Here is the challenge. Do almost never do that. Here is the challenge. Do you want to build muscle? Build you want to build muscle? Build you want to build muscle? Build more muscle than you've more muscle than you've more muscle than you've ever built in 90 days. We ever built in 90 days. We ever built in 90 days. We 'll give you the formula right away 'll give you the formula right away 'll give you the formula right away . Do as we say. . Do as we say. . Do as we say. Look what's happening. Here we go Look what's happening. Here we go Look what's happening. Here we go . . . Weight gain in 90 days. I have Weight gain in 90 days. I have Weight gain in 90 days. I have the impression that the impression that the impression that this was inspired by our this was inspired by our this was inspired by our interviewee who gained 11 kg in interviewee who gained 11 kg in interviewee who gained 11 kg in the last week. the last week. the last week. Oh, yeah. It was cool. How Oh, yeah. It was cool. How Oh, yeah. It was cool. How long did it take him to do that? long did it take him to do that? long did it take him to do that? Uh, that was Uh, that was Uh, that was pretty quick, wasn't it? pretty quick, wasn't it? pretty quick, wasn't it? It was like a year. It was like a year. It was like a year. Oh, it was a year? Oh, it was a year? Oh, it was a year? Yeah, it was like a year, which is Yeah, it was like a year, which is Yeah, it was like a year, which is crazy because he's 67 years old. crazy because he's 67 years old. crazy because he's 67 years old. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. An older man. That's crazy. An older man. That's crazy. An older man. That's crazy. 67 years old. The 67-year-old gained 11 kg of muscle. 67 years old. The 67-year-old gained 11 kg of muscle. 67 years old. The 67-year-old gained 11 kg of muscle. Super impressive. Super impressive. Super impressive. You know, that's the thing with You know, that's the thing with You know, that's the thing with bodybuilding. It's a really bodybuilding. It's a really bodybuilding. It's a really difficult and slow process. It's difficult and slow process. It's difficult and slow process. It's not easy. Uh, however, if you not easy. Uh, however, if you not easy. Uh, however, if you are hyper-focused and consistent are hyper-focused and consistent are hyper-focused and consistent with some of the things we're with some of the things we're with some of the things we're going to say, going to say, going to say, yeah. yeah. yeah. You know, depending on your You know, depending on your You know, depending on your genetics and all that, you'll genetics and all that, you'll genetics and all that, you'll probably gain more muscle than you've ever gained probably gain more muscle than you've ever gained probably gain more muscle than you've ever gained in a in a in a 90-day period, except maybe at the beginning. 90-day period, except maybe at the beginning. 90-day period, except maybe at the beginning. You just have to be really consistent. You just have to be really consistent. You just have to be really consistent. That works. What That works. What That works. What we're going to say really works. This is the formula for we're going to say really works. This is the formula for we're going to say really works. This is the formula for gaining muscle, and if you're listening gaining muscle, and if you're listening gaining muscle, and if you're listening and you want to lose weight—let and you want to lose weight—let and you want to lose weight—let 's say your goal is to lose 's say your goal is to lose 's say your goal is to lose weight or fat—don't change weight or fat—don't change weight or fat—don't change the channel because this will the channel because this will the channel because this will prepare you for an incredible cut. prepare you for an incredible cut. prepare you for an incredible cut. You build a You build a You build a significant amount of muscle in 90 days, you significant amount of muscle in 90 days, you significant amount of muscle in 90 days, you will have a metabolic rate and will have a metabolic rate and will have a metabolic rate and configuration that will make cutting configuration that will make cutting configuration that will make cutting much easier. So it's good much easier. So it's good much easier. So it's good for people who just want to for people who just want to for people who just want to get bigger. It's also great get bigger. It's also great get bigger. It's also great for people who want to get for people who want to get for people who want to get thinner, uh, to get ready. thinner, uh, to get ready. thinner, uh, to get ready. Well, I maintain that this is almost Well, I maintain that this is almost Well, I maintain that this is almost always the prescription we always the prescription we always the prescription we follow when we help someone follow when we help someone follow when we help someone who wants to lose a lot of weight. That's the first who wants to lose a lot of weight. That's the first who wants to lose a lot of weight. That's the first thing. Let's go. Even if thing. Let's go. Even if thing. Let's go. Even if it's not important. Um, Katrina and it's not important. Um, Katrina and it's not important. Um, Katrina and I talked about it. Uh, actually, I talked about it. Uh, actually, I talked about it. Uh, actually, it's almost exactly the same amount of time it's almost exactly the same amount of time it's almost exactly the same amount of time we have to get to we have to get to we have to get to Cabo. And she said to me, "Hey, Cabo. And she said to me, "Hey, Cabo. And she said to me, "Hey, I really want to get online before I I really want to get online before I I really want to get online before I go to Cabo." "And uh, we have go to Cabo." "And uh, we have go to Cabo." "And uh, we have about 90 days." And she said to me, " about 90 days." And she said to me, " about 90 days." And she said to me, " You know, I want you to prepare You know, I want you to prepare You know, I want you to prepare my diet for me tonight?" "I said, 'Well my diet for me tonight?" "I said, 'Well my diet for me tonight?" "I said, 'Well , for now, it's simple. , for now, it's simple. , for now, it's simple. I want you to increase your protein intake I want you to increase your protein intake I want you to increase your protein intake and reverse your diet right away and reverse your diet right away and reverse your diet right away . Get strong, lift . Get strong, lift . Get strong, lift heavy weights, push. Yeah, we'll continue heavy weights, push. Yeah, we'll continue heavy weights, push. Yeah, we'll continue to build muscle until the last 3 to build muscle until the last 3 to build muscle until the last 3 weeks. I'm going to do the weeks. I'm going to do the weeks. I'm going to do the last 3 weeks of... last 3 weeks of... last 3 weeks of... Yeah, because you're already Yeah, because you're already Yeah, because you're already relatively thin. relatively thin. relatively thin. Yeah, so it's like you're building Yeah, so it's like you're building Yeah, so it's like you're building muscle right away. Build yourself up right now muscle right away. Build yourself up right now muscle right away. Build yourself up right now . I said that if I . I said that if I . I said that if I started you on a diet right away, you'd be so started you on a diet right away, you'd be so started you on a diet right away, you'd be so far from where you are. You're just going to far from where you are. You're just going to far from where you are. You're just going to lose a lot of muscle along the lose a lot of muscle along the lose a lot of muscle along the way. I'm telling you that you'd be much way. I'm telling you that you'd be much way. I'm telling you that you'd be much better off starting by building up your muscles. better off starting by building up your muscles. better off starting by building up your muscles. And so yeah, even if you're not And so yeah, even if you're not And so yeah, even if you're not just someone looking to build just someone looking to build just someone looking to build muscle, who just wants to build muscle, muscle, who just wants to build muscle, muscle, who just wants to build muscle, but who wants to lose but who wants to lose but who wants to lose body fat, that's still the body fat, that's still the body fat, that's still the formula. formula. Yeah, so the first thing to do Yeah, so the first thing to do is get rid of all is get rid of all is get rid of all unnecessary exercises. You know, all those unnecessary exercises. You know, all those unnecessary exercises. You know, all those movements, you know, where we like to movements, you know, where we like to movements, you know, where we like to add a little add a little add a little extra volume and achieve that little extra volume and achieve that little extra volume and achieve that little angle and that kind of thing because, well angle and that kind of thing because, well angle and that kind of thing because, well . The trick when it comes to . The trick when it comes to . The trick when it comes to building muscle. If I had to sum it up building muscle. If I had to sum it up building muscle. If I had to sum it up , developing your , developing your , developing your muscles is about balancing muscles is about balancing muscles is about balancing stimulation, recovery and stimulation, recovery and stimulation, recovery and adaptation, and having adaptation, and having adaptation, and having enough protein and calories enough protein and calories enough protein and calories to adapt. That's really what it boils down to to adapt. That's really what it boils down to to adapt. That's really what it boils down to . And the balance . And the balance . And the balance between stimulation or, you know, we between stimulation or, you know, we between stimulation or, you know, we could say damage, let's say, could say damage, let's say, could say damage, let's say, but stimulation is probably a but stimulation is probably a but stimulation is probably a better word. With recovery and better word. With recovery and better word. With recovery and adaptation, this means you need to be adaptation, this means you need to be adaptation, this means you need to be very careful about where very careful about where very careful about where you spend your time. you spend your time. you spend your time. And people often spend a lot of And people often spend a lot of And people often spend a lot of time on exercises that don't do much time on exercises that don't do much time on exercises that don't do much . It's like, you know, . It's like, you know, . It's like, you know, you have to dig a hole a foot you have to dig a hole a foot you have to dig a hole a foot deep, and you have all these deep, and you have all these deep, and you have all these tools in front of you. One of them is a tools in front of you. One of them is a tools in front of you. One of them is a spoon, the other is a shovel, spoon, the other is a shovel, spoon, the other is a shovel, the other is an excavator. What am the other is an excavator. What am the other is an excavator. What am I going to use a spoon for? I going to use a spoon for? I going to use a spoon for? We must be judicious. That's all. We must be judicious. That's all. We must be judicious. That's all. Yeah, I know. This is interesting Yeah, I know. This is interesting Yeah, I know. This is interesting because you have to make sure you because you have to make sure you because you have to make sure you work all parts of the body work all parts of the body work all parts of the body and all muscle groups. And uh and all muscle groups. And uh , so, I think that often, we , so, I think that often, we , so, I think that often, we just do that. Creating this to- just do that. Creating this to- just do that. Creating this to- do list when in fact there are only a do list when in fact there are only a do list when in fact there are only a few, a handful, that few, a handful, that few, a handful, that are really the most important for are really the most important for are really the most important for the construction. And it's really the construction. And it's really the construction. And it's really like if you could stick to like if you could stick to like if you could stick to those four or five big those four or five big those four or five big compound movements, it really makes a compound movements, it really makes a compound movements, it really makes a huge difference. What do huge difference. What do huge difference. What do you think is the main reason why you think is the main reason why you think is the main reason why this seems to be difficult for this seems to be difficult for this seems to be difficult for people? Training regularly is people? Training regularly is people? Training regularly is already difficult in itself. And then, by already difficult in itself. And then, by already difficult in itself. And then, by choosing to do mainly choosing to do mainly choosing to do mainly difficult movements, it means that, difficult movements, it means that, difficult movements, it means that, I think, we tend to I think, we tend to I think, we tend to favour the easier things. favour the easier things. We tend towards something We tend towards something that is, I mean, I am guilty that is, I mean, I am guilty that is, I mean, I am guilty of that. We think, "I'm guilty of that. We think, "I'm guilty of that. We think, "I'm guilty of this. I'm guilty of... It's of this. I'm guilty of... It's of this. I'm guilty of... It's time to go to the gym, and time to go to the gym, and time to go to the gym, and I know I should be doing I know I should be doing I know I should be doing dumbbell squats. They're the best value, dumbbell squats. They're the best value, dumbbell squats. They're the best value, and what I and what I and what I should be doing is, I'm just should be doing is, I'm just should be doing is, I'm just not... I don't feel like it. not... I don't feel like it. not... I don't feel like it. Let me do Let me do Let me do leg extensions. Let me do... I'm leg extensions. Let me do... I'm leg extensions. Let me do... I'm so glad you said that so glad you said that , because some of the , because some of the , because some of the unnecessary exercises might make unnecessary exercises might make unnecessary exercises might make someone think, 'Oh cool.' I'm not going to someone think, 'Oh cool.' I'm not going to someone think, 'Oh cool.' I'm not going to do cable lateral kickbacks do cable lateral kickbacks do cable lateral kickbacks . That's clearly a . That's clearly a . That's clearly a unnecessary exercise. But there are a lot of unnecessary exercise. But there are a lot of unnecessary exercise. But there are a lot of exercises that people consider exercises that people consider exercises that people consider basic that, in basic that, in basic that, in this context, are actually unnecessary. this context, are actually unnecessary. this context, are actually unnecessary. You named one: You named one: You named one: leg extensions. Don't put them in your leg extensions. Don't put them in your leg extensions. Don't put them in your routine. Oh my god, everyone's going to routine. Oh my god, everyone's going to routine. Oh my god, everyone's going to freak out now. freak out now. freak out now. Leg curls—here's another one. Do Leg curls—here's another one. Do Leg curls—here's another one. Do n't put them in your routine. You're n't put them in your routine. You're n't put them in your routine. You're going to squat, you're going to do going to squat, you're going to do going to squat, you're going to do squat movements, you're going to squat movements, you're going to squat movements, you're going to do..." deadlifts and do..." deadlifts and do..." deadlifts and deadlift-type movements. deadlift-type movements. deadlift-type movements. That's where you want your That's where you want your That's where you want your energy to go to build the most energy to go to build the most energy to go to build the most muscle. So, you're going to muscle. So, you're going to muscle. So, you're going to eliminate or do very few of those eliminate or do very few of those isolation-based movements. It's kind of like I've isolation-based movements. It's kind of like I've run out of energy run out of energy run out of energy and intensity in those and intensity in those and intensity in those primary movements if I add other primary movements if I add other primary movements if I add other unnecessary ones afterward. And I think that's unnecessary ones afterward. And I think that's unnecessary ones afterward. And I think that's the whole finisher mentality at the whole finisher mentality at the whole finisher mentality at play, if you can think of it play, if you can think of it play, if you can think of it differently. differently. differently. Also, this person tends to Also, this person tends to Also, this person tends to want to finish by doing that. Is want to finish by doing that. Is want to finish by doing that. Is this person less skilled? So, this person less skilled? So, this person less skilled? So, the guy or girl who does big the guy or girl who does big the guy or girl who does big lifts and then does a bunch lifts and then does a bunch lifts and then does a bunch of these movements that are, you know, of these movements that are, you know, of these movements that are, you know, finishers or not, it's going to be okay finishers or not, it's going to be okay finishers or not, it's going to be okay because they're doing big lifts, because they're doing big lifts, because they're doing big lifts, but I think what happens most but I think what happens most but I think what happens most often is what I was saying, which is that often is what I was saying, which is that they avoid them because the they avoid them because the deadlift is hard today. And deadlift is hard today. And deadlift is hard today. And so I'm going to do what I think is so I'm going to do what I think is so I'm going to do what I think is the best thing to do. Doing, like the best thing to do. Doing, like the best thing to do. Doing, like the leg press or the leg press or the leg press or something like that, or something like that, or something like that, or lying leg curls or lying leg curls or lying leg curls or something like that, and it's just something like that, and it's just something like that, and it's just like, man, the amount you're missing out on by not doing them like, man, the amount you're missing out on by not doing them like, man, the amount you're missing out on by not doing them ... Because yeah, ... Because yeah, ... Because yeah, it's not that hard. it's not that hard. it's not that hard. Yeah. It's... There are two risks Yeah. It's... There are two risks Yeah. It's... There are two risks you run. The first is what you you run. The first is what you you run. The first is what you said, Adam, where I don't do or said, Adam, where I don't do or said, Adam, where I don't do or put my energy into the big put my energy into the big put my energy into the big movements. The second is that I movements. The second is that I movements. The second is that I might be doing the big movements, might be doing the big movements, might be doing the big movements, but I add so many other but I add so many other but I add so many other exercises that I compromise exercises that I compromise exercises that I compromise my body's ability my body's ability my body's ability to adapt. Uh, I'm going to tell a to adapt. Uh, I'm going to tell a to adapt. Uh, I'm going to tell a personal story, but again personal story, but again personal story, but again , I've experienced this with all my , I've experienced this with all my , I've experienced this with all my clients, and you know, as I say, that's what clients, and you know, as I say, that's what clients, and you know, as I say, that's what builds the most builds the most builds the most muscle in a short amount of time. By the way, I'm not muscle in a short amount of time. By the way, I'm not muscle in a short amount of time. By the way, I'm not saying those exercises have no saying those exercises have no saying those exercises have no value. You can't always value. You can't always value. You can't always train the way we're going to talk about train the way we're going to talk about train the way we're going to talk about now, because you'll develop now, because you'll develop now, because you'll develop imbalances if you do. imbalances if you do. imbalances if you do. This It's just a 90-day window This It's just a 90-day window This It's just a 90-day window to build muscle. But I to build muscle. But I to build muscle. But I 'll tell you about my experience. I was 'll tell you about my experience. I was 'll tell you about my experience. I was 16. I was at the 16. I was at the 16. I was at the gym and I started training gym and I started training gym and I started training my legs. Now, my legs my legs. Now, my legs my legs. Now, my legs respond really well to weight training respond really well to weight training . One of the parts of my body that . One of the parts of my body that . One of the parts of my body that I have that can really I have that can really I have that can really develop well is my quads and develop well is my quads and develop well is my quads and hamstrings. They just do hamstrings. They just do hamstrings. They just do . And at that point, my . And at that point, my . And at that point, my leg routine—and I'm not leg routine—and I'm not leg routine—and I'm not kidding, this is what it consisted of— kidding, this is what it consisted of— kidding, this is what it consisted of— leg presses, hack squats, leg leg presses, hack squats, leg leg presses, hack squats, leg extensions, leg curls extensions, leg curls extensions, leg curls . All really good exercises. . All really good exercises. . All really good exercises. And I did about three sets of And I did about three sets of And I did about three sets of each. It was a each. It was a each. It was a decent workout. And I built muscle. But that's when decent workout. And I built muscle. But that's when decent workout. And I built muscle. But that's when I met these I met these I met these weightlifters, and all I did for an entire weightlifters, and all I did for an entire weightlifters, and all I did for an entire summer was summer was summer was really build muscle. But that's when really build muscle. But that's when really build muscle. But that's when I met these weightlifters, and I met these weightlifters, and I met these weightlifters, and all I did for an entire all I did for an entire all I did for an entire summer was really build muscle. Build muscle. summer was really build muscle. Build muscle. summer was really build muscle. Build muscle. Strong at dumbbell squats. Squats. Strong at dumbbell squats. Squats. Strong at dumbbell squats. Squats. I gained 5.4 kg. I gained 5.4 kg and I gained 5.4 kg. I gained 5.4 kg and I gained 5.4 kg. I gained 5.4 kg and my jeans didn't fit anymore, and I my jeans didn't fit anymore, and I my jeans didn't fit anymore, and I stopped doing everything else. So, stopped doing everything else. So, stopped doing everything else. So, get rid of those get rid of those get rid of those unnecessary exercises, and secondly, train unnecessary exercises, and secondly, train unnecessary exercises, and secondly, train your whole body 3 days a week. your whole body 3 days a week. your whole body 3 days a week. You're going to be at the gym 3 You're going to be at the gym 3 You're going to be at the gym 3 days a week. You're going to be days a week. You're going to be days a week. You're going to be absent or outside the absent or outside the absent or outside the gym more often than you're actually there. gym more often than you're actually there. gym more often than you're actually there. When you're trying to build muscle, When you're trying to build muscle, When you're trying to build muscle, stop training so much. 3 stop training so much. 3 stop training so much. 3 days a week. And this is what days a week. And this is what days a week. And this is what you focus your routines on. One of those you focus your routines on. One of those you focus your routines on. One of those days, you're going to focus on days, you're going to focus on days, you're going to focus on your bench press, the next day your bench press, the next day it'll be your squat, the following day it'll be it'll be your squat, the following day it'll be it'll be your squat, the following day it'll be the deadlift, and you the deadlift, and you the deadlift, and you can add other exercises, can add other exercises, can add other exercises, right? A bench press, right? A bench press, right? A bench press, a row, or a pull-up, you know, a row, or a pull-up, you know, a row, or a pull-up, you know, other movements that are also other movements that are also other movements that are also very effective. But these are the very effective. But these are the very effective. But these are the fundamental movements fundamental movements fundamental movements you try to focus on on you try to focus on on you try to focus on on those training days. Your whole those training days. Your whole those training days. Your whole body, and you're going to do them. body, and you're going to do them. body, and you're going to do them. Try to get really good at Try to get really good at Try to get really good at those movements and get really those movements and get really those movements and get really strong at those movements. And then, this is strong at those movements. And then, this is strong at those movements. And then, this is very important, don't lift very important, don't lift very important, don't lift to failure. to failure. to failure. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So, you have to train with So, you have to train with So, you have to train with a decent intensity, but you have to a decent intensity, but you have to a decent intensity, but you have to stop your sets about two stop your sets about two stop your sets about two reps before. First of all, if reps before. First of all, if reps before. First of all, if you train your whole body and you train your whole body and you train your whole body and you go to failure three you go to failure three you go to failure three days a week, you're going to set yourself up for days a week, you're going to set yourself up for days a week, you're going to set yourself up for injury and destroying injury and destroying injury and destroying your body. Also, or you know, your body. Also, or you know, your body. Also, or you know, separately, they've done separately, they've done separately, they've done excellent studies. We have excellent studies. We have excellent studies. We have excellent studies on excellent studies on excellent studies on training to failure versus just training to failure versus just training to failure versus just stopping a few stopping a few stopping a few reps before failure. reps before failure. Training to failure doesn't provide Training to failure doesn't provide any additional benefit, except any additional benefit, except any additional benefit, except in certain circumstances. Uh, in in certain circumstances. Uh, in in certain circumstances. Uh, in most cases, it doesn't provide any most cases, it doesn't provide any most cases, it doesn't provide any additional benefit, but what it does additional benefit, but what it does additional benefit, but what it does is compromise is compromise is compromise recovery. recovery. recovery. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So, you're going to train So, you're going to train So, you're going to train intensely, but you're not going to intensely, but you're not going to intensely, but you're not going to train until failure. train until failure. train until failure. Yeah, it's just Yeah, it's just Yeah, it's just not worth it. I mean, at the end of the not worth it. I mean, at the end of the not worth it. I mean, at the end of the day, your risk factor day, your risk factor day, your risk factor also increases considerably, which also increases considerably, which also increases considerably, which is like, you know, is like, you know, is like, you know, if you're trying to limit the if you're trying to limit the if you're trying to limit the number of times you can number of times you can number of times you can resume training and create more resume training and create more resume training and create more volume opportunities by volume opportunities by volume opportunities by retraining, it's going to limit retraining, it's going to limit retraining, it's going to limit that because of recovery. that because of recovery. that because of recovery. You end up falling into that trap You end up falling into that trap You end up falling into that trap of: I need to heal, but of: I need to heal, but of: I need to heal, but I'm not moving forward. I'm not adapting I'm not moving forward. I'm not adapting I'm not moving forward. I'm not adapting because I haven't allowed myself to because I haven't allowed myself to overcome this. Numbers overcome this. Numbers two and three are very common here. two and three are very common here. two and three are very common here. As for not sticking As for not sticking As for not sticking to three full-body weight training days a week to three full-body weight training days a week to three full-body weight training days a week and not and not and not training to failure, I training to failure, I training to failure, I think that's an area that think that's an area that think that's an area that highly motivated people with 90- highly motivated people with 90- highly motivated people with 90- day weight training tend to fall into day weight training tend to fall into day weight training tend to fall into . . . Yeah. And the mistake here is this Yeah. And the mistake here is this Yeah. And the mistake here is this idea that you build muscle idea that you build muscle idea that you build muscle when you're in the gym when you're in the gym . You don't. Mhm. You don't . You don't. Mhm. You don't . You don't. Mhm. You don't build muscle when build muscle when build muscle when you're at the gym. You don't you're at the gym. You don't you're at the gym. You don't build muscle at the build muscle at the build muscle at the gym. Yeah, not at all. gym. Yeah, not at all. gym. Yeah, not at all. The muscle-building process is what The muscle-building process is what The muscle-building process is what you do when you get you do when you get you do when you get home and rest, home and rest, home and rest, recover, and recover, and recover, and train. Nourish. So, if you train. Nourish. So, if you train. Nourish. So, if you can think that's more important can think that's more important can think that's more important than what actually happens at the than what actually happens at the than what actually happens at the gym, you can reframe how gym, you can reframe how gym, you can reframe how you approach this you approach this you approach this lifting. And so, and I made lifting. And so, and I made lifting. And so, and I made this mistake for years. I this mistake for years. I this mistake for years. I always visualize training as what always visualize training as what always visualize training as what builds muscle. It's builds muscle. It's builds muscle. It's like, I have to do an excellent, high- like, I have to do an excellent, high- like, I have to do an excellent, high- intensity workout because that's what's intensity workout because that's what's intensity workout because that's what's going to build muscle. It's going to build muscle. It's going to build muscle. It's like, no. What I could like, no. What I could like, no. What I could absolutely do is overtrain absolutely do is overtrain absolutely do is overtrain my body, and then you combine that with my body, and then you combine that with my body, and then you combine that with a lack of food for that a lack of food for that a lack of food for that recovery, and you get recovery, and you get recovery, and you get stuck in that stuck in that stuck in that recovery trap. Do you think that would have recovery trap. Do you think that would have happened, Adam, if you had happened, Adam, if you had trained like that when you first trained like that when you first trained like that when you first started? Training? You started? Training? You started? Training? You thought that was the way to thought that was the way to thought that was the way to build muscle, you were build muscle, you were build muscle, you were convinced, and you stuck convinced, and you stuck convinced, and you stuck to something like that. How many to something like that. How many to something like that. How many years wasted? years wasted? Yeah, I think what I Yeah, I think what I would have seen is that I would have reached would have seen is that I would have reached would have seen is that I would have reached what I reached by my what I reached by my what I reached by my 30s. I probably would have seen 30s. I probably would have seen 30s. I probably would have seen it in my mid-20s rather than it in my mid-20s rather than it in my mid-20s rather than before; that's probably what should have before; that's probably what should have before; that's probably what should have happened. It happened because happened. It happened because happened. It happened because I... I did a lot of I... I did a lot of I... I did a lot of other things. Yeah, and I still did pretty well other things. Yeah, and I still did pretty well other things. Yeah, and I still did pretty well . Like, I wasn't . Like, I wasn't . Like, I wasn't terrible. But man, here's terrible. But man, here's terrible. But man, here's the other thing, too. I think I would have the other thing, too. I think I would have the other thing, too. I think I would have reached that level of strength and reached that level of strength and reached that level of strength and physique a lot sooner with a physique a lot sooner with a physique a lot sooner with a lot less effort. lot less effort. lot less effort. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. What, for me, is... That's the What, for me, is... That's the What, for me, is... That's the part that really jumps out at me. part that really jumps out at me. part that really jumps out at me. It's like we could sit It's like we could sit It's like we could sit here and argue all day. here and argue all day. here and argue all day. Oh, no, it still would have taken me that Oh, no, it still would have taken me that Oh, no, it still would have taken me that long. What, but it's for sure that would have long. What, but it's for sure that would have long. What, but it's for sure that would have been a lot... The been a lot... The been a lot... The number of... I mean, there were number of... I mean, there were number of... I mean, there were times when I was training 7 days a week times when I was training 7 days a week times when I was training 7 days a week , twice a day, and , twice a day, and , twice a day, and crazy stuff, thinking that the more I crazy stuff, thinking that the more I crazy stuff, thinking that the more I trained, the trained, the trained, the harder I trained, the more muscle I'd get. I'd go all out harder I trained, the more muscle I'd get. I'd go all out and go out to train or and go out to train or do whatever sport I was do whatever sport I was do whatever sport I was playing, and it was like playing, and it was like playing, and it was like you were mentally battling the you were mentally battling the you were mentally battling the pain all the time, and that was pain all the time, and that was pain all the time, and that was just the norm. You just thought, just the norm. You just thought, just the norm. You just thought, I can just work on that, I can just work on that, I can just work on that, and, you know, just think about being and, you know, just think about being and, you know, just think about being energetic and, uh... You know, having energetic and, uh... You know, having energetic and, uh... You know, having all the strength and everything you would have gotten from training that way all the strength and everything you would have gotten from training that way would have been insane. What's crazy is that that's how crazy is that that's how strength athletes and strength athletes and strength athletes and bodybuilders used to lift weights bodybuilders used to lift weights bodybuilders used to lift weights until until until anabolic steroids became a anabolic steroids became a anabolic steroids became a staple of the sport. Bodybuilding. staple of the sport. Bodybuilding. staple of the sport. Bodybuilding. That's how all the That's how all the That's how all the weightlifters lifted weights. That's how weightlifters lifted weights. That's how weightlifters lifted weights. That's how the greats of the ' the greats of the ' the greats of the ' 20s, '30s, '40s, and '50s lifted 20s, '30s, '40s, and '50s lifted 20s, '30s, '40s, and '50s lifted weights and built weights and built weights and built incredible physiques and became incredible physiques and became incredible physiques and became really, really strong. It wasn't really, really strong. It wasn't really, really strong. It wasn't until anabolic steroids came along until anabolic steroids came along until anabolic steroids came along that these bodybuilders were able to that these bodybuilders were able to that these bodybuilders were able to bulk up and started bulk up and started bulk up and started training that way. That's how training that way. That's how training that way. That's how they all lifted they all lifted they all lifted weights, and again, they were weights, and again, they were weights, and again, they were incredible. I remember incredible. I remember incredible. I remember years ago, I was a kid. I was years ago, I was a kid. I was years ago, I was a kid. I was probably 15. We probably 15. We probably 15. We had a family friend had a family friend had a family friend named Joe. He was a chiropractor, named Joe. He was a chiropractor, named Joe. He was a chiropractor, and he was muscular. He was the and he was muscular. He was the and he was muscular. He was the most muscular guy I'd ever known. most muscular guy I'd ever known. I told you the story. And I mustered up I told you the story. And I mustered up my courage—he was my courage—he was my courage—he was a family friend, so he a family friend, so he a family friend, so he was there and there. And you know, when was there and there. And you know, when was there and there. And you know, when you have When you're 15 and you see a you have When you're 15 and you see a you have When you're 15 and you see a really muscular person in front of really muscular person in front of really muscular person in front of you, you're like, "Oh my god. you, you're like, "Oh my god. you, you're like, "Oh my god. " Yeah. " Yeah. " Yeah. And I remember finally working up the And I remember finally working up the And I remember finally working up the courage and courage and courage and saying, "Joe, I want to get muscular. saying, "Joe, I want to get muscular. How can I get as muscular as How can I get as muscular as possible?" And he said, "Come possible?" And he said, "Come possible?" And he said, "Come here, I'll come talk to you." And he sat me down here, I'll come talk to you." And he sat me down here, I'll come talk to you." And he sat me down in in in my parents' dining room. He sat me down my parents' dining room. He sat me down my parents' dining room. He sat me down . I was ready. I thought, . I was ready. I thought, . I was ready. I thought, "This guy's going to show me." "This guy's going to show me." "This guy's going to show me." He said, "Here's what you're going to He said, "Here's what you're going to He said, "Here's what you're going to do." "What's the secret? do." "What's the secret? do." "What's the secret? Here's what you're going to do." He said, Here's what you're going to do." He said, Here's what you're going to do." He said, "Now you're going to lift "Now you're going to lift "Now you're going to lift your whole body three days a week. your whole body three days a week. your whole body three days a week. Maybe you'll do three or four Maybe you'll do three or four Maybe you'll do three or four lifts each lifts each lifts each workout, and you're going to eat a workout, and you're going to eat a workout, and you're going to eat a lot. Feed that muscle." lot. Feed that muscle." lot. Feed that muscle." And I remember And I remember And I remember literally thinking, "This guy's talking literally thinking, "This guy's talking literally thinking, "This guy's talking nonsense." "He's going to..." nonsense." "He's going to..." nonsense." "He's going to..." My dad or my mom My dad or my mom My dad or my mom talked to him and said, "Just make sure he doesn't talked to him and said, "Just make sure he doesn't talked to him and said, "Just make sure he doesn't exercise. exercise. exercise. " You know what I mean? I " You know what I mean? I " You know what I mean? I thought he was talking nonsense. thought he was talking nonsense. thought he was talking nonsense. If I'd listened to that guy, I would have had much If I'd listened to that guy, I would have had much If I'd listened to that guy, I would have had much better results. So, better results. So, better results. So, uh, here's the next thing. Change uh, here's the next thing. Change uh, here's the next thing. Change your workouts every three, your workouts every three, your workouts every three, three, or four weeks, but I'm going to three, or four weeks, but I'm going to three, or four weeks, but I'm going to be clear about this. Don't change the be clear about this. Don't change the be clear about this. Don't change the whole workout every three whole workout every three whole workout every three or four weeks. No. Keep those or four weeks. No. Keep those or four weeks. No. Keep those basic exercises in there; what basic exercises in there; what basic exercises in there; what mainly changes are the mainly changes are the mainly changes are the rep ranges. Okay? rep ranges. Okay? rep ranges. Okay? So, you're going to train for three So, you're going to train for three So, you're going to train for three or four weeks with a or four weeks with a or four weeks with a low rep range where you're aiming for five low rep range where you're aiming for five low rep range where you're aiming for five reps, then you're going to train reps, then you're going to train reps, then you're going to train with, say, eight to ten reps with, say, eight to ten reps , and then maybe with 12 to 15 , and then maybe with 12 to 15 , and then maybe with 12 to 15 reps. That's what you do reps. That's what you do reps. That's what you do every three or four weeks every three or four weeks every three or four weeks because it helps your body because it helps your body because it helps your body continue to adapt and continue to adapt and continue to adapt and develop, uh, and Also, avoid develop, uh, and Also, avoid develop, uh, and Also, avoid certain pitfalls that can occur certain pitfalls that can occur certain pitfalls that can occur when lifting those rep ranges when lifting those rep ranges when lifting those rep ranges for too long. for too long. for too long. You also want to keep, as you said You also want to keep, as you said , those basic exercises so you , those basic exercises so you , those basic exercises so you can really see yourself progressing. can really see yourself progressing. can really see yourself progressing. You do 90 days of bench press You do 90 days of bench press You do 90 days of bench press , squat, deadlift , squat, deadlift , and all you're manipulating , and all you're manipulating , and all you're manipulating are the rep ranges, are the rep ranges, are the rep ranges, and you're going to see serious and you're going to see serious and you're going to see serious progress. progress. progress. Huge. Then, you have to eat a Huge. Then, you have to eat a Huge. Then, you have to eat a lot. You want to build lot. You want to build lot. You want to build muscle, you have to fuel your body muscle, you have to fuel your body , but eat healthy. So, these two , but eat healthy. So, these two , but eat healthy. So, these two things go hand in hand, because here's what things go hand in hand, because here's what things go hand in hand, because here's what tends to happen: someone tends to happen: someone tends to happen: someone eats healthy but doesn't eat eats healthy but doesn't eat eats healthy but doesn't eat much, or someone eats much, or someone eats much, or someone eats junk food so they can eat a lot junk food so they can eat a lot junk food so they can eat a lot and ends up gaining a lot of and ends up gaining a lot of and ends up gaining a lot of body fat. If you eat body fat. If you eat body fat. If you eat whole, natural foods and whole, natural foods and whole, natural foods and really try to fuel yourself every really try to fuel yourself every really try to fuel yourself every few hours, have a meal. few hours, have a meal. few hours, have a meal. Every 3 hours, eat a Every 3 hours, eat a Every 3 hours, eat a full meal of whole, natural foods, and full meal of whole, natural foods, and full meal of whole, natural foods, and your satiety will naturally prevent you your satiety will naturally prevent you your satiety will naturally prevent you from from from overeating to the point of gaining a overeating to the point of gaining a overeating to the point of gaining a ton of body fat. But you You'll ton of body fat. But you You'll ton of body fat. But you You'll eat enough to build eat enough to build eat enough to build muscle. You'll eat enough muscle. You'll eat enough muscle. You'll eat enough food to achieve that. food to achieve that. food to achieve that. I mean, again, that's I mean, again, that's I mean, again, that's the mistake I was least interested in. the mistake I was least interested in. the mistake I was least interested in. That was more about training, and that's where That was more about training, and that's where That was more about training, and that's where muscle is built. muscle is built. muscle is built. For example, eating and giving your For example, eating and giving your For example, eating and giving your body what it needs to body what it needs to body what it needs to build that tissue—that's where build that tissue—that's where build that tissue—that's where real muscle is. real muscle is. real muscle is. Well, what I did, my mistake for Well, what I did, my mistake for Well, what I did, my mistake for years, was years, was years, was knowing I had to eat a lot knowing I had to eat a lot knowing I had to eat a lot because I read all the because I read all the because I read all the bodybuilding magazines and that you had to eat bodybuilding magazines and that you had to eat bodybuilding magazines and that you had to eat more calories. My mistake as a more calories. My mistake as a more calories. My mistake as a kid was eating kid was eating kid was eating junk food because I thought junk food because I thought junk food because I thought calories were calories. So, calories were calories. So, calories were calories. So, let's eat them. So I ate let's eat them. So I ate let's eat them. So I ate pizza, fast food, pizza, fast food, pizza, fast food, ice cream, candy, and anything else I ice cream, candy, and anything else I ice cream, candy, and anything else I could get my hands on, and it wasn't until there was could get my hands on, and it wasn't until there was could get my hands on, and it wasn't until there was a period when I had to a period when I had to a period when I had to stay with my grandmother. My stay with my grandmother. My stay with my grandmother. My parents were abroad, and my parents were abroad, and my parents were abroad, and my grandmother, being Italian, The grandmother, being Italian, The grandmother, being Italian, The old school way, she'd give me whatever old school way, she'd give me whatever old school way, she'd give me whatever I wanted, she'd cook it, and I wanted, she'd cook it, and I wanted, she'd cook it, and I'd just tell her I liked I'd just tell her I liked I'd just tell her I liked steak. So she'd make me steak. So she'd make me steak. So she'd make me steak with rice, or steak with steak with rice, or steak with steak with rice, or steak with potatoes, or steak with potatoes, or steak with potatoes, or steak with pasta four times a day, and I pasta four times a day, and I pasta four times a day, and I built so much muscle built so much muscle built so much muscle during that time, and I wasn't eating junk during that time, and I wasn't eating junk during that time, and I wasn't eating junk . I wasn't . I wasn't . I wasn't eating crap food. eating crap food. eating crap food. I remember just putting everything I remember just putting everything I remember just putting everything I could into a shake. Like I could into a shake. Like I could into a shake. Like literally everything, and just blending it first thing in the literally everything, and just blending it first thing in the literally everything, and just blending it first thing in the morning. And really, you know, looking back morning. And really, you know, looking back morning. And really, you know, looking back , if I'd eaten a , if I'd eaten a , if I'd eaten a big, big, big, whole-food breakfast, how much better would that have made me go whole-food breakfast, how much better would that have made me go whole-food breakfast, how much better would that have made me go without having without having without having gastrointestinal issues, aches and gastrointestinal issues, aches and gastrointestinal issues, aches and pains, and all that stuff that kept me from pains, and all that stuff that kept me from pains, and all that stuff that kept me from training as hard, or, you know, training as hard, or, you know, training as hard, or, you know, having problems throughout having problems throughout having problems throughout the day that I had to deal with. the day that I had to deal with. the day that I had to deal with. But yeah, it's like I But yeah, it's like I But yeah, it's like I had no idea. I just thought had no idea. I just thought had no idea. I just thought I had to consume as many I had to consume as many I had to consume as many calories as possible. calories as possible. calories as possible. Well, I remember when Calorie Well, I remember when Calorie Well, I remember when Calorie King, the book before dot.com came out King, the book before dot.com came out King, the book before dot.com came out , I had the Calorie King book , I had the Calorie King book , I had the Calorie King book and I started tracking my macros. and I started tracking my macros. And up until then, I thought And up until then, I thought that because I was doing the things that because I was doing the things that because I was doing the things you said, just eight, you know, you said, just eight, you know, you said, just eight, you know, eight milkshakes and ravioli and eight milkshakes and ravioli and eight milkshakes and ravioli and all that pasta and high- all that pasta and high- all that pasta and high- calorie food, I calorie food, I calorie food, I must be eating enough. Uh, and what was must be eating enough. Uh, and what was must be eating enough. Uh, and what was happening was, there were happening was, there were happening was, there were days when I was eating enough days when I was eating enough days when I was eating enough calories, but even on those days, calories, but even on those days, calories, but even on those days, I was still lacking I was still lacking I was still lacking protein. And on the days when I protein. And on the days when I protein. And on the days when I was eating enough calories... was eating enough calories... I wasn't getting enough calories, I wasn't getting enough calories, I wasn't getting enough calories, I was even lower on I was even lower on I was even lower on protein. I was like, "Oh my protein. I was like, "Oh my protein. I was like, "Oh my god." "And the only way for me to god." "And the only way for me to consistently meet my protein needs was to... And that's what consistently meet my protein needs was to... And that's what I often give to I often give to I often give to people who have trouble eating people who have trouble eating people who have trouble eating protein." So I had to eat protein." So I had to eat protein." So I had to eat healthily because if I ate healthily because if I ate healthily because if I ate that junk food, I that junk food, I that junk food, I realized I would be eating a meal of realized I would be eating a meal of realized I would be eating a meal of over a thousand calories, but I didn't over a thousand calories, but I didn't over a thousand calories, but I didn't want to want to want to eat for four or five hours. eat for four or five hours. eat for four or five hours. And fat. Yeah, so it would be too much for me And fat. Yeah, so it would be too much for me And fat. Yeah, so it would be too much for me , so I wouldn't do it. , so I wouldn't do it. , so I wouldn't do it. So I took 30g of protein, a So I took 30g of protein, a So I took 30g of protein, a thousand calories, you know, and then I didn't thousand calories, you know, and then I didn't thousand calories, you know, and then I didn't want to...I didn't want to want to...I didn't want to want to...I didn't want to eat for four to six hours and eat for four to six hours and eat for four to six hours and I did it again. And besides, man, even if I did it again. And besides, man, even if I did it again. And besides, man, even if I did that four times, I was only I did that four times, I was only I did that four times, I was only eating 120g of protein a eating 120g of protein a eating 120g of protein a day, and that's pretty good. And I day, and that's pretty good. And I day, and that's pretty good. And I thought, because I was having thought, because I was having thought, because I was having protein shakes from time to time, protein shakes from time to time, protein shakes from time to time, that I was consuming enough, and that I was consuming enough, and that I was consuming enough, and that I was just way, way that I was just way, way that I was just way, way below my protein requirements. below my protein requirements. below my protein requirements. You just mentioned something You just mentioned something You just mentioned something in passing, which is eating a in passing, which is eating a in passing, which is eating a lot of calories for pleasure. lot of calories for pleasure. lot of calories for pleasure. Eating calories from Eating calories from Eating calories from junk food also makes you feel junk food also makes you feel junk food also makes you feel bad. bad. bad. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You have no energy, you experience You have no energy, you experience You have no energy, you experience energy dips, your energy dips, your energy dips, your digestive system is not working properly. Then you digestive system is not working properly. Then you digestive system is not working properly. Then you feel weird and bloated, and feel weird and bloated, and feel weird and bloated, and then you think, oh, I then you think, oh, I then you think, oh, I still have to eat, but I can't still have to eat, but I can't still have to eat, but I can't because I just ate that bucket of because I just ate that bucket of because I just ate that bucket of fried chicken or something. Um, and that fried chicken or something. Um, and that fried chicken or something. Um, and that really bothers you. Whereas when you really bothers you. Whereas when you really bothers you. Whereas when you eat all three meals every eat all three meals every eat all three meals every three hours, but they are three hours, but they are three hours, but they are whole natural foods, still high whole natural foods, still high whole natural foods, still high in calories, you have rice, in calories, you have rice, in calories, you have rice, you know, potatoes, you you know, potatoes, you you know, potatoes, you have minced beef or something, have minced beef or something, have minced beef or something, yeah. yeah. yeah. You can eat it again. It's You can eat it again. It's You can eat it again. It's much easier on your much easier on your much easier on your digestion. digestion. digestion. And you feel better. And you And you feel better. And you And you feel better. And you feel...What's your worst meal for feel...What's your worst meal for feel...What's your worst meal for gaining weight? I have some...I have a few that gaining weight? I have some...I have a few that gaining weight? I have some...I have a few that I can I can I can spontaneously think of. spontaneously think of. spontaneously think of. Well, I remember...I mean, Well, I remember...I mean, Well, I remember...I mean, I remember when I used to buy a bucket I remember when I used to buy a bucket I remember when I used to buy a bucket of chicken from KFC thinking it was of chicken from KFC thinking it was of chicken from KFC thinking it was high in protein. high in protein. high in protein. Dude. Dude. Dude. Because I think that's what chicken is, Because I think that's what chicken is, Because I think that's what chicken is, by definition. by definition. by definition. Chicken. Chicken. Chicken. Mostly fat. I'll never Mostly fat. I'll never Mostly fat. I'll never forget that, because it's the forget that, because it's the forget that, because it's the only thing I did for only thing I did for only thing I did for calories; I looked in the book calories; I looked in the book calories; I looked in the book and I remember doing that for a and I remember doing that for a and I remember doing that for a while and thinking it was while and thinking it was while and thinking it was a high-protein food a high-protein food . And I compared a plate of . And I compared a plate of . And I compared a plate of fried chicken to a double Whopper from Burger fried chicken to a double Whopper from Burger fried chicken to a double Whopper from Burger King. And the double Whopper King. And the double Whopper King. And the double Whopper actually had a higher protein ratio actually had a higher protein ratio actually had a higher protein ratio than the chicken. It was as if I than the chicken. It was as if I than the chicken. It was as if I were stunned. I thought to myself: were stunned. I thought to myself: were stunned. I thought to myself: how could I how could I how could I consider this a high- consider this a high- consider this a high- protein dish, when fried chicken protein dish, when fried chicken protein dish, when fried chicken is lower in protein and is lower in protein and is lower in protein and higher in saturated fat than a higher in saturated fat than a higher in saturated fat than a cheeseburger? It really cheeseburger? It really cheeseburger? It really blew my mind and it was like a blew my mind and it was like a blew my mind and it was like a turning point for me, like, turning point for me, like, turning point for me, like, oh, I'm really not doing this oh, I'm really not doing this oh, I'm really not doing this right. right. I have some memories that have I have some memories that have burned me. One of them was a bucket of burned me. One of them was a bucket of burned me.

Prioritize sleep. It will boost your Prioritize sleep. It will boost your Prioritize sleep. It will boost your muscle gains. The studies on this muscle gains. The studies on this muscle gains. The studies on this subject are crazy. When they compare subject are crazy. When they compare subject are crazy. When they compare groups of people and one group groups of people and one group groups of people and one group has suboptimal sleep has suboptimal sleep has suboptimal sleep and the other optimal sleep, the and the other optimal sleep, the and the other optimal sleep, the difference in terms of muscle gain or difference in terms of muscle gain or difference in terms of muscle gain or loss is: spectacular loss is: spectacular . That makes a big difference. I'm going to give . That makes a big difference. I'm going to give . That makes a big difference. I'm going to give you some suggestions for you some suggestions for you some suggestions for supplements, but they don't replace going to supplements, but they don't replace going to supplements, but they don't replace going to bed on time bed on time bed on time and waking up at the same time and waking up at the same time and waking up at the same time every day. So you should every day. So you should every day. So you should always do it, but data always do it, but data always do it, but data shows that glycine, theanine shows that glycine, theanine shows that glycine, theanine and magnesium before bed and magnesium before bed and magnesium before bed greatly improve greatly improve greatly improve people's sleep. So, glycine, people's sleep. So, glycine, people's sleep. So, glycine, theanine and magnesium, try them theanine and magnesium, try them . And finally, you must be extremely . And finally, you must be extremely . And finally, you must be extremely focused and consistent. focused and consistent. focused and consistent. Muscle building is a Muscle building is a Muscle building is a daily process. This is not a daily process. This is not a daily process. This is not a 4-day-a-week process. This is 4-day-a-week process. This is 4-day-a-week process. This is not a process of the type "I not a process of the type "I not a process of the type "I 'm off work from Monday to Friday on 'm off work from Monday to Friday on 'm off work from Monday to Friday on weekends". If you really want to weekends". If you really want to weekends". If you really want to develop significant lean body mass develop significant lean body mass develop significant lean body mass , you need 90 , you need 90 , you need 90 consecutive days of consistency. consecutive days of consistency. consecutive days of consistency. Yeah. That's why it's Yeah. That's why it's Yeah. That's why it's a challenge. Yeah. But at the end of all a challenge. Yeah. But at the end of all a challenge. Yeah. But at the end of all this, many people will come out this, many people will come out this, many people will come out much stronger with much more much stronger with much more much stronger with much more muscle. You need to muscle. You need to muscle. You need to think about preparing for the next think about preparing for the next think about preparing for the next training session and for the one training session and for the one training session and for the one after that. So, you need to think about after that. So, you need to think about after that. So, you need to think about yourself...Keep thinking about yourself...Keep thinking about yourself...Keep thinking about the future. the future. the future. Yes, if you only lift three or Yes, if you only lift three or Yes, if you only lift three or four times a week, think about four times a week, think about four times a week, think about daily regularity, that is, daily regularity, that is, daily regularity, that is, doing something every day doing something every day doing something every day to achieve this process to achieve this process to achieve this process we have just described. For example, we have just described. For example, we have just described. For example, adopting a better adopting a better adopting a better sleep routine, preparing your sleep routine, preparing your sleep routine, preparing your sleep supplements, preparing sleep supplements, preparing sleep supplements, preparing meals for the next day, or packing meals for the next day, or packing meals for the next day, or packing your gym bag. I think your gym bag. I think your gym bag. I think sometimes people take on a sometimes people take on a sometimes people take on a 90-day challenge like this and think, 90-day challenge like this and think, 90-day challenge like this and think, "Oh, I need something "Oh, I need something "Oh, I need something to work out on every day." " to work out on every day." " to work out on every day." " It's like: 'No, every day It's like: 'No, every day It's like: 'No, every day you think about your health journey you think about your health journey .'" "And so, sometimes, when you do .'" "And so, sometimes, when you do .'" "And so, sometimes, when you do n't have a day where you have to go n't have a day where you have to go n't have a day where you have to go to the gym, you can to the gym, you can to the gym, you can walk, prepare your meals or walk, prepare your meals or walk, prepare your meals or pack your gym bag. It's pack your gym bag. It's pack your gym bag. It's like the thing that will make it work like the thing that will make it work like the thing that will make it work for 90 days is for 90 days is for 90 days is thinking about the things you need to thinking about the things you need to thinking about the things you need to do to achieve it. do to achieve it. do to achieve it. Along the same lines, I Along the same lines, I Along the same lines, I remember when we interviewed, remember when we interviewed, remember when we interviewed, I think it was Ben Pakulski, an I think it was Ben Pakulski, an I think it was Ben Pakulski, an IFBB professional bodybuilder, and IFBB professional bodybuilder, and IFBB professional bodybuilder, and I asked him, it was one of the I asked him, it was one of the I asked him, it was one of the first times we had him on first times we had him on first times we had him on the show, "How come the show, "How come the show, "How come these professional bodybuilders are these professional bodybuilders are these professional bodybuilders are already pros? They're already at already pros? They're already at already pros? They're already at their maximum muscle mass. They would their maximum muscle mass. They would their maximum muscle mass. They would go to the Middle East, stay there for go to the Middle East, stay there for go to the Middle East, stay there for a while, and they would a while, and they would a while, and they would all gain 5 or 7 kilos of muscle, which is all gain 5 or 7 kilos of muscle, which is all gain 5 or 7 kilos of muscle, which is incredible for a incredible for a incredible for a professional bodybuilder who is already a pro and professional bodybuilder who is already a pro and professional bodybuilder who is already a pro and still gaining more muscle." still gaining more muscle." For the public who don't know, there's For the public who don't know, there's tons of speculation about them having tons of speculation about them having tons of speculation about them having these these these crazy new steroids out there. There are these crazy new steroids out there. There are these crazy new steroids out there. There are these oxygen bottles they use, oxygen bottles they use, oxygen bottles they use, and I remember very well when and I remember very well when and I remember very well when it started to become popular, it started to become popular, it started to become popular, I was competing. I was competing. I was competing. Yeah. There were all these rumors Yeah. There were all these rumors Yeah. There were all these rumors about what they were taking there. Oh, about what they were taking there. Oh, about what they were taking there. Oh, they have myostatin blockers. they have myostatin blockers. they have myostatin blockers. They were doing... They were doing... They were doing... They didn't have... All the They didn't have... All the They didn't have... All the steroids they had there steroids they had there steroids they had there were the same ones that were the same ones that were the same ones that people have in the United States. people have in the United States. people have in the United States. Nothing was different. Here's the Nothing was different. Here's the Nothing was different. Here's the difference. There was nothing to do difference. There was nothing to do difference. There was nothing to do there except train, eat, and there except train, eat, and there except train, eat, and sleep. And so he said they were going there for sleep. And so he said they were going there for sleep. And so he said they were going there for months. And months. And months. And people prepared their meals, people prepared their meals, people prepared their meals, they trained, they went back they trained, they went back they trained, they went back to their rooms, went to sleep, to their rooms, went to sleep, to their rooms, went to sleep, took naps and they took naps and they took naps and they all gained 5 kg of muscle. all gained 5 kg of muscle. all gained 5 kg of muscle. I remember when I remember when I remember when you asked that question and you asked that question and you asked that question and I was very curious too because I was very curious too because I was very curious too because I knew he had already been there I knew he had already been there . He . He . He told us so. told us so. told us so. Yeah, oh yeah, no, totally. He Yeah, oh yeah, no, totally. He Yeah, oh yeah, no, totally. He was great, I mean, honest and was great, I mean, honest and was great, I mean, honest and transparent about it. And I transparent about it. And I transparent about it. And I remember that at that time, it was remember that at that time, it was remember that at that time, it was the Oxygen Gym over there. It became the Oxygen Gym over there. It became the Oxygen Gym over there. It became super popular and all these bodybuilders were coming back super popular and all these bodybuilders were coming back super popular and all these bodybuilders were coming back saying they'd saying they'd saying they'd gained all that muscle and everyone gained all that muscle and everyone gained all that muscle and everyone was saying, "Oh, they've got a new was saying, "Oh, they've got a new was saying, "Oh, they've got a new steroid over there." And it's like, steroid over there." And it's like, steroid over there." And it's like, no, it's just... And it's so no, it's just... And it's so no, it's just... And it's so funny because at that moment, funny because at that moment, funny because at that moment, I was guilty of speculating too. I was guilty of speculating too. I was guilty of speculating too. Like, "Oh, I hear Like, "Oh, I hear Like, "Oh, I hear myostatin blockers. I hear that." But myostatin blockers. I hear that." But myostatin blockers. I hear that." But hearing him say that is, of hearing him say that is, of hearing him say that is, of course. Of course. Of course, it makes so much course. Of course. Of course, it makes so much course. Of course. Of course, it makes so much sense that it's sense that it's sense that it's probably the greatest thing probably the greatest thing probably the greatest thing they did, what they did there was nothing they did, what they did there was nothing else but live in that hotel, else but live in that hotel, train, eat well and sleep train, eat well and sleep train, eat well and sleep for... for... for... And I asked other And I asked other And I asked other professional bodybuilders, you know professional bodybuilders, you know , thanks to the show, we were able to , thanks to the show, we were able to , thanks to the show, we were able to meet these pros and some of meet these pros and some of meet these pros and some of them became friends and they told me all about it them became friends and they told me all about it them became friends and they told me all about it . They don't care, it's off- . They don't care, it's off- . They don't care, it's off- air. And they confirm the same air. And they confirm the same air. And they confirm the same thing.

That's all they do eat, and lift weights." That's all they do . So, it works, . So, it works, . So, it works, guys, it works. Speaking guys, it works. Speaking guys, it works. Speaking of exercise, you know, I know that we of exercise, you know, I know that we of exercise, you know, I know that we talk a lot about corrective exercises. talk a lot about corrective exercises. talk a lot about corrective exercises. I've experienced the power of I've experienced the power of I've experienced the power of corrective exercises with my clients, corrective exercises with my clients, corrective exercises with my clients, you know, and I have countless you know, and I have countless you know, and I have countless examples of people who examples of people who examples of people who hired me or are now with our hired me or are now with our hired me or are now with our trainers here at Mind Pump who come in trainers here at Mind Pump who come in trainers here at Mind Pump who come in with back pain that's been with back pain that's been with back pain that's been plaguing them for, you know, a plaguing them for, you know, a plaguing them for, you know, a decade, or knee pain or decade, or knee pain or decade, or knee pain or whatever. I remember having whatever. I remember having whatever. I remember having clients who would say, "Oh, I can't clients who would say, "Oh, I can't clients who would say, "Oh, I can't do certain exercises. My do certain exercises. My do certain exercises. My knee is, you know, I have knee is, you know, I have knee is, you know, I have knee problems. It's been hurting me knee problems. It's been hurting me knee problems. It's been hurting me for years. "And then we for years. "And then we for years. "And then we do corrective exercises and in do corrective exercises and in do corrective exercises and in a month, it's off, off, off. a month, it's off, off, off. a month, it's off, off, off. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Um, and I have countless examples of Um, and I have countless examples of Um, and I have countless examples of that. But there's nothing like experiencing it that. But there's nothing like experiencing it that. But there's nothing like experiencing it yourself. Absolutely yourself. Absolutely yourself. Absolutely not. I've done it to so many people. not. I've done it to so many people. But now I do it myself. But now I do it myself. So I had a sort of So I had a sort of So I had a sort of instability pain in my left hip instability pain in my left hip instability pain in my left hip for a little while and I managed for a little while and I managed for a little while and I managed to get around it through weight training to get around it through weight training to get around it through weight training because I can lift in a because I can lift in a because I can lift in a certain way and I'm cool certain way and I'm cool certain way and I'm cool and everything's fine. And sometimes, and everything's fine. And sometimes, and everything's fine. And sometimes, it bothers me. Then I started it bothers me. Then I started it bothers me. Then I started doing jiu-jitsu again and it doing jiu-jitsu again and it doing jiu-jitsu again and it started hurting so much that it started hurting so much that it started hurting so much that it hurt to bend over to tie hurt to bend over to tie hurt to bend over to tie my shoes. I had to stop my shoes. I had to stop my shoes. I had to stop jiu-jitsu and I thought, "You know jiu-jitsu and I thought, "You know jiu-jitsu and I thought, "You know what? I have to sort out what's going on. what? I have to sort out what's going on. " And now, this is the craziest thing. " And now, this is the craziest thing. " And now, this is the craziest thing. In my head, I'm thinking what In my head, I'm thinking what In my head, I'm thinking what many clients are thinking: "I many clients are thinking: "I many clients are thinking: "I probably have probably have probably have joint damage." I wonder if I'll joint damage." I wonder if I'll joint damage." I wonder if I'll need need need hip surgery at some point. Well, hip surgery at some point. Well, hip surgery at some point. Well, here's what I did. I went here's what I did. I went here's what I did. I went to the gym and did some to the gym and did some to the gym and did some hip lateral pull-ups. hip lateral pull-ups. hip lateral pull-ups. Lateral traction. That's all. And I know I Lateral traction. That's all. And I know I Lateral traction. That's all. And I know I need need need lateral stability. And you know what happened lateral stability. And you know what happened lateral stability. And you know what happened ? Two or three weeks later, ? Two or three weeks later, ? Two or three weeks later, no more hip pain. No more no more hip pain. No more no more hip pain. No more hip pain. Here we go. hip pain. Here we go. hip pain. Here we go. It's completely gone. Just by It's completely gone. Just by It's completely gone. Just by simply doing simply doing simply doing lateral pull-ups. That's why lateral pull-ups. That's why lateral pull-ups. That's why I have a I have a I have a story too. I've always complained about story too. I've always complained about story too. I've always complained about my hips when I wake up in the morning, they're my hips when I wake up in the morning, they're my hips when I wake up in the morning, they're really tight. And, you know, really tight. And, you know, really tight. And, you know, particularly in my particularly in my particularly in my hip flexor, it sends me a hip flexor, it sends me a hip flexor, it sends me a pain signal sporadically pain signal sporadically pain signal sporadically and all the time. And I think to myself, ah, and all the time. And I think to myself, ah, and all the time. And I think to myself, ah, I'm trying all these I'm trying all these I'm trying all these mobility movements and I'm really trying to mobility movements and I'm really trying to mobility movements and I'm really trying to find a way to statically stretch them find a way to statically stretch them find a way to statically stretch them and treat them. And it's and treat them. And it's and treat them. And it's like, man, I needed to like, man, I needed to like, man, I needed to strengthen them. And I really needed to strengthen them. And I really needed to strengthen them. And I really needed to focus on strengthening them. focus on strengthening them. focus on strengthening them. And I started doing a lot of And I started doing a lot of And I started doing a lot of movements where I get into these movements where I get into these movements where I get into these isometric positions and I really emphasize that isometric positions and I really emphasize that . And then I started . And then I started . And then I started adding kettlebells to it. And just like adding kettlebells to it. And just like adding kettlebells to it. And just like you, it's like, duh, like, wow, you, it's like, duh, like, wow, you, it's like, duh, like, wow, incredible. It's working, you know, I incredible. It's working, you know, I incredible. It's working, you know, I feel good and it's but feel good and it's but feel good and it's but consistency, I really have to consistency, I really have to consistency, I really have to keep going because it will come back. keep going because it will come back. keep going because it will come back. So, So, So, has any of you incorporated the has any of you incorporated the has any of you incorporated the isometric slits I told you about? isometric slits I told you about? isometric slits I told you about? No, no, no. No, no, no. No, no, no. Oh, that changed everything. Yes yes. That's how Oh, that changed everything. Yes yes. That's how Oh, that changed everything. Yes yes. That's how I start all I start all I start all my lower body movements my lower body movements my lower body movements now. It's just that, because now. It's just that, because now. It's just that, because I'm the same and I had to do I'm the same and I had to do I'm the same and I had to do all those lateral exercises and all all those lateral exercises and all all those lateral exercises and all that and 90s, 90s or that and 90s, 90s or that and 90s, 90s or leg swings or Miguel-assisted plans leg swings or Miguel-assisted plans leg swings or Miguel-assisted plans , like all those things I do , like all those things I do , like all those things I do to prepare for squats or to prepare for squats or to prepare for squats or deadlifts; and I was able to do deadlifts; and I was able to do deadlifts; and I was able to do two long sets of two long sets of two long sets of isometric walking lunges, where I do isometric walking lunges, where I do isometric walking lunges, where I do these isometric holds of 5 to 10 these isometric holds of 5 to 10 these isometric holds of 5 to 10 seconds between the two. And my legs seconds between the two. And my legs seconds between the two. And my legs and hips are just awake and hips are just awake and hips are just awake and I feel so good. and I feel so good. and I feel so good. That's crazy. A significant percentage, I That's crazy. A significant percentage, I That's crazy. A significant percentage, I would say that the majority of would say that the majority of would say that the majority of chronic pain in an average person chronic pain in an average person chronic pain in an average person can be corrected with the right can be corrected with the right can be corrected with the right corrective exercise. There are people corrective exercise. There are people corrective exercise. There are people listening right now who listening right now who listening right now who simply deny that we need to simply deny that we need to simply deny that we need to address weakness. address weakness. address weakness. But I'm telling you that when your But I'm telling you that when your But I'm telling you that when your body starts moving properly, body starts moving properly, body starts moving properly, it doesn't hurt. It doesn't it doesn't hurt. It doesn't it doesn't hurt. It doesn't hurt. It's different from being injured. It's hurt. It's different from being injured. It's different than if you had injured yourself. But many people different than if you had injured yourself. But many people suffer from chronic pain suffer from chronic pain suffer from chronic pain because their body moves in a because their body moves in a because their body moves in a way that hurts them. way that hurts them. way that hurts them. Yeah, it's not optimal, you're Yeah, it's not optimal, you're Yeah, it's not optimal, you're weak, and weak, and weak, and not only that, and it's not only that, and it's not only that, and it's something I've also experienced, because something I've also experienced, because something I've also experienced, because one of the things I've noticed one of the things I've noticed one of the things I've noticed in my current journey is how much in my current journey is how much in my current journey is how much I've reduced inflammation. And I've reduced inflammation. And I've reduced inflammation. And you make it worse with a little you make it worse with a little you make it worse with a little extra weight or inflammation. extra weight or inflammation. extra weight or inflammation. So, you have weakness and So, you have weakness and So, you have weakness and instability in joints instability in joints instability in joints like the hips and knees. And like the hips and knees. And like the hips and knees. And then things either get worse or better for then things either get worse or better for then things either get worse or better for you. And then, yes, and then you're you. And then, yes, and then you're you. And then, yes, and then you're also a little inflamed, and I have also a little inflamed, and I have also a little inflamed, and I have the impression that the average person the impression that the average person the impression that the average person who suffers from chronic pain has who suffers from chronic pain has who suffers from chronic pain has this constant state of this constant state of this constant state of low-intensity inflammation. And then they have low-intensity inflammation. And then they have low-intensity inflammation. And then they have this chronic pain, and then this this chronic pain, and then this this chronic pain, and then this weakness, and it's just like, "Oh weakness, and it's just like, "Oh weakness, and it's just like, "Oh my god, it feels like it's my god, it feels like it's my god, it feels like it's impossible or we always have to deal impossible or we always have to deal impossible or we always have to deal with it." It's like you're cutting back with it." It's like you're cutting back a little bit, reducing a little bit, reducing the inflammation a little bit, and working on the inflammation a little bit, and working on the inflammation a little bit, and working on that weakness with that weakness with that weakness with isometric exercises and stuff like that. isometric exercises and stuff like that. isometric exercises and stuff like that. It's magical. That's literally the It's magical. That's literally the It's magical. That's literally the case. And it can change your life, but case. And it can change your life, but case. And it can change your life, but it just requires effort to it just requires effort to it just requires effort to work on it. And I would say that work on it. And I would say that work on it. And I would say that you said that I would say the you said that I would say the you said that I would say the majority. I mean, when I think back majority. I mean, when I think back majority. I mean, when I think back on all the clients I on all the clients I on all the clients I train, I mean a very train, I mean a very train, I mean a very small percentage, maybe 10 to 15% small percentage, maybe 10 to 15% of the clients with pain that of the clients with pain that of the clients with pain that I've treated had some kind of I've treated had some kind of I've treated had some kind of acute injury. You know, it's rare acute injury. You know, it's rare acute injury. You know, it's rare that I've had it. I had a person that I've had it. I had a person that I've had it. I had a person who broke a bone or had a who broke a bone or had a who broke a bone or had a herniated disc or something like herniated disc or something like herniated disc or something like that. Yeah, who had that. Yeah, who had that. Yeah, who had major surgery or something like major surgery or something like major surgery or something like that. I had that, but it was that. I had that, but it was that. I had that, but it was a very small percentage. The a very small percentage. The a very small percentage. The majority of clients were majority of clients were majority of clients were middle-aged or older and had excess middle-aged or older and had excess middle-aged or older and had excess body fat. They suffered body fat. They suffered body fat. They suffered from chronic pain in their knee, lower from chronic pain in their knee, lower from chronic pain in their knee, lower back or shoulder, and it was back or shoulder, and it was back or shoulder, and it was not due to an acute injury. Yes, not due to an acute injury. Yes, not due to an acute injury. Yes, it's simply because things it's simply because things it's simply because things have gotten worse over the years. And have gotten worse over the years. And maybe they had a scenario, which maybe they had a scenario, which maybe they had a scenario, which is common, and I think is common, and I think is common, and I think people sometimes confuse these two things people sometimes confuse these two things , is that they did something that , is that they did something that , is that they did something that really... really... really... Yes, they had an injury since Yes, they had an injury since Yes, they had an injury since it was healed. it was healed. it was healed. That's correct. That's correct. So they That's correct. That's correct. So they That's correct. That's correct. So they did something that changed them, did something that changed them, did something that changed them, and they said to themselves, "Oh, that's an and they said to themselves, "Oh, that's an and they said to themselves, "Oh, that's an acute injury that hurt my back acute injury that hurt my back ." "It's as if it was due to ." "It's as if it was due to ." "It's as if it was due to weakness and instability, to a weakness and instability, to a weakness and instability, to a minor injury; the injury has minor injury; the injury has minor injury; the injury has healed, but you still have the healed, but you still have the healed, but you still have the chronic pain that results from it." " chronic pain that results from it." " chronic pain that results from it." " And this is due to And this is due to And this is due to movement patterns and weaknesses that have movement patterns and weaknesses that have movement patterns and weaknesses that have not been addressed." Add to that not been addressed." Add to that not been addressed." Add to that another layer, the another layer, the another layer, the systemic inflammation you're systemic inflammation you're systemic inflammation you're dealing with all the time, and it just dealing with all the time, and it just dealing with all the time, and it just exacerbates everything. I will exacerbates everything. I will exacerbates everything. I will say this: I have never had a single say this: I have never had a single say this: I have never had a single client suffering from pain who did not client suffering from pain who did not client suffering from pain who did not improve significantly through improve significantly through improve significantly through corrective exercises. Now, I have had corrective exercises. Now, I have had corrective exercises. Now, I have had clients whose pain has clients whose pain has clients whose pain has not completely disappeared. It was not completely disappeared. It was not completely disappeared. It was actually quite rare. Most of my actually quite rare. Most of my actually quite rare. Most of my clients have seen their pain clients have seen their pain clients have seen their pain disappear completely. Sometimes disappear completely. Sometimes disappear completely. Sometimes it took months. Often, it it took months. Often, it it took months. Often, it took weeks. And as I said took weeks. And as I said , most of them have , most of them have , most of them have completely disappeared. And as I completely disappeared. And as I completely disappeared. And as I said, I've had a few where the said, I've had a few where the said, I've had a few where the pain pain pain improved considerably, but it was still improved considerably, but it was still improved considerably, but it was still there, but their quality of life there, but their quality of life there, but their quality of life exploded. I have never had a exploded. I have never had a exploded. I have never had a situation, ever, with a client where situation, ever, with a client where situation, ever, with a client where the pain did not at least the pain did not at least the pain did not at least improve. improve. improve. Oh, yes. It's always getting better. Oh, yes. It's always getting better. Oh, yes. It's always getting better. Yeah. Such. Yeah. Such. Yeah. Such. I was going to ask you, Adam, because I was going to ask you, Adam, because I was going to ask you, Adam, because you love Caldera Lab soap. you love Caldera Lab soap. you love Caldera Lab soap.

Studies have now come out, Studies have now come out, Studies have now come out, as if to support what I called as if to support what I called as if to support what I called some time ago, some time ago, some time ago, that these are the new that these are the new that these are the new longevity drugs in the world of longevity drugs in the world of longevity drugs in the world of medicine. And we see that with the medicine. And we see that with the medicine. And we see that with the way they improve way they improve way they improve endothelial health, don't we? So, endothelial health, don't we? So, endothelial health, don't we? So, because it causes vasodilation, because it causes vasodilation, because it causes vasodilation, because it inhibits an enzyme that because it inhibits an enzyme that because it inhibits an enzyme that breaks down nitric oxide, your breaks down nitric oxide, your breaks down nitric oxide, your blood vessels relax. This blood vessels relax. This blood vessels relax. This keeps them healthier. keeps them healthier. keeps them healthier. Improved blood circulation. Improved blood circulation.

They do it either in microdoses, like They do it either in microdoses, like They do it either in microdoses, like a small daily dose, or once a small daily dose, or once a small daily dose, or once a week, they do one dose. a week, they do one dose. a week, they do one dose. Yeah, I've already listened to a few Yeah, I've already listened to a few Yeah, I've already listened to a few people interviewing and talking about... people interviewing and talking about... So, it's really So, it's really So, it's really becoming a longevity drug. becoming a longevity drug. becoming a longevity drug. There has been a new There has been a new There has been a new observational study, hence the small observational study, hence the small observational study, hence the small asterisks here. There are no asterisks here. There are no asterisks here. There are no controlled studies on this subject yet. But controlled studies on this subject yet. But controlled studies on this subject yet. But there is an observational study that there is an observational study that there is an observational study that shows it also reduces shows it also reduces shows it also reduces cancer. PDE5 has anti-cancer effects cancer. PDE5 has anti-cancer effects cancer. PDE5 has anti-cancer effects . . . What is your theory on What is your theory on What is your theory on why? why? why? Well, they already have a theory Well, they already have a theory Well, they already have a theory about why. So, it's about how about why. So, it's about how about why. So, it's about how it affects the way it affects the way it affects the way cholesterol circulates in the body, which cholesterol circulates in the body, which cholesterol circulates in the body, which prevents, uh, the way prevents, uh, the way prevents, uh, the way cancer is made. cancer is made. cancer is made. It's not like he's making it It's not like he's making it It's not like he's making it circulate more smoothly? circulate more smoothly? circulate more smoothly? As if he were pumping it. As if he were pumping it. As if he were pumping it. There's something else he does, and you There's something else he does, and you There's something else he does, and you can check it out, man. So, can check it out, man. So, can check it out, man. So, they are being studied to slow they are being studied to slow they are being studied to slow tumor growth, reduce tumor growth, reduce tumor growth, reduce metastases, induce immunity, and metastases, induce immunity, and metastases, induce immunity, and stimulate the immune response against stimulate the immune response against stimulate the immune response against various cancers. various cancers. various cancers. Wow. Wow. Wow. They increase cyclic GMP levels They increase cyclic GMP levels They increase cyclic GMP levels , which can suppress the , which can suppress the , which can suppress the proliferation of proliferation of proliferation of cancer cells and improve the effectiveness cancer cells and improve the effectiveness cancer cells and improve the effectiveness of standard chemotherapy. But there is of standard chemotherapy. But there is of standard chemotherapy. But there is also something it does, uh also something it does, uh , where it prevents cancers, which , where it prevents cancers, which , where it prevents cancers, which blocks something that blocks something that blocks something that cancer cells need. It's right there, just right there cancer cells need. It's right there, just right there cancer cells need. It's right there, just right there . High levels of cGMP . High levels of cGMP . High levels of cGMP can interfere with can interfere with can interfere with intracellular cholesterol transport, intracellular cholesterol transport, intracellular cholesterol transport, limiting the cholesterol stores limiting the cholesterol stores limiting the cholesterol stores that cancer cells that cancer cells that cancer cells need to grow and need to grow and need to grow and spread. spread. Interesting. Interesting. And it's literally being studied right now And it's literally being studied right now And it's literally being studied right now . Now, the cool thing about . Now, the cool thing about . Now, the cool thing about cancer cells is cancer cells is cancer cells is that... Well, not cool. What makes that... Well, not cool. What makes that... Well, not cool. What makes cancer treatment difficult is that cancer treatment difficult is that cancer treatment difficult is that generally what starves a generally what starves a generally what starves a cancer cell also starves other cancer cell also starves other cancer cell also starves other cells. But there are cells. But there are cells. But there are interesting ways to starve or inhibit interesting ways to starve or inhibit interesting ways to starve or inhibit cancer cells that do cancer cells that do cancer cells that do not affect healthy cells. A not affect healthy cells. A not affect healthy cells. A good example is the Warburg effect, which good example is the Warburg effect, which good example is the Warburg effect, which is... This is not true for all is... This is not true for all is... This is not true for all cancers, but for many cancers, cancers, but for many cancers, cancers, but for many cancers, they are unable to function with they are unable to function with they are unable to function with ketones. They just need ketones. They just need ketones. They just need sugar to function. So when sugar to function. So when sugar to function. So when you get rid of them and you get rid of them and you get rid of them and operate with ketones, many of operate with ketones, many of operate with ketones, many of these cancer cells starve to these cancer cells starve to these cancer cells starve to death. While your other death. While your other death. While your other cancer cells continue to...Sorry, cancer cells continue to...Sorry, cancer cells continue to...Sorry, your other cells continue to live your other cells continue to live . Well, that's kind of what could . Well, that's kind of what could . Well, that's kind of what could happen. happen. happen.

But one of the things Lifetime did really well, and which explains really well, and which explains really well, and which explains why they are thriving right now, why they are thriving right now, why they are thriving right now, and they have basically surpassed and they have basically surpassed and they have basically surpassed companies like 24, UFC and all those companies like 24, UFC and all those companies like 24, UFC and all those other gyms, is that they were other gyms, is that they were other gyms, is that they were smart from the smart from the smart from the start: they went into start: they went into start: they went into real estate. real estate. real estate. Oh, so that makes sense to me. Oh, so that makes sense to me. They own their They own their buildings. Oh, I think so. But buildings. Oh, I think so. But buildings. Oh, I think so. But perhaps I'm wrong. Doug, I perhaps I'm wrong. Doug, I perhaps I'm wrong. Doug, I 'm pretty sure that's what 'm pretty sure that's what 'm pretty sure that's what gave them that advantage, that they've gave them that advantage, that they've gave them that advantage, that they've owned their buildings for a while now...Yeah owned their buildings for a while now...Yeah , because you know how , because you know how , because you know how hard it is to make a hard it is to make a hard it is to make a gym really, really profitable.

Is first question is from Josh Malloy. Is first question is from Josh Malloy. Is there a strategy to there a strategy to there a strategy to reduce protein-laden flatulence? I am asking reduce protein-laden flatulence? I am asking reduce protein-laden flatulence? I am asking this question on behalf of my wife and this question on behalf of my wife and this question on behalf of my wife and daughters. daughters. daughters. You know, it really becomes a You know, it really becomes a You know, it really becomes a problem when the protein you problem when the protein you problem when the protein you consume is something consume is something consume is something you are intolerant to. you are intolerant to. you are intolerant to. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So, you could also consume it So, you could also consume it So, you could also consume it because of the because of the because of the shakes. shakes. shakes. You may need to change your You may need to change your You may need to change your protein source. So, uh, you might be taking protein source. So, uh, you might be taking whey protein, whey protein, whey protein, you could have a you could have a you could have a dairy intolerance, in which case you dairy intolerance, in which case you dairy intolerance, in which case you could switch to something else. could switch to something else. could switch to something else. Egg protein powders can Egg protein powders can Egg protein powders can still cause some side effects due to still cause some side effects due to still cause some side effects due to the sulfur compound, the amount of the sulfur compound, the amount of the sulfur compound, the amount of sulfur in eggs. But it's sulfur in eggs. But it's sulfur in eggs. But it's really a digestibility problem really a digestibility problem . You may need to change your . You may need to change your . You may need to change your protein source. Otherwise, they shouldn't cause any problems protein source. Otherwise, they shouldn't cause any problems protein source. Otherwise, they shouldn't cause any problems . Now there is . Now there is . Now there is another problem. Sometimes people get another problem. Sometimes people get another problem. Sometimes people get constipated with a lot of protein, constipated with a lot of protein, constipated with a lot of protein, in which case increase your fiber intake. But in which case increase your fiber intake. But in which case increase your fiber intake. But the gas part, uh, that shouldn't the gas part, uh, that shouldn't the gas part, uh, that shouldn't be a problem. be a problem. be a problem. Uh, animal proteins are quite Uh, animal proteins are quite , I mean, you can , I mean, you can , I mean, you can synthesize them. They are quite synthesize them. They are quite synthesize them. They are quite bioavailable. So I mean, yes, bioavailable. So I mean, yes, bioavailable. So I mean, yes, I think most of the time it's I think most of the time it's I think most of the time it's probably due to a probably due to a probably due to a dairy source or some other intolerance dairy source or some other intolerance dairy source or some other intolerance you're eating that's causing it. you're eating that's causing it. you're eating that's causing it. So, could you try out what So, could you try out what So, could you try out what you're having me use right now, you're having me use right now, you're having me use right now, which I find interesting? which I find interesting? which I find interesting? I'm observing how much I'm observing how much I'm observing how much easier it is for my digestion when I use it. easier it is for my digestion when I use it. easier it is for my digestion when I use it. I've already mentioned this, I can I've already mentioned this, I can I've already mentioned this, I can consume whey. But I consume whey. But I consume whey. But I really have a limit on the really have a limit on the really have a limit on the quantity, especially in one go. quantity, especially in one go. quantity, especially in one go. It's true. If It's true. If I do something, for example, I do something, for example, like take a magic spoonful of like take a magic spoonful of like take a magic spoonful of cereal that is infused with cereal that is infused with cereal that is infused with whey protein to boost whey protein to boost whey protein to boost protein with protein with protein with vitamin D milk, which is more like that, vitamin D milk, which is more like that, vitamin D milk, which is more like that, that amount of that amount of dairy in one go dairy in one go can make me feel that way. If I can make me feel that way. If I can make me feel that way. If I take take take dairy enzymes, uh, dairy enzymes, uh, dairy enzymes, uh, dairy enzymes, dairy enzymes, dairy enzymes, and that tends to mitigate it. and that tends to mitigate it. and that tends to mitigate it. So, the main thing is, you can try So, the main thing is, you can try So, the main thing is, you can try digestive enzymes and if it's digestive enzymes and if it's digestive enzymes and if it's milk, you want to make sure that the milk, you want to make sure that the milk, you want to make sure that the digestive enzymes contain the digestive enzymes contain the digestive enzymes contain the lactase enzyme which breaks down lactose. Uh, lactase enzyme which breaks down lactose. Uh, lactase enzyme which breaks down lactose. Uh, in addition, it will contain enzymes that in addition, it will contain enzymes that in addition, it will contain enzymes that break down proteins. You break down proteins. You break down proteins. You can try. Take a can try. Take a can try. Take a good dose with your good dose with your good dose with your protein drinks and see if it makes protein drinks and see if it makes protein drinks and see if it makes a difference. Uh, but again, a difference. Uh, but again, a difference. Uh, but again, often you need to change your often you need to change your often you need to change your protein source. protein source. protein source. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Switching to, you know, vegan or Switching to, you know, vegan or Switching to, you know, vegan or egg, uh, or you know, beef egg, uh, or you know, beef . . . You can now buy You can now buy You can now buy beef protein. beef protein. beef protein. I imagine that quality also plays a I imagine that quality also plays a I imagine that quality also plays a role, because even Legion is role, because even Legion is role, because even Legion is completely different from some completely different from some completely different from some other products. other products. other products. Yes, whey protein isolate tends Yes, whey protein isolate tends Yes, whey protein isolate tends to be easier for to be easier for to be easier for some people to digest than other forms some people to digest than other forms . . . Yes, Paleo Valley bone broth is Yes, Paleo Valley bone broth is Yes, Paleo Valley bone broth is excellent. excellent. excellent. Oh, bone broth. Oh, bone broth. Oh, bone broth. It's good for gut health. It's good for gut health. It's good for gut health. That's great. That's That's great. That's That's great. That's why I try not to consume why I try not to consume why I try not to consume whey. I like whey. whey. I like whey. whey. I like whey. Whey tastes good. It is Whey tastes good. It is Whey tastes good. It is also used in many also used in many also used in many food products, such as food products, such as food products, such as magic spoon type products. magic spoon type products. magic spoon type products. So I ended up consuming it anyway So I ended up consuming it anyway . So I learned that there's a threshold . So I learned that there's a threshold . So I learned that there's a threshold before I notice these kinds of before I notice these kinds of before I notice these kinds of things. And many people just things. And many people just things. And many people just fart, they don't see anything abnormal fart, they don't see anything abnormal fart, they don't see anything abnormal in their stools, they don't see anything, in their stools, they don't see anything, in their stools, they don't see anything, so they think they are very well so they think they are very well , but they have a slight , but they have a slight , but they have a slight intolerance. Reducing the number of steps intolerance. Reducing the number of steps intolerance. Reducing the number of steps you take in a single session you take in a single session you take in a single session can therefore help you. Try can therefore help you. Try can therefore help you. Try digestive enzymes, they might digestive enzymes, they might digestive enzymes, they might help. Obviously, changing methods help. Obviously, changing methods help. Obviously, changing methods almost always helps. The almost always helps. The almost always helps. The following question is from Barbie 21. I following question is from Barbie 21. I following question is from Barbie 21. I work in an office, so work in an office, so work in an office, so reaching my daily goal of reaching my daily goal of reaching my daily goal of 10,000 steps takes a lot of effort. I 10,000 steps takes a lot of effort. I 10,000 steps takes a lot of effort. I find that in the weeks when I manage to find that in the weeks when I manage to find that in the weeks when I manage to achieve these goals, I have very achieve these goals, I have very achieve these goals, I have very strong pain due to strong pain due to strong pain due to plantar fasciitis. I was in the plantar fasciitis. I was in the plantar fasciitis. I was in the military police, so I suffered from this military police, so I suffered from this military police, so I suffered from this pain for years, but I never pain for years, but I never pain for years, but I never really did anything really did anything really did anything or underwent physical therapy or underwent physical therapy or underwent physical therapy for it. Do you have any for it. Do you have any for it. Do you have any recommendations for those trying recommendations for those trying recommendations for those trying to reach their walking goals to reach their walking goals to reach their walking goals while suffering from pain due to while suffering from pain due to while suffering from pain due to plantar fasciitis? plantar fasciitis? Yes, you should know that this is Yes, you should know that this is often due to tension in the often due to tension in the often due to tension in the calves. So, the gastrocnemius muscle calves. So, the gastrocnemius muscle , the soleus muscle, you need to , the soleus muscle, you need to , the soleus muscle, you need to gain flexibility. Ankle mobility gain flexibility. Ankle mobility gain flexibility. Ankle mobility can help. Tension in can help. Tension in can help. Tension in these areas can cause these areas can cause these areas can cause plantar fasciitis. Combat stretching plantar fasciitis. Combat stretching plantar fasciitis. Combat stretching is therefore a good movement. And you is therefore a good movement. And you is therefore a good movement. And you know, when you try know, when you try know, when you try to improve your flexibility in this to improve your flexibility in this to improve your flexibility in this way, the more you practice throughout way, the more you practice throughout way, the more you practice throughout the day, the better. the day, the better. the day, the better. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So, it's not like you're So, it's not like you're So, it's not like you're stretching once a week. You stretching once a week. You stretching once a week. You need to do this throughout the need to do this throughout the need to do this throughout the day. day. day. Short, simple stretching habits. Short, simple stretching habits. Short, simple stretching habits. It's true. So you have your It's true. So you have your It's true. So you have your traditional calf stretches traditional calf stretches traditional calf stretches and then you have the ones where you are on your and then you have the ones where you are on your and then you have the ones where you are on your knees that stretch the soleus.
