats that we
buy in the store, the leaner cuts of meat anyway, we'll have about a one-to-one ratio. So that's
not, that's not even bad. That's not even like like that's not an enormous amount of uh is that four ounces or eight ounces uh it just says
one cup so i'm assuming eight ounces yeah that's probably about eight ounces um so anyway that's
that's the diet plan and uh i know that we're going to be going over this shit quite a bit but
that's uh that's some of the stuff that's going on and and andrew mentioned
eating a chicken tortilla soup now did you and your girlfriend take any precautions in making
that chicken tortilla soup so it was more more leaning towards being jacked and tan so i mean i
hope i don't sound too i don't know lame for this but again this long night that we you know
experienced or whatever so it was actually uh just just a Costco already pre-made tortilla soup.
But we got a rotisserie chicken.
And so I threw more chunks of chicken in there.
Yeah.
And my second bowl, I'm like, dude, I'm going to still be way too hungry.
So I threw in a cup of rice in my next one.
And that was like, oh, this is way too much.
But what ended up happening is it just made me more fulfilled
and it was really good.
And then I was good for the night.
So just adding just plain white rice to something that was already pre-made
that was full of flavor.
I'm sure like the whatever macros, whatever the fuck you want to call it,
was not great.
But the pre-made soup, did you bother to look at the macros?
Or were you just like, no, I haven't.
I looked at it and it wasn't awful.
Yeah.
But like, I don't know as far as like other ingredients or preservatives.
Who cares?
But like carb content was super low because it was just like, you know,
like it's mainly sodium.
Yeah.
And I'm not too worried about that.
It's mainly sodium, and I'm not too worried about that.
Protein was fairly low for a, quote, chicken soup,
so that's why we added more chicken to it.
Just to interrupt you for a second, somebody said they can't hear you.
Well, you can't hear them because you need to go on YouTube. You need to go to our YouTube channel, which is powerproject.live.
We're just on here just to kind of throw these up here and there.
So apologize that you can't hear them.
We're going to work on some different technology to see if we can get that done as well.
We're also live on Facebook.
You can check it out there as well.
Yeah.
But after everything, it was pretty good.
You're going to have some things that are going to be like, you know, they're going to be, I call it like an audible. You're going to have some things that are gonna be like you know they're gonna be i call it like an audible you're gonna have some things that are gonna be a little different here
and there um i don't know like let's say you had it planned out um the whole week that you're gonna
go out with your girlfriend thursday night and you're gonna go have dinner but you had it planned
to where you're still gonna eat healthy you're going to your favorite restaurant you're gonna
get your favorite thing.
You guys were both like, yeah, we'll get this appetizer
that, you know, doesn't have a lot of junk in it, you know,
and you're going to eat the certain meal that you like
and you're going to keep everything, you know.
Like my wife and I go to a place in Davis called Our House.
We go there quite a bit.
And I always get a filet.
We order this appetizer that has like some meatballs um i'm
sure there's probably more fat in those meatballs than like you know i would normally eat there's
more this or more that but sometimes things are really a little different but what if you know
i'm on my way home from the gym and uh you know my wife says hi you know quinn got sick at school
she's throwing up and well i might say okay well uh you know what i'll sick at school. She's throwing up. And, well, I might say, okay, well, you know what?
I'll stop by Dos Coyote.
I'll pick up some food for us.
And you know what?
There's going to be times where we eat something different.
Who the fuck cares?
It's not a huge deal, right?
Now, I'm not going to eat something that's way off base.
I'm still going to go for protein first.
So I'll probably get, like, some sort of chicken bowl.
You know, depending on the restaurant, like, you know, Mexican restaurant, I'd love to get beans and stuff like that too,
but I know they're probably cooked in some oil and probably going to really crush my stomach.
So I'll probably get some chicken. I might get some rice. I might get some avocado.
I might get some salsa. Maybe I'll get some cheese in there. And again, it's not, it's not the, it's not a Jay Cutler.
I'm getting ready for a bodybuilding show meal.
It's healthy enough for that particular day.
I'm not going to be rolling in that restaurant every day though, either, which I think that's
a big mistake that people make.
People think that people honestly think they can go to Chipotle every day and you can't,
you just can't.
I know there's a lot of ripped dudes and stuff, uh, and some girls that are in pretty good
shape and stuff on Instagram that are sharing that.
But these are people that have been ahead for a really long time.
And that's important for people to understand.
And a lot of these people too, are they making progress?
Are they in better shape?
These guys and girls that are posting these pictures of eating in and out and stuff, are
they in better shape than they used to be?
What gains have they made?
What progress have they made?
Who do they coach that really has made, you know, has, who do they coach that has done,
has followed the same protocol and really made a lot of progress?
That's what you have to kind of look at.
Even somebody like Lane Norton.
I like Lane Norton.
Lane Norton and I are friends, but Lane Norton's always been skinny.
You know, I don't have, I don't have things in common with somebody that's always been okay yeah that's interesting you know what i mean he's always he's always been ahead i'm not dismissing
any of the information he has he has outstanding information and i i love the fact that lane
norton is is in this industry i think he's helped uh thousands of people and the information he has
helps people
decipher between, you know, what's right and what's bullshit. He does a great job of that.
Um, and just because he's skinny, doesn't, doesn't take anything away from anything. But I'm saying
is the way that he, uh, is able to maybe eat certain things. Maybe I'm not, and maybe the
next guy is not, but maybe there's another guy that is right. So it's going to be a little
different for each person. But when you see these people that are posting that
they're going to like, and I'm not even saying Lane Norton posted, he goes to Polk every day,
but there are people that post that kind of stuff and they, they, they think it's funny and they
think it's this and that. And I'm just like, there's nothing funny about it. It's, it's a
mixed message. It's a crap message. And it doesn't, it doesn't share, it doesn't help anybody.
I don't think.
Yeah.
And by skinny,
you don't mean like he's scrawny.
You just mean like he doesn't have an issue with gaining like fat.
I meant his entire life that he's never had a surplus of fat.
There you go.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I stand corrected because Lane Norton's jacked.
He's not skinny.
There you go.
Uh,
he's got definitely has some pipes on him and he's strong.
He's stronger than I am,
especially,
uh,
when it comes to that squat and when it comes to that deadlift he's a wrecking machine yeah um
but yeah i think that uh you know again back to you know things like eating out this is the things
that i'd like to try to pull you guys away from uh more often can you eat out once twice a week sure um you know you don't want to make it happen every single day
um and there's different things that you can eat from different places that isn't necessarily
eating out like today i had uh and actually the last two or three days i had some stuff from
starbucks but i didn't eat like a breakfast sandwich and they already eat like a lunch
sandwich or anything i didn't have like grilled cheese or something like that. I had, um, their protein
pack thing. And I had hard boiled eggs, which they're not cooking the hard boiled egg in any
sort of weird oil or anything. It's just, it's just a hard boiled egg. Uh, and it comes with
some cheese. Um, and then I bought another thing of theirs that had some carrots and some fruit in
it and that's what I ate.
There's a lot more options around you than you think.
Yeah.
And I think you always just think, oh, there's Jag in the box.
Yeah.
Well, I mean, like, take our situation last night.
Like, it was late.
We were really hungry.
And it would have been so easy to go drive through, like, an In-N-Out.
And it would have been totally excusable.
Like, you know, we would have made excuses for it but instead we we did make we we ate pre-made stuff like you know don't get me wrong i didn't
go home and make a homemade meal but we still got stuff that was i mean like i said it's just
chicken soup basically and it was all like it wasn't bad at all and it tasted good but it was
fast you know because it was already pre-made but it wasn't jack-in and it tasted good but it was fast you know because it was already
pre-made but it wasn't jack-in-the-box you can also cook something like that at home which would
even be a better option but you can cook a giant amount of it and you have it all week long and
what's funny is after we were done i'm like dude this tastes like something and uh stephanie
actually makes a soup that tastes almost exactly like it but you're right she makes a big old like
yeah home depot five gallon bucket full of it and it's amazing they copied her recipe they might have soup that tastes almost exactly like it, but you're right. She makes a big old like Home Depot five
gallon bucket full of it.
And it's amazing.
They copied her recipe.
They might've.
But you can get things like a slow cooker.
I mean, you can get a rice cooker.
You cook enormous amounts of rice and have,
and rice doesn't really, I mean,
it takes a long time for rice to go bad in
your fridge after it's cooked.
Man, there's, there's a lot of options.
And if you're like, man, cooking up that oatmeal
every morning is a pain in the ass,
cook up a giant thing of it.
Oatmeal is totally fine in the fridge after it's cooked.
Nothing weird is going to happen to it.
Or do overnight oats or whatever.
Yeah, I mean, there's tons of options
that you can make things work a different way.
This guy says he always sabotages his fat loss gains
chasing strength gains.
I hate not prepping my fat numbers in lifts when I'm cutting.
I don't really understand that last part, but I do understand what he's talking about.
You know, he basically, you know, a lot of people say, oh, when I follow that diet, am I going to lose strength?
Most of the time diets are to lose weight in most cases.
Most of the diets I've helped people with over the years are to lose weight.
The same process and the same foods that are used to lose weight are actually used to gain weight as well.
The only difference is there's more of them. You know, there's more, more of the same foods to lose weight are actually used to gain weight as well. The only difference is there's more of them.
You know, there's more, more of the same foods to gain weight.
And it's, uh, you know, less of the same foods to lose weight.
Uh, but the food doesn't really change.
Although there may be like an influx of like things like peanut butter, or there may be
an influx of butter or bacon.
There might be room for some more things like that.
You know, so there might be some other options available when you're gaining weight.
But this is a huge problem that a lot of people face, and it's like, man, if you have,
I always talk about trying to figure out what's reasonable, right?
And let's just talk about your personal mindset from the time you wake up to the time you get to work or from the time you wake up until the time you're in public.
Do you roll out of bed and do you not care at all what you look like?
Do you like not take a shower?
Do you not fix your hair?
Do you not like, do you just not care?
Like, you know, if you're somebody that just doesn't care,
you know, then like you don't care about the shoes you got on
or whether you have sweats on or jeans
or you don't care whether you have a nice polo on
or a v-neck or you don't care whether you have a nice polo on or a V-neck, or you don't care
about anything, then maybe, maybe it doesn't, you know, maybe you're not worried about like
losing weight and looking a little bit better and feeling a little bit better. Um, it's not
always just about losing weight either. It's about looking more substantial. So it's not really
always just about, you know, losing 10 pounds of fat or 20
pounds of fat. It's about losing five pounds of fat, but holding onto all the muscle, which will
actually in turn, make you look more jacked. And I think that's a lot of time people's, you know,
the goal that people have, but when you're 50 pounds overweight or 60 pounds overweight,
why in the hell are you spending so much time in the morning with your hair, girls with your makeup,
and girls with like the clothes that they put on. Guys just don't have that many options when it comes to clothes. Girls have a lot more options. That's why I usually use girls as an example in
this. You spend all this time on your hair. You spend all this time in your clothes you spend time and money on jewelry
and everything looks great but then you're still really heavy so i'm not saying that you should
never dress up but i'm saying a quicker route to looking good in the morning would be to weigh less
i'm not trying to be that's not i'm not trying to be insulting, but there is the saying that you can't put whipped cream on shit and make it taste any better.
It could taste a little bit better.
It can taste better, yeah, but it's still going to be shit, right?
It's still going to smell like shit, right?
So what I would like to see people do, than like spend money and time on these other things.
And you hear people say that too, about their food.
Like, oh man, I can't afford to eat like that.
Bullshit.
You can't afford to eat like that.
You don't have any idea on the ridiculous amount of money that you spend on other bullshit all the time.
Like, let's just get real.
Nobody's dying.
Nobody's dying for their next meal.
nobody's dying nobody's dying for their next meal everyone's got some extra everyone's got a little extra cash to you know put a little bit of an investment in their health and look better and
feel better there's there's so many different ways of doing it and i i shared this earlier
today with joey she asked me she's like did you ever have a budget you know when you're
shopping and you know when you were younger and like you know, when you were younger and like, what, like, what did that look like? And I said, you know what, Joey, I've never been broke. I I've never,
ever treated myself as being broke. I've always tried to, I've always tried to go for and strive
for the best. I've always tried to treat myself the best. It doesn't mean I was always able,
able to, or capable of doing that. Um, but I always tried, you know, I always was like,
what, you know, I'm going to try for
the best option for me for right now. And that's the way I always looked at it too. I was never
like, Oh, I can't afford that. I think, you know, I can't afford that is, is a, is a recipe to really
slow you down and really kind of hamper your progress. When you, you, you just told yourself
that you can't afford something. Like, it's almost like, I don't deserve that. Well, it's, it does not really that that's not really
the case. Uh, you know, you're, you're not able to get that for right now, but you're going to
be able to get that soon. You know, that's something that you're going to be able to
strive for. That's something to strive for. That's not something to put yourself down about.
That's not something to get negative about. That's something to be for. That's not something to put yourself down about. That's not something to get negative about.
That's something to be positive about.
Like, wow, you know, in a year or two, it'd be great when I can just afford to get whatever
the hell I want in this grocery store and as much of it as I want, that'll be awesome.
And that's going to happen.
And I can't wait.
You know, it's going to be cool when that happens next year or the year after or whatever,
you know, whatever, whatever you set your mind, you set your mind to be. There's a famous quote
from Abraham Lincoln, where he says, uh, you can be, you can be as happy as you set your mind to
be. Yeah. Like what a fucking simple statement that is like, holy crap. I can, I can determine
that. And I've said it before on this podcast, you get to pick your friends, you get to pick
the food that you eat.
You get to pick who you're with the rest of your life.
You get to pick like everything.
You can't pick your parents, but you get to actually pick and choose.
Like if you don't like your parents, you can move the hell away from them.
You get to pick and choose everything in life.
And, you know, people just, they tend to kind to kind of you know bitch and moan about it but you have the ability to make these really great positive changes to
your life but yet you keep sticking your vote and sticking your money towards the things that are
just pulling you away from those those goals all the time and uh again you see these guys like
they're freaking trimming their eyebrows and
getting their beard all perfect their hair all perfect and doing all this stuff and it's like
dude you're fucking fat you know you're fat you don't look good like you spent all this time
trying to look good and you don't look good yeah so i don't know i don't know why you're trying to
like pretend that you look good but you just just don't, I don't care what car
you drive, what house you have or whatever the hell else you got going on. Um, if you're not
happy, you're not successful. And how can you be happy? The way that you can be happy is being
fulfilled by yourself, feeling good about yourself. Like you did something. And I think that
unfortunately there's so much quote unquote weight that is put on your looks.
That's, I mean, that's just the way things are.
I don't know if that's human nature, if that's society.
I don't know where it comes from.
But the way that you look and the way that you treat other people, the way that you treat yourself is just so important that you can't escape it.
It is a huge part of success. And if
you don't look the part, I think that it makes it harder. It makes it harder to be the success that
you want to be. Now there's some people sometimes like maybe like someone like Warren Buffett,
right? Warren Buffett is basically the most successful man that like has ever walked the
face of the earth or at least one of them. Um, he owns like something like 800 businesses or something like that.
Something wild like that.
He's kind of known as like the entrepreneur of all entrepreneurs because he's
run so many different types of businesses,
but like,
he's always been a little bit chubby.
He's always been a little bit overweight,
but also too,
he probably never bitches about it.
Like he probably,
not that he doesn't care about his looks at all,
but like,
he probably feels like he,
he probably feels like he's happy enough with the way that he looks that he
can keep going.
Right.
But then you have these other people that complain about it all the time and
they complain and they'll say,
oh man,
I wish I could go on a low carb diet or I wish I could,
you can come on,
dude,
you can,
you kidding me?
You can't do it.
Like what a pussy.
Like why?
You don't understand though.
My family doesn't eat that way.
No, no one in my area lifts like that.
I, you know, I wish I had a gym like super training.
Cause I would lift like that every day.
No, no, you wouldn't.
You want to know why?
Cause super training gym is free and it's been free for a really long time.
There's about 30 people that train here.
That's it.
There's nobody else because it's hard.
It's not easy.
Right.
You know, it's simple.
If the gym is free, you got to participate.
You got to be into other people's workouts and, uh, it's going to consume some of your
time because you can't just come in here and just haphazardly do your own lift and keep
to yourself.
You got to be involved with other people and you got to help other people.
But the gym's free.
The gym's free and you figure the place would be stacked with like 300 people.
Yeah.
But we've never ever even had to develop any sort of waiting list or anything.
How crazy is that?
It's nuts.
It doesn't make any sense.
I know.
I was trying to explain that to uh
who that i don't remember who it was i think it was uh someone's neighbor or something i don't
anyway whoever it was explaining like the whole thing and he's like oh my gosh like
is there like how do you sign up to be a member like well we don't we don't have that and he's
like but but it's free you guys have to have like hundreds of people daily trying to come in and
train.
It was like,
you would think that,
but the gym kind of,
it,
it,
it,
it,
it,
it filters people out.
Yeah.
Like even if somebody does show up,
they kind of don't stick around.
Right.
Really weird.
Not because I would imagine someone's like,
Oh,
you guys are a bunch of dicks then.
But no,
it's just,
it's hard.
It's,
it's a lot of hard work and it's,
uh,
it's once you're in though and you're on the
team it's kind of amazing like these guys are all like their family right yeah you know i've never
felt that anywhere obviously never had a there's no other super training gym out there but uh it
was just funny because he's like what do you mean i'm like you don't get it yeah it's uh this place is different this guy um christian i think
his name is he says costco is the solution to cost effective healthy eating and then you know
what else someone else gonna say i don't have a costco membership yeah dude we get it like okay
but figure it out yeah you know borrow your moms or some shit or like we're just
i mean walmart's free and it's i mean yeah there's other options you know don't don't you know don't
use stuff like that i think that guy christian he made a great point uh deer season has begun
get begun time to load up that freezer yeah yeah i mean look man there's you got tons everyone
everyone knows friends are like hunters and like dude like those people can't even keep up with
the amount of meat that they have sometimes so bum some shit off of them yeah uh one of the guys
in the chat box he's been around a lot and i don't mean to call him out. My gym sucks. I'd be there if I lived close.
How many times did we hear that?
Yeah.
Yeah, there's a lot.
Well, there's plenty of people that live close.
I mean, there's thousands and thousands of people that live in this area.
But, I mean, people from other states are just like, all right, move here, and you can train here for free.
Right.
And I was like, I wasn't being serious.
Yeah.
right i wasn't being serious yeah this guy is really cool but i mean it's just funny because like for the uh tomorrow seminar oh man if i lived closer i would go
well right what what other uh opportunity are you gonna have where the destination that you're
traveling to is free yeah you know like if you want to go on vacation or whatever you have to
get there then pay when you get there and what you know so it's like yeah like fuck man it's an amazing chance
it's like um with some of you guys that have kind of signed on to like work here and stuff like i
you know uh not everybody has needed like you know uh me to like you know sell them on the
place or anything but when i was talking to terrell, I was like, dude, it's simple.
Move here.
I'll change your life forever.
You know, I, and I, I'm dead serious and it has nothing to do with like, I'm going to
show you, you know, I, I'm going to, you know, show you the right way to live your life or
nothing weird like that.
Like, this is a great community.
There's great people here.
You're going to learn a lot of great stuff.
like this is a great community there's great people here you're going to learn a lot of great stuff and if it works out and you end up working here the rest of your career and and uh you end
up moving up in the company and making tons of money and the company keeps uh flourishing and
well that's cool but even if you're here for a year it's going to change your life and i already
know that yeah because it's changing it changes my life all the time it changes your life all the time um jessica smith i mean everybody here their lives have been
changed by the opportunities inside this building and it's really been it's you can see it more in
certain people than you can see it in others um but man this place is this place is fun you know
we were all giving jessica a bunch of crap because she's like going to a wedding. And I was like, don't leave.
I was like, are you part time?
Like, what are we supposed to do?
Like, you're always here.
You always help us.
I don't know what's going on.
I was telling her, like, this is how it starts.
Like, okay, you're out for this weekend.
And then all of a sudden you're out all weekends.
And then, like, it's half a week.
And then we don't see you anymore.
Just keep sliding downhill.
Just busting her
balls, lady balls.
Busting her lady nutsack.
You didn't talk about salt
on the diet or the
not diet, whatever, the
be less fatter-ist
diet.
I mean, any...
Yeah, throw some salt in there. Salt
some of your foods.
Hydration is a big thing. I mean, any, uh, yeah, throw some salt in there, you know, salt, salt, some of your foods. Um,
you know, uh, hydration is a big, is a big thing. So, um, how much water should you drink? You know, we had a very simple thing yesterday that, uh, girl we had on the podcast, Gabrielle Lyon,
she said, you know, drink as much as you can. I thought that was actually an interesting concept,
but you know, on a more serious note,
um, have, you know, at least three glasses of water every day, three, just giant glasses
of water that are just water.
Just have three glasses of water every day.
Now the rest of the liquids that you fill in throughout the day, and I imagine most
of you are pretty active.
So you're probably, you're probably drinking a good amount of water.
You have some people say have a gallon every day. Um, there's some math equations that you are pretty active. So you're probably, you're probably drinking a good amount of water. You have some people say, have a gallon every day.
Um, there's some math equations that you can look up, um, where you can have like, uh,
you know, supposed to have like 67% of your body weight in ounces of water a day, which
is actually, I don't know.
I don't know where this, uh, came from, but it actually is a very effective, uh, it's
a very effective amount to have every day.
For me, that came out to be over a gallon of water every day.
I don't think I need that much.
Um, I could probably have three quarters of a gallon every day and be totally fine.
Um, but just, just mess around with it, you know, and if you're just drink more water
than you did yesterday and work on it for a little while and if you're just drink more water than you did yesterday
and work on it for a little while if you pee all day long and you know it's a real nuisance and
and you've been you've been feeling fine previously then maybe cut it back a little bit
but if you have headaches middle of the day you have fatigue could simply just be water a lot of
times fatigue and headaches are just they're just related to just water sometimes.
Isn't that crazy?
Sometimes too much caffeine, things like that.
But sometimes it's, it's that simple.
It's just your body's like, hey dude, like, I don't know what's been going on over there, but you need to start drinking more water.
Yeah.
So then what about caffeine?
Caffeine, I would say, you know, have a cup of coffee every day.
caffeine i would say you know have a cup of coffee every day you know if you like coffee have a cup every day um and try to keep it uh sometime before if you're going to bed at like going to bed at
like anywhere between any time past nine o'clock i would say you know the cutoff would be around 2
p.m you know try to cut it off early if you like to work out in the pm and you like to go to bed you know at a reasonable time
nine nine ten o'clock something like that uh stay away from those pre-workouts in my opinion i don't
think it's uh i don't think it's a good idea to rely on that kind of stuff um in terms of sauces
and stuff like that we did mention you can have some different things mustard a lot of times is
something that people will use here and there because mustard usually doesn't have hardly anything in it except
for like salt, vinegar. It doesn't usually have that much like, you know, junk
in it. You want to stay away from things like teriyaki sauces
and barbecue sauces. Typically they just are loaded with a bunch of crap. There are
some barbecue sauces on the market that have less
sugar nowadays and, and things like
that. But anyway, I'm really excited about the seminar for tomorrow and I'm excited to help
people, you know, through this diet plan, but seminar tomorrow, I'm going to hammer talking
about consistency a lot. Um, a lot of you guys are going to be able to follow along. We will be
what on Facebook live on bodybuilding.com, bodybuildingbuilding.com and then if i can uh work it well enough then we'll stream probably on our main channel i just
got to run that through the uh the proper personnel to make sure that that's okay personnel personnel
that just walked in now we should stop talking we probably stopped the podcast everything nobody
chat anything anymore.
