Key Takeaway

For bigger arms, trade ego weight for full range of motion today. On every curl and triceps extension, lower under control into the deepest comfortable stretch and finish the rep completely, even if that means reducing the load. Then audit your workout: include one exercise that loads the muscle in a stretched position, use different elbow positions across your arm exercises, and keep progressing on heavy compound presses and pulling movements.

Episode Overview

Mind Pump breaks down five commonly missed principles for building larger biceps and triceps: full range of motion, training at long muscle lengths, varying elbow position, prioritizing compound lifts, and using blood-flow restriction as an occasional intensifier. The hosts argue that simple adjustments in execution and exercise selection can produce more arm growth than adding more isolation volume.

Key Insights

Full Range Beats Ego Weight

The hosts argue that cutting reps short to use heavier dumbbells or barbells sacrifices both strength and hypertrophy potential. Use the largest pain-free range you can control, even when it requires dropping the weight substantially.

Train the Stretch Position

Include at least one biceps or triceps movement that loads the muscle while lengthened. Examples discussed include incline curls for biceps and overhead triceps work, where the elbow position creates a meaningful stretch under load.

Use Elbow Position to Build a Complete Workout

Many exercises that feel different are mechanically very similar if the elbow stays in the same position. Choose arm exercises with elbows behind the torso, at the sides, and in front of the torso to create more varied loading.

Make Compound Lifts the Foundation

Heavy pressing, dips, rows, and pulling movements provide a strong growth signal for the arms while building usable strength. Isolation work can refine arm training, but the hosts recommend treating progress on compound lifts as the cornerstone.

Use Blood-Flow Restriction Sparingly

Blood-flow restriction (occlusion) training lets very light loads create intense local fatigue and a large pump. The hosts present it as a useful occasional addition for arms, rather than a replacement for progressive strength training.

Frameworks or Models

Five Tips for Bigger Arms

1. Perform arm exercises through a full, controlled range of motion. 2. Include at least one exercise that challenges the muscle in a stretched position. 3. Select movements with different elbow positions rather than multiple near-duplicate exercises. 4. Build arm size on a foundation of progressively stronger compound presses and pulls. 5. Optionally add a small amount of blood-flow restriction work with very light weights as an intensity technique.

Notable Quotes

"So, in your always training try to include at least one a strenuous exercise stretching position."

— Mind Pump host

"Choose three, where elbow position is different. It so simple life hack for hand training."

— Mind Pump host

"Basic exercises—it's like your bread. It's like yours. basic diet. Isolation exercises wonderful and give a certain effect, but if you become strong, become strong in narrow grip bench press."

Action Items

  • 1
    Reduce the load and reclaim your range

    In your next arm session, lower the weight on curls and extensions enough to reach a deep, comfortable stretch and complete the contraction without swinging or stopping short.

  • 2
    Build a three-angle arm workout

    For each muscle, select exercises that place the elbows in different positions. For example, use one biceps movement with elbows behind the body, one at the sides, and one in front; apply the same principle to triceps.

  • 3
    Add one long-length movement

    Add one stretched-position exercise to every arm workout, such as incline dumbbell curls or an overhead triceps extension. Use controlled reps and stop if joint pain appears.

  • 4
    Track one compound-lift progression

    Choose a compound press or pull that strongly involves the arms—such as close-grip bench press, dips, rows, or chin-ups—and aim to gradually add reps or load with good form.

Probably one of main fitness the goals of people leaving to the gym—to have bigger, more embossed hands that look simple amazing. We We will give you five tips. They really are working so that you received the desired hands. Let's go. Big hands. Big hands. That's all I have. worried, when you were young. When you are young, that's all I have worried. Me too. Yes. Yes. You know, training. hands, hmm, arm training— it's not too difficult, truth? If we we are talking about development of the lower body parts, in particular back, hmm, training for measles, some people think it's very basic and simple, but it could be hard.

There is much more. difficulties, but lots of arm exercises quite simple. Yes, it is. quite easy. Single-joint action. It's pretty easy, but people don't care are assumed mistakes, and they not even realize that because of this they lose many results. In fact, about what we are going discuss when I trained experienced athletes or managed halls, they were not my clients, but were members of the hall, and we talked about some things we're talking about Let's tell you now. They seem insignificant changes, but significantly affect hand development.

And so, I will give you the first piece of advice. The first one—this will sound obviously, but you You will be surprised. In fact, if you listen, many people of you is probably guilty in that it is not trains with full amplitude of movements for hands. Yes. I wanted to say, what actually exists resistance to this. I am I encountered this. Well, we Yes. And about philosophy time under load, you know, no necessarily to perform a full amplitude, because there is a certain loss of efficiency, but yes.

If you don't use the full amplitude, you don't achieve complete potential of everything muscles. So I always hated the argument " I have to keep my muscle under. voltage, so I don't I am doing a full amplitude. I hated this one argument, because if you don't relax in full amplitude, as as if I were losing weight, truth? The muscle is under load. Therefore, stay under tension all the time, but full research amplitude of movements demonstrate this quite clearly. You build more muscles, and the strength you develop, there is fuller, because it is applied to...you know, most of the force, which you get in exercise, falls on amplitude of movement, in which you are training.

The further you go out beyond this amplitude of movement, therefore less than this force is possible apply. Therefore, in other words, if I do half squat, like only I descend to six inches below, there is a significant decline. This is a big fall. applied force, truth? And what about muscle development, research show that the full amplitude of movement really matters. So, it's simple, and how I already said, a lot People are offended by the fact that stop their bending, especially, for example, bending on Scott's bench.

They stop early or not straightened hands to the end triceps exercises. They seem to stop at halfway. Simply do the full amplitude of movement in in their exercises and See what happens. Yes. I think it's because that they, or we, ultimately we sacrifice full amplitude for the sake of weight. Oh, like, because I have to take less weight, right? And that's why I I think there is such a thing. the idea that if I were a little shorten the amplitude, then I can add five more.

or ten pounds of weight , and my ego is like more— What can I do now? lift dumbbells 45 pounds, instead of pound. with full amplitude movement. Ahem. But just to to emphasize, I already talked about it regarding your legs. I remember how for me it was a revelation. It was very obvious. because I've been here for so long squatted only to 90 degrees, and then tried the full amplitude, and the difference in weight was significant. develop larger leg muscles. Using the full amplitude of movement with much smaller emphasizes that lose 5 or 10 pounds to perform a full amplitude, much better than adding 5 or цю амплітуду.

Not speaking of long-term the benefit of this to others. And you know, every time you need something use hands штовхання чи тягу. Ahem, to get injured. Yes. It розпізнає. It отримали травму. But years. I was a fitness manager and on that time has been going on for some time trained. I started to train at 14. So I already had experience training. I certified coach. Although not yet very experienced coach. But I knew that I do, at least in terms of exercises. OK. I have there was a coach who worked for me.

His name was Mitch. Maybe you know Mitch. Maybe you met him earlier. He was Vietnamese. He was lean, muscular simply incredible hands. We are together with him. trained. I am fine. I remember this because I was so proud, or, rather, he was proud of it, what could I do bench press Scott. So, to me was 18. I could do bending with a barbell, with pancakes 25 each pounds on each side . Yes? You take the vulture, You hang 25s, and I did his/her job Scott. And I trained with him.

He hung 10 pounds from each side. AND I remember thinking, "Oh ", it will be easy". Then I saw him. makes a bend: he lowered the barbell to end, almost completely straightening your elbows, like hyperextension, and raised it up to top. And I always stopped for a while earlier. Stopped, you know, in a few inches to full amplitude. So I decided to try its weight. I did the exercise with full amplitude movements. I received incredible pumping. training approach biceps, especially in this exercise. And I am very quickly saw results.

I am not змінював вправу. I nothing at all changed. I took less weight, but added a few inches to amplitude movement. The same was true in hands on triceps through head. This is what, you know, especially if your elbows are healthy, you can become very a large dumbbell or something like that. And I learned the same thing. You know, I had a large 100-lb dumbbell, and I stopped for a while earlier, and my friend says, "Dude, take 50 , get down as low as possible lower, move your elbows away back, feel stretching, and then stand up completely above".

And it "burned" » my triceps, and I got great results. That's all. due to the amplitude movement. So, here it is. next. hands always try include the one that loads the muscle in stretched position. OK? It feel like a muscle похилій лаві, так? I My elbows are down. along the sides. Опускаю dumbbell all the way down . And this is actually stretches the biceps, or wrong? If my elbows ahead, there is no stretching. But when I take away them back, through over-the-shoulder fastening, to stretch biceps, I need to take one's hand back.

This provision stretching and load on him. The data shows that it has a little more important when it is about hypertrophy. For triceps it would be overhead exercise, where are you really Stretch your triceps. So, in your always training try to include at least one a strenuous exercise stretching position. And it often turns out, that in all their arm training there is no exercise for stretching. None. Yes. I believe that need to do one exercise in position stretching, and one— in position abbreviation. This is the key, it became for me a real discovery because I don't know how much I have been training for years.

biceps and triceps three or four times a week. But it's been exactly two- three years before for I finally got it. formed into a whole a picture. I am not realized that, you know, stretching hands on the block with rope, with a straight line handle, with triangular handle and reverse grip— it's all the same. you know, and here in the world, where I did one of such exercises after another, as if I were receiving different training, you, of course, they got into trap: "Oh, this feels a little otherwise, so maybe "This is another exercise." AND Actually, no, I don't.

I'm working on my triceps. from a different angle, truth? I don't bet. him in a stretched out position, or completely abbreviated, or somewhere in the middle, and, moving on to yours the next point, not I take into account the provisions elbow in each of these movements. That's what mostly makes the exercise different— this is the position elbow. So although supination of the hand to some extent plays a role in biceps development, she gives nothing for development triceps. But what really changes situation, so it is elbow position.

Yes. So, when you look at yours training and you think, What exercises to choose? Today I will do three biceps exercises or three for triceps. Now you have a huge choice of exercises. You you think: "Okay, what are they?" choose? I can choose only three. Choose three, where elbow position is different. It so simple life hack for hand training. When it comes down to chest workout, back and legs, everything becomes more difficult. For hands— everything is literally like that simply. Yes. Choose different elbow position. Done.

Now you have perfect workout on hands. An example for triceps can be: elbows on the sides, elbows in front, elbows behind. Ideally. Or for biceps: elbows behind , elbows on the sides, elbows …If you just load these muscles with different position elbows, you will get really great training and full development, much better than if you chose three exercises from the same or similar position. I was waiting for this. next question. Basic exercises. Basic exercises. Yes. Simply because of points of view muscle strain and receiving maximum benefit from this powerful signal, and then implementation isolated exercise, often worth combine both approaches.

And this the most interesting part. Are you thinking about powerlifters—dude , they have very large muscles, and it's very a powerful signal that they generate when mobilize all their strength. So the only one a way to achieve this —these are basic exercises. That's all. And then, you know, to hone , to give shape. I am everything I understand that, you know how. the result of this. But if you don't add basic exercises, you not even come closer to growth potential muscles. No. And you are beautiful.

an example of this. That is, if you watch this on YouTube, you see Justin. Justin's powerful hands, and he, probably does isolation exercises on biceps and triceps. I don't know, maybe twice. per month. Yes. Very rare, but These are all basic exercises. They are mine. like. But yes, These are all basic exercises. Yes. And basic exercises for triceps—this, for example, bench press narrow grip or push-ups on the parallel bars. And when it comes to reaches the biceps, people ask: "What this is a basic exercise for them?" It's like back exercises.

You just do them otherwise, isn't that right? Now we have There is a "buy one, get one" promotion. get a second one free of charge" on MAPS programs. 10 most popular MAPS programs. MAPS Anabolic, Aesthetic, Performance, 15 Minutes, Anywhere, Symmetry, Starter, Muscle Mommy, Powerlift and 40 Plus. "Buy one, get one" promotion get the second one "gift" is valid directly now. Go to mapsbogo.com. Well, okay? Let's start the show. Yes, quickly. If you love us the same, як ми вас. Why not? show this, by purchasing one of our t-shirts, caps , cup or training equipment on mypumpstore.com.

I'm serious, right now. Press pause. Go to mindpumpstore.com. That's all. Enjoy the rest of the show. Exercise, which I learned from Mike Mentzer. Mike Mentzer told about this, and he found out from Arthur Jones—this reverse block thrust grip. Now I know, you say: "Well, that's it back exercise". Yes, but you can change execution technique, to turn it into biceps exercise. If a little lean forward and to lift weights down while driving, look what will happen to yours biceps. They truly include biceps in work. You will feel them as never before.

And you you can work with with such weight that usually wouldn't be able to lift on the biceps. AND this plays a big role role in their size and development, not to mention functionality. Well, to confirm, how powerful there are basic exercises for hand development. Even these, because you call them movements, right? Like this push-ups on the parallel bars and thrust reverse with the grip you have trying purposefully to work on your hands. but you will be surprised, how much do they grow your hands are just from heavy basic Yes.

Oh, yes. basic exercises. So, with moment of rupture pectoral muscle, somewhere a year and a half ago, I I can count on fingers of one hand, well, definitely less than two hands. I can to say that less than 10 times, maybe less five, I trained my arms in a year and a half. Yes. I never again I don't train my arms separately. , but I still do many heavy basic exercises, and that was enough for hand support. Of course, they are no longer as impressive as earlier, but hands in I'm still here.

You know, I still don't look like a person who doesn't train hands. And it worked. to support thanks to performing basic exercises, without any exercises aimed at right on them. And I know many boys who not at all they train their hands. I have on mind you, a lot of crossfit -athletes, almost everyone CrossFitters are not make insulating biceps curl. You can't get large bench press without strong biceps. Yes. huge triceps and shoulders as a result . It seems to have to balance. Yes. No, 100%.

By the way, good example this, although sometimes it causes a little disputes. Look at genetically bodybuilders. They have make them real gymnastics. Other вони тренуються. You cross". This is crazy. load on pull-ups, constant push-ups on uneven bars, minimum or none at all isolation exercises, and their hands look like in bodybuilders- amateurs. Yes. With such development, and all this from these basic exercises. Basic exercises—it's like your bread. It's like yours. basic diet. Isolation exercises wonderful and give a certain effect, but if you become strong, become strong in narrow grip bench press.

Look what will happen to your... No extension on triceps in the world is not will be equal to adding 15 kg to your press. No, that's just a word. Justin. Show I am the one who is difficult presses the barbell, and I I'll show you the big ones. triceps. Show I am the one who is difficult pulls the barbell in an incline , and I will show you biceps. I mean, simply this comes in a kit. AND the reason why I, and the reason why I want to emphasize this, is that I I would like to know this.

earlier. I know. I would like someone to He hammered it into me. head when I was younger, because I so many years spent on complete arm training, and that's it, what I did was exercise for hands, purely insulating, trying to pump These biceps, right? it was simple increase the working weight in the bench press and deadlift. And not to mention that that although we speak It's about the hands, that one the impact that these basic exercises have to general development muscles, just has cumulative effect. You, uh, it's just, you you can't, you can't you can emphasize it is enough that this is exactly what it should be cornerstone.

Because the one who listens to similar episode and wants pump up big arms, I am sure that you and so constantly train your hands, but, probably replacing them days of the estate pulling, rowing or bench press, and, like, Don't do this. Make it yours cornerstone. AND then yes, take it tips that we now we give, regarding the position elbows, do these basic exercises, and this all. But, man, has a cornerstone there will be progress in these big exercises, get stronger in them and see what this will give you.

No, it's simple, as I said. said it was simple advice that has great importance. AND the last one, this is very well suited for hand training. Therefore, occlusion training or restrictions blood flow was very popular, probably nine years old or eight years ago. This, this, this builds muscle, guys. It builds muscle, though this is a strange way training. He used in physiotherapy for a long time The bodybuilder took on him. Um, and that was it. apparently open 60 or 70 years ago. On essentially, when you overlap venous outflow from muscles, i.e.

outflow blood, products decay accumulate in muscles, and fast muscle fibers get tired and adapt as if you raise a lot a lot of weight You too you get this crazy phenomenon stretching from intracellular the pump, which is most intense the feeling that you ever felt during occlusion training . So, for those who don't familiar with this, this very easy to do on hands. This is much more difficult with others body parts. You take a knee pad and wrap it around the shoulder is enough tight to feel how it overlaps a little blood circulation.

I am not I pull so hard, to lose sensitivity, but enough to feel: yes, it is quite tight. Then I I do several repetitions of bending on biceps. And I you I warn you: the feeling burning sensation in the biceps from this procedure will be incredible. There is nothing more painful than this feeling. It literally because decomposition products accumulate in muscles. You can't get rid of them. This is baking. like crazy. Pump, which you get, just crazy. It the craziest pump, which you used to- felt something.

AND this, uh, adds another one element. When I do this did, I tried it on the calves and on the arms. And in a few weeks I added a quarter inch to both, just adding a couple of sets a week . Only a few sets on a week, and the difference was huge. And this funny, I don't anymore I see someone doing this. did. This is a forgotten method. But that's why he was a certain time. And I don't I know why he left. out of fashion or not, but for arms and calves it's easy find.

Such a cool thing. This is madness. It fun. This is crazy. . And again, take light dumbbells and do repetition. You will feel a burning sensation. Take a break from 30 seconds to a minute. The burning sensation will not go away, while you are resting. It will actually be intensify. Supernova stimulus. Then take it again. very light dumbbells. That is, so that people know, for me it was 10 pound dumbbells. Do it again repetition. Do it. that's three times. Then Put the dumbbells away. Sit for another 30 seconds, while everything is burning with fire .

Yes. Remove knee pads. And you did it. AND the pump and swelling that you you get from this, just super super crazy. In any case, in There is research, which I would like to he opened, about irreplaceable amino acids and what they are not needed for stimulation of pure muscle synthesis squirrel. OK. So I I want him to do this. opened. This is very interesting. OK. Muscle synthesis protein we can measure, and when it positive, this means that the body builds muscle. OK. So, we are building.

So if we measure this and are we sure that this is always happens, when does it happen like this? Well, he has remain positive all the time. Good. So obviously, what can you get positive, and then later—negative, and in the result will be zero. Good. But what are we we see, making certain things, eating in a way, that's how it is what we stimulate muscle growth. Earlier it was believed that for this is needed complete protein. But in this and other studies have found that are replaceable amino acids are not needed.

For stimulation of synthesis muscle protein only needed irreplaceable amino acids. This is not means that this is the only one, What should you do? That is, you should not use only irreplaceable amino acids and never eat complete proteins. It It's pointless, because you all You will still eat food. But this means that if you are on a "dry" diet, then this is just for you. You on the "drying", you have little calories. Addition buy extra squirrel now that you count all yours calories. You think: " How do I increase muscle synthesis protein, but not exceed the limit calories?

Add to your diet irreplaceable amino acids. They have very few calories, almost zero, because it is not complete white. And you will receive more synthesis muscle protein. It great strategy, because the main thing "drying" tasks— it's to preserve muscle. Yes. And irreplaceable amino acids, you know, like those from Keon that we we use. You accept six capsules three, four, five times a day to maintain high synthesis level muscle protein. Yours almost no calories are changing because it is not complete protein. Well, that makes sense. We told people about it on GLP-1.

Absolutely. AND of course, that to recommend this to someone, who is also "drying up". I I can assume that this will be beneficial. I experimented with цим минулого року. It it was extraordinary effectively. It's a pity that in when I was working out bodybuilding. Well, that I didn't do this, bodybuilding. I am not did this when was engaged in bodybuilding. Actually I still am irreplaceable dissipation". «BCAA—це waste, all of it." I was still in it camps at that time. So I didn't waste time. so that this engage in.

Looking back, I I'm sorry that I...I did DEXA scan before and after, and for the whole the drying period is almost over didn't lose muscle, though usually when drying you are expected to You will lose a little of them. Yes, that's expected, and the goal is to to lose as much as possible Less. So stay tuned. drying as long as I do, and so much to dry out, like last year...Um, this it was really impressive. If I decided to make aggressive drying - and I do not plan to do it, but Let's say I wanted to.

would achieve single-digit percentage of fat. For me this individually, but I I can support about 11% fat, maybe 10%, and I normally. If I I want to achieve single-digit values , I know I will lose a little muscle. It simply inevitable, especially if I I fall below 7%. The only question is, How many muscles do I have? I will lose. How would I act now: how usually, in your I would take the diet irreplaceable Keon amino acids five times a day. I would take six five to six capsules times a day.

Hmm, and I would keep more muscles than did this in the past. That would be it. strategy. Therefore, Adam, you saw, didn't you? I know, have you seen this? Did you see that meme? is walking now, about and the system in Germany—how is it? strange and how is that crazy? Manage this. Okay. No, no, dude. This is madness. So, someone calculated this for couples with two children, where both work. Hmm, how much would they be? earned and how much received "in hand" according to the tax system in Germany.

In Germany. Okay. Therefore, normally. It doesn't matter. Close. Enough close. . Через те, як працює , regardless of whether euros per month. It You can earn because you taxed much stronger, and as a result you money, earns three. This is true. As a couple. Well, I mean, how simply. But I remember Do you remember? For example, I remember how fought his way up, yes ? Annual income. And this, of course, it was about 20 years ago ago. So, probably, it has changed a little, but I remember clearly, when you move to a new one tax category.

Yes. Yes. I am clear. I remember what it was like— transition from 70,000 to up to 90 and up to 110 thousand per year. And I remember how I reached 110—it was important milestone, mother a six-figure sum, yes ? And I didn't feel like myself. richer with 110 than with 70, because at 70 I paid very little taxes. I had enough deductions, expenses, that is, I practically do not paid extra taxes. But how I just crossed. six-digit code , I started paying more, pay additional taxes.

So, as if I were bringing home a little more during the year, but then had to to give money at the end of the year, and when I was counting everything, I thought: "God, despite all these efforts, I don't feel that. earned a lot more". And I saw how people are talking about it —the jump that is needed to make the style life really changed, just frantic. And even in The USA is like that. Perhaps, not so much extremely, What's in this? that it is demotivating people.

bring home a certain amount, and you think: work more persistent? Or worth trying get a promotion? продуктивнішим? Uh, more, then Don't even waste it. time. Why waste time? " many of our social programs. I know such people. Yes. When they receive states to work? "" А вони payments. I don't do this anymore. отримуватиму. And by as much as Yes. I will work. And I don't can I blame Yes. thoughts, isn't that right? You know, this is kind of crazy. No, I mean that це...так. No, I know.

many people who I find this difficult. created. You encourage people to do this. Why go? to work if I What will I earn? I will earn. for a few bucks more, but to me it will be harder work. Me will have to work much harder. It Does it make sense? I have on mind you, do you remember, How was it for you? As about yours? One thing that was positive, it what I really am looked at what I do, and how much I like it. So when I received proposals, and I'm sure you do too, from customers and so on, change careers, right?

I always got, Well, I don't know how much. times a year, maybe a couple of times, from the client we are working with We understood each other. they really good to me They stood and said:" Hey, go work on me. You should go. work for me, and I I will pay you. so much ". And that was, you know, sometimes more money, than I earned, but this there was always only a little more than that, What did I have? And I always said: Yes, Yes. No, I know what it's like.

I love what I do. I I love my job. It fun. And there it sounds not so fun. Yes. I love what I do. And another 30-40 thousand dollars per year, which sounds like a lot, not really and many. Because when you you are getting up you are going to college tax group. And this the type that actually difference per month? AND when you live in an expensive place in the area, it's, well...it's not already has one of great importance. One of the most difficult things, as far as I'm concerned, for people—and I understand, why is this so difficult question.

Me lucky, because I'm from immigrant families, they were very hardworking. Me constantly told about all the wonderful the opportunities here, what we could use, and mine father grew up in great poverty. My maternal grandfather line came here in very difficult times. So I was raised in a spirit of gratitude for what do you have, and necessity hard work. And that was it, that was a big plus. I I understand where you're coming from. is taken like this mentality: you see, that someone produces or earns a lot more.

Like, yes, they have to pay much more taxes. But it is necessary to be careful to not to push away the most productive market. I know that people sometimes they argue, I mean, I'm also very I work hard. I know that they work, but I I also teach at full. Of course you hard. But value. So if someone is very Yes? It may seem that they create which no one has real benefit. But often they are implementing innovation, and we don't we want to deprive motivations of those who really productive, saying to them: "You will be taxed " .

Because the more you earn and you produce, so more often people say:" And what's the point of this? I I won't even anymore. try. "I think it's very easy to look like this when you all my life I was employee . Everything changes when you have to build your own business, because you you start looking at this is from a different angle. I realized this during conversations with friends who work as teachers, in civil service or all life was mercenary employees and never tried open your own business.

This is completely different. worldview and perspective when you small owner business, and all these bureaucratic obstacles through which has to to break through, to to get what is on paper, and bring it home—that's enough significantly. You know, that was fun, really fun, and, uh, your elder brother works, Yes? Yes, it works. Okay, that's very interesting, I think everyone teenager because of this passes. My niece gets work, begins work, sees your first check and says: “Wait a minute. And where? the rest of the money? Why are my...what?

I thought , that I earn 15 per hour. Yes. Aha. And I say: "Oh, "You pay taxes." And to see how she is in my head is spinning light and she asks : “Wait. Where...is this? хіба не мої гроші?» AND I answer: "No, it is the amount you owe to pay." Aha. Watch this. quite funny. You are from with their children through Did you pass? They Did they say anything about it? Uh, yes, there was a little bit. Aha. Те саме з чеком на зарплату. And, uh, yes, I think so Awareness came when Ethan was spending tried to sell other.

I like it. , якою він займався. AND, allowance. AND, things on Amazon. And then said: "You must Його маржа була 100%. AND now I want ingenuity and He asked if he could home, and now in all of him set up and ready to work. Yes. I say: "Oh, cool." I, like, I want to help you. to run it all, take off and so on. But I said, "You know, you will have to buy all t-shirts, and paint, and all that." So it must be taken into account all this and think about how we are going "return the funds." Well, and he bought it all.

He sold several pieces, and it's just crushed, you know? He realized that, it seems like it won't be able to get your money back. I said, "I know, that's It's hard, right? "" But, you know, you already have first experience. "I said: "The more you you will do this and you will learn, that you will understand faster that such entrepreneurship " . I can't wait. that day. But it was steeply. It was fun. My 5-year-old son buys kits for creation jewelry, well, children's things to do bracelets or something like that .

And he sold them family. Of course, members families gathered buy everything. And here it is he says: "I want buy this for yourself. "I I answer: "Wait, so that I can sell several ". And we are getting attached conversation: "Look, this costs 15 dollars, and you Are you going to sell them? at a dollar apiece "." You will receive 10 dollars. ". Yes. You actually lost 5 dollars. He is like this:" What? "I say, 'Yes, if you will buy it and sell it per dollar, you will lose money.

"And he's like:" The wheels turned "." Wait, I need to lift. prices. "Yes, exactly. that came out, it was federal national survey on drug use and health. Most popular substance that causes Want to guess what this is? We include the following things like nicotine and alcohol. No, these are legal things. Those who Oh, legal stuff. Caffeine. So, oh, yeah. Caffeine. They didn't include caffeine. It is counted. They, they don't count it. It That's right, Doug. They would have if врахували кофеїн. It apparently. For the first time.

Not really. alcohol. This is significantly grass. Oho. Oh, wow. Grass. Grass. Канабіс —this is the most drug. He is now about this. Similarly. Not sure what I want. I like it. This is not good. good. Я точно ні. how crazy is this unproductive, well You know, many people... You sound like me. Do you remember how we argued about it a couple of years ago? Remember this? Yes. You said. Yes. You, you already started it. Yes. I, I said, "Dude, I'd rather put mine on. child for drinking and drunk than smoking weed." And I said that, although then I smoked weed myself constantly.

I'm like, "This is says the one who smokes. I guess I... I would choose this. "And it's not because I believe one thing healthier than the other. It's not even about this. The thing is, that the grass is so omnipresent. Light to justify: this useful for me, or it is not harmful, or, saying, oh, this helps me with anxiety. Hangover, and you don't have it. , there are not many, well, direct consequences, right? Exactly. That's right. AND so for me this, this, it, it sneaks up imperceptibly, and before you will realize this, this becomes daily habit, and you become unproductive.

You You're not doing anything. You know what this is? the craziest? I was wrong about this, and I will say it publicly. I thought that legalization of cannabis , it was when he has not been yet legal. Good, now he mostly legal. He hasn't yet legal on at the federal level, but in fact legal, because many states of it legalized, and to the federal government it doesn't matter whether he nothing to do with it does. I thought that legalization is not will increase it use. I thought, oh, it will be approximately therefore equal, and, maybe people will use less because it's not so tempting, because it's not black anymore market.

This is not fascinating, truth? What now, looking back ago, was one of the stupidest thoughts, which can only be had . He definitely took off to heaven. I don't think so. you can still do these conclusions. This is still novelty. It extraordinary novelty for the majority most of our society. Do you think it is...You What do you think it is? will grow in... 100%. 100%. This is something new. I have I mean, I see it. even in your own family, among people, for whom marijuana was so taboo, but now it has become enough enlightenment, that it's not really It's already harmful.

Like: "Okay, let me I'll try, you know." Oh, and happening now this shift, this pendulum swayed in that direction, everyone can get it . It's not that bad. bad. Oh, come on. let's try. Oh, this fun. I never didn't do that. Now a lot is happening like this. And they can also to get children. It legally. I think I I definitely think so. the pendulum will swing back. Will he return? he is very backward, down? How high is this? will arrive before Is that so? Final There is no solution yet.

I am simply amazed, that in the USA its every day consume more, than alcohol or, uh, tobacco, that's just wild. Here the other part about which It's interesting to think about. Okay. Smoking weed alone—that's not right, huh -eh, it's bad, like drinking alone. Well, I just...Okay, you you think the same direction, as I am. Therefore, okay. Undoubtedly, alcohol can have terrible effects. Alcoholism is terrible. How often, how often someone said: "Yes, dude. I drank a couple. drank and played video games." You are right. can you smoke weed and play video games .

Well, that's what I'm getting at. Most people... just before I I say. Most people , who drink, you know, who enjoy a drink from time to time, even once a week or something like that, there is none alcoholics. We are it we know. Preferential most people who drink alcohol, do not are alcoholics. The vast majority people who use alcohol, do it in social environment. Yes. This is social...one of effects of alcohol in because he is his own kind of social grease. Yes. Cannabis—no. People from cannabis are getting strange.

Actually, no. I know a lot. introverts. Put yourself in a scary situation. ...Put yourself in quite scary social situation. Smoke a joint. I guarantee you won't. you will escape. I don't care, Who are you? I mean, obviously my brother— an example of a person who social anxiety, right? But he is in the minority, even if it's true about the people who are do. Mo, and if this something to smoke in my room alone, well, that's not socially, it's like intervention. You know, with worried. Yes, but I would argued with this, Adam, I don't know.

your brother. Okay. You would say that he super friendly man? paws in the air, like I don't believe it. That's right. Yes. Yes. But listen, Who am I to to judge, perhaps this is так, байдуже. I am everything I would argue the same thing, that he is an exception, even if it's true . because of this. I suppose but you know, I tried і те, і інше, правда? I drank alcohol. Marijuana does not me more sociable. Perhaps, when I'm with my loved ones friends I trust .

Yes. But if you put me to the place where I am I don't know anyone. If Give me cannabis, I I don't want to at all. Who to talk to? I I am becoming much more disturbing. Okay. Yes. I think with the epidemic loneliness and so on the fact that society now organizes itself so that to do this is dangerous combination. That's right, that's right. socialization, okay. Here's what happened with activity. We organized society so that to be active became hard. In fact, in order to be active now, you have to apply special efforts.

Sedentary lifestyle became the norm. This is how we organized society. We also slowly, and perhaps, and quickly, organized society so that to communicate with people now too must be applied efforts. And before communication was the norm. You had to be. соціальним. If I went to the store, You know, I had to go. walk to the store. I I had to go there. had to talk to people. I knew my own neighbors. Now we organized society so that to isolate oneself. DoorDash, the internet, all that, and we know this, loneliness epidemic just crazy.

If we add to this marijuana. My God. Bad combination, and it's not benefits people. Yes. No, I don't at all. I object to this. I don't...That's bad. , and that is what can potentially lead to to the fact that the situation will continue to deteriorate and will remain bad for a long time . Listen, okay, I I will say this about alcohol. Is there the difference between that to drink a beer or to drink a glass? Yes. OK. Cannabis is no longer same as before. He looks quite otherwise.

You are going to dispensary, take you can't even try find one where менше 20%ТГК. They are not sell. Oh yes, they don't sell. No, they all have over 25%. Previously it was 10-15%. Now they do incredibly strong. So this, well, this will be it. interesting. That is, I want to say, if you can smoke the whole joint, то ви стоунер. I have on mind you, this is from today's cannabis. Well, yes. No, It's just killing me. if I do more two puffs or something like this.

That is, it would be simply if you really you can smoke whole, this, this madness. It crazy tolerance. Yes. Що, так, саме так. And this means that you a lot happened to do to get to like this. You had to a lot to go through, to achieve this equal. Undoubtedly. Yes. No, I mean , which is part of motivation was a few things that encouraged me to throw But I also I know that my son is growing up, and I am sure, if I don't want to has he ever done this?

was engaged in, one of the easiest ways, In my opinion, it's for him to I didn't see my father do this. does, or was not next to this. And this was big, very great motivation for me. And I don't mind. cannabis. Even when I said I tied it up, I meant, you know. , I'm not saying never I won't be there anymore. Sure, will there be situations or moments when I I'll join in on this, but it will be extremely rarely. I have a friend, I don't I will name names and not I will give a lot.

details, but a person, which I know well, was regular consumer cannabis. They used it almost every day, what, how are we now we see, not so much rarity. Okay. Therefore, they used it regular. They have was also social anxiety, and they didn't really want to be in public or social situations . They thought it was simple their character. They just thought it was such a person. Yes. Quit smoking cannabis after went through the first a couple of months difficulties or something something like that. Pond lot more sociable, began organize events, to be among people, and literally told me: "I thought, This is my character.

I and I had no idea what this was. "it's all cannabis." It's like people who they think that they productive under it. And then they quit. And these: "Wow." Here's how actually looks like productivity. It's like caffeine. Well done. You went to work. You went anyway work. You don't care. did his job. This does not mean that You are productive. You know that meme where It is said that heavy times create сильних людей. Strong people create beautiful times. Yes. They made one for нікотину. And about cannabis it says it says nicotine, uh, nicotine creates, uh, creates strong people.

Strong people create good times. grass. Трава створює weak people. Слабких людей. That is, return to just funny. the other day. Have you ever excessive justification? Did you hear? about this? Actually, I think I this is it. This is really cool, dude. I looked at research, or I saw this study. It was really interesting. So, scientists took a group of children, who love to draw. Okay, these were children who were already loved to draw. It was their favorite occupation. If only they had there was no free time , they were drawing.

They have it. liked it. They took and divided them. And you can check this. See the effect excessive excuse me, Dagu, if you don't mind. And they took the children, divided them. They gave half children star every time when they were drawing. That is every time when they painted, gave eat a star and reward. Others they left the children in peace. That happened. Children who gave a star, stopped drawing by themselves. They just stopped. Children who left alone, continued this do. It is called an effect excessive justification.

Interesting. Athletes too feel it. There are athletes who passionate about sports, love him, get all the trophies, they do everything, and then suddenly they go to professionals, and now it's a job, they get paid, and they lose passion for it. And you will see this. also when they are talking about I wonder what it looks like. this curve. Yes, I know. This is because which is obviously certain positive reinforcement, which, probably, takes place on early stages. You you start drawing, you get a star, you get something similar.

Actually, I I think I saw how Ermozi spoke precisely about this. Probably exactly for this research he hinted because he said that after a while it fades away. So what does it look like? curve? Because first this signal rewards indeed works, at least first. What does it say, Doug? Well, I don't know. But if look at the graph, It seems he is very falls quickly. It truth. Oh, interesting. Can you open it? Can you take him out? screen? Oh, he's not there. OK. Sorry. Yes. Yes.

I thought he was already on screen. No, no, no, don't worry. . Yes. This is interesting, truth? And you see this also in humans. Yes. People who love that What are they doing? Yes. Yes. Look at this. Yes. What is this, what is this? game, what is it? intrinsic motivation? What is on the x and y axes? OK. Obviously, motivation is, I think, x-axis. Yes. And this is time. And this shows that here it is entered remuneration. Yes, I am interested. here's what: as soon as appears remuneration.

Well, judging by this graphics as soon as a reward is introduced , I'm having a hard time with this believe it, it is so quickly. I have a hard time with this. believe. What is written there? Yes, check. How does he explain the effect? excessive excuse, is there any? anything about this? Read what's there. said about excessive justification. So, yes, this is an introduction. incentive that has detrimental effect on intrinsic motivation person to perform the task she at first I wanted do it yourself. Yes. So, recognition a child who loves Drawing is different.

It it would be like, "Yeah, man. I really like these the drawings you make ", -that's completely different, than to say: "Everyone the time you draw, I will give you candy ". OK. This is actually very interesting, considering that we just now discussed this with our leader command, for example: well, in other words , I have an employee. This is their job. They did their job work and tasks the last nine months, things like that. And then I I reward this work. They are more nothing else did.

And then we we give them a raise. Wouldn't that lead to to the same thing? This is interesting because I think is this applicable to them, because they already pay for their work. So, they they don't do it free. So I'm wondering if does this matter? This should have an impact on their, um, result, isn't that right? And here's more one, let's say, let's take another one example. This is also would mean that I taught his son, um, to make the bed before school every day, and he did it all the time , say, a year, and then I suddenly decide pay him 5 dollars for this.

That's what it says here. The effect of excessive justification can to occur almost instantly, often already manifesting after the first or the second time receiving the expected material rewards. Decrease internal motivation starts when human brain reclassifies a pleasant thing or duty as work, which is performed purely for payment or project. OK. So, okay. There is here we need rethink this. Yes. So, where, okay. It means, it means Here, let's take mine. example with a son and making the bed. It would mean that he made the bed during the year independently.

By itself. do. I decide that on the fifty-sixth Once I start paying йому 5 доларів. Wonderful робота, синку. And now when I start do it every time, and then I stop—here then this happens. That's why, because now he is waiting for this. Yes. Yes. Good. But if I continued it to do, I am sure, he would continue this do. I don't know. Because what they showed in research with children, it Well, yes, that's because look, one or twice, once or twice times—that's it receiving. So, scroll down, Doug, again.

So, this is it. side. This is an experiment, which I read about. It epochal Lepper's research, Green and Nisbett 1973 year in kindergarten . Researchers documented this change during a few days. By children who are already loved to draw, observed after how they received material reward for this. AND this is how it develops chronology of events. They saw instant change in self-perception. People learn about own preferences, watching by their actions. If they notice that receive external reward for tasks, they quickly conclude: "I, I guess I'll do it.

for the sake of reward, and not because I like it like it. Is this more about art, knife, You know, household chores? I think if children Well, that's what, actually , teaches Scott Donald. Yes. Artists, he says that's why you shouldn't give money for ordinary household affairs. He says that this part of life in family as a whole. You make the bed, You take out the trash. Yes, You are doing it. This is on like, but then we have another . He classifies them as a kind of work.

That's right. So this is the things you do without payment, because it part of the family life. Ти їх робиш. We We all do it. But if you want to earn, is opportunities to get money. Можна посидіти . Можна помити машину whatever. He says that окрему роботу. But I don't know. I guess I am. on the other hand, for example, like бо це стає роботою. That process. And then suddenly I are starting to pay for This is a lot of money. AND що мені платять. AND fades quickly.

But I, . Якщо я справді важко to receive a reward. Yes. But I think this is different, right? We already We pay them. They already work for us. Yes. So I don't know. I guess I'm just I'm trying to understand. Me too. I am trying. use this example, because I understand: to make the bed—that is housework, what can you teach a child without payment, and if I I decide to pay for it, he is inevitable will stop doing that sincerely. Yes. If he already does it on its own.

So this is internal motivation. Therefore I I think this, you know, inner desire to do something, truth? And now, perhaps , he does it, but now just because wants money, truth? So this is The desire disappears. Yes. So, I think that's what happens with sports, music and other similar things. Yes. Interesting, right? I mean, it's interesting, and I I mean, me I wonder how it is. transferred to work and others things like that. It's like seems a little different. I mean, it's like that. , right?

But there is part of me, I have to mind, even when, well you know, an example, which one am I talking about now I think when we did something like that, where we simply raised, to increase, I I prefer tie this to something. To tie to something. Yes. or put a new goal, like, hey, I I want to raise you, but here's what I expect, so that you achieve this equal. Yes. Instead of just say, "Hey, you have been working with us for a year and you do your job ".

Here's another one for you. amount of money, because what are you actually you reward, doing so? And you simply, they literally do that precisely to get this, and now they will expect this every year, like: "Oh, if I'll just do that one. the work itself, I..." almost like a version stimulation against years of service, you know , such as: "I expect that because I am here so long, I get paid more". Yes, that's interesting. Yes. Interesting. So in therefore the keys, regarding psychology, I read a book about validation.

It is called " Validation", and in it it's about strength so that in essence confirm people's feelings when they come to you with something, or have some experience that, to things, does not mean that Do you agree with them? You just admit it their experience. The data provided in it, quite impressive. Therefore when someone finds itself in difficult, stressful situations, confirmation feelings of another human being essentially reduces fight or flight response ". And their depreciation— activates it. So, for example, your the child approaches you: “Oh my god, I do I'm nervous about this." "It not that big problem".

Yes. Oh, who cares? difference? Not Take care of this. Like, "just forget about it" ". Worst. Activates, worst. Activates the "fight" response or run" instead of recognition of their experience. What's funny is that crazy, I'm reading book, and by the way, I grew up in a family where nothing was validated. Everything was devalued. It was all in the style of: "Get up, you can do it." to do, it doesn't matter, "Wipe away your tears." Yes. Yes. Yes. So I and so it grew. But when I trained and taught.

people, I realized that this is very powerful tool. For example, when customers came to me with problems, the worst I could do to do—this devalue their feeling. You know, I think when You say that, right? to be very clear, because some may perceive support as connivance. And this really looks otherwise. We do this. with my son. It happens, he happens to hysterical, you can acknowledge his feelings, but at the same time fix it behavior. Say: "I understand, you were in pain and It's a shame, but everything will be fine.

good". "It happens, when we play too active." "You fell." "It accident". "WITH You will be fine. ". Yes. You can recognize their feelings, because of what they did not pass, but then go straight away to mentoring. It's like, "Hey, I see, yes, I understand why This made you so sad. ". Because I also think that you can go too far far from this support when you you just do that you give in without giving no advice. This can to just be like, "Oh, "Poor thing." "My God, This is just horrible, I don't "I can believe it." AND That's all.

And that's how you raise sacrifice. You create a person who every time, when it happens something bad is waiting to happen you will come running and be just confirm her feelings. And then we we get society of people, who only want to They felt sorry for them. That's the thing. Here confusion arises, Yes? Recognition feelings—it's not must agree with a person. This is not means: "Yes, I completely up to you side. You don't necessarily to agree with that that a person is so strong upset because four with a minus, which is quite panicking.

You are not you have to agree, but you can say: " Listen, I see you. tried very hard; you I expected excellent, so it really is "It's a shame." Yes. And then the conversation, right? You are lowering the level. fight or flight reactions ", they feel heard, and then already you can have a dialogue. But this conversation, in my opinion opinion, there should be no less important. Undoubtedly. Because otherwise, if you simply... Like a father—exactly. Yes. Because if you are whole just the other day confirm emotions , especially when they false.

Yes. Because then you're like consolidate this. Yes. I mean, if they behave, uh-uh but this is different. Validation of feelings the child is very differs from validation of a friend or, especially, wives or husband. Yes. You know, this part of the fix works so good. Let me tell you. to you, dear/sweetheart. Yes. I understand why. You are upset. Come on. I will explain why you You are wrong. That's why you shouldn't to be upset This won't work. It completely different, dude. Here's how it works. IN anyway, I I'll pause for a laugh.

So, guess what? again available as peptide, which again can I get it? What was it, he didn't know. was. MOTS-c is available again. For a moment you don't could couldn't for me. You couldn't have it. to get They put it on pause, but MOTS-c if you will return to menu, through our partners on mpormones.com, you can again get MOTS-c, which is very exciting, because this is one from my favorites peptides. You and Justin both long ago on it. Oh, this is the best, man. Yes, you two always admired him.

Why, why was he inaccessible? Because the FDA sent out letters and scared everyone . This was approximately the same time as with BPC? That's right. So BPC too can't for a while was to get. And now they made it so that you can again get a prescription for pharmacies, and you get a real one product. really provides powerful charge мітохондріям. So energy. Yes. This is the tide. energy. You are constantly good level energy. He also energy and accelerated metabolism. IN research on high-calorie fat. Interesting. sensitivity to good.

Interesting. One of my favorites few peptides, which I took. I don't actually know him. accepted. It was one of those that I accepted when On the third day I said: Wow, man. I I feel like It seems to me like lucky, at least with those I am with communicated, for For some it's simple. great, and others say, which is not very. I mean, I it seems like almost to all that concerns peptides. Depends on the peptide. Some people love SS, It seems to be SS31. Me it seems like he is is called.

This is him, Dag? Search. Pillar. No, no, no. This is completely other. This is different. So, I think it's SS31? Enter "SS31 peptides". Check be wrong. Yes. Therefore, SS31 also affects mitochondria, but works differently. People react or very good on MOSI, or on SS31. That's it. Good. So this is alternative. how people from him in delighted, and I tried—and nothing didn't feel it. Miy is better for me. I haven't tried this one yet. It's like a light dimmer. As if I'm adding brightness. Yes. Теж саме.

Interesting. То це ін'єкції Daily. Yes. Oh, every day. Yes. Ось чому, ось why are you... you forget. Yes, dude. He is small. No, that's not true. This is not it. Forget. Yes. Просто звичка I know. круті патенти? I . Я вам зачитаю. Motorola just received like a microphone. What? Yes. Татуювання. How is this? working? . I'm not sure. I just reading to you title. Motorola ще існує? Someone It's like... still working. Look at this. Amazon delivery people. It Oh, I saw that. I am this. saw.

. Yes. і ти замовляєш brother. Imagine. 15 ", dude. This will be... I think this is It was before. воно не пішло. Why? Why... actually didn't tested this in some areas, but it Somehow I don't know why. it did not acquire popularity. I am not I know. But Are you afraid to regulate? Perhaps. I don't know. Who knows? But uh, come on. I'll take a look. Because of the rules FAA, noise pollution, issue privacy. Oh, that makes sense. So I I I think that this there will be a future.

Uh-huh I think it will be madness because Amazon really, I mean, Amazon was crazy, Yes? You get things. the next day, it wildly. This is madness. for those of us who knows how it was earlier. I used to buy it things. Oh, you bought it before. on the same day, brother. You know what? you do. You know what we are will we have because of this? IN we will be cursed flying pirates. Oh, 100%. That's why it's not It will work, Justin. Here's why it's not Here why won't it work.

And then they will be steal his packages. Kill me. Yes. On motorcycle drones. Yes, brother. 100%it will happen . I mean, if you Risk risk robbery I want to make a movie, dude. Risk robbery of a person must be serious deterrent compared with robbery of a robot . This is not a person, it's a drone, that flies nearby. People will rob robots like crazy. Yes. Yes. They even people they will rob. Well, the only counterargument this: if you asked me if could we to go back to the past, uh, you know, for 40 years or more, because it was would be even longer than this .

We have about 40 years or more, and to say that one every day all kinds packages will be delivered to people's doors, and people they will not steal them from threshold. Yes. I wouldn't believe it. People don't do that. . Oh yes. I mean, the fact that now constantly the fact that everyone has standing at the door box right now, and it is not stolen. So, you know, maybe people will not be This is madness. Of course, at first there will be some pirates. There will be a riot piracy at least for a while, they motorcycles-drones with with weapons on their shoulders.

Dude, Have you seen all those? I I wonder how many of them real, and how many staged . those viral videos from people who steal boxes of Yes. People are putting bait box. Yes. And they lure them for with help Well, now with AI they have done so much such videos where it explodes. Aha. I don't know if they real or not. They bring me joy. This is really badly. But I am very I am happy when I see how the thief is showered blue paint.

This is just the worst, dude. This, well, this is from of the same opera. Like that you...this is really annoying . Like, really. The lowest level. Yes . Do so. This makes me real anger. Because, yes. Someone? You... Have you ever... Do you remember the first one? case when you have stole something for real valuable? Yes. What was that? Yes, it was a car. AT. More than once. This is serious. You know what? Hey, what are you odds? I don't think so. most people never had stolen cars, no speaking of two machinery.

Yes, two stolen machinery. You know, irony. in that... I...I was robbed. car, Integra, and then also a pickup truck. theft machinery. Most my heart was breaking through my cover on a thousand discs. You know, I had big case for four parts... from CDs that I've been collecting since high school. Disappeared. Disappeared. Cars can replace, that's it. AND that collection—no, but also there was a DVD in the pickup truck record player and stuff within. Then in I was...you know, our annual trip to the lake, where we We are constantly traveling.

We filmed short video of how we ride on wakeboards, jumping, all that, Yes? And I had at least 3 years DVD recordings. Oh, that's impossible. restore. Oh, no way. AND my friend, we still haven't we can find the originals of that everything. So it's simple. ...they disappeared. And they were very important to me special. Even more now that I grew up. I loved them when we were closer. And now, Damn, that was... The first time I'm with encountered this, this was my bicycle. I arrived at bicycle to local...It was a shop near the house.

There was a game room there. Street Fighter slot machine. Do you remember this one? And I played with him. I look out onto the street, I'm checking the bike. He is there. I'll play later. I look.

Thank you for that. invited. Hmm, well, after listening your episode, that I left on Monday. changed everything and frank and real. Um, in February me I'm turning 40, and I I want the next one The year became the year when I looked best in in your life.

Oh, yes, I am. I want a wonderful one mobility, functionality and strength, but in the end I I want to look amazing, no harming their own hormones or metabolism. Of in my experience: the last I was eight years old. pregnant, gave birth, fed three children, almost a year of daily learned about SIBR. I cured SIBO, started hormone therapy, in eight months he returned, a few months ago had to increase dose of HRT, and another 6 months ago I underwent surgery on the carpal tunnel . So, I'm 39 now.

I wife and mother of three little girls: 7, 5 and 3 years old. I want to be take care of yourself body. Вони вже знають, that in our house we цінуємо білок. Once to lose weight, and this it was like for me punishment. I moved. on the roundabout training to lose weight. It was bad idea. On circuit training helped, but now not anymore. Maybe that's it. eight years of my life roller coaster . My husband and I have when to me began perimenopause. Thank God, I started HRT, otherwise this poor guy could break up with me.

My girls were too on the edge, because I behaved like a real crazy person. Now the digestion got better. Me still have to avoid gluten, sugar and most dairy products. But before all this I was selfish, and my husband always me pampered. And then series of births, changes in the body and everything that accompanies such life changes —I was very It's hard to accept. But accepting this made me better mother, wife and man in general. I returned to faith, and I really like it helped. And yours too The podcast became for me really useful.

Now that everything is more- less well, I I want to restore self-esteem and to afford to stay a while selfish during year. I want to become stronger, to pull up and have great view. But I I understand when necessary. to make an effort, and when to slow down. My busiest period at work—with mid-December to March. So, I want to arrange a set masses in autumn, do program 15 and a bit to walk during loaded season to support shape, then make drying, increase cardio or something like that, to dry off in the spring and burn fat , and then again to keep fit in the summer, if it sounds real.

Ahem, my question: which ones programs, on your opinion, best These will suit me. seasons for next year? Good question, glad you called. It looks like you had to not easy. Well, probably to all mothers it is necessary, but, You know, this is life? But yes, I it took time to to come to terms with chaos, which the children bring. Yes. Хоча вам це seems familiar, this very difficult. I worked with many women who gave birth, passed through hormonal changes and everything about this leads to problems with intestines.

So, in simultaneously. Or problems with Not exactly ideal. I, sourdough. That's good. But I don't care. helps. Hmm, but... OK. OK. OK. Therefore, we need to make sure that we це підтримуємо. That is support intestinal health, spoil. Ваша ЗГТ зараз стабільна? You Yes. Yes. When I June, I was typing mass in the fall, and my metabolism sharply has grown. I talked to your gynecologist, and she said that it was it may be because I learn everything faster. So we had to to raise a little level, but now I I feel pretty.

good. Of course. And what? is included in your HRT? Is this a complete complex? You accept progesterone, drugs thyroid gland, testosterone? Without drugs thyroid gland. Um, progesterone, estrogen and testosterone. Good. Without thyroid No. So, okay, good. So, that's it. why should you concentrate now, —this is traditional strength training, you need to get up stronger. This will be in the best way to prepare for future drying. Do you track? calories? Do you have the idea on which you stage with this? Yes, my level 2000. Um, when I was on mass last fall, I could consume up to 2700 –3000 calories.

Um, and no I will lie to you. it was hard after this "drying", because I I like to eat. Yes. Um, this is my zone. comfort. Besides leaven, you know, just crosses out all efforts. And when you ate so much, you gained a lot of weight did you build muscle and kept in shape? No, actually for last year I only was a little hesitant. Ahem, In the summer, I weighed somewhere 125 pounds, and when gaining weight, my the maximum was 135. So, Oh, that's cool. Yes.

I hesitate in these within limits. No, no, no. It phenomenal. Ahem, because you...This ideally. That is, you exactly the person for which one would I look for? improving the composition body. Yes. You know, I would plant you on a reverse diet . I wouldn't force you. to climb like this high as last time once, and then just you are close now 2000 calories, I would offered 2400–2500 and would simply strengthen muscles. And over time you you will see a pleasant change in body composition, which will not need ...By the way, what is your body, you are about 135 or ...

Um, about 130? Yes. Well, if you were like that good weight. It would be great if you would just saw how the body becomes more toned and Kylo, ​​I must say, with everything you do, you ideal candidate for coaching. If Someone led you through this process, it would be perfect because you have everything else, and, please correct me if I I am wrong, to manage exhausting. You have as if there is work, you have coped with everything: with treatment of SIBO and substitute hormonal therapy. Um, I have to I mean, what would you do?

in favor of simply translate part this on someone another, who would accompanied you in process and regularly met for adjustment nutrition and plan training. I don't think so. that you need something special. I believe that You are in great shape. Ahem , I think the program is on like MAPS Anabolic or Muscle Mommy at 2400 calories would give you great results. But what will do The trainer will conduct this. you through the process reverse dietary food. Perhaps, will add short periods of scarcity calories, adapts program so that instead of MAPS Muscle Mommy it is was MAPS Kayla, and will conduct you through this six- nine-month stage, after which you you'll say, "Wow, I have everything is fine, I I feel good, and my body works like this, as I want." Yes.

Good. Um, I don't. I know about the cost. coach services now, but this is what I can do to discuss with husband. Therefore, Of course. But you would perfect for this came up. Скажіть, а how many days you can a week to train in the gym? Well, I'm working on it now. what I call " lazy training". Um, I'm in I mainly do 15- minute classes. Sometimes I do double load to then have a day off or something like that. But I like it. I train at home, in I have a home gym.

So I go to the basement and I do several approaches per day. Ahem, almost five days on week. Oh, that's cool. I like it. Yes. How many steps? do you do every day? Ahem, my average for June it was 14,000. Oh, wow. Kylo, ​​you're just... Well done. Yes. Yes. Honestly, I don't I do nothing too much. aggressive. Yes. Regarding restrictions. I I think if you will to stay the course, especially now, when hormone replacement therapy is established, then for the next 6-12 months you will see really beautiful and successive changes in body composition.

The only mistake you You can do it, Kylo. , —is to try to force events. Yes. Yes. Trying too hard to press hard in any -in which direction? Yes. I think, partly. СІБР вперше. Hmm, well, . I was amazed myself, that was able to support such level. But I think that it was too much busy season. Yes. If you want try supplements for health intestine, Organifi has a new tool for cleansing from parasites, which I I really like it. Ahem, and he seems to be helps many listeners who have repeated problems with SIBERIA.

So Yes, it is natural. It simple addition. You it would be necessary take two courses. AND regarding training, here it is What's the matter? And this such a mentality. Like, man, I coped with all this. I'm getting out of this. the fog that lasted for years, and I it seems my body starts working just the way I wanted. Now I am going to press. on gas. This is a mistake. That's right. You don't want this. do. You will be progress and so on. You if you are consistent in because of what you do: 14,000 steps a day, you know, prove the calorie content up to 2400-2500 stable, meet your protein requirements, be consistent with protocol "Masa 15", "15 Muscle Mommy", "15 Powerlift", "15 Symmetry", any of the them.

Um, and just stay consistent. We Let's see how I am. said, within 6 months or next year a nice change of scenery body, so pleasant, stable change. AND to contact your thinking, because you asked about the whole year during certain seasons, this program, then and—protocol 15 great all year round suits you. That which changes—it's yours mood and intensity training. So when you have busy season and, maybe you don't you get enough rest or not you follow a diet, reduce the intensity. Do the moves. mechanically. You are going to training, just you do it, you pass it your steps, and when in you are less stressed period, you better rested, well-fed, you feel very okay—enlarge intensity.

Here here I am trying to become stronger, so I will add more weight on the barbell. This is how it is looks. This looks not as radical changing the program that need to switch or do a lot of cardio. No, it looks like this: when you are very, very busy and have many things, yours training almost therapeutic. You you just do the moves. You do exercises, but you don't teach yourself full. When are you you feel great and can vary from intensity depending on what happening around .

The only way you can do anything your condition is if you will try to hurry events. Yes. That's right. I am not I'm worried about you. nothing will come of it training. It sounds like you quite consistent. You are active every day. Your metabolism in in good condition. Hormones right now where they should be. The only way Kayla can do anything to spoil, is if she will try to hurry events. So, in this and That's the problem. Not ...If you don't hurry events, you will receive great results.

They will be good. and stable. If do you think that accelerate results , hurrying, you you are wrong, and that's just will hinder you. The only reason why I to dry up, was that you recently talked about your HIIT program, and I thought that was it could give a boost my drying phase or something like that, but maybe for this This stage is too much. Well, you're already in in great shape. You no need " dry". And I I feel that this common theme when I I talk to many people.
