welcome back to the time you want to mention does our next speaker has been involved in the air pharmaceutical industry for many years uh... he's attempted to better the nation's health uh... through the use of pharmaceuticals however are when he began to improves own life to ob gyn exercise he began to see an in congruence between were used in the pharmaceutical industry and away using his own life so when he saw an opportunity to partner with the fish in exercise in austin texas seize that opportunity and now he's been very successful ineffective ever since please open the stage keepers but so does this let's say and ladies acted this one to say that uh... how excited i am to be here speaking with you guys and uh... just when i think anthony and uh... ernment for put this on good stuff here go into a little bit uh... deluded deeper of why i can stand here in front of you and speakers said is an expert on physical culture it's been a long long learning experience just it quickly died in two to my youth about uh... twelve years old i'm really going to dictate myself here but at about twelve years old i had a number of things happen in close proximity to one another one of those words meeting arnold schwarzenegger and uh... yet edit opening at sporting goods store this was in nineteen seventy five uh... right about the time of the seventy-five olympia also at that time pumping iron affinity any of you have ever seen that documentary that was just about to roll out also if you can remember at that time also um... seventy six olympics are gearing up in as a young kid i was really following uh... bruce jenner at that time in the first rocky movie came out so all these things kinda came together to a kid who is just getting into uh... uh... playing football in central texas which is huge it's it's a religion in central texas i was also involved in martial arts and a track and field and i was lucky enough to be surrounded by coaches who were forward-thinking enough to show me to teach me that one i could better myself through physical training through training for these different events and not just rely on any kind of any kind of uh... inherited talent that i might have had which was also a ltd because that continued on in the physical cauldron in the pursuit of working out to better myself so i could compete on a higher level knowing all the time that my that uh... the talents i came into this world rather limited so i trained myself to be better but anyway there's three things done meeting arnold face-to-face and i can save it at that time he was indeed enormous human being enormous and as a twelve-year-old kid i was just star-struck but also at the same time i remember following bruce jenner and thinking act as a phenomenal athlete of his did does not look anything like arnold so what what's going on here obviously obviously we train for two different things we train for aesthetic purposes hypertrophy we also train to better ourselves in in an athletic environment and australia pieces together as a twelve-year-old kid and that's what started my my path the physical culture i knew there had to be there had to be something there on top of genetics obviously certain people are adhered genetically towards hypertrophy in in towards aesthetic there are also people who argue genetically towards an expression of this in a more athletic ralph and there's a whole lot of people probably everyone in this room including myself is somewhere in the middle what gets neglected normally when we talk about physical court culture of these people in the middle most everything you read is geared towards a high-end athletes so then it's up to you to try to figure out if the high-end athlete is doing this what do i do i don't have that time i don't have time to spin four five six hours a day on the track in the gym i just don't have time to do that so what it what am i to do and what generally happens is what i see happening is people try is best they can number one e-ticket emulate at its best they can while they're working while they're going to school it will happen if he can't be sustained for a while you can do that so what generally happens is after that people just drop off the face of it if that's what it takes for me to be athletic that's what it takes for me to be healthy and i can't do it i don't need it might have find some of the pursuit of this let it go but i'm here to tell you that that's not true you can you can't do quite quite a bit even though you're not a professional athlete even though you cannot put that time rededicate that time into that person went to drop you are just a second is kind of the thirty thousand foot view of what i turn physical culture everybody needs a roadmap in everybody's roadmap is going to be a little bit different that everybody's roadmap the template is gonna look the same the trick is finding your place on that map to find your place or where you are now it where you want to be and then plan a route that had to get for me to be and that's what we're gonna talk a little bit today how to do that denied they had a right but that the other hand or you can start we start with a road map this is what that road map looks like real quick first thing we want to look at his health as opposed to performance and all split performance up into aesthetics and sporting performance because there's a few totally different two totally different directions whenever we start whatever we start our training program health and i'll get into one-eyed one-eyed term health because that's why drinking health winds up looking like this once we start training obviously our health care was up then we get a gray area right around in here that gray area continues on over to another area here and i'll explain these points in just a bit manicurist thing happens as we go along as we continue to train as we continue to increase intensity as we continue to increase the time they were doing this as we start ramping up wrapping up ramping up a curious thing happens to wear eventually health takes a big time plunge first just uh... but on top of that well i'll call performance it's going to be up to you to determine what performances whether we're looking for aesthetics or where they were looking for supporting performance and like i say that you aren't necessarily the same as we begin the training our performance obviously if we do it right it's gonna follow it through directory that looks like that yes my health is increased my performances also increased i'm putting on more muscle mass in a case of uh... a nine e three o client that i had that means she can get out of in and out of her car without hell nothing she can even driver freaking car to the club that means you can follow ended up in operated hit so all of this this whole chart here is going to be determined upon you it's gonna be in equals one all of this year for born into this world with certain genetic gifts and limitations as well the key is to take those gifts in limitations and do the best you can with them so that you can been project the phenotype onto the environment that is the best they can be so i don't necessary compare myself to you or a few thirteen to you i compare myself to me the best if i can be i can look to other people that have the same general genetic predispositions as i do is it that you could give me an idea of where i can go but i can't compete against them in that way so that's the first mindset thing that you have to get in here this is an internal in internal challenge it's also what makes it a lifelong pursuit that's why i couldn't have done this for or god now thirty-five something years and still everytime i go into the gym everytime i try to wait i can be jacked about it okay because i'm looking at it from a different point of view the workout itself is not an and instrument means to an end really i'm pretty much tapped out as far as what i might be physically in fact right now i'm probably doing what i can to hang on but that doesn't matter ideas a lot more out of the workout mentally spiritually then just chasing numbers will get into that little bit so performance as i go along here my health and now the find that here in a minute is gonna cut into extended in a gray area here an unknown area we know we can maximize health performance pretty quick without a whole lot of time spent in the gym on the track but i can continue this performance curve in this performance for a chronic creek reprieve i'm getting better and getting more muscular better performance better athletic performance an inner comes a point out here i'll call c with the competitive athletes lives the competitive athletes lives in this area out here ald cartography rhys the old world whenever they mapped the end of the known world if that heads at the border that matt they put there be dragons because they didn't know what was out there you know what life what way out there right here guys rb dragons we don't know i know i continue up like a ferrari you can be a high n well oiled machine come competition time but noticed at that point when someone is competing their health is down here in this day trader crumble you can stay in this town for a long no matter what kind of competitive athlete you are even bodybuilders out here you can't state competition level for long something's gonna crack something's gonna fly part some peace park is gonna is gonna come apart i can tell you from personal experience having been a competitive athletes my weekly wasn't a studio an nco_ that's what put me back over here did it happen is gonna happen if your competitive athletes so training like a competitive athletes is not where we need to go to performance would come out over here for the competitive athletes as long as he wants to compete let's hope it stays right here but eventually sums gonna fly apartments a sin a si elearning ceo and then that was down as well this to find a couple terms here real quick health with itself and what his health as it relates to performance which is even more interesting question 'cause he's things are inner ladies like this when we talk about health when i'm talking about health we have internally external indicators of health an internal indicator would be things like uh... inflammatory markers triglycerides blood pressure things of this nature we know is retrain readers might he's entrainment start training them all these indicators for leveling out internally there much healthier much healthier organs sites organ function even become much better all of these indicators go right along with ur performance in again think at this chart is an astrological chart of sorts astra lodge astrological charts and only if you were here but here we go the template for an astrological chart is the same across the board what's different about it is when you were born where you were born and all these things that so they could still be in this is going to get filled in in the same way when you come in with you genetic profile so this isn't an equal sworn chart indeed different for everybody the same template will work for everybody so as we go along this performance tracks with health to a certain point then we carried it into a gray area this gray area now we want to look at the performance curve here and we want to say well how do i define performance aesthetics athletic endeavors as that goes up might health really doesn't improve if you talk to coaches our people more on the fitness and a things they will tell you that that that a healthy person what is the definition of health and fitness the most basic definition is that person's ability to perform a task dependent upon you that task might be withstanding a fall for an older person for a younger fit person a task might be how much power cannot produce instantaneously or hope how much power i can produce over a long period of time if we want to get into kind of across that definition of it it would be who can move the most load the for this in the shortest period of time it will define load distance in time whoever can do that and i would also add per pound of body weight ratio at out that way i can say is the most fit person the question then becomes that person is most fit that is the most healthy that way i don't know because what it takes to be able to move that load a certain distance disorders a certain short period of time may have affected him internally now his biomarkers for inflammation maybe through the roof now this cortisol levels maybe through the roof all of these negatively affect health so can we say he's actually the healthiest person i don't know maybe he's genetically gifted he can withstand that kind of work load can continue to go right along maybe he can maybe he's a ticking time bomb yet if you move the large load uh... far distance in a very short period of time that he set himself up some for a crash here pretty quick so all of these things have to be in one determined between each of the each of you out here everybody doing this has to find their place on the skirt first question is where do i want to resign i'll use myself as an example where i want to reside is i want to push the envelope and be right here i know because five i've looked at my blood markers basic things like blood pressure dot_ max things like this i can say that internally i'm pretty healthy another over here or i once was performance wise but you know why i'm not in danger of blowing out in a c l_ over here either right here and doing pretty good this is where i want to reside now the question becomes how much time for weakness to take them to stay there i work at it jim so i've got the time to put into it when i'm gonna tell you is this as we go along here the time requirement increases exponentially the time it takes for me to get this point pretty much across the board doesn't take much at all doctor thirty minutes a week if you have the right tools and i'm getting to tools and as a second if you have the right tools we're not talking long at all to get here at some point in my life i may very well when we shift over here because i don't have the time that time pay off the return on investment in time to meet at some point this may not be worth it to put in that kind of time in the tracking in the gym right now it is right now it's cool you know it's a good it's a hobby of mine i enjoy that all my put in in time at some point and they wanted refer right back here into this phase out to be as healthy as i can be and have a little bit of performance at that time requirement maybe the overriding factor what i'm looking for and there have been periods of my life shorter periods of time right happen in this in the corporate world projects come up i don't have much time to devote bynoe in my mind amanda have to drift back over here but since i've got this whole template in my head and nowhere and that i know where i want to get back to you now have a road map i know how to get back there so let's talk about let's talk about pheno types the phenotypic or expression row quick let's talk about physical culture what does all this mean so you come into this world you're born like this it was certain genetic traits certain certain markers certain sprints certain weaknesses the key is and the definition of physical culture is to take that claim that genetic lucky been given optimize the output as it seemed on the environment that's your phenotype the hordes activist physical culture is to optimize that phenotype as it's played against the environment that's the whole goal it's an individual bill if in if you are or aspiring athletes right this is where you don't want to be come competition time this is where you want to be if you're somebody say i i i kind of so joke around and say on the trainer to austin's lawyers idiot journey community because these guys in gals they don't have the luxury of this prepared type a personality she want to be is healthy and as fit as they can be with a small investment of time they're mostly hanging out right here but they know that and because they train them in because we talk about this kind of stuff they know that they can cover around here and if they ever wanted to turn up the intensity a little bit try to push the envelope yeah we can get you there no problem at all second definitely gets you there a method will be more time and we can meet you right over here either by saying that juggling guerrillas or bike a negative got a picture of what uh... when i'm talking about here so it's going to keep this in your mind because this is going to be the backdrop everything i'm gonna talk about this if you're a map talk about the resources we need big resources technique tools in the big one the overriding wants to nasa d this talk about this one first and all these are interrelated talk about and that's the first i would love to stand up here and tell you guys that the pursuit of art opulent physical culture is is easy i can say is not it's is definitely not it is tough it's hard work it takes a certain dog in this determination stay with it miss ever how you wanted to find that back there at that low time investment that time you put into still for court it's hard stuff is no easy way around it i could make a lot of money by coming up with the new gimmick it saying you know this is indeed the easy way to do that and if i can see that every week come about it doesn't happen it never happens this is the date you right here because without this it doesn't matter what you have here and i can say that if someone comes to me with with this it doesn't matter what we have here i can turn in i can turn in a big damn good athlete or someone with good aesthetics but this is the money breaker right here yet have tenacity yet have dog in this you get a have a desire to do this it's not easy smude easy at all techni controls so as you go along any kind of look on the internet you read magazines you uh... you look at the different protocols the people champion all these different protocols i will call techniques the thing about techniques is they all work they all work for some people some of the time for the guy he develops a certain technique obviously it works for him he came up with it it works well for him will it work for a well for you i don't know you're not him you don't have the same genetic makeup you're not plane against the same environment that he's playing it you don't have the same hormonal millie but he does where she does all these things all of these things must be taken into account so to say that one program one technique one way of doing things uh... bill stars fight by five technique fantastic program will work for everyone now will work for a lot of people we have pretty much it's a great place to start psychological sectors and asked us to go to things by by five and is extra weight on the bar along feast all been used all and we'll talk about something else but you cannot latch onto a technique and think that it's going to be the golden bullet because it won't be it's not going to be four u unless you dispute extremely lucky hero craps first-time albarn you happen to land on the right technique that works for you god love him and roll on but let me tell you most of you are not going to be that lucky most of your gonna flounder around searching for the perfect technique and it's not going to be there what it is what and what it takes we gotta drop back down here to tell nasa d you have to mentally look at this technique and figure out if it will work for you try for a while see if it will some techniques you can look at an obviously no it's not going to work for me that comes to knowing yourself that comes to operating out of your base camp and i'll get to operate out of your base camp here in just a second but just know that for the purposes of right now technique is just that it's a technique that we might use to get a certain point some aspects of that technique i might incorporate into my own program will use the entire technique no i don't use anybody's entire entire taking program take bits pieces and parts put it together to form what works for me tools i'm lucky enough inefficient exercise rafts in very very unique tools that allow me to save the early reduced time requirements that jim will look at one of those tools tomorrow the uh... eric's eric's equipment but again it's only a tool all it is if you want to use a carpenter analogy i've just got a super duper super duper of saw and my kids that's all it is if you're not lucky enough to live in austin can train with us it doesn't matter i can do the same thing with a rusty barbell and demos it's gonna take a little bit longer time person that's all the differences yes i think i can really i can uh... used much more advanced techniques if i have the proper tools but that shouldn't limit me as far as my expression of my phenotypic comes into my environment i've got the tools great if i don't know many please keep a ride on rolling do the best i can with what i got you know my wife is a chef and what's interesting about that is to see we're talking about taking eight standby seem eager shelf operate they have a recipe chicagoans at that recipe set it aside mentioned roles all it is is a blueprint all it is is a little bit of a road map to tell her how to get to a and b a good chef will produce a fantastic meal not by following that roadmap not by following the techniques per se but by being able to ad lib in knowing what that mule requires at this property dot this temperature all these other all these other things that play into this issue and just by the recipient dri_ but it would be spectacular like most of the stuff same way you need to be about physical culture you need to look at these different techniques take the bits and pieces of 'em they're fantastic in their work for you and your circumstance can probably get a good program and roll on when we come to time everybody's but a bit again remember how this chart was set up down here fact of the matter is if you want to pursue goals there are over at the right into that chart even after ten a little bit more time whether that means you're looking for bodybuilding pursuits and that means you're spending time particularly in the gym or if you more in the sporting side of things maybe it's a combination of gym time and uh... outside practice time cure cycles that means time in the south now we can do different techniques to reduce that time in the saddle one of which increasing your strength and we can train in the saddle differently where we do up higher intensity intervals as opposed to this login miles that doesn't change the fact that i'm gonna have a big time requirement if i want to pursue those goals if i have any questions right now before it drives go on for a lose anybody here is that i want to lose any bike is all this kind of bills it builds on itself was the father fly-by fight it's it's simply a a five sets of five reps at a particular exercise as it's more of a linear progression if you're familiar with this um... so every time i come into the gym for every so often i'm adding so many pounds to the bar in a particular which works right starting out the problem with lynn you're going to get this in whenever i setup up when we talk about our regulation and is a second it works great for a while the problem is you can continue to do that forever obviously everybody gets to a champion power lifter they need to stand is what do you do now okay strapped outbound squash today unless they know what do you do fi by five th played out okay yet it is somewhere after that but yeah basically it's five sets of five repetitions at a certain way linear progression as we go along say every week we had five pounds with borrowed over that might be a way to keep rolling on ticket that you could basecamp again everybody comes in with uh... certain genetic traits one problem when we look at certain uh... certain techniques certain programs weightlifting programs is the impression that you're getting is it works across the board again that stupid simply not true not true at all one quick aside i don't know if you guys remember back in um... uh... maybe the early nineties bill phillips you had uh... muscle media two thousand magazine he ran a contest there for a few years i cannot remember the name of the consciousness body body for life the things and not that made on bill at all amis a fantastic marketer but here's the thing here and this contest impression the jury given if you follow along in the magazine was you hear any contest top style so whoever d whoever uh... was that they had the best-looking physique so long set you know any kind whittled down from the top and what it was fifty then it will be on the top thirteen in new york i kept going progressively the impression that's given by doing that is that everybody across the board is making progress and these are just the top fifty in fact they might have been the only fifty two got any benefit whatsoever out but the impression was given because you see these you see these people you can see the fall-off you can see the thousands of people who took a before and after picture in your life but no change in our own seeing a change so my point is is not a slam on palm bill for it fantastic uh... marketing devices and it wasn't a great marketing device but only bring this up at some point out to you that none of these programs work for everybody you have to be very cognizant of that and don't go into a thinking that they are if you can go into these things that open mind if i come in to try it out if it looks like it might work given my my uh... genetic predisposition but don't go into a thank-you and don't go into thinking deeper don't be totally discouraged if it doesn't work for you to go along basecamp if i have a guy animated just pick up after croak which mika obviously worked worked as an endurance type of guy in good shape fantastic shape more slender build is our anyway with in anyway what i put him through a powerlifting program it would reckon it would totally reckoned it would destroy his exporting performance i'm is just a no-brainer that is not his base camp his base camp is an endurance and endurance advance he knows if he can use certain strength techniques to enhancers endurance advance but if you were to train like a power lifter if you would ruin he knows this intuitively i know this intuitively you guys need to find your base camp again no where your strengths are intuitively and go out and find programs it will enhance that some guys are fantastic powerless to some guys are built that way some guys are very sturdy they haven't the uh... genetic predisposition to be powerlessness they don't need to be doing the vince rhonda german volume training ten by ten anything out of it but then again much out of it their base camp izla repetition highways that is their base camp my reason for bringing this up is we want to operate from basecamp for him to throw quick performance competitive their base camp is going to be say powerlifting right here the thing is they do need to splinter out from that going different directions in in applied way so his sometimes yes they are doing more high repetition work sometimes they are doing very explosive more athletic but they know where their base camp is this is that this is the route before their workouts are going to take place so again on this map each and every one of you if you're looking for you to perfect your ah... if in a typical expression into the environment you need to figure out what your base camp is what do you operate test for example i'm no in myself bro quick if we look at uh... velocity force some of you may know this curve sis forceful ostatic per product really really high speeds but i perform an action that are really really high speed say a bench press at a high speed i can't produce a lot of forces is not there other side of the corn very very high force production the bars not moving very fast physiological dizzy was cool property power production template on top of that was something like this might happen is power production right in here some of you one he says all of you your strength is going to be somewhere in here some of your gonna be better over here power lifter type some of you are going to be better every year hi hi hi technique rapid rapid movement thumb uh... golfers baseball players and i'm not produce a whole lot of force they only to their operating over here i'd just up in the know through my training my best point is somewhere right in here my base camps it's right up in here my ability to produce repeat intense power in the one two three repetition range for duration i know that's my base camp it's what i excel at operate over here for a long i get crushed idea powerlifting routine if i do a powerlifting type workout very high intensity high force production low global aussie on fri encrusted it and i know it but i do need to venture out here every now and again to be a better athlete on the other side uh... diskette operator for long this is my base camp most of my workouts take place right here high-power production very very quick bam bam bam i can do this all day long repeats i get a lot out of it but to be able to enhance this i still need to be able to produce a lot of forces and i still need to be able to produced very very ballistic movements that these are all admits to my basecamp which sits right here i love you guys have a certain basecamp might not know it yet but you do you might not have found it yet but you will with the people looking for it it somewhere along this line somewhere along this power curve somewhere somewhere here is where your base camp is if you find that basecamp then you can find techniques that will naturally play to that base camps strong suit once you know that once you hone in on that base camp in you can start making forays out from that to enhance to enhance your overall health and fitness in questions are this my question is you might into this the my question is what techniques what u would you look for it it's you'd penny find how do you ever yet i mean this simple thing about living there number one right tall skinny guy write-ins nine india power lifter per se productive more endurance type grade that add yeah cn cedras on strictly uh... how do i know what in electing a series of that so to say let's say we have a more endurance type person who's basecamp it's more of a high repetition type of thing because just his joint structure he can't handle a whole lot of weight bearing hi force stuff there were a kid rectum i like me this can handle that for a long because it is tears my joints polyesters missing from your system so if i know that i complain i can play to that strength some of the small joint structure someone with uh... you know more vector morph bill but uh... now and start to gravitate away from this area more back over here and opposite side in the opposite side of the coin so that somebody with very very robust joints for stocky that type of bill yeah just talking very very general here i mean it is you go along you continually refined continually refined continually refinance their refining i still have to check myself here you know i am i still this athlete is this still were might my golden zone is you can use a daily is a daily check it always has been because at the fluctuate back-and-forth ear yeah i still get crushed over here i work out with some guys this is where they live that is their base camp work out with them yeah murder move them over here they're murdered over here so it's a continual process continual feel well process which is another great thing about this and ever you're never at the end as offense at mean you're never at the end you're always learning new things about yourself writes i was gonna ask how do you determine the payscale sure constantly which is saying is partnership scott videos anita it is totally it's totally trial and error but you have certain queries along the way it's not a total of this fishing expedition you have certain clues along the way pacific but it's always being refined always be unified and i guess from uh... sorry any resources for uh... with a smaller uh... small bone but expect more stirred up desicomments other sites are online where they can i say okay these ideals uh... his base camps for u diffuser like that kind of genetic plan of action resolves itself no there's really no generic when in that's another thing is really legendary plan of action here and i guess that's what my overriding messages it can't be you know if there can be a genetic plans you guys have to go along have a vision che said vision but along the way you can have the roadmap like adrift the first you have an indication of where you want to be on that health performance spectrum were you on the fall along there for instance connector morph bam right now i know that i can handle a whole lot of weight i can't operate over here for a while my joints can support me looking at lurie simmons powerlifting confidences and that means i don't work for me no right right says okay said there i have one clear that's good that's not going to work for me so then i have to start going along well well let me kinda look around and although i don't want to to say precisely annually what this person does he might be built similarly to me they'll be sent out some clues he's found a similar path it's worked for him hiking take some of these clues and now i can start bringing them over enshrine amount myself but the thing is i'm not married to exactly what he's doing i have to keep in my mind that's worked for him for him even though he might have the same structure it is me he's got a different hormonal profile probably he's in a different environment he's able to devote a lot more time to that pursuit the one i did so i can take some clues for him from him in run along with it but i can't be married to his particular program and i have to be open-minded enough to be able to shift gears on my own and kind of war in this process and and and go along from there but that's kinda how you get started doing yeah there is a master's because there's a lot of information online and he started to tell you something and so i guess our own roadmap is like a filter you know for what we want to tv just how light it is just is it like intuitively kinda no i guess when you get is intuitive and a lot of ways ok is an intuitive processes dances self learning process dislike just like any other pursuits it's it's a physical self learning process you just know that there is no there's no silver bullets out there okay i can take the i i train in this area that's my base camp and i look it up when she trained this way it's just so happens this is more efficient track and field application so i can look it after these who are uh... hundred-meter sprinters or does shoppers this discus fight athletes that this kinda happens to be were rife all-in right there i can look at this type of work out since he with his guys are doing i can't say clues from these type of workouts and cobbled together my own workout program i'm not competing here not a competitive discus thrower and i conveyed javelin throwing out a competitive sprinter but i know my genetic predisposition kinda pushes me in that direction so i can take please from that type of from that type of athletes from that and i cobbled together my own workout program sony inserting your case you would look around kind of try to find either athlete fizzy type person could kinda fits your same old star getting clues there apply those your circumstance your time the tools you have to take me to your able to employees and then you start from there and you start gradually coming up just realize it's a never ending process yeah that's the biggest thing to get across to you this isn't if if you think you're getting into this game and you say when i get to be two hundred fifty pounds and convince press you know four hundred or whatever it's never going to be there because if you do get there unite and be satisfied there's always four oh five there's always four fifteen there's always t sixty there's that you know you're never going to be satisfied the waterways that's fantastic i mean that's what life is all about the steepest continual strife but if you're getting into this as a means to hit that you'll never stay in the game for a long it's got to be much more it's got to be more of a almost six p ritual pursuit myself betterment pursuits and that's just a tool the lifting the working out specific troll it's a meditation is what it boils down to as a meditation using physical culture as a tool if you can get to that point you'll stay in the game forever annual naturally then gravitate towards these things that make you better because you've been in the game for so long now you know in a star gravitate you'd you'd building the bigger toolbox you take another step bigger toolbox analyst at their toolbox better techniques as you come along we talked real quick so i think i'm probably getting it out of time we talk about one technique that i like to use for a quick something that just about anybody can employ talk about a lot of regulation real quick so very easy technique to employ so the gentleman here aswell ago about ah... just for instance dole stars five five five program the difference between a linear period is asian program enought a regulatory programs this nine year period is asian says it is i go along in time for a particular exercise this to say dead lift just pick one as i go along in time or should be able apply so i go on my way to increase for that particular lift it's a go a long week to week to week brother different meza cycles of a program fashion b able in those ten pounds bam bam here another ten i'm going right along for i don't know that's manure period is a shame to some extent to some extent manure period is asian does work it works for people who are just frank beginners right out of the gate it works for those people 'cause pretty much everything works for those people you can put your car in a driveway it doesn't matter you gonna get stronger and better and it works for athletes are very very very dedicated in their life is driven towards that inst that's pushing a big way a big selling on in track and field that that is true that works for for most people that is not gonna work you don't have the time to dedicate for that you don't have the time the program you've got a life you on the school you got a job you just don't have the time to dedicate rule in your period is asian program so to say linear pretty realization doesn't work is not what i'm saying it does work for select few people i would venture to say that most of you in here you want to hear you're not a professional athlete so from him if you're listening to me you're not a professional athlete you've got you've got a coaching staff right on a regular on a regulation overcomes that problem let's talk about what things can derail u from using linear period is asian what kind of things can come into your life it would disrupt that bam bam bam pattern anything any kind of stress any kind of job stress any kind of relationship stress uh... money stresses you name it the body senses stressed this stress it doesn't matter if they come psychological it doesn't matter if it's if it's if its physical stresses stress if i come into the gym on a dare i suppose a deadly four fifty cuz that's what my manure pure decission program calls for and i can't do it i can't budge four fifty off the ground i'm supposed to be able profit right arm off what do i do that well manure period is asian is very soviet style very bam bam bam well i don't know if we can get off the ground one of my gennady that's where people stall food linear period is a shame to the site in new york with lifting or jump onto the next you whatever the next program is a latch onto and they disappeared chaser tales material way to get around that really easy and i still use this to the states bill i'd use it for a long long long time i still use it on a regulation the stick that damn lift example again let's say that i'm just going to uh... he's around number here so it's easy to go into texas state right so i can use my math skills are lacking four hundred pounds okay four hundred pounds would you say six routes knowing my base camp knowing where rahmat my base camp i noted it four strength applications i'm better off operating in the six references k just for starters you don't need it this deep into this but i'm just this explain why you six reps six reps is a good strings building program for me because of my genetic predisposition going any lower than that if i do too often i get crushed if i stay around six seven eight repetitions with a pretty heavy weight with a with a slower tempo more of a force production tempo delmar i'd like to operate there let's say that last time i did that lifts i was able to hit four hundred pounds for six reps now i'm coming along i want to get another dead lift day here k say were into the next week i want to go dead lift many appeared his asian by go back to that say four ten i was supposed to hit four ten i'm not going to do that what i'm gonna do his i must say i did four hundred pounds for six rats last time i did it my goal is going to be increase wraps with that same weight his summer go about doing that first off amanda leavin we're going to have about four or five different sets here and you can do this you can do this with any with any exercise it's better to do it with the compound exercise ok overstock embargoes dumbbells which is everybody yeah i'm assuming everybody has access to uh... to bar bells dumbbells has pretty much ubiquitous and so i kind of pick the devil affair this can be done on the change it to be done on any any apparatus well may do some of the lead in at fifty percent of my weight i'ma come in at two hundred pounds and they hit twelve reps with it second set might take seventy five percent of that mcgee six rats with ok so what we are going on here is a little bit of a warm up this is no different really than a five by five program within all the different spin on it the repetition or third set i might come up here nomic four hundred pounds now this is a money set i'm gonna go all-out hemi repetitions denied it at four hundred pounds i'm feeling good my stress as well then got low stress everything's going well hopefully all be four hundred pounds let's say i get eight rats as an example of people ask timeout american down here up dot t_ money sets fact summer i come down for another another crack it for her but now manage act the way up a little bit in this is where being chef of the jam comes into play how much weight and i got to add to it how did i feel when i did that last i got a repetitions but was it and i believe a or was it a good solid eight all these things i have to consider i have to take into account let's say i felt pretty good the other a came out pretty easy i'm gonna check this out four-twenty and again coming to see what i get out of it and say i got five repetitions with four twenty this way is now in a carry four to the next time i do a dead with now i start this cycle all over again but instead is status uh... six rats it'll be four twenty for five in a star the cycle all over again and i continue on two things about this i'll probably do another set maybe a knock-down said recall it a lot down the way maybe do a high repetition said here if i'm feeling really really really good if i knocked out for twenty for five incidental may have been feeling super strong here four thirty okay let's give it a shot to any other this is kind of a fuel out process couple things about this number one i go into this with the mentality that if i don't do well here on their first money set i cut myself a break snuck into the world no big deal as long as i bring every bit of intensity that i had when i walked into the gm that day as long as i bring that tenacity from back to his first before for things we talked about earlier if i bring that in that city and dog in this in here and i just didn't get six repetitions i get my all that day so totally different mindset than nine year period is a shit i know i gave it my all whatever that distill my maximum right there next time it comes up was tried again what will happen what always happens with this is progression after you get out of being a rank amateur or up very very new to the weightlifting game where you'll find is progress doesn't come in steps progress comes in one big step so what happens is i'm i sat there there four hundred pounds and i might discounted however if four hundred pounds for quite a long time aga one day on my team seven repetitions what it next time out of my get five you know this is that there have a ring around hovering around hovering around one-day i'll come in and maybe a day that i feel like unite i probably don't have it today but i might go ahead and give it the old uh... give it the old college try was who are at bam for thirty comes off the ground uh... like nothing you cannot predict when this progress is going to happen you just can't do it that's the breakdown of linear progression the other breakdown in you can't predict when these things are going to happen i've been in this game thirty five plus years i can't predict when i'm gonna have a good day really it surprises the hell out of me sometimes when i come into a gm and i'd better my progress on a certain with them like that you know i've traveled all night when you know i'm feeling like crap yeti idea i didn't give me a list of its of excuses chemin instant the weight comes off the ground as i can explain it what out a regulation allows you to do it allows you keep the table set in the door open for opportunity and that's exactly what you want to do every time you go into the gym i set the table i keep the door open when ever offered to that opportunity it and i don't know when it's going to be a camper dick that affected there wouldn't be here to be in vegas you know i mean if anybody can predict that with any accuracy it it just can't be done keeping the table set the door open for that opportunites what auto regulation is all about and that's that's why i use it as the basis of my workouts i don't use it all the time i don't use it for every exercise but it forms the basis of my workouts and it's again it's do you see that the it's easy to track to which is another thing when you've got all these other all these other time requirements or these other uh... pressures on you and you want to try to squeeze squeeze a workout and i know i can go to my workout log i can pull out that dad left i can see what i've got there pam and i can roll with it i know what weight ought to be hitting i've got a repetition scheme and i'm off to the races no worries about nine year period is asian no calculations to have to worry about no mental anguish if i didn't hit heed my projected weight and i can continue on for ever this is a never-ending thing so as i go along throughout throughout the training year certain exercises naturally come into my wheel house and then leave my wheel house too for instance during the during the spring summer and fall on either on the tracks printing or i'm uh... riding a bike quite a bit and to take one exercise for an example when i'm doing those things idon't squaw analyst what during that time period because it distresses my bsp refreshes my cycling ability but when the fall comes no winner and i'm not out so much that i can bring that particular exercise back into the uh... back into the next a look back at my also see were i was squatting last fall that puts me in the ballpark in her here i am on a regular eighteen again benefit from that this is like a never missed obviously i'm not in the a strong hands wanted in a while but that gives me a good ballpark indications of wear did were to jump back in the game in them right back running red background with it any questions about a lot of regulation how did how you can incorporate that into your sold your max weight can't change that breaks gates answer absolutely you know if you're not paid four hundred for oman and six years ago still stay with it yet pacifica ca six-month breakers sequel have for fruit instance let's say the say that this this what will use that as an example if i have squaw did in hindu whatever eight months units seriously to sometimes or go eight months without at least wat a flip back to my workout log now i've got a way to schools that same four hundred pounds by no as i can add a touch too haven't done this what the technique you know i did eight months away from a certain technique you know i'm not going to be able to do it well but it gets me in the ballpark into on that we don't buy it om i got it in hit four hundred pounds since why they do this you know i'll let that go it'll be there vienna little combat but it gives me in the ballpark it saves me from coming into the gym going i want to squash today were a start you know it doesn't own it you know messing around with two twenty five and it's going to do and that will build up here and i can jump right to it arrive four hundred for her parents seven repetitions let's go before four hundred on the bar i might get to a mega three i'm still in the ballpark and i know where to go from there this is where the chef part comes enright because that's is the recipe no it's called the chef part into it four hundred pounds seven repetitions i know that's not gonna happen it's not going to go when i'm not get down to three seventy five against on the ball for three seventy five spurl a bit more manageable demotion for six then i'll go from there that's weird being where abiding strictly by the recipe or being the chef that's for a little bit of time into the bar consent let's say you don't have any time into the bar none you're not prepared i can try to make that call because you know i've been in a game for awhile i kinda know were to go with this if you don't if you haven't stick with four hundred year along bam are regulated thing is if you don't have a whole lot of time under the bar the chances of the fallen off much of that max unite and be far away from it and if you are down from his head taking long to get back to it use of this might be a two part question sure cell just part of the regulation ways yet uh... would so sure uh... these changed me yes good segue into the next portion here okay so what are some things we can change okay changing technique is one thing changing exercises always fantastic my overall workout program and what i think innocent what i give my clients a lot of times is a little bit different than what i give myself because begin every client is an individual every i treat every client is in in equals one the study of one when we are when i'm talking about changing techniques i'm constantly rolling in exercises as i go along in rolling out exercises once i think they're tapped out if i go along in our regulation way again go back to douglas fido on for a long period of time in their lives as a constant throughout my retained and i'm not him as seen the whole life change here i will let that alot that particular exercise slide out for awhile and i'll go on to a different exercise it might be similar to a dead left but not exactly not exactly a dead lift jumped a good mornings site for instance similar exercises work is works a similar structure but it's not not exactly a seminar hit on that for a while again that's part of being a chef in knowing not you know when the quit beating a dead horse okay now i can say keep the table set leave the door open for opportunity the popped into the bank and then after eight months you know i need to kind of rethink things here need to shift focus in a lot of times that's what it takes so i'll go along for a lot i don't see any good if i don't see any good increase of shift that exercise out go to a different similar exercise i'll come back two-mile mainstay the dead lift and a lot of times that's what it takes to the bobby baka getting going in so i guess a justice if you were reading something on the internet in a magazine don't take what i say is got to be this way so you've got to be able to play in the gym indian curative usually says techniques bit yet but i'm telling you know you're gonna have to put your own personal spin on everything i say everything the stock row quick about since you brought up changes and technique let's talk about temple real quick and tempo is something that that people really don't look at when they're talking about weight training it's very very important ps tempo cuts info is written first this uses for an example when we talk about when we talk about lifting the weight any break it down what exactly what exactly is going on they could bench press real quick for example there's a lowering you centric phase there's a pause at the bottom there's a concentric move to the top there's another pause in again going back into the lowering when you think about this when you think about that there's a hell of an opportunity for change just in that one simple movement that one simple movement a bench press can be changed to be a totally different exercises in effect you totally differently remember again velocity back force with something like that i can change this exercise just the normal bench press one exercise i can make fit anywhere anywhere throughout this curve by changing and by changing the load accordingly one simple exercise and i can float or i can surf anywhere along the skirt and in fact i would tell you is you need to change tempo you need to flow throughout this curve to surface perf up-and-down to get full benefit from working out tooth to stay in one spot remember we talked about basecamp my base camp is here but if i were to only work out in this is own i wouldn't get it i would never get any better i have to do i have to be able to fluctuate side to side i do that by changing tempo first number tempo this is a key centrifugal o_-ring portion of the exercise these are sections what this represents right here is a lowering three second doesn't want thousand two thousand three pause at the bottom explode on the way up one second cause them right back into the new right back into the three second negative so when i'm writing in my in my my workout journal i don't just put bench press for instance afoot bench press i've got my load my parameter if i'm gonna regulating i've got that but i thought so put tempo but because tempo tells me were an apple on this curve between tempo in load and nowhere and sit on the skirt i can change this simple bench press and make it a ballistic bench press might drop in this seed fastest possible are one or whatever synopsys quickly explode right back up i've change this from being over here somewhere now we're talking to bench press is line over here somewhere has much more ballistic exercise totally changes the exercise totally changes the physiological result from the exercise so when you talk about changing techniques don't just think about changing exercises the changing template was well in tippecanoe changed on any exercise where there's a machine based exercise we were talking about was missing um... whether we're talking uh... bar bills dumbbells whatever in any exercise to totally change is from for yes it's only changes were you reside on the skirt so i can change i can changes tempo and i can write this temple for a while again oughta regulating it under this tempo and now i've got a whole other set the parameters that i can change so there's a lot of overlaid that's let's say you earth let's say your normal oughta regulating say your bench pressing in a normal tempo and what i've what i say everybody's normal temple of the perfect repetition for people just starting out this is why i always tell her about it in this works if this works across the board the perfect impose this three though x one three second negative nice and controlled three second negative no pause explode fastest possible on the way up pause a second right back into the three second negative this is that's money right there that's perfect as a perfect place to start your initial oughta regulation should start with that tempo now as i go along say i have dead lift residents go back to bench press district sake of argument bench press under that tempo are regulated mineral long i can have a totally different portion of this the uh... philosophy force perf it's a different exercise this could be bench press one knocking go to a ballistic bench press that's a whole lot of things miserable weather exercise it affects you totally different it affects your physiology physiologic physiologically different in the thing about that is is you float up-and-down that philosophy force curve is you get these different points they all play on for one another my ability to do a ballistic dance for us affects positively my ability to do a bench press under this temple my ability to bench press under this tempo allows me to do the ballistic bench press with more weight they play on one another if you do it right getting back to my base camp where's my base camp so it's kind of stuff here ballistic stuff fast high-power production fact that's my base camp i come out of my base camp to get a bench press under this temple not as good at it i'm just not genetically predisposition predispositions the big good at it i do it now and again because it makes me better in my basement this is another way of saying and to make it very basic don't get in a rut expect right still that the in whatever in especially in physical cultural ruts kill you have to be you have to be pliable and to be able to move especially a pandemic velocity force for to be able to pick different programs an exercise is up and down the anchor to enhance your abilities anybody else more specific questions maybe about this so this is this kind of the big umbrella overview anybody have mort specific questions that just a questions us about that um... with is that generally the but he said if you're doing a size for eight months that seems all situation teachings temple yes digitally the first the first tempo changes that demand from three oh that's one street going to ballistic if your steppin out before you looked at him and it doesn't have to be as drastic as well as sure there coming you can do a little tempo changes as well you can do things like jack up the you centric okay so i think i can move this all way up to eight seconds now we're talking you know big-time negatives so i'll go through a series of negative sometimes is called the state relive the days ahead negative totally changes the exercise again would you recommend doing that with the deadliest specifically now is that's why change example the bench press is the dentist is a different and what had been i mean you know i go down that road stripper yeah because it yet most negative dad listen not uh... yeah someone talking about so i think it's a bench press when your way from that pretty much a dead lift your written it off the ground it's or hardens fast as you can and they did that pretty much doesn't change not may not come off the ground fast but the attempt should be there to blasted off the ground as fast as possible in this as fast as possible what that x two notes and i will say to you that's the intact to move the bars fastest possible not necessarily that he is moving fast as possible but the intent is there to push it as fast as possible pretty much of that for me stays the same all of my concentric movements part as fast as i can kingman link produce now they might not move fast dependent on pdl depending on exercise in the load than i'm using and that's the same across the board it's the same with the barbell dumbbell it's the same with our uh... eric's equipment it would be the same on a novelist machine which i know i'm not a lot of uh... now most people your from the crimson right now my god but that that's just how i do it uh... and i know that this from personal experience that works for me so i don't work for everybody but that's that's how i did that so i found that it works for me to get one in india uh... such a question sir uh... i know everybody stiff but generally speaking uh... how often do you want to lift weights week article in question it depends affect and that's not a cop-out answer it depends on number one what rules you have available to you it depends on type of workouts that you're performing every time you're in the gym and it depends on what kind of time you have it let me just take you through my training week just in israel typical training we put out just as an example this isn't an example to to show you what i'm talking about let's just say i come in on monday i don't have a whole lot of time fifteen twenty minutes bam in my head i'm thinking fifteen twenty minutes i want to be this is gonna be a classic high-intensity workout a workout like you might you might have heard uh... but the speaker's here talk about high-intensity framework i've only got that much time famine hitha high-intensity workout twenty minutes fifteen minutes whatever it takes the next day i might have plenty of time plenty of time to say i have two hours well if i have that kind of time that i know that i can do olympic derivative lifts powerpoint snatches that kind of thing now i've got the time to recover the thing about this type of exercises is you just can't hit 'em hit 'em hit 'em hit 'em is a fatigue factor in there that that has to be accounted for they're fantastic exercises i love 'em but if i'm looking for a a time intensive work that's not going to be it it can't be i can't get the amount of work i need of this type of exercises in that short period of time so if i have a long period of time like that i'm thinking in my mind strengths tire flips you know they outside kind of conditioning stuff uh... dpp_ type stuff or unthinking olympic derivative lifts ride too want to maybe three repetitions bam the bars down i'm back resting for for five minutes because it's such a central nervous system hit you just can't jump back into to the next one without losing technique another thing i might do it and i do this to you because i'm constantly rotating different of different techniques exam i throw in a body building type throughout the week three in that might be a ten by ten eight by eight okay now we're talking classic bodybuilding stuff but that takes time as well in other consideration to is what plaintiff motion to relook annette if i just if i just did a vertical push and pull so if i did say overhead presses and pull ups okay i have to take that into account when i'm planning my next workout all this is just cumulative bam bam bam on top of thinks it's a constant struggle that means no two weeks to the same that means no to work out through the same in his district constant fold over constant fold over a constant fold volatility they ought to be real quick one one great way minimize your time in the gym is to utilize that push pull type of retain agonist antagonist so i worked just along with that so if i do a push say any kind of vertical push overhead say this is the start vertical pushing pulling pushover they had i come back i do some kind of pool some kind of a look at some do and that pullout the uh... the agonists my shoulders are now being forced to relax because antagonistic networking insist physiological response use that kind of stuff i cant reply can really short my period of time and chanted so i take that into consideration so i guess that's your question is beginning to pins so the other question utensils over it was just one how you feel about com what's become very trendy and exercise which is crossfit sure and uh... trying to keep your heart the exhilarated during the entire work and shorter work yes first for cross that line i love some aspects of crossfit some aspects of crossfit i think could be improved but i think it's a great idea and i use a lot of crossfit like can we say structure within my workouts where i think the downfall to cross that is is the programming i think the programming could be a little bit stuff more pre-planned i'm totally i'm totally down with the whole idea of being able to reach a hopper grab things out indicate athletes ought to be able to to do well on these on these techniques he ought to be able to do well liked by totally i'm totally down with that what i but i don't agree with uh... there's a difference between testing and and uh... training you don't train with a test all the time as a way to get hurt perot quick you train for a test if that makes any sense but yet uh... for the most part uh... to cross the stuff i love the like the uh... leah like the structure of it idealist a manipulated by third it's all a bit more pre planning my workouts in other words it i don't see the necessity in doing a in olympic to riveted lifts a h natura power clean under fifty in under a high risk situation and insist that this is not a good recipe that they did it get you can be better things than that so that that's my only that's my only knock off i really like we said about uh... changed um... so my question is for those of us who are working out for specific goal for example michael right now is just master yep uh... so i'm working eh... lowell rats uh... highway in very very slow five seconds of five seconds down how often would you recommend changing to temple those was it when we hit a plateau or ever so often they willing to change the temple uh... would you recommend changing for one workout or for a certain period of time and they believe that yeah first of all you need to define what for you what a plateau is and what rules here your utilizing so if you're utilizing even assuming you utilizing machines yes sir did lenses mostly a i would get back to you more thought a regulation so if you can if there's some way you can structure these work that's where you can auto regulate them you're back to you on a regulation then within our regulation that same exercise after you play now listen you're doing a delphi signup bicycle use efforts by second concentric try changing at concentric three-ring is fast as possible on the way up okay once you get that put togther once you get the plateau on your other if if that's your if that's your base camp if that's your home with a three found either that's where you operate the bass from that would be the first place the deviate okay now instead of coming up slowing controls try out for a lost recommends explosively buspar regulate that for a while it for a while i mean entry in sleep left over there then stepped back go back to your old five-second a five-second down inundated again bam jump right back into it more than likely you will have exceeded here on that and then then you go back to me again and it's a constant like i say there is no important you know there's there's no point that you're going to be ok this is all said and done now i've got it figured out in dna_ here i am it's constitutes a constant change you know i'm incident so then you come back in in reply to it yet finney find some other thing to change maybe it's tempo again maybe now your mentally burnt out on this particular exercise whatever it is and you need to move on to a different actions because that can play into two wouldn't it just the mental burned out of performing a certain exercised especially machine base exercises is pretty heavy you know i mean you you're into the gym everyday like jesus christ did on the back here on this machine again fired by five again the you dispute and ask the emergency distress the plane off that way so if nothing elf is to bring to break through that mental that mental barrier change the tempo on the same machine and it feels like a whole new exercise you know i mean yet and then you go on for many disputes constantly folding over folding over folding over fold status question more about the coverage yet costly tristen i get bored if i work out with some surplus so oftentimes overdo it and an overly lift weights too much negotiate touched you says her death puppy like fly metrics worldview ronnie district formula hip today even in training right now it seems like five days strictly chances surveillance what is the best i mean supplementation diet what's the best way to cover certified restive robert new york itself so justice where people have uh... genetic predispositions to be good athletes have good physics there's also genetic predisposition to recovery as well scott plays into that whole thing so number one genetics please faqs personally i know that i am very good on the recovery side of things that i can recover from workout and i always have them so that i can worked out many days a week if i do its mark in which i did so i enhanced that but i can recover from very strenuous workouts very quick so that's one thing you need to know no lie self number one there you know that you were where are you genetically okay now we talk about the type of work that you're doing as it relates to what you can do to enhance recovery so this kind of two g balls in the area the biggest thing you can do recovery was i mean that's generic officially sleep is huge reduce your cortisol reduce your life stresses everywhere else this attitude biggest things cortisol sleep bam bam he did control of those two you'll find that number when you recover quicker never to few recover quicker that means you can work out harder instead of more frequently on the other side for supplementation i think the best supplement as far as recovery goes easy in maine it's easy xia mesa best about the best supplement buchanan's simply think singer dancer agreed reduce stress exercises cortisol depositions heavy reduced you'd use the courts are reduced stress question on at real quick gerri's but indeed is their role every fighting the issues as well etc i would pop more for natural vitamin d than the supplement vitamin d but i don't shy away from that idon't shy away from the supplemental vitamin d at a quite a bit of of five thousand values today and now there's some quite a bit uh... but the if i have i think the uh... blood serum levels it is pretty cheap blood test his self-esteem final remark supplement accordingly so very this was not a very expensive just i can guarantee you can be in in florida and being out quite a bit too probable just let everybody is well and that's huge you picked out a quick aside from that the east germans back in a day i'm kind of increased german efficient auto coming from the coming from the old school back in the navy guys uh... you know steroids aside those guys that it going on they were extremely extremely did not even training lies supplement wise they had it going on uh... if you were still now behind where they were then as far as is for us ah... sports knowledge sports have a trained how to recover supplements just saying that i'll just say enclosing fifty east germans were big on vitamin d supplementation in huge amounts of something that really really pay heed to well guys i think george and uh... any guys when it hit me up personally outside of here i'd love to talk to you because this isn't in equals one game disc always always remember that it's an in equals one game if you look at it people for hints but it comes down to where u fit on that health performance occur where you are where you want to be it all comes down to that place yourself on that curve determine where you want to go and start going out picking tools and techniques they don't get your if you need to uh... if you have the desire to talk to me about it i can certainly get you pointed in the right direction enjoyed talking to you guys
