You know it's a question that we get often that I could totally relate to, and I think would be a good idea to just communicate to. It's the following. Like what would be a good workout plan if I like to work out every day? Or can I train my body every day and get great results? Or would I get faster results working out every day? So I'd like to address this particular question. I mean, I'm sure you guys have seen this. I love this idea. Yeah, I love this idea for an episode. One, we've never done anything like this before. Two, we have no programs that are designed this way. But the truth is, and I talked about this early on on the podcast, that I actually, I go to the gym seven days a week. Right now, I'm not like this. When I was consistently training back when I was competing, I was in the gym seven days a week. But the thing that I always had to communicate to people is like, seven days a week in the training doesn't mean that I'm like hammering the weights seven days a week. You have to modify intensity and then I would focus on other things. And so I've had a lot of questions about what that looks like. And so building a seven day routine for the audience, and those that actually love going to the gym that often or exercising that often, this will be fun. Well, I do want to be clear to everybody just so you know, right out the gates, you are going to get a free seven day a week workout program from this episode. So that's what we did. We put it together for you and we're going to literally lay it out. So by the end of this show, you're going to have a workout, seven day a week workout. Now, here's what's important when you're working out. Actually, this is always important with your workouts. But it's especially important if you're doing, if you're devoting this much time to exercise, the programming is key here. It is very easy when you're working out daily to overdo a certain component of your workout, which can cause joint pain, inflammation, or just cause overtraining, or cause too much of a stress response, which will result in your body actually not building muscle, but rather losing muscle and setting itself up for more fat storage. Because when you're stressed, when your body senses too much stress, it wants to protect itself. Two ways to do this. One is reduce its caloric requirements because for most of human history, stress meant we didn't have enough food. And number two, improve its ability to store more body fat, because body fat is an insurance policy against the most common form of stress for most of human history, which was not having enough food. The irony is that the more days that you're training in the gym, the more technical or the more challenging you're running your program is. Totally. If you're only lifting two to four days a week, Much more basic. It is more basic and you can get away with the routine looking pretty similar. You could get after it the same those two to three days every time you're training and be okay as far as intensity, as far as what you're training. But you start getting seven days a weekend, the frequency that you hit the muscle group, the intensity that you do it, the type of training you do every time in there, it gets more and more difficult, which the reason why I find that ironic is that I think people would think that, oh, seven days a week, the more I train, the more results I'll have, or the better it will be for me. And no, I actually think the more you're in the gym, the more difficult it is to know how to program correctly so that you don't run into what you call the recovery trap where you're just kind of spinning your wheels all the time. Yeah. The irony with that is you're in the gym and it's difficult to kind of program that, but on the other end of that, the consistency is something that's a lot easier because when you break it up throughout the week and you're only there, let's say two to three times during the week, it's really the motivation to keep that up, to keep up that routine tends to fall down quite a bit. Well, this is exactly why I did it. So, and Sal talks about this, right? Sal talks about his consistency and he knows that if I didn't train in the morning, I wouldn't be as consistent as I am.  That's his time. Nothing gets in the way of that. This is what I felt about getting ready for shows was I had to decide like, this is my time. Like, this is, I had a very strict routine in order to be consistent. And so, I didn't like the idea of, oh, a three or four day a week training program where I've got three or four days where I'm potentially off or not going to the gym. I needed like, I know that every day and back then, it used to be 12, dialed in. Yeah, 12 to two, I'm going to the gym. Nothing gets in the way of that. I built all the rest of my life around that time. So, nothing got in the way. But I know that I can't go to the gym and train the same way 12 to two every single day. But I'm going to go to the gym and I found that it was easier for me to stay consistent with something like that. By the way, this is a documented psychological phenomenon. So, on one hand, working out every single day means that you have to carve out time every single day. On the other hand, it is easier to stay consistent because it's a daily routine. Your drug manufacturers knew this a long time ago. So, for example, old school birth control pills for women, right? They'll take the birth control. This is the old way of doing it. A lot of birth control now has changed. But in the past, they would say, okay, take these birth control pills for X amount of days and then create an artificial period where you go off for seven days, you get your period, and then you go back on. Here's how they design the birth control pills.  Seven of them are sugar pills. Why did they do this? It dramatically improved and increased the consistency. Because when people went off for seven days, had to remember to go back on, you would have people messing up their schedules. Now supplement companies know this as well. There's a reason why supplement companies will often attach their product to a daily routine. Take this in the morning. Take this before bed. Take this with lunch. Things you do every single day because you're more likely to be consistent. So working out every day or carving time out every single day for a lot of people is actually easier to stay consistent. I agree. Then it would be to only have three or four days when you could say to yourself, well, I've already worked out twice. I don't think I'll work out tomorrow. Before you know it, it builds up and now you missed your workouts for the week and you got to start over the following week. So let's talk a little bit about the components of what a seven day a week workout routine would look like.  Essentially, this is a routine that's essentially going to train your body to look really good and move really good.  They want to look really good. They want to perform really well. And that's generally most people's goals. It just sort of covers the broad base of getting that kind of functional strength, also building muscle, but applying adequate recovery and implementing that. So you have structure for each one of these days. So I love this too that we're doing this because when we started to piece this together, it looks very, very similar to what my seven day routine is. And the first thing that we kind of agreed on is the first rule that I gave myself. So one of the rules I said was, okay, I'm going to be in this gym six to seven days a week and I have a big goal. I'm trying to get on stage, do these things. I have to be careful that I don't overdo it. And so I had this hard rule of I would never allow myself more than two really hard training days. By hard, I mean like compound lifts, high intensity type of training. Heavy weight going after it. Very demanding. Yeah. I wanted to separate those out by a few. Obviously, I wouldn't go hard, hard back to back days. I want to give a couple of days in between. I want two of them are like my intense training sessions where I'm going after the big major lifts. I'm getting after it really hard. And then the other days I'd have to modify around. Yeah. I agree with that a hundred percent. I think if you're working out every day, two days a week, hard is perfect for most people. You want to center it. Like Adam said, compound lifts. This is where you do your squats and your bench presses and your rows. This is when your rep range can be between six to 12. Your training at, you know, near failure. In other words, your sets, you're taking them to, you know, two reps before failure. So it's a very intense working set. You're doing about one exercise per body part and about three sets per exercise. And typically you'll start with a large body parts and go down to the smaller ones. And, you know, as we get through all of these points that we're going to make, I think, you know, we'll give you guys more specifics in terms of what that workout's going to look like. Ideally, Adam said this, you want the two workouts, the two hard workouts to have some space in between them. Right. So if I were to do a week of this, my two hard workouts would be Monday and Thursday, for example. So Monday, hard, heavy workout, then I'd do a couple other different workouts, which we'll get into on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, another hard, heavy workout. So that's the first one. Here's the second piece that I think is very important. Well, let's actually address the why. You know what I'm saying? Like why, why not back to back? Why not three days in a row of hard, intense lifting? You could, you can definitely do three days a week of hard lifting, but not when you're working out seven days a week also, right? That's just too much for most people. If you're only working out three days a week, you could do three hard workouts, but not if you're working out every single day. Yeah. And plus we know what the research says. You talked about this in a recent episode that there is a sweet spot. There is. It's somewhere between nine to 20 sets. If you're doing six days a week of just based off the math that you just said of how many sets you're doing for that most, you're way beyond that. So you're training the volume that you're training at is way higher than what's needed. And the intensity level that you're potentially going after it in those days is way more than what you need also. So then the body is just trying to recover this entire time rather than build instead of a building and adapting. So that's, that is the reason why, because someone might be going like, well, why, what if I feel good or why can't I just do three days or four days of hard training or just go like that all the time? It's like, again, and you, you did this really well. So the other day is like, what your body can handle is different than what is optimal for your body. So just because you can handle beating it up three or four days a week, does it mean that's what's going to give you the most results? And for some reason it's really tough for people to make that connection. Yeah, think about, think about the temperature of your house, right? There's an ideal temperature that feels the best. And then there's an extreme heat and cold you can maximum. You can tolerate. Yeah.  The right dose will get you to the fastest. More than that, that's great that you can handle that. You're not going to get there any faster. At the least, you're just going to get there the same speed and you're just wasting time. But what's more likely is you actually slow down your progress because you're adding more stress to the body that's not necessary. Now, why have the days in between that are other workouts? Because these are hard, heavy workouts. You would like to see yourself progress with strength in these workouts. Back to back doesn't give you enough time typically to give you the body ability to adapt and build some strength. So you want to have that space. And to that point, that's the reason why the next things that we're going to do in between are going to promote the recovery so that you can even get after it that much harder on Thursday. Yeah. Now this next one, you know, Justin was adamant on and we all completely agreed, which is there should be one day a week. Your workout should be devoted completely to mobility. So you should literally do a one hour mobility workout. And your goal in this workout is to increase your functional range of motion. So what's functional range of motion? Okay. So range of motion would be like how far someone could lift my leg up to my head. So how far can my hamstring stretch? Functional range of motion is how far can I stretch that hamstring while having strength and connection to it? Two very different things. Now imagine somebody putting you in a deep stretch. You don't have very much connection to that. If you had to move real quick, you probably tear your hamstring or injure yourself. So what we're looking for is functional range of motion, functional mobility. So you own all of these ranges of motion, reduces injury, and maximizes those hard workouts that we talked about earlier. Right. There's nothing passive about these days. And you know, to address sort of a misconception that this is sort of allotting a very like easy, nice, relaxing type of a workout. No, this can be something very challenging and intensive. And you're actually like, you're working completely on a different focus. And that is to be able to really hyperconnect to your central nervous system, to be able to have these like secondary type of muscles respond to protect the joints. And so, you know, and also to maintain certain posture and maintain optimal positions in the joint. So that way when you go back to your compound lifts, you have an increase in performance. Now, in a perfect world, this mobility day looks very individualized for the people, right? So in a perfect world. It's impossible to do though with how many people are watching this right now. Exactly. So, and our goal of this episode was to give, you know, the audience something tangible that they can go and do themselves and start to apply to see, you know, what kind of results they get from it. So a great place for the audience to go start, start at is our PrimeProWebinar.com. It's absolutely free. That's your workout. That's right. I take you through 50 minutes, literally follow that routine for this day. So for now, and what's great about that is, is I pretty much address from the ankle to the back. You address the grossest offenders. That's right. You pick the stuff that probably 80 to 90% of people are going to benefit. And that's why I did it. I figured I'd put together a routine that I knew would benefit damn near everybody that goes through. It'll benefit everybody that goes through it, and some people it'll be tremendously beneficial. Now, as you get better and better at this, or if you're somebody who owns PrimePro and you understand what mobility things you should be doing, you've already figured out your areas of dysfunction and you know what areas are helping you the most, you know, stick in that. But for the listener who is not familiar with putting together a mobility day and what would that look like, that routine is perfect for you to start. So start with that and follow that for the beginning. Now, what's good about this is when you follow this routine, because here's the deal with mobility. For most people watching and listening, doing it right is actually quite challenging if you've never done it before. Because what we're used to is stretching, what we're used to is, oh, I'm going through a movement. But intention is so important with mobility work, and it's so valuable to have someone coach you through the mobility movements while you're doing them so you really understand how to make them effective. At PrimeProWebinar.com, that's exactly what Adam does. He's literally coaching you, so you're watching him and he's coaching you through the movements. So to give you an example, it's like if I, and this is not a mobility movement, I'm using a silly example. Let's say I put my chest in a deep stretch. I have to, with my intention, now that it's in the stretch, connect to the chest, connect to the rhomboids, connect to the rear delt, connect to all the muscles that support that new range of motion so that I own that deeper range of motion. So similarly, what Adam does is he takes you through all these different, very valuable movements and then he coaches you through the movement. And trust me, this is not like a Sunday stretch session where you're playing music and you're out in the sun relaxing. You're going to sweat. Oh, you're going to sweat. It's going to be tough. You're going to feel this. It is a workout, but the goal of the workout is to improve your functional mobility. Now, I want to sell this to my young audience that's listening that doesn't have joint pain, feels like they move optimally and perfect already and that are going to want to go, oh, well, I don't really need that. So I'm going to throw another day if we're training in here. I don't care what you do. And what I want to sell you on is that it isn't just for improved mobility and movement and joint support, everything that Justin was selling and telling you, it's also going to facilitate recovery. Yes. So it's also going to support that high intensity heavy compound lifting day that you just did before. This is going to help speed up recovery for you to build more muscle and prepare you for Thursday again to get after it. Yes. And it's going to make your compound heavy lifts more effective. If you can imagine a point scoring system that's awarded to exercises and ranks them in terms of their value, so let's say a squat is 100, 100 points, maximum benefit from a barbell squat. That doesn't mean that you're going to derive 100 points of value from the squat. It only means that that's the max potential of the squat. Now, what determines that potential? Your ability to connect, your ability to move, your range of motion that you have function over. That's what makes that squat worth 100. What makes you better at getting closer to that maximum benefit of the barbell squat? Your functional mobility. So doing these functional mobility days will make your other workouts far more effective. All right, here's the third piece that we think should be included in your workout. You should focus on getting a pump about two days a week. So two days a week, you're working out in the gym or at home. The goal isn't heavy high intensity like with the compound lifts. You're not working on functional mobility like with the mobility day. Your goal is to get a pump and add some more volume and frequency while minimizing the damage that you produce to the body. Because you don't want to cause too much more damage, but I still want to send a muscle building signal. This is where bodybuilding, some of the things you learn in bodybuilding can become quite valuable. Yeah, and this is smart because too, in terms of practice and teaching your body, to be able to express that muscle contraction more frequently, you're going to get better at a lot of these lifts and your muscles are going to respond accordingly. But not the key is the appropriate amount of intensity. And that's something that we scale through this process and we're able to kind of focus in on that a little bit more to the individual group. So we're a little bit more single joint focused. So what this is starting to shape up to look like is Monday we have these hard compound lifts. So this is the day we get after it, the big lifts. We're more strength training focused. Day two, we've got an hour of mobility that we're doing, which is you follow the Prime Pro. Now day three, we're moving into what we would call like a focus type of session where we're doing more isolation time. So this is like cable push downs and bicep curls and lateral raises and a lot of movements like that. Very similar to anybody who's bought or gone through our maps aesthetic program. We have what are called focus days that complement the foundational days. The compound lifting that you're doing on Monday, that would represent like our foundational days that we build in most of our programs. What we're talking about right now would be like our focus days where you are. And your rep range, they're higher rep range. Yeah, 15 to 20. That's right. We're up to 15, 20. We're searching up. The mindset's different now too, right? So when you go into this, it's not the same as when you're going after the six rep range and we're doing compound lifts, we're trying to move weight. We're trying to move weight and the intensity and the focus is completely different. When you go into the isolation days, now it's about getting the pump. It's about time and attention, controlling it, slowing the repetition down, doing these isolation exercises and training that way for this entire round. Yeah, I did that this morning in fact. I came in and my body's feeling a little stiff and I needed to go lighter. And so what you would have seen me doing is I'm going much lighter and I'm doing more isolation exercises. So like instead of doing a heavy bench press, I might do some cable flies. I may do a dumbbell chest press, but light where I'm focusing on the squeeze, right? So higher reps, lighter weight, focus on getting the pump and you're doing again one exercise per body part for about three sets. Now the next day, this one's also very important and this is what we would call a functional day. So functional exercises tend to involve the entire body and you tend to move into different planes as you're doing this exercise. What do I mean by planes? Okay, so if I do a curl, I'm moving in one plane, right? I'm not twisting, I'm not moving behind me, I'm just moving in one plane. Functional movements tend to get you to move in different ways all the way through to get your body to communicate. So to get your upper body to communicate with your lower body, to get your left to communicate with your right to activate what's called proprioceptive ability. Where's my body in space, right? So like a good example of a functional exercise that would fall in this category would be like a Turkish getup. You do a Turkish getup, it's not a shoulder exercise per se, it's not a core exercise per se, it's not a leg exercise per se, although all those muscles are activated and more. But what it's doing is it's getting the whole body to move and communicate together. And this is important because our joints are capable of so many different angles and has so much range. And if we're not expressing that, then our body starts to sort of down regulate and starts to prune off the abilities that we have. And this is just trying to reinforce a lot of the capabilities that we already have. So we need to be able to train that and plan that out. So I can get them to respond appropriately going back into these regular barbell type lifts. Yeah, it also lends itself so well to getting great at the compound lifts. So going back to these intense days that are your biggest bang for your buck or what are probably gonna build the most amount of muscle on you, you get really good at a Turkish getup and you go back and see what your overhead press or what your squats look like. You'll see that movement. There's carryover. Yeah, there's carryover to that. And that's why I like movements like the Turkish getup because in order to articulate that entire movement, it's broken in like eight parts and components. And you literally from your toes to your neck, everything is being stimulated. And in order to do it properly and really well, it promotes good shoulder mobility, it promotes good hip mobility, good trunk stability, but the ability to rotate in multiple planes. You have good control through that entire thing. Then you go over and do something that is actually a lot easier as far as the amount of movement that's involved like a squat and you'll see how much carryover is into that. Well, and this is so important because in real life, you're faced with all kinds of like weird unique angles. And if you're super strong in the gym, that's great, but now that's gonna be your hardwired response. So let's say like now you have just a little bit of rotation in there. How does your body respond? It might over respond the wrong way. And so this is gonna help to teach it to support your joints, but also maintain your strength. And it also makes a lot of sense to structure it this way where it's like a full functional day in a routine like this. Because what I don't wanna do because I just did a focus session, I've already had a heavy compound lifting day. I don't wanna tax individual muscles the same way. I wanna get a full body workout. I wanna promote blood flow. I wanna promote recovery. I wanna work on control, stability, range of motion, get stronger. All those things are gonna come from this functional day, but I'm not gonna get my triceps hella sore from a Turkish get out.  You're not stressing the muscles as much as you're stressing the communication between the muscles and the movement, which benefits all the other workouts and has value in and of itself. I remember when we first started the podcast, Justin was definitely a very functional, he's still a very functional training guy and he convinced me to give a windmill a try. Now, I've always been able to lift a lot of weight, very strong in that exercise. I went to try a deadlift and I couldn't even get, excuse me, a windmill and I couldn't even get in the position. It's like my body didn't know that movement. So I'm like, I gotta practice this. So I started practicing the windmill and I got to the point where I could do it with like a 70 pound kettlebell, not a ton of weight, but huge improvement from not being able to do it at all. I was blown away that my deadlift went up. I was stronger in my deadlift. Now, I could break it down and be like, oh, my QL got worked better and things are stretching in my hip, but the reality is when I did my deadlift, I just felt more stable in my lift and I didn't expect that. I didn't do the windmills to get a better deadlift. I did the windmills because I couldn't do that movement. I kind of freaked me out, but the side effect was I got better at my deadlift. So there's lots of value for muscle building and strength performance. So even if you're not a functional person and you don't really care, you just wanna build muscle, one day a week of this, one day a week of this, you're gonna still touch all the muscles of your body. So you're still sending somewhat of a muscle building signal, but it's gonna make your body move better and communicate better with itself. So when you do those other lifts, those heavy lifts that are building muscle, you're just better at them. And I wanna stress this to the audience that this will be new to is fall in love with the process of improving the movement more than trying to prove that you can do more weight. Yes, yes. So just because I'm strong enough to go out there right now and grab a 60 to 100 pound kettlebell and hold that and do a Turkish getup, I know that I won't be able to move through the whole exercise beautifully. And that's the goal on these functional days is to really improve the movement of it, not necessarily, oh yeah, I could do 100 pound kettlebell when I do a Turkish getup and say, yeah, but if it looks like shit, who cares? Yeah. So when you do these functional exercises that we're gonna lay out for you, the goal is to get great at the movement. Let that, so notice that all these days have different mental flow. That's the challenge of seven days a week. Seven days a week, every time you go in the gym, you gotta switch your mindset. It's not always gonna be the same. You're not going in with the same mindset all seven days. Each day you have to kind of change like, okay, this is the focus today. Today it's all about mobility, it's all about the intention of the movement and it's about connecting really well and moving controlled and slow. When I'm going after compound lifts, I'm getting after it, I wanna move as much as I can. When I'm going into these isolation days, when I'm doing more of the pumping exercises, it's about time and attention and control and form and feeling a pump in the muscle. Now I'm on functional day. Functional day is all about the movement. Can I make this movement beautiful? Can I make it look perfect? Organizing and putting it all together. Yeah, and that doesn't mean that you can't scale up or progressively overload. But the goal is the movement. That's right. Perfect the movement first before you start to add load to it. Totally. Don't add load to a crappy movement pattern. That totally defeats the entire purpose. All right, so this last point that we're gonna make is one that now comes from our collective wisdom. Now I know I use that word to replace the word old because we've been around for a while. But the truth is, we've trained people for decades. We've been working out ourselves for decades and this last piece is extremely valuable. Don't leave it out and don't worry, we'll sell to you why it's so valuable. And that's this. One day a week, you're gonna do a one hour hike or walk outside. That's the important part. You gotta do it outside. Now every time I talk about this, here's what fitness fanatics think and then what they say to me. So they think, oh, an hour of activity. I'm gonna burn calories. This makes lots of sense. Why do I gotta do it outside? It's raining. It's snowing. It's hot. Like why don't I just do it on the treadmill? Here's why. It's not about the activity. That's nice bonus. But the reality is it's really about being outside. What about when it's hot or cold or raining? That's gonna give you even more value. We now know that challenging your body's ability to deal with the elements strengthens your body's ability to adapt in a general way. So what does that mean? It's a hermetic stress. When you're lifting weights or working out, what you're asking your body to do is to adapt, right? If your body didn't adapt, it would be a waste of time to work out. Like I'm not getting any stronger no matter what I do. Like, okay, why am I doing this, right? Or I'm not strengthening my body or I'm not burning body fat, right? All of those are adaptations. Your body builds muscle because it's adapting to stress.  Same thing with improving performance. Your body's ability to handle the elements, to get comfortable in the elements, is an adaptation system. And if that is weak, just like if any other adaptation system in your body is weak, it's gonna affect all the other adaptation systems. Now, we have, because modern life is so comfortable, because we have air conditioning, heating, we have atrophied this particular adaptation system. And this isn't just my theory, okay? Look at the studies, for example, that are done on hot and cold therapy. Look at the studies done on saunas. Do you know that regular sauna use? Which is just heat, okay? Just heat by itself. Regular sauna use decreases all-cause mortality by something like 20 or 30%, which is insane. This is regardless of other lifestyle factors. Just that alone. Cold therapy has some other interesting properties. Not to mention the benefit of going out and getting the sun. Not to mention the benefit of getting fresh air. We know this instinctively. How many times have you said to yourself, like, I need to get some fresh air, right?  What's the difference between the air outside and the air inside? There's a big difference. So going outside, bearing the elements for an hour, tremendous benefits for health, and downstream muscle building fat loss. Don't you think that's why this trend has happened in the last decade or so of the hot, cold plunges and the saunas and the ice baths and the cryotherapy? You've been removed from it. Right, and don't you think that a lot of the research and studies that are showing all the benefits has a lot to do with that we now don't do that anymore? I bet you 100 years ago, you wouldn't see the same benefits that we see today. I bet you if we did research on people 100, 200, 300 years ago. No, why would they do that when that's their day? Every day, they were fighting the elements like that, and so their body had to adapt, had to get strong to handle all that, where we've been in this Kush lifestyle for the last century, that we haven't been challenged this way. So then it outcomes all this research to show, oh my God, look how beneficial the cold plunges, look how beneficial the hot saunas. Well, I think the reason why that those things are so beneficial today is mainly because we've neglected it for so long. We live in flat, sterilized environments that don't challenge us at all because we want to make our life easier. That's been the whole goal with progress is to make our lives less challenging. And when we remove the challenge, we're not stimulating the body like we need to and we're breathing recycled air, we're not getting sunlight, we're not getting a lot of these things that spark and stimulate the body in a certain way that's gonna help to protect us when we actually get challenged. So whenever you find yourself feeling like, oh my God, I'm carrying all this stress, but now I'm facing a new variable, how do I respond to that if I'm not training myself to respond to it properly? By the way, it's not just like training your mental capacity to handle heat or handle cold or handle the elements. Your body actually adapts to be able to handle these things a lot better. Like I'll never forget as a kid, my, you know, at the time he was in his 70s, 70-something-year-old grandfather visiting from Sicily.   So he's been around, he's worked hard, right? He comes to visit and he goes to work with my dad and I. This is when I would help my dad in the summers and we're mixing cement in the summer and it's hot. And I'm 15 years old, I work out, I got, you know, I'm spry or whatever. And I'm dying and my grandfather's whistling while he's mixing cement. And I'm like, this guy is made of something completely different. I remember also spending the night in their home up in Sicily with no air conditioning. He didn't grow up with air conditioning. And it was, these are cement houses. It was sweltering and he's smoking a cigarette inside and I'm just dying. I can't believe it, right? I also know I've had friends who've come from different parts of the country. I had a friend who came from Minnesota and she would, in 62 or 63 degree weather, which for a Californian is freezing, okay? 63 degrees here in San Jose. I'm wearing a sweater and sweats. She was in shorts and a tank top. And I remember asking her, I'm like, aren't you cold? And she's like, it's warm outside. She goes, you have no idea. I grew up in Minnesota. My body's adapted to the cold. So your body adapts to these types of things. You can train this in your body. And believe me, when you train your body in a way to adapt to these things, all your other adaptation systems start to follow suit.  So go outside for an hour, regardless of the elements. Now I wanna make a point before we lay out and give the exactly what these seven days are gonna look like for the audience because I have a feeling that this episode will be one of the ones that go viral. Just these types of topics were, especially since we're giving away a complete workout. It was a free maps program. Right, so since we're doing that, I know that this is gonna reach a lot of people that have no idea who the hell Mind Pump is. So if you've been listening for a long time, I don't feel I need to convince or explain everything that we just went through. But what I know is if you've come across as someone shares this, this was the first time you've heard us talk about so that the biggest mistake or the number one mistake that will be made with this program is wanting to do more.  So I'm gonna do this now.  I don't feel like going and doing that. I'm gonna do another one of those. Well, what if I do a five hour hike? Exactly, exactly. The idea of this was if we were going to construct a routine that you are training seven days, an hour at a time, every single day, what type of stuff would I build for a client of mine for optimal results? This is for somebody who's trying to build the most amount of muscle, burn the most amount of body fat, or just be as healthy as they possibly can, strength and longevity wise, this is what that routine would look like. So do not fool yourself and go, oh, well, I'm more of this person so I'm gonna do more of those things. Or I'm less of this person so I'm gonna eliminate those one thing. Trust the process, follow this routine for at least 30 days and watch what happens. All right, so here's the breakdown and if you're listening on the podcast, you can write this down. Luckily for you people watching on YouTube, we're gonna flash this workout up on the screen so you can literally screenshot it. Can we put it in the notes Andrew too? Yeah, that's a good idea, let's put it in the notes. We'll save all these in the notes so someone can literally just kind of copy and paste. This is literally, we're writing out the workout for you. Okay, so Monday and Thursday are your heavy workouts. Here's what your Monday workout looks like, okay?  All of these are for three sets, all of them are for six to 12 reps. The Thursday workout, so I'm skipping a couple days, that's because we're gonna have other workouts in between, but we're talking about the heavy compound lift workouts, right?  Again, three sets, six to 12 reps. The mobility workout, which you're gonna follow the Prime Pro webinar, right? So you're gonna do this particular mobility workout, and I think we have the mobility workout set up for Saturday, if you were to follow this exactly, is literally go to primeprowebinar.com and have Adam coach you through the workout. After you follow that for two or three workouts, you'll probably have a good idea on how to do it on your own, but I highly suggest you have him coach you, because mobility is probably the most complicated or hard to understand of all these workouts. And this can be done in the gym and watching it on your phone, or this can be done on your television at home. You don't need equipment for this. That's right. You can do this just on the floor, right? The pump workout, so these are the ones where you're trying to get a pump, 15 to 20 reps, more isolation exercises. Here's Tuesday's pump workout.  By the way, resistance bands are excellent for pump workouts. They provide very little damage to the body in comparison to weights or machines, but they still send a very good muscle building signal. Strength athletes use them all the time, exactly because of this. I put bands as the trigger session workouts and maps in a ball, which is very popular, specifically because of what I just said. Minimal damage, you still send a muscle building signal and you get a great pump. Friday is the next, is the other pump workout, right? Here are your exercises. Your single leg toe touch, band flies, band rows, band pull apart, excuse me, band curls, band press downs, and then band side chops for your core. Here's your functional day. So that was the one that we talked about earlier, where you're focusing on the movement. Your functional day is going to be Wednesday. You're going to do three sets of each of these exercises. The repetitions can be anywhere between five to 10. Let's go with Turkish get-ups, windmills, Cossack squats, and then overhead carries. You're going to carry for about 25 to 35 steps, okay? Overhead carry. You put basically a weight over your head, extend your arms, and do it down for 25, 35 steps, and then back. We have videos for all this on our YouTube channel, I believe. I don't think there's any exercise that we've said. Everything that we're saying here on YouTube. It's all going to be that, right? And then here's your go outside. I don't need to break this down for you. Go for a walk or a hike, regardless of the weather. In fact, the more harsh the weather is, of course, be safe.  So if it's a hurricane, please don't listen to what we said, and go walk out in a hurricane. Be smart, cover yourself up, whatever you need to do. But if the weather's bad or whatever, that's actually part of the value of this, and you're going to do that on Sunday. So that's your Sunday workout. So two things I want to add that'll help the audience out that may not know this or if you're first time finding us. One of the best ways to find out information that we've already covered, which everything we've talked about in here we've covered, is that when you're on the YouTube channel and or Google, you literally put mind pump, and then what you have a question about. So if there's an exercise you're unfamiliar with, you don't know the form and technique, put mind pump, then that exercise, it'll populate on YouTube. The second question that I know is going to get asked by a lot of people is, how do I choose my weight? I did a video a year or two ago about how to choose the right weight for you. We'll do the, maybe Andrew can post it up right away. So somebody, or you guys can see that and switch over to the link on that. If that's a question for you, search that to help you figure out where to start. But one thing I want to say about all of this, when you're doing this form technique, start lighter first, get good at it before you start to scale up the weight. Yeah, thanks for saying that. Okay, real quick overview. Monday, heavy workout. Tuesday, pump workout. Wednesday, functional workout. Thursday, heavy workout again. Friday, pump workout again. Saturday, mobility workout. Sunday, outside workout. By the way, this is the first time we've really created a free program in giving it away on an episode. So it obviously costs you nothing. Copy it. You're going to see it on the video. You can screenshot it, write it out, follow it. This is your seven day a week. Share this with your friends and family. You know, obviously more people who can get involved, the better you have accountability wise and all that kind of stuff. Yeah, and you're going to get great results. Look, if you'd like this information and you want more, you want to learn more from Mind Pump, that's free. Head over to mindpumpfree.com. We have more guides, more information there that can help you with all of your fitness goals and desires. Also, you can find all of us on Instagram, so you can find Justin at Mind Pump.

Live from Orlando, Florida, it's theCUBE, covering Cisco Live 2018, brought to you by Cisco, NetApp, and theCUBE's ecosystem partners. Hello, welcome back, everyone. It's the live CUBE coverage here in Orlando, Florida for Cisco Live 2018. I'm John Furrier, my co-host, Stu Miniman, three days of wall-to-wall live coverage. We have Manny Whaley, Senior Director of Developer Experience, Cisco DevNet and Par Marat, who is the Senior Director of Community and Ecosystem for DevNet, and you're great to see you, CUBE alumni. Every single time we had theCUBE with DevNet team, Par, great to see you. Congratulations, first of all, thanks for coming on. Thank you, we're happy to be here. Congratulations, so really kind of a proud moment for you guys, and I want to give you some mad props on the fact that you guys have built a successful developer program, DevNet and DevNet Create for Cloud Native, over a half a million registered, engaged users of developers using it, not just people who come to the site, real developers. For an infrastructure enterprise company, that's a big deal. Congratulations. It is, thank you, thank you. We were just chatting this morning about the really early days of DevNet at Cisco Live and the first year of DevNet Create, and it's been great to see that community grow and see, early on we had this vision of bringing the application developers and the infrastructure engineers together and cross-pollinating those teams and having them learn about each other's fields and then build these programmable infrastructure enabled apps, and that's really, that synergy is happening within the community and it's great to see them exchanging ideas here at events like this. And so we love to talk about, you know, seminal moments, and obviously DevOps drove a lot of the cloud, and Chuck Robbins, your CEO, said, without networking, there'd be no cloud. True statement, absolutely. But Stu and I always talk about the role of a network engineer and that the power that they used to have in the enterprise, as I still do, used to be the top people running the network, mission critical, obviously security, but it's not about a retraining. It's about a path, and I think what you guys have done in success is you've shown a path where it's not about pivoting and being relevant and retraining to get a new job, it's been an extension of what they already know. And I think that's very refreshing and I think that's the real discovery. And we've been able to grow because I think in our foundational years, we really spent a lot of time providing the content and the skill training, and what Mandy likes to say is we met them where they are. So no question was too novice. Likewise, if they were a little more advanced, we could direct them and point them in that same direction. So those early years, where Mandy, we were just reminiscing about the first DevNet, Putting 101. Yes, exactly. She wrote it over the weekend and we rolled that whole event out, literally in three months. And what year was that? This is important. 2014, May of 2014. 2014, the seeds that we should do something. You guys have had certifications. We're looking at CCIEs. You go back to 1993 all the way now to 2018. So it's not like you guys are new to certification and training. It's just taking the IQ of network people and giving them some insight. So what happened in 2014? Take us through the, obviously, you bootstrapped it. Yes. What happened next? We did. Everyone's saying, whoa, we can't. We're staying below the stack here. We knew there was a lot of buzz around SDN and programmability and we both actually, I should even back up further. We were both on the DevNet team when the DevNet program was PowerPoints. So we weren't even there yet. When we were just planning what it even could be. Like the idea of Cisco having a developer program. And like Parv was saying, we knew SDN was coming. We knew network controllers were coming. We didn't know what they were going to be called. We didn't know what those APIs looked like. But we said, the network engineers are going to need to know how to make REST API calls. They're going to need to know how to operate in Python. And so we started this program building around that vision before the portfolio is where it is today. Like today, now we have APIs across the whole portfolio, data center, service provider, enterprise and then up and down from the devices all the way to controllers up to the analytics level. So the portfolios really filled out and we've been able to bring that community along with it, which has been great. I want to dig into the north, south, east, west and that whole kind of the cloud paradigm. But I got to ask you on a personal question relative to the definite success. Was there a moment where, actually the seminal was in 2014. Was there a moment where you're like, wow, this is working. And like, you know, pinch me moment. Or was it more of, we got to get more resources. This is not just the things flying. Well it's always that, it's always the challenge. When was the point where you said this is actually the best path, it's working, double down, what was that happening? I mean I think after we started teaching those very early coding classes, I got this like flood of email from people who attended them that said, I took this task, I automated it, it saved my team months of work. And like getting that flow of information back from the community was early signs to me from like the technical level of there's value, this is going to take off. And then I think we just saw that kind of grow and grow and grow, yeah. The other thing that I heard from a network engineer which really resonated with me was you were saying the network guy, or gal likes to be there and solve the problem and they're sort of at this deep level of control. And what I heard them say about the programmability skills was that that was another tool that they added to their sort of toolbox that let them be that person in the moment solving that problem and they could just solve it in a new way. So hearing the network engineers say that they've adopted programmability in that fashion, that let me know that that was going to work, I think. Yeah. All right, so let's get into some of the meat and potatoes because you guys had some really good announcements. We saw you have the code ecosystem that you announced at DevNet Create, which is your emerging cloud native worlds coming together. That's available now. Yes. So take a minute. It's fully released. So give us the update. Yes, so DevNet code exchange is developer.sysco.com slash code exchange. So you can go there, it's live. And the idea behind this was we wanted to make it easy for the community to contribute and also to discover code written by the community. So it's on GitHub. You can go and search on GitHub, but you get back a ton of hits if you go search Cisco on GitHub, which is great. But what we wanted to have was a curated list that you can filter by product, by language.  You can say, I want code for DNA center or ACI and I want it in Python and then see all of the repositories submitted by the community. And then the community can also share their code. Say, I've been working on this project. I'm going to add it to code exchange so that other people can build off of it and find it. So it's really about this community contribution, which is a strategic initiative for DevNet for this year. Mandy, how does that tie into other networking initiatives happen in the industry? I think of Open Daylight, a lot of stuff happening in Dockercons this week, Kubernetes, and networking's a critical piece of all of these environments. Yeah, so some of the projects that you'll find in code exchange are things that relate. So we have like some really good open source community projects around Yang models and the tooling to help you deal with Yang models. So those might be in code exchange, but those are also part of the Open Daylight community and being worked in that. So because it is all open source, because it is freely shared and it's really just a way to improve discoverability, we can share easily back and forth between the community. So code and share is designed to really help people peer to peer, work together, and reuse code in the classic open source ethos. Exactly. Okay, so Par, you have something going on with ecosystem exchange. We do. Okay, so it sounds like code exchange, ecosystem partners, matchmaking service. What is it? It's kind of the next level up and what I think we have to understand is when we've got code exchange and ecosystem exchange under the umbrella of exchange, because within our 500, half a million community of developers where they work, what we've found is predominantly at SIs, at our vars, at our ISVs. So these are the builders. So code exchange will even help that persona because they can come and see what's already been built as there's something that can jumpstart my development. And if there's not, then they can work with each other, right? So if I am looking for a partner, a VAR in Australia to help me roll out my application, my navigation application, which needs to know and get data from the network, I can partner through this exchange because I can go in, see everyone, and be able to make that connection digitally versus organically. And this really started, you asked earlier, what was one of the pinnacle moments? Well, at these DevNet zones, what we found is that an ISV would partner and start talking to an SI or to a VAR, and they'd start doing business planning because what this is all about is driving those business outcomes for our customer base and we're finding more and more they're trying to work together. So you're enabling people to do some work together, but not trying to be a marketplace where you're actually charging or transaction. It's really kind of a matchmaking. This is all about discovery right now. Community-driven discovery around business. Yeah, it's interesting, I heard a story in the hallway about DevNet because I love to get the examples of, we love what you're doing by the way, but love to get the examples. Overheard a guy saying we were basically cratering a business, jumped into the DevNet program and turned it around because there was deals happening. So the organic nature of the community allowed for him to get his hands dirty and leverage it, but actually build business value. That's exactly right. That's a huge, at the end of the day, people love to play with COVID, they're building something for business purposes or open source projects. And that's what this is about. It's really transitioning from the, I'm going to build to now there's business value associated with it and that's spectacular. I think so much of my career, you talk to the poor network administrators, like, oh, I'm going to lock myself for a month and I'm going to do all this scripting and then three months later the business comes and asks for something and I need to go do it again because it's not repeatable. It's what we say is that the challenge has been that undifferentiated, heavy lifting that too many companies do. Well, that's exactly it. And the interesting thing, especially around intent-based networking, is that's opening up a whole new opportunity of innovation and services. And one of the things that is very much different with our ecosystem exchange is it's the whole portfolio. So we have SIs in there as well as ISVs and most, you know, marketplaces or catalogs really look at it in a siloed version. I have one example of kind of the two coming together that's really interesting. So, Meraki, which is the wireless network, has really great indoor location-based services you can get from the wifi. And then there's Ben ISVs who have built indoor wayfinding on top of it, really great applications. But those software companies don't necessarily know how to go install a Meraki network or sell a Meraki network to something like this, you know? And so it's been a great way to see how some of those wayfinding companies can get together with the people who actually go sell and install and admin Meraki networks and come together because they would have a hard time finding each other. And the example is actually rolled out here at Cisco Live. We've Cisco Live partnered with the ISV to embed a cloud-based service in their app, which is navigation. So, you can go into the Cisco Live app, tap on the session that you want to see. Map will come up that will navigate you from where you are here to get there. And this is, I think this is the second largest conference center in the United States. So, having that map is really important. We've all got the steps to prove that. Yeah, and that actually brings one of the questions I had was, is it typically some new thing? Is, you know, it's new wireless rollout, some SD-WAN discovery? Or is it core networking, or is it kind of across the board as to when people get involved? It's definitely both, it's definitely both. I mean, from the code exchange piece, like I've talked to a lot of customers this week who are saying, we've got our core networking teams, we want to move towards more automation. We're trying to figure out how to get started. And so, we give them all the resources to get started, like our video series and the now code exchange. And then I heard from some people here, they actually coded up some things and submitted it to code exchange while they were here because they had an idea for just a simple, like, quick automation piece that they needed and they were like, I bet somebody else needs it too. So, it was definitely that. I noticed you guys also have your Cisco team, I was talking to some of the folks there, patents are being filed. So, internally at Cisco, it's kind of a wind of change happening. It is, it is. It is exciting times. I mean, IOT cameras, I just saw a solution behind us here where you plug in Raspberry Pi hardware prototype to an AP, makes the camera a video, you know, looks at facial recognition, saves the metadata, never stores video. Right, right. So, this is kind of the new model. So, final question I want to ask you is, as you guys continue to build community, you're looking for feedback, the role of integrating is critical. You mentioned the Cisco example about going to market together. It used to be, hey, I'm an integrator of our solution, business planning, okay, and then, you got to go to the Cisco rep and then it's just located. More and more it's coming together. It is. How are you guys bridging that, those two worlds? How are you tying it together? What's the plan? So, what we're finding is a lot of those partners are also sort of morphing. So, they're not just one thing anymore. And so, what we're doing is we're working with them, enabling them on our platforms, providing solid APIs that they can leverage, transitioning or expanding the code, the skill sets of their workers, and then we're partnering them up with our business partners and with our ISVs and doing a lot of that matchmaking. And with ecosystem exchange, again, they'll now be able to take that to a digital format. So, we're seeing a whole wave of people have to take them there. So, you guys see it coming. You're on that wave. All right, real quick. I know we got it short on time, but I would, Mandy, if you could just talk about what Susie, we, your leader, talked about on stage on the keynote. She mentioned DNA Center. Can you just take a quick second? Yes. Describe what that is, what's why it's important and impact to the community. Yes. So, we're really excited about DNA Center platform. DNA Center is the controller, kind of at the heart of all of our new enterprise networking software. So, it sits on top of the devices and it exposes a whole library of APIs that let you do assurance, policy, get device information, would allow you to build kind of self-service ops models so you could give more power to your power users to get access to network resources on board new devices, things like that. So, sets of services. So, it's APIs, and then you can build the services on top. And part of that is also the assurance which Dave Guckler showed in his keynote which we're really excited about. So, in DevNet, we've been working to build all the resources around those APIs and we have many code samples and code exchange. We actually have a community contribution sprints going on right now that's called Code Intent with DevNet. And it's all around DNA Center. It's asking developers to take a business intent and turn it into code and close the loop with assurance and submit that back to DevNet. So, we're really excited about that. It's real business process improvement with code. Yeah. So, you're enabling that and slinging APIs around, having fun. Yes. Are you having fun? Definitely having fun. Yeah. Absolutely. We always have fun. It's great too. I can say, working with you guys up close, it's been fun to work with you. And congratulations. You guys have worked really hard and built a very successful growing ecosystem of developers and partners. Congratulations. Thank you. You guys have helped. I appreciate it. Thanks for supporting theCUBE. We appreciate it. This is theCUBE, the DevNet team. Back in the early days, 2014, when it started now, it's booming. One of the successful developer programs in the enterprise here. Cisco's really showing the path. So, all about the community and the ecosystems. theCUBE, of course, doing our share, broadcasting here live in Orlando at Cisco Live 2018. Stay with us for more live coverage after this short break.


الله سبحانه وتعالى ان القرآن سد وهو الذي جعلكم خلائفة في الارض الله سد and his statements are the truth that he had appointed you, made you into خلائف which is the plural of خليفة a vice gerent custodians in the earth and Allah سبحانه وتعالى made this appointment in front of the angelic creation and not only that but he boasted about the position of the human being in front of the angels not in the worldly plane but in paradise but today we find that the most dangerous creature on earth is the human being so how is it that we were elevated to be ahead and above the angelic creation and have transformed ourselves collectively into a position of being the most dangerous creature on earth and I'm trying to make today some connections because many of us are witnessing one third of Pakistan underwater completely flooded one third of a country if just you comprehend one third of the country being underwater and this year we have experienced temperatures that have not been seen in at least in some records 500 or 1000 years in terms of breaking all types of temperature records and all of this is an outcome of our own irresponsibility as human beings in this realm whether over consumption, lack of attention to what we are doing completely almost in a state of heedlessness now I actually found out that Pakistan has the largest numbers of glaciers that are melting now again sometimes when people you can tell them about Pakistan they immediately think it's a desert like Saudi Arabia and I love the desert and I like love the places where our province lies but even we don't have an understanding of these places Pakistan Afghanistan India the China all these are massive lush green civilization started there as well as in Mesopotamia the Nile valley and today we're seeing all these places are literally being undone in front of our eyes so I said that the human being today is the most dangerous creature on the planet because we are literally I said here's your trust again if we take the Quran to be the truth from Allah says I'm appointing you as a human being you are the one who's responsible this عمر رضي الله عن سد if a cow tripped on its way on the side of a water canal I am afraid that Allah will ask me why I did not fix the road for that cow because he understood the responsibility and the responsibility that is assigned to us as human beings now the most beneficial creature on earth is the bee that's why Allah has a whole chapter on the bee now we know again as a result of our irresponsibility we have a whole host of bee families completely collapsing like the death of the bee is a harbinger is for us to reflect upon our responsibilities now I know somebody says well it's happening over there not here I don't know the past few days you had 110 160 120 temperatures that was completely not normal we have not had rain right so we are all living in a same boat and if somebody is walking a hole at the bottom of the boat you can be on the top having a suntan and saying it's not my problem the ice cab is melting in the north and the south we barely had any snow up in the top when they had the April what you call measurement there are only 2.5 inches which usually you get about 76 to 80 sometimes 90 inches 2.5 inches that's all and for those who drive up and down how way 8 or 50 you see that there was no water so the bees which are the most important creature because without bees you can't even have any of that you culture products that you eat you can't have the apples you can't have the oranges you can't have any of this because they pollinate so basically they are the source of what we eat it's not whole food or safe way just you know we think that whole food are safe are the ones that provide us the food is the bee that makes it possible for you to actually have the fruits and in the whole areas of the bees are sometimes 90% of them are dying off so there is a relationship between our responsibilities and what is taking place collectively now some will say well brother this is the signs of the end of time let me tell you something when the Prophet ﷺ died people thought that was the end of time literally some of the companions dug their grave and waited for the end of time that's 1,444 years ago when the big fitna took place when they assassinated people thought that was the end of time because people came and ranked the cities that's it that's the end of time in 680 when the big fitna again that occurred with the Hussein people also thought that was it the end of time because the Prophet ﷺ said between me being sent and the end of time are this much time when the Mongol invasion and ransacking of Baghdad in 1258 people said that's for sure there is nothing more to be said it's the end of time and you could actually see the poetry people were writing at the time that we have reached the end of time when they are expulsion from Granada 1492 same thing people said is the end of time what I'm pointing to is that the end of time is often a scenario for us to actually sit and be observers rather than participating in making the world better and that's where the Prophet ﷺ said ﷺ if the end of time comes upon you and you're planting a seed plant the seed he didn't say take a picture of it and tweet it don't take a selfie and put it on Instagram that there is a seed at the end of time because you want to see the end of time right as the world is collapsing you want to document it it's on Instagram I want to see you right so many people actually are taking selfies while they're falling so we get the evidence of how they fell because they're taking an Instagram they want to document I want to be I want to other see rather than actually you actually going out and doing the work the Prophet ﷺ did not want us to be preoccupied with the end of time the end of time is going to come nothing in the Sunnah nothing in the Quran tells us when it's going to happen this is the affairs of our Lord the Ruh and the end of time the end of time is from Allah سبحانه وتعالى there is nothing in the Quran nothing in the Hadith where you could say well I could calculate this tomorrow get busy nothing when the Prophet ﷺ was asked about it he says what did you prepare for it ماذا عددتها right so it's part of what you call almost getting a lack of engagement of the world because you become it says the end of time is coming but lean to my laziness because again the human being one part of us is really lazy and it becomes that you're watching almost a video of the world rather than actually be a participant in improving the world the Prophet ﷺ said plan the seed one of the most hopeful Hadiths that you could actually read the world is collapsing and you're busy in yourself planting a tree because a person who plans the tree is expecting the tree to grow at minimum if you're planting lettuce it will take a whole season for the lettuce to come out if you're planting an olive tree it's 14 years before the olive actually gives you fruit if you're planting a palm tree for dates it'll take many tries and many attempts until it gives you the first fruits so the Prophet ﷺ says if it's coming upon you they'll plant that seed right so again this is for us to realize that our affairs call for us to be people that improve and build this world عمارة الأرض the building of earth does not mean to build the tallest building it means to actually constantly take care and improve the world so you could give it to the next generation as I think we should appreciate the indigenous communities in here that said you should not take an action until you calculate it's effect seven generations forward and then you actually go back to see whether the action you take is good or not and this is actually from عارفخ عارفخ says before you take an action you have to take to the مأالات you have to look at the conclusion of the action and then you go back to see whether it's permissible or not because we're not people just of instantaneous right we're people of long term understanding and vision and sometimes we have to do things that we might not see it's fruit ourselves we are people that need to engage in improving the world now الله سبحانه وتعالى calls upon us not to be from among المسرفين right الله says ولا تطيعو أمر المسرفين don't obey the people who have this rough and I would say if people look at our lifestyle today you are living better status than the emperor of the Roman empire or the Persian empire today our lifestyle if you just if you just look at our lifestyle the emperor will actually envy you from what you have the emperor had to actually prepare for people to take him to travel from one place to the other we have all fruits at our disposal you go to any of the grocery stores you have not only one type of apple 15 types of apples a red apple a pink apple pink ladies apple the fat apple Washington apple Chili's apple right people used to be lucky to actually see an apple even in the season we can drive anywhere you could take a flight anywhere all these we are in a better lifestyle than possibly what any of these emperors used to have and then we complain and say oh I don't have enough and as I know myself is included we throw more than possibly what could fulfill the needs of so many so there is a relationship between our status as a human being because we are not fulfilling our role as a custodian of this earth and that's why our brothers and sisters are drowning in Pakistan one third our country is underwater and again we say oh let's do دعاء دعاء is good but also action is as important as دعاء action for your own self in here but action in relation to our brothers in Afghanistan in Pakistan the second part is of my talk is that what do we need to do I feel that we have lost our innovation and step as Muslims as well as human beings I was so what you call almost shocked but positively shocked in Pakistan in Afghanistan sorry that they have developed a way to preserve grapes in a mud container that preserve it and you could actually sell it outside of season it actually says many many months from mud the grapes are there and in in closed in a mud and you actually go in the street and you buy this in closed mud and you break it and the grapes are there still fresh and juicy just to think about the ingenuity of human beings did not have to use fridges did not did not need to use frayon which actually goes into the atmosphere and collapses our ozone layer that protects they did not have to have plastics every place where not only that the plastic itself is seeping into the water is causing cancer they use the material that were present to actually create something that is today we say organic is organic healthy and sustainable because you still can use the mud again you bolt with water and you put it in there the question for us we think we're advanced and the question what is the measure of advancement if the measure of advancement is the cheapest that you could put something together and put it out that's not advancement that's just like the the sure sign of compounded ignorance simple ignorance to say I don't know compounded ignorance is to do something over over again based on the wrong assumption and think that you are doing something good so the question is where is our real innovation where are our real project so for example it's taken the hadith of the prophet peace be upon him of planting a seed how come we don't have Muslims adopting areas to actually plant trees as a project because again deforestation is taking place every day an area as large as main is being burned and slashed so we could have agriculture agribusiness being set up if people are destroying section then you if you accept the responsibility again I accept the responsibility you accept the responsibility you say you accept the responsibility if they're destroying then where is our effort to prevent this from taking place by adopting and planting so let's take talk to department of forestry in here talk to other places adopt an area where you could actually go in the whatever season it is and plant a thousand trees two thousand three three thousand I don't know if you saw yesterday the CEO of Patagonia right have transferred all his company into a trust and the trust is only to preserve the earth for me that is something that should be celebrated should be replicated it should be imitated rather than imitating the selfies or the nefs as we see it visionary knowing that we are all on the same boat so he decided to save the boat not to actually just be on the top to take the pictures and be in a suntan on top of the boat so where is our project from that hadith for our kids for us to adopt to take areas that we want to again the trees are some of the most magnificent creations on this earth they give you fruit they give you the shade they give you the oxygen that you breathe have you ever stood by the tree and realized that your oxygen is directly connected to the tree that you're standing next to it just as a moment of reflection and in the evening they also take care of you because they take the CEO out of this earth the tree is in creation right so when we contemplate Allah's creation what is it that we contemplate other than understanding that relationship and at the end of the day you're from the earth so there is this what you call metaphysical understanding of the relationship of the human being as a Khalifa and it's coming from the earth so where are these projects so the tree is a project for those who are in science for those who are experimenting how come we can't find a replacement for the disaster that's called plastic again I am not a scientist myself I'm in historian but where is our replacement anyone that could find a replacement to this calamity really would be the genius of not the century but the age yesterday there was a whole beach area in south America that the whole beach and the front was covered with plastic coming from the ocean there's areas in the ocean that are dead zones because of plastic and every one of us that drinking water we're drinking water that has plastic because the plastic is seeping to our drinking water if a mother is suckling her baby her baby is being suckled with the byproducts of plastic today what more calamities that gets us to energize ourselves to be creative innovative to find weight I believe that God has put us in this earth to do actually find things that will address our human needs why? because God would not have appointed us in this earth without always providing for us but we have to use our mind on our creativity if we lean to the world and we lean too easy then definitely we're leading to the destruction so for those who are looking for projects for science to explore this is where we need to be you know ahead of ourselves as Muslims if you believe that you are خليفة الله في الأرض then get up and take your خلافة seriously I know that people think of خلافة as a sword and they think it's just like going around the head they're just like completely rudimentary misunderstanding of the خلافة and today we're just seeing the world is just being at the seam in front of our eyes to the level that our water is polluted that we drink our air is polluted our food is polluted and it's a calamity that we need to address it so this is where where the solution where the replacement because it's not enough to say well Masha'Allah we had Ibn Sina الحمد الله we had Ibn Sina they had their time oh we have الفرابي Masha'Allah الخوارزم he started what you call the algorithm Masha'Allah الحمد لله we have we have we have it becomes what you call we're drunken on history but we're going in to do for the future the person who is really as a Muslim's plan as if they're living forever right knowing that they're you're going to die but you plan and you work as if you're living forever it becomes that we look back as a way for us to stop thinking about today and the future that's a person who is what you call drunken in their mind of having the glory passed but forgetting the destruction that is unfolding in front of us so get up let's do the work let's let's make our own transformation and changes that are needed because time is not on our side the seas need to be planted the changes need to be to be had innovations is there right and that's our responsibility to be when we think of facade we always think only in rudimentary human beings do engage in facade on a personal level but that's what we need is water is the collective facade the collective facade is destroying the the progeny and the agricultural production that is real facade and then the result again is one third of a country is completely underwater and God knows which other countries are just because as we see that the rate of destruction is accelerating because we are in an accelerated rate some of these ice caps that are melting is going to increase sea level by about 30 to 32 centimeters that is you just can't imagine an addition of 30 all the coastal areas Fiji Island Malaysia some parts of the coastal areas in the Philippines some of the coastal areas here in California you take Highway 1 if you go just down Pacifica it's already the coastal area is collapsing there's a whole section Pacifica just down the street you don't need to go far it's already locked closed because the houses have fell down as a result of this complete transformation so if you're then you need to take your responsibility seriously it's not a matter of just what you call recite in the Quran and just go on back and say well you know we had a razi that's not sufficient the person that you're waiting for is you you need just to put your mind into it and it is within our capacity إنهو بالهودة ودين الحق وضهيره وعلى الدين كله ولو كاره المشركون The Prophet SAW said that the human beings are partners in food in drink and in energy and these are at the core of our collective survival food water and energy and therefore it's our obligation collectively to make sure that we protect, preserve access to water and ways for people to have water pure clean water to have food because increasingly with the food table is going to be under duress for a variety of reasons again the collapse of the beehives are a harbinger of what might be confrontness and also to find ways for energy which also includes alternative energy so my advice for you to me and to you is that the end of time is coming is as certain as it is but it's not your business to try to figure out when as far as we concerned it happened at the moment that we came to earth what Allah asks you is to be a person of planting developing and improving that which you are a custodian we are custodians of this earth and if your neighbor is digging doesn't mean that you sit down and you take selfies of it it means that you need to go and fix your side and you are not actually co-participant in whatever calamity that is befallen at least to give Allah says يعني I have excuse that I did my part and if we collectively do our part I do believe that we could make a better world until Allah سبحانه وتعالى decides that this is the end of the world أقول قولي هذا أستغفر الله لي ولكم أستغفروا إن الله ملاك يصلون على النبي يا يولدين آمن وصلوا عليه وسلي موت السليمة وسلي على سيدنا محمد وعلى آل سيدنا محمد كما صليت على سيدنا أبراهيم وعلى آل سيدنا أبراهيم في العالمين إنك حميد المجيد اللهم إني داعن فأمنوا اللهم اهدنا في من هديت وعافنا في من عافيت وتولنا في من توليت وبارك لنا فيما أطيت وقنا وصرف عننا بالخير شر ما قضيت فإنك تقدي بالخير ولا يقدع عليك وإنه لا يذل من وليت تبارك تربنا وتعاليت ربنا ردنا الإسلام ردنا جميلة ربنا ردنا الإسلام ردنا جميلة اللهم يمقلب القلوب تبت قلوبنا على طاعتك اللهم أرنى الحق وزقت اتباع وأرنى الباطلة باطلا وزقت الشناب يا رب العالمين اللهم رحم المسلمين اللهم خفف عنهم اللهم خفف عنهم يا رب العالمين اللهم إنا مغلوبون فانصرنا وأخرد عوانا الحمد لله رب العالمين وأقم الصلاة إن الصلاة تتنهى عن الفحشاء والمنكرة البغي يعذكم لعلكم تذكرون


Good morning folks. Steve Rhodes coming to you live from the shores of Delray Beach, Florida. This is your Lebanon update and we've got a mixed bag out there that mix goes like this. You've got the Dow up 137, the transport's up 44, New York Stock exchange up 17. The other U.S. indices that we track trading the downside S&Ps off seven points, a little more than one tenth of a percent, six tenths for the Nasdaq 100, 114 points there, percent for the Russell, a five point move in the semis are off two and three tenths per cent, 110 points to the downside. Gold's off six bucks, silver's off 18 pennies in the U.S. dollar index of five cents. You've got lights recruit up 83 cents, natural gas up a nickel, 30 or Treasury up 13 ticks. And let's try to figure out what all that means by looking at that nine panel. Mark an update chart, upper left hand corner, the ES spending, we just got a consolidation with insiders daily profile. That's between the range of 51, 67 in support, 52, 57 for resistance. We're keeping our eye on that spot. Follow till next. Why? It's approaching the 50 day exponential moving average. The 50 days at 14, price at 1409. The close below 14 would suggest a further rally in the ES mini with price targeting the 52, 57 level out there. The NQ still trading with inside its bearish structured daily profile. That so far has really proven to be nothing more than a counter trend move to the downside and that's because price found support at the center of that bearish structured profile to 18026. If we take a look at the U.S. dollar index, it's on the move. It's trading above the top of its daily profile. It's trading above the center right now of its bowler structured weekly profile. That's suggesting that the U.S. dollar index may want to go target the 10419 level. If it does that, we're likely to see the gold future contract move back to the 2109 area. That's the bottom of its bearish structured daily profile. Silver did form a new profile this morning, resistance up to 2551, support down to 2436. In the case of lights we accrued, it's got an A to B equal CD to the upside. It's going to go target that 1.272 expansion. That's in the 8418 level. The only thing that would generate a top out here would be a bearish reversal candle and then we'd see some type of Gartley's cell pattern. Natural gas is on the move this morning. The key level here for natural gas we are looking at the May contract is at the 1.922 level. If natural gas can, and it does have a buy the D point pattern, that buy the D point pattern formed back on February 16th. It reconfirmed that on March the 14th out there. Now the key is can price get inside resistance above resistance, the bottom of that profile 1.922. Finally, the 30 year treasury got back tested its swing point from back into February and today it's rejecting that bubble 1809. Could be a signal that the U.S. Treasures are getting ready to rally. Folks, stay tuned for the Traitor Sent Show. If you're out to start your Tuesday, please have a terrific one. Thanks for joining us full of court speaking with you again soon. Take care.
