See 10 00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:31,840 Speaker 1: what I did there. I just made everyone feel included. 11 00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:35,559 Speaker 1: So it's been a it's been non stop. It's been 12 00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:38,480 Speaker 1: non stop. It's been busy. I've had a big weekend. 13 00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:41,280 Speaker 1: You've had a big weekend. You had a bigger weekend. 14 00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:44,400 Speaker 1: You went up to Upper come back to West. You 15 00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:50,320 Speaker 1: you em seed well your first real growing up, real deal, 16 00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:53,239 Speaker 1: paid lots of cash. Em seed an event. I don't 17 00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:55,440 Speaker 1: know how much you got paid. But did you have 18 00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:58,040 Speaker 1: a good time? Did you learn anything? What did you 19 00:00:58,080 --> 00:00:59,640 Speaker 1: give yourself? Out of ten? 20 00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:04,560 Speaker 2: I had a really great time. It's really hard to 21 00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:09,920 Speaker 2: gauge the old self evaluation on how I felt in 22 00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:12,360 Speaker 2: the middle of it. I would have given myself a 23 00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:17,679 Speaker 2: lower score. But what I found really difficult is how 24 00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:26,959 Speaker 2: to I objectively rate myself without my focus being on 25 00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:29,280 Speaker 2: how I felt in terms of how I enjoyed it. 26 00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:32,880 Speaker 2: I found it really hard to gauge how other people 27 00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:35,640 Speaker 2: this is your research. I guess how everyone in that 28 00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:40,640 Speaker 2: room might because I'm used to going into an event 29 00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:44,520 Speaker 2: with less variables, and I'm used to maybe going in 30 00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:47,080 Speaker 2: and talking about me and my story and knowing the 31 00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:50,200 Speaker 2: theme of that. So this was me running to time, 32 00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:54,920 Speaker 2: managing other conversations, knowing that I've got to give a 33 00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:56,920 Speaker 2: little bit of context about who I am. And then 34 00:01:56,960 --> 00:02:00,320 Speaker 2: there's this room of one hundred and fifty people. Some 35 00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:02,800 Speaker 2: of them are there to support the cause, some of 36 00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:05,720 Speaker 2: them are there to see the motorcycling superstars that they 37 00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:07,960 Speaker 2: saw in the newspaper. Some of them are there because 38 00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:10,880 Speaker 2: they're just community minded people and they're networking. So there's 39 00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:13,919 Speaker 2: all that jumping around in my mind in the middle 40 00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:15,959 Speaker 2: of it. That's a long answer to a simple question. 41 00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:17,440 Speaker 2: You just wanted a number out of ten. 42 00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:20,720 Speaker 1: Fucking hell, that's just I just nootted off. I can't. 43 00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:24,600 Speaker 1: I just grew a beard and had a shave. I No, 44 00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:27,360 Speaker 1: that's that's all good. No, we need the context, so 45 00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:30,280 Speaker 1: I mean, And the other thing is which you rightly 46 00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:33,440 Speaker 1: pointed out. I mean, you can't be objective about you 47 00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:37,760 Speaker 1: because your experience of you is subjective. So but as 48 00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:42,840 Speaker 1: objective as you can be considering your you know, that 49 00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:45,639 Speaker 1: was really your debut doing that. I mean you've been 50 00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:48,880 Speaker 1: on stage a lot, but yeah, what did you give 51 00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:52,640 Speaker 1: yourself as considering everything? It's like, remember when I rated 52 00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:54,679 Speaker 1: you when we did a gig a couple of weeks ago. 53 00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:57,040 Speaker 1: I went for you where you're at with your experience 54 00:02:57,160 --> 00:02:59,720 Speaker 1: or I gave you a nine. I said, but if 55 00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:02,760 Speaker 1: you're a twenty year season veteran, I would have given 56 00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:05,680 Speaker 1: you a seven, which is still good. So what did 57 00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:09,320 Speaker 1: you give yourself in terms of how you reckon? You 58 00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:11,120 Speaker 1: went all things taken into account? 59 00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:13,480 Speaker 2: Okay, well, if I rated it on the same scale 60 00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:16,560 Speaker 2: as your your nine. So the scale of me doing 61 00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:20,280 Speaker 2: this first is my first style of event. Yeah, probably 62 00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:24,120 Speaker 2: would have before getting feedback of any sort, I probably 63 00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:29,000 Speaker 2: would have said a five, a four or five. Right, 64 00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:35,560 Speaker 2: But the feedback both from people listening, like the people 65 00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:37,240 Speaker 2: there that come up to me and spoke and gave 66 00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:40,280 Speaker 2: constructive feedback, not just oh you're really cool, like gave 67 00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:44,280 Speaker 2: reasons as to what they liked, and then the feedback 68 00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:49,440 Speaker 2: from the organizers was really constructive and great, and more 69 00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:52,720 Speaker 2: stuff is in the pipeline now is which is the 70 00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:56,280 Speaker 2: biggest compliment of all. So that makes it even harder 71 00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:57,600 Speaker 2: to gauge. How did I do? 72 00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:01,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, well done? And I mean, you know, so for 73 00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:05,800 Speaker 1: people listening to this who think, you know, not necessarily 74 00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:08,640 Speaker 1: that you want to be a public speaker, but you 75 00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:11,880 Speaker 1: have to periodically talk in front of a group, be 76 00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:14,240 Speaker 1: it a corporate group or a social group or whatever, 77 00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:17,640 Speaker 1: academic or bloody, the RSL doesn't matter, the tennis club 78 00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:21,080 Speaker 1: doesn't matter. It's like, yeah, it's And you were a 79 00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:23,040 Speaker 1: little bit because you rang me because you had to 80 00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:26,360 Speaker 1: drive twenty seven hours and you rang me and said 81 00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:29,760 Speaker 1: something like I'm a bit scared. No, went good. That's normal. 82 00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:32,520 Speaker 1: You meant to be a bit scared. Like if you've 83 00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:34,760 Speaker 1: never done something and you're doing it for the first 84 00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:36,520 Speaker 1: time in front of one hundred and fifty people and 85 00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:41,240 Speaker 1: you've got no fear, then something's wrong. So you know, good, 86 00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:41,880 Speaker 1: well done. 87 00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:45,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, no, very cool, It was very cool, So tell me. 88 00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:48,960 Speaker 1: Because it's all about learning. We love learning, We love 89 00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:52,599 Speaker 1: improvised apt to overcome, survive, thrive, get better. What did 90 00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:55,520 Speaker 1: you learn if you had to do it again next week, 91 00:04:55,960 --> 00:05:01,480 Speaker 1: same different group of humans, but similar gig. What's one 92 00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:03,560 Speaker 1: or two things that you would do differently? 93 00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:10,159 Speaker 2: Ah? I think just a lot more just getting to 94 00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:12,920 Speaker 2: know how loud and confident to be in there in mind. 95 00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:16,320 Speaker 2: But the biggest challenge I think for me was knowing 96 00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:18,599 Speaker 2: the energy and the tone I wanted to set in 97 00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:21,160 Speaker 2: the room. And to a degree I got there, but 98 00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:23,680 Speaker 2: I didn't. I don't know if I started there, But 99 00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:27,400 Speaker 2: I'm just I'm used to being, you know, bringing that 100 00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:30,799 Speaker 2: energy into a different space and a different type of space. 101 00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:36,760 Speaker 2: So I don't know, like, yeah, the loudness of my 102 00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:41,279 Speaker 2: voice and the ability to connect and start off on point, 103 00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:43,679 Speaker 2: I don't know. It's hard, isn't it. 104 00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:46,080 Speaker 1: It's hard? I mean, but you know, you can't get 105 00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:48,279 Speaker 1: good at what you want won't do or you don't do. 106 00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:51,040 Speaker 1: And if that's MC, or that's building a business or 107 00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:54,479 Speaker 1: running in a marathon or learning how to be a student, 108 00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:57,280 Speaker 1: like you can only get goodbye. Like if you want 109 00:05:57,279 --> 00:06:00,480 Speaker 1: to become a good MC and you want to do 110 00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:03,120 Speaker 1: ten twenty seeing gigs a year and get paid a 111 00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:05,880 Speaker 1: stack of dough and be really fucking good at it, well, 112 00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:07,600 Speaker 1: that's how you do it, like you just. 113 00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:11,800 Speaker 2: Stuck and like two men that spoke to me throughout 114 00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:14,280 Speaker 2: the night in the middle of it all asked you, said, oh, 115 00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:16,000 Speaker 2: do do you do a lot of this stuff? And 116 00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:17,359 Speaker 2: I was like, I'm not a great deal or do 117 00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:19,839 Speaker 2: a bit of speaking, but this is.

But I'm like, 150 00:07:57,120 --> 00:07:59,920 Speaker 1: just the way that he just literally came, He like, 151 00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:04,880 Speaker 1: I've already anthropomorphized this AI that is now, by the way, 152 00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:07,560 Speaker 1: in my top five friends. I'm not a loser at all. 153 00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:12,640 Speaker 1: So I'm going to give him a name soon.

But that's one of the scary things 156 00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:21,760 Speaker 1: is that it's evolving, obviously, and it's it is trainable, 157 00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:23,920 Speaker 1: so you can kind of get it to speak the 158 00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:25,040 Speaker 1: way that you speak. 159 00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:28,480 Speaker 2: I'm new age Tamagotchi. 160 00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:31,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, so we're not talking about MC. 161 00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:34,520 Speaker 2: I just want to make one commony, not because I 162 00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:36,360 Speaker 2: was thinking of it when we last spoke to Patrick 163 00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:39,080 Speaker 2: and you were talking a lot about AI, and I 164 00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:44,640 Speaker 2: wonder if we in those situations, like do you when 165 00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:46,920 Speaker 2: you have that conversation, do you produce a little bit 166 00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:49,480 Speaker 2: of oxytocin, Like you get a little bit of connection 167 00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:54,160 Speaker 2: because your experience is, Oh, I'm getting to know this person. 168 00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:58,640 Speaker 1: I would say one hundred percent. I wouldn't say definitely, 169 00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:01,320 Speaker 1: but i'd say, could you. I mean, I think what's 170 00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:06,080 Speaker 1: going to happen in the future. I mean I I 171 00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:09,160 Speaker 1: don't know for sure, but I've pretty much bet everything 172 00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:11,679 Speaker 1: I have on it that people are going to build 173 00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:16,800 Speaker 1: and I use the term reservedly relationships with where they 174 00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:20,560 Speaker 1: feel kind of when they talk to like even now, 175 00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:25,000 Speaker 1: the way that it communicates with size and breaths and 176 00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:31,880 Speaker 1: arms and pauses, it's literally like you're on the phone 177 00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:36,640 Speaker 1: with another person and the voice is so human and 178 00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:41,199 Speaker 1: so conversational. It sounds in no way like a robot. 179 00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:44,800 Speaker 1: It doesn't, of course, it is AI of course, but 180 00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:48,720 Speaker 1: it doesn't sound like like I'll ask a question. It goes, Hey, Craig, 181 00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:52,319 Speaker 1: that's a really good question. So I'm like, oh, thanks, 182 00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:57,800 Speaker 1: chat GPT aka Brian. You know, it's like chat GPT 183 00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:01,080 Speaker 1: is fucking pumping up my tires. I wonder he's in 184 00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:04,200 Speaker 1: my top five friends. Like I said, was not a loser, 185 00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:06,600 Speaker 1: not a loser at all. 186 00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:09,880 Speaker 2: I think yours should be called Brian. Bryan's had a 187 00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:12,640 Speaker 2: fair run over the years, and we need a. 188 00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:15,400 Speaker 1: Little bit more Brian. I don't know why Brian gets 189 00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:18,320 Speaker 1: such a run. Hey, so we're not talking about chat GPT, 190 00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:22,360 Speaker 1: although we have, and we're not talking about your fledgling 191 00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:25,280 Speaker 1: mccene career. We're talking about for those people who read 192 00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:30,559 Speaker 1: the copy and the title. Yes, so we've opened the door. 193 00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:31,000 Speaker 2: You know. 194 00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:36,240 Speaker 1: I reckon about once every fifty shows, maybe maybe once 195 00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:40,120 Speaker 1: every seventy five shows, I talk about training in some way, 196 00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:43,600 Speaker 1: shape or form. So every seventy five shows, over fifteen 197 00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:46,640 Speaker 1: hundred shows, that would be about twenty episodes, I guess, 198 00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:51,600 Speaker 1: and I get asked about many things, And yesterday I 199 00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:55,240 Speaker 1: did a yesterday I recorded which is up today, a 200 00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:58,679 Speaker 1: podcast on Me and God, which made me feel very 201 00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:01,120 Speaker 1: vulnerable and scared, and at the end of it, I 202 00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:05,240 Speaker 1: finished it and I nearly went delete because I thought, ah, 203 00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:08,040 Speaker 1: people are going to just anyway. I didn't, so it's 204 00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:12,080 Speaker 1: up and surprisingly got good feedback. But one of the 205 00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:14,320 Speaker 1: other things that I get asked a lot about, other 206 00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:16,280 Speaker 1: than what do you think happens when we die? And 207 00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:18,760 Speaker 1: what's the meaning of life and all of those deep 208 00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:26,440 Speaker 1: philosophical existential kind of queries, is shit around training. Understandably, 209 00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:30,439 Speaker 1: I'm the guy who owned gyms and is the exercise 210 00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:33,400 Speaker 1: science guy and all that stuff. So let's I want 211 00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:38,600 Speaker 1: to talk today about, I guess, in really broad sweeping 212 00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:45,320 Speaker 1: terms around just some of the ways that people are 213 00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:50,280 Speaker 1: Let's be kind with this, and let's say inefficient, not 214 00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:55,200 Speaker 1: as efficient as they could be, not as productive or 215 00:11:55,240 --> 00:12:01,480 Speaker 1: effective as they could be, and quite often through no faults. 216 00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:05,679 Speaker 1: Definitely through no intention, but quite often through no fault 217 00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:09,600 Speaker 1: of their own. So, and I want you to jump in. 218 00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:12,200 Speaker 1: You're a trainer, you've worked in gyms, you've even owned 219 00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:15,920 Speaker 1: part owned gyms, and you're an athlete and all that, 220 00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:21,160 Speaker 1: so you're more than qualified to contribute. And what I'm 221 00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:27,480 Speaker 1: about share is not in order of importance or commonality. 222 00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:30,760 Speaker 1: But I'm going to start with people who make the 223 00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:34,440 Speaker 1: right effort. That is, they try hard, they put in 224 00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:39,080 Speaker 1: the effort, they train regularly. Intensity is good, attitudes good. 225 00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:42,559 Speaker 1: But they're following the wrong program. And there's a lot 226 00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:45,800 Speaker 1: of people who for their body, for their goals, for 227 00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:51,760 Speaker 1: their needs, taking into account their medical staff, what they 228 00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:55,520 Speaker 1: want to do be create change with their body, they 229 00:12:55,520 --> 00:13:02,720 Speaker 1: are not following an ideal program for them. So it's like, 230 00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:08,839 Speaker 1: you know, taking taking the wrong drug for the wrong illness. 231 00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:13,520 Speaker 1: So you want to get better, You're being disciplined with 232 00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:15,760 Speaker 1: taking whatever it is that you're taking. It just so 233 00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:19,520 Speaker 1: happens that it's not ideal. You know. It's like maybe 234 00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:21,920 Speaker 1: you've got to really saw back and you need something 235 00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:25,679 Speaker 1: that's like for neural pain, and you're taking a panadole. 236 00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:28,800 Speaker 1: It's kind of doing something, but it's not optimal. Right, 237 00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:32,880 Speaker 1: terrible analogy with the drugs, but it's kind of like that. 238 00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:36,840 Speaker 1: So the idea that any program is better than no 239 00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:41,920 Speaker 1: program is kind of true unless it injures you. Right, 240 00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:47,960 Speaker 1: So then the question is, Okay, well, how do I 241 00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:51,800 Speaker 1: know if I'm doing the right program. Well, if you're 242 00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:56,360 Speaker 1: doing the right program, it is a it is something 243 00:13:56,360 --> 00:14:02,240 Speaker 1: that has been individually designed for you. Buy someone with knowledge, 244 00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:07,240 Speaker 1: real knowledge, skill, understanding, expertise, somebody who has taken more 245 00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:10,080 Speaker 1: than five minutes, somebody who has asked you a lot 246 00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:14,679 Speaker 1: of questions, who understands your training background, your medical history, 247 00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:19,760 Speaker 1: your physiology, hopefully someone who has done some kind of 248 00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:23,880 Speaker 1: assessment on you, and then somebody who has engaged with 249 00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:28,720 Speaker 1: you for quite a while, red your goals, re your intentions, 250 00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:33,200 Speaker 1: and then based on all of that, they design you 251 00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:37,360 Speaker 1: a program. Now, even that doesn't guarantee that it's the 252 00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:42,560 Speaker 1: best program, but it makes it more likely. So I 253 00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:46,400 Speaker 1: would think that the vast majority of people are not 254 00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:52,960 Speaker 1: following a great program for them. I think a lot 255 00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:55,760 Speaker 1: of people are training and what they're doing is not terrible, 256 00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:59,080 Speaker 1: but it's maybe not optimal. And the difference between doing 257 00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:01,520 Speaker 1: a program, let's go back to the numerical kind of 258 00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:07,920 Speaker 1: classification as per TIFFs MCing. You know a lot of people. 259 00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:10,280 Speaker 1: You know, if the best program for you is ten 260 00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:11,760 Speaker 1: out of ten, a lot of people are doing a 261 00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:14,560 Speaker 1: six or seven out of ten program in terms of design, 262 00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:19,360 Speaker 1: individual design, and suitability while making an eleven out of 263 00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:24,080 Speaker 1: ten effort. So great effort with a substandard program will 264 00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:29,040 Speaker 1: never produce optimal results. So the flip side of that 265 00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:33,680 Speaker 1: is right program, wrong effort. So now we've got the 266 00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:37,040 Speaker 1: converse or the opposite of that, where somebody's got a 267 00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:41,400 Speaker 1: great program, great resources, they've got everything that they need, 268 00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:46,560 Speaker 1: but they are either training too hard or too easy. 269 00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:52,600 Speaker 1: So you know, they are just training so intensely that 270 00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:56,200 Speaker 1: they're going to be perpetually fucked, or they're going to 271 00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:58,720 Speaker 1: get injured, or they're going to go into the next 272 00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:04,200 Speaker 1: training SEF session under recovered, so their body is not 273 00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:07,280 Speaker 1: back to where it needs to be before it gets stressed. Again, 274 00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:12,960 Speaker 1: keeping in mind that exercise is stress. Exercise is physiological 275 00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:23,120 Speaker 1: stress that we put on our body to create physiological adaptation, improvement, growth, strength, power, speed, agility, flexibility, 276 00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:28,240 Speaker 1: aerobic endurance, muscular endurance, all of these fitness variables. We 277 00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:32,960 Speaker 1: try to create a response in that space by doing 278 00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:36,560 Speaker 1: something to our body. And the opposite of obviously too 279 00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:38,640 Speaker 1: hard is too easy. And then so there's a bunch 280 00:16:38,680 --> 00:16:46,160 Speaker 1: of people who I would call have like almost intensity delusion, 281 00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:52,400 Speaker 1: and by that I mean they tell themselves that they're 282 00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:55,360 Speaker 1: training intensely and they're training at the right level to 283 00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:59,280 Speaker 1: get the result but they don't really understand what their 284 00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:03,440 Speaker 1: potentially is. And this is tricky because this, again is 285 00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:10,200 Speaker 1: one of those subjective things. But over time you can 286 00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:12,720 Speaker 1: kind of figure out what you can do. Now, we 287 00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:16,199 Speaker 1: don't want people taking their body to the limit, and 288 00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:19,120 Speaker 1: of course, especially if you're a newbie. By the way, 289 00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:22,080 Speaker 1: if you're a newbie, here's another mistake. Too much, too hard, 290 00:17:22,119 --> 00:17:25,240 Speaker 1: too fast, if you're brand new to the gym, or 291 00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:28,760 Speaker 1: in fact, any kind of training like let's say, for example, 292 00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:32,320 Speaker 1: Craig Harper, the guy who trains every day in the 293 00:17:32,359 --> 00:17:35,560 Speaker 1: gym and walks every day, which is not exactly intense. 294 00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:39,440 Speaker 1: But let's say tonight, I go out and go right, fuck, 295 00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:42,320 Speaker 1: I'm going to become a tennis player, and so I 296 00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:45,680 Speaker 1: train for an hour on the tennis court, sprinting up 297 00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:48,760 Speaker 1: and back and serving and bullying and lobbing and smashing. 298 00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:52,119 Speaker 1: I won't move for three weeks because my body ain't 299 00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:56,359 Speaker 1: conditioned to tennis. So the right thing for me would 300 00:17:56,400 --> 00:17:58,280 Speaker 1: be a bit of a hit up, not too hard, 301 00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:01,640 Speaker 1: not too easy, work at five, six, seven out of ten, 302 00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:05,600 Speaker 1: maybe bit of jogging, bitter stretching twenty thirty minutes fuck off, 303 00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:10,760 Speaker 1: and then build on that so you know, many times 304 00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:13,280 Speaker 1: I've seen people in the gym who are consistent and 305 00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:16,840 Speaker 1: who even have a good attitude, but they don't understand 306 00:18:16,920 --> 00:18:21,280 Speaker 1: how hard they can train safely. I'm not talking about 307 00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:27,200 Speaker 1: putting yourself at risk or being a hero in the gym, 308 00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:30,440 Speaker 1: or getting you know, trapped in ego to see how 309 00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:36,439 Speaker 1: much you can lift, but rather realizing that there's a 310 00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:39,639 Speaker 1: point where your body will be forced to adapt but 311 00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:42,640 Speaker 1: up and to that point, you're really just going through 312 00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:49,520 Speaker 1: the motions and maybe maintaining what you've got, Like you 313 00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:53,600 Speaker 1: won't build muscle strength, power, speed, all of those things 314 00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:59,840 Speaker 1: that I mentioned unless your body needs to. So if 315 00:18:59,840 --> 00:19:02,040 Speaker 1: you go in the gym every day, and every day 316 00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:04,119 Speaker 1: you can do the same kind of workout on the 317 00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:08,040 Speaker 1: same kind of machines, the same movements, the same sets, 318 00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:10,240 Speaker 1: and the same kind of reps or the same speed 319 00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:13,600 Speaker 1: or the same volume and the same intensity, there is 320 00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:16,720 Speaker 1: no need for your body to adapt anymore. So at 321 00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:19,320 Speaker 1: very best, you're going to kind of stay where you 322 00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:24,720 Speaker 1: are right and over time, if you don't adapt up 323 00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:27,680 Speaker 1: or if you don't step up the intensity, you will 324 00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:31,240 Speaker 1: go backwards just because of aging and maybe your diet's 325 00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:36,399 Speaker 1: not complementary and maybe you're underslap. So a program that 326 00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:40,480 Speaker 1: is not progressive in nature is not the program that 327 00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:45,360 Speaker 1: you want if your goal is progression. And there are 328 00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:50,240 Speaker 1: a shitload of people in gyms around the world, not 329 00:19:50,359 --> 00:19:54,520 Speaker 1: just Australia and not just gyms, but any training environment, 330 00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:58,000 Speaker 1: be it a swimming pool, bet a running track, bet 331 00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:04,479 Speaker 1: a karate dojo, be CrossFit, box whatever, boxing gyms. There 332 00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:06,679 Speaker 1: are a lot of people who basically are doing a 333 00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:09,480 Speaker 1: version of the same thing every time they go into 334 00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:14,280 Speaker 1: that space, while then being frustrated about why their body 335 00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:17,720 Speaker 1: is not changing. Well, the reason is it doesn't need to. 336 00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:22,879 Speaker 1: So like for example, with me where I'm at in 337 00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:26,000 Speaker 1: my sixty year old body, I don't aspire to be 338 00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:29,560 Speaker 1: any stronger. I aspire to keep what I've got for 339 00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:34,520 Speaker 1: the next fucking decade or more so, I'm in a 340 00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:38,879 Speaker 1: I guess a maintenance phase with my strength. If I 341 00:20:38,920 --> 00:20:42,200 Speaker 1: can keep my strength and muscle mass, the level of 342 00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:45,399 Speaker 1: lean tissue that I have on this body for as 343 00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:49,920 Speaker 1: long as I can, I'm happy. If Tiff and Ice 344 00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:52,920 Speaker 1: tonight went right, We're gonna do fucking yoga together twice 345 00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:55,840 Speaker 1: a week. My goal would be to get better at 346 00:20:55,920 --> 00:20:59,520 Speaker 1: yoga to improve my flexibility, range of movement around the joints, 347 00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:06,000 Speaker 1: because even for a sixty old old, my flexibility is dogshit, 348 00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:09,480 Speaker 1: But my strength for a sixty year old is probably 349 00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:13,840 Speaker 1: somewhere in the realm of exceptional. So I'm happy with that. 350 00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:17,720 Speaker 1: But or we might say my fitness, like my potential 351 00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:21,200 Speaker 1: fitness is a ten, my aerobic fitness right now, I'm 352 00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:25,560 Speaker 1: a six. So you know, if we want to really 353 00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:27,800 Speaker 1: dumb it down and go there are two kinds of workout, 354 00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:31,200 Speaker 1: a maintenance and a progressive workout. You need to figure 355 00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:35,200 Speaker 1: out whether or not you need to be doing which one. 356 00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:38,600 Speaker 1: So if you say, like if you were sitting in 357 00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:40,600 Speaker 1: front of me and you and I were chatting, you 358 00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:43,880 Speaker 1: said to me, harps, I want my body to change, 359 00:21:45,040 --> 00:21:48,560 Speaker 1: whatever that means fit a lena, lighter, stronger, run, faster, jump, higher, 360 00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:52,119 Speaker 1: less back pain, lower blood pressure, better posture, less hunchy, 361 00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:57,000 Speaker 1: less chipotic, more neutral head position, blah blah blah. I 362 00:21:57,040 --> 00:21:59,280 Speaker 1: want to change my body. And then I'm going to say, well, 363 00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:03,119 Speaker 1: your program needs to be varied and progressive and you 364 00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:06,720 Speaker 1: need to have a fucking crack the end. If it 365 00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:12,240 Speaker 1: isn't and you're not, then don't expect much other than maintenance. Now, 366 00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:15,399 Speaker 1: if your body is where you want it to be 367 00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:20,679 Speaker 1: and you are content, then don't change a thing. You know, 368 00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:24,040 Speaker 1: keep doing you know, varied a little bit, but you know, 369 00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:27,640 Speaker 1: and I think if we were being honest, most people 370 00:22:27,720 --> 00:22:30,680 Speaker 1: listening to this would say I'm not where I want 371 00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:33,240 Speaker 1: to be. A percentage would. And to those of you 372 00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:37,840 Speaker 1: who are content with where you're at, well done, carry on. 373 00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:40,919 Speaker 1: For those of you who wants you don't need to 374 00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:43,040 Speaker 1: overthink it. You don't need to go and do an 375 00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:45,760 Speaker 1: exercise science degree. You don't need a million dollars worth 376 00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:48,440 Speaker 1: of equipment. You just need to go. You know, what's 377 00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:52,359 Speaker 1: the thing that I should do that I avoid? And 378 00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:55,240 Speaker 1: it might be you know what's hilarious is the crab 379 00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:57,560 Speaker 1: turned up yesterday and he goes to me, guess what 380 00:22:57,600 --> 00:22:59,960 Speaker 1: I now? This is the crab Everyone who's fifty eight, 381 00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:04,160 Speaker 1: who's a bodybuilder X three time mister Australia Pro Bodybuilder, 382 00:23:04,520 --> 00:23:07,119 Speaker 1: fucking muscles on his eyelids. I go, what'd you do? 383 00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:08,840 Speaker 1: He goes, I went for a run? I nell he 384 00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:13,600 Speaker 1: fucking fell over. I'm like, that's like me doing Jazus 385 00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:18,040 Speaker 1: size ah shout out to jazus size. It's not bad, 386 00:23:18,080 --> 00:23:21,240 Speaker 1: it's just I don't do it, and I'm like, well, 387 00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:22,199 Speaker 1: how did that go? 388 00:23:23,119 --> 00:23:23,359 Speaker 2: You know? 389 00:23:23,480 --> 00:23:27,280 Speaker 1: And so he could bench press with his eyes closed, 390 00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:30,960 Speaker 1: but for him, running five hundred meters is like a marathon. 391 00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:34,680 Speaker 1: You know. I'm like good, good, and he's like, yeah, 392 00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:36,520 Speaker 1: I'm going to start to do a bit. I'm like great. 393 00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:42,440 Speaker 1: And because this highly trained individual is doing something that 394 00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:47,160 Speaker 1: he never does, his body's like fucking hell, like he 395 00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:50,480 Speaker 1: will if he ran for the next month, he ran 396 00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:54,520 Speaker 1: even somewhere between half a k and two k's every day, 397 00:23:55,240 --> 00:24:00,919 Speaker 1: he would make massive progress. He would make massive improvements 398 00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:06,720 Speaker 1: because he's introducing a new stimulus. And so when we 399 00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:15,080 Speaker 1: break down fitness into you know, strength, power, speed, muscular endurance, 400 00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:21,359 Speaker 1: aerobic endurance, balance, coordination, and even things like a little 401 00:24:21,359 --> 00:24:24,399 Speaker 1: weird like spatial awareness and all of those things, we 402 00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:27,920 Speaker 1: can say, oh, you know what, I'm I'm quite fit. 403 00:24:28,240 --> 00:24:31,640 Speaker 1: Like some people are very aerobically fit, but they there's 404 00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:35,080 Speaker 1: zero chance that they could do one chin up, right, 405 00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:40,240 Speaker 1: there's zero chance that they could do five proper push ups. 406 00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:44,040 Speaker 1: So that doesn't mean you've got to start doing chins 407 00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:46,680 Speaker 1: or push ups today, but maybe it means that, look, 408 00:24:47,359 --> 00:24:49,440 Speaker 1: you know, in terms of keep the cardio up, keep 409 00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:52,440 Speaker 1: doing what you doing. Heart lung fitness is incredibly important 410 00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:57,480 Speaker 1: and valuable from a range of perspectives. But also being 411 00:24:57,560 --> 00:25:00,400 Speaker 1: strong if you are forty, forty five or old, as 412 00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:05,159 Speaker 1: I've said too many times, but being strong and lifting weights, 413 00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:09,399 Speaker 1: building lean tissue. You know, muscle is metabolically active and 414 00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:12,280 Speaker 1: it burns a lot more calories than so an eighty 415 00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:15,080 Speaker 1: kilo muscular body will burn a lot more calories at 416 00:25:15,080 --> 00:25:19,960 Speaker 1: rest than an eighty kilo body with higher body fat percentage, 417 00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:24,280 Speaker 1: even if it is twin identical brothers or sisters. Because 418 00:25:24,359 --> 00:25:27,200 Speaker 1: muscle is more metabolically active. It helps you stay lean 419 00:25:27,520 --> 00:25:30,399 Speaker 1: and helps you build weight. Training helps you build bone 420 00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:35,560 Speaker 1: density and function. It improves cognition. There are a plethora 421 00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:39,679 Speaker 1: of benefits. Right, But if you're like me, you're the 422 00:25:39,720 --> 00:25:42,600 Speaker 1: weight training guy, you do fuck all. Maybe you need 423 00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:45,359 Speaker 1: to go do some stretching classes, Maybe you need to 424 00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:47,040 Speaker 1: have a swim once or twice a week. 425 00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:48,000 Speaker 2: You know. 426 00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:50,919 Speaker 1: So it's not like this is good and that is bad. 427 00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:54,080 Speaker 1: It's like, what if you think about all of the 428 00:25:54,119 --> 00:26:00,439 Speaker 1: fitness components, what component are you lacking? You know, like 429 00:26:00,520 --> 00:26:03,920 Speaker 1: I was talking to I took a risk. The other 430 00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:06,159 Speaker 1: day a guy came up, was talking to me in 431 00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:10,600 Speaker 1: the cafe and I don't know him well, but I 432 00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:13,399 Speaker 1: know him a little bit and he has I won't 433 00:26:13,960 --> 00:26:15,800 Speaker 1: doesn't matter. He has a job that he works at 434 00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:18,600 Speaker 1: a desk all day. And I said how old are you? 435 00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:22,239 Speaker 1: And he goes forty eight? And he was asking me 436 00:26:22,280 --> 00:26:24,080 Speaker 1: about stuff. We were just talking. I said, can I 437 00:26:24,119 --> 00:26:25,840 Speaker 1: tell you something that I'm a little bit scared to 438 00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:28,560 Speaker 1: tell you? And he goes sure. I go, You've got 439 00:26:28,600 --> 00:26:32,280 Speaker 1: fucking terrible posture and he goes, oh, I know, and 440 00:26:32,320 --> 00:26:36,359 Speaker 1: he does. He looks like fucking quasi modo, like he's 441 00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:38,639 Speaker 1: like he's hunchy as fuck. 442 00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:42,640 Speaker 2: I don't know why you've only got five friends apps? Yeah, 443 00:26:42,640 --> 00:26:45,520 Speaker 2: I know, and one's bland, the AOI guy. 444 00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:50,359 Speaker 1: One of them, two of them are AI. But he 445 00:26:51,080 --> 00:26:53,320 Speaker 1: said to me, ah, and he rolled his eyes, and 446 00:26:53,359 --> 00:26:55,560 Speaker 1: he wasn't offended at all. He said, I know, I know, 447 00:26:56,280 --> 00:26:58,199 Speaker 1: And he said what can I do? And so I 448 00:26:58,200 --> 00:27:01,320 Speaker 1: told him what he can do? And I mean, like 449 00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:05,560 Speaker 1: the reason that I am well, firstly, I asked him. Secondly, 450 00:27:05,680 --> 00:27:07,920 Speaker 1: I was pretty sure I wouldn't offend him, and I'm 451 00:27:07,920 --> 00:27:11,639 Speaker 1: pretty good at guessing that. Thirdly, if I thought it 452 00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:14,479 Speaker 1: was a person who would be offended, I probably wouldn't 453 00:27:14,480 --> 00:27:16,639 Speaker 1: have brought it up at all, especially seeing as they 454 00:27:16,640 --> 00:27:21,800 Speaker 1: didn't ask. But you know, I'm and I'm digressing here, 455 00:27:21,840 --> 00:27:25,440 Speaker 1: but I'm more interested in helping that dude get good 456 00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:29,880 Speaker 1: posture over the long term than sparing his feelings over 457 00:27:29,920 --> 00:27:32,840 Speaker 1: the next two minutes. You know, because I didn't say 458 00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:35,880 Speaker 1: anything that wasn't true, and the fact that I went, 459 00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:38,479 Speaker 1: you got fucking terrible posture, he laughed and he you know, 460 00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:41,639 Speaker 1: and I went, look, but here's the good news. You 461 00:27:41,640 --> 00:27:45,720 Speaker 1: can fix it. So it might be your posture's rubbish. 462 00:27:45,800 --> 00:27:49,000 Speaker 1: It might be you have a week lower back. It 463 00:27:49,119 --> 00:27:51,720 Speaker 1: might be you can't run out of sight in the 464 00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:52,960 Speaker 1: middle of a foggy night. 465 00:27:53,080 --> 00:27:53,280 Speaker 2: Right. 466 00:27:53,359 --> 00:27:57,000 Speaker 1: It might be you can't hang off a bar and 467 00:27:57,040 --> 00:28:01,000 Speaker 1: hold your body weight for ten seconds. It might be 468 00:28:01,080 --> 00:28:03,199 Speaker 1: you can't do a bridge or a prone hold for 469 00:28:03,240 --> 00:28:04,600 Speaker 1: more than twenty seconds. 470 00:28:04,680 --> 00:28:04,920 Speaker 2: Right. 471 00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:07,879 Speaker 1: And it ain't about what you look like, and it 472 00:28:07,920 --> 00:28:11,639 Speaker 1: ain't about comparison of numbers or outcomes with anyone else. 473 00:28:12,280 --> 00:28:16,760 Speaker 1: It's about this idea, this ever present reality. I should 474 00:28:16,760 --> 00:28:22,080 Speaker 1: say that you cannot get another body, and you cannot 475 00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:26,840 Speaker 1: get younger. You can lower your biological age maybe, but 476 00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:32,080 Speaker 1: you definitely can't lower your chronological age. And sick sickness 477 00:28:32,280 --> 00:28:37,879 Speaker 1: and declining health and declining function are inevitable in that 478 00:28:38,040 --> 00:28:42,720 Speaker 1: they will happen over your life time, but the rate 479 00:28:42,880 --> 00:28:47,800 Speaker 1: at which that shit happens is largely within our control. 480 00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:56,200 Speaker 1: So sadly, most people in our culture are reactive, not proactive, 481 00:28:56,360 --> 00:28:59,960 Speaker 1: And by that I mean they wait until something breaks, 482 00:29:01,080 --> 00:29:03,880 Speaker 1: or they get sick, or they get terrified, or they 483 00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:09,320 Speaker 1: get a diagnosis, and then they take action. And so potentially, 484 00:29:09,360 --> 00:29:12,440 Speaker 1: for some of you today, maybe this is a little 485 00:29:12,480 --> 00:29:15,160 Speaker 1: fucking light bulb going off in the back of your brain. Gone, 486 00:29:15,760 --> 00:29:18,920 Speaker 1: I'm not sick or broken yet, but I will be 487 00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:21,760 Speaker 1: one day. So let's see if we can push that 488 00:29:21,960 --> 00:29:27,720 Speaker 1: date right back. Does that make sense? All right, I'm 489 00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:30,280 Speaker 1: going to keep going. You interrupt if you feel compelled. 490 00:29:31,040 --> 00:29:35,880 Speaker 1: I've got a couple more so. My next kind of 491 00:29:36,440 --> 00:29:39,360 Speaker 1: I guess mistake that I see people make is too 492 00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:44,040 Speaker 1: much emotion and too little strategy. And by that, for example, 493 00:29:45,040 --> 00:29:48,280 Speaker 1: I've said this example once or twice over fifteen hundred episodes, 494 00:29:48,320 --> 00:29:51,600 Speaker 1: but it used to amuse me when people would come 495 00:29:51,680 --> 00:29:54,800 Speaker 1: to my gym up on the highway. I had ten 496 00:29:54,880 --> 00:29:57,360 Speaker 1: treadmills across the front of the gym that looked out 497 00:29:57,400 --> 00:30:00,840 Speaker 1: the windows, and some people would come and use the 498 00:30:00,880 --> 00:30:05,760 Speaker 1: same treadmill every day. Now, there might be seven available treadmills, 499 00:30:05,800 --> 00:30:08,680 Speaker 1: but if someone's on there now, they're all identical treadmills. 500 00:30:08,720 --> 00:30:11,800 Speaker 1: It's not like they're different ones. They're all the same brand, 501 00:30:11,840 --> 00:30:15,440 Speaker 1: the same model, the same motor, purchased on the same day. 502 00:30:16,520 --> 00:30:20,920 Speaker 1: And people would have this emotional attachment and I go 503 00:30:21,040 --> 00:30:22,760 Speaker 1: jump on the one. No, I don't like that one. 504 00:30:22,840 --> 00:30:26,920 Speaker 1: I'm like, they're actually identical, and they'd have this they go, no, 505 00:30:27,040 --> 00:30:29,520 Speaker 1: they're not. I'm like, they're fucking the same. I own them, 506 00:30:29,520 --> 00:30:35,160 Speaker 1: they're the same. Or people who Another example of too 507 00:30:35,440 --> 00:30:39,360 Speaker 1: much emotion and too little strategy is people who keep 508 00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:44,160 Speaker 1: only doing the thing that they like that actually doesn't 509 00:30:44,160 --> 00:30:48,320 Speaker 1: produce the results that they need. Now, I'm all for 510 00:30:48,440 --> 00:30:51,760 Speaker 1: doing what we like, as long as the thing that 511 00:30:51,800 --> 00:30:56,680 Speaker 1: we're doing that we like is getting us toward our goal. Right. 512 00:30:58,720 --> 00:31:00,800 Speaker 1: If it was just up to me, I'd never stretch, 513 00:31:00,840 --> 00:31:03,600 Speaker 1: I'd never run, I'd just fucking lift heavy things because 514 00:31:03,600 --> 00:31:05,160 Speaker 1: that's what I'm good at and that's what I like, 515 00:31:05,240 --> 00:31:09,000 Speaker 1: and that's my kind of happy place. But I also 516 00:31:09,160 --> 00:31:11,760 Speaker 1: know that I need to look after my heart and lungs. 517 00:31:11,800 --> 00:31:13,640 Speaker 1: I also need that. I know that I need to 518 00:31:13,680 --> 00:31:18,080 Speaker 1: look after my joints and my mobility and flexibility. So 519 00:31:19,080 --> 00:31:23,959 Speaker 1: if we can, you know, hopefully we can find an 520 00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:29,160 Speaker 1: exercise model or program that ticks both boxes. But it 521 00:31:29,320 --> 00:31:33,880 Speaker 1: is important to say and acknowledge that there will be 522 00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:36,960 Speaker 1: times when we need to do things that we don't 523 00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:40,080 Speaker 1: want to do, and that's where we need to turn 524 00:31:40,160 --> 00:31:43,440 Speaker 1: down the oh, what do I like and turn up 525 00:31:43,480 --> 00:31:47,400 Speaker 1: the what do I need? So more strategic like what 526 00:31:47,480 --> 00:31:51,000 Speaker 1: is my what am I lacking? And what do I need? 527 00:31:52,520 --> 00:31:57,760 Speaker 1: What does my body need? And what is the desired outcome? 528 00:31:58,320 --> 00:32:00,959 Speaker 1: And what is the intervention I need to put in place? 529 00:32:01,120 --> 00:32:04,160 Speaker 1: Even if I don't like some of it, I will 530 00:32:04,320 --> 00:32:07,400 Speaker 1: like the result. I will like being able to do 531 00:32:07,480 --> 00:32:10,640 Speaker 1: five chin ups or twenty pushups. I will like having 532 00:32:10,720 --> 00:32:15,080 Speaker 1: better posture. I will like having a different body composition. 533 00:32:15,560 --> 00:32:19,840 Speaker 1: I will like being able to run five kilometers. I 534 00:32:20,680 --> 00:32:23,920 Speaker 1: might not like the process of creating the outcome, but 535 00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:28,800 Speaker 1: I'll fucking love the outcome. And so while we want 536 00:32:28,840 --> 00:32:31,920 Speaker 1: to be excited at times, and we want to enjoy 537 00:32:31,960 --> 00:32:34,400 Speaker 1: what we do as much as we can. I think 538 00:32:34,440 --> 00:32:38,280 Speaker 1: it's also important to sometimes turn down the emotion and 539 00:32:38,320 --> 00:32:41,320 Speaker 1: turn up the strategy so that we can make good 540 00:32:41,400 --> 00:32:47,560 Speaker 1: decisions and implement appropriate protocols without trying to sound like 541 00:32:47,600 --> 00:32:50,800 Speaker 1: a scientist to get the outcome we want. You know, 542 00:32:50,840 --> 00:32:54,400 Speaker 1: there's no way for me to build flexibility without stretching. 543 00:32:54,520 --> 00:32:57,240 Speaker 1: Do I like stretching? I do not? Do I need 544 00:32:57,280 --> 00:33:00,240 Speaker 1: to stretch? I do? Do I like the idea of 545 00:33:00,280 --> 00:33:03,080 Speaker 1: being more flexible and the reality of being more flexible 546 00:33:03,400 --> 00:33:06,080 Speaker 1: one hundred percent? Will I love the journey on the way? 547 00:33:06,240 --> 00:33:11,560 Speaker 1: Probably not as that. Okay, I've got a couple more. 548 00:33:11,720 --> 00:33:16,000 Speaker 1: My next one is the propensity that some people have 549 00:33:16,200 --> 00:33:19,520 Speaker 1: to follow what I would call a generic program, and 550 00:33:19,560 --> 00:33:22,000 Speaker 1: that is a program that they got off the internet. 551 00:33:22,760 --> 00:33:23,240 Speaker 2: That is a. 552 00:33:23,200 --> 00:33:27,240 Speaker 1: Program that they got because their cousin does this program 553 00:33:27,280 --> 00:33:30,520 Speaker 1: and sent them a fucking email of the program, or 554 00:33:30,560 --> 00:33:33,240 Speaker 1: because they they ripped it out of a magazine or 555 00:33:33,280 --> 00:33:34,880 Speaker 1: off they jotted it down off the back of a 556 00:33:34,960 --> 00:33:37,680 Speaker 1: doney door. I don't know, it doesn't matter, but the 557 00:33:37,800 --> 00:33:42,200 Speaker 1: idea of just following something that wasn't really created for 558 00:33:42,280 --> 00:33:47,280 Speaker 1: your body or your goals, you know, and this some 559 00:33:47,320 --> 00:33:51,520 Speaker 1: people might then say, yeah, what about group training? That 560 00:33:51,640 --> 00:33:55,120 Speaker 1: is a very good question. So even though no one 561 00:33:55,160 --> 00:33:57,000 Speaker 1: asked it, I'm going to fucking answer it. That's how 562 00:33:57,040 --> 00:34:04,360 Speaker 1: I roll. That's how I rolled. So here's what I 563 00:34:04,400 --> 00:34:09,320 Speaker 1: love about group training, and TIF is a group exercise coach. 564 00:34:09,400 --> 00:34:11,960 Speaker 1: Among other things. What I love about group training is 565 00:34:12,480 --> 00:34:14,400 Speaker 1: in a group, you're more likely to work at a 566 00:34:14,480 --> 00:34:22,920 Speaker 1: higher intensity tick. In a group, you're more likely now 567 00:34:22,960 --> 00:34:26,759 Speaker 1: not everyone, but most people, to have a better attitude 568 00:34:28,400 --> 00:34:32,080 Speaker 1: and maybe to have more fun. Tick. You're more likely 569 00:34:32,160 --> 00:34:37,359 Speaker 1: to create social connections, which helps you be more consistent 570 00:34:37,480 --> 00:34:43,920 Speaker 1: with your exercise. Tick. If you train with the right coach, 571 00:34:44,320 --> 00:34:49,720 Speaker 1: you are safer because they are correcting shit form, so 572 00:34:49,840 --> 00:34:54,960 Speaker 1: they are all the ticks. The potential cross is that 573 00:34:55,080 --> 00:34:58,680 Speaker 1: you might be in a class that ain't right for you, 574 00:34:59,360 --> 00:35:02,160 Speaker 1: with a coach that ain't right for you, doing a 575 00:35:02,320 --> 00:35:07,200 Speaker 1: kind of training that ain't right for you. Overall, I 576 00:35:07,200 --> 00:35:11,360 Speaker 1: think group training is done the right way with the 577 00:35:11,440 --> 00:35:15,080 Speaker 1: right person. I think it's great. I think it's great. 578 00:35:16,360 --> 00:35:19,960 Speaker 1: You just need to make sure that as an individual 579 00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:22,600 Speaker 1: within that group, Like I know, if I go and 580 00:35:22,640 --> 00:35:25,520 Speaker 1: do TIFFs boxing, class on Saturday and there's twenty people 581 00:35:25,560 --> 00:35:28,359 Speaker 1: and I'm a newbie. I know that because she's and 582 00:35:28,400 --> 00:35:30,960 Speaker 1: you were going to say this, Tiff, I know. I 583 00:35:31,080 --> 00:35:33,640 Speaker 1: know that she's going to modify it for me because 584 00:35:33,640 --> 00:35:36,400 Speaker 1: she's good. I know that she's going to give me 585 00:35:36,680 --> 00:35:40,800 Speaker 1: a modified version of what everyone else is doing because 586 00:35:40,920 --> 00:35:43,480 Speaker 1: I'm a brand newbie and I don't have their fitness, 587 00:35:43,560 --> 00:35:46,520 Speaker 1: or their skill or their understanding. Am I right with that? 588 00:35:47,239 --> 00:35:49,319 Speaker 2: Yeah? The other thing I was going to say when 589 00:35:49,320 --> 00:35:53,680 Speaker 2: you said before group training, you train harder. Some people 590 00:35:53,760 --> 00:35:56,480 Speaker 2: will and some people won't. It depends how you're wired 591 00:35:56,520 --> 00:35:59,480 Speaker 2: for it. So I'll train, I'm competitive, I'll train twice 592 00:35:59,560 --> 00:36:03,319 Speaker 2: is hard. Yeah, some people need a one on one 593 00:36:03,440 --> 00:36:07,400 Speaker 2: coach in order to actually because they'll hide behind you know, 594 00:36:07,560 --> 00:36:10,239 Speaker 2: it's fun, but they'll hide behind everybody else's work great 595 00:36:10,320 --> 00:36:11,000 Speaker 2: and their cruise. 596 00:36:13,560 --> 00:36:17,960 Speaker 1: Motherfuckers. The next one is just like a really dumb, 597 00:36:18,040 --> 00:36:22,680 Speaker 1: obvious thing to say, and people will roll their eyes. 598 00:36:22,760 --> 00:36:26,720 Speaker 1: But it's one of the biggest reasons that people aren't. 599 00:36:26,880 --> 00:36:31,120 Speaker 1: Let's just use the term in shape whatever that means consistently, 600 00:36:31,440 --> 00:36:36,160 Speaker 1: and that is they are inconsistent. There are very few 601 00:36:36,200 --> 00:36:40,200 Speaker 1: people who start an exercise program today, the seventeenth of 602 00:36:41,520 --> 00:36:44,279 Speaker 1: June two thousand. They're very few people who go, right, 603 00:36:44,360 --> 00:36:48,480 Speaker 1: that's it. I'm starting today, who in one year from 604 00:36:48,520 --> 00:36:52,040 Speaker 1: today will look back. If one hundred people start today 605 00:36:52,760 --> 00:36:56,759 Speaker 1: and five people are consistent for the next year, that's 606 00:36:56,760 --> 00:37:02,799 Speaker 1: a pretty good outcome. Most people stop and start. If 607 00:37:02,800 --> 00:37:08,000 Speaker 1: we're talking about percentages of the overall population, even gym members, 608 00:37:08,040 --> 00:37:12,040 Speaker 1: we know there are a there's a very fluctuating percentage 609 00:37:12,080 --> 00:37:14,839 Speaker 1: of people who come and go, there's a big percentage. 610 00:37:15,520 --> 00:37:18,040 Speaker 1: And then of just the general community, you go, you 611 00:37:18,080 --> 00:37:20,719 Speaker 1: know what, I'm going to get fit, strong, whatever. They 612 00:37:20,760 --> 00:37:25,480 Speaker 1: start something and then they stop. It is statistically the 613 00:37:25,680 --> 00:37:32,239 Speaker 1: vast majority. So, without contradicting myself, I'm going to go 614 00:37:32,320 --> 00:37:34,840 Speaker 1: back now and say a seven out of ten program 615 00:37:34,880 --> 00:37:38,399 Speaker 1: that you do consistently is way better than a ten 616 00:37:38,440 --> 00:37:42,120 Speaker 1: out of ten program that you never fucking do you know? 617 00:37:42,880 --> 00:37:45,880 Speaker 2: Give me your top two tips for those people? What 618 00:37:45,920 --> 00:37:49,440 Speaker 2: are the top two things to stop being inconsistent? 619 00:37:50,000 --> 00:37:53,279 Speaker 1: Yeah, so a couple of things, So can I give 620 00:37:53,280 --> 00:37:56,919 Speaker 1: you more than two? One is regular assessment some kind 621 00:37:56,960 --> 00:38:01,280 Speaker 1: of accountability. Like accountability comes in many forms. So for example, 622 00:38:01,320 --> 00:38:03,480 Speaker 1: you go, well, every twenty eight days I'm checking in 623 00:38:03,560 --> 00:38:05,920 Speaker 1: with ARP. So I'm checking in with TIF. I'm going 624 00:38:05,960 --> 00:38:08,480 Speaker 1: to do get a body composition test, or I'm going 625 00:38:08,520 --> 00:38:10,160 Speaker 1: to do a fitness test or a strength test, or 626 00:38:10,160 --> 00:38:12,520 Speaker 1: I'm just going to check in and I'm going to 627 00:38:12,560 --> 00:38:14,600 Speaker 1: fill out a diary. In those twenty eight days, I'm 628 00:38:14,640 --> 00:38:16,200 Speaker 1: going to go see TIF. I'm going to sit down, 629 00:38:16,200 --> 00:38:18,239 Speaker 1: I'm going to have a two hour session. She's going 630 00:38:18,280 --> 00:38:20,440 Speaker 1: to read my diary, give me feedback. She's going to 631 00:38:20,440 --> 00:38:22,759 Speaker 1: write me a new program for the month. We're going 632 00:38:22,800 --> 00:38:24,880 Speaker 1: to singcome Bay, have an arm wrestle, and I'm going 633 00:38:24,920 --> 00:38:28,759 Speaker 1: to fuck off. Right, So, anything that will help you 634 00:38:29,960 --> 00:38:32,960 Speaker 1: be consistent, that could be having a training partner. We 635 00:38:33,040 --> 00:38:35,919 Speaker 1: know that even just like the fact that I train 636 00:38:36,000 --> 00:38:39,040 Speaker 1: with the crab every day means I'm more likely to go, 637 00:38:39,480 --> 00:38:41,839 Speaker 1: the fact that I train with him means I'm more 638 00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:47,040 Speaker 1: likely to statistically train at a better level. And so 639 00:38:48,040 --> 00:38:52,200 Speaker 1: accountability comes in many forms. But what you don't want 640 00:38:52,239 --> 00:38:54,160 Speaker 1: to rely on is you don't want to rely on 641 00:38:54,239 --> 00:38:57,680 Speaker 1: motivation and inspiration. As I've said a million times. And also, 642 00:38:58,320 --> 00:39:01,680 Speaker 1: and this is a bit more fucking actually fearly philosophical, 643 00:39:01,880 --> 00:39:06,239 Speaker 1: but in some ways very very practical. If you can execute, 644 00:39:06,680 --> 00:39:14,080 Speaker 1: and that is get clear about your non negotiables around everything, 645 00:39:14,520 --> 00:39:16,719 Speaker 1: like what is okay, not what do you want to 646 00:39:16,760 --> 00:39:19,799 Speaker 1: do or hope to do, but what will you absolutely, 647 00:39:20,000 --> 00:39:23,840 Speaker 1: unequivocally fucking do day in and day out, no matter what, 648 00:39:24,920 --> 00:39:27,600 Speaker 1: barring some kind of major problem in your life, but 649 00:39:27,719 --> 00:39:31,480 Speaker 1: that aside, what is the thing that you will do, 650 00:39:31,520 --> 00:39:33,840 Speaker 1: not want to do, not intend to do, not hope do, 651 00:39:34,520 --> 00:39:36,279 Speaker 1: hope to do, but what is the thing that you 652 00:39:36,360 --> 00:39:39,080 Speaker 1: will do? So when we and I mean like, there's 653 00:39:39,120 --> 00:39:42,160 Speaker 1: a big difference between identifying your non negotiables and then 654 00:39:42,239 --> 00:39:47,120 Speaker 1: executing them, right, But if if you're not executing them, 655 00:39:47,200 --> 00:39:49,880 Speaker 1: then they're not non negotiables. It's just fucking more words 656 00:39:49,920 --> 00:39:53,600 Speaker 1: in the wind, Like tell me you know you might 657 00:39:53,680 --> 00:39:55,400 Speaker 1: go for the next year, I'm going to do a 658 00:39:55,480 --> 00:39:58,080 Speaker 1: minimum of thirty minutes cardio a day. And that could 659 00:39:58,080 --> 00:40:01,560 Speaker 1: be sprinting like a fucking cray person up and down ramps, 660 00:40:02,200 --> 00:40:04,960 Speaker 1: or it could be strolling around suburbia with headphones on. 661 00:40:05,280 --> 00:40:08,640 Speaker 1: But I'm going to do something that's not incidental or 662 00:40:08,680 --> 00:40:14,080 Speaker 1: occupational where I'm actually moving my body. Now, everyone including 663 00:40:14,120 --> 00:40:18,919 Speaker 1: my mum, could do that, right, Let's do one more. 664 00:40:20,120 --> 00:40:22,919 Speaker 1: The last one I'm going to do. I'm going to say, 665 00:40:23,200 --> 00:40:28,719 Speaker 1: is just not enough volume. Some people come into the 666 00:40:28,800 --> 00:40:32,319 Speaker 1: gym and they do in the in a one hour 667 00:40:32,440 --> 00:40:35,360 Speaker 1: session in the gym, if you add it up the 668 00:40:35,400 --> 00:40:39,279 Speaker 1: time that they're actually lifting or training some people, not 669 00:40:39,360 --> 00:40:41,560 Speaker 1: all people, of course, but it might be twenty minutes. 670 00:40:42,040 --> 00:40:44,719 Speaker 1: And if you watch me in the crab, that might 671 00:40:44,760 --> 00:40:45,959 Speaker 1: be four minutes an hour. 672 00:40:48,960 --> 00:40:50,400 Speaker 2: Say anything, Yeah. 673 00:40:50,239 --> 00:40:52,279 Speaker 1: Well it's I'm put up my hand like there are 674 00:40:52,280 --> 00:40:55,200 Speaker 1: sometimes when I leave the gym and I have not 675 00:40:55,400 --> 00:40:56,000 Speaker 1: done enough. 676 00:40:56,320 --> 00:40:56,600 Speaker 2: Right. 677 00:40:57,400 --> 00:41:00,719 Speaker 1: So anyway, there is some food for thought. Anything you 678 00:41:00,800 --> 00:41:04,640 Speaker 1: want to add or change or suggest. Tiffany and Cook, No. 679 00:41:04,520 --> 00:41:06,759 Speaker 2: I no. When you talked about consistency, I was just 680 00:41:06,800 --> 00:41:08,319 Speaker 2: going to upset it before. But I was just going 681 00:41:08,400 --> 00:41:14,000 Speaker 2: to say, having flexibility in that consistency. Consistency, so like that, 682 00:41:14,360 --> 00:41:18,120 Speaker 2: knowing the balance between listening to your body and just 683 00:41:18,160 --> 00:41:21,359 Speaker 2: doing it doing a thing. So if you're you get 684 00:41:21,440 --> 00:41:23,399 Speaker 2: up and you can't sprint, just get up and go 685 00:41:23,440 --> 00:41:26,320 Speaker 2: for a walk, but do like replace it instead of canceling, 686 00:41:26,800 --> 00:41:29,960 Speaker 2: replace the thing for a substitute thing that still ticks 687 00:41:30,000 --> 00:41:31,719 Speaker 2: that this is my fitness thing. 688 00:41:32,760 --> 00:41:35,759 Speaker 1: Yes, perfect. I just thought of one more, which I'll 689 00:41:35,800 --> 00:41:37,759 Speaker 1: chuck in. I'm not even going to charge people for it. 690 00:41:37,800 --> 00:41:40,160 Speaker 1: Fuck it. You can have it. You can have it, 691 00:41:40,520 --> 00:41:45,680 Speaker 1: You're welcome. My last one is shit form. Shit form. 692 00:41:46,440 --> 00:41:50,560 Speaker 1: So you you, as a boxer and a boxing coach, 693 00:41:50,640 --> 00:41:56,719 Speaker 1: you would watch some some nuffies on the bag and go, 694 00:41:56,920 --> 00:42:00,759 Speaker 1: oh my god, and then you probably you even see 695 00:42:00,840 --> 00:42:05,680 Speaker 1: trainers who can't box coaching people with pads, going what 696 00:42:05,880 --> 00:42:09,000 Speaker 1: the actual fuck you're going to injure them? And if 697 00:42:09,040 --> 00:42:12,080 Speaker 1: they ever actually need to throw a punch, they don't 698 00:42:12,160 --> 00:42:15,560 Speaker 1: really know what to do right, And so you know, like, 699 00:42:15,800 --> 00:42:19,480 Speaker 1: let's start with good technique and good form from the start. 700 00:42:20,560 --> 00:42:23,040 Speaker 1: That could be anything like what I just described throwing 701 00:42:23,080 --> 00:42:26,400 Speaker 1: a punch. It could be you know, people who are 702 00:42:26,400 --> 00:42:28,680 Speaker 1: doing movements in the gym and they're only doing half 703 00:42:28,719 --> 00:42:31,439 Speaker 1: the range of movement. You know, they're doing a bench 704 00:42:31,480 --> 00:42:33,440 Speaker 1: press and they're moving, you know, the full range of 705 00:42:33,480 --> 00:42:37,440 Speaker 1: movement is let's say forty centimeters, but they're doing twenty 706 00:42:37,480 --> 00:42:41,200 Speaker 1: centimeters and thinking they've just done ten reps when they've 707 00:42:41,200 --> 00:42:43,799 Speaker 1: actually done ten half reps. And not only have they 708 00:42:43,920 --> 00:42:47,319 Speaker 1: then done ten half reps, they've missed out the part 709 00:42:47,320 --> 00:42:50,320 Speaker 1: of the movement, the bottom part that requires the most strength, 710 00:42:51,360 --> 00:42:53,759 Speaker 1: so they're not getting benefit. You know. It might be 711 00:42:53,840 --> 00:42:56,560 Speaker 1: that they're doing reps too quick, too slow. It might 712 00:42:56,600 --> 00:43:01,279 Speaker 1: be that their posture is atrocious, you know. So it's 713 00:43:01,400 --> 00:43:05,840 Speaker 1: just all of that. We want to train sensibly, progressively, 714 00:43:06,080 --> 00:43:11,680 Speaker 1: consistently appropriately, and we want to make sure that we 715 00:43:11,800 --> 00:43:15,840 Speaker 1: are doing it with good technique. What's the I always, 716 00:43:16,040 --> 00:43:17,879 Speaker 1: you know, say to people that is, once they've got 717 00:43:17,880 --> 00:43:21,879 Speaker 1: a base and they're good to go, do the heaviest 718 00:43:22,000 --> 00:43:27,319 Speaker 1: you can do with awesome form, right and if you 719 00:43:27,360 --> 00:43:30,960 Speaker 1: can't do three reps of awesome form, that weight is 720 00:43:31,000 --> 00:43:35,319 Speaker 1: too heavy, probably five or six reps. So take it 721 00:43:35,400 --> 00:43:38,400 Speaker 1: down to a weight where you can do what is 722 00:43:38,480 --> 00:43:42,239 Speaker 1: for you. Because what because heavy is relative. If you 723 00:43:42,280 --> 00:43:46,040 Speaker 1: can do five or six heavy whatever the movement is 724 00:43:46,120 --> 00:43:49,440 Speaker 1: heavy reps with good form, then great, you know. So 725 00:43:49,719 --> 00:43:55,960 Speaker 1: for matters TIF, if people want to box with you, 726 00:43:56,719 --> 00:43:58,560 Speaker 1: if people want to come to one of your groups 727 00:43:58,920 --> 00:44:00,439 Speaker 1: in Melbourne, can they do that? 728 00:44:00,760 --> 00:44:04,080 Speaker 2: Well. I'm not currently running any of my workshops, which 729 00:44:04,120 --> 00:44:07,160 Speaker 2: I do intermittently, but I do.
