If you want to pump your body and expand your mind, there's only one place to go. MIND, MIND, MIND, MIND, MIND, MIND, with your hosts. Salta Stefano, Adam Schaefer, and Justin Andrews. In this episode of Mind Pump, Adam, Justin and I have a fun conversation for the first 40 minutes of this episode. 40 this time, whew! Here's what we talk about in the intro. We talk about the changes on Facebook. Find out why Zuckerberg fucked all of his shareholders

out of some money. Uh-oh. We talk about the Twitter revelations. Are your dick picks safe on Twitter? You care for what you're tweeting. Then we talk about privacy and the dangers of government. Is Sal chicken little. Left unchecked. Sky is fully.

And we talk about my cacao bliss mousse. I can't. It looks good. Talk about this dessert that I made with the Organifi cacao bliss. Now, Organifi is one of our sponsors. If you go to OrganifiShop.com and enter the code MindPump without a space, you'll get a huge discount. We also talk about the benefits of your body running on ketones.

Is it overrated? ketones give you the bones. Then we, I don't know. Then we talk about the importance of switching up. He's got a lot of organs. That's clever too. Of switching up your diet. Why is it important to switch up your diet sometimes?

We tell you in the intro. Then we get into the questions. The first question was, when we talk about eating keto-ish, what does that look like in a day? Like what does Adam eat throughout the day? What do I eat throughout the day? And what about the pizzas and burgers, Justin eats? It's a real world.

What's the ish in my bish? Then the next question is, you beat me on that. We always talk about phasing training styles. What if somebody decided to do four weeks of only body weight training? Would you be a pussy? Is that a good idea? I did it for years. Is it a bad idea?

How would we implement it? Go buy maps anywhere. Next question. What do we think is the most needed or what is the most lacking in the fitness industry? Pretty much more mindful. Is it booty picks? Is it before and after?

No. Is it integrity? Find out in this episode. Final question, this individual's working with a client who's got low muscle mass and just really wants to improve their weak immune system. Should they be thrown into a hypertrophy-based program or should they be thrown into a maximal strength? Yeah, crossfit training.

That probably sounds good. Fight out of Justin recommends crossfit, yes. The answer sounds obvious. Perfect fit. Because it sounds obvious. Perfect fit. Because it is obvious. Also, this month, we're giving away something extremely valuable. Oh, tell them, Sal. We have t-shirts. God, they're good.

Made by MindPump. Let me tell you something about these t-shirts. I've gotten messages from people who have increased the one rep max. I had a guy who fell off of his roof. The shirt protected him from any injury. I actually had somebody. I hope people don't try that out. I had somebody else had a crush on a girl.

She never paid attention to him. He put the shirt on. Of course, he had no pants or underwear on. She totally noticed him. He probably had a shirt. Might be because of the shirt. Now, check this out. All of that was bullshit, but you will get a free t-shirt if you enroll

in any of our bundles. Now, our most popular bundle by far is our maps, Super Bundle. What is that you ask? Let me tell you, it's one year of exercise program. I heard the mask. That means the entire year of 2018, and a little bit of 2019,

because you're fucking waiting too long, is mapped out and planned out for all your workouts all your exercises. They change every phase last anywhere between two to four weeks So it changes every single time and then every two to four months the entire program changes It's super awesome videos instructional Basically everything you'll ever need to get into shape besides maybe some gym equipment. We're talking to you procrastinator. Now if you're interested in enrolling this program because you're awesome the place to do it is mindpump media.com. Man you guys see what's going on Facebook right now dude super super interesting.

This is going to flip a lot of shit. I mean, it's going to piss off a lot of fucking people. I have personally met quite a few people that make a ton of money through Facebook advertising right now. Right. So mainly the companies are going to get pissed about this news. Oh yeah, I mean, that's why you saw the huge drop in the stock. So what you get explain what happens, though. So Zuckerberg apparently came out and said that he is going to though. So Zuckerberg apparently came out and said that he is going to reduce the amount of ads and news in your news feed so that there's more room for your people, for your friends post. Because he talked to these people. Well, that's how it started, man. We have four advertising hit Facebook. Everybody loved it because you could, you know, check out

what all your friends are doing in. When you popped open your feed, you could see where it goes out. Dude, when I go on Facebook, I like to see what people say a little bit, but I mostly go on because I belong to a lot of groups. I like to see the news. I use it like that. So I don't know if that's necessarily good. I'm on both sides there.

Okay, so I, one of the things I don't like about all the Facebook advertising in there, like it's been for the last year or two, is I don't, like if I don't actively go to my sister's page or my mom's page, they won't even pop up. And anyway, this goes for Instagram too. They don't even pop up at my feet. So, and really easily I can get consumed

with our business and what we're doing. And then also, and I'll notice I'll go to their page individually and see like, oh, shit, they've posted three or four things and I missed it and I didn't see it. And you know, when it's family and really, really close friends of mine, sometimes I feel like, fuck, I wish I would have known that or that popped up so I could feel like I'm interacting with their lives on a more regular basis. So I, as a consumer, I feel, that's how I feel about that. Now on the business side, we are literally just now

starting to make our way into Facebook advertising. The ironic part. Yeah, so the irony of this is like, there's also a side of me that's the angry business owner right now that says, fuck, but I also know- Well, that's a lesson. It's already much of my- It is that, and I posted an article on my Instagram

for people to read that wanted to read deeper into this topic. And if you man, if you're a business and you've leveraged that hard on Facebook, fucking not very smart. I know counting on another company. This has always been all your eggs in one thing. Our fear of this and this is why we're spread out over all over so many platforms is,

you know, if YouTube all sudden shut down one day, this business should have options. If podcasting shut down all sudden one day, we still have options. Like, they're still. Well, I know personally, people who know other people who went from making no joke millions a year, straight straight through Facebook, through Facebook ads and that kind of stuff, went from making millions a year, and straight through Facebook through Facebook ads and that kind of stuff Mm-hmm went from making millions a year and then Facebook changes because this is what they do overnight They changed algorithm. Yeah, they change how they you know like just mastered it bro, and then they just Over and I over night would go from millions to like tens of thousands. Yeah overnight They have a lot of power what they do and this is true for Instagram

Twitter Facebook all the social media platforms, they do some shady shit in that particular sense. Like if you have a political position or an opinion that isn't one that they necessarily like, you'll all of a sudden stop appearing in people's news feeds and there's lots of evidence to prove this. Lots of stuff to show this. In fact, Twitter didn't Twitter just some guy come out, I think I shared it with you guys. All the stuff, yeah. Just see that? A ton of people.

Yeah. They had a ton of video and audio of employees for Twitter talking about how they have at least 300 to 400 people dedicated to going through our private inboxes and DMs and stuff and seeing what types of things that we're talking about. So they can sell off those analytics. So they can say, oh, these guys are the x percentage of people that are tweeting or tweeting these types of topics. So they were just, they were referencing how often they see dick pics and all kinds of

crazy stuff. You think, I wonder if, I don't know, I wonder if there's going to be a backlash to all social media because all the stuff that keeps coming out. Because I know for a fact that when you post certain things, I do and I don't, because I think there's two types of people that feel this way, and I think we're probably all a little bit different on this. I'm not the privacy thing for me. You know, if you're gonna send your dick across

fucking the web like that, you're already rolling the dice as it is. And so I've already told myself, like whatever I put in there, like it's not guaranteed, just because it says it's gonna be a private message or a DM. I don't think there,

it would change my patterns. Like just because I know that there's probably 300 guys at Twitter that might be looking at my private messages. I don't have anything to hide that much. Well, think about it, which changed my usage. Think about it this way, because there's that, right? Some people are like, I don't want you to see my private messages, but I understand somebody does.

Well, no, there's a lot of people like that. I don't want you to see my private stuff, but that's not what I'm scared of. That I could give a shit about if some dude, some fucking dork in an office is jerking off to my pictures or whatever. I'm not worried about that. Here's what I'm worried about.

What I'm worried about is, let's say you are just unaware and you're sending information to friends, messages, memes, conversations, and let's be honest, in private, if everything you ever said or did, in private with friends was recorded and then taken out of context. Even if it's not taken out of context, we say shit in private, we would never say in public. Everybody fucking does.

If you're shaking your head and saying, no, you don't, you're full of shit, everybody does. It's just the human nature. Now imagine you, let's say you're some, you know, 27 year old kid and you're doing this, and then now you're 40, and you're fucking developed this incredible company, it's growing, it's competing now with the same social network,

and they go back and they're like, let's fuck with this guy, we've got all this shit on our... Blackmail is that. Not just blackmail, release it, or let's say you run for, put it in put bloffice or let's say you're a corporation Or let's say you're okay, but let's talk about that some scary shit Yeah, I don't you know what's the percentage? You know what's the percentage of people that that would truly affect and then then I have a the other side to that

So here's the way I look at it being somebody who we are in the public eye So I'm somebody who already gets scrutinized like that. I've always tried to be that person. It's like, you know what, you're right, off air. But in my private DMs, you'll probably find some fucking dick pics, you'll probably find some racist shit, you'll probably find some sexist shit, because I find all that shit fucking funny.

And that's who I am. And I'm not afraid to admit that that's the person I am. But I feel that way when you talk about sexist and racist stuff, I feel about my own race and my own sex. So it's not, I equally find all of it amusing and funny. That's you, right. But I think that's, I think it's going to force more people like us that are in the public eye will have to admit and talk and share about that.

Oh yeah, we, we, we, if you deny it or you act all perfect, and then it gets out there. Okay, well, let me go back. Let me take, let me give you another example. This one I think you'll have a problem with. You have to be all the way across the world. Here's an issue I think you will have a problem with. Okay, tell me.

You're going to make a business deal. You're talking in private with another person. Your competitor sees that shit, jumps on it and you're fuck. Every possible scenario you can think of where someone has an advantage over you because they know private conversations you have with people will can and will happen because humans are on the other side of this and humans are not infallible humans are not these perfect altruistic you know fucking angels they're they're people all this shit can happen

well when you when you say that to me it just, it just adds a layer to the game or the business. Like it just adds another layer that you have to be cautious of. The business is evolved over the last hundred years we've been doing business anyways. This would be just a new wrinkle in the whole process that if I'm talking business, let's say I'm sharing, like you're saying,

let's use your example, but let's be more detailed about it where this could fuck me, right? So let's say we're maybe we're talking about a business deal that we're about to do. We're going to acquire a company or we're about to take on a big sponsorship from somebody and we're sharing our analytics, our numbers and how much we're willing to

spend or pay on something and our competitor sees that or gets that information because it's someone made it public or whatever. And now they undercut us somehow we lose a deal over that Well shame on me for fucking giving something like that over Twitter like to me like It's not just Twitter. It's I mean we're our private Instagram and DM I mean if I'm gonna share information like that, but it's not just social media This is happening with all their things get hacked to like you remember that you can't you can't

Yeah, dude It's you guys remember that whole... You can't, you can't put it all through. Dude, you guys remember that one site that everybody goes to cheat and adultery, or whatever, that got hacked. Yeah, and it exposed all these assholes on there, and it's like, what are you getting into? You man, it even gets hacked. I think there's two conversations.

One conversation is, do we think that the ball is rolling and we can stop and reverse it? That's a different conversation from the negative effects that are going to happen from it. I personally don't think there's a way that we can reverse out of it. I do think the market will provide some solutions. For example, Bitcoin was a solution to being able to trace everything I do with my money. Tor, what is it called? Where you can go through these different servers. That was an answer to people spying on you and whatever. So I think there's going to be market solutions to where people really want to be private. Exactly. I think

100% is not agreeing you. That's what I love where we're at right now. I think that a company that probably doesn't even exist right now, that will be their pitch. We are 100% private. We guarantee our walls are protected. Nobody will hack us. Nobody will be sharing or looking at you. Oh, for sure. Yeah, you be notified right away.

Somebody from Twitter is going through your shit. Like you're gonna know. Well, for sure, I 100% think there's gonna be market solutions for it. I do think this will and can, unless these, because Twitter stock fucking plummeted, I do think that these kind of revelations are gonna damage these social media networks,

and it only takes one scary situation to do that, but- The question you to ask yourself, though, just a company like Twitter or Facebook, get hurt more by the information like this coming out and maybe losing people when what they're doing by spying all this is they're providing analytics to companies that they can then turn around

and convert into dollars. So it's like, sure, we come out, this people find out about this, our stock drops lose you know a few million or even a billion dollars or whatever But we still now can use the all the analytics that we have I think it depends on how People are the what I've noticed so far is that people don't give a shit They pretend like they do but they really don't like here's the thing that I'm worried about more not I don't care if private companies do that especially when I know what I'm doing about more than not. I don't care if private companies do that, especially when I know what I'm doing. So they're not searching things

that they're not supposed to have access to. Like it would be scary if Twitter hacked my phone and went through my messages. Of course. But if I'm messaging through Twitter and they look through my shit and it's on their platform, okay, I kind of expect it a little bit. And or I'm not super scared because they can't

throw me in jail, they can't kill me, they can't legislate against me. I'm scared when the government does it because the government can and will do all of those things. And we know for a fact there are laws that now say it is perfectly legal for the government to read your shit, search your shit, track you, spy on you without any due process. It used to be the law, it used to be that, if they wanted to do that, they had to go to a court, ask a judge, get due process, now they can follow you,

now they can listen to you, now they want, now they do mass collection of all this data. Bottom line is that. Nobody really fucking cares, which is really stupid. That's really dumb, because if you have an opinion that is different, if you start to make some noise, if you whatever, and by the way, there's a lot of history to prove this. We just had Martin Luther King Day, right?

It was the other day. A lot of people don't know this. This is 100% true. This is not conspiracy theory. The FBI followed and spied on him for a long time and they recorded him having affairs on his wife. He was an adulterer and they black they tried to blackmail him. They said if you don't stop what you're doing we're gonna show everybody that you're cheating on your wife.

They thought they had some on them and little did they know he wasn't gonna stop. Of course he told his wife and that was terrible but he he kept doing what he was doing. FBI did this on multiple celebrities, and that was back when we had laws saying, you can't really do this. So that's what really scares me is when the government does it, but private companies, you know, don't you think your own life in your hands? Things like that, and we're seeing it happen right now

with Hillary and Trump, and they make you creating that document that was fake just so FBI could tap FBI could tap all hit Trump tower and all that bullshit I mean things get exposed now. It's too hard to I Don't fear the government like that because I feel like we have enough people in place to get after that And if you if you if they don't like you This is what they can do. I'm not saying that this is what they do do or whatever, but this is definitely what they can do, because it's all, if you look up the NDA,

National Defense Authorization Act in that act, which I believe has, they, you know, some people have really tried to oppose it in Congress. Rand Paul is one of them, just in a mash is another one. It says in there and it's been extended. He just filibuster that he's talked about filibustering, warrantless surveillance and all that stuff. But in NDAA it literally says you can be jailed indefinitely without due process. So not only can they spy on you, but now they can take you ask to lock you up without any questions.

Throw you in a hole, not even tell your family, not tell anybody, and there is no due process. And this has been law for almost two decades now, all because, and but see, that's the thing, people are aware of this, nobody gives a shit because why? I tell you what, if you went to, people don't give a shit because why I tell you what if you if you went to People don't give a shit because the people know that they fall in the 95% no I think 95% of the people will not be affected by

Trust me trust me if there's ever a situation Give a fuck about you or me. Yeah, if there's ever situation nobody's fucking throwing us in with no due process If there's ever a situation where people experience that kind of tyranny, then they'll realize we have made a grave mistake. But because nobody experiences everything's cool. That's what I mean. That's what I'm saying that they because they don't they're the 95% the 5% that this really are present. This really affects are the people that probably oppose it. Man, I mean, if you are in politics or if you are somebody that this could affect directly i'm sure i would be out there picketing and doing everything to be because i'd be scared of death at this level and which is the majority i believe

it doesn't really affect them as much and so that's not something that they're just no fear like uh... another example is that you're right if it's started if they if i think i like to think that our our government as much as i'm not a fan of big government is not like a big monster and they're out to just like. Well, I hate to tell you, dude, but the evidence unfortunately is not in, it doesn't support that.

The evidence supports that we've experimented on. This is all stuff, by the way, that's been confirmed. So I'm not even conspiracy-thering anything. I'm talking about actual confirm shit that we've done. We've infected black prisoners with syphilis just to see what would happen. Many of them died. We've imprisoned people because we felt like it. We've sold cocaine and drugs and crack to raise money to give to rebel groups and other

countries that we don't like so that it's off the books. We've sprayed poison into the air and then come out and talked about it afterwards just to see what would happen. We've done a lot of shit that's been actually confirmed and even apologize about, even the Tuskegee experiments. We, our government came out and said, hey, sorry, we did that. That's all confirmed shit. So no no the record is not in favor of this, you know, awesome thing The record is actually in the opposite which is why it's extremely important

We keep that shit in check like always always air on the side of Yeah, but that should just you just named off like how long ago did this happen? You're talking about 20 30 years. So what well? Do you do you think it's getting worse or better? I think I don't think it's getting worse. Well, I think I could argue So I think in injecting African American African American men inside prison with a with fucking syphilis is fucking crazy And I don't think that would ever get away. No one would ever get away with that I definitely got away with that. Today, they got away with that. I definitely don't think the government

could fund a huge operation. Last time it happened when we came to the same thing too. Yeah, okay, so over 40 years ago, bro. So I don't think that that type of shit is happening. Now, I think there's all kinds of fucking conspiracy these theories that you subscribe to and that you love to read about. But I do not, I don't believe that it's worse today

than it was then. Of course, of course, the access to information is so much greater now, which is in our benefit and also like, it's a different playing field. Here's the thing, it's scary to think about it, it's scary to admit it.

So most people are like you Adam, they wanna be in a cloud of happiness and rainbows and no, no, no, it's so different back then No way people would ever do anything like that now, but I guarantee you 40 years from today We're gonna look back and be like holy fuck there will always did that share will always be corrupt people There will always be evil I will it's the reason why to check it. It's why I will always need some sort of a defense system I I agree I agree that there will always be bad people. I'm not saying that and I don't live in a world

of just rainbows, but I do think I do have belief in our, in humanity and that we're in a better place right now and that we've created things to help try and protect or stop those things. Now does that mean it's going to stop it completely? No, I don't think you ever will. But I definitely think being scared about those situations, that's chicken little shit.

No, it's not about being scared. No, this guy is falling, this guy is falling. It's not about being scared, it's about being wise. And the wisdom is in always limiting and checking those powers because you know what can happen if the wrong person gets their hands on the power. Right, I believe that we, so it's not a chicken little thing,

it's literally do not give those things to anybody. To be scared of it is a chicken little thing. No. So what you're saying is, it's because I'm not scared of any, because you're not scared, we should give the power to certain. No, no, you can't put a spit on it

because I'm not scared also, and I'm pro at it. No, it doesn't mean that. It just means that I don't think it's as scary as some people make it out to be. I don't think that the market that we're in right now things will be put in place that will create to help protect those. Those are what's happening.

I think we're always striving for that. I do think that because of the internet and transparency, I think it's harder. I think that doesn't mean it won't change and they can't modify. I think definitely sitting at home with a Tim Foil hat on and being scared is not a great way to live. But I do think it's wise to look at history

and not fool ourselves and think that those same things can happen again today because we feel like all of a sudden there's people have changed, and it's all, I think it's very smart. I don't know, I think when I moved to Apple World in 10 years, I think I'll be just fine. I subscribe to that theory still.

I think these monster companies are trying to build a better ecosystem for us. I think that's really where we're heading, and it's gonna be interesting. And I know that we've kind of discussed this off off-air and I know your theory is if government will allow it. It's going to be interesting to see the next 10 years with some of these massive tech companies that are literally growing to become more powerful than our government. It's going to be really fucking interesting to see what that looks like.

They also have motives of their own too, so you know, there's always that. I'm not afraid of them as long as they don't have the power to throw some jail or write laws. Yeah, yeah, I don't then I'm fine. Because as long as I know, I'm for that. That's truly dollars right now. That's their mission. If I know I have a choice and it's voluntary, then I don't care. You know what I'm saying? So Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, spying on your messages and all that shit.

Well, if they can't hurt you with that stuff and if they can't, and if you have a choice, if you're choosing to use those things, then that I'm okay with that. You know what I'm saying? It would be like, it's like a private business who looks at, if you walk into a private business, if I walk into a private business

and they look at me and they say, nah man, you're Italian. I don't want you in, you don't like Italian people. I'm gonna be pissed off. I'm not gonna private business and they look at me and they say, nah man, you're Italian, I don't want you and you're not like Italian people. I'm gonna be pissed off, I'm not gonna fucking like it. I'm probably gonna boycott you and make a big deal about it, but that doesn't scare me like if the government did something like that, because they could lock me up, they could throw me

in jail, they could legislate against me. They have a whole military behind them too. Yeah, and they're private, let's take yours. So, Twitter is a private company. Theoretically, they own everything you do on there. Right. You sign that little waiver when you first sign up on it. Yeah, and you're volunteering. Nobody reads. There's all my shit. That four pages. We own it now. The four pages. Literally, whatever it says. Yeah, it does. It says whatever content you put on there. It's for it's there. That's why I don't really get upset about something like this,

because I'm like, well, I'm handing it to them. Yeah, we I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know.

I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know.

I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't is what's probably really scary if I'm somebody who was built up this million followers on Instagram and that's like, I monetize that and that's the way I make it. Oh, overnight you go to zero. Yeah, I'd be scared to death. Amazon is another one, by the way, but when we were talking to our friend and myself, yeah, he was telling us how if Amazon wants to,

if they change something in algorithm, if they want to, if they penalize you for something, you go from selling tons of product to now, nobody sees you when they go on Amazon to search your product. I think you just have to be conscious that whatever's written or posted on a social media thing will live forever.

Like you just have to have that mentality going forward. Yeah, right, if you're gonna put it in there, that it doesn't matter. Like what, yeah, you just have to have that mentality going forward. Yeah, right. If you're going to put it in there, that it doesn't matter. Like what? Yeah, you just have to be responsible and check yourself. And then, you know, obviously we need to watch these fucking big companies and whatever. We were lucky to grow up in a time where none of our stupid. We have to worry about that. Yeah. You know, I mean, I saw, where was it? I saw there was a. A lot of lucky we were before and we're during, right?

So we had we had we understand it enough to use it to our benefit, right? To build a business around, right? Or use it to help catapult a business. But there's an opportunity, there's another site to that. There's a darker site. There was this site, I don't remember what it was. It was this music festival, and there was this site where people were taking pictures of,

you know, kids were taking pictures of each other, doing crazy shit, throwing up, cause they're too drunk, making out with random people or whatever. And I read this article how a lot of these kids got in trouble because of this, and I remember thinking to myself, like, wow, that's there forever. You rip in your top off and then puking everywhere. Like, it's not that that shit didn't happen

when we were kids. That shit's been happening forever. It's never got captured. Think of all the bad things if you're in the girls gone wild video. And you're always on camera. Like you didn't even, you signed some waiver. Oh, there was some real that happened for some of those. Oh my god, I feel so bad for them.

You were like, oh, it was just drunk. And you know, like, now I'm trying to get like a job. Think of all the times you hung out with your buddies and you know, shit went down or you someone did something stupid and you're just like, think God, nobody like that. There was no pictures or you know what I'm saying? I think what it's going to do is I think it's just going to show people that everybody has this dark side to them. I think, I think exactly. That's why I'm agree. That's okay. Why I'm okay with admitting, everybody's, I think, I think exactly, that's why I'm okay, why I'm okay with admitting it,

because it's like, I've never met anybody, it doesn't get some fucking dark secret or some bullshit, it's like, I've always said, I don't trust the people that are like Ned Flanders, that will probably, I don't trust those both fuckers. No, I agree, and, cause I think now, they can even, I believe,

they can look up all your porn searches even. So imagine when that shit comes. I know you're most worried about that. You don't know what he brings out when out there. Well, you know, it gets really weird. You know, it's funny. I have zero, like I'm, I have no problem. So there's nothing I'm ever afraid of, but I'm thinking about all the people.

I'm thinking about all the people that will literally lose their shit with something like that. So I never even, I never even looked at porn hub Until I met you like I never yeah, so so Katrina I'm now I'm obsessed. Yeah, I feel you coach No, I'm not on there not much anymore, but I you know I have been on there because I'm fascinated by especially after talking to our marketing team and then being like you know Watch what porn does porn is always on the cutting edge of how they market and they do things Oh, yeah, they experiment there first right they Porn's always on the cutting edge of how they market and they do things and they can't share the experiment there first. Right, they do.

So watching it like that is pretty, I'm, and this is a door to me, right? So I'm on a porn site, but I'm very fascinated by like the views on certain things, like the titles. Yeah, like the titles. And then like, holy shit. Right, there's like 40 million people

that wanna see, you know, why stepmother, mother get fucked by their son-in-law. And then like only outrageous right there's like 40 million people that want us want to see You know one stepmother mother get fucked by their son-in-law like I can't help but watch it. You know say that. Well, let's see where this comes Insist is trending right now. Whoa. It just it fascinates me. This is the only probably only dude looking at porn house You're the only, probably the only dude, looking at porn hubs, not just. You know, I feel kind of like a loser for that, but I, you're throwing their shit off, dude. I'm going around looking at all the titles

and seeing what they're, what people are searching. I'm just super fascinating about it. Yeah, no, it's totally shifting gears and off topic, but I just was on your Insta story this morning. What was that whipped cream thing you made last night? Oh, dude. What was that? Yummy, super, super night? Oh, dude. What was that? Yummy, super super super chocolate.

Cocowhip thing, what did you do? So I take a can of full, I've done this before, but I've never done it with the Organifi Kecal Bliss. Because that shit, I know you mentioned it last time about mixing it in milk, so this is probably what you gave me this idea. So the Kecal Bliss is now becoming one of my favorite Organifi products because it's fucking chocolate.

It's got no sugar in it though, and it tastes incredible, and cacao has health benefits and there's some other ingredients in it. So it's actually kind of a healthy treat that you can make with cacao bliss. I've made my kids chocolate milk with it, not literally just a scoop of it and chocolate in milk, blend it and give it to them, they love it.

And then one thing that I used to do in the past is I would take full fat coconut milk in the can. You have to buy in the can because that's when you get the real deal, like fat from the coconut milk. So I get that, I put it in the fridge so it gets cold. And what happens naturally in the fridge is the, the liquid separates from the fat.

And the fat gets kind of hard. I scoop out the fat and I throw that in like a blender and then I add a little bit of the liquid that's left in the can. It's usually guar gum or something else that gives it this kind of... It's like guar gum. It doesn't sound like a guar gum. Yeah, well I was going to see guar at a warp tour, hopefully. Yeah. I was gonna see Guar at a work tour, hopefully. Yeah, hilarious. So I pour some of that in there because otherwise

it's way too thick. And I just add the cacao powder. You can add protein powder on top of it or fruit or what I do is I did the cacao powder and a little bit extra stevia. And then I blended it and it's really, really creamy, thick. It's not like ice cream, it's the different consistency, but it's like pure coconut fat with...

It's like moose. Kind of, but super, super creamy and thick. It's not like one serving of the cow. One serving. One serving for, no, let me think, if I did a full can, I did two scoops, almost two scoops, like one and a half scoops. And it's pure coconut fat.

So if you're keto or if you're looking for, if you're keto or low carbon, you want something that's going to give you a lot of energy because coconut fat, something like 60% medium-chain triglycerides, make that, it's a lot of calories. So it's all fat. So I made like three servings from it and it's a small amount is all you need. Like you eat a little bit of that and you're like whoa, that was plenty. Super good though.

Was it really good? It looked really good. Dude, it's super, super good. So I'll probably be having that. Yeah, a couple of times a week now. I'm trying to stay really, really low carb right now so that'll be a great little, and I have a sweet tooth. So doing stuff like that, I really enjoy tips like that

whenever somebody shares with me. I'll tell you, one of the benefits of switching your macros is just paying attention to the benefits you get from different macro breakdowns. And I'll tell you, I haven't gone like really hardcore ketogenic in a long time because I felt like I was time to get out of it, meet some carbs and stuff stuff, and get some

of my benefits. I'm feeling, man. Bro, this is gonna sound funny, but I feel like my vision is better. Is it? Yeah. Wow. How weird is that?

That's interesting. Like I feel like my vision is more clear. And so I'm not sure if that's a thing, I'm gonna look that up. And not sure if it's because my brain is operating better, I do feel more of a steady, smooth focus energy. From Keto, that's different. Is it true that, I mean, your brain operates

a little more effectively, I feel of ketones, or is it just that you're switching up, you know, the fuel source? It's a cleaner energy. Yeah. So people with dementia and Alzheimer's, whose brains obviously, it's dementia and Alzheimer's, who's brains obviously, it's like running on tech raw.

Have a tough time using energy. When they put them on a ketogenic diet, this is a clinical application, we'll have an improvement in cognitive function. It's just a cleaner burning fuel. It's very clean. The mitochondria like using it doesn't create as much waste.

Now the drawbacks are athletic performance. You're not gonna perform as great with explosive movements. Yeah. It may be, there may be some negative issues if people have thyroid issues or other things. I think over time, if you stay ketosis for straight too long, it's just simulating starvation for too long and you'll start to notice muscle wasting, which is what I'll notice if you stay ketosis for straight too long, it's just simulating starvation

for too long and you'll start to notice muscle wasting, which is what I'll notice if I stay out for a long time. But otherwise, man, going into it and getting that like focus feeling and stuff, it's pretty in like anti-inflammatory, it's pretty cool. I don't know, what are you noticing from it? Because you're still doing it right at them. Yeah, no, I'm actually even looking up at what we have coming ahead on these questions. I'm like, oh, this is a perfect transition in the first question because it pertains

to exactly what we're talking about right now. And I, you know, I am not, I'm not like following the ketogenic diet to a diet or to a T. So it's something that when we say stuff like that, I feel like first of all, one, I hate that we name fucking diets, like in that there are all these categories. It's like what I love is like learning about the things that when I change, especially when I drastically changed the way I'm eating

is trying to connect the dots. And every time is a learning experience with me, I notice I'm really, you know, it's funny. You've mentioned just on the show, I think on the last episode or two, you mentioned talking about my sleep. And I wasn't even really paying attention to that. I was looking at all these other markers that I really wasn't even paying attention to if my sleep had improved. So I was actively kind of thinking about it last night before I went to bed. And man, I'm falling right

a sleep for me. And that's not normal. It's not normal for me to just, and consistently, right? So it's not one night. It's not two nights. When I look back, since I've gone keto or keto-ish the last four or five nights, I've gotten incredible sleep. I'm sleeping hard. And yeah, just from the fast, I've noticed the same things as far as sleep is concerned

and also waking up, like with energy again without coffee and I You know before that I was really having to I had like a window of like five ten minutes You know, I'm like I gotta get my coffee and run to get it Whereas now it's like I could go and I've done this actually to kind of stretch it out a little bit more To get my first cup of coffee till So like, you know, hour, maybe, you know, hour later. Is this because we are, we're getting into a sympathetic state at a faster rate and then also our blood sugar is probably low. I mean, I'm assuming if I'm going really low carbohydrate,

all fat that I'm probably jumping into a sympathetic state much easier and then I'm probably also lower blood sugar. And I would think the two of those probably are what's contributing the most to them, the deep quik sleep. You know, it could be balancing out how your cortisol response is happening. It could be the reduction in inflammation.

It could be a lot of different things. I can see why eating this way, why some people get so religious about it. Yeah. Because if you're somebody that does well on a ketogenic diet, when you switch over, when that process happens, where- It's substantial, when you switch.

Yeah, when that process happens where, my body now switching from, cause that can kinda be rough for some people, but if you're somebody that benefits from it, it can feel like a miracle. It can feel like, wow, I'm a completely different person. Now, here's what I've noticed. And I am somebody who does very well eating this way.

What I noticed is when I did it for a long time, when I stayed out for too long, I started the benefit started to diminish. I started identifying that my body needed a change. And that's the important thing to understand here because what works for your body now is not 100% not guaranteed to work for your body tomorrow. It's just the way it works, things change, your body adapts, your body may develop new intolerances, you may have different

requirements. This is how I feel about the fasting. This is how I feel, I feel like the people that, oh, you know, that wanna say they fast and they fast almost every day. They do like a 17 hour like fast every single day. I think that after you've been doing that for a certain amount of time, and I don't know what that is, and I'm sure that it's different for every single human being.

Yeah, for sure. But I do believe that at one point, your body gets really efficient at eating that way, and then the major health benefits that you probably got the first time you did it are nowhere near the same as what you are now. And so I would argue that it's probably more beneficial to eat on a more regular basis

and then intermittently throwing these 24 or 48 hour fast to really shock you. I'm gonna have to really, yeah, I'm gonna have to, like using it as a disruptor, you know, to kind of come in and then challenge, challenge me basically to kind of stretch, you know, my metabolic efficiency and like make sure that like, okay, now I'm going to run on a different process here. And so this is like kind of that moment where now I can recalibrate and I can focus, you

know, on something else and then come back. And eventually I end up doing a similar routine down the road, but it's like, this is a great way to interrupt that. You know what, I completely agree because even if we're looking under the context of evolution, which a lot of this, that backs up a lot of the why fasting is good for us and why eating a particular way is good for us because our bodies evolved that way,

or at least we believe that for the most part, it makes sense that if we were fasting as people through evolution, we weren't fasting every day to a particular, like it wasn't like we didn't eat till 3 pm every day. What was probably more likely was we had food and we ate it whenever we wanted to. And then oh fuck, we have no food.

So we're gonna have to go without food for a few days or whatever. And that happened intermittently in that particular sense, not necessarily super scheduled or whatever. So I have to agree, I think I've done intermittent fasting on a regular basis where I, you know, every day, I don't eat until, you know, at two o'clock or until six or seven p.m.

I used to do it till six or seven p.m. every day, and I got great benefits, and then I started to notice. They trail off. Well, I started to notice some negative, actually. Almost like I was burning myself out. I was too much of a sympathetic. I did the same thing. Response all day long.

And recently, we just did the, I just did the 72 hour fast. Amazing, I feel fucking amazing from it. And so I'm just gonna, I think what I'm gonna do is kind of listen to my body, sometimes not eat during the day, sometimes eat during the day, you know, sometimes keto this and that. But I'm gonna use, utilize these longer fast,

not regularly, but semi regularly, where I throw them in every once in a while, because I'll tell you what dude, my, how's your digestion after you're fast? Oh, the disease. If you're on fast, my poops are awesome. Fucking ridiculous, right?

Yeah, yeah. Yeah, I'm like, I get like excited. And it recalibrates my hunger. Yeah. Like, I don't crave anything that, you know, it's easy. It's almost like it's making, it makes everything easy. And I hate to say that because I know people listening are gonna be like, oh cool,

I wanna start off my diet with a fast. I don't think you should use it that way. I'm just observing how I feel. And I do feel like, you know, you could put foods in front of me right now and it's not, it's so much easier to resist. And I know it's the fast. I know it's because I fast it for 72 hours.

We put reserves on all this stuff all the time, but it's like, if you have a healthy relationship with food to begin with, that's where we start. Right. Whenever we can do to build you to that point where you look at food in a healthy way, now we have the opportunity to do some experimenting. This is just like one of those things,

you self-experiment, and you do it in a measured way, and you use it like that. Totally. For the health benefits. Adam, are you gonna go until you feel like you need a change or do you have a schedule? Yeah, no, that's exactly what I'll do. I have no set date like when I will transition in or out

or what I plan to do right now. I'm just, I'm kind of, what I'm enjoying is I, I notice this that every time I either go keto or I diet really hard, is I notice that my body, all of a sudden, I'm thinking about salads and fruits and vegetables, like that, I don't get that normally. Like I don't have these days where I'm like,

you know what, I can't wait to get home and just have a big old thing of Brussels sprouts, right? I just can't wait to have a bowl of berries, you know? Like those things, I don't normally desire those things until I actually fast or go on a restricted diet like we just what we're kind of on right now. And I love that. I love that. And it's similar to what you're saying where, you know, if someone threw like a burger or a food that maybe I would really like on a regular right now, like that would, it makes my stomach uneasy

just thinking about it. And what sounds really good is something light and easy that my body would really enjoy. I feel that way right now. And what sounds really good is something light and easy that my body would really enjoy. I feel that way right now and what my goal is to try and keep that feeling for as long as I can. So I've been, I mean, I've been really low calorie yesterday. You know, we had, what do we have for, oh, she brought me the Katrina, brought me the eggs, bacon, and avocado for breakfast. And then all I had for dinner was

bison, sweet potato and green beans. And I had a very small four to six ounce serving of sweet potato with the bison. What are your carbs roughly? I know there's no targets, but you're under 100. Oh absolutely, yeah. And I'm under 100. I'm probably even under 50 right now on some days. So, but I can also tell too I'm a little tired. So I know I'm under a hundred. I'm probably even under 50 right now on some days.

But I can also tell too, I'm a little tired, so I know I'm under fed, I can feel that. But I'm just because of calories. Yeah, but I'm not moving. So that's what I'm doing. I know I'm stepping less than two thousand steps a day. This thing is killing me right now. So I can't go for a walk.

I can't do anything with this boot because the walk is killing my back because it's shifting my hips. How's your pain in your foot since doing this? Did it affect that at all? What do you mean? You're Achilles. Did the pain go down from the fast in the keto? God, you know what?

It's hard. I know it's killing the whole time. I would hate. Yeah, I would hate to draw that conclusion. I 100% feel better right now, but and the inflammation is down also, but I'm also two week over two weeks now, three weeks into this injury. And I've been in a boot now for over a week. So I probably attribute more of that to that being protected like I am now that.

I mean, I so at nighttime sometimes I'll, I mean, I take it off and I know the doctor wouldn't be happy to hear this, but I take it off and I got to kind of hobble to the bathroom, like in the middle of the night, I'm going to fucking strap the boot up at three o'clock, three times, right? And it doesn't take much of me walking around on it for it to start to swell up again. So it's definitely, there's a lot of damage still there that I'm dealing with.

And I know that the boot protects it more than anything right now. And so I wouldn't, I wouldn't try and draw that correlation without being able to study that better. I'm saying that. Interesting. Doug, bring on the bird. Shhh! Shhh!

We call him, man. We call him, man. We call him, man. We call him, man. We call him, man. We call him, man. Today's Quas being brought to you by Kain Maricopi. It's the only coffee that is infused with all natural neutropics for a cleaner,

When you guys talk about eating ketoish, what would a day of eating look like for each of you? Yeah, this is a good question right now, especially right? Right, because what we're in. Keto, I mean, that was what I was explaining, right? This was a great transition in this question, because we were on that right now, we're talking about that right now,

and then you probably just got your answer from what Sal asked me as far as I'm going. I'm more like Paleo-ish. Yeah, I'm sorry, I'm not answering that. Yeah, yeah. So, all right, I'll tell you yesterday was a higher calorie day for me. Just happened to be that way. In the morning, I had a very small portion of lamb. So we like to make lamb chops.

So I had one, I don't know what it's called, one chop, one, you know, the little drumstick looking thing. So I had one of those and I ate four egg yolks and I ate a small bowl of broccoli that we had baked the night before. Then later on in the day I had probably, I would say maybe maybe two ounces of macadamia nuts. I had probably, I would say maybe two ounces of macadamia nuts. I had a can of sardines. I had an avocado with olive oil on it. And I had some more broccoli.

And then for dinner, we had my girlfriend made incredible dinner. She made Ratatouille. You ever have Ratatouille? Ratatouille. So it's like Ratatouille? Ratatouille. So it's like this vegetable soup. Now watch the movie. Yeah.

It's sorry, I've never had it before. Really fucking good. It looks good. Really good. There's eggplant and zucchini and tomato in there. So I had a bowl of Ratatouille. I had string beans with pecans. Then she took a soul, so type of fish,

and she breaded it with coconut flour, and then in a pan with butter, kind of cooked it in a pan with butter, and put this like butter, lemon, sauce on it, whatever, so I had fish. And then later on, after that, I had the coconut, you know, fat dessert that you were talking about,

that we talked about earlier with the cacao bliss. Today is probably gonna be a lower calorie day, and all I've had this morning was, I had my chimeric coffee, and I put a tablespoon of coconut oil, a tablespoon of butter in it, and I put the, again, the organified cacao bliss in there. And I'm probably not gonna eat again till probably 3 PM.

And at 3, I'm again, likely gonna have some, we have lamb, that's left over, so I'll have some lamb, I'll have some string beans, and then not sure what I'll have for dinner. But that's kind of what, how it follows for me, is where I tend to prioritize fat. I'll make sure to eat at least 100 grams of protein, although I'm not necessarily counting.

It's probably a hundred to, I'd say, a hundred, probably averaging between 100 to 130 grams a day. And then carbohydrates, whatever I get in the form of vegetables, and it's usually non-star-chey vegetable. So I'm not gonna have any potato or anything like that. What are you doing? So like, let's see, yesterday I had a spinach salad with olive oil and like a balsamic with chicken

and I also had it with like goat cheese. And so, and walnuts, or yeah, those walnuts, yeah, those walnuts. I don't know. I don't know. There's a couple of different kinds of nuts that I'll use occasionally just to throw that in there. And then for dinner, we had this cool dish that Courtney is getting a lot of recipes from more of these paleo kind of options. And so we used some cauliflower rice.

And so we used that in a bowl with shredded chicken and she actually put like guacamole on top with like this kind of a red tomato onion sort of medley that made it taste somewhat kind of Mexican, but it was just Mediterranean, it sounds like. Or is that okay, I have no idea. But it was really good. And rice cauliflower helps you portion of that.

So yeah, so I mean, it's like I said, it's kind of a little more on the paleo issue. Are you guys purposely avoiding grains and waste? Yes, that's really our goal with this is to kind of like steer in more in that direction What do you do with the kids could do they eat that because that sounds delicious, but it sounds like something My oldest does which is great. He's like we you know We've it's taken a long time, but he's kind of come on board with the way that we eat my young guest is still like we make

We actually did a cauliflower pizza with him. He'll eat that and so add like pepperoni and cheese and like kind of like a regular kind of standard pizza with him. But and then he'll eat carrots and a little bit of broccoli, but you know, that's about as far as we get with him. But yeah, my oldest, he's very receptive to it, which is great. I think the point of why we use the word keto-ish is that none of us subscribe to any one diet like of or away of eating. I think that's why when I reference, we're following something keto.

I say keto-ish because I think that people will recognize the types of foods that I'm eating, probably fall mostly under keto, but I'm also not, you know, following the protocol for keto diet where, oh, God, I don't, I gotta make sure I stay under 50 grams of carbs in case it kicks me out of ketosis for a minute. Like, no, I'm not really fucking worried about that. I'm more targeting really high fats of trying to avoid most carbs the most parts, especially starchy ones like Sal saying. And but if I mean, if Katrina made two two meals tomorrow that both of them had sweet potato in it,

like I'll eat it. Regardless of it puts me out of ketosis for fucking three hours. You know what I'm saying? I'm not hung up on that. I know and I know my body digest that really well and it agrees with me really well. So what I'm trying to do is stay away from all the things that my body, I know isn't good for my body like the diet, sodas, or French fries, or bullshit like that that I know that I shouldn't have in there, and I know it doesn't affect me well. So for me, it's more like that.

And do you guys digest fats better than, let's say carbs or doesn't it you do? I don't know. I've felt, yeah, for me personally, like, yeah, I don't, I tended just to naturally steer kind of low car, but like, yeah, I just, I feel better. The digestion better. That's in protein, yeah. Yeah, weird because I know something, no, here's a thing, by the way, with keto diet.

I know a lot of people that will try to eat that way, and they can't, it fucks up their digestion. Either you'll give somebody a bulletproof coffee or something that's high fat Yeah, and it gives them the bathroom. It gives them the shit This is me if I go to extreme keto. Yeah, so I I was asking I've already figured this out that You know my stomach is a little uneasy when I go really high especially where the fats come from so if I'm getting it from oils butter Sources like that not so well. I do find with high fat meats, but that's still like a protein, right? So, but if it's a pure fat, I have to be very careful on how much I consume at one time.

I do much better with a more pay the O.S. type of strategy. I'm just staying. I just use ketoish. It's probably more pay the O.ask. I don't give a fuck about the name. I know. I'm not even close to keto. I like to call it shaferish. Right. You're eating shaferish. Eat shaferish.

I see it's good to know that. You need to identify that with yourself if you plan on eating a particular way because I've gotten messages from people who are like, oh, I'm eating keto and either I can't poop and I haven't pooped for four days or I have upset stomach or I feel terrible and it's like, yo man, your body's telling you

that you're going too far, too hard, yeah. Back off of that, yeah. Now me, I'll use myself as an example, I've no joke. Okay, here's for 100%, sometimes I'll make this. I'll make myself some coffee and in the coffee, I will put two tablespoons of coconut oil, one tablespoon of butter and one or two tablespoons of MCT oil. Oh, that would fuck my stomach up.

You just slamming that fat. You know what? I'm on the toilet five minutes. Dude, I don't know if I can do that. I can consume a hundred grams of fats in a serving, no problem, no effect on my digestus. I need to pay paired with something. What's so ever. But that's me, you know what I'm saying?

Like I've identified that. I mean, now if I eat a hundred grams of carbs all at once, depending on where they come from, that can destroy me. And a hundred grams of carbs at once is not that much. No, it's not. But I've identified that in myself. And so it's important you know this. So that you can grease really well with me.

I could put down easily 80 to 100 grams of carbs, and especially if they're coming from a good source. If it's a good source of carbohydrates for me, my body totally agrees with that. No, if I push carbs all at once, which I've done before, I'm like, oh man, it kills me. And so my body seems to be better at metabolizing or breaking down fats, but that's me.

You know what I mean? So that's important. I think that's important. I think that's what people have to take away from this is that we're all so uniquely different. This is why I don't think anybody should subscribe to one diet just because that one diet that you're following has shown you all these great results. Don't stop there.

Don't stop there. Dive deeper into what it is. What is it about the diet that makes you feel this way and get closer to connecting those dots and build your own type of... Don't marry it. Yes. Don't. Because at some point,

I'm not gonna feel good. It's not gonna work for you. And then you're, because you won't get sex anymore. Yeah. Next question is from Alex Schwartz. We always talk about phasing training styles. Thoughts on four weeks of only body weight training. Awesome idea. Oh, can I tell you something right now? Awesome. I love doing that. I actually don't talk

enough about body weight training and its benefits. And again, it doesn't mean you should always train body weight. If you want to, that's fine too, because there's a lot of benefits from weights, but we talk about the benefits of weights a lot on the show. I think a cycle of only body weight training, of practicing, you know, and here's a problem with body weight training. A lot of people think air squats, pushups, you know,

pull ups, like they think of basic stuff. Man, you get your hands on some dip bars, some rings, you practice, get intensified. You practice handstands and stuff like that, and you get good at that kind of stuff over a four week period. You are gonna be fucking solid and strong when you go back to the weight.

Here's what I appreciate about body weight training. I just appreciate the fact that, like, what you can, when you are in the weight room and you're lifting weights, like a lot of times you're not like super responsive with like what your body's trying to communicate to you. So I can't listen all the time because I'm trying to move the weight. So you know, body weight training allows that opportunity to really like get in tune with how everything is inner working, how you're feeling through all these intricate movements.

It just, like Southside, you can intensify it, so it's not like you have this weaning workout that you're working with. You can really do a lot with bodyweight training to where you're building this different type of a strength that you're it's more of that sort of gymnastic, like CNS-type training kind of straight. It builds body awareness in a totally different way. It's also probably one of the easiest, safest ways to figure out how you can or should be pushing yourself, right? Like I feel like the

challenge with some people, especially somebody who's a beginner into barbell lifting is, you know, I think the one of the most common questions I've ever been asked from clients when they just get started into it is, well, how much weight do I do? Or how much should I push? Like what's hard, what's not hard? Should I be struggling to get that up? And like they just, they're at forum breaking down, there's a lot more risk involved where learning how to control your own body weight is an incredible way, one, to start somebody.

So learning how to control that first, if you can control your body weight really well, you're probably ready for you to start to progress by adding a bunch more weight on the barbell. So I think it's great for that. I also think it's a great way to cycle out of training with barbell. So this is for the advanced loading.

Yeah, it's a great way to de-load. A lot of times I'll do this when I just know I've been hammering the weights for a while. I've broke through a few plateaus and I've been just increasing my volume each time, month over month type of deal. And now I'm finally getting to that point where it's like, okay, I'm kind of maxed out.

I'm working out five to seven days. I'm hitting these long times. Like you're pressuring the hinges. Right, exactly. Yeah. So like I get into that and that's kind of my mentality. Like, okay, I feel like these like little signs that like these aches and pains that are starting to come out.

That's where I like really think about like, wow, maybe I should do, maybe I should go through a cycle of bodyweight training. And also, what's so great about it is it fortifies the joints. So now I can focus on really supporting the joints better, which will then improve me going back to the weight. Yeah, the thing with some of the challenges

with bodyweight training is it's not as easily versatile as using weights. You've got to be a little bit more creative. It can require more skill to do like a hands hand pushup versus an overhead press for a lot of people. Obviously getting upside down and balancing on your hands can be hard. Machines are obviously very easy to use.

You just get in there. So those are some of the challenges, but the positives are, I'll tell you, I did body weight only training for a period of, wasn't a whole long time, but it positives are, I mean, I'll tell you, I did body weight only training for a period of, wasn't a whole long time, but it was about, I wanna say about three months. Justin did it for a year. I did it for a year.

I know you did it for an entire, so I did it for about three months. I did it while I was training Jiu-Jitsu, and I just, I don't know what exactly motivated me to do this. I think I was reading old training, old fighter training. So when you read like the old judokas, the old wrestlers, boxers, back in the day,

everything they did was body weight. There wasn't any, they didn't use weights at all. And so I thought, you know, let's be kind of cool to try this out. And so I started just doing body weight training. Now here's what I noticed. I had a different kind of control over my body. I felt very aware of my body in space, which came very much in handy in Jujitsu. I felt strong

and stable when I was in positions or when I was gripping someone or when they were on top of me. Now, you're a prison strong. Yeah, here well, here are the downsides. Closer butchists. I did notice, that's terrible. Hey man, I'm just, you know, that's prison strong. Saying the obvious, I did, I was thinking. I did notice a reduction in, you know, maximal strength generation and power. I did notice some muscle loss from doing it. So,

I don't think you should just do one or just do the other. I think they have incredible benefits that you can benefit each other. And, you know, if you've been lifting weights for a long time, look, we have maps anywhere. It's one of our programs that's included in our Super Bundle. I recommend everybody in between cycling one of the maps programs. If you, so standard way that we typically recommend people follow the maps programs is maps and a ball, and this is different from person to person, but generally we recommend you start with maps and a ball, you go to MAPS performance, you do MAPS

aesthetic, and then you cycle them. With the super bundle, we really recommend, the best way I think to do it is go MAPS endabolic, MAPS performance, MAPS anywhere, MAPS aesthetic, or MAPS endabolic, MAPS anywhere, MAPS performance, MAPS aesthetic, depending on where you're at. Injecting that body weight only training in between your programs, tremendous benefits.

Better than if you didn't do that at all. It's a huge benefit. I wanna hear, now just, you did it for a year. I did. Yeah. And so, and this was an experiment, self-experiment, where I had barbell trains forever. Like, and this was like coming off of years of intense barbell training for

football and explosive type, power lifts and all that kind of stuff. So I just had never really ventured into gymnastics style training. And somebody actually, I've tried to forget when it was, but I think I was introduced to this gymnastic coach who actually kind of changed my mind as far as like put me on some rings and then got me to do some rolls and handstands and things like that. And so this is when CrossFit was just kind of surfacing, but the emphasis, like he was actually teaching this to some of the CrossFit boxes at the time. And so I just got interested in it

and felt the effects of when I started just using the rings for dips and then along comes TRX and along comes like a lot of these suspension trainers. And so I just was like, wow, I see potential in a movement happening in this direction. And so for me in my business mind, I was thinking, wow, this will set me apart from other trainers because, you know, this is something kind of new wave. And, and of course, you see how popular like TRX and all these things came in with, with, you

know, CrossFit, even at the time CrossFit, they didn't wanna accept the gymnastic part of it because they were very much like, very macho and like competitive about, destroying themselves. So they didn't wanna put in the work because gymnastics requires a lot of skill, work, and time. Practice.

So I realized that and the coach reiterated that to me about like the skill of each one of these movements. And so I just was like, well, I'm going to take a lot of time with this. And so just became this process of, I'm learning, you know, how to get in a hollow body position. I'm learning how to, you know, get like skin the cat and do these types of moves where I'm going upside down and I'm stretching and I'm building range of motion I've never had before in my shoulder and being able to control all this movement and communicate that through my core all the way down to my toes.

It was just enlightening to me and I enjoyed it. And so I just got further and further with it and to where I could do like muscle ups and stuff like that. And I didn't get to a point where I was trying to walk around on my hands and all that kind of stuff. I did like handstand pushups and I really tried to challenge myself and graduate my intensity with it, which there's a total protocol for that.

So I really did end up enjoying the process, but then really missed the barbells. You know, and so I was like, okay, that was great. But then, you know, let me come back to like my comfort zone. And coming back was like, holy shit, like everything was so stable in my lifts. My lifts, my mechanics were improved, you know, my shoulder pain I used to have that was inevitable after going through like maybe a cycle or two, just vanished. Well, so it was great. Next question is from Lauren Bergman. What do you think is the most needed or is lacking in the fitness industry?

Oh Jesus. Integrity. Yeah, nailed it. Easy. Integrity. You can almost say that though in every industry, right? Well, yeah, but fuck, man. Yeah, you're right, but fitness is just,

I mean, it's hard. I don't want to compare it to other industries because a lot of industries are fucked up. But when you have a situation where the majority of the information that you get from this industry that is informing you is false, there's a problem. And fitness, and you ask any trainer that's worth their, you know, their salt. You ask anybody who's been in this industry for more than 10 years,

you ask any fitness coach who works with athletes, ask them, you know, what percentage of the information that I get from muscle building websites, fat loss websites, magazines, media, you know, all the stuff that's sprayed out there. How much of it do you think is true? And how much of it do you think is just bullshit? And most people agree, most of it is bullshit. And that's the terrible thing about the fitness industry that I think needs to change.

I do see light at the end of the tunnel though. I do see, I believe we represent that. I believe that what we need, we need a bodybuilding.com that's not driven and motivated by supplements. And I really think that that will be our, our nemesis will be bodybuilding.com, the type of traffic that they get,

and they provide, they don't get me wrong, they provide some good information. I mean, they provide a ton of content, but I also think that it's heavily motivated by a supplement companies and the money they make through supplements and advertising. I think that the fitness industry really needs a place. I don't know if you guys saw the post I did last night with the NBA TNT team, the Kenny and Charles and Chad. And I asked people, it was really, I get some great DMs of like, who everyone thought each of us were, right?

So what did they say? So most people said, Doug was earning. I was Chuck, you were Shaq, and he was Kenny. I don't know, I don't know any of you. I'm Shaq, you're all right. And he was Kenny. I don't know, I don't know any of you. I'm Shaq. Yeah, so when the theory behind that is, you know, those that know that understand those guys, Ernie kind of runs the show. He actually scripts everything and writes everything down.

The organization, the guy who kind of controls the conversation, so that would, everyone said that, that seemed to be dug the most. Kenny is the one always coming up with like analytics and numbers and like, being that, that team to be dug the most. Kenny is the one always coming up with like, analytics and numbers and like, being that, and being, he talks, he speaks in certainties like Sal does. I can see that. Charles is probably the loudest and opinionated and talks, you know, just off the handle all the time

and stirs a lot of shit. And then Shaq, you know, to says the least, but then has these witty pros. Yeah. Yeah, I could see that. But anyways, my point of bringing them up is that, you know, I really think the fitness industry needs that. I really think that we're trying to feel that void of a place where every normal person

that's just wants to be healthier and wants to be a better version of themselves, can tune in and be entertained and educated at the same time. And I feel like you get that kind of formula from something like the group of guys up there, like they're, if you're really into basketball, you love their conversation because they debate a lot of good topics and they're, they're all very intelligent men that have been in the sport for a very long time. But they do this, they do it in a very unique way that we never really saw.

I think 20, 30 years ago, and it makes for great TV because it's entertaining. It's fuck, even if you're not a basketball fan, you listen to their conversation on TV is hilarious. And it's enjoyable. And I think that we don't have that. I think the fitness industry is so fucking stuffy. It's either super broke out. Super ego.

Right, it's either super broke out and fake and bad information and like superficial on one side. And then it's super nerdy. Boring is fucked fucking. I've read about what you're doing and you're wrong. Right, it's like, it's there's a, and I really want us to represent. I believe that we're working our way there.

We're not that huge to where everybody in fitness knows who Mind Pump is. I hope one day it becomes, it'll be become one of the main places that we traffic people through, but that it's a reliable source of information that you know that it ain't going to be fucking bullshit. You know that it's going to be a credible source because we've vetted it first. Meanwhile, you can be entertained and learn and at the same time have a good time. I feel like the industry, this industry lacks that.

You know, in the irony is of all of this, what? A lot of self-promotion there. What is needed and what's what you do? It's a lot of what is needed or lacking in the fitness industry is really controlled by the consumers. So that's the irony of all this.

Like, if you want more of something, you want less of something else. I'll give you something else that I stop liking it and sharing. That's it. Here's one thing I can't stand in the fitness industry. I can't stand it to the point where I don't think anybody can stand it. We have yet to do it,

but we continue to get pushed to do it. And that's before and after pictures. Can't stand them. Can not stand before and after pictures because you will not find one that's not doctored. You will not find one that represents the average person. Many of them are not just doctored, but they're complete bullshit.

And it's a shitty way of selling something like, hey, take my new pill because look at this guy who lost 50 pounds and now has a tan and a six pack I fucking hate it so much we have yet to do like before and after ad It's so superficial. We keep getting hammered by marketing teams We're like you guys need to put some before and after and we have them we have before and after I have lots of people who send us message Oh, we even get it from consumers, too. We tumors consumers want to see. That's right, and that's it. That's just it.

It makes it tough. It's right. It's like, in order for us to get our message out, we got to give consumers what they want. Otherwise, we don't have an audience. So a lot of what is needed and what is lacking, we control. So if you don't like the bullshit, if you don't like the flash in the pan,

if you don't like the terrible message, stop liking, stop sharing, stop giving them attention. They, if you don't pay attention to them, they dry out and disappear and what you pay attention to as what we get more of. So give that attention to things that you think are setting up and doing the right thing. And then you'll start to, you'll see the industry change overnight. If everybody went that direction today, collectively, which never would happen, but let's just say that happened, you would see the industry scramble and change overnight. Websites would change overnight information we presented overnight. So it is in our power to move in that direction. The problem is I think everybody has this, whether it be subconscious, or they actively know that they have this desire

for drama and bullshit, and all this, we like crap. It's weird. It's almost like it's built into people where we wanna see still. You still wanna see, you still wanna watch, you still wanna be entertained by, even if you know it's bullshit, even though if you don't subscribe to it,

there's still this thing that makes people want it. It's almost like, will it ever not exist? What's that show celebrity rehab? It would be like a legit rehab doctor or somebody that's managing somebody to success and doing all the right steps and all the right things. And then that show comes out, but everybody knows rehab just being being that how many people have you

guys heard talk shit about trash TV soap operas and MTV fucking shows and complain about it okay or a perfect example you guys were a part we were part of the of MTV when it started okay it was in our generation so I watched a lot as a kid my biggest complaint with it is that it's no longer music videos. It used to be as a kid. I enjoyed music videos. I love music and I love music videos and I love that. Every day I come home from school, I could turn on MTV

and I can see the latest songs being played. It's completely changed why? Because consumers are loving the trash. The fucking real world. How funny, fucking bullshit. How funny is it that, because I remember going through this and I'm more aware now as an adult But I remember getting pissed off at brands and companies for not giving me what I fucking want not realizing that There's not enough of me

I'm not like the majority. Yeah, like fucking TV you guys even play music anymore You fucking stupid companies just because they're not. Right, and you get angry about it, but it's not a bad business one. They're way smarter than you think you are. You know, they shift on it. They're following where the trends are where everybody is subscribing to. Yeah, the market is just simply a reflection of society.

Yeah, and that's the bottom line. Like if you don't want liquor stores on every corner of your neighborhood, you're people in your neighborhood and you stop buying alcohol. If you don't want the fitness industry to put out like shit and bullshit and fake stuff, then we just need to stop buying stuff. Yes, I'm following those people.

That's it. Right. Next up is Lorna Grace Fitness. I'm working with a client who's lean with low muscle mass and who primarily needs to improve her very weak immune system. Would you recommend a strength or hypertrophy based program initially? This is a good question because,

you know, as Doug's reading this, I'm thinking to myself, well, first off, I would recommend correctional exercises to start with. So neither pure strength or pure hypertrophy. It would be all correctional exercise because you're talking about some of low muscle mass Someone who's very who's got a weak immune system. I would go correctional exercise But let's say you've finished that part now. You've given them some stability. You've given them some

You know kind of a solid foundation Would I recommend you go into a pure strength training? course would I recommend you go into a pure strength training course? Probably not because I think they would need to continue to build more control in the eight to seven. This is a perfect candidate for what we just talked about for the maps anywhere. We just do or did we just discuss two questions ago, body weight training. What a great candidate? What a great candidate to start them first off of that before, because

they're going to build some strength. They're going to build some muscle by doing through in some unique tension based exercises where I'm really trying to ramp up that CNS response. And I know a lot of programs out there don't even address that. And so what does that even mean? Well, there's ways to build strength and in the communication chain and get even more response, more recruitment, which then will, that's like one foundational layer to then bring load into the mix. So now we bring load into the mix

and everything stabilized, everything is working at its highest capacity. Yeah, I think because on one hand, you can make the argument, well, you want to focus on maximal strength before you move into hypertrophy because it's going to... Yeah, but here's a problem. It's not going to tax your body as much and all that stuff. But here's a problem.

I would not trust a client like this with maximal low. No, no. When I see it, when I hear low muscle mass and weak immune system right away, caution. Like the caution flags go up for me that, sure, maybe, and I don't know, this person, this is where, you know, you as a trainer, you have to have the awareness to like, you know, I don't know, is this person 68 years old? You know, is this person 35?

And we're just saying that they have kind of a weak immune system and not a lot of muscle mass. and by low muscle lean muscle mass, is that person like a twig, like a hundred pounds or they, you know, you just think they're skinnier. Completely. Right. So there's a lot, there's a lot of variables that come in here to make, that would make, I would always, and as a trainer, I would always caution on the less risk side first and then progress them that way. So for body, body strength, body weight type of a program to start them off and see how they start to respond, addressing diet stuff, getting into tension type movements like

in maps anywhere like Justin was saying. And then like asking yourself as a trainer, like, does this person, can they start doing a loaded barbell and, you know? And then maybe you then you transition them eventually into a maps red pre-phase and then a maps red regular and then from there. Yeah, because when I took a beginner on, it usually starts like this, correctional exercise, then we're going into kind of a traditional hypertrophy,

type of range where I'm looking at anywhere between eight to 12 repetitions. And then I go strength. It's supposed to be like this, it would be prime, anywhere, red. Complete, 100%. Prime anywhere, red. That's how, this is why we created all these programs.

If you're a trainer, if you're listening to that, and you're a trainer like, and you haven't invested in all the programs, I would invest in it, even if I didn't use it. I'd use it as an educational tool for myself to better program. That's why we created it. We really created all these programs

to provide resources, not just for the masses, but also for the professional who could be dealing with the programs. I would love to have all those options, right? Because then again, you get somebody with very distinctive, you know, like variables coming in that you're like, oh wow, it'll match best with this. But now I can draw up a pretty long program based off of the programs we've already created.

So. Now, with a weak immune system, food and sleep play massive roles in that also, but you're not asking about that. Yes, correct. You're asking about just exercise. But I do want to say that like you get you great with your workouts But if sleep as food is off the immune systems, you have a tough time That's another great point like I'd also be wanting to know why their their immune system is weak and what do they mean by we right

And does that mean they have like a really high stress job? And so they they deal with stress seven days a week and so you know definitely a heavy barbell or a barbell type of lifting routine at first, it probably not be ideal for this person. Maybe we're doing more mobility yoga type work with a little bit of body work in there. You know, so, and really, exercise without known exactly. And exercise does strengthen the immune system when done properly, when done improperly, it will do the opposite. If you train somebody too hard with the wrong movements, you will depress an immune system. Now, all exercise, all exercise

temporarily causes a slight depression in immune system. All of them. So if you go into the gym and you're working out and you're fighting something, the odds that whatever you're fighting is going to win go up quite a bit. The strengthening doesn't come from the actual workout itself. The strengthening of the immune system comes from after that adaptation process. I just want to be clear because I've heard way too many people tell me this bullshit where, oh, I've got a cold, maybe I should go to the gym and run it off,

go on the treadmill and whatever and sweat it out or go lift, because I think that'll make my cold go away. No, it doesn't work that way. You're gonna go in there and stress your body, which then takes resources and takes energy from your body away from fighting whatever you have and putting it towards trying to recover

from muscle damage and all that other stuff. That also doesn't mean though, you sit in a dark room and don't move at all. Movement's okay. Go outside, get some sunlight and stuff like that. But definitely, if you're talking about a weak immune system, exercise is one component. And it's not even as important to sleep and nutrition. Sleep and nutrition are actually more important in this regard. So get those and check and then add the proper exercise

and then you'll see them improve. Check this out. If you go to YouTube, our channel is mind pump TV, totally different content than the podcast, lots of new videos.
