Welcome back to the long form content.Just to introduce, as usual, there will be nofootage on screen or anything coming up unless wespecifically say so and so far there hasn’t beenanything, so just feel free to relax.This will be also on Spotify and SoundCloud andApple Tunes and imac and whatever that is.But I did want to say it does help if youdo watch on YouTube even if you’re not watching it, likeif you just play it on the background, even if yougo over to Spotify and listen to this, it is justgood for seek a strength YouTube to watch.Just pay for YouTube premium,watch it instead of Spotify.Some people said they can’t affordit and that’s totally fine.Things are very expensive, extremely expensive ifyou just play this in the background.YouTube loves viewer retention, they love it, the algorithmloves it, they love comments and stuff, but they’vegotten a little bit wise to that.But what YouTube loves, just for anyone who’s regular watchthe videos and like supporting us, watch those videos allthe way through YouTube, they just love it.That’s YouTube’s wet dream.They just love it.Honestly, it is number uno.Speaking of things, loving listening to us, sorry.Now I just want to background you, I just wantedto ease in gently with this one and I justwant to talk about the current conflict in Palestine.Now, what are you going to say?So we have a new puppy at home, right?And I was on the phone the other dayto my missus and she’s like, he’s going mental.And she had to put me on speakerphone for asecond to wrangle the wild dog and next thing thedog just calmed down when he heard my voice.She’s like, oh my God, we needto get a recording of your voice.I said, you don’t need a recording ofmy voice because we have hundreds of podcasts.So now she just plays it to him. No way. Does it work?Yeah, it’s your dulce at Tones.He’s like, he’s another dumbass likeme and it’s just super relaxing. I’m not alone anymore.Another double digit Iqer. Did it really work?Did it really work?Did the sound of your voice actually work? Yeah.She doesn’t do it now though,because he’s getting a bit better.But you know, kudos to you and Ihaven’t said this, but you essentially adopted him.He wasn’t a fresh pup, he’s a rehomer.You know how I feel about turbobreds who aren’t working dogs for pets.I am super against it.I’m actually against to be honest, a lotof people shouldn’t have you’re against happiness?No, a lot of people should not have dogs.No, it’s unfortunate.A lot of people can’t take care of dogs very well.Don’t take care of them, don’t put the effort in.The real unfortunate thing as well is ifyou didn’t have dogs growing up, you’re probablynot going to be a dog person. Yeah.Almost every case I’ve seen where someone’s nota dog person, it’s like, oh, yeah, wenever had a dog growing up.It’s almost always that, which is unfortunate becausepeople can change their stripes, but maybe inthis case, it’s a bit more difficult.There’s a fly on my microphone.I’m always kind of confused a little bit by people whoare unsure about dogs, and it’s like, oh, my god.If you’re really into dogs, you’ve always had dogs.Yeah.And if you’re not a dumbass, you know, if a dogis really friendly and you have a friendly dog, you’re inthe presence of someone who’s unsure about dogs and they’re just,like, really weird about it, and you’re like, can you notsee he’s just mad to love you?It’s so incomprehensible.Like, we’re viewing the worldthrough something totally different here. Yeah.But, you know, they’re not cat people either.There’s some people who are just don’thave they’re just not into it. Yeah.Cat people are very sure of what’s going on,and they don’t want any part of it.Or sometimes they like both, which is cool. That’s cool.But sometimes it’s not right. But it’s good.No, it’s not right.Oh, it’s not right at all.But sometimes you have peoplewho are just like, really?My default position if I see a dog that’s not going todirectly attack me is roll around on the floor with it.Yeah.And that’s how I just feel likeeverybody should be, but people aren’t.I really just, like, talking to every dog.But you just have to be super careful becausesometimes you just don’t know what someone’s dog’s about.Yeah.A lot of times in cities, you’ll notice as well,dogs are a bit more reactive as a term.Yeah, they definitely are.I wonder, is that a socializing thing thatthey don’t get socialized with other dogs?They’re like, it’s a lead to leadinteraction, which is never really ideal.Or is it that they come in from the country,come into the city, it’s a little bit scary, andthere are a lot of stuff happening, very stimulated, andthen any human kind of coming towards them is abit of a bit of what’s your buz?My favorite thing ever is when I stop, clearly Istop to talk to a random person because they havea dog, and I’m like, oh, he’s gorgeous.And the dog is sitting there looking at the owner andlooking at me, being like, can I go to him now? Yeah.And we all know why we’re talking here isbecause I want to rub your dog routinely.I won’t even talk to the person, or I’ll belike, talking to the dog, especially if they come up.It’s a great way of justavoiding the whole conversation 100%.They’ll come up and we should be playingwith the dog and they’ll say something toyou, and you’ll be like, yeah.And only make eye contact with them.Oftentimes people will talk to Buddy andBailey, and I won’t talk to them. I don’t care.I know they don’t want to talk to yeah. Yeah.They just want to talk to the dogs.No, they’re there for an outcome.One thing I don’t like is parents whodon’t guard their children from every dog. Oh my God.Yeah.Even my little puppers.It really annoys me because kids willjust come straight up to them.And on one hand, from the parents pointof view, you don’t know those dogs.Smaller dogs are very often more angry, way angrier.But also, from my point of view, I don’t knowhow much of a dumb ass your kid is.And this is coming from us, who has children.So I’m not some weird jumper.People who hate kids and they don’t have them.I’m not some person who’s like,thank God they don’t have them.I’m just like, I don’t knowwhat your child’s going to do.Kids routinely just grab people are really bad at training dogsand really bad at training their kids to have and also,that’s the thing that a dog is, like, used to, orit’s not used, and it will freak the fuck goat. 100%.Yeah.100%.That’s not just something where innatelyoh, it mightn’t freak out.It’s like, no, that dog’s been aroundkids a lot, or it never has. Yeah.Like, Seiko there, for example, is around loads ofkids who routinely feed her and hang off her.And kids will just push through a dogif they’re the same height as the dog.Don’t give a fuck. All kids do this.It’s like a natural reaction. Yeah. Get out of my way.It’s just so funny.It’s just like this.And it’s the cutest thing ever, obviously, becausethe dog is like, oh my gosh.But that feeling me feelslike that’s a coevolutionary thing.Kids and dogs have evolved. Yeah.It’s adorable.It’s a super adorable.Seeing them, like, potteringaround the kitchen together.They’re all picking up food off the floor.Nobody knows what’s going on, butthey know they want food.It’s adorable.Do you know what I it’s a sensitive subject, butyou know, when the war in the Middle East, youknow, a small dog attacks a kid or something. Yeah.Very unfortunate, obviously.And people are like, and I never saw it coming.And you’re like, I feel like you’re one ofthose dog owners who you just weren’t paying attention.Obviously you weren’t paying attention.I got attacked when I was a kid,and it was like, I blame you.Super diligent dog owner, super well trained dog.Just bang.Yeah, there’s definitely those exceptionswhere no, there’s definitely exceptions.It’s probably unfair thing to say. Sorry.Shanghaelis has a great bit where he says I looklike the kind of person where I say, let’s justsee the body cam footage before he comes.And I’m definitely that way with dogs, if Ihear somebody getting bitten or whatever the incident is,I’m always like, that dog is probably treated likeshit, or whatever the situation was.But there is definitely I have ascare in my head to prove it.I blame you for that interaction, though.And I know two and a half years old,I know the owner blames you for that interaction.The owner just hates me now.No, I totally agree with him. He should blame you.It’s your fault.He loves he’s had 25 dogs since but hesaid still, he said the she was unbelievable.Was it or something?Very good point there.Yeah, look, obviously it’s terrible when kidsget attacked, and I’m not blaming thechildren there at all, actually.It is entirely the parents fault.It’s not the dog’s fault, it’s not the kids.You see that XL bully thingthat’s being banned in the UK? No.They’re banning those XL bullies, the bulldogs.And there’s people literally protesting, which, you knowwhat, a lot of them are getting stigmatizedof a certain brand of British person.And you can guess.I can see that look in yourface, and I know what you’re doing. Come on.They’re not listening to this podcast.You don’t need that dog.Who doesn’t need that dog? Nobody. Who?They don’t who’s day you mean day people?They who’s day people?They don’t need those dogs. What are you talking about?Why do you have an attack dog?Yeah, so come on.I can’t own an MP5 submachine gun. Yeah, you can’t.You could actually get one if youcould justify no, not fully automatic.You could get one.I could get one, yeah.I can’t legally own one.You could definitely justify that to your super. WWW.ARMINIC.COM Fair.Not a fully automatic.You bet you could. You can’t.You tell me YouTube, okay, I can’t owna bazooka in Ireland, and that’s acceptable.I can own other firearms, I can ownother exploding things, but I can’t own abazooka because everyone says, okay, it’s grand.You own the other things.The other things are nice, but a bazooka is too fair.Nobody needs fucking Belgian Malinois attack dog.It’s like, yeah, I’m going to train it andI’ll walk it every day and it’ll be great. Yeah.Do you know what?In fairness to some of they people,some of them are great at training.Belgian Balinois is the worst case in that becauseonly people who are like dog trainers buy them.That’s the thing.I would say pit bull, mastiffs, all those.They people usually don’t train them. No.That’s the problem, though. Yeah.There’s a lot of tax thisyear, wasn’t there, in the UK?I think they’re going to banthem in Ireland now as well.Yeah, it’s always the way with those kind of rules.There’s a couple of dog breeds already bannedin Ireland have to have public muzzles. Yeah.I have no problem with public muzzles.I think that’s a good idea. Yeah.The problem with that is there’s no repairingthe situation if it gets too far.If you get to find where something’s bit a childis bitten by bully, it’s like can’t put the muzzleon after it’s taken a kid’s face off. No.So the muzzle on first is it is horrific as well.Dog attacks 100%.Just a little piece of advice for anyone.Hopefully it never happens, but if you ever, ever trying to breakup a dog and a person, or a dog and a dogis don’t grab them by the scruff of the neck.You grab them by their back legs and pull away. Okay?And then you just bite them on the hair.People’s automatic reaction is to go hand first in betweenwhatever size dogs it is, and it might be yourown dog that might bite you or something.Legs first.The problem is as well, is if you’re used totaking things off the dog, you’ll push down this muzzleand you’ll push their lips into their teeth. Yes.But if a dog’s already lashed onsomething, that doesn’t matter at all.You can rip their lips off and nothing will happen. No.If they’re in that kind of frenzy.You know what I really hate is when people arelike, they gave their dog anxiety, basically, or they aremanifesting or imagining that their dog is anxiety.They’ll give their dog a full on chronicillness, but they give them anti anxiety medication.You have a fucking Doberman or you have a huskylocked up all day in fucking Los Angeles, in thecity, in the baking heat, and you’re wondering why hehates his life and that’s why you’re giving him Xanax.Honestly now, you cannot be medicating dogs likethat dog wants to burn 10,000 calories worthof raw heart and elk liver a day. Yeah.Butter blood, 100%.It doesn’t want to go that.Just wants to go with its boys.Funny story about muzzles, right? Yeah.Sweet of golden Lab when I was growing up.Shera the princess of power fromsome fucking from He Man. He man. Yes. I knew that.Ringo Bell.So she RA was like the greatest dog ever.Like, what came before Seiko,the exact same dog, essentially.And we used to always play footballoutside, so kicking around the soccer ball.But as you know, labs just love chasing everything.It’s in their nature, you might say.So there’d be like six or eightof us lads kicking a football around.She would get out of the house, bang,straight over, pick up the ball, ball gone.And that was the best game ever becauseshe’s running around, like, nosing the ball around.So then my mom’s like, oh, justget her a soft muzzle, Joe.One of those fabric ones, like a sock thatgoes over the nose, but the end is open. Okay.She’s put it on, but then the dog got waytoo good at playing football with the muzzle on.So then we were like, the dog has to stay on chart.No way. Yeah.They’re so fast.And once they get the hang ofkeeping their nose behind the know yeah.They’re just like, bumping it along, running around.Cannot you could not get the ball off the dog. No way.Oh, unbelievable.Do you know what I was thinking?I’ve actually thought about this before, is when you seedogs doing like, tricks or axe or like Britain’s GotTalent or something, the dogs never mess up.They are so good at skill development.If you could figure out what is ina dog’s brain, imagine giving that to athletesto be that precise and accurate.It’s incredible.See, I think the big thing with adog is that that’s all that’s in there. Yeah.There’s no autonomous function, really.In some cases, for those things,it is only autonomous function. Sorry.It’s entirely automatic for those particular things.Yeah, it’s just that’s all thatexists in that dog’s head.It’s just like whatever you’re training for.Or like with Murphy, the new puppy.Murphy was like the first night we methim, he was just like, running out acrossthis grass place, just got a scent.So he’s sprinting full pace for Vishla, whichis pretty fast, roots his nose into theground, just like, glues the nose.But obviously all four legs inhis entire body keep moving.So he just does like a front flip, lands onhis back and then gets back up, comes and putshis nose back in that place, in the ground again.Are you going to try trainingin regards to retrieval or anything? For deer? Yeah.No, it’s not worth it. Maybe.The thing is, deer retrieval is very, very simple.Even if it’s like a long shot deer and itgoes like a single long and it might go 150meters, you really don’t need to train them.You just put a long lead on it.You keep them on the thing.And if they’ve tracked deer or been around deerbefore and they know what the scent they’re lookingfor is, they’ll just follow in there.The thing is, with us in our situations isthe only way you couldn’t retrieve a deer isif it’s gone somewhere you can’t go.So if the dog can’t go there, you can’t really get it.There’s very rare circumstances.I could see it being handy if there was, like,people who were out shooting with us and took likea heart shot on a deer or a long shot,like any body shot, not a head or neck shot,but how often do those people ever come out? Jesus.Thought of a body shotis absolutely repulsive on purpose.It actually would feel wrong. It is wrong. It is.It’s wrong.Your rifle can do it.No, not every rifle. Yeah.If you spend the right amount of money, which isn’t a lotof money, and get the correct rifle in the correct caliber, youcan head and neck shoot a day or no water.Yeah, especially neck.Shooting headshoting is a bit of a different kindof headshoting is a bit different, but neck definitelyon the dog thing, do you get any, like,breed or what do they call them?Basically a passport or kind of a breeder’s passport.Do you ever get that? Like their papers?Yeah, papers, that’s the word.Yeah, we have his papers. Yeah, we do.We got like a folder with him because he’s froma breeder where your brother got his V shat.Do you see their and I love thisis their reverse breeding, some of the pugs,getting them better, which I think is fantastic. 100%.Yeah, I think that stuff is repulsive.It is disgusting.It’s inbred, literally, you’re invalidating something.It’s disgusting.I hate it.It’s something I’ve, for years, I’vealways thought is like 100%.It’s genuine repulsive to me.And that’s for the working dogs.So this is Irish Kennel clubregistered for those working dogs.Those breeds are kept very in tune.I think it was around 20 years ago,black Labs got a bit of some pointerbred through them to improve their hip scores.That’s why Black Labs generally tend to be more slender anda bit more wiry than Golden Lab or Brown Labs.Like those a lot of chocolate labs are heavier framed.Okay.They are actually stickies.So the kennel clubs keep on top ofthose for the working breed, for the toybreed, it’s like crazy, like pogs, like Chihuahuas.Yeah, you don’t see a lot of it in Ireland, really.The only thing you see is the French bulldogs, andthere’s a lot of those, but they’re an interesting onebecause their metabolic health seems to be okay.A lot of them have, like, skinny waists.You can see the outline of the ribs.There’s very distinct space underneath the ribs betweenthat and their kind of their belly navel. Yeah.Anywhere down there.But the breeding then, obviously, is a massiveissue with them, which is so unfair.The British bulldog is another onethat’s a bit of a disgrace. Jesus Christ.Yeah, it’s just inbreeding.Have you ever seen some of the olderpictures of a lot of those breeds? Oh, yes.Pugs had, like, a fairly pronounced snout like that’s.What? They’re bringing them back.The people doing that are such so commendable for them.Absolutely.The price of French bulldogs there fora while was ridiculous as well. It was crazy.Bishelas are. WWW.ARMINIC.COM A pup.Good working dog, I suppose, though.But no one works with them in rainley in Ireland.No, they’re good in big open ground. Yes.Like big stubble fields and stuff.They’d be a great pointer, but they’re soft outin they’re not Irish shooting dogs really are Springers,but the vista would be great with the colds.Like they’re too skinny. No.And he wouldn’t even know he’s too cold. No.We do have a jacket for him.Is the most hilarious thing ever.Please tell him it’s a hoodie.No, it’s like a puffy jacket. No way.It’s pretty hilarious.Do you have to put his hands into it?No, it’s like a flap wrapsaround underneath it and covers up.So funny, because you would have been like,I’d never put a jacket on my puppy.I probably said this on the podcast.I probably said something like, I’d neverown a dog that has a jacket.No, Murph has a jacket on.Murph has his little jacket on.He wears it in the woods if it’s cold. Yeah.Well, what a fickle.When we first learned to deceive Derek yeah, I know.He said your full name there.And let the secret my God.Dare Fitzmurf. Yeah. Joe.It’s just another learning moment.Interesting.I’m glad it’s all on record.I’ve besmirched people who’ve hadjackets on dogs before besmirched.You said it loads of times.Yeah, but you know it’s a dogwhen he’s shivering in front of you.Was he shivering?Yeah, he gets cold.He’s made of penis skin that’s hair colored.He is pretty metabolically active. Yeah.He gets fed like, three or four times a day.Meat and nuts and then an egg or some cod.Live royal.And he’s just, like, hoovers it down.Gets going straight away. Shits.15 times a day. Fuck. Yeah.The weather recently has been a bit weird, isn’t it?We were only talking about this weird.It’s Sunday.20 degrees last night.Sunday was 22 degrees. Yeah.And for anyone who’s in our kind of latitude will obviouslyknow that 22 degrees in the first week of October.Is that’s all wrong? It’s all wrong.It was like a summer’s evening on Sunday. Yeah.Sunday was nicer than most of August and July.Yeah, 100%.It’s so fucked up. Yeah.We’re about to start shooting thosehere in a few weeks.Do you know what’s really fucked up?Is that those ticks are out therejust multiplying in this beautiful weather.Those deer.I shudder to think of the ticks and the grass.There’s still so much foliage. Foliage.It’s everywhere.And they’re just frick.They’re just jumping from one thing to yeah.The deer is starting to rushand it’s just passing everywhere.And they are thinking of Dara Fitz, and theyare thinking, can we give him another lines?I’m, like, destroyed in midge bites atthe moment, just from being outside.Are you midgets?I haven’t got one midge bite. Yet.I just don’t understand it.It doesn’t make any sense.I was in Paris at theweekend and there’s a bedbug infestation.Did they bite you?No, there’s no bedbugs in Paris.Test the bedbugs at bit dara.It’s an absolute it’s just like a viral news story.I thought it was all over the train.You were sending me things.Africa was sending me things oflike, the bedbug infestation gets worse.And there was even pictures in some articles.There’s no bugs.I think some school kids had it, butcertainly if you’re like staying in a hotel,it’s not going to be a problem.Did you like Paris?Yeah, Paris is a bit go onthe middle of paris is really nice.Stad de France.Absolutely amazing.The rugby match itself, theIreland versus Scotland match.Probably one of the bestsporting events I’ve ever been.I would, yeah. That’s class.I’d say one of the best sporting events ever.I’d been at phenomenal strip clubs.No strip clubs for the lads, but except for you.They’re my dad.How was the coke?We did yeah.It was an amazing game. Right.Great to see the Scotlandfans eating their pants afterwards.A lot of mouthy.Scotland people behind us was there. Yeah.Scots get on great with Irish people.We’re very similar.These boys had a bit too much beer on boardand a lot of talk, a lot of cockiness.And then two minutes into the first half, Troy runs in.Joe Colin have to know they’re not that good at rugby.They’re ranked number fifth in the world.They are that good.They’re just not the best.They’re not that good.But Girth, they’re a good rugby team.They’re ranked ahead of England.Yeah, but Portugal beat Fiji, and weknow Portugal are better than know.So Scotland are a very good rugby team.They’re just not the best rugby team.They’re not the best rugby team.It’s unfortunate that there’s possibility.So this World Cup, right?So for the quarterfinals, just how it happened with theseeding, you have the four best teams in the worldare going to play in two of the quarterfinal matchesand then four, call them bog standard teams are goingto play on the other side.So before you get to semifinal rugby, twopossible World Cup winning teams are gone.It’s crazy, isn’t it? Crazy. Yeah.Terrible seeding.Could you have changed an es if they had?Definitely could have.Some seek a pre workout.Those teams would be honest.Yeah, there should have been a change, but England canconceivably get to a World Cup final, which that Englishteam is the worst it’s been in 20 years.I’d say definitely the worst it’s been in a long time.Yeah. Really, really bad.And it’s not their fault, obviously. It’s weird.The team seems a bit different.I’d love to know the percentage of the team thatare still there now from the last world cup.There’s a lot of lads still knocking around.They were semi final. Who did they play?Was it the All Blacks in the semifinal last?I think it was the All Blacks they lostin the semifinal in the last World Cup.I can’t remember.Was that four years ago?That’s crazy.I remember watching that in Kerry, butthat English team was they weren’t unbelievableat rugby, but they were a presence.They were good at winning games as well, though.There’s a lot of lads benching 405,that kind of thing going on. Yeah.There’s a lot of boys who’dbe avoiding pissing into cups.That World Cup was probably oneof the juiciest world Cups.The ones just gone. Yeah.One on there was pretty juicy.It is pretty juicier.Remember for a while they were like, no, it’sgoing to go back to the smaller, faster rugby.And the All Black stride it, and it’s like, nah.And Buddhiaki showed up and he’s like,no, he looks bigger than ever.He looks literally every game, Iswear to God, he’s getting bigger.That Irish team at themoment, they’re physically impressive.It’s the most physically impressive theIrish team has ever been. Yeah. Really?It’s really pushing the limits of what’spossible to have on a team. Yeah.No, it’s of Caucasian males.They’re in phenomenal shape.No, they’re very strong.They are very strong. Yeah.They’re very fit as well as well as strong.Good at recovering. Yeah.They seem to maintain alert.People get injured now, that’s like a sixmonth injury, and they’re back in four weeks.They seem to maintain match alertnessthrough the whole 80 minutes.So like, their intercession recoveryseems to be very high. Very high.Their tolerance of a workload, you might say.Is it’s like they’re better never yeah,their apparent session cost is so low.Yeah, you might say that.We do see, actually, a lot of ligament andtendon injuries as opposed to other injuries currently.If you were to take a small observer bike, theycan just make those go away as well, though.Make those go away as well.They just send them back to Irelandfor a few weeks and they’re gone. Isn’t it amazing?All the options out know of like, red light therapy?Red light therapy? Yeah.Those little acupuncture mats that you lie on.Puffy boots. Puffy boots, yeah.Normatex red light face mat.I think I just got a midge bite in the studio.Stainless steel, cold rub things.Oh, the scrapers.Scraping, yeah, scraping.Amazed on how fast they can repair.Generally, a soft tissue that takes aspraying ankle can take something up totwelve months for a full recovery.And they might have like a rupture ofa tendon, maybe Achilles attendant, and you mightsee someone back in like four weeks.Or maybe a partial rupture. Partial tear?Like a little partial tear.A little partial tear, like not anultimate the bone is still there. No.And like, there’s a bit of tendon or ligamentsstill attached and they just seem to be backto get back up on that horse VAT readiness.But you know what?They’re dead right, Supple.They’re dead right.We had Kelly Starris on the podcast yesterday,and I got to admit, that was oneof the most surreal experiences that happened.Absolutely.Obviously, this whole thing is a mental.A lot of podcasts.We finish up and I’m like, oh, that was great show. WWW.ARMINIC.COM A pup.Good working dog, I suppose, though.But no one works with them in rainley in Ireland.No, they’re good in big open ground. Yes.Like big stubble fields and stuff.They’d be a great pointer, but they’re soft outin they’re not Irish shooting dogs really are Springers,but the vista would be great with the colds.Like they’re too skinny. No.And he wouldn’t even know he’s too cold. No.We do have a jacket for him.Is the most hilarious thing ever.Please tell him it’s a hoodie.No, it’s like a puffy jacket. No way.It’s pretty hilarious.Do you have to put his hands into it?No, it’s like a flap wrapsaround underneath it and covers up.So funny, because you would have been like,I’d never put a jacket on my puppy.I probably said this on the podcast.I probably said something like, I’d neverown a dog that has a jacket.No, Murph has a jacket on.Murph has his little jacket on.He wears it in the woods if it’s cold. Yeah.Well, what a fickle.When we first learned to deceive Derek yeah, I know.He said your full name there.And let the secret my God.Dare Fitzmurf. Yeah. Joe.It’s just another learning moment.Interesting.I’m glad it’s all on record.I’ve besmirched people who’ve hadjackets on dogs before besmirched.You said it loads of times.Yeah, but you know it’s a dogwhen he’s shivering in front of you.Was he shivering?Yeah, he gets cold.He’s made of penis skin that’s hair colored.He is pretty metabolically active. Yeah.He gets fed like, three or four times a day.Meat and nuts and then an egg or some cod.Live royal.And he’s just, like, hoovers it down.Gets going straight away. Shits.15 times a day. Fuck. Yeah.The weather recently has been a bit weird, isn’t it?We were only talking about this weird.It’s Sunday.20 degrees last night.Sunday was 22 degrees. Yeah.And for anyone who’s in our kind of latitude will obviouslyknow that 22 degrees in the first week of October.Is that’s all wrong? It’s all wrong.It was like a summer’s evening on Sunday. Yeah.Sunday was nicer than most of August and July.Yeah, 100%.It’s so fucked up. Yeah.We’re about to start shooting thosehere in a few weeks.Do you know what’s really fucked up?Is that those ticks are out therejust multiplying in this beautiful weather.Those deer.I shudder to think of the ticks and the grass.There’s still so much foliage. Foliage.It’s everywhere.And they’re just frick.They’re just jumping from one thing to yeah.The deer is starting to rushand it’s just passing everywhere.And they are thinking of Dara Fitz, and theyare thinking, can we give him another lines?I’m, like, destroyed in midge bites atthe moment, just from being outside.Are you midgets?I haven’t got one midge bite. Yet.I just don’t understand it.It doesn’t make any sense.I was in Paris at theweekend and there’s a bedbug infestation.Did they bite you?No, there’s no bedbugs in Paris.Test the bedbugs at bit dara.It’s an absolute it’s just like a viral news story.I thought it was all over the train.You were sending me things.Africa was sending me things oflike, the bedbug infestation gets worse.And there was even pictures in some articles.There’s no bugs.I think some school kids had it, butcertainly if you’re like staying in a hotel,it’s not going to be a problem.Did you like Paris?Yeah, Paris is a bit go onthe middle of paris is really nice.Stad de France.Absolutely amazing.The rugby match itself, theIreland versus Scotland match.Probably one of the bestsporting events I’ve ever been.I would, yeah. That’s class.I’d say one of the best sporting events ever.I’d been at phenomenal strip clubs.No strip clubs for the lads, but except for you.They’re my dad.How was the coke?We did yeah.It was an amazing game. Right.Great to see the Scotlandfans eating their pants afterwards.A lot of mouthy.Scotland people behind us was there. Yeah.Scots get on great with Irish people.We’re very similar.These boys had a bit too much beer on boardand a lot of talk, a lot of cockiness.And then two minutes into the first half, Troy runs in.Joe Colin have to know they’re not that good at rugby.They’re ranked number fifth in the world.They are that good.They’re just not the best.They’re not that good.But Girth, they’re a good rugby team.They’re ranked ahead of England.Yeah, but Portugal beat Fiji, and weknow Portugal are better than know.So Scotland are a very good rugby team.They’re just not the best rugby team.They’re not the best rugby team.It’s unfortunate that there’s possibility.So this World Cup, right?So for the quarterfinals, just how it happened with theseeding, you have the four best teams in the worldare going to play in two of the quarterfinal matchesand then four, call them bog standard teams are goingto play on the other side.So before you get to semifinal rugby, twopossible World Cup winning teams are gone.It’s crazy, isn’t it? Crazy. Yeah.Terrible seeding.Could you have changed an es if they had?Definitely could have.Some seek a pre workout.Those teams would be honest.Yeah, there should have been a change, but England canconceivably get to a World Cup final, which that Englishteam is the worst it’s been in 20 years.I’d say definitely the worst it’s been in a long time.Yeah. Really, really bad.And it’s not their fault, obviously. It’s weird.The team seems a bit different.I’d love to know the percentage of the team thatare still there now from the last world cup.There’s a lot of lads still knocking around.They were semi final. Who did they play?Was it the All Blacks in the semifinal last?I think it was the All Blacks they lostin the semifinal in the last World Cup.I can’t remember.Was that four years ago?That’s crazy.I remember watching that in Kerry, butthat English team was they weren’t unbelievableat rugby, but they were a presence.They were good at winning games as well, though.There’s a lot of lads benching 405,that kind of thing going on. Yeah.There’s a lot of boys who’dbe avoiding pissing into cups.That World Cup was probably oneof the juiciest world Cups.The ones just gone. Yeah.One on there was pretty juicy.It is pretty juicier.Remember for a while they were like, no, it’sgoing to go back to the smaller, faster rugby.And the All Black stride it, and it’s like, nah.And Buddhiaki showed up and he’s like,no, he looks bigger than ever.He looks literally every game, Iswear to God, he’s getting bigger.That Irish team at themoment, they’re physically impressive.It’s the most physically impressive theIrish team has ever been. Yeah. Really?It’s really pushing the limits of what’spossible to have on a team. Yeah.No, it’s of Caucasian males.They’re in phenomenal shape.No, they’re very strong.They are very strong. Yeah.They’re very fit as well as well as strong.Good at recovering.

Isn’t it amazing?All the options out know of like, red light therapy?Red light therapy? Yeah.Those little acupuncture mats that you lie on.Puffy boots.

WWW.ARMINIC.COM Great conversation, so much great information.I really enjoyed that last hour and a half or 2 hours.Kelly I got off it and I was like, fuck, the onlyperson I can remember is the first time talking to yes.Yeah.And I was like, Jesus Christ. That was cool.Kelly was kind of surreal, though, because he wasliterally the first YouTuber, first one of two YouTubersthat I watched when I started this whole thingin like 2008 or nine or something.Like, no, I was still inschool watching Kelly Starhead videos.Ross Enamite, Katie Taylor’s, strength conditioncoach who wasn’t at the time.He had Rosstraining.com.He had some YouTube and Kelly had YouTube.And that was it. That was it.Clarence then had a YouTube after, and they were likethe three people on YouTube who I used to watch.Yeah, now you’ve just so manydifferent people with millions of subscribers.But watching Kelly literally 1012 years ago, 14years ago, and then interviewing him on apodcast this long later, this length of timeafter it happened, it’s so strange.It’s bizarre.He couldn’t be further away from us.He’s on the west coast of the States.Like, it’s so strange.Goncho Tsujiki was obviously pretty crazy, but there’ssomething about Kelly Stroud, because he was likethe first person to interact with us orthe first person I was kind of watching. Absolutely.He influenced a load of the injury, rehab andprehab stuff, not only as me as an individualand a coach, but just in the industry.Yeah, 100%, I think, especially when Istarted coaching across the gyms and shadowing.Your first interaction with being a coach forme is you mop the floors at agym and then you shadow coach classes.Then after a few weeks of shadowing,you might take the warm up.And so after a few weeks of taking thewarm up, or you know, you’re going to bedoing the warm ups, you start planning them.And I remember looking at Kelly’s videos beinglike, yeah, we’re going to do that today.I’m going to use this.We don’t have foam rollers for everyone,so we’re going to do this instead.And then obviously, you set yourself apartbecause that warm up is better.It’s crazy.Kelly’s there from the start.I remember the first time I did astretch and I got rid of knee pain.My mind was, you have to imagine this is18 months in or probably a year in orsomething, and it was a couch stretch.And he was like, don’t just look at the site.He was like one of the first people to talk about that.Look upstream and downstream.If your knee is sore, it might beyour calf, it might be your hip. Look at something else.Look above it and around it.See if there’s any issues.And I had knee pain on oneside and I was like, fuck it.I’ll stretch my hip or whatever, an instantremoval of the knee pain after, I thinktwo or three bouts of that stretch inone evening in front, literally on the couch.And my mind was like, yeah, it’s crazy.I’d love to know what it’d be likestarting up now, being younger and starting now.I’d love to know what it wouldbe like because it was barren. It was barren.The crazy thing now is I feel like if you putyour mind to it for four months out, like if youhad a career ending injury in your previous sport now, andyou went for four months, yeah, you know, you’d gain allthe knowledge it took me eight years to gain.It’s amazing.I hope we’re contributing to that, I think.I hope so.That’s one of the big things thatit does is contributing to practical knowledge.And it’s unfortunate.There’s a lot of people who still put outa lot of shit knowledge, just to be clear.But I really hope we’re making a differencein terms of putting out knowledge that Iwish we knew that long ago.Like, that stuff, it just was not available.Plenty of individuals knew that stuff.But making YouTube podcasts weren’t even a thing.No, you could not access that.You could read journals.You could read books, and then you hadto implement that yourself, and even those books.So journals.You weren’t just Google Scholaring.You couldn’t you couldn’t like that didn’t happen.I remember books like sports physiology books that mymom would have brought home from her college. Yes.And looking through those and beinglike, oh, that’s really cool.Force velocity curves. That’s mad.I never, ever think of that.That was not available.And now you go, force velocity curve.There’s 15 great videos, and you watch two ofthem, and you know, most of it, you couldn’teven find an author you would like.But now you watch someone, you watch Secret Strength,and we bring out our squat book, and you’relike, I’m going to read that because I likethe lads and I know what they’re about.Then you just might have Googled the book.You might have come across the book somewhere,and you’ve known nothing about the author.You read the blurb and you see all their proposedclaims, and then you have to read that book andfigure out if that information was actually useful.What a terrible system for findinginformation and passing on horrendous, forpassing practical information along.It was a terrible you’d think you might say youmight reminisce and be like, no, it was better.We all had to read those books.No, it’s not. It’s terrible. It’s really not.Another area where this really happensis in shooting, like rifle shooting.There’s a book in there, like, Fundamentals ofCenter Fire, rifle Mercks and Ship or something.I’ve read 50 of those.Like 50 books on gunsmithing,rifle accuracy, all this shite.What matters now, I could probably tellyou in 4 hours, and that’s it.Why haven’t you told me?The problem with this is, and we touchedon with Kelly a little bit, is thatunfortunately, everyone feels like they’re an expert now.And Kelly was talking about this, andhe was saying, you don’t understand.So we’re talking about comments.And one of the things he got a littlebit of backlash because he had knee surgery.Imagine he had knee surgery.That means his stuff doesn’t work.So we talked about that yesterday becausethe subject kind of came up naturally.And we were talking beforehand, and I waslike, think it’s rude to approach that?And we were like, look, we’ll just have to see howit plays out and see what he thinks about it.And we’re talking about it.And he said, now, unfortunately, everyone feelslike they’re an expert because they havesome of this cursory knowledge.And he was like, you don’t understand thatwe spend every day thinking about this stuff.Every single day. He’s like, I’ll click on a guy’sprofile and he’ll be working construction.They’ll tell him why his knee rehab issue is wrong.And he’s like, you don’t understand.I think about this every day.I’ve worked with athletes for literally decades.I’ve thought about this for this is all I think about.I spend every day thinking about you interact.The only people you interact with are peoplewho think about this all day long.And they’ve only thought about it for 15 years.All day long, nothing else.And this dude with cursory information on somethingwill just tell you you’re flat out wrong.And now it’s really funny, butit could also be very infuriating.And he literally said, he said, it actuallysometimes makes me want to stop doing stuffonline because it’s so annoying that you’ll justget people being like, no, that’s wrong.And you’re like, it’s actually sohard to convey to them.And I think this is really funny becausewe’re reading the comments on Clarence’s latest videowhere we basically went over Clarence’s squat.And actually I’m going to pull up the commentbecause this is a funny thing to read, right?So we’re talking about Clarence’s squat in this video.I don’t know if you saw it.And Clarence asked I haven’t seen the video.No, Clarence well, you were there. I was there.You were there in Japan.And Clarence asked for he wants to make a video, justcritiquing his squat and see what he could do better.And Clarence knows his squat is the way itis because of some knee injuries that weren’t causedby the squatting he was doing, but was causedby the volume and load he was doing.So he changed his squat and heknew it needed to be better.And Clarence has asked us talk through whatwe think would be better about his squat.And there’s people literally in the video.And this is verbatim, the stuff used verbatim, thecomments used, how much mental gymnastics people use.And this is someone made a comment saying, but this isthe problem, is that this person is allowed to comment.I get it right?I love comments.I love comment sections.I love everyone giving their bit.But where does this come from?Clarence himself understands that the mechanics ofhis squat changed because he injured himselfand he wanted to keep squatting.It comes from two mistakes followed directly on fromeach other, and now he has to continue squattinglike this because this is the way he’s developed.I don’t think Clarence thinks thisis how everyone should squat.In fact, I know it’s not that Clarence thinks this,but yet you get people clinging on like their clammylittle fucking baby hands are clinging on to this.This is how we should do it. But it’s crazy.It’s like your squad is fine.The way you already perform is your squad looksa lot cooler than their Smith machine form advice. WWW.ARMINIC.COM Plus, you have a very short torso. Commit your femurs.That’s not true.So heavy weight will shift into your past series chaindespite using squat shoes or having very strong quads.That’s not true.Also, your legs are pushing your torso more upright asthey get pushed into your chest due to extreme depth.That’s not true.Which makes you’re more upright at the bottomof forming your squats the way you are. Also not true.They aren’t squatting anywhere near deep, sothey don’t have personal experience with that.That’s not true.Only thing you could do is minimize hip flexion.Long femurs like that.He doesn’t have long femur. Sorry?Clarence does not have long femurs.Clarence is incredibly well built for squatting. Yeah.If you look at the original videos, look at Clarence.265 by five paused. Yes.Lovely squats.Because he’s well built for squatting andbecause he’s incredibly good at it.If you go back before he hadthe knee injury 245 by five video.Yeah, such nice squats.No, but if you go back to the firsttime, he like, squatted like 260 or something.But then someone replies, the wholeperfect angle thing is stupid.Gravity is never consistent, andneither is the flooring.Pushing for constant angle lead to more pain.What the fuck are you talking about?But also, constant angle of what?Constant angle of your torso in relation to the floor.Yeah.What are you talking which meansthe flooring is never constant.Also, gravity is literally likesorry, gravity on Earth? Yes.Assuming minor, minor changes in your altitude andyour distance from the center of the Earth.Yeah, gravity is a constant.It’s literally in engineering, we’ll use the gravitationallike, we’ll use a constant number minus 9.81,blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, to five decimalpoints because we know it’s consistent enough.Gravity is always the fucking same, lads. It’s crazy.The mental gymnastics.And I know, look, that’s like five out of150 comments or something, but it really is justsomething at this stage we laugh about, but itis something where you could be driven mad.Yeah, I think it’s the mental gymnastics is crazy.I know a guy who is coaching people.Not an S c.Coach, but, like, a PT person.And I met him coaching some people in the gymof a sports club I used to go to.And we’ll try and keep it as vague aspossible so people don’t think they know this person.But anyway, he was coaching a few people, and Iwalked in and I was doing SNC for a teamup there at the time, and he was holding aplate of they were holding plates above their heads withbent elbows and bent arms like this. Right?So I’m not extending my arms fully upwards.I’m not keeping my arms straight.I’m not keeping my wrist straight.And his rationale was that when our arms arebent like this, there’s less risk of injury whenholding the weight because the muscle tendon units aretaking the pressure and it’s not the joints themselves.Then I had a brief conversation with himabout leverage and how basic leverage worked andwhere muscle tendon units inserted onto the bonesand he’s still getting grasp it.And I think that’s the problem is, firstly, nobody’staking these people aside and trying to explain anythingbecause that person’s probably some fucking loser.He’s in his mom’s basement or he might be, whatever.He could be a doctor.No understanding of strength training,no understanding of biomechanics.And now they have this notion in theirhead, they have a few conversations with themselves.Maybe they’ve never even thought deeply aboutit, but maybe they’re very personally investedin the personality of Clarence.And so they comment that, but trying toexplain that to someone is so infuriating.But I don’t understand.It literally is incomprehensible to me why they wouldbe so attached to the way Clarence squats.It does not make any sense.Clarence himself was like, oh, I justwant to change my squat form.And it literally was just something like, I think Ineed to make it a bit better or whatever, orget it back to the way it used to know.It’s so strange that there’s more thanone, there’s more than zero people reallyattached to the way he’s squatting.That is insane.Clarence is trying to improve on something.Regardless, if we said it, if anyone else said it,they were like, oh, there’s probably a better way.You could hire bar squat that would bemore appropriate for loading or more efficient.And it’s just mind blowing that people areso attached to the way he squats.It’s actually kind of so imagine if yousaid to someone who was completely unrelated tothe fitness industry or had a peripheral knowledgeand you were like, you know, back squatting?And they’re like, yeah, so there’s loads of peoplewho are like, really like the way he doesthis, but he’s still doing a back squat.And they’ll get really mad at you ifyou say to do it a different way.Imagine how I’m sure there’s psychologists who’d belike, can you come here and we’ll havea little chat for a second?I just want to get a little I wantto understand what’s going what’s your date of birth?Yeah.Can just pull you out a mini clipboard outof nowhere and be like, yeah, what’s that one?That’s really interesting.Why did you think like that?The cult, like, following thing is really weird?Because Clarence really doesn’t like that.No, he hates it. Yeah.It really makes him very uncomfortable.Same reason public appearancesmake him very uncomfortable.Same reason he doesn’t do seminars,he doesn’t do meetups with people.But yet Karen draws more ofthose people in than anyone else.And they’re the weirdest.Not weirdest.They’re the most extreme version of yeah, from what youknow, kind of a new Clarence Kennedy is your man.Sam Suleck.Have you following him or you have showed you?Yeah, he’s someone who is loadsof people are using for clickbait.And to be honest, now that we bring him up,I’ll probably throw him in the thumbnail of this.But what I didn’t really like is he’s getting a lot ofhate for a while because I think he’s like 21 or 22.Okay.And he’s using a lot of form sensing drugs andare presumably using a lot of form sensing drugs.He doesn’t talk about it from whatI know, but he is Natty Denier.I don’t think he denies being Natty either,but he’s very clearly an enhanced athlete.Or if you were to use estimations or probability, you’dsay there’s a good probability that the wind is blowingin terms of fucking trend and he’s out of breathand stuff and he might have just finished posing, hemight have just finished posing or something and he’d beeven more out of breath.And people like Greg Duchy Shed are making videos andthe comments are like, he’s going to die soon.And first of all, I think his rise to fameis so interesting because loads of people identified him.There’s loads of young people, specifically young men.I would say a large base of his support isyounger men, probably between the ages of like 15 to24, if I had to guess his YouTube demographics.Yeah, I’d put 15 to 21, probably.Ours is like 15 to 35 is a large proportion.And we’ve got a couple of few 50 year olds. Yeah.Still getting after it.I love to see it.Yeah, we’ve got people who are either likekind of career professionals and they’re working andthey’re living and they’ve got life to liveand they’re all trying to improve on know,and it’s a lot of younger athletes too.But Sam’s, I would imagine, if I had to guess,is a very young population and they are on thatjourney with him, which I think is great, but theykind of hate he was getting is so interesting interms of people were really concerned for his health, butthey were like, annoyed at him.I don’t really get that.I don’t know why you’d bemad at someone for doing this.He wasn’t telling these other people to take steroids.He wasn’t saying you have to be this big.He is literally just documenting his training, making afuck ton of money, I hope, from it.I hope he’s rolling in cash.I hope in five years time he stops training.He’s like, yeah, I own a ranch in NorthCarolina now and just going to stay there forever.But he doesn’t call out anyone.He doesn’t talk shit, anyone’s methods.Plenty of people have critiqued his training.We literally were looking at a Renaissanceperiodization video that’s nearly a million views.Mike isratel talking about his training.I actually didn’t listen if it was even good or bad.I just had to click through.Just interested in the metrics, to be honest.But it’s so interesting.He’s kind of like an Andrew Tate ofthe fitness industry currently in some fashion, onlyin terms of the amount of hate hegets, because he does nothing inflammatory.It’s so strange.Like, Andrew hate. Andrew hate.Andrew hate.Andrew Tate only did nothing.There was nothing useful.He did like, he just did clickbait.He just said things in interviews thathe knew was going to get hate.I love that people love a mutant. I love it.I love it.I love that people are there’s loadsof people who obviously really like him,so there’s obviously plenty of negative comments.But I love that there’s somany people who love him because. WWW.ARMINIC.COM He’s just a fucking big jack dude, I think aswell, and this is more of a psychological thing, Ithink what’s happening there a lot of the time isyou get somebody who’s training as well.Obviously they don’t have thesame results he has, right? Yeah.He might be younger than them, hemight be the same age as them.So firstly, there’s a small amount of envy there.Then he’s made a decision they chose not to make.He took the drugs, he took therisk they chose not to take.And then they’re subconsciously very angry about that.And they don’t even realize they’re angry.They don’t even realize they’re annoyed.They think they really enjoy their level of progress.But training is pretty hard.Training hurts.You put a lot of time in, you sacrifice otherthings, and then you see somebody who might have beendoing it for half the time you’ve been doing it.They’re ten times better than you’ll ever hope to be.And then you just say, I’m so angry at him.Isn’t it so strange that in someforms so he doesn’t talk about PEDs.He doesn’t say that he uses them, from what I know.And he doesn’t sell a product and sayhe got these results because of that product.It might have been largely competitive bythe PDS, like maybe Liver King orMichael Hearn or someone like Know.So it’s so strange that he’s anathlete who doesn’t compete in anything.So maybe I shouldn’t even call him an athlete.Or maybe he will do bodybuilding.He’s still an athlete, I think. Yeah.He trains really hard.He doesn’t cheat anyone out of anything.He doesn’t break any rules in a competition.He doesn’t sell any products under theguise of getting results from this productthat he’s specifically getting from PEDs.And it’s so strange that there’s people like Steroids andyou’re like, but why do you feel better than him?So why do you feel like you’re better than him?We’re going to play the analogy game, right? Right.Say this is 20 years ago andthere’s still an insurance office, okay?So me and you sit at the desk and everyoneknows the office in there is the CEO’s office, right?And the CEO is a woman in her 60s.She’s kind of disgusting looking, and she has a rattleoff all the new interns who come in, right.And all she wants is you togo and service her needs, right? Oh, my God.So me and you have beenworking here for two years, right?Yeah, we’re grand.We’re still assistants to thesales development team, right?We’re still assistants.Then this guy comes in and we’re both 30, andthis guy comes in and he’s 25 and he’s there,and he’s there a few weeks and he’s an assistantto the sales team now and said, Jeez, we’ve beenhere two weeks and he’s assistant to the sales team.And then you notice he arrives withher in the morning, a few mornings. Right. Right.So he’s made a decision.He said, Fuck it, I can see the success, I cansee my route, I’m going to hop on here right now.He suddenly he’s on the salesdevelopment team, but we’re not.We’re still assistants and wesay, I understand that decision.I could have made that decision.We all could. Right.Some will say logistically it would havebeen difficult or maybe you had agirlfriend so you felt like you couldn’t.But it’s the exact same thing as drugs, right? Yeah.Don’t know where to buy the drugs, don’t knowhow to take the drugs, don’t know right.The amount to take.But everybody understands the decision you make.We would be sitting here feeling better than them.You’d be like that dirty little fucker riding your one.That’s disgusting. Yeah.And you mightn’t even realize you’re angry at him.But subconsciously you’re definitelylike little pervert.It’s mad, isn’t it? Yeah.But I feel like that’s the exactsame thing as someone taking drugs.Yeah, it is a good analogy.It’s if and not very strange andout of nowhere, but a very specificanalogy, but certainly an understandable analogy.I think it gets the point across very well,but I think Sam Sulik is fucking the boss.It’s just interesting how someone just takes off.If you look at the production quality of his videosor anything like that, it’s road wireless mic on hishat, he’s in the car, camera quality is middling topoor as far as YouTube quality could be. Yeah.When you consider the amount of channels with full4K, full four K and full professional production.Christian Guzman got to a million subscribers andthen the algorithm fell off a little bit.But I was looking at Max tuning’s YouTube and hewas saying he started a new one and he’s goingto try get back to a million with another channel.Because he thinks the algorithm killed him a little.Because he did a summer shredding this year.Remember we were watching a bit of A last year.It just kept showing up.It’s a great series and he did it this year andit didn’t get half the traction, I believe, but I thinkhe started a new one and trying to go again.And it’s interesting to play the algorithm gamein some ways if you’re not involved, ifyou just watch and don’t make content.It’s funny how blissfully you’re unaware you are ofpeople frantically thinking of what’s going to happen.But it’s really funny because when you look atsomeone like Sam Sue, like it doesn’t matter ifsomething is going to happen if you’re going totake off, it’s just going to happen.For like Sam, to be fair, those videos arelong and he puts up video basically every day. Does he?Five times a week.It seems very consistent.Like those videos are an hour long.And I’ve known that.It’s not like he’s editing themin after effects or whatever.But there’s a bit of editing in an hour long video.Yeah.It’s no joke.I’d say it takes half an hour to edit those. Yeah.To be honest.But yeah, all credit to him.No thumbnails.There seems to be a screen grab from the thing. Yeah.It’s good to see, though.I’m glad to see that there’s still just araw desire to see training and the action.I think a lot of the bigger YouTubers who alsotrain don’t seem to show it off a lot.And that’s why I’m a big fanof still putting up my training blogs.And it’s an interesting I was thinking theother day, obviously I can be very spitefulif I have Spike to motivate me. I love it.But there’s nobody, like, knockingme down for the squat.Everyone’s like, can’t wait to use squat 300.Yeah, this is great.They’re like, can’t wait to someone said, I’vebeen waiting years for you to squat 300.And it’s just ever and so positive.And it’s really motivating in one way.It’s very motivating in one fashion. Yeah.It’s not the same, though. But it’s not the same.It’s not the same as someonebeing like, you fucking loser.There’s no way you’ll ever squat 300.Kilos yeah, there was one ortwo comps on my training clocks.They were like, now that you’re old, youfeel like you’ll never hit your squat peak.And it was when I was literally squatting once amonth or whatever from September to February this year.I was just, like, barelydoing any weightlifting or whatever. Sold jiu jitsu.And someone was like, how does itfeel that you’ve passed your peak?And I was like, at the time, I was 29.What the fuck are you talking about?No, but I knew it’s so funnyin those comments because it’s weird.I don’t know how people view me, and it’s noneof my business, but it’s funny when I see thosecomments because like, fuck, does someone see me like that?Whereas I’m like, no, I can squat 300.I can get back to form.I unracked 290 and walked it out last weekend.And I was very confident squatting it.But I put it back because I six squat sessionsand before it and an hour and a half jitsudone the night before or 2 hours of jitsu.So I was like, right, just put this back.But it’s funny.I think that’s the same thing as well, though.People are like, yeah, you’re old. You’re old.You know that. Yeah.Same way.People just really want everyone tobe as downtrodden as they are.Yeah, it is interesting. Yeah.It’s a very Irish trade.At some point, literally, as I was saying that,I was thinking it’s a very Irish thing, apparently.Girlfriend’s everywhere.Apparently it’s not. Yeah.Or people are like, oh, now that you’veOccaded, you feel like training is over?And you’re like, no.It’s what you make of it what you do.Like, you’ll make it happen ifyou want to make it happen. Yeah.That’s why Blaine was a great podcast guest.He’s 38 and he blocks Natch 165.I love what Blaine is about.It’s going to be a good episode. Absolutely.Definitely recommend just big, strong, jacked,powerful dude, gets after it.Just a hot guy.Oh, my God. So hot.He has.Actually, after this squad, I think I’m goingto obviously cut down in waste because Ijust don’t like being 130 kilos too much.Five foot 233 kilos.133 this morning. Yeah.Five foot two.I don’t know if people know we’re joking anymore.It’s actually funnier not to tell peopleabout my body weights at the moment.It’s not even that heavy.It’s literally, like a few kilos from 100.But I was 96 before Chris.Kilos from 130? Yeah.A few kilos and a few feet, like, but beforeChristmas, I was like, down to 96 for the comp.And most of the last howeverlong, I’ve been, like, 100 kilos.And I really like it.And aerobically.I’m fitter than I’ve ever been.Yeah, but you have to move so much more. WWW.ARMINIC.COM Around like half an hour of steady,say, cardio every single day, even days. Jiu jitsu.I could do ten runs of jitsu and be veryfresh and aerobically fit and sharp, but it’s just beingheavier, between 107 to 110, depending on the day.It’s just unpleasant.And no specific thing is unpleasant.My bloods are phenomenal.Blood pressure is great.Resting heart rate is like fucking between 55 to 65.Everything is fine metrically, but it’sjust still a heavier body weight.When they’re doing like single X orsomething, I have to lift my legs.Like, my legs are doing the lifting.But I tried to lift your legs. Disgusting.I still have to lift them.So you’re just bigger and stuff.And I’m loving squatting and stuff.But it’s interesting.And we talked about this forsan efforting and stuff, periodizing.But then you see like, Blaine, there is just100 kilos, he says probably 1012 percent body fat. Yeah.So I’d like to do after this, I’mgoing to do, I think, refamiliarize with weightlifting.Okay.Just spend like two or three monthstouch the barbell, just touch the barbell.Sing some snatches and cleans.Because I didn’t basically doanything for last October.So since Japan basically.So like three months now, which is totallyfine, no problem, but still trying to rehabthe elbow with Steph, who’s another guest.We’ve hmm.Chinese national team. Physio.Just so you know, the podcastseries is starting next week. Yep, Tuesday.It’s starting Tuesday.So Monday podcast, podcast clips, podcast will be interruptedby the new show again the following week.Obviously can’t let the Monday roll by with a new show.Back to the podcast.Eight episodes and a couple of great guests.Steph is one, and then I think I’m goingto do so I’ve been doing a lot ofhill sprints up until a few weeks ago.It’s up to like two or three weeks ago.I stopped them just because thesquats are getting heavy now.Someone is all hands on deck or all quads on deck.But I think I’ll do a bitof a bit more sprinting work specifically.And see, sprinting work would begreat for jiu jitsu as well.Yeah, sprinting isn’t going to make anything worse.Yeah, I found the zone twostuff is the most productive.Jiu jitsu, just if you get on it for long enough.In the short run, this super heavy, intense, fatiguingassault bike stuff is great, but for long termtraining, that zone two is the beauty. Absolutely.Are you working on anyconditioning program for the app?Yes, I actually worked a lot onthat on the plane on Friday.So what I really want for the conditioning for theapp is that people will be inputting their machinery.Yes.Not everyone has a stationary bike or not everyone has atreadmill, or a lot of people might have access to arower and maybe a skier in their CrossFit gym. Yes.Obviously, everyone can get out and run,but some people can’t run because theymight have bad knees or something.So just have a small bitof changeability or interchangeability there.You’ll be able to select that at thestart of the program and then run theprogram till your blood turns to sludge.No, your blood won’t be sludge.Oh, well, you’ll get the ratio.No, but you’ll be thinner because the redblood cells are used up during the process.Nice viscosity.So we got to nip it there.So thanks for everyone for listening.I hope you’re enjoying the long form.So this will be on Spotify and SoundCloud and stuff, butplease do listen to the YouTube or leave it playing.You don’t even have to listen on YouTube.Just let it play true.Because especially put up longer ones like this,if YouTube sees that, they’re lower view retention.So if you click on and you immediately see it’s onSpotify and you click off, YouTube is like, the fuck?They hate this video. Fuck, yeah.So you got to appeal.We’re all just waiting for Googleto buy Spotify as well.Jesus Christ.Right, thanks very much, guys.
