mammalian embryology, cleavage and blastolation, first the contents, cleavage, compaction, modulation, totipotent and polyurepotent cells, blastola and the diagrammatic representation of the blastolation process. So first the cleavage. Students, let me just start from the fertilized egg of mammals. If we talk about the fertilized egg of mammals, the mammals we are specifically discussing here are the placental mammals. The egg of the placental mammal is the smallest one. The smallest egg of the animal is the placental mammal. The yolk is present in it as it is not present. So because of which all the cell divisions will be holobelastic. That is, it will completely divide the cells in two. Because of the yolk, there will be no half or restriction because of the yolk. So all the cell division in mammals, they are the holobelastic cleavage. Or holobelastic cleavage is present in it. So initially, the pattern of cell division, if we look at it, it is very, very slow. When the embryos of mammals start dividing, the cell division of mammals is very slow. Number one. And the second important thing is that the pattern of cell division is not the one that we see in the rest of the embryos. In this, that is, we will find a special kind of unique feature. First of all, that the cleavage started, the cell division started, it is very slow. Number two. The pattern of the cleavage is different from the rest of the animals. How? The first division will be longitudinal or meridinial, which is said to be divided in one cell, two cells from the top to the bottom. Two bolastromers will be formed. Now the second cleavage will be divided in two cells differently. One cell will be divided vertically again and one will be divided horizontally. So in this way, the division pattern of the two cells will be different. So that's why we call it rotational cleavage. This type of cleavage is called the rotational cleavage. Second one. The pattern of cleavage is different from the rotational cleavage. Along with that, one more important thing is that the cells are not dividing synchronously. Synchronous means they are not dividing together. Some cells are first dividing, some are dividing later. That is why we do not get two cells, four cells, eight cells, sixteen cells. In fact, at some time we can get a stage with the order number. It is possible that instead of four or eight cells, we can get five cells for some time. Or we can get a stage with four or seven cells. They are divided in three cells, one cell is dividing and the other is slowly dividing. So in this way, since the cell division is not regular or synchronous, some cells are first dividing and some will divide later. That is why we do not get the number of two, four, eight, sixteen, thirty-two. The third important thing is that when the cell division is in the rest of the animals, the messenger RNA comes from the mother for protein synthesis at that time. That is, the egg comes from the first messenger RNA. And during the cell division, the messenger RNA makes proteins. This is not the case in mammals. The egg of the mammal does not come from the mother to the messenger RNA. In fact, when it is necessary, it makes its messenger RNA and starts the cell division. That is why in the case of mammals, the maternal effect will be less. That is, there is no maternal dominance, but the cell will utilize its machinery as its own and start the cell division. Here if we look diagramtically, as I said, after two cell stages, one cell will divide in one way. If one cell is dividing horizontally, then the other cell will be dividing vertically. As you can see here, the division of this cell is like this. Whereas the other cell is dividing vertically. Or the opposite can be that the one cell is dividing vertically and the lower cell is dividing horizontally. In both cases, what we will say is that this is rotational cleavage. After that, if we look further, then again, the pattern of the cell division can be any way. In any way, the cells can divide themselves and form any form. This is why this pattern is called the rotational cleavage. This rotational cleavage is typically found in mammals. Cleavage, as soon as these cells are dividing, then when the cells will be up to eight cells, that is, two cells, four cells, and then eight cells, the cells in the eight cell stage are not in a closely compact form, but they are loosely arranged. As soon as the eight cell stage comes, the cells will release specific proteins. And the specific protein will become tightly connected to each other. This is called the compaction, which we will call compaction. Then, after the eight cell stage, the next stage is the sixteen cell stage. We will divide the eight cell stage and make sixteen cells. The sixteen cell stage is a solid cell. The cell is in the form of a solid wall. We will name this wall of cells as Morula. We will get two types of cells in Morula. Some of those cells are called inner cell mass. And the cells on the sides are called the trophoblast. The embryonic cells that are actually going to be animals are going to be made out of the inner cell mass. The trophoblast will be made out of the layer of the membrane. The actual thing is the inner cell mass. When the embryo was on the eight cell stage, it was made out of the eight to sixteen cell stage. Some of the sixteen cells are made out of the inner cell mass and some are made out of the trophoblast. So, the cells on the eight cell stage can be made out of the ICM and the trophoblast. So, the cells on the eight cell stage, the blastomeres, they can be made out of either of the two, that's why they are called the totipotent cells. Whereas, the cells on the inner cell mass, the cells on the inner cell mass can be made out of different embryonic layers. So, the cells on the inner cell mass are called pluripotent. The cells on the eight cell stage are called totipotent. Whereas, the cells on the inner cell mass are actually pluripotent cells. So, the cells on the sixteen cell stage, the cells on the inner cell mass and the trophoblast, they are compactly arranged. Now, the trophoblast cells will secrete some material. They will release the material because of which a fluid filled cavity is created in between. And that cavity is called the blasto-seal. So, the blasto-seal will be produced and all the cells will line the blasto-seal. So, the trophoblast cells are in the inner cell mass and the trophoblast cells are in the trophoblast cells. Here, you can see the overall diagram. This is the four cell stage. After the four cell stage, we have eight cell stages. The cells are compact. The cells on the four cell stage are not compact. What is this here? It is a compaction. Now, if we look at the further diagram, then the marula is also a compact form. After that, if we look at the gourd, the cells in between are in the inner cell mass. This is in the inner cell mass and the green cells in the side are basically the trophoblast cells. The trophoderms are called trophoblast cells. In the further step, the trophoblast cells will release some kind of material which will make the blasto-seal. And the cells will line all the other cells. The blasto-seal will be placed on the embryo stage.


All right, Coach, on the first just an overstatement, thoughts on the match? It sucked. We didn't like it much. Take us through, obviously, the first set they came out with. Second set was kind of there for the taking for both teams. OK, take us through just kind of both teams, kind of, you know, trade back and forth, trading points. Take us through that where you can even up the match. Oh, we would try it really hard to do that. I don't know what you mean.  That's true. They played a really great match. Yes, it was once with both Aaron and Rebecca. Obviously, it's your third set at the NCAAs. You know, the seniors, obviously, you've had a great career. I was kind of talking about, you know, obviously, disappointed that you didn't have the answers to talk about the career you've had and ran off making. OK, well, I guess, you know, every year we've made it, it's been a completely different story. Making it to the lead eight one year, we made it round of 32. And then this year, even though, like, it may not end the exact same way, you're not going to go to the lead eight every year, there's still great things to look back. And I'm just really proud of where we came this year. I just think we're a really talented team. And I think at different points in our season, we've shown that and just like with different competition. But I mean, this time just didn't work out. Yeah. And I think we just want to talk a little bit about, you know, obviously, you know, second, third sets, you know, you're in at both times. Just talk about, you know, those sets. And you know, the third set, you were down big and they were making one and you get close. I'm just talking about, you know, being in both those sets but ultimately following. I guess it, you know, at least putting in the effort a little bit towards the end of push.  I think we really started playing our game towards the end of all the sets and we were really pushing through. And it's good to see that and just like know what we can do. And we were learning as the match was going on and trying to make adjustments. I think that shoot, like shown, and the end of the third set, couldn't quite, you know, make it happen this time. But hopefully next season, if the team sees them, they'll, you know, have a little bit more experience playing a team like that. And they played a really good match and there was nothing to be ashamed of. All right, great. Thank you very much.


Hello! I thought I'd make a video. I've been going to haunt every single day and I get asked a lot by both viewers, people that work at Wonderland, where my content is and how come I'm not uploading a lot. And truthfully, I don't really know the answer myself. I mean, I know the answer, but I don't know how to approach the answer, to be honest. Making content for Amusement Insiders has been extremely difficult for me for several reasons, and I'm going to try and be super transparent in this video, as transparent as I possibly can be. I'm going to try and be super open because I don't know how to fix it. I don't know where to start. I don't know how to just become my own person, which is going to, I guess, be a common theme of this video. And if anyone watching this has any advice, honestly, I'm seeking it. Anyone who hangs out with me and my friends and all that can probably vouch. I'm spiraling really hard. I don't know what to do for the channel. I don't know what to do for myself. I don't know how to be who I need to be, to be a stronger person. And yeah, I mean, I don't know where to start. I guess it's going to be a really long video, and I apologize. And if you make it through the whole video, thank you. I really appreciate that. But I guess you're about to get to know the full real me. I've made a video before, the hardest video I've ever had to make, I think, is what I titled it. And it talked a lot about my past and how I didn't really have any friends in school because of several reasons. One, because I lost my dad at a really important age is what my therapist used to tell me and how it would greatly impact me. And maybe that's what I'm experiencing right now. But I shut down and I became mute. And I let people bully me and step on me. And I sat there and I took it. And it just led to a really horrible experience of one having no friends to just being kind of like the mockery because I sat there and took it, it almost made it more interesting for people to bully me. But that kind of like leads me to this channel. This channel blew up because of one simple fact. I flew my drone at the right time. And I got a track segment for Yukon Striker before it was announced. The channel blew up, people really liked how I did my videos. And I really appreciate that. It means a lot. Honestly, you guys have no idea of the confidence boost you gave me at the right time. I was laid off from a very significant and important career in my life, 10 plus years at that career. And I was suddenly laid off. And the channel started right then and there.  I was drinking substances to just make myself go to sleep. And I stopped. I was able to crawl out of that hole. And it was all because of amusement insiders. And then I started meeting people. And it was awesome. And then my videos started, you know, focusing on Yukon Striker's construction before we kind of knew things. And the giga topic became like a big thing. And I remember this was this was a really difficult time for me. And anyone who was in my discord server and a friend of mine can vouch. It was really, really difficult. I was bullied a lot. And it brought back a lot of memories. And you know what, I understand some of the bullying. I understand, you know, making innocent jokes about it. That I totally get. My friends would do it. But there were people who actively bullied me over it and loved it, like tagged me in posts. We're writing giga with water bottles on the cement and the concrete at Wonderland and taking pictures with them all posing in front of it. And I remember there was one day that I broke down and discord like significantly broke down because bullying is bullying. And we all do it. There's not one person that can sit here and say they've never partake in some sort of bullying. But like, it just became a lot. And I remember I broke down and there's there were people that were trivial to my well-being at that point. A person named America and our discord server Eastern Jaden coblast, all these people, they were trivial to keeping me up. And and Craig, too, like and Craig became a huge part of the channel in terms of getting me used to being around people, interacting with people. Because again, I was going through a lot. I'm not used to human connection like truthfully. And just from there, it was a really difficult time. I almost deleted my channel back then. Not a lot of people know that. I think I discussed that in my previous video, but people in my discord channel con vouch that there were a couple of times when the bullying was going on that I almost deleted my channel. And a big part of that is I am really overly sensitive, like significantly oversensitive. This is going to be another topic of discussion. So this is like part one, the past part two is going to be like the current fame and I'm not referring to my fame. I'm referring to like kind of like the group's fame. But just the past was a lot. It kind of broke my trust. I developed a lot of hatred towards the community, not fairly, but not unfairly either in my opinion. It just every time someone came out to meet me, it was almost like in my head, I was questioning like, are they like a friend or foe? Like that was always a thing. And that became like a constant negative thing in my head where I viewed people as friend or foe, which led to a lot of problems in itself. But again, I do view that as fairly and unfairly. That's a common thing I like to discuss with my opinions and my viewpoints on things. That's about as uncomplicated as possible that I could discuss my past. Now, when it comes to like the current situation, and again, I'm not blaming anyone for anything at all. Like this is no one's fault. There's no control over what's going on right now. But obviously, some of you may know like TikTok has become a really big thing. And our friend group has become very known at Canada's Wonderland for several reasons. And a lot of people like us and a lot of people don't like us. And I'm not someone that can handle the latter. I'm not very good at handling not a lot of people liking us. And I mean, it's not my place to reveal things, but I had to be strong for someone really important to me in my life. Really strong.  This person is so important to me more than they'll ever know or anyone will ever know. But this is someone that I've looked up to for a very long time. But unfortunately, what I didn't realize was because of this, it was taking a significant toll on me. Walking through the park, a lot of people see only the good side of being, I guess, renowned or somewhat famous at a specific place. Again, this was only at Canada's Wonderland. This isn't famous. This is famous at a very small audience location.  There were times we were literally hiding behind swings of the century. There are times we would get cornered by like 30 people. Times people would scream at us.  And people just assumed that you owe them everything because you post stuff on social media. And that's a really deep thing because I can see both sides. I truthfully see both sides. When you are on social media, you do owe your audience a certain extent. But you also don't owe them everything. And some of these teenagers, I'm going to use the word teenagers a lot, because there's zero problems with adults and the young kids, like never any problems with the young kids or adults. And to be honest, hardly any problems with the girls too. This is really limited to male teenage boys truthfully. Things would get really ugly. There were a couple of situations where I genuinely was like fearful of things to happen or things to come because of actions that were happening. Again, I'm trying not to be open about too much because I don't want anyone feeling targeted or upset with this video. I'm just trying to explain where I've gone. And it was a really hard year, a really hard year. The FAA other word that is meant for gay people or LGBTQ people was called it three times this season. And while most of my friends are straight and they may not understand, you know, to them, they're like, Oh, whatever, being the person in the group that that word targets being the person in the group who couldn't even go to school without being called that word and beat up, pushed, bullied, literally avoiding certain hallways. Because of that word, that was probably the moment I really started to not be able to handle TikTok and it's the consequences that came with it. I started to clue in that it was a me thing that I wasn't able to be a part of that I, I could not handle what came with being on TikTok. And I remember it was a really hard feeling. I remember there was someone in our group that I ended up talking to a lot about this, because it was weighing really heavy on me. And it was a really difficult place to be in when you're kind of viewed as the rock of the group, the person that people would go to for advice or to be kind of like the shield to negativity, and these things because I do snap. I am that person that like when I am cornered, I will come out swinging now. And honestly, like, it would feel good in the moment to defend my friends and people. But afterwards, it was draining.  It was really weighing on my ability. And I remember this is around the time that content like this year 2022 that content really slipped. And it was so much easier to just as someone going through depression to post a video that took 30 seconds to make on TikTok without any my face or my voice. Then it was to sit down and get myself out of bed and film and record and edit and be super professional for these videos. Even making this video right now, like I was supposed to record it in the morning. It's now like 12pm and I'm recording it now. But like truthfully, I like, I don't know, like TikTok, I like to view it as ruined a lot. It made my place I would love to go to every day almost like on at house. Like truthfully, best way to describe it. My friend group, they can all attest to this anytime we heard like, or like, oh my god, it's him. Like any like sudden movement or sudden sound of like excitement, like it triggered, it was triggered me so much like I would flinch.  Sometimes people would purposely start recording and, you know, trying to get Egas on to get a reaction to post on TikTok. And a lot of us in our friend group, we all have like really professional jobs, you know, we're in our careers. So like, you have to be so careful of everything that's posted of everything that's out there. It's scary, like it's really scary, like one person in the friend group slips up, you're all dragged down with it. And, you know, some people don't understand that. And I think that's one of the hurtful things is trying to express your opinions on why you're not able to handle something and, you know, a lot of people understanding it, but not everyone understanding it. Again, I'm not going to go too far into details, but it was a really hard year, like a really hard year for me, having to be the rock while being the most emotionally unstable person probably in the friend group. That's difficult, like really difficult. Remember there were days like I was giving friends advice, and I'd go home and I'd be like, you're the last person that should be giving this advice. You can barely get up in the morning and you're trying to tell someone else to get up in the morning. You can barely walk through Canada's wonderland, like without flinching, without like fearing of what's going to get posted, and you're trying to talk someone else into staying online. You're afraid of people, but you're coaching someone into how to take photos with their fans. Like, there was a lot of draining aspects to 2022, like a lot. Truthfully, like, I think that's like the hardest thing I'm going through right now is having feelings so unsafe in my safe place. Even yesterday, we hung out in a smaller group to kind of just like the talks. And there were still moments, you know, like where it just, you know, just wasn't the same. And that's only like a part of it. And I think this next topic, every content creator is going to really resonate with, I think this is just like a common problem. But amusement insiders, I cover Canada's wonderland.  I'm, I'll use Halloween Haunt as an example. The foods department I have no care for. That video I do not regret whatsoever. This, this is this whole thing I'm about to talk about is not about the foods department. They deserved to be called out. I'll use Halloween Haunt as an example. When I first went to Halloween Haunt on opening day, truthfully, it was terrible. The park wasn't ready. The houses were extremely understaffed. None of the music and speakers worked for like the Empire Disco for the shows. And for a park that makes hundreds of million dollars a season. And when I say a season, I'm talking about like winter, fall, spring, summer, like this is a multi hundred million dollar business. I would even call it a billion dollar business. And they don't have their stuff together. Like, it was bad. But I remembered, I can't make that video. And I think the biggest problem that I found myself in is I was watching all these other content creators kind of being like, oh, Haunt, the season is so amazing. It's so great. And everyone, you know, like, and I understand that because I used to be that too, where you just wanted to be super positive and only say the positive and things. But at the end of the day, that's lying to your audience. Haunt was not great. It's opening weekend. It was not. There was nothing great about it. Every other Haunt attraction out there was significantly better. But I'm glad I didn't make my video and I'll discuss that in a second. But what I'm trying to get at is if I had posted that video, I would have burned more bridges. Would have burned more bridges. People would have viewed me as being negative.  Now you hate Haunt. So I literally, I remember talking to my friend group and I was like, I can't post. I can't talk about Haunt. I'm just not going to post about Haunt. I don't want to upset anyone. So we went the next weekend and a lot of the things that I didn't like were improved upon. So I remember being like, okay, you know what? I'm just never going to make a review about Haunt or any event on its opening weekend, which I think is a very fair thing. And I really appreciate that I didn't post the video. So that's just showing a struggle of a content creator, but it continues. So now I wanted to create a video of my favorite haunted houses ranked or my favorite scare zones ranked at Canada's Wonderland. I really wanted to do that. But I sat there and I was like, I remember in 2019 when I did a similar video, I upset scare actors for giving an honest review of each house at Canada's Wonderland. And this is one of those fair and unfair moments because as a content creator, it's super fair that I make a video like that, especially being amusement insiders. And my job is to do everything on Canada's Wonderland. But the unfair part of it is the people. They have a right to feel upset with the content that I'm creating. If you're a scare actor and you're in a certain scare zone or haunted house and I'm sitting there and I'm like, well, it's not that great or this could be improved and all that, of course, you're going to be upset. If I saw a video ranking the coaster YouTubers of Canada's Wonderland and someone was critiquing me, I would be upset. It would hurt me no matter how strong I pretend to be on social media, no matter how strong I pretend to be like it hurts. It hurts everyone. Everyone's getting hurt every day. And that's the biggest struggle that I'm finding myself in right now. Not being able to create content without upsetting someone, I truthfully don't feel comfortable posting content if I know it's going to hurt someone. Like truthfully. I think I've been hurt so much in the last couple years that I'm like overly analyzing stuff now. And I don't know how to handle it. I don't know how to feel comfortable uploading a video that might upset someone. And any other content creators out there, like any advice would be like greatly appreciated because, you know, some friends are like, well, that's just what comes with being a YouTuber. But I don't like that. I don't like walking up to a ride or a haunted house or, you know, getting a message every time I see those DMs. I remember, oh my goodness, this is like, if any of you remember me at the beginning of the season when Tundra opened and Wonderland had changed its policy out of nowhere about filming in the theater. And in the moment, you know, because I had never experienced that before, I thought it was just miscommunication and I didn't understand why I was being told I can't film. And I threw a tantrum in the moment, like, you know, a very human thing to do. So the fair thing for my end, well, I wouldn't even say this is a fair unfair thing. This was just a tantrum. This was an unfair unfair thing. I threw a tantrum. And then people reached out to me expressing, you know, hurt people in the department explaining why.  You just pulled a Karen. Like, I literally just hurt someone because I didn't think about the other side of it. I literally put myself first. And I just thought about my needs in that moment.  I remember the minute it was explained to me and I saw their side, you know, I tried to correct it, I posted an apology.  So you're like, I have to record this to the people that aren't coming this season or to the people that won't get to see it. And you forget that there's humans on the other side of that interaction. And it's been a really big learning process for me in 2022. And to be honest, it's been really easy. And I think that's why I'm struggling so much right now is it's like I hit a wall.  I really don't know what to do content wise. I don't know if I just need thicker skin. I know I'm overly sensitive, like significantly oversensitive. You know, I have to get over this like abandonment thing, like I always feel abandoned by friends. Yeah, I don't know. I'm fiddling now. So I guess this is where I end the video because I don't know what else to talk about. I will make content. Just don't know how right now. I don't know where to start. If you watch this long, honestly, I really do appreciate you guys. You have no understanding of how important this channel has been to my mental state. Like obviously it's affecting it in a negative way, but this channel did save my life when I lost my career. And it is something I look forward to and there are people that I know that really like my content and look forward to me posting and I'm letting you guys down right now. But I guess the important message I could give you is if you're struggling mentally, there are a lot of other people struggling mentally with you too. It's a really hard time right now and you'll get through it. There's always battles and you're always going to get through it. You just really got to fight and it's worth it. It's worth it. Thanks so much guys. See you in the next video. Bye.


This is something I keep getting asked all the time is people are always asking me what podcast Do I listen to and I don't listen believe it or not I don't listen to ourselves that often unless I said something really stupid the day before and I'm like I want to hear How bad it is right? I know damage control right? Yeah, or if we do something kind of edgy I kind of want to see like how how it's received and how we delivered it So that but if I'm not listening to or critiquing but we get all I hate listening to you guys Yeah, too much. I do I get tired of hearing myself.  He's got some incredible.  There's something in a second, but here. This is something really important I already did. Can you not do it? I want I want I need to give send out a message to our listeners right now Well, it's very important message Because our ultimate we're gonna write it in the sand because we're like behind one of those like Airplanes that write it in the clouds. No, but that's a it's I'm glad you went there What we need to what we What our main goal here is will you is to spread? You know me the word various of fitness and health We want to make at the end of the day if we can make more people Healthy and fit we're happy. That's all we want to do but we need your help This is what this is what we're gonna ask you to do. This is what we're gonna ask you to do We need your help. Okay, take a friend Yeah, I have a friend take up you got a friend. Yeah, you're looking at him. You're like look man No, it's a girl whatever. Yeah, you're unhealthy or you're fat or you need to move more or you need more strength or Like you like I want to help you out.  That's like icing on the cake free So you just why don't you ask yourself sometimes you have to ask yourself tough questions Hmm. Are you a good friend or not? Wow?  That's what you're gonna do. Listen. I care about people. You're gonna go to mind pump media comm you're gonna buy your friend the maps Super bundle by the way. Hmm. Sometimes you have to be your own friend I so maybe get yourself one to love yourself. So get my super bundle for you Map super bundle for your friend. That's two programs for two amazing people. We love you I just got two hugs mind pump media comm You want to pump your body and expand your mind. There's only one place to go Might pop might pop with your hosts Salda Stefano Adam Schaefer and Justin Andrews Whose idea was it to be inebriated with this episode? I don't I think our forum You know we a lot of people have been talking about no jet. No Adam. It was your idea. Oh was okay.  It was like, you know Yeah, there he is. Oh turn him up.  Listen Justin. Yeah, just be clear here.  He's doing the fat stuff. Yeah, I like it listen because you like them thick That's why I have no complex at all.      It's just not real that this whole this is what I know is that from all the years that we've been in fitness You see like there's this trend right now of and it falls right in line aligned with like just normal America too Not even just fitness just this, you know overly sensitive And we're so care and I get it because 30 years 20 30 years ago.   Let me tell you something even though you call me fat. I still love you 30 30 30 years ago Go fast. I remember why I stopped drinking I Gotta tell you guys I have another street steam room story Is it continued from no no this morning? Is it a new character that's involved? It is it is a new character that I have not seen before okay who Came in this morning.  Yes, okay So you've seen him since the last I see him and there's him now Actually work out or does he just steam?   You know I mean whatever you showed him your belly. That's me I walk by and I'm like yeah Feet are up in the air in his hands. It'd be funny.   I need to find a way nipples on my stomach I need to find a way to just submit bro. He's got years on you man That's I mean just think where you'll be at when you imagine if I did fight him and you ask There's some like kung fu master.   Anyway, so I'm in the law I'm in the steam room today and an old You know white dude comes in old old regular dude comes in The immediately the first thing I notice is not everybody walks in the steam room naked Most people were a towel.  So it's not like you're undeniable.  Yeah So like you're going through Siberia a plume now.  Okay, so much a mushroom.   It's not fog. It's Pups.   It was great pubes. Yeah, so he comes in and he's weird. He's a little bit weird I can sense he's not a hundred percent normal white guy white guy old guy Probably 70 like he's that old right? Okay, cuz he's a little saggy in the in the liver spots on the head He was actually kind of fit which I was for a second. I was like I want to tell this guy's kind of fit You know I mean while he's naked mm-hmm, but that's why I didn't yeah That's why I didn't do it. Yeah, and because it was weird. Yeah, cuz you walk.  Listen. Whatever you do in the gym is working Hundred percent come on really there's very flattering and there's nothing wrong with another man compliment. I do this all the time I just I wait till their clothes. Yeah, well cuz you don't want to be just I got caught in a moment This is a real story, right? So I was like I'll put my story on hold Don't worry.  Yeah So this guy was asking me and I didn't know he was gay or anything. You know, no big deal whatever One of one of my other friends clients and like so he saw me doing like these techniques with one of my clients And so we go into locker room. So you're using his walking cane No, no, no, no the cane like, you know the one that curls back on the back the question mark Yeah, yeah, and then you do the cane.  Yeah, no old man No, I knew exactly what so when I come into the locker room, right?  Hey, what are you doing with that?  You're doing something with the king I had it with me and he's like, oh, and so I started kind of showing him stuff with the cane He's but I forgot he was butt naked Wait a second here Hold on let's let's get something clear on this story Yeah, you might have you might have been you're in the restroom I done this sometimes you're not the best at telling stories I just want to make sure this is clear forever. I'm including myself. Okay, so you walk into a rest room Yeah, you walk into a restroom locker room locker room, right? Yes locker into the locker room Yeah, totally normal with the with the cane carrying your trainer tool. Totally normal By the way by the way could 100% be interpret looked at if you looked at and didn't know what it was Yeah, it looks like a sex life So you walk in with you would think that with this trainer tool that kind of looks like a sex toy over your shoulder, right?  Yeah, and you Normal you decide that this is a good time to apply your trainer knowledge on this guy with potentially selling him I'm curious and he was asking me about it. What am I supposed to do? Did you do anything like any quadruped moves or anything? I'm like showing him.  He looks back at this. He's like, oh, that's interesting Kind of moving his way through it, you know, he's like, oh, that's good. That's great Oh, that feels great. And then I all of a sudden I got like it dawned on me right then then it was like, oh No, and he was just like, oh, yeah. Oh, yeah, and I was like, oh What am I doing?  I totally could have had That was my Think just the conversation starter was already thrown it at you naked Naked I walk around naked in the locker room. I think that's fine and normal.  So yeah old guy walks in plume of pubes plume of gray pubes Just staring at you. Yeah in my face walks in and he's kind of weird I can tell you ever look at a somebody like you're not all there. You're not a hundred percent Yeah, that's him. So he's kind of making these weird mouth noises like Like that's literally what he's doing in there.    You don't want yeast infection on your body or organisms Or whatever. Yeah, but he's just naked.  No shoes. No I mean no flip-flops nothing just sitting down bodge exposed just goes over to the little spray water thing and sprays Only the plume Just the blue he's spraying his plume just the plume area. No, just the pubes like he's misting it himself Misting it like a bush like he's trying to like he's soaking water it He's just soaking it like it's a chiapet like it's like he's watering himself. He does that.  Anyway, he does that.   I'm like, I'm literally this is exactly what I'm thinking my head is like I can't wait to talk about this of my pump So I don't want to stop him, but I had to say something so I he's spraying his seeds So I look at him and he kind of looked at me while he's doing this and I go wow No, he looked at you are he's doing that he looked up and we caught we caught each other's face I contact and I went that's awkward. I went wow. Yeah, and then he just kept doing what he was doing I don't know what else to say. I like I don't know what I'm gonna say. Wow So so that was that was this morning in the steam room at a club sport it continues It continues.  Yeah, so far. We've got naked a naked yoga guy We've got my my dude that does the the steam room competition the hairy Persian, which I still haven't had Any real Altercations with and now we have plume at pubes plume pews Those are the four characters.

Yeah, it's gone wild first It's a plan words. All right. Hey, what could I use instead of discriminative?  Like how does that work? What's going on like for that to happen? We're I think sometimes you I'm just I'm hustle through it Well, I have a lazy mouth. That's what I think that's that's a very good explanation to that That's a lazy man. Like like you start talking I Think it's the evolution of how we speak so most people make fun of me But I think I think yeah, you all need to get there I that's what and I think that's why it's weird for you guys when you hear it because you're just like I didn't understand that language. I think what happens is we speak words whereas you let the words tumble out You already assume we know it's in your head because I'm already on to the next six You know I'm saying I think that's what's going on. All right girls gone wild 9-Berry Can I talk? All right first up girls gone wide podcast has a question. It's not girls gone wild. No girls gone What maybe it's a play on words. Yes, it's a play on words How much does age factor into fitness goals? This girls gone wide podcast lady is 39 years old and her body doesn't seem to be responding as it used to and The question is also does this vary between men and women? I can't be serious right now. Well, yes Okay, I got it. You made us drink. I got it though. I'll start us off serious Yeah, yeah, I know this is uh, let's battle axe all these questions Girls gone wad podcast our friends. They have a podcast. Yeah Awesome. We've been meaning to find ladies. I believe we've been meaning to do something We had Brianna reach I thought reach out to them or they reached out to us I can't remember. We'll see what happens if we drop the ball. I apologize, you know, let's get on this girls gone Modcast, maybe we'll have them out. Maybe we'll invite them out here because I know they've been huge supporters for a long time So we got lots of love for them. So here's the deal I think we've kind of indirectly talked about this many a times on the show Indirectly meaning like there's so many things like when you talk about Adaptation right that what happens to us over years and years of lifting weights and trying all these different programs You've done high-intensity low-intensity new steady comes out for this now You try well when you're 39 and if you've been lifting for more than five ten I don't know how many years, but I'm assuming if you started a podcast It's kind of geared around fitness and you follow us that you've probably been lifting more than a few years She has she said in this in the whole question. I remember she said her body doesn't respond like when she was in her 20s Okay, exactly. So she's been doing it for at least 10 years Yeah closer to 20 right because if she's 20 to 40, so there's you know So she's probably been lifting for quite some time So there's there's I think there's a plus side to this and there's a minus side to this right the plus side is that the When you've fallen off for a while or you haven't been dialed in I would Totally say that this is where I'm at right now I think that when I know I want to ramp it up like I can get back to where I was before now to progress beyond that becomes really challenging because We've done so much to our bodies right as far as different types of modalities and intensity level you've manipulated like the fit principle a million times and so You now are not getting the same response as what you were when you it was an early It was a new adaptation like when it's a new adaptation You get lots of return from it for quite some time and then after you've done it and revisited it so many times The body is so adapted to it that it just the return on investment is just not quite the same Well, I think too as you've aged like your body has identified the Main movers right the main the loud signals that you're trying to Enhance even further and so this has become sort of like your go-to protocol and This is years in the making and so like if you you know The more years under your belt of doing things the same way This really like reinforces the signal in this process that you've you've taken to get there and so You have to recognize the fact that the way that you've done things is is you know It leads up to to where you are today and then to to kind of enhance that are to progress further You know, it takes like kind of stepping outside of that and reevaluating a lot of these signals and like maybe like where You know, you can you can see things where they are weak and then focus a little bit more on that Well, here's here's something you want to consider to Take get a group of 39 year old men and women just people right? Yeah, 39 year old people and That's the average person and then compare them to 39 year olds that are fit and healthy Yeah, the difference. Are you I feel like the spectrum. I feel like the spectrum becomes more extreme So you get you get like either the people that really cared about themselves or you get the people like it really starts to fall off You know once you get towards 40 know what I notice it makes a huge Difference the drinkers the smokers You see all those patterns have runners like rolled out like somebody who is like somebody who has really gotten good Got good balance in their life as far as like everything because I can always I've seen really fit people too that are like 40-50 but they also were in a tanning bed fucking 15-20 years of their life ever No serious or I see someone who's not really aesthetically fit But then they were major smokers though, or they were major drinkers though, but then they still did all my healthy Yeah, well, yeah, all all those but that's what I'm saying is it like you really start to see all those different things I've seen a great body in the later 40 50s Let's talk about how much they stand out if they are healthy and fit Now that's what it is. Yeah, when you see so you see a woman who is 45 plus years old neck turner and she's got a fit body her skin looks really good her hair looks really good like Man, you can just you can just tell you can tell that they have taken care of themselves And that's at 45.  It's huge.  There's no such thing is too far trust me.  Oh, I would debate that. No, I tell you I would debate the stability thing strength Yes stability. I don't know man. No, you're hyper connective you CNS. Yes, look at here The world if you look at all the world records for CNS for power and strength though Not so much for stabilization because you don't do as much you know Unilateral stuff you might be thinking balance. That's well stability, bro. There. That's what stability is I'm talking just general stability Generate max force, but they can't control it. Yes. Okay. Yes. Well, I just had to come in So here's the thing though if you look at all the strength sports You'll see athletes competing at very high levels in their 30s and 40s If you look at extreme endurance sports, you'll see some of the top athletes in their 30s and 40s like you can go really really far For a long fucking time and if you lift weights and train properly, my goodness, you can continue to set PRs Yeah, we're a very very long and your hormone levels your hormone levels will mimic or look like they did when they Were younger especially with proper resistance right now But the main reason why she's asking this is is like the fact that she's probably putting in this hard work and not seeing The same return that she used to which I think we can all agree has to do with just the amount of I mean at this Point she has done so many things that her body has become and and really where I see this the most Most discrepancy here is when somebody has done this a lot of high intense things over all their years I'm saying that can you live effective shitty work?  You know, there's there's there's a lot of truth in what you're saying Adam Despite the octave changes There's a lot of truth skin passion about that I feel you there's a lot of truth because people need to realize is exercise causes oxidative oxidative stress on the body Oxidative stress is literally The one of the root causes of aging. Yes, this is how we can always tell when somebody was a runner their whole life People don't think about this either like man You want to I can tell you a marathon runner who I meet when she's 45 years old You would think because she's skinny and lean she looks good But she looks old and weathered because she's because of this exact reason I can tell people who work out too much who are a little bit older because they look Older than their age and it's from that oxidative stress. Yeah, you were not doing yourself any any favors by going ridiculous all the time There's a delicate balance with exercise between it improving your health longevity And it actually taken away from health longevity and it's that extreme factor, but here's the thing that you want to consider, too As you get older, I would argue there's some there's some benefits to here's here's what I'll tell you what and I'm speaking from a Male perspective. I don't know about you guys, right? I'm 38. You guys are not too far behind me Do you guys do you guys put on muscle easier now than you did when you were 18 19? Do you put on muscle easy because I do hmm? I can build muscle now. Well, okay, so that's much easier. Okay Hold on hold on. I can manipulate. Yes and no. Yes. Yes. I would agree with that Yeah, okay. Yes and no because you're very versed in there you go, you know, I understand I wish I knew what I know now when I was 25 because I would see way more results at 25 With the amount of experience that I had and the knowledge that I have now Then what I am at 35 putting that all together. So we the reason why we see better gains now with them Yeah, it's wisdom. It's not because our bodies are set up But now as you age you're fighting diminishing hormones. I mean like let's be honest that signal Like it dampens over time I and so this is something that like I know even for women, especially like if they had you know a child and you know It changes you physiologically changes you like and so, you know to bounce back from that. God damn That's a hard process to go through and like I feel for it So those are definite things like I mean, there's more There's more obstacles. There's more barriers and Adam's totally lighting up Marijuana going too much. He's going deep. You're going deep.  I watched Friday the other day remember that movie Friday Yeah, the part the part were what's his name was smoking weed with the with the essays and they sprinkled angel dust on it So here there's a second part to this question she says is this different for men and women Here's something interesting and study and studies actually support this in Experienced men and women in other words men and women who are trained who are relatively advanced who've been working out for a while Women actually display faster recovery than men do. I don't know if you guys knew this or not I didn't know that they show less muscle damage and Faster recovery when men and women are untrained Men tend to recover faster now the reason for that discrepancy is they see they think it's because men tend to be more Active anyway with physical things so even in untrained states the man's probably a little more active than the female But once they're trained women recover faster and this is funny now. This is interesting now because So far of all I've had we've had men and women Pretty evenly split for who's done maps maps programming and when I first introduced maps Anabolic which was the first program women definitely see the biggest women women both men and women respond very well Women get the women into women become our diehard fans because they're like holy shit women. It's almost like sure It's okay. So here's what you need to use what you expect with excellent excellent programming like maps We expect about 80 to 85 percent of the people to do it will say that it blew away their other programs There's a there's a 15% that we accept that will have genes that may respond better to other kinds of course because of their Exceptions the rule there's always that right and but we know that the majority of people are just gonna respond better to our programming We also know that there's a small percentage Anywhere between 10 to 20 percent that are gonna be super responders to our programming people who just Respond so fucking well the frequency. It just blows them away Hmm and a lot of women fall in that category like I'll get messages and pictures From women who are like showing me before and afters and it's like Crazy, you know like 30 to 60 minute excuse me 68 time period I have to feel I think it's cuz they recover faster so frequency for them Yes, yes, that's part of it But I feel like You know as far as our culture is concerned the way that women are prescribed to train is so Silly and patronizing well, that's what that's a good point I you know that's why you could argue so you come in and you give them like valid weight training protocols that like You know, you're not skirting around the idea of like Yeah, let's like train hard Let's like do this like legit and like women have been taken advantage of in the fitness industry more than for sure It is me off because it's like, you know like women can be badass and do just like we can all train the same There's no reason why we shouldn't train. Well, I want to counter that because a lot of the messages in your 100% Right a hundred percent.  Okay, what do I do now? I think I'm building too much muscle. Yeah, I've actually had several like once in my life I've actually had several women now saying start off and saying well I started doing your butt builder because I wanted to build my glutes and then they'll come back to three months later and be like Okay, my butt is about as big as I want to get it. What do I do? Which is crazy. It is an easy problem once you have that. It's a great problem Fend that's what you want. You want to get in shape as fast as possible and then have to scale back But it's just amazing how they respond and I so I think I think women recover. I think the girls gone wild actually have our He really just sees that yeah, you know, that's why they did it. I think it's very clever. No, it is I think that they I think they run our program.  So this is where Changing the mode out. Maybe you've never been a kettlebell girl before how about that? Like we have a great kettlebells for aesthetics Like if you've never messed with kettlebells, you want a whole new adaptation. I'm surprised at how popular that program is Yeah, I know it's it's blow people love that program. So I would find that I would find something You know and I don't know which which maps you are on if you are running in of them But that this is the idea of changing these out of teach the difference between red and green is like significant That's great. So if I had somebody who's like a major powerlifter strength training and they're like man, I'm they're going through the same thing I say well one of the best things you can do is go through our like green program Or if you're somebody who's like super mobility yoga Pilates person, that's what you're I would say Okay, you want something totally different go to red or black and that'll totally do that Or if you're somebody who's done kind of all of that and you've cycled through but you haven't fucked with kettlebells I'd say go through like kettlebells aesthetic now before we go to the next question Doug I want to make that announcement L doa certification Happening here at mine pump media studios March 11th and 12th.

Check it out Hopefully we see some of you guys next question bring it bring it up universal What is going on with all the IFBB pros and cool? You know what dude? I'm so intrigued by this right now Can I say something we all body building so I've you know, I was a huge fan I act milk. I was a huge body building Fnatic in terms of the sport and the history of it up until I'd say the the end of the 90s, right? I was very very big into it and One thing that I noticed in pro body building is that it would go through these Wrap it would go it would be consistent for a while in terms of how everybody looked and then it would go through like this boom Explosion of like change. Yeah, and then everybody looked like that for a while like Arnold We have only two or three times, right? So what you have is you have the body building of the 60s and then in the 70s It was just all of a sudden this fucking huge Transition and guys got bigger they got more ripped and really what it was is they just increased their doses of steroids And they have started incorporating dieting a little more seriously wasn't that when the surge of growth hormone started to come on? No, that net not yet Then the 80s came about the 80s and in the 80s bodybuilder started utilizing steroids putting more science into it adding higher doses Incorporating insulin growth not yet. Not yet.  I think it was second place to Lee Haney if I'm not mistaken and He came back the following Olympia Looking like a different person just you know those very famous black-and-white pictures of Dorian Yeah, you know what I'm talking about where he just nobody had seen bodybuilders looked like that before like it was a Completely new look it was the day of that ripped gut Yeah, it was just this era of mass monsters and people say it's because The doses went up even higher and then they started really understanding how to use insulin and growth hormone So all of a sudden you had the era of the mass monsters the Dorian Yates the Nassar El-Sambadi the Kevin Livrone the you know all these guys just got fucking massive and super super shredded because they started using Doretics and all kinds of stuff and then it stayed like that for a while Ronnie Coleman Of course hit the scenes and he was just another Ridiculous-looking guy, but nothing really changed super dramatic until recently Which is so exciting for me that like in this if you've been somebody who's been hanging out with mine pumps since day one like one of my favorite things for us to do is like To talk about what we see in the industry and where we think it's going in the future of it like those that have been with Us new way back when when we talked about shreds before anybody knew all about that bullshit Now you see every Instagram person jumping on board and now they look they're all poison each other's business Which is hilarious So you know this is another thing with a ketogenic diet when that all came out and that was going to be a huge thing And now everybody's talking about that. Well, this is supplements around that. This is a big thing This is gonna this is going to be another huge topic over the next like five years What's happening right now? It's kind of because it's it's we're going on a bro This is like I've never seen anything like this.  So there's something okay Let me explain something to you the bodybuilding Mecca is southern, California If you're anybody who's anybody you probably go to southern, California And now there's become there's other mechas now that I've kind of popped up like lots of Las Vegas now with you know Because I think Metro is over on the East Coast But but the Middle East is not a Mecca never has been for bodybuilding. Yeah, cool. No, wait No, but except for the actual Mecca.  They're maximizing the drug and take they're eating like freakin maniacs. They're sleeping They're training.  He's gained. Yeah, it doesn't happen. They look the same the difference is sometimes they're late They look sharper than others, but that's all about water manipulation and diuretic and other programming You know those little things are minor micro adjustments minor. Yes, totally minor these guys these experienced guys are 15 30 pounds on them They're just they're going to go away and they're posting like a 90-day transformation and it's Fucking weird and they've got a different look to their muscles like they look they remind me of that Milo Stanton Inhibited bowl pictures that you can go online. They look silly.  It's 100% I'll bet I'll bet all my money on it it's a new drug that they're using or they're using the same drugs in some different way, but it's probably a new drug and We know a lot of people In the industry, so we hear the rumors right we hear the rumors and here's one of the rumors We do not know if this is true I'm we're not obviously not promoting this and I'm gonna go into why you don't want to fuck with this particular drug But we know people in the industry who've said this is what's happening. Apparently. There's a drug called Let's see here relics a croix, right?   Here's why that's fucking scary what insulin like growth factor is connected to longevity and to Reduce massively reduced risks of cancer and I don't mean increased amounts of IGF one I'm talking about reduce amounts of IGF one in fact Human populations that are that have a polymorphism where they don't have or they have low doses or low normal amounts of IGF one you can tell because they tend to be smaller because it's a growth hormone But they live much much longer and we know if we in fact there's lots and lots of science that goes into You know IGF one because we know inhibiting it reduces your risk of cancer and stops cancer growth in many cases Increases it increasing it.  Anabolic sand Eating it. Yeah, there's camel meat. There's definitely in how I know something specifically going on over in Kuwait It's like so I still talk to a lot of buddies that are you know top competitors in in men's physique in bodybuilding and They're they're all going over there like I've there's been a handful of them already that I've spoken to I don't know And now all of a sudden five of my buddies or five of my you know IFBB, you know peers that are heading over there I'm gonna say okay, so obviously there's something something more than the gym and the coach over there that everybody's Decided lifting gold bars. Yeah, so it's gonna be this will be something that will be talked about over the next like three To five years. You'll hear a lot of it going on for sure because You're now that it's we know it's happening and these guys are starting to mess with it You'll start to see like all the Olympia guys So you're gonna like you were describing the eras like there's going to be a 2015 to 2025 type of era of bodybuilding where we made this next big Bro, did you see that? Did you see that it was a Brandon Curry? I think it was pro bodybuilder Did you see his picture? Yeah, you sent it over to me Posted a picture of himself when he got there and then one that was like I think it was 30 or 90 days either way It was a short period of time. It looks Dramatically different and this guy's been competing for a while. It looks silly how much more muscular? I'm sure they shaved like 10 15 years off their life.    We're getting close. We are it's and this this part this process had to happen I mean, I don't want to be the guy And I but I definitely don't want to be the guy to tell the guy who wants to be the guy Don't be the guy. I'll be the guy You didn't get that you're that guy I'm gonna be the other guy that's all that matters as long as the producer understood I was trying to get a guy there. Yeah, here's the thing Don't be that guy.  Yeah, who knows exactly what it is It's like this plethora of things and people don't realize like let me tell you something about your bodybuilding magazine They will tell you who won Olympia who looked phenomenal in 1989 who looked awesome in 2005 they will very rarely if ever publish a story about this ex Olympian Now has new kidneys or this one is now on liver drugs because his liver said they don't talk about it But a lot there's a big chunk of them that are and This is why I know I'm not that surprised I'm very passionate about this and it's a lot of why I speak out on it on the show and on my Instagram and things is that You know, I remember being in my 20s and because we grew up in watching all this and even being somebody in the fitness industry I connected the level of Someone's fitness basically or the way they looked to health to know not to that. That's not how I was younger I connected it to how much juice they probably do.  So same rules apply rules apply and that was when I was competing I was running across guys that were just like upping their dosage Adding more steroids is their ignorance of the rest of the training and the nutrition and I'm looking at their bodies And I'm going like no, bro. What's keeping you from winning right now. It's not the level of steroids Like you're in balance.   They work out shitty, but they think it's all about the drugs I've known more than a few people who this is what I've known regular dudes Those are those are more of them if that the reason why I say that I actually saw it within competitors That's what blew my mind because if anybody should understand the importance of diet and training It's somebody who's competing at the highest level.  So that's what made me so passionate about was like just letting people understand The problem is it being taboo. You don't really have a good understanding of how to use it You know if you're using it or like, you know, you just have this like oh, bro. Come on You want more Justin? I want you to pull you're on that one.  You've been you like the one I made you Yeah, it was good. Well, you want a nipple for yours or what look at this? I got mine I'm ready. It's not every day that we drink on the job. Dude. Come on next question.  I got it Sweezy for real Adam gets a lot nicer when he's drinking. Yeah, so much nice Very gentle. Yeah, how do you train with resistance training to compliment Brazilian jiu-jitsu? Oh Wow, I wouldn't be and then the second part to this question is Sal Do you plan to compete again and also do either? Justin wants to go as well or compete as well, you know what so I have an interesting relationship with Brazilian jiu-jitsu when I First got into into Brazilian jiu-jitsu. I I've told the story several times on the on the podcast But I walked into a jiu-jitsu school and I had no humble I had a big time I had known jiu-jitsu or about jiu-jitsu for a long time. I had done judo as a kid.  Hmm, and it humbled me and so I got into Brazilian jiu-jitsu right around this time I Had at this point. I had been using The over-the-counter designer steroid or pro hormones they used to call them, but they were in reality. They were active, right? So it's basically like a steroid you could just they were legal and I had been using them on and off and had a poor relationship with Exercise of my body and this is what I was just trying to do kind of big when you were going into yeah, I was I was big and I give you a false sense of ego and confidence It wasn't just that it was that I you know, I was I just had a poor relationship with with with my body I was always at that point. I was really just trying to get big.  I didn't stop with the constant focus on getting big Until about a year into doing Brazilian jiu-jitsu After about a year of doing jiu-jitsu I competed in a tournament and I got I lost and I lost not because The guy was better than me but because I gassed out and I wasn't as mobile as I could have been and I had at this point only been doing jiu-jitsu about twice a week And so at that point I lost and I'm like, you know what?  I was all about the movement And I got a lot better the difference between going twice a week in four days a week Was dramatic, but there was a big difference in my training as well when I lifted weights before it was like My resistance training didn't change From what how it was before and it was always focused on building a hypertrophy Yeah, it was all you have to feel like now you would be different, right? Totally different.  But at that point I cut my resistance training down from five days a week to two days a week So now I'm doing Brazilian jiu-jitsu four days a week, and I'm lifting twice a week instead of you know Two days a week of jiu-jitsu and five days a week of resistance training Yeah now because I'm only doing resistance training twice a week and because jiu-jitsu is my focus My focus on my resistance training changes So I realized something early on because at first I thought to myself like okay now I'm gonna lift weights for jiu-jitsu.  That's a mistake. I started doing circuits I started doing you know crossfit style workouts before I knew what crossfit was so it's just that style Well, you notice a lot of the guys in your jiu-jitsu class did do crossfit and you were you like Cautionary with that. Yes. They did later on.  Can I pause you for a second? Sure? This is a part where I think people don't understand to like I remember when we first started like People always would have this like oh, I understand you guys have this stance against crossfit like that We had this like thing against them, but here's here's why and what listening to you tell this story reminds me that I think at one Point all of us have created programs not only for our clients We understand we understand the program exactly that's what I mean Yeah, it's faulty exactly and so it's it's not that I'm we have like this like nose up in the air and it's like Oh, we're better than them and that no, it's like I programmed this before Yeah, and I saw what it did to hundreds of clients So when you've trained thousands of people and you have and you're and you've done all the and you've done all kinds of programs and Created different types of workouts You understand that and then when you apply it to hundreds of people and you see what it does and then you apply It to yourself. Yeah, it reminds me of when we got competitive against other trainers for yes come up with the most Crazy intense workout like that very much so reminds me that literally takes like two seconds of thought Yeah, and and so it's just like it's nonsensical.  They want to they want to better themselves They want to become healthier. They want to become stronger. They want to become faster They want to come fitter whatever their personal goal. Well, I feel like that approach that approach Very quickly leads you to high risk of injury burnout body stops responding and you have a high dropout, right? In fact, they don't they don't publish their numbers, but I'd love to see yeah with the dropout So in talking about jiu-jitsu, it's already an intensified You know cardiovascular type experience where you get a high level of skill high level of body movement Mobility all these kinds of things. So now how do you compliment that in terms of strength exactly because at first my approach was I'm gonna train to build those attributes. So I'm gonna train with stamina. I'm gonna train with explosiveness I'm gonna do all these and what ended up happening was my performance decreased in jiu-jitsu Because I was burning myself out and I'd go, you know grapple with someone and I'd be exhausted after five minutes and I'm like What is going on and then I had kind of a realization and I thought to myself and I said, you know all these different training modalities all these different things that we do I need to start thinking of them as tools One's a hammer one's a screwdriver, you know one's a pair of pliers and if you have a toolbox And if you want to hammer it if you want to put a nail into the wall You use a hammer for it. You don't use could I hammer a nail into the wall with a pair of pliers? I could I could definitely figure out a way to use pliers a hammer and nail into wall But it's gonna be far less effective than using a hammer and that those pliers are really good at doing things that that pliers were designed to do Weights are really fucking good at getting you strong. Nothing will get you strong like weights There is no form of exercise that will build pure raw strength like weights That's there. That's what the tool is designed for if you want to build endurance Do things that are tools that are for endurance now in this particular case I'm doing jiu-jitsu if I want endurance and jiu-jitsu guess what I'm gonna do more of jiu-jitsu I'm gonna grapple more so what I did with my resistance training is I used it for what it was designed for for what? Resistance training works best for which is to get stronger So I backed off on the intensity and my resistance training sessions were designed around getting me Improving and increasing my absolute strength And so my lifts looked a lot like phase one of maps read and of course I would phase in anatomy because summon that kind of response So you need it in that moment because when I was getting my deadlift stronger in my you know One to three rep range rep range when I'd go to jiu-jitsu I would see the carryover and I'd get the endurance from grappling if I wanted more endurance I would just stay longer and matches and I'd go from one person to the next and so the best way to train with resistance to complement your sport is a You want to train imbalances, which I was always aware of so make sure it helps you prevent injury and be use resistance training For what it's good for and that's to build strength, but the last point I want to make is this When you get stronger with resistance training It is very important that you do a high degree of skills training in your current sport Because if I take an athlete if I take a baseball player a football player a basketball player Jiu-jitsu, you know player if I take that person and I snap my fingers and I give them 15% more strength And then I have go them go do their sport for a set for a little while there They're gonna be a take a step back because now they're coordination. Yes, they're off because their timing is off Yes, their strength is off the body. It's a very important to note So if you take if you're gonna lift weights to get stronger Continue your skills strengths that you can incorporate or translate skill You know what I love about your analogy with the tools like I literally look So and and to I know we have to kind of bring CrossFit of every now and then but like with CrossFit how I look at them They are a Swiss Army knife.  And the last question is well before I mean to compliment the jiu-jitsu I think and this is why we created these these different programs and like and we also created them with flexibility of Modification the thing so I would take someone like this and I would have them go through maps green and while they're going through maps green How I would organize the foundational mobility would be perfect Yeah maps green with and the way I would organize it would be based around their level of jiu-jitsu that they want to do like so Meaning that if jiu-jitsu is your number one priority Well, then a majority of our time that's gonna be foundational So a lot of your you know on where you would be doing foundational work in green a lot of that's gonna be replaced by Actual jiu-jitsu right because that's your main focus here and then a lot of the mobility type exercises that we include in there Is what you would do on the off days to not only help build strength, but also keep you mobile and multi-plane here I'll tell you what if you're an athlete whether it be jiu-jitsu basketball baseball, whatever maps performance is 100% the program you want to use and the way you would utilize it is if you're doing a lot of training in your sport So like four days or more a week Maybe even three days or more a week of whatever sport you're into then instead of doing three foundational workouts a day do two And then do mobility on as much as you want because mobility is not intense It's good for you know for reducing risk of injury the second note if you're on maps performance Phase four you utilize in the off season Do not utilize that during the season because phase four itself is very very intense And if you throw phase four in with your hardcore training you run the risk of over over training So and I believe we've made notes in that like this is the you know building the bigger gas tank This is something you want to do in the off season leading up to a season the last part of the question He wanted to know if I would ever compete or train again in jiu-jitsu. Here's what I have to say about this I have a pat. I have a love for jiu-jitsu. It's person didn't care about me No, huh this person didn't care about me or Justin. Well, they asked me first and they said if you guys would ever do This okay, we're gonna see it. I have a tremendous love for jiu-jitsu.  So hard because it's so hard because we both have egos Yes, yes assholes now because now because you have had you guys have bad egos because in this particular realm of Fight training or whatever When you go in and you wrestle someone and you're going a hundred percent because you're not punching right?  Yeah Actually truth be told and you brought this up before I actually really would love to do this I would love you guys will be excellent at it I would love I would love love love to do if there was anything like that I would get into as far as like Competitive with and I don't know if you classify that as fighting because I'm we're not punching each other But that's the type of fighting I would do now at this age because I'm not gonna get an MMA ring and get punched in The face right now like this not now maybe you could convince me 10 15 years ago But at this but I would love to do something like jujitsu or judo I would definitely love to learn judo like that judo we'd all get hurt judo is way too explosive Jiu-jitsu is beautiful. You can you can start on the ground go. Can you still get hurt in jiu-jitsu?   We will bring a coach in here to do it for us. They'll be awesome roll some mats out right here We actually once a week once a week. We have a guy actually come out. Don't start dude. I'm down Put it in the budget. Let's do that sign us up tie. All right if we don't it's Doug's fault I'm gonna put it out there right now. All right. Take the blame playing Doug. All right next up is be bullet zero nine diagnosed with Crohn's a few years ago how to eat for it and for gut health So It's funny because I'm glad we went this I just had somebody message me about you know It's horrible. There's an epidemic that's happening right now that is not being addressed Fully acknowledged and addressed by the mainstream media and I have my own You know, I have my own reservations with with with the mainstream media the mainstream media all your major media news outlets are controlled by a few Corporations who are very very intricately intricately connected to our government and they've been caught many many times Promoting bullshit either to promote some kind of propaganda whether it be pro-war or anti a particular, you know You know drug that they want to make illegal or whatever There's a lot of stuff that they talk about to promote That's that can be very bullshit and there's a lot of stuff that they don't talk about because they don't want it to come out And one of them is the epidemic of autoimmune diseases. Yep We are in the midst look it up look up the numbers look up the statistics every day I get somebody who Inboxes me on one of my social media platforms that is talking about this whether it's something They're directly affected by or someone who's close to them directly Affected by it and it's it's unbelievable who it's happening to because a lot of them are people that have been involved in fitness For the last 10-15 years there is just blame genetics because you also have to take into account that like these genes get Expressed by you exposing it to certain factors. Yeah, no no no genetics. I'm sorry is not The reason this is happening. Okay. It's no no, I don't know. It's part of the reason Oh, here's what I be genetics is true We understand this way more than what we understood this here's what I mean by that We did not all of a sudden evolve to have all these problems. Yeah But I just want to say that there's there there is that somebody's gonna say oh my god Then yes, it does yes, there is a role it plays, but it's not the only no You're right. No, you're right And it's not even the major role in this situation It's not genetics genes have not changed dramatically over three generations. They just haven't we haven't evolved that fast But we have this Epidemic and it is indeed a massive epidemic of autoimmune diseases Which include things like food allergies and for any of the parents that are listening right now You know exactly what I'm talking about because I was in school not that long ago I'm 38 years old.  That didn't exist 10 15 years Not like this not at this level no I mean it existed but it wasn't like that when we were kids There was there there was nobody had allergies in class if there was it wasn't something and there wasn't enough people that we Actually designated areas or made rules in the class there is now there are now bills right now going out in state Legislatures if not already have been passed. I think in some of them where they're gonna require epi pens to be put in classrooms now Wow, yeah, and that's one aspect of it You have autoimmune diseases all all of them on the rise every single autoimmune disease You can think of is on the rise Crohn's is one of them Crohn's has grown Exponentially over the last 20 years Diseases like skin diseases psoriasis on the rise gut issues in general on the rise Certain types of arthritis here about your room your room toward arthritis on the rise like all these These these autoimmune issues have exploded and there's a lot of theories as to what the culprit is My personally I believe it's a combination of a lot of these things and here's the things that I think that are causing them number one it is the overuse of Antibiotics I think are contributing to this and what I mean by that is the overuse of antibiotics in humans and in animals and it's causing this reduction in Variety of You know gut flora and healthy bacteria just overall bacteria that we're exposed to and that live in and on us and they've already They've already there's already studies that have shown that the last three generations have less and less diverse gut flora's and Microbiomes than the previous generation. So that's one of them. I think We're being exposed to it.   I believe then there's also the introduction of You know GMO type foods, which really didn't start hitting the market until the 90s and in the 90s The the market penetration rate was very very low But within 10 years their market penetration rate was very high to now If you pick up a processed or packaged food The odds that it's a GMO or anywhere between 70 to 90 percent. So the majority of packaged Processed non-organic food is GMO. Now. Why is that important? We have conclusively now found that the Glyphosates that are used on GMO's so GMO's are or they're they're they're or they are genetically modified they're modified to withstand very high doses of synthetic Weed killers and insecticides.  So it's super easy, right? But what we know now is that glyphosate Glyphosates number one the World Health Organization Has loosely connected glyphosates to cancer risk Number two, we know that glyphosates have been shown to fundamentally alter Gut flora and I want to be careful with my words because there is no Conclusive evidence that it's bad, but all the other science is showing altering a gut flora in a non-natural way. It's probably bad So that's another thing and if you look at the charts, well that whole so just so people know I mean that whole last 30 seconds of what you said is where all the The other science right so and it's gonna be great. We're about to have Lane Norton on the show So you're gonna see an example of a PhD that will take him about that part exactly that will take that information because There's there's not enough conclusive Evidence so there's there's a problem right now is because you'll have one it's one side Yeah, that's just what do you want to lean on?  It's the it's a fucking to me I feel like that doesn't apply when we're talking about our health and well-being because I Would like a little heads up or even if the majority doesn't agree with me yet If a lot of people are starting to see this or notice something I would I think that information should be shared But you've got the other side that likes to battle with that because they they have other You have to place your own bets. Yeah, and at that point like because it's not as Conclusive but you still have to place your bets in one side or the other and so if you're placing your bets on a side That's like Well, what's not proven versus like, you know, like what intuitively you feel like may have maybe problematic You know, there's two sides to that. Look here. Look here bottom line.  That's how safe.  That's where the money is and number three Where are the 50 and 100 year studies on these substances? They don't exist.  It might not show up for 30 40.  Like I I'm gonna trust that now over GMOs have been on the market since the mid 90s the longest studies done or six months or a year not even a thousand year roll Yeah, like I'm not like let's use milk water and like wine and coffee Coffee it's bullshit and the other one by the way is artificial sweeteners which have not been in massive widespread use for that long and by the way Over 75% of the adverse Adverse chemical reactions that people will get with food so synthetic components and food over 75% of the Reports that go to the FDA for adverse reactions are due to aspartame aspartame That's over 75 any if you take all the fucking complaints that go to the FDA when it comes to additives and food Over 75% to aspartame, which is an artificial sweetener that's deemed totally safe by the FDA So for me personally when you're dealing with autoimmune diseases What's more important than what you do. It's what you shouldn't do well It's crazy what you should avoid you check this out. This is what this is what's tough though So I just got an inbox.  So she's been on a competitive diet before And he says what's up? I want to talk to you about my girlfriend She got autoimmune issues and her doctor keeps trying her to throw her on a zero carb High protein diet for a year every time she has a carb. She reacts reacts sets her. I don't know what he said there It's insane. I went to the doctor with her and we argued she sent me out She did a traditional bikini prep and her stomach was fine when she eats bad She has sharp pains bloating headache, etc Now me and her are arguing because every time she leaves the doctor She's crying and I get pissed any chance you could talk to her on the phone or tell her give her ten minutes I know it's better if a third party gives her some info not her boyfriend and see if you can understand why her Doc is doing this and maybe explain to me dude these problems are It's like I said, it's exponential growth and I'm hearing it more and more and more from people all the time with Minor issues all the way to bain issues younger people being diagnosed with some of these autoimmune disorders than whereas before it was older people Cancer rates have increased now cancer. I believe is on route to being the number one killer in in America and a lot of people will say oh that's due because people are getting older No, when you count when you start to you new control for that factor, we still have a rising cancer We have a higher survival rate because our treatments are getting better, but diagnosing rate is higher Even if you consider that we're finding a more because better you know technology whatever cancer rates among pets has gone up Okay, this is also a statistic Dude don't give away my fucking business idea. There's a lot of there's a lot of shit that's that's going on So here's step number one you got Crohn's pay attention to what you shouldn't do first before what you should do Here's what you shouldn't do stop eating all artificial sweeteners colors dyes Stay away from most or all this is what you should do Should yeah process like that's what I mean don't eat those things like stay away from processed food Stay away from all supplements stay away from all those those things that's number one This is like right right away like there's a supplement that'll help me. No, it's processed. No, I said number number two avoid sugar and And gluten and dairy those seem to be and this is anecdotal But there's a little bit evidence to support it that people with autoimmune disorders Respond very poorly to those three things sugar gluten and dairy So avoid those three things for now and take out any other foods You may think that you have an intolerance to now the next step is what you explain cake You know, let's stop because I know I have someone specifically that's listening to you for this You know, what do you mean by that? Like you if you eat something here's an intolerance to people don't understand if they have an intolerance to something or not All right Here's some easy signs if you eat something and you notice that you have any any Signs of gastro issues whether it be bloating. Yeah bubble in your stomach farting burping your stool changes like running Really, yeah heartburn Anything like that headache then then look for other signals headache brain fog Then look for signals that take longer to show up acne or see changes or sleep like Like, you know, we identified some with my girlfriend. We eliminated them actually peanut peanut butter for her We eliminated peanut butter and her skin just cleared up right away Like she was having some issues here and there with her skin She couldn't figure it out because she's really healthy eliminated peanut butter skin was better She reintroduced peanut butter just to test it. Sure enough. She started breaking out a little bit hundred percent Peanut butter was her was her trigger.  So a lot of people just have a hard time with that But really the reason why this is why they tell you you need to be because you're trying to alter something And that's not gonna happen over, you know, five good meals. Not only that Not only that but your body's hyper reactive. So what you'll find is you'll do good for a month And then have a cheat day. We're oh, I'm gonna have some gluten or I'm gonna eat some whatever and then symptoms Just fucking come back all of a sudden And what Adam's saying it takes a while it takes a while before you start to feel like you're getting better So you might need to do this for a couple months before you notice that it's I explain with people like when you get these autoimmune issues It's because you did something that wasn't good for your body for a long time Consistently so think you know before you're really really good You're probably going to have to do something really good the opposite of that for a very long time to really reap all the benefits Like you're not gonna like for someone like me I'm still dealing with this like with my psoriasis like I just I just made another step in this journey for me Literally like two days ago where now all my detergent all my soap that I'm using is I don't have anything that has that antibacterial stuff I have nothing with this sense everything's all organic and natural So I'm like if I'm rubbing this soap over my body I'm wearing these clothes every day and I have something that's a skin irritation Let me try and add something that could be you know So and I'll now assess that like what a difference that makes and I'll do these little things with my diet Same way just takes fucking time it takes time and you also want to I mean from a scientific standpoint There's something called leaky gut syndrome, which is very common. By the way, that's not a medically accepted term yet or Problem but more and more in the medical community are looking at it and taking it seriously And the theory behind leaky gut syndrome is that your gut gets inflamed Which it does and because it becomes inflamed it becomes more permeable So things can perm because your gut Your gut lining in particular is designed to absorb some things and not absorb other things. It's a barrier well, if it becomes inflamed it Loses its ability to block out certain toxins and so now things are leaking into your gut into your bloodstream and your body recognizes them as Foreign invaders and so it creates an immune response and that immune response Presents itself in many different ways. Sometimes it's in a very big way like Crohn's disease other times It's smaller ways like acne or Or something like psoriasis.  That's the number one piece of advice. I'm I give you is do these things be vigilant It's gonna take time. I hate to tell you this I've worked with people where it took a six months to a year man before they really saw a big improvements I personally when I dealt with my own gut issues and autoimmune issues I had to be perfect for like a year like well in that year if I had a little bit of gluten Fucking huge flare-up, but here's the good news after being consistent for a while Now I can throw them in every once in a while and I don't have a reaction like I used to So it's like I've gotten to that point now.  It's a lot Your immune system is what keeps you alive If you have an autoimmune disorder your immune system is literally it's a little defunct and that I'll tell you right now. That is the scariest thing for me Like what mode that I'm so glad you said that because if there's something that Secretly motivates me more than anything else to better My condition was because psorias. Okay, so check this out when I get the nuisance, right? But if you just look at it like that, well, check this out when I went and saw my dermatologist And they and I was asking all the different things that I could do for my psoriasis They said to me Well, honestly, sir All the things that we have out there as far as the medication the steroid type creams the light therapy that we do Is has more adverse effects to your body than what you currently have So you're really a level one of what we would say in in the psoriasis 1 to 10 scale on how bad it is So You're best off you're best off just utilizing this creams and basically getting used to having this and managing Yeah, just deal with it.

U.S. Senator Tim Scott suspended his run for the 2024 Republican presidential election nomination on Sunday, Nov. 12, after months of burning through campaign cash at a blistering rate without making a significant dent in national opinion polls, Scott told Fox News in an interview on Sunday evening that he had suspended his campaign. His exit may provide a modest boost for other candidates trying to dislodge front runner and former President Donald Trump from the top spot, the lone black Republican in the U.S. Senate, Scott began his campaign in May, promising to present an optimistic, forward-looking vision for America. He portrayed himself as a deeply conservative candidate who was more capable of healing political divisions in the United States than Trump and another candidate, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis. Bought into that premise that if you just say it often enough, it must be true. And we've heard the same story, rinse it, recycle it and repeat it. I think this package speaks very clearly to the young person who's concerned when he stopped by the law enforcement officers. We see you.
