Key Takeaway

Want rapid muscle gains? Do exercises you've never attempted before and master them. This 'novel stimulus' hack triggers neurological adaptations similar to beginner gains, even for experienced lifters. Choose movements with proven pedigree—like bent presses, circus presses, or weighted carries—that challenge stability and coordination. As you improve technique and add load, you'll see strength jumps that carry over to your traditional lifts.

Episode Overview

This episode explores seven unconventional muscle-building exercises that most people have never tried. The hosts discuss old-time strength movements that have fallen out of favor but offer tremendous benefits for building strength, stability, and muscle when mastered.

Main Insights

Novel Stimulus Creates Newbie Gains for Experienced Lifters

When you've been lifting consistently for 3-5 years, gains slow dramatically. One of the best hacks is finding exercises you're not good at and mastering them. This creates a novel stimulus that triggers rapid strength and muscle gains, similar to when you first started training. The key is choosing movements with proven effectiveness, not just weird exercises.

Overhead Stability Builds Bigger Shoulders Than Volume

Traditional bodybuilding advice says never lock out at the top to 'keep tension on the muscle.' But mastering heavy overhead carries and learning to stabilize significant weight overhead develops shoulders better than endless volume. The ability to hold and stabilize heavy loads overhead creates strength that carries over to all pressing movements and produces better muscle development.

The Simplest Fix for Shin Splints Nobody Uses

Shin splints plague runners and athletes, leading to endless ice baths, massage, shoe changes, and time off. The solution is remarkably simple: strengthen the tibialis anterior through tibialis raises. This addresses the actual weakness causing inflammation between the tibia and fibula. Combined with ankle mobility work, it eliminates shin splints almost immediately.

Farmer's Carries Build Total-Body Strength Like Nothing Else

Heavy farmer's carries activate your entire nervous system from fingertips to toes in a way few exercises can match. Unlike a static deadlift, the movement component requires lateral and rotational stability. Training with 500+ pounds in heavy carries creates a feeling of functional strength that transfers to everyday life—making you feel genuinely strong, not just gym-strong.

Notable Quotes

"Do an exercise you've never done before and get good at it. That's why we came up with the seven best muscle building exercises I'm pretty sure you've never done."

Host

"Lifts fall in and out of favor with strength training all the time. We've been doing it for so long that we've seen trends come and go. It's not because people stop doing an exercise because it's not effective. Often times it's because they just get popular because a particular lifter or social media person promotes something."

Host

"When you do an exercise you're not good at cuz you never done it, especially if you're an experienced lifter and you start to practice it and get good at it, you get these gains that happen."

Host

"There's some lifts that you can do that make you feel big and then there's lifts you can do that make you feel strong. And this one makes you feel strong in my everyday life. Like in my everyday life just moving around when I was getting good at this, I just felt really strong like I could move things and lift things and do things."

Action Items

Suggested exercises inspired by the conversation.

  • 1
    Add One Novel Exercise to Your Routine

    Choose one exercise from this list (bent press, circus press, Zottman curls, weighted windmills, overhead carries, farmer's carries, or tibialis raises) that you've never done before. Start with very light weight to learn proper technique. Practice 2x per week for 4-6 weeks, progressively adding load as your technique improves. Track strength gains and notice carryover to your main lifts.

  • 2
    Master Overhead Stability for Shoulder Development

    Incorporate overhead carries into your training twice per week. Start with a light dumbbell or kettlebell, lock your arm out completely overhead, and walk 20-30 yards maintaining stability. Gradually increase weight over weeks. Apply this principle to all overhead pressing—pause and stabilize at lockout for 1-2 seconds instead of immediately lowering the weight.

  • 3
    Eliminate Shin Splints with Tibialis Training

    If you run, hike, or do plyometrics and experience shin splints, add tibialis raises 2x per week. This simple movement strengthens the front of your shin. Combine with ankle mobility work (like the couch stretch) for complete shin splint prevention. Start with bodyweight and progress to weighted variations.

  • 4
    Build Functional Strength with Heavy Carries

    Add farmer's carries to your program once or twice weekly. Use heavy dumbbells, kettlebells, or trap bar. Start conservatively and work up to carrying significant weight (eventually approaching your deadlift max). Walk 20-50 yards with perfect posture. This builds grip strength, core stability, and total-body strength that transfers to daily life better than almost any other single exercise.

And I'm I'm just going to you know a little bit of like uh I guess history a little bit of like uh I guess history a little bit of like uh I guess history or context. Lifts fall in and out of or context. Lifts fall in and out of or context. Lifts fall in and out of favor with strength training all the favor with strength training all the favor with strength training all the time. We've been doing it for so long time. We've been doing it for so long time. We've been doing it for so long that we've seen trends come and go. that we've seen trends come and go. that we've seen trends come and go. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> Um and it's not because people stop >> Um and it's not because people stop >> Um and it's not because people stop doing an exercise because it's not doing an exercise because it's not doing an exercise because it's not effective and then they start doing some effective and then they start doing some effective and then they start doing some because they're effective. Sometimes because they're effective. Sometimes because they're effective. Sometimes that's the case. Uh but often times it's that's the case. Uh but often times it's that's the case. Uh but often times it's because they just get popular because a because they just get popular because a because they just get popular because a particular lifter or let's say social particular lifter or let's say social particular lifter or let's say social media person uh promotes something like media person uh promotes something like media person uh promotes something like I I'll give a good example, okay? Like I I'll give a good example, okay? Like I I'll give a good example, okay? Like uh we I was training people in the late uh we I was training people in the late uh we I was training people in the late 90s, okay? I started uh as a kid and for 90s, okay? I started uh as a kid and for 90s, okay? I started uh as a kid and for a long time nobody squatted or a long time nobody squatted or a long time nobody squatted or deadlifted. Nobody did barbell squats or deadlifted. Nobody did barbell squats or deadlifted. Nobody did barbell squats or barbell d and it wasn't because they barbell d and it wasn't because they barbell d and it wasn't because they weren't effective. Everybody knows now weren't effective. Everybody knows now weren't effective. Everybody knows now they're super effective. It's just they're super effective. It's just they're super effective. It's just bodybuilders weren't really doing them bodybuilders weren't really doing them bodybuilders weren't really doing them at that time. They were using leg at that time. They were using leg at that time. They were using leg presses and other machines. And so presses and other machines. And so presses and other machines. And so people just kind of stopped doing those people just kind of stopped doing those people just kind of stopped doing those two. two. two. >> Gyms weren't set up for it as much. >> Gyms weren't set up for it as much. >> Gyms weren't set up for it as much. >> That's right. So people kind of stopped >> That's right. So people kind of stopped >> That's right. So people kind of stopped doing them. Uh so that's kind of, you doing them. Uh so that's kind of, you doing them. Uh so that's kind of, you know, one example of of how and why. And know, one example of of how and why. And know, one example of of how and why. And so I I at one point in my career as a so I I at one point in my career as a so I I at one point in my career as a trainer. I started to study uh lifters trainer. I started to study uh lifters trainer. I started to study uh lifters from like the bronze era, the silver from like the bronze era, the silver from like the bronze era, the silver era, the golden era. I started looking era, the golden era. I started looking era, the golden era. I started looking at Olympic lifters and some of the at Olympic lifters and some of the at Olympic lifters and some of the auxiliary movements that they did and auxiliary movements that they did and auxiliary movements that they did and powerlifters. Uh, and I started to find powerlifters. Uh, and I started to find powerlifters. Uh, and I started to find all these exercises I'd never heard of all these exercises I'd never heard of all these exercises I'd never heard of or done before. or done before. or done before. >> Man type lift. >> Man type lift. >> Man type lift. >> Yeah. And I would practice them and I'd >> Yeah. And I would practice them and I'd >> Yeah. And I would practice them and I'd get these crazy benefits. And part of get these crazy benefits. And part of get these crazy benefits. And part of the benefits were, well, number one, a the benefits were, well, number one, a the benefits were, well, number one, a lot of the reasons why lifters did these lot of the reasons why lifters did these lot of the reasons why lifters did these in the first place, especially bronze in the first place, especially bronze in the first place, especially bronze era or especially strength athletes, era or especially strength athletes, era or especially strength athletes, because they saw carryover. They would because they saw carryover. They would because they saw carryover. They would do them because they were exercises that do them because they were exercises that do them because they were exercises that made them strong. Um, so that's, you made them strong. Um, so that's, you made them strong. Um, so that's, you know, kind of one reason. Um, and number know, kind of one reason. Um, and number know, kind of one reason. Um, and number two, um, they got great results, uh, on two, um, they got great results, uh, on two, um, they got great results, uh, on their bodies. And so studying these their bodies. And so studying these their bodies. And so studying these um I was able to include some of these um I was able to include some of these um I was able to include some of these exercises never done and you get those exercises never done and you get those exercises never done and you get those newbie gains. Again, when you do an newbie gains. Again, when you do an newbie gains. Again, when you do an exercise you're not good at cuz you exercise you're not good at cuz you exercise you're not good at cuz you never done it, especially if you're an never done it, especially if you're an never done it, especially if you're an experienced lifter and you start to experienced lifter and you start to experienced lifter and you start to practice it and get good at it, you get practice it and get good at it, you get practice it and get good at it, you get these gains uh that happen. Uh these gains uh that happen. Uh these gains uh that happen. Uh >> yeah. And a lot of times it addresses >> yeah. And a lot of times it addresses >> yeah. And a lot of times it addresses like uh weaknesses that you don't like uh weaknesses that you don't like uh weaknesses that you don't realize um will fill a lot of gaps for realize um will fill a lot of gaps for realize um will fill a lot of gaps for conventional style training. And so like conventional style training. And so like conventional style training. And so like you start to kind of venture off and do you start to kind of venture off and do you start to kind of venture off and do a little bit more obscure type lifts, a little bit more obscure type lifts, a little bit more obscure type lifts, but um they probably fell out of favor but um they probably fell out of favor but um they probably fell out of favor because they're a little uncomfortable. because they're a little uncomfortable. because they're a little uncomfortable. You know, it's a little challenging for You know, it's a little challenging for You know, it's a little challenging for you to get in these body positions, but you to get in these body positions, but you to get in these body positions, but once you, you know, adapt to it, get once you, you know, adapt to it, get once you, you know, adapt to it, get strong at it, it's amazing what now you strong at it, it's amazing what now you strong at it, it's amazing what now you can take that into just your can take that into just your can take that into just your conventional lifts. conventional lifts. conventional lifts. >> Oh, especially these that we're >> Oh, especially these that we're >> Oh, especially these that we're highlighting right now. I mean, I' I'd highlighting right now. I mean, I' I'd highlighting right now. I mean, I' I'd argue that I don't there's going to be argue that I don't there's going to be argue that I don't there's going to be very few people that attempt any of very few people that attempt any of very few people that attempt any of these and don't and don't these and don't and don't these and don't and don't >> because they feel good at them. >> because they feel good at them. >> because they feel good at them. >> Yeah. Yeah. No, most people this they'll >> Yeah. Yeah. No, most people this they'll >> Yeah. Yeah. No, most people this they'll be and so even more reason to stick. be and so even more reason to stick. be and so even more reason to stick. Listen, if you're if you've been lifting Listen, if you're if you've been lifting Listen, if you're if you've been lifting for more than 3 to 5 years, you know, for more than 3 to 5 years, you know, for more than 3 to 5 years, you know, the the the gains come on much slower at the the the gains come on much slower at the the the gains come on much slower at that point, right? If you've been that point, right? If you've been that point, right? If you've been consistently lifting, like after 3 to 5 consistently lifting, like after 3 to 5 consistently lifting, like after 3 to 5 years, the gains are slow. And so, years, the gains are slow. And so, years, the gains are slow. And so, >> you're always looking for ways to to to >> you're always looking for ways to to to >> you're always looking for ways to to to see a a jump in strength or a change in see a a jump in strength or a change in see a a jump in strength or a change in your physique.

Uh and and a novel stimulus that has all kinds of benefits and carryover has all kinds of benefits and carryover has all kinds of benefits and carryover is like a win-win. It's like these these is like a win-win. It's like these these is like a win-win. It's like these these are not just like novel stimulus because are not just like novel stimulus because are not just like novel stimulus because you could do weird exercises that are you could do weird exercises that are you could do weird exercises that are novel, but these are great movements novel, but these are great movements novel, but these are great movements that pedigree. that pedigree. that pedigree. >> Yeah. And that and that carry over to >> Yeah. And that and that carry over to >> Yeah. And that and that carry over to Justin's point to other traditional Justin's point to other traditional Justin's point to other traditional lifts that like you get good at these lifts that like you get good at these lifts that like you get good at these and you'll see the bench press and the and you'll see the bench press and the and you'll see the bench press and the squat and the deadlift go up. and all squat and the deadlift go up. and all squat and the deadlift go up. and all those. those. those. >> So doing, you know, a phase of some of >> So doing, you know, a phase of some of >> So doing, you know, a phase of some of these movements uh incorporated into these movements uh incorporated into these movements uh incorporated into your routine and getting good and strong your routine and getting good and strong your routine and getting good and strong at them uh of tremendous benefits. at them uh of tremendous benefits. at them uh of tremendous benefits. >> Totally. So I'll start with the first >> Totally. So I'll start with the first >> Totally. So I'll start with the first one and this is probably the best one and this is probably the best one and this is probably the best example that I can think of of a lift example that I can think of of a lift example that I can think of of a lift that went from being the most popular, that went from being the most popular, that went from being the most popular, >> one of the most well-known lifts to >> one of the most well-known lifts to >> one of the most well-known lifts to complete obscurity, complete obscurity, complete obscurity, >> completely forgotten.

So you could see in strongman competitions, they'll do in strongman competitions, they'll do in strongman competitions, they'll do something called a circus press. And something called a circus press. And something called a circus press. And often times they're pressing uh kind of often times they're pressing uh kind of often times they're pressing uh kind of like a circus looking dumbbell. Yeah. like a circus looking dumbbell. Yeah. like a circus looking dumbbell. Yeah. >> Uh you know, like the Thomas inch >> Uh you know, like the Thomas inch >> Uh you know, like the Thomas inch dumbbell. dumbbell. dumbbell. >> They're pretty much cleaning it to the >> They're pretty much cleaning it to the >> They're pretty much cleaning it to the shoulder and then they're push pressing shoulder and then they're push pressing shoulder and then they're push pressing it out of that. it out of that. it out of that. >> Now I the reason why, and you you can >> Now I the reason why, and you you can >> Now I the reason why, and you you can speak to this, Adam, the reason why I speak to this, Adam, the reason why I speak to this, Adam, the reason why I like this is it built my it builds my like this is it built my it builds my like this is it built my it builds my shoulders. Oh, dude. I mean, it So, if shoulders. Oh, dude. I mean, it So, if shoulders. Oh, dude. I mean, it So, if you don't know how to cuz bench press uh you don't know how to cuz bench press uh you don't know how to cuz bench press uh the or the bent press is a more the or the bent press is a more the or the bent press is a more technical lift. technical lift. technical lift. >> Yes. >> Yes. >> Yes. >> And so, and and admittedly, I'm not >> And so, and and admittedly, I'm not >> And so, and and admittedly, I'm not great at that. Like, it's I have to great at that. Like, it's I have to great at that. Like, it's I have to still do really light weight when I do still do really light weight when I do still do really light weight when I do it because my technique isn't there, but it because my technique isn't there, but it because my technique isn't there, but I can circus press a good amount of I can circus press a good amount of I can circus press a good amount of weight because it's a little bit easier weight because it's a little bit easier weight because it's a little bit easier technique, technique, technique, >> way less technical. And so therefore, >> way less technical. And so therefore, >> way less technical. And so therefore, being the aesthetic guy who likes to see being the aesthetic guy who likes to see being the aesthetic guy who likes to see my shoulders develop like that, I saw my shoulders develop like that, I saw my shoulders develop like that, I saw lots of benefit from the circus press lots of benefit from the circus press lots of benefit from the circus press because I could quickly get the because I could quickly get the because I could quickly get the technique down technique down technique down >> and I could start to really load it >> and I could start to really load it >> and I could start to really load it pretty quick. And then now I'm able to pretty quick. And then now I'm able to pretty quick. And then now I'm able to single arm press [snorts] a dumbbell single arm press [snorts] a dumbbell single arm press [snorts] a dumbbell over my head more than I could in any over my head more than I could in any over my head more than I could in any sort of strict way. sort of strict way. sort of strict way. >> You get more of that fast twitch uh >> You get more of that fast twitch uh >> You get more of that fast twitch uh stimulus, which a lot of people neglect. stimulus, which a lot of people neglect. stimulus, which a lot of people neglect. >> I thought I thought Didn't I see you do >> I thought I thought Didn't I see you do >> I thought I thought Didn't I see you do this with 120 lb dumbbell? this with 120 lb dumbbell? this with 120 lb dumbbell? >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. It's got such a moose. >> Yeah. It's got such a moose. >> Yeah. It's got such a moose. >> Yeah. I ever got that heavy. [laughter] >> Yeah. I ever got that heavy. [laughter] >> Yeah. I ever got that heavy. [laughter] >> I love these kind of lifts. So, yeah, >> I love these kind of lifts. So, yeah, >> I love these kind of lifts. So, yeah, it's it's right up my alley. it's it's right up my alley. it's it's right up my alley. >> Next up, we have Zman curls. So, Zman >> Next up, we have Zman curls. So, Zman >> Next up, we have Zman curls. So, Zman curls are curls with where you're curls are curls with where you're curls are curls with where you're supernating on the way up, pronating on supernating on the way up, pronating on supernating on the way up, pronating on the way down. This is phenomenal uh for the way down. This is phenomenal uh for the way down. This is phenomenal uh for the brachioreialis, the brachiialis, and the brachioreialis, the brachiialis, and the brachioreialis, the brachiialis, and just creating strong wrists and just creating strong wrists and just creating strong wrists and forearms. And it fell out of favor forearms. And it fell out of favor forearms. And it fell out of favor because it's not bicep centric like a because it's not bicep centric like a because it's not bicep centric like a traditional curl. So, anytime someone traditional curl. So, anytime someone traditional curl. So, anytime someone does curls, they're like, I'm just does curls, they're like, I'm just does curls, they're like, I'm just building my biceps. and their their building my biceps. and their their building my biceps. and their their their ability to pronate supenate which their ability to pronate supenate which their ability to pronate supenate which requires the biceps and some other requires the biceps and some other requires the biceps and some other muscles and the strength of the wrist muscles and the strength of the wrist muscles and the strength of the wrist especially in the strength of the wrist especially in the strength of the wrist especially in the strength of the wrist in a pronated position is super in a pronated position is super in a pronated position is super neglected. Uh a lot of people who are neglected. Uh a lot of people who are neglected. Uh a lot of people who are really strong who lift weights you put really strong who lift weights you put really strong who lift weights you put their wrist in a pronated position and their wrist in a pronated position and their wrist in a pronated position and suddenly they're flimsy. Um and this suddenly they're flimsy. Um and this suddenly they're flimsy. Um and this will strengthen the heck uh out of your will strengthen the heck uh out of your will strengthen the heck uh out of your arms. And lifters did this back in the arms. And lifters did this back in the arms. And lifters did this back in the day because well back in the day they day because well back in the day they day because well back in the day they needed strong wrists to do all the other needed strong wrists to do all the other needed strong wrists to do all the other lifts they were going to do. So I love lifts they were going to do. So I love lifts they were going to do. So I love this exercise. How how often have you this exercise. How how often have you this exercise. How how often have you seen this movement too uh benefit seen this movement too uh benefit seen this movement too uh benefit somebody who has issues with like uh somebody who has issues with like uh somebody who has issues with like uh tennis elbow, golfer's elbow? Like you tennis elbow, golfer's elbow? Like you tennis elbow, golfer's elbow? Like you >> cuz a lot of times that's due to >> cuz a lot of times that's due to >> cuz a lot of times that's due to weakness in and in and instability in weakness in and in and instability in weakness in and in and instability in the wrist and if you don't ever train the wrist and if you don't ever train the wrist and if you don't ever train like everybody trains in the same plane like everybody trains in the same plane like everybody trains in the same plane when they do curls when they do curls when they do curls >> and articulating the wrist pronating and >> and articulating the wrist pronating and >> and articulating the wrist pronating and supernating like that uh through the supernating like that uh through the supernating like that uh through the movement um it tends to eliminate that movement um it tends to eliminate that movement um it tends to eliminate that or keep people from more stability. or keep people from more stability. or keep people from more stability. Yeah. Yes. Keeps them from dealing with Yeah. Yes. Keeps them from dealing with Yeah. Yes. Keeps them from dealing with that issue. So I think it's a great that issue. So I think it's a great that issue. So I think it's a great movement for that. movement for that. movement for that. >> Totally. Uh then we have weighted >> Totally. Uh then we have weighted >> Totally. Uh then we have weighted windmills windmills windmills >> also. >> also. >> also. >> Now I never attempted a windmill until >> Now I never attempted a windmill until >> Now I never attempted a windmill until what program was it that was it? Prime. what program was it that was it? Prime. what program was it that was it? Prime. >> Yeah. Prime we did the test and Yeah. >> Yeah. Prime we did the test and Yeah. >> Yeah. Prime we did the test and Yeah. And we started to use that as like a And we started to use that as like a And we started to use that as like a gauge. gauge. gauge. >> Yep. It was Prime.

Was that eight years ago? Well, we did we did we I years ago? Well, we did we did we I years ago? Well, we did we did we I think we did it even earlier on Mind think we did it even earlier on Mind think we did it even earlier on Mind Pump TV. Pump TV.

And this is why I you like to deadlift. And this is why I you like to deadlift. And this is why I liked it liked it liked it >> because uh I have a strong deadlift. >> because uh I have a strong deadlift. >> because uh I have a strong deadlift. It's my best lift.

So if you don't have our program >> right? So if you don't have our program >> right? So if you don't have our program and you're not following because we we and you're not following because we we and you're not following because we we program it that way, right? So if you program it that way, right? So if you program it that way, right? So if you don't have it then and you're you're don't have it then and you're you're don't have it then and you're you're taking the list that we're giving right taking the list that we're giving right taking the list that we're giving right now before you jump to trying to get now before you jump to trying to get now before you jump to trying to get good at ben press first get good at good at ben press first get good at good at ben press first get good at weighted windmill. If you get good at weighted windmill. If you get good at weighted windmill. If you get good at weighted windmills, then you can weighted windmills, then you can weighted windmills, then you can progress to a bent press. Bent press is progress to a bent press. Bent press is progress to a bent press. Bent press is definitely a progression to that definitely a progression to that definitely a progression to that movement%. Uh then we have heavy movement%. Uh then we have heavy movement%. Uh then we have heavy overhead carries. overhead carries. overhead carries. >> Now uh this got this got my interest a >> Now uh this got this got my interest a >> Now uh this got this got my interest a while ago and I'll tell you why in just while ago and I'll tell you why in just while ago and I'll tell you why in just a second, but I didn't really implement a second, but I didn't really implement a second, but I didn't really implement them until Justin encouraged uh us to them until Justin encouraged uh us to them until Justin encouraged uh us to try these. So I always liked overhead try these. So I always liked overhead try these. So I always liked overhead pressing. I thought it would, you know, pressing. I thought it would, you know, pressing. I thought it would, you know, it's a cool exercise to get strong at it's a cool exercise to get strong at it's a cool exercise to get strong at and it is. And I didn't really piece and it is. And I didn't really piece and it is. And I didn't really piece together that uh I needed strength at together that uh I needed strength at together that uh I needed strength at the top where I was stable uh where I the top where I was stable uh where I the top where I was stable uh where I could hold something. That's what this could hold something. That's what this could hold something. That's what this does exactly. So once I implemented I does exactly. So once I implemented I does exactly. So once I implemented I saw these huge strength gains but the saw these huge strength gains but the saw these huge strength gains but the first time that my interest was peaked first time that my interest was peaked first time that my interest was peaked was watching Olympic lifters do overhead was watching Olympic lifters do overhead was watching Olympic lifters do overhead squats. So Olympic lifters will do you squats. So Olympic lifters will do you squats. So Olympic lifters will do you know what the Olympic lifts are. So we know what the Olympic lifts are. So we know what the Olympic lifts are. So we know the you know the the cleaning jerk know the you know the the cleaning jerk know the you know the the cleaning jerk the snatch we know all the all the the snatch we know all the all the the snatch we know all the all the Olympic lifts but they also break those Olympic lifts but they also break those Olympic lifts but they also break those lifts down in their workouts. And one lifts down in their workouts. And one lifts down in their workouts. And one way they do this is they do something way they do this is they do something way they do this is they do something called an overhead squat. So they'll called an overhead squat. So they'll called an overhead squat. So they'll have a barbell set up on blocks. They'll have a barbell set up on blocks. They'll have a barbell set up on blocks. They'll get underneath it and squat it up. And get underneath it and squat it up. And get underneath it and squat it up. And the amount of weight they can hold the amount of weight they can hold the amount of weight they can hold overhead, overhead, overhead, >> it's unreal. Yeah. >> it's unreal. Yeah. >> it's unreal. Yeah. >> Is unreal. Yeah. It's unreal. It's more >> Is unreal. Yeah. It's unreal. It's more >> Is unreal. Yeah. It's unreal. It's more weight than I could squat on my back. weight than I could squat on my back. weight than I could squat on my back. Yeah. And that just You want to talk Yeah. And that just You want to talk Yeah. And that just You want to talk about shoulder about shoulder about shoulder >> defies physics almost. It's it's it's >> defies physics almost. It's it's it's >> defies physics almost. It's it's it's quite trippy. I know. I I geek out on quite trippy. I know. I I geek out on quite trippy. I know. I I geek out on that stuff, too. Especially when you that stuff, too. Especially when you that stuff, too. Especially when you really know how to pack the shoulders really know how to pack the shoulders really know how to pack the shoulders properly and really utilize, you know, properly and really utilize, you know, properly and really utilize, you know, your back and all the surrounding your back and all the surrounding your back and all the surrounding muscles to support it. Uh so you train muscles to support it. Uh so you train muscles to support it. Uh so you train that and and you train it with locom that and and you train it with locom that and and you train it with locom motion and it actually like adds those motion and it actually like adds those motion and it actually like adds those variables those lateral stability the variables those lateral stability the variables those lateral stability the rotational stability you have to account rotational stability you have to account rotational stability you have to account for. So this has always been one of for. So this has always been one of for. So this has always been one of those that I I always go back to this those that I I always go back to this those that I I always go back to this and then even then you know adding in a and then even then you know adding in a and then even then you know adding in a longer lever to that. So like in in old longer lever to that. So like in in old longer lever to that. So like in in old time strength we have you know the just time strength we have you know the just time strength we have you know the just the barbell itself it's 45 lbs but just the barbell itself it's 45 lbs but just the barbell itself it's 45 lbs but just holding that with that long lever puts holding that with that long lever puts holding that with that long lever puts an added level of stress on the wrist an added level of stress on the wrist an added level of stress on the wrist stability and everything else. So, it's stability and everything else. So, it's stability and everything else. So, it's such a great movement. such a great movement. such a great movement. >> Yeah. Adding these to my uh uh regimen >> Yeah. Adding these to my uh uh regimen >> Yeah. Adding these to my uh uh regimen got my overhead press go up 10 lbs, got my overhead press go up 10 lbs, got my overhead press go up 10 lbs, which is a that's a lift that I have which is a that's a lift that I have which is a that's a lift that I have difficulty um going up in. And it's just difficulty um going up in. And it's just difficulty um going up in. And it's just again what Justin said, walking with the again what Justin said, walking with the again what Justin said, walking with the weight makes it move, which requires weight makes it move, which requires weight makes it move, which requires more stability. So, you just lock your more stability. So, you just lock your more stability. So, you just lock your arm out, hold it up above your head, arm out, hold it up above your head, arm out, hold it up above your head, walk uh real steady, switch arms. You walk uh real steady, switch arms. You walk uh real steady, switch arms. You could do a dumbbell um or you could do could do a dumbbell um or you could do could do a dumbbell um or you could do it with a barbell. it with a barbell. it with a barbell. >> Doing these changed the way I even >> Doing these changed the way I even >> Doing these changed the way I even shoulder press and stuff. And what I shoulder press and stuff. And what I shoulder press and stuff. And what I mean by that is I saw so much value in mean by that is I saw so much value in mean by that is I saw so much value in the inrange as stability component of a the inrange as stability component of a the inrange as stability component of a press press press >> because traditionally coming from a kind >> because traditionally coming from a kind >> because traditionally coming from a kind of bodybuilder mentality at the top. of bodybuilder mentality at the top. of bodybuilder mentality at the top. >> You never stay at the top. You you're >> You never stay at the top. You you're >> You never stay at the top. You you're always, you know, the the thought always, you know, the the thought always, you know, the the thought process, oh, keeping tension on the process, oh, keeping tension on the process, oh, keeping tension on the muscle and so you right. And so you muscle and so you right. And so you muscle and so you right. And so you would always be just a little shy of would always be just a little shy of would always be just a little shy of locking out and you would come right locking out and you would come right locking out and you would come right back down in every almost every movement back down in every almost every movement back down in every almost every movement that you do, especially something like a that you do, especially something like a that you do, especially something like a a shoulder press. And man, I one of the a shoulder press. And man, I one of the a shoulder press. And man, I one of the things that blew my shoulders up was things that blew my shoulders up was things that blew my shoulders up was being able to stabilize really heavy being able to stabilize really heavy being able to stabilize really heavy weight over my head. And so even today weight over my head. And so even today weight over my head. And so even today now when I do even even if I'm seated now when I do even even if I'm seated now when I do even even if I'm seated and I'm being lazy and I do a seated and I'm being lazy and I do a seated and I'm being lazy and I do a seated press, I will always stabilize and hold press, I will always stabilize and hold press, I will always stabilize and hold the top now just because I think there's the top now just because I think there's the top now just because I think there's just you get a better pump too. just you get a better pump too. just you get a better pump too. >> Yes, you get a better pump from it. I've >> Yes, you get a better pump from it. I've >> Yes, you get a better pump from it. I've seen better development from it. It's seen better development from it. It's seen better development from it. It's better for the shoulders. And so I think better for the shoulders. And so I think better for the shoulders. And so I think there's tremendous value and and I think there's tremendous value and and I think there's tremendous value and and I think a great place to start is just overhead a great place to start is just overhead a great place to start is just overhead carries. Getting good at stabilizing the carries. Getting good at stabilizing the carries. Getting good at stabilizing the weight, adding the walking component in weight, adding the walking component in weight, adding the walking component in there. You learn to kind of do that and there. You learn to kind of do that and there. You learn to kind of do that and then you can start to carry that over then you can start to carry that over then you can start to carry that over into your push presses, your circus into your push presses, your circus into your push presses, your circus presses, all these different movements presses, all these different movements presses, all these different movements where you'll you'll stabilize that where you'll you'll stabilize that where you'll you'll stabilize that weight at the top and I think you get weight at the top and I think you get weight at the top and I think you get lots of benefit. lots of benefit. lots of benefit. >> Totally. Next is a lift I love and I >> Totally. Next is a lift I love and I >> Totally. Next is a lift I love and I implement this. I haven't done it in a implement this. I haven't done it in a implement this. I haven't done it in a routine in a long time, but there was a routine in a long time, but there was a routine in a long time, but there was a period of time. You were doing that for period of time. You were doing that for period of time. You were doing that for a for a hot minute when we when we had a for a hot minute when we when we had a for a hot minute when we when we had the green turf out here. You were on a the green turf out here. You were on a the green turf out here. You were on a kick of how much you could do that with. kick of how much you could do that with. kick of how much you could do that with. >> Well, it just uh it got it got my >> Well, it just uh it got it got my >> Well, it just uh it got it got my deadlift uh really strong. It's it deadlift uh really strong. It's it deadlift uh really strong. It's it stabil it created crazy stability in my stabil it created crazy stability in my stabil it created crazy stability in my spine. It made my hands really strong. spine. It made my hands really strong. spine. It made my hands really strong. >> Oh yeah. >> Oh yeah. >> Oh yeah. >> And just overall, >> And just overall, >> And just overall, there's some lifts that I can do.

There's some lifts that you can do that There's some lifts that you can do that There's some lifts that you can do that make you feel big and then there's lifts make you feel big and then there's lifts make you feel big and then there's lifts you can do that make you feel strong. you can do that make you feel strong. you can do that make you feel strong. >> Yeah. And this one makes you I don't >> Yeah. And this one makes you I don't >> Yeah. And this one makes you I don't mean it making me feel strong because mean it making me feel strong because mean it making me feel strong because I'm lifting a lot of weight. I mean in I'm lifting a lot of weight. I mean in I'm lifting a lot of weight. I mean in my everyday life. Yeah. Like in my my everyday life. Yeah. Like in my my everyday life. Yeah. Like in my everyday life just moving around when I everyday life just moving around when I everyday life just moving around when I was getting good at this. I just felt was getting good at this. I just felt was getting good at this. I just felt really strong like I could move things really strong like I could move things really strong like I could move things and lift things and do things. I just and lift things and do things. I just and lift things and do things. I just felt super strong because I was strong felt super strong because I was strong felt super strong because I was strong at strong in movement. Yeah. I think at strong in movement. Yeah. I think at strong in movement. Yeah. I think there's there's something to that. I there's there's something to that. I there's there's something to that. I think there's think there's think there's >> it's great to to really focus, you know, >> it's great to to really focus, you know, >> it's great to to really focus, you know, and highlight like musculature and like and highlight like musculature and like and highlight like musculature and like I'm trying to build this up in this I'm trying to build this up in this I'm trying to build this up in this stationary position, but you know, now stationary position, but you know, now stationary position, but you know, now you add that in movement. And to your you add that in movement. And to your you add that in movement. And to your point, I I feel the same way. Like I point, I I feel the same way. Like I point, I I feel the same way. Like I feel like when I focus more on like uh feel like when I focus more on like uh feel like when I focus more on like uh moving type exercises with heavy loads, moving type exercises with heavy loads, moving type exercises with heavy loads, uh the regular life is so much easier uh the regular life is so much easier uh the regular life is so much easier [laughter] everything you're doing. [laughter] everything you're doing. [laughter] everything you're doing. Well, I'm trying to think of something Well, I'm trying to think of something Well, I'm trying to think of something that challenges it like the the central that challenges it like the the central that challenges it like the the central nervous system being lit up with that nervous system being lit up with that nervous system being lit up with that much intensity from your fingertips all much intensity from your fingertips all much intensity from your fingertips all the way down to your toes. the way down to your toes. the way down to your toes. >> Uh like that.

Uh the leucine content has to be high otherwise leucine content has to be high otherwise leucine content has to be high otherwise it really doesn't do much. So leucine is it really doesn't do much. So leucine is it really doesn't do much. So leucine is the trigger amino acid. Leucine is what the trigger amino acid. Leucine is what the trigger amino acid. Leucine is what tells the body to go into muscle protein tells the body to go into muscle protein tells the body to go into muscle protein synthesis. Then it has the essential synthesis.

I think we were I think we were already on that track the last 10 years already on that track the last 10 years already on that track the last 10 years and and I think cuz we you talked about and and I think cuz we you talked about and and I think cuz we you talked about that you you talked about that being uh that you you talked about that being uh that you you talked about that being uh I mean early on in the the podcast you I mean early on in the the podcast you I mean early on in the the podcast you talked about that being like the the talked about that being like the the talked about that being like the the thing that we would demonize because thing that we would demonize because thing that we would demonize because because at some point because at some point because at some point >> Yeah. because we're there was such a >> Yeah. because we're there was such a >> Yeah. because we're there was such a hard push for it and then we'll we'll hard push for it and then we'll we'll hard push for it and then we'll we'll counter and come the other direction counter and come the other direction counter and come the other direction >> towards crickets now >> towards crickets now >> towards crickets now >> which I I see I no I see I see the push >> which I I see I no I see I see the push >> which I I see I no I see I see the push back on the high protein already. Yeah. back on the high protein already. Yeah. back on the high protein already. Yeah. Because it's become so popular now. Now Because it's become so popular now.

And now you have the other talking the other side that's other talking the other side that's other talking the other side that's coming back and being like, "Oh, this coming back and being like, "Oh, this coming back and being like, "Oh, this high protein is a bunch of BS." And high protein is a bunch of BS." And high protein is a bunch of BS." And >> so it's like >> so it's like >> so it's like >> you think of shortages, right? You think >> you think of shortages, right? You think >> you think of shortages, right? You think of people stockpiling and like freaking of people stockpiling and like freaking of people stockpiling and like freaking out. There's going to be a bunch of out.

Yeah. Like Yeah. Like Yeah. Like >> with toilet paper. Doug pulled up. Uh >> with toilet paper. Doug pulled up. Uh >> with toilet paper. Doug pulled up. Uh the hosts of Mind Pump podcast the hosts of Mind Pump podcast the hosts of Mind Pump podcast frequently discussed the demonization of frequently discussed the demonization of frequently discussed the demonization of protein. They initially featured this protein. They initially featured this protein. They initially featured this topic on the main subject in episode one topic on the main subject in episode one topic on the main subject in episode one >> aired in 2020. >> aired in 2020. >> aired in 2020. >> Wow, that's what AI actually said. Well, >> Wow, that's what AI actually said. Well, >> Wow, that's what AI actually said. Well, that's cool. Did you type our name in? that's cool. Did you type our name in? that's cool. Did you type our name in? Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. >> Yeah, I did. Yeah. >> Yeah, I did. Yeah. >> Yeah, I did. Yeah. >> Oh, Doug, I thought we were cool for a >> Oh, Doug, I thought we were cool for a >> Oh, Doug, I thought we were cool for a second. [laughter] second. [laughter] second. [laughter] >> Well, no, I had to give it some. >> Well, no, I had to give it some. >> Well, no, I had to give it some. >> Yeah, [clears throat] but anyway, so >> Yeah, [clears throat] but anyway, so >> Yeah, [clears throat] but anyway, so there's new technology and how they're there's new technology and how they're there's new technology and how they're going to improve the palletability of going to improve the palletability of going to improve the palletability of whey protein. And believe it or not, whey protein. And believe it or not, whey protein. And believe it or not, this is a science daily. this is a science daily. this is a science daily. >> Make it make it better. Even >> Make it make it better. Even >> Make it make it better. Even >> make it taste better. >> make it taste better. >> make it taste better. >> It already tastes good. >> It already tastes good. >> It already tastes good. >> No, it's going to taste even better. So, >> No, it's going to taste even better. So, >> No, it's going to taste even better. So, this isn't science daily. This is so this isn't science daily. This is so this isn't science daily. This is so weird, right? So, this is weird, right? So, this is weird, right? So, this is >> Oh, so yeah. So the title of this in in >> Oh, so yeah. So the title of this in in >> Oh, so yeah. So the title of this in in in science news the secret behind in science news the secret behind in science news the secret behind smoother better tasting protein shakes. smoother better tasting protein shakes. smoother better tasting protein shakes. This was out of the University of This was out of the University of This was out of the University of Reading and it's a new way protein Reading and it's a new way protein Reading and it's a new way protein manufacturing technique would make manufacturing technique would make manufacturing technique would make protein shakes taste better and feel protein shakes taste better and feel protein shakes taste better and feel smoother in the mouth. So they they've smoother in the mouth. So they they've smoother in the mouth. So they they've traced unwanted bitterness to traced unwanted bitterness to traced unwanted bitterness to concentrated minerals and found a way to concentrated minerals and found a way to concentrated minerals and found a way to remove them without sacrificing the remove them without sacrificing the remove them without sacrificing the improved texture. So they have this improved texture. So they have this improved texture. So they have this technique of improving the texture of technique of improving the texture of technique of improving the texture of it. So whey protein is kind of thin, you it. So whey protein is kind of thin, you it. So whey protein is kind of thin, you know, like like casein is is got great know, like like casein is is got great know, like like casein is is got great mouth feel. Have you ever had casein mouth feel. Have you ever had casein mouth feel. Have you ever had casein protein? It's got like a nice creamy protein? It's got like a nice creamy protein? It's got like a nice creamy texture. Whey is kind of thin. texture. Whey is kind of thin. texture. Whey is kind of thin. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> They found a way through uh processing >> They found a way through uh processing >> They found a way through uh processing to make the whey protein to make the whey protein to make the whey protein >> uh have that nice mouth feel, but then >> uh have that nice mouth feel, but then >> uh have that nice mouth feel, but then because it's got a little bit of because it's got a little bit of because it's got a little bit of bitterness because of these minerals bitterness because of these minerals bitterness because of these minerals that they've also removed. So now that they've also removed. So now that they've also removed. So now they're like, "Oh, cool. We're going to they're like, "Oh, cool. We're going to they're like, "Oh, cool. We're going to make whey protein even more palatable." make whey protein even more palatable." make whey protein even more palatable." >> Interesting. I know >> Interesting. I know >> Interesting. I know >> cuz I think they've I there's there's >> cuz I think they've I there's there's >> cuz I think they've I there's there's some companies that have just really hit some companies that have just really hit some companies that have just really hit it out the park with the way protein it out the park with the way protein it out the park with the way protein shakes taste now. I mean I I remember shakes taste now. I mean I I remember shakes taste now. I mean I I remember protein shakes protein shakes protein shakes >> you remember? >> you remember? >> you remember? >> Yeah. I remember protein shakes when we >> Yeah. I remember protein shakes when we >> Yeah. I remember protein shakes when we were younger and they were not they were were younger and they were not they were were younger and they were not they were you had to choke them down. You remember you had to choke them down. You remember you had to choke them down. You remember I know you did. I I had them all dude. I know you did. I I had them all dude. I know you did.

It was so thick and hard to choke down. thick and hard to choke down. thick and hard to choke down. >> I My first protein shake was my my dad >> I My first protein shake was my my dad >> I My first protein shake was my my dad bought it. So my dad I told you guys he bought it. So my dad I told you guys he bought it. So my dad I told you guys he had like a short literally three month had like a short literally three month had like a short literally three month st of lifting weights cuz one of his one st of lifting weights cuz one of his one st of lifting weights cuz one of his one of his helpers talked about how much he of his helpers talked about how much he of his helpers talked about how much he could bench press. And so my dad bought could bench press. And so my dad bought could bench press. And so my dad bought a weight set that he ended up only using a weight set that he ended up only using a weight set that he ended up only using for three months that I used later on. for three months that I used later on. for three months that I used later on. And uh and he bought a protein because And uh and he bought a protein because And uh and he bought a protein because the guy told him, "You got to take you the guy told him, "You got to take you the guy told him, "You got to take you had to take protein shakes." My dad's had to take protein shakes." My dad's had to take protein shakes." My dad's like, "Okay." So he went to the sporting like, "Okay." So he went to the sporting like, "Okay." So he went to the sporting goods store because that's where he had goods store because that's where he had goods store because that's where he had to buy them. And uh it was a it was a to buy them.

DHA you could buy DHA right now. You go to you could buy DHA right now. You go to you could buy DHA right now. You go to the you go to a grocery store the you go to a grocery store the you go to a grocery store >> and in their supplement section they'll >> and in their supplement section they'll >> and in their supplement section they'll have DHA and DHEA has its own benefits have DHA and DHEA has its own benefits have DHA and DHEA has its own benefits but it also goes through two or three but it also goes through two or three but it also goes through two or three conversions and can become you know uh conversions and can become you know uh conversions and can become you know uh testosterone or estrogen or whatever. So testosterone or estrogen or whatever. So testosterone or estrogen or whatever. So that's called a pro hormone. But here's that's called a pro hormone. But here's that's called a pro hormone.

That's true. The the top is is is will. That's true. The the top is is is will. That's true.

The only workouts you're going to do are The only workouts you're going to do are The only workouts you're going to do are mass 15. With diet, there's going to be mass 15. With diet, there's going to be mass 15. With diet, there's going to be two approaches. One is you can keep two approaches. One is you can keep two approaches. One is you can keep tracking and I, you know, stay around tracking and I, you know, stay around tracking and I, you know, stay around 2200 calories. The other one is to do 2200 calories. The other one is to do 2200 calories. The other one is to do this. Hit your protein targets, stick to this. Hit your protein targets, stick to this. Hit your protein targets, stick to whole natural foods, and then eat when whole natural foods, and then eat when whole natural foods, and then eat when you're hungry and don't eat when you're you're hungry and don't eat when you're you're hungry and don't eat when you're not hungry. not hungry. not hungry. >> Okay. >> Okay. >> Okay. >> Okay.

Uh, it's also going to take stress off Uh, it's also going to take stress off Uh, it's also going to take stress off of you. Uh, I don't know how how of you. Uh, I don't know how how of you. Uh, I don't know how how tracking feels for you, but I know for tracking feels for you, but I know for tracking feels for you, but I know for most people, tracking constantly is an most people, tracking constantly is an most people, tracking constantly is an additional stress. I got to count additional stress. I got to count additional stress.

Set a recommendations, make it a goal. Set a recommendations, make it a goal. Set a goal for a certain amount of time. I'm goal for a certain amount of time. I'm goal for a certain amount of time. I'm going to win these this many weekends in going to win these this many weekends in going to win these this many weekends in a row, and I want to see what kind of a row, and I want to see what kind of a row, and I want to see what kind of impact it makes. And I have a feeling if impact it makes. And I have a feeling if impact it makes. And I have a feeling if you take all of the advice we've given, you take all of the advice we've given, you take all of the advice we've given, you win those that many weekends in a you win those that many weekends in a you win those that many weekends in a row, I think you're going to feel and row, I think you're going to feel and row, I think you're going to feel and see a nice difference. see a nice difference. see a nice difference. >> But I want you to really gauge it by how >> But I want you to really gauge it by how >> But I want you to really gauge it by how you feel uh and by performance. Let's you feel uh and by performance. Let's you feel uh and by performance. Let's not worry too much about the scale until not worry too much about the scale until not worry too much about the scale until we start to see strength and we start to we start to see strength and we start to we start to see strength and we start to feel better. Then we can start to worry feel better. Then we can start to worry feel better. Then we can start to worry about that a little bit. And then what I about that a little bit. And then what I about that a little bit. And then what I said about the diet, often times, and said about the diet, often times, and said about the diet, often times, and you let me know if this resonates, uh, you let me know if this resonates, uh, you let me know if this resonates, uh, often times the reason why people go off often times the reason why people go off often times the reason why people go off on the weekend is because they're so on the weekend is because they're so on the weekend is because they're so strict during the week. And so if the strict during the week. And so if the strict during the week. And so if the tracking is not so much on the calories, tracking is not so much on the calories, tracking is not so much on the calories, but just the protein, and staying away but just the protein, and staying away but just the protein, and staying away from those things that you're reactive from those things that you're reactive from those things that you're reactive to, to, to, >> it might give you the flexibility on the >> it might give you the flexibility on the >> it might give you the flexibility on the weekend. So, you go out on a date and weekend. So, you go out on a date and weekend. So, you go out on a date and you're like, you know what? I'm going to you're like, you know what? I'm going to you're like, you know what? I'm going to stay away from, you know, gluten, sugar, stay away from, you know, gluten, sugar, stay away from, you know, gluten, sugar, like those types of things. I'm not like those types of things. I'm not like those types of things. I'm not tracking my calories. I'll hit my tracking my calories. I'll hit my tracking my calories. I'll hit my protein and now I can kind of enjoy protein and now I can kind of enjoy protein and now I can kind of enjoy myself a little bit. And if I'm a little myself a little bit.

So um my joints are basically too loose. Um it's a connective tissue disorder. Um Um it's a connective tissue disorder. Um Um it's a connective tissue disorder. Um I have something called um hyperandergic I have something called um hyperandergic I have something called um hyperandergic um which is dautonomia. Um, basically um which is dautonomia. Um, basically um which is dautonomia. Um, basically there's not enough blood volume in my there's not enough blood volume in my there's not enough blood volume in my body. Um, so I have to wear compression body. Um, so I have to wear compression body. Um, so I have to wear compression garments. I use um, uh, electrolytes on garments. I use um, uh, electrolytes on garments. I use um, uh, electrolytes on a daily basis and, um, [snorts] it like a daily basis and, um, [snorts] it like a daily basis and, um, [snorts] it like just it just affects stuff that your just it just affects stuff that your just it just affects stuff that your body controls on its own. Heart rate, body controls on its own. Heart rate, body controls on its own. Heart rate, blood pressure, body temperature, blood pressure, body temperature, blood pressure, body temperature, digestion. Um, so just standing up my digestion. Um, so just standing up my digestion. Um, so just standing up my heart rate could shoot up like almost heart rate could shoot up like almost heart rate could shoot up like almost 200. My blood pressure can shoot up 200. My blood pressure can shoot up 200. My blood pressure can shoot up dangerously high, but then when I lay dangerously high, but then when I lay dangerously high, but then when I lay down, it all reser resolves. Um, so and down, it all reser resolves. Um, so and down, it all reser resolves. Um, so and then I also have something um called then I also have something um called then I also have something um called MCCAST, a histamine issue. So, it's like MCCAST, a histamine issue. So, it's like MCCAST, a histamine issue. So, it's like I have a lot of hard time working out I have a lot of hard time working out I have a lot of hard time working out because working out can trigger because working out can trigger because working out can trigger histamine release and I could get hives histamine release and I could get hives histamine release and I could get hives or angiodema. And then I done a couple or angiodema. And then I done a couple or angiodema. And then I done a couple cycles lifting with my husband like a cycles lifting with my husband like a cycles lifting with my husband like a 5x5 and a 3x7 and I did well a couple 5x5 and a 3x7 and I did well a couple 5x5 and a 3x7 and I did well a couple years ago but well last year but this years ago but well last year but this years ago but well last year but this year when I tried this whole winter I year when I tried this whole winter I year when I tried this whole winter I tried to work out and I kept injuring tried to work out and I kept injuring tried to work out and I kept injuring myself every time. And I know you guys myself every time. And I know you guys myself every time. And I know you guys have a lot of programs like I think the have a lot of programs like I think the have a lot of programs like I think the one for like in the 40s, but I was one for like in the 40s, but I was one for like in the 40s, but I was wondering if you guys had a program for wondering if you guys had a program for wondering if you guys had a program for people that are old because he told me people that are old because he told me people that are old because he told me that you guys have made progress with that you guys have made progress with that you guys have made progress with even elderly people and they have joint even elderly people and they have joint even elderly people and they have joint issues and mobility issues. And so I'm issues and mobility issues. And so I'm issues and mobility issues. And so I'm wondering like what's a way that I could wondering like what's a way that I could wondering like what's a way that I could actually make progress but without risk actually make progress but without risk actually make progress but without risk of injury. of injury. of injury. >> Yeah, it's a good good question and I >> Yeah, it's a good good question and I >> Yeah, it's a good good question and I appreciate you calling in. appreciate you calling in. appreciate you calling in. [clears throat] [clears throat] [clears throat] >> So there's a couple things we need to >> So there's a couple things we need to >> So there's a couple things we need to consider uh with exercise uh for someone consider uh with exercise uh for someone consider uh with exercise uh for someone like you. Uh, one is we have to manage like you. Uh, one is we have to manage like you. Uh, one is we have to manage intensity very carefully. I think you intensity very carefully. I think you intensity very carefully. I think you already know that. So, your intensity is already know that. So, your intensity is already know that. So, your intensity is always going to be moderate always going to be moderate always going to be moderate and you're going to treat the exercises and you're going to treat the exercises and you're going to treat the exercises like practice. So, I don't what you like practice. So, I don't what you like practice. So, I don't what you don't want to do, Sharon, is go into a don't want to do, Sharon, is go into a don't want to do, Sharon, is go into a workout trying to work out. What you're workout trying to work out. What you're workout trying to work out. What you're going to do is go into a workout trying going to do is go into a workout trying going to do is go into a workout trying to get better at uh the exercise, to get better at uh the exercise, to get better at uh the exercise, getting better at the movement. getting better at the movement. getting better at the movement. >> The second thing with hyper mobility is >> The second thing with hyper mobility is >> The second thing with hyper mobility is that you're not going to do the full that you're not going to do the full that you're not going to do the full range of motion. range of motion. range of motion. >> Yeah. So, when you see an exercise and >> Yeah. So, when you see an exercise and >> Yeah. So, when you see an exercise and you see a squat and they go all the way you see a squat and they go all the way you see a squat and they go all the way down and all the way up, that's not what down and all the way up, that's not what down and all the way up, that's not what you're going to do. you're going to do. you're going to do. >> You're going to stop and and keep your >> You're going to stop and and keep your >> You're going to stop and and keep your reps short. Uh because the those end reps short. Uh because the those end reps short. Uh because the those end ranges of motion where you'll hurt ranges of motion where you'll hurt ranges of motion where you'll hurt yourself because of the hyper mobility. yourself because of the hyper mobility. yourself because of the hyper mobility. You're also going to do things like you You're also going to do things like you You're also going to do things like you also want to do things like like also want to do things like like also want to do things like like isometrics. isometrics. isometrics. So, like uh there's a couple ways we So, like uh there's a couple ways we So, like uh there's a couple ways we could do this. One way would be and you could do this. One way would be and you could do this. One way would be and you can see me on camera. If I'm doing a can see me on camera. If I'm doing a can see me on camera. If I'm doing a shoulder press with dumbbells, normally shoulder press with dumbbells, normally shoulder press with dumbbells, normally we'd have you go let's say all the way we'd have you go let's say all the way we'd have you go let's say all the way down. I'd have you stop here. You'd hold down. I'd have you stop here. You'd hold down. I'd have you stop here. You'd hold there for five seconds. And then when there for five seconds. And then when there for five seconds. And then when you go up to the top, you'd hold there you go up to the top, you'd hold there you go up to the top, you'd hold there for five seconds. for five seconds. for five seconds. >> Okay? >> Okay? >> Okay? >> And and you would do these isometrics at >> And and you would do these isometrics at >> And and you would do these isometrics at the at these ranges of motion. Not the the at these ranges of motion. Not the the at these ranges of motion. Not the end ranges that you have, which are end ranges that you have, which are end ranges that you have, which are really deep, but cut short and then really deep, but cut short and then really deep, but cut short and then hold. Okay. hold. Okay. hold. Okay. >> Okay. Um and the intensity, a little bit >> Okay. Um and the intensity, a little bit >> Okay. Um and the intensity, a little bit of intense is okay, but really it's just of intense is okay, but really it's just of intense is okay, but really it's just about practicing uh the exercise. Uh I about practicing uh the exercise. Uh I about practicing uh the exercise. Uh I want to ask you about the electrolyte uh want to ask you about the electrolyte uh want to ask you about the electrolyte uh consumption. Do you know how much sodium consumption. Do you know how much sodium consumption. Do you know how much sodium you're taking in a day? I use um LMT and you're taking in a day? I use um LMT and you're taking in a day? I use um LMT and I basically just use a half a packet in I basically just use a half a packet in I basically just use a half a packet in almost every water bottle I drink all almost every water bottle I drink all almost every water bottle I drink all throughout the day and night. throughout the day and night. throughout the day and night. >> And how many packets do you go through a >> And how many packets do you go through a >> And how many packets do you go through a day? day? day? >> Um two to three. >> Um two to three. >> Um two to three. >> Okay, so that's 2,000 3,000 milligrams. >> Okay, so that's 2,000 3,000 milligrams. >> Okay, so that's 2,000 3,000 milligrams. And then what do you what about your And then what do you what about your And then what do you what about your diet? diet? diet? >> Um I've been trying to like cut sugar >> Um I've been trying to like cut sugar >> Um I've been trying to like cut sugar completely out because that increases completely out because that increases completely out because that increases the inflammation. the inflammation. the inflammation. >> Um same thing with I'm trying to reduce >> Um same thing with I'm trying to reduce >> Um same thing with I'm trying to reduce the processed food. My my husband eats the processed food. My my husband eats the processed food. My my husband eats like extremely clean. Like even when like extremely clean. Like even when like extremely clean. Like even when he's bulking, it's clean. he's bulking, it's clean. he's bulking, it's clean. >> Um so the the food content over the past >> Um so the the food content over the past >> Um so the the food content over the past few years in the house has just gotten a few years in the house has just gotten a few years in the house has just gotten a lot better. lot better. lot better. >> Um >> Um >> Um >> so in general, I try to Oh, I forgot to >> so in general, I try to Oh, I forgot to >> so in general, I try to Oh, I forgot to mention years and years ago, I um had mention years and years ago, I um had mention years and years ago, I um had gotten a gastric sleeve. gotten a gastric sleeve. gotten a gastric sleeve. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> So the amount of food that I could eat >> So the amount of food that I could eat >> So the amount of food that I could eat isn't typical. So, I try to eat smaller isn't typical. So, I try to eat smaller isn't typical. So, I try to eat smaller meals and prioritize protein while meals and prioritize protein while meals and prioritize protein while trying to throw a little bit of, you trying to throw a little bit of, you trying to throw a little bit of, you know, fiber and a smaller bit of carbs know, fiber and a smaller bit of carbs know, fiber and a smaller bit of carbs in there as well. But I also am in my in there as well. But I also am in my in there as well. But I also am in my early 40s now. And when like just a early 40s now. And when like just a early 40s now. And when like just a couple years ago, if I just, you know, couple years ago, if I just, you know, couple years ago, if I just, you know, got strict with my diet, the weight got strict with my diet, the weight got strict with my diet, the weight would like fall off. Like my job is kind would like fall off. Like my job is kind would like fall off. Like my job is kind of active. I'm a construction worker and of active. I'm a construction worker and of active. I'm a construction worker and a truck driver, so I have really long a truck driver, so I have really long a truck driver, so I have really long shifts, like 10 to 16 hour shifts and shifts, like 10 to 16 hour shifts and shifts, like 10 to 16 hour shifts and moving around, doing stuff all night. So moving around, doing stuff all night. So moving around, doing stuff all night. So if I just was if I just ate well weight if I just was if I just ate well weight if I just was if I just ate well weight would fall off but it's like a little by would fall off but it's like a little by would fall off but it's like a little by little and putting it on it's not coming little and putting it on it's not coming little and putting it on it's not coming off like when I'm eating well it's like off like when I'm eating well it's like off like when I'm eating well it's like I think it took me two months to get I think it took me two months to get I think it took me two months to get down 5 lbs down 5 lbs down 5 lbs >> and it never used to be like that >> and it never used to be like that >> and it never used to be like that before. before. before. >> Okay. So it's going to sound crazy but I >> Okay. So it's going to sound crazy but I >> Okay. So it's going to sound crazy but I don't want you to chase any weight loss. don't want you to chase any weight loss. don't want you to chase any weight loss. I'm not saying that's not going to I'm not saying that's not going to I'm not saying that's not going to happen but I think if you chase weight happen but I think if you chase weight happen but I think if you chase weight loss you're going to move in the wrong loss you're going to move in the wrong loss you're going to move in the wrong direction with all the behaviors and direction with all the behaviors and direction with all the behaviors and actions. actions. actions. >> Um okay I I I'd like to see you play >> Um okay I I I'd like to see you play >> Um okay I I I'd like to see you play with a higher sodium intake. Okay. with a higher sodium intake. Okay. with a higher sodium intake. Okay. >> Especially with with uh the issues with >> Especially with with uh the issues with >> Especially with with uh the issues with blood pressure, uh people tend to blood pressure, uh people tend to blood pressure, uh people tend to respond better. When you started adding respond better. When you started adding respond better. When you started adding electrolytes, uh did you notice an electrolytes, uh did you notice an electrolytes, uh did you notice an improvement? improvement? improvement? >> I noticed a slight improvement. It's >> I noticed a slight improvement. It's >> I noticed a slight improvement. It's it's always better the more I drink. And it's always better the more I drink. And it's always better the more I drink. And I guess for the way my body works, the I guess for the way my body works, the I guess for the way my body works, the the water can actually work. Water the water can actually work. Water the water can actually work. Water supposed to the elect. So the the more I supposed to the elect. So the the more I supposed to the elect. So the the more I drink, the better. And the compression drink, the better. And the compression drink, the better. And the compression actually help more than anything. It's actually help more than anything. It's actually help more than anything. It's like a body. Yeah. like a body. Yeah. like a body. Yeah. >> compression or >> compression or >> compression or >> Okay. So, when you increase your sodium, >> Okay. So, when you increase your sodium, >> Okay. So, when you increase your sodium, increase your water, but but I would increase your water, but but I would increase your water, but but I would play with that a little bit. If you're play with that a little bit. If you're play with that a little bit. If you're at two to three packets a day of at two to three packets a day of at two to three packets a day of element, you could go up to to four uh element, you could go up to to four uh element, you could go up to to four uh and start there and be consistent with and start there and be consistent with and start there and be consistent with it. So, that'll include more water. it. So, that'll include more water. it. So, that'll include more water. >> Um I think I I would be it would be wise >> Um I think I I would be it would be wise >> Um I think I I would be it would be wise and I don't know how well you do this, and I don't know how well you do this, and I don't know how well you do this, but I would avoid but I would avoid but I would avoid >> foods that people tend to be reactive >> foods that people tend to be reactive >> foods that people tend to be reactive to.

So, if you is the way you'll do that. So, if you just shorten all those movements up that just shorten all those movements up that just shorten all those movements up that you probably were doing with your you probably were doing with your you probably were doing with your husband, just don't go as deep, don't go husband, just don't go as deep, don't go husband, just don't go as deep, don't go as low in all the movements with weight, as low in all the movements with weight, as low in all the movements with weight, that's fine. and pause at the bottom and that's fine. and pause at the bottom and that's fine. and pause at the bottom and pause at the top. You're building pause at the top. You're building pause at the top. You're building isometrics in there that'll help you isometrics in there that'll help you isometrics in there that'll help you connect to the muscle better. connect to the muscle better. connect to the muscle better. >> Almost like a 90 degree angle like rule >> Almost like a 90 degree angle like rule >> Almost like a 90 degree angle like rule for each joint, you know, and it's kind for each joint, you know, and it's kind for each joint, you know, and it's kind of like a little bit of a standard that of like a little bit of a standard that of like a little bit of a standard that we've had as trainers is to try and kind we've had as trainers is to try and kind we've had as trainers is to try and kind of keep people within like these 90° of of keep people within like these 90° of of keep people within like these 90° of your squat or the angle with your knee, your squat or the angle with your knee, your squat or the angle with your knee, angle with, you know, your overhead angle with, you know, your overhead angle with, you know, your overhead press. Uh so just as a general kind of press. Uh so just as a general kind of press. Uh so just as a general kind of gauge but yeah to to keep that monitored gauge but yeah to to keep that monitored gauge but yeah to to keep that monitored is like your starting and then your end is like your starting and then your end is like your starting and then your end point with extension you really can't point with extension you really can't point with extension you really can't hold the isometric too long.

So so let's say the the workout husband. So so let's say the the workout husband. So so let's say the the workout calls five by five and you only do three calls five by five and you only do three calls five by five and you only do three reps but you pause for 5 seconds at the reps but you pause for 5 seconds at the reps but you pause for 5 seconds at the bottom pie. That's fine. I'd rather that bottom pie. That's fine. I'd rather that bottom pie. That's fine. I'd rather that than you add a bunch more weight and try than you add a bunch more weight and try than you add a bunch more weight and try and get to five. It would be better for and get to five. It would be better for and get to five. It would be better for you to really emphasize the the pausing you to really emphasize the the pausing you to really emphasize the the pausing and the isometric portion.
