The three smartest and dumb guys you will ever meet.
It's the smartest and dumbest dumb guys.
Yeah, interesting.
Yeah, if we put us in a room with a bunch of really stupid people, we would probably be
smartest.
The smartest and a roomful of dumbed and dumb guys.
Yeah, thank you.
I don't feel that good about that.
I feel pretty confident about that.
I feel good about that. I'll take it. I'll take it. There's somebody out there dumb or nice
Does at least three people to be there's maybe three four people out there that are
Adam who Adam
I got a few weeks ago you went to the Sacramento. Oh, yeah, two weeks just got it. So yeah about a week
Not this last weekend. I was in Vegas. We give him before that. Yeah, cuz we have a lot of people that ask us
You know that are in the competitive world the physique not this last weekend, I was in Vegas, we give him a four that. Yeah, because we have a lot of people that ask us,
you know, that are in the competitive world,
the physique competitive world, and they ask,
they wanna know more details about that.
I love talking about this,
because it's like foreign language, you guys,
and say, yeah, but me and Justin,
we just look at, he like, with our eyes all,
and the headlights like, yeah, dude.
You guys only knew how little they care about this stuff,
man, I twist their arms, though.
I know there's listeners out there that like to hear about this and that are inspired to become an athlete
I just want to know like back pose like who had the tightest is
So boy shit, bro
So so yeah, talk tell us about this. So first of all
Going to this it was it a fitness like was it a fitness convention or was it just, because I've been to the Arnold Classic
and these big conventions with lots of supplements.
Okay, so typically they have,
this was not a convention,
although almost all shows now have turned into like,
I don't wanna say a mini convention,
but they all have got tons of booths and things
that are out there.
So this one did that.
Yeah, they all will now.
They all now, I mean, it's crazy. I mean, I've been around this now. I mean, I've been in it for two years now,
and I've been around the circuit and the whole bodybuilding world for, I don't know,
but eight, ten years I've been going, you know, sporadically, and it's crazy to what it's grown to.
I mean, when I first went to my first bodybuilding show like eight years ago, it was held in like a
high school theater, you know, and there was like 15 people that were watching
and 10 of them were family and friends.
You know, like, it just wasn't cool, you know,
it wasn't cool and not a lot of people were into it
very few competitors.
A lot of times you do a show and guarantee yourself a trophy
because there wasn't even five people in your class.
Oh, find me that competition.
Yeah, I'll do that one.
So, you know, and now it's, I mean, it's crazy.
There's anywhere between 500 to 800 athletes that are competing
There's yeah thousands of people that are there and there's all kinds of booths that are up that are promoting their all their different supplements and bars and shakes and t-shirts and
All kinds of gadgets and fun stuff like that. So you know, they're actually become a little bit cooler to go to you know and this
This is actually my first show
as a pro going to watch an amateur and a pro show.
So this is my first time doing that
since I went pro.
So it was pretty good.
So people like immediately recognize you,
it's like a pro.
We're gonna put you on the spot.
Yeah, it's we love to eat at them.
You know what?
Because we were invited to go,
but because me mean you have
Families and shit right hard to just you know take off
You know because we have important things to do like no, I'm gonna put you on the spot
I know you're in bear. I know you you're you get embarrassed talking about this
But you did tell us that people were recognizing you
You said a lot of people had been listening to the show and had recognized you from the show.
What was that?
What was that all about, Tulsa?
Yeah, well, this is the part.
I don't know how well I handle all this.
I'm not that guy.
As much as I'm outgoing and personable and I love that.
I'd be lying if I said I don't enjoy a positive attention
who doesn't need to be a liar to say you don't, you know, but it is,
it's a little different. It's a little weird for me for people to ask for
autographs and take pictures and do wait in line to talk to me over it. Like,
and this was probably the, the most I'd experienced that. You know, I get it here,
and I got it when I was in, people, some people noticed me out of the pool and,
and set the club when I was in Vegas and things like that and
You know that's whatever but this was like I actually had people like standing like waiting though
You know one person would be talking to me for like 10 minutes and there'd be like two three other people just wait
They just stand there like 20 minutes wait just this just I'm like damn. That's that's a little weird
I would never do that, you know, but but it was cool though, you know
I'm and I and I I truly and spend time, and I really appreciate it.
I got nothing but love for everybody that's like that,
and I love to talk to people and hear their story
and what inspires them and why they're doing what they're doing,
and a lot of people have good questions.
Are they fitness related questions,
or are they more like just regular, I mean?
Yeah, it's not like,
I don't feel like a freaking rock star
or like a movie star celebrity test.
It's like, oh my god, it's not like that.
It's, they wanna pry and gnaw, they wanna hear the knowledge.
You know, I enjoy that.
You know, I think the, the start of feeling,
or feeling like that would be really, really weird.
At least like these people want to ask me questions about, you know, how I train and how
I died.
Am I opinion on this?
And a lot of times they just want me to look at them and be like, Hey, you know, could
you give me your critique and tell me what I could work on or tell me, you know, how
would you think of my posing and things like that?
So I enjoy that.
I like that.
I think it's cool.
And I appreciate, I feel like I got a lot of help from people that I knew around me that spent time that were pros and people like that
So I feel like I want to give back and you know, that's the main reason I went there. I didn't go there
Like I said, I was competing it was my first time watching a show and it was just a kind of mingle and did anybody really impress you and he
Physiques on the stage that really kind of stood out. Well, I mean my buddy who won the show
He he looked phenomenal. His his conditioning James James stood out. Well, I mean, my buddy who won the show, um, he, uh, he looked phenomenal. Can his conditioning James, James Hurst?
Oh, okay.
Yeah, obey the bolt.
I mean, I've been watching him.
He looked impressive.
Yeah, this is, uh, I mean, man, he's, I mean, I asked him, I forgot what it was to.
I said, man, how many shows you done now?
And he's like, I want to say like 30 something.
I'm sure he's done a lot.
Yeah, dude. So he's a monster I wanna say like 30 something shall I. Wow, wow, he's done a lot. He's done a lot. Yeah, dude, so he's a monster.
Like he has been, and for the last, like,
I think like four years, you just boom, boom, boom,
show up to show up to show.
So, and, you know, each time he's making a subtle improvement
and that's, it's hard to do that.
When you get, one of the things I'm struggling with right now
since I, it's not my only thing that I do
that I do so many other things that, you know,
going to Vegas this last weekend and here I am in like middle
of prep mode, you want you to get to the professional level,
there's not a lot of room for air and setbacks.
I mean, you in order to keep progressing the body when you
get to that level, when you're talking about all of us are,
you know, getting on stage at 2%, 3% body fat and pretty damn symmetrical.
It's hard to show them judges each time to get up there, I'm a better me this time.
I'm a better me.
And they look for that.
They want to see progression and I feel like they reward people for it, which is also
why I think he won the show.
I think that he's continued to progress this physique.
He had extremely great aesthetics.
He's got great stage presidents.
Super happy to see him won.
I thought he did phenomenal.
I have other, I think there's so many different body types.
So it's hard to judge.
Was there any guys, like you ever see those memes?
Where there's like one guy that's like, oh, white.
Yeah, like why the hell did he show him work out?
Like, does that even happen in real life?
Oh, that's not just like,
at the amateur level, absolutely.
Absolutely, at the amateur level, it's very common.
Yeah, there's always that guy at the amateur level.
And that girl.
And that girl.
And that girl, and that girl, and that girl,
there's always somebody who does something
that like, obviously didn't read the fucking instructions.
Which didn't, like didn't read, didn't,
he's up there and is under where? No, like, literally, you seem people like, come out with their shoes. I didn't read, didn't, he's up there to the end of the world.
No, like, little you seem people like come out with their,
like come on, marathon runner or something like that.
You're like, what are you doing?
Really?
Don't you know, is everyone's barefoot, bro?
You know, I suppose I have a good one.
So you see random things like that, or like a girl who comes out
and she's like wearing like, she's like the standard heel
for girls in bikini, or like the clear, like stripper-looking
heels, you know, and then some girl comes out with like,
colored heels, or something different, you know, like, so there's always or the bathing suit that's not like you. Yeah. Or or what you see a lot with the amateur level with athletes is, you know,
they're you get this coaching right. So a lot of times coaches, I find this this is pretty funny to me. So coaches are always trying to tell their athletes,
you know, you gotta own the stage.
You know, it's like you're modeling,
you're working the stage and so you gotta have your own flair
and personality when you come there.
And it's kind of fun to watch some people
put their flair in.
It was a extra flair.
Yeah, a little extra flair.
Like some rick flair out there.
Some serious rick flair out there.
So at the amateur level, you see a lot of that.
The pro level, not so much.
The pro level, so much the pro level
I feel the most talked about
Stuff is the politics and that and that there was some shit that went down. It gets you know
Are you able to talk about it? I don't like to get too much into that shit because you know
You're talking about it's the league that I'm involved in I don't want wanna get black, so I'll try to be as politically correct as I am.
Or maybe just as vague as I am.
Yeah, I'll be as neutral as I possibly can,
but so, when you go, you have a show like this,
and once again, like I said,
all these pros, all the pros look phenomenal.
So it's a very of subjectible sport with who is judging you.
I mean, and the judges are all with,
they're not the same 10 judges every single time,
and depending if you're in Sacramento or LA or in New York or, you know, you tend to have clicks and you
have people that dominate that area.
So for, you know, like Sacramento, FBF happens to be like the strong, one of the strongest
teams that are, say, they're Sacramento-based.
Normally, at a Sacramento show, they bring 40, 50 athletes that show.
That's a team.
And teams are typically tight as in revenue.
Yeah, so that becomes one of the most controversial things is that,
okay, well of course this person won or whatever they're tied to that and that.
But I have to say that one of the guys who I expected to be top three
didn't even place top five
and he's tied into Sacramento area.
So that was pretty wild to see that.
And that was probably one of the biggest shock ever.
So, if you're as a spectator,
you're like, that guy's got the best physique.
And it's like, you know, he doesn't even get placed.
I think that happens what?
I think that's what any sport that's judged by people.
Yeah.
Like if you're in an arm wrestling competition, someone wins, someone loses.
Yeah, it's obvious.
It's obvious.
Yeah, there's no.
But when you're on, you know, your figure skater, your gymnast, or, you know, your,
your, your physique or bodybuilder, you know, competitor, how many Olympias work on
traversal?
Because, you know, when Dorene 8's Taurus bicep and he won all Olympias were controversial? Because, you know, when Doran Yates tore his bicep
and he won all Olympias though, yeah.
Just last two were, I mean, they always are.
There's always controversy and it's like, you know,
is it, do you want bigger?
Do you want leaner?
Well, this makes me ask a question.
This, I got a question for you then,
because do you, now that you're,
we're on this podcast, people listening to it,
it's growing, do you think that will hurt or help you
in competitions?
Probably because it sounds like a double-estor.
Yeah, it's kind of a catch-22 because of our podcast.
Now, if our podcast was like,
we talk about all the positive things,
we're all this, we're just square bears in the ship.
That's not us.
Yeah, since we talk a lot of shit,
it calls me square bears.
Yeah, since we talk a lot of shit, it calls me square, but. Yeah, since we talk a lot of shit, we're pretty raw.
I don't know if it really has,
because you gotta, it probably hurts me to be honest with you.
I don't give a fuck though.
That's you know.
You know what the problem is,
the problem is we enjoy that.
I know.
I mean, come on, you guys should have that.
I know.
We love to hate Adam as it was created a long time ago,
and there's a reason for it.
That's just that it's been my personality forever.
It's most certainly, I don't give a shit what they think of me or what I thought. I mean, I would hope
that they would respect what I do and I would get love for that, but at the same time too, if I'm not
plugging and I'm not playing the political games, stuff like that, then maybe I'm not their favorite
athlete or whatever, whatever, you know. but yeah, it's it's hard to say
I guess we'll really see when I start cranking out a few I plan to hop in a show real soon here. So when I do
You know, we'll see if I get last place
We that would be a sign
I won't bring a last place for Zick. I'll tell you that right now. So are we gonna are we gonna be loud backstage? Oh, I did no you guys can't come back
This no, do you guys to have even if we got the where you're standing? Well, you guys can
come I'm a lot. I'm a lot. I'm a lot. I'm allowed one person who
forget or who fixes my drawers and then one person who tans me up so
which one do you want to do? I'm on the drawers. I'll do that. Yeah, I'll do
the tanning. Okay. Okay, you actually have to touch him, I get it. Yeah, yeah.
I'll write my name on your back, no,
but you won't even know.
They'll turn around and be like,
you sit down with a big dog.
I'll say,
Sal, the staff know.
I'll say Sal's bitch.
Damn it.
Damn it.
What is it like backstage?
That's always trick me out.
Like, what's happening back there?
You know, my, my hair,
you're all pumping up.
Yeah, the first, the first show,
it's very, very high five,
the guy like back there, you know, without any clothes up. Yeah, the first show, it's very high five, the guy,
like, back there, you know, without any clothes on.
Uh, because that's with no hands.
I mean, first of all, we're not, that means something.
We're never naked, okay.
The only time we're naked is if you happen to go to a place,
like I told you my first experience of spray tanning.
Yeah, I thought you said that.
That doesn't happen.
That doesn't happen.
Yeah, that did happen.
But it doesn't happen all the time.
I happen to use a.
Only if you're lucky. Yeah. Yeah, that did happen. But it doesn't happen all the time. I happen to use a- Only if you're lucky.
Yeah.
Oh, that's a difference.
Here's the one, because it's such a fast growing sport,
just like any company or business that we've all been
a part of like that, it's got a lot of growing pain.
So there's a lot of, you know, each show,
every venue I go to, I feel like different promoters
do a better job of putting it on and expediting it.
So, you know, you go to a show, like different promoters do a better job of putting it on and expediting it.
So you know, you go to a show, it's your first time backstage is very nerve wracking and
weird because there's so much going on it so fast and you're not sure when you're going
to get on stage and you're trying to time everything.
This is the food nutrient water game leading up to getting on stage, the peak, the peaking
your body at that right moment from a pump standpoint and nutritionally. I mean, there's, to me, there's a very much so I'm
trying to be scientific about it. And it's tough to be scientific when you have no idea
when you're going to get there. And there's been times I've been backstage and they're
like, oh, what? So I didn't even know. So you're, you're back there and you're, you're
like, I could go up in 20 minutes. Oh, yeah. Open an hour and 20 minutes. Oh, even worse.
How the fuck do you pump up for that? Even worse. There's been times where I'm gonna be on stage at 11 a.m. so I'm like, okay, doing the math on my meals, okay, I want three meals in me. I want X amount of carbs.
I want this much water by this time so that I got my full
muscle bellies and then I'm gonna get right before I hit stage,
five minutes before I get my nice pump and boom, I'm gonna
look great, right? Well, I never plays that like that.
Oh.
Normally, they're like an hour or two hours behind and when you
get back to the stage, you're gonna be like,
oh, I'm gonna be on stage.
I'm gonna be on stage. I'm gonna be on stage. I'm gonna be on boom, I'm gonna look great, right? Well, I never plays that like that.
Oh.
Normally, they're like an hour, two hours behind.
And when you get back there,
it's like there's always some, you know,
somebody fuck something up, you know, up there.
And it's normally an athlete who forgets his number,
it doesn't do this or whatever that.
And it causes everything to get pushed back.
And then these guys are in the room
and you're just like, stand around, you're waiting, you know?
And for someone like me and everyone's different, right?
So, and I know athletes can relate,
some athletes can relate to me,
some are like, don't know what the fuck I'm talking about.
But I flatten out really fast.
My metabolism's so fast that, you know,
I could eat, you know, four or 500 calories real quick,
load up 75 grams of carbohydrates, boom,
fill out, look great.
And then all of a sudden, 30 minutes later,
it's starting to come
out. It's time for me to feed back again. So trying to time that sometimes is a bitch.
I still to this day do not think I have even come close to bringing the best looking me on stage.
Like I don't think the judges have ever seen my physique the way I've looked sometimes at
just a normal day after a workout after eating right and having the right amount of water in a great
pump. Like it's just, it's very difficult to, after eating, right, and having the right amount of water and a great pump.
Like, it's just, it's very difficult to time that.
What kind of equipment is backstage for nothing?
They don't give you anything to pump up with.
Nothing, you bring bands or anything.
You bring bands or in some places, okay, some places,
I should say, do have some stuff laying around,
but very rarely, you can't expect that you normally want to bring
some really light dumbbells or some bands for yourself and get pumped up.
It's not like what we see, like if you watch like a pumping iron or a limpia, like when you get to the
Olympia stage, when you get to that level, you know, they normally have like a nice little section
It's like a little tiny little mini gym and they're ready and kind of get a little pump up
But it's very it's very small room and there's no way like wonder it sucks too because if you're the first guy in there
He goes and grabs the the right the way that maybe you want to use the one bar there or whatever you know
I'm saying so it's uh, are people dicks in the back? No, I know I and I've talked about this before this sport
And all the sports that I've played it. I know Craig goes. He's been a shaper call in the support fuck you Craig for listening
So, you know, it's just to have it.
I just have it a call in a sport and I know it doesn't take this.
It's a different type of athleticism that it takes, I guess.
But you know, it is the only sport I've ever, I've ever competed in where I feel like there's just, there's a lot of love.
You know, a lot of guys are like...
Loving each other.
Well, not like that. I feel like that a lot of love. You know, a lot of guys are like loving each other. Well, not like that.
I feel like that a lot of rubbing and it's just it's it's something that it's a journey.
It's a journey you go on all by yourself. You are you're even though you're competing
against others, you're really with you, bro, you're really competing against yourselves.
And there's there's, you know, you get this respect for every guy because you
know that he went through whether he looks great or not or if you whether he physically feel like you're
depleted you feel like totally well actually when you hit stage you're not that everyone's right because
you you've been low fit yeah you've been you've been loading for two days so I mean I'm pretty good
energy wise I a little dehydrated so I thirsty for sure and but I'm pretty good energy wise. I'm a little dehydrated, so I'm thirsty for sure.
And but I'm most of the most part guys back there.
It's, it's, you know, and some guys are nervous, you know,
to get out there.
The first, and I'll tell you the first time I got on stage,
and I'm not a guy who gets nervous.
I got no problem public speaking and doing things at that.
But showcasing my physics a little bit different.
As much as I put on this facade that I'm like, you know,
this self indulge weiner, I put on this facade that I'm like, you know, this self-indulge weiner,
I'm really not this guy who's like,
I'm not really into all that, you know,
that's not my thing.
You're just a weiner, but you're not the self-indulge.
No, just a weiner, that's all.
So it's, you know, it's a little different.
It's not, I'm not, I've never thought of myself
as a model or even considered myself like that.
So, you know, to get out, and considered myself like that. So you know to get it
And some guys love that they just eat that up. They just can't
Never just can't wait to show all their angles and they do all their facial expressions and they're you know and like for me
Personally, I think I'm there's the same ones and I'm like highlights in the hair and show the yeah
There's I mean, and let's be honest. I mean, so the guy who I thought would win it all
You know, he took second two James and he's a he's a recent he's a new pro and he's just he's just gorgeous
I mean he's got the he's got the all-American look and he'll yield for sure be it sooner later
Yeah, that's a good. That's a good thing. I'm glad you brought that up does candy. Yeah does so obviously the looking at your physique
But does your face make a difference?
No one is going to say this, okay?
This is what's great about mind pump.
You can come here and I'll tell you the truth.
No one's going to say this.
I remember you telling me this.
But and the judges obviously can't.
If you go back after a show and you're like lost
and you're like, hey, what can I work on?
Right?
And they're gonna be like, don't be so ugly.
Stop being fogly, McGee.
Yeah, they're gonna tell you the other stuff, right?
But I'm going to just just tell you what, if you're fucking ugly, you're going to have
a rough time in this sport.
I mean, let's just be honest.
It's not, I mean, and why that is, and you're a fool to think otherwise, you know, because
you're like, oh, it's a fair, it's about our physique.
It's like, no, bro, it's about how you look all together, the whole package, because
these ultimately
These these athletes are being sold to companies that are gonna rep and this these people are gonna represent them
You're there they're there can be ugly and self-supplement
Yeah, you keep in the face of a men's health magazine and nobody wants to fuck you
That's just not how you're not a men's health is not gonna put you on there if they can't sell any medicine
So in other words if you want to be a champion fizzy competitor, you have to look,
you have to, some people have to want to fuck you.
You can't be a butter face.
Well, have to is a very strong word.
And I would never want to say that in the tour you have,
if you're going fuck, I'm ugly.
I shouldn't even start one.
I shouldn't even work out.
You know, well, I mean, someone wants to fuck you.
Yeah, yeah.
But like if you, if you're ugly and you want to like,
improve, like, yeah, there's one a better way than to get a to like and there's a proof like yeah, there's a better way than to get a
Gris and there's a lot of there's a lot of ways that you know you can
You know you can make yourself look better and stuff like that like paint and this is you know
Hey, it's like a beauty pageant, bro
I mean if you go up there with sloppy hair
You're not taking care of the way your if your hair cuts not and I think this matters too. So all these things add up
so if you have, like I totally think of a buddy of mine
who, I mean, here we are in our mid 30s
and he has the same haircut he had when we were in high school.
You know, it's like, bro.
I am town dare he.
It's like, no, bull cut, bro.
You know, like it's, you know, it's just like,
they tend to, once again, you think from a marketing standpoint,
you're gonna to want someone
who's hip and trendy.
What are the latest dues?
What are the latest haircuts and styles and looks and how you represent it all the way
down from the styles of your shorts.
So if you're rocking some brand like No Fear, which was cool back in the late 90s, you know,
I'm saying for a board shorts, you're got to.
You know, I'm saying so like, Jenko Jenko.
So I love to see you go on stage with some Jenko's. You guys laugh, but this? So like Jen go Jen. Yeah. So I know this you go on stage with some
jankos. You guys laugh with these. I think this is really good information that a lot of people don't
get a chance to tell these athletes is that hey you guys should you should look in a shudder.
You should look in a shudder. Yeah, you should get into what are the hottest trends and hips is from
hairstyles to the look and the fit and you. And I think it's something that you should think about.
You know, you asked earlier about,
do I think like, well, mind pump hurt,
you know, how I get placed, I don't know.
But I do think like my Instagram and my social media
and how I represent myself, like, you know,
I try and have to look like the old guy,
you know, I'm the older guy in my 30s and so like that.
So I gotta try and fucking stay young and hip.
But I know.
It's a, well, I mean,
do you think, don't go rock in the Bieber haircut or something
Well, I mean that would do well actually it wouldn't do well for me because I don't I don't have very much hair
But I mean first away and that's probably definitely one of my my weakest points
I believe is one of my weakest points is for sure
My hairstyle and then I'm actually gonna I'll bring a new every time I brought a new hairstyle
So I'll bring a new hairstyle again this this time for sure
You can't you be like a trend setter and like come in with a mullet or something well you do really well now
You can absolutely you got it and you got to own that shit. I mean there's there's a lot of
Part in the back. I think you can get some some good credit if you if you pull it off
I think I'm not sure a mullet would be a great way to trim instead of trying to know a reverse mull hawk
Yeah, I think I'm not sure a mullet will be a great way to trend instead of trend or reverse mull hawk. Yeah, I think.
Yeah. But it's just a liner in the zone.
So do it.
Do it.
Do it. Do it.
Doing something that you can be a trend setter, but you got to own it, man. You're going
to do something different like that. You get to own it. And some guys are really good
to they're really some guys are great at their fit. Like so one of my pet peeves talking
about being a spectator that I just
kills me when I see this.
So once again, let me put it out there that I, okay, so for someone who's gonna talk shit
after I say this, I think of myself as the worst pro or worst posing pro, okay.
So I already, I know this is one of my, I'm not the strong one, because I don't put a
lot of focus there.
I put a lot on building my physique and that's like my last thing I focus on to
get better at my posing and I'm always trying to get better at it. So that being said,
um, and one thing I try and do is I try and stay true to myself, which is I get on stage.
I present my physique, how I would present my physique, but what's very common and very
trendy now is these guys, let's take somebody like a Jeremy, Jeremy Bundia, who's Mr. Olympia
from this last year. He has kind of like Jeremy, Jeremy Bindiya, who's Mr. Olympia from the last year,
he has kind of like this move when he hits his...
Oh he flurs his hand.
Yeah, well, just he has like a little flicker
with his hands and Johnny Sebastian has his little,
his side pose that he turns and he hits that.
So guys have, and Steve Cook has his look and you have...
I'd be doing guns.
Yeah, and Sidique his his kind of pose and they all have there they all have their like
You know, they're swag that they bring to the stage which is cool because it's theirs
They they kind of created that that swag and then but then what happens if you do like a whip or something like
So then what happens is you get all these athletes that are trying to mimic that and it looks terrible because you're trying to be, it looks like you're trying to be them, which is you're better off, you know, taking what you, what you can from other professionals and pose. Well, when you're 5-5, okay, and I'm fucking 6-3, the way we showcase our physiques are not
going to be the same, and it's not going to present the same way.
So for me to try and hold my body and my posture the same way you to show the best angles and
looks for me is not the same as this little guy.
And I think that's a big mistake how a lot of coaches make is they kind of coach one way and it's like this is how but really it's it's learning each
each individual's strengths so you're always trying to highlight your strengths when you're
on stage and you're trying to hide your weaknesses. You don't want if you have a terrible side
or maybe you have a certain body part of yours that's lagging you know you're trying to
disguise that. Yeah andate for that. Yeah.
And not a lot of guys get that.
And I find it a little comical when I'm watching.
And I can always tell when a kid gets out there
and he's doing his poses, like, who we, who we think
too much hands is looking just as he was a big fan of,
is like, okay, he loves this guy, you know.
Well, when you're, when you decide which competition
you're gonna do, I guess we can announce it here, right?
What do you think?
We let the listeners know that some support will pump it up come support Adam and if he doesn't win
Just fucking tear the play support. We'll lie like Canadian hockey fans. We'll bum rush. Yeah, we'll destroy everything
I have to say that would probably that would be awesome if we got that big to where we can actually influence enough of crowd
Right, you have like bad news and shit all terrestriots off
We could actually influence enough of a crowd where I have like bad news and shit. Oh, it sure hurts off.
Yeah.
Swing him over.
They think you just show a fat and the judges will make you win because they'll be afraid
for the light.
You want me to relax on stage about they're doing positive and people are on their
shoulders.
Some girls are flashing their titties while I'm doing it.
That's throwing it.
Throwing their bras and panties.
I mean, I'm saying that's fucking.
You want to be a trend center that would be different.
Nobody's doing that right there.
Yeah, so making it take a note.
So when Adam's competing, Titi flashes.
We'll help him.
We'll help relax him on stage and make him pump.
She's still getting the zone.
Throw me your panties.
Titi.
