25
00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:28,040

27
00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:35,600
Speaker 1: your address on it. Um. I just got back from London.

28
00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:37,600
Speaker 1: I went and I saw Wimbledon. I saw a bunch

29
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:40,040
Speaker 1: of people play tennis, which I love. I love going

30
00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:43,240
Speaker 1: to London for Wimbledon. It's one of the most civilized

31
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:48,080
Speaker 1: sporting events and and it's civilized. Well just watching it

32
00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:50,760
Speaker 1: is just a civilized experience being at Wimbledon because I

33
00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:52,920
Speaker 1: have a royal problem with I know you love football

34
00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:55,640
Speaker 1: basketball because you train a lot of those guys to

35
00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:59,280
Speaker 1: Wimbledon's actually on my action not with a T. It's

36
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:05,640
Speaker 1: wimbled and with a D. Wimble done. I can't even

37
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:09,959
Speaker 1: say it right now, that's the right way, wimble Ton done.

38
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:14,280
Speaker 1: Whatever is on my bucket list of sporting events. That

39
00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:16,240
Speaker 1: and the Masters are the next two that I want

40
00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:19,399
Speaker 1: to check up. And the Masters is golf. Masters is golf? Yeah, yeah,

41
00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:21,200
Speaker 1: I don't need to see that. Do you have a

42
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:23,359
Speaker 1: preference for sporting events, Brandon not one. I love to

43
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:24,800
Speaker 1: go to a live supporting event, but I'm not going

44
00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:26,720
Speaker 1: to watch anything on TV. Okay, well, we had a

45
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:29,240
Speaker 1: huge victory for the US with the Women's Cup, and

46
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:32,480
Speaker 1: that is something that I could watch over and over

47
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:35,760
Speaker 1: and over again. Even though I don't understand soccer. I

48
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:37,680
Speaker 1: don't get any of the plays. I just know when

49
00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:41,600
Speaker 1: somebody makes a goal. The problem with soccer, though, when

50
00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:43,840
Speaker 1: you say that, I'm with you, is that in a

51
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:46,960
Speaker 1: ninety minute game, there's like one to two goals and

52
00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:49,440
Speaker 1: they always seem to happen when you like get up

53
00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:51,000
Speaker 1: to take a piss or something like that. So the

54
00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:53,840
Speaker 1: most of the time you're watching the game, they just

55
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:56,960
Speaker 1: kick it down, they shoot miss, there's a corner kick,

56
00:02:57,040 --> 00:02:59,120
Speaker 1: they go back the other way like nothing happens. That's

57
00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:03,000
Speaker 1: the tricky part for me with soccer. I feel like

58
00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:04,760
Speaker 1: soccer is on the sports to where you have to

59
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:07,720
Speaker 1: have played it to really enjoy it. Like if you

60
00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:09,040
Speaker 1: go to watch it, you're not just going to a

61
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:11,600
Speaker 1: football game, like have a beer and watch what happens soccer.

62
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:14,880
Speaker 1: Those are committed people. But I used to play soccer,

63
00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:17,560
Speaker 1: but I still feel because there aren't a ton of

64
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:21,720
Speaker 1: goals except the US running up to score in the

65
00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:24,400
Speaker 1: first in the first round. But for the most part,

66
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:29,000
Speaker 1: it's one to two goals and you know, then a

67
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:33,239
Speaker 1: whole lot of jogging around nothing. Well, I mean it's

68
00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:37,840
Speaker 1: but it's the most watched. Yeah, I mean, people love

69
00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:42,440
Speaker 1: women soccer. People love it more than men right now too. Yeah,

70
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:45,640
Speaker 1: I'm sure I'm firmly on the bandwagon. Yeah, why would

71
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:47,880
Speaker 1: There's nothing not to love for men and women. It's

72
00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:50,920
Speaker 1: got everything for something for everybody. This is their fourth

73
00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:55,160
Speaker 1: consecutive title. I don't know about that. It's their second

74
00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:59,040
Speaker 1: consecutive title, do you know, Ben, I don't. I don't.

75
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:02,560
Speaker 1: I mean when I say I'm firmly on the bandwagon,

76
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:05,280
Speaker 1: I was firmly on the bandwagon four years ago too.

77
00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:11,640
Speaker 1: For like, who's your favorite player? Well, I mean Megan

78
00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:20,719
Speaker 1: Rapino is a study. Um, Alex Morgan is stud to study. Yeah, yeah,

79
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:24,480
Speaker 1: she's probably my favorite. Well, yeah, I like how viciferous

80
00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:29,760
Speaker 1: Megan Rapino is. I like really okay for Alex Morgan? Okay, Well,

81
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:31,680
Speaker 1: I'll see if she contacts us and we can let

82
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:36,359
Speaker 1: you know. Um, we brought you here specifically today, So anyway,

83
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:41,680
Speaker 1: we first of all. Anyways, first of all, I want

84
00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:44,279
Speaker 1: to say congratulations, and I want to say that every

85
00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:47,279
Speaker 1: victory like this is so great for women. And this

86
00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:50,880
Speaker 1: has been happening a long time, but uh with women's soccer,

87
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:53,280
Speaker 1: but it's really great to see it, especially when we

88
00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:58,120
Speaker 1: have such uh, such competitive women. I mean, we are

89
00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:00,880
Speaker 1: the best soccer team right now, right in the US.

90
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:06,000
Speaker 1: But we won one seems like so easily. Each country.

91
00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:07,839
Speaker 1: It was like a gold and a half because it

92
00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:09,840
Speaker 1: was we won, but it was like a beat down

93
00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:16,000
Speaker 1: every Yeah. Okay, so let's talk about working out because

94
00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:17,760
Speaker 1: how long? How long have I known You've been a

95
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:20,359
Speaker 1: lot of people are curious about our workouts and people

96
00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:21,920
Speaker 1: say I look really good. So I want to say

97
00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:23,760
Speaker 1: thank you because I know you know that I don't

98
00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:26,560
Speaker 1: always feel that way, that I'm very hard on myself,

99
00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:31,279
Speaker 1: and that I don't always take compliments very well well

100
00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:33,920
Speaker 1: at all. Okay, so when did we start working out together?

101
00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:39,239
Speaker 1: We started working out I remember March of two thousand

102
00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:45,160
Speaker 1: and fifteen, so that's like four half years. It's it's

103
00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:47,760
Speaker 1: like the trainer equivalent of common law. It's been a while, yeah,

104
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:50,240
Speaker 1: and there's a lot of like trainers out here in

105
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:52,680
Speaker 1: l A. And so I was very averse to having

106
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:55,320
Speaker 1: one of those celebrity type trainers that trains a lot

107
00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:58,560
Speaker 1: of celebrities because I don't like that action. I like

108
00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:01,719
Speaker 1: to be on the d L. You do train other celebrities,

109
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:03,840
Speaker 1: but you don't seem to be an asshole about it.

110
00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:08,080
Speaker 1: I try try not to be an asshole. Brandon, do

111
00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:10,520
Speaker 1: you think Ben's an asshole? No? Ben is the nicest

112
00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:14,120
Speaker 1: guy around, nicer than you. Well, I don't know. That's

113
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:18,280
Speaker 1: a tough call, but Ben, do you think Brandon's nice?

114
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:22,120
Speaker 1: Brandon is really nice? Thanks Ben. Earlier you mentioned that

115
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:24,840
Speaker 1: he does train a lot of athletes, and what is

116
00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:27,640
Speaker 1: the difference in that clientele because it's pretty specific and

117
00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:29,560
Speaker 1: you don't talk about a lot of your celebrity clients,

118
00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:33,479
Speaker 1: but you do post a lot about your athletes. Yeah,

119
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:37,520
Speaker 1: you know, well, uh, the thing about training athletes, my

120
00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:40,840
Speaker 1: background is actually training athletes before I moved to l A.

121
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:44,240
Speaker 1: That's mostly what I did. And And where were you

122
00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:48,320
Speaker 1: before l A? Right outside of Boston, Luburn, Massachusetts. And

123
00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:53,840
Speaker 1: the thing about training athletes in l all So, to backtrack,

124
00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:56,760
Speaker 1: in Boston, I trained a mix of pro athletes, but

125
00:06:56,880 --> 00:06:59,640
Speaker 1: it was mostly year round. It was middle school, high school,

126
00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:04,160
Speaker 1: and Kyle of athletes, and in l A now it's

127
00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:07,280
Speaker 1: just pro athletes. So that means that when I say

128
00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:10,280
Speaker 1: that I train athletes, it's like for two or three

129
00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:11,880
Speaker 1: months out of the year and then the rest of

130
00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:13,640
Speaker 1: the time they're in season doing their thing. It's just

131
00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:16,040
Speaker 1: in the off season. So it's not like I'm training

132
00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:19,040
Speaker 1: the year round. The clients like Chelsea that live here,

133
00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:21,720
Speaker 1: it's year round. And so when you look at somebody

134
00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:24,000
Speaker 1: like me, because there's a big fallacy that women can't

135
00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:27,160
Speaker 1: lift weights because we're gonna get bulky, and you've shown

136
00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:29,280
Speaker 1: me that that's not true because I lift heavy weights

137
00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:32,120
Speaker 1: and I'm smaller than I have been my entire life

138
00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:34,680
Speaker 1: working out, and that's true for other clients of yours,

139
00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:37,000
Speaker 1: like kd Upton says the same thing, that she lifts heavy,

140
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:39,640
Speaker 1: heavy weights and she's thinner than she's ever been. Um,

141
00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:43,400
Speaker 1: and you, so, what what is that? What is the

142
00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:46,320
Speaker 1: philosophy there to explain to women to not be scared,

143
00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:48,800
Speaker 1: not be scared of weights Because I was scared of

144
00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:51,040
Speaker 1: weights and I thought cardio was the way. And what

145
00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:53,840
Speaker 1: I've discovered is the less cardio I do the more weights,

146
00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:56,360
Speaker 1: the leaner I am. Well, I think a lot of

147
00:07:56,400 --> 00:08:00,280
Speaker 1: women are scared to lift weights, understandably so because a

148
00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:03,560
Speaker 1: lot of the programs out there come from guys, and

149
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:06,680
Speaker 1: a lot of the guys that train women train the

150
00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:09,000
Speaker 1: women like they would train themselves. And I think that

151
00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:12,440
Speaker 1: when I talk about strength training for women, I'm not

152
00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:16,120
Speaker 1: talking about doing tons of bench press and that type

153
00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:19,240
Speaker 1: of stuff. It focuses on the areas that women want

154
00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:21,160
Speaker 1: to focus on. And when I you know, and the

155
00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:23,840
Speaker 1: thing now is like I do personal training, So the

156
00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:26,000
Speaker 1: workouts you do are different than some of the other

157
00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:28,000
Speaker 1: women I trained because of the areas you're trying to

158
00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:30,120
Speaker 1: focus on and your injury history and all that type

159
00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:32,480
Speaker 1: of stuff. But the thing about the weights is that

160
00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:37,400
Speaker 1: I don't think women always really realize. The word that

161
00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:39,720
Speaker 1: I hear a lot is they want to be toned

162
00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:42,720
Speaker 1: instead of like guys say, like jacked or whatever. Women

163
00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:45,280
Speaker 1: want to be toned, but like tone. When you hear

164
00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:47,080
Speaker 1: a guy come in and say I want to get jacked,

165
00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:48,679
Speaker 1: do you want to punch him in the face? I mean,

166
00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:51,160
Speaker 1: that would be real douchy. I've thankfully I've never really

167
00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:54,280
Speaker 1: had anybody say that. Maybe I have actually had people

168
00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:56,600
Speaker 1: say that, but because sometimes it seems like the week

169
00:08:56,679 --> 00:08:58,480
Speaker 1: the workouts you get up to on the weekends with

170
00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:01,960
Speaker 1: your buddies seemed very gerilla ish. Yeah, I I have

171
00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:04,200
Speaker 1: that inner meat head in me that I kind of

172
00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:06,840
Speaker 1: have to channel. You know, I used to be actually

173
00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:08,400
Speaker 1: before you met me, I was way more of a

174
00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:12,360
Speaker 1: meathead and then I've kind of become a little bit

175
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:15,400
Speaker 1: soft since I moved to l A. But I still

176
00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:17,120
Speaker 1: have that meathead in me. Do you think that's the

177
00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:19,000
Speaker 1: thing people come becomes soft when they moved to l

178
00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:22,720
Speaker 1: A totally? And yeah, exactly. I mean it's happened to me.

179
00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:25,200
Speaker 1: I drink like greens juice and ship like things that

180
00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:27,040
Speaker 1: I would have like I want to kick my own

181
00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:30,600
Speaker 1: ass sometimes, Like for the things I'm doing now, it's

182
00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:35,360
Speaker 1: just hard to do. I haven't figured out a way. Um. Yeah, no,

183
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:38,520
Speaker 1: I've definitely changed. I don't think I'm like a huge,

184
00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:42,120
Speaker 1: huge pussy yet, but it's like I'm more so than

185
00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:46,000
Speaker 1: I was when I moved here. But you're right, the workouts,

186
00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:48,280
Speaker 1: it's funny. I spend my whole I don't know if

187
00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:51,000
Speaker 1: it's funny. I say that too much, but it's not

188
00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:54,319
Speaker 1: funny at all, but thank you, because I don't want

189
00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:58,120
Speaker 1: the listeners looking forward to something funny. So I spend

190
00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:01,880
Speaker 1: my whole day with clients being somewhat of a mom

191
00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:05,640
Speaker 1: and being very um, you know, overly cautious with what

192
00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:08,000
Speaker 1: I have them do. I really don't want to hurt

193
00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:10,839
Speaker 1: my clients, which you know you shouldn't want to hurt

194
00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:14,199
Speaker 1: your clients. But then what makes me happy as far

195
00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:16,880
Speaker 1: as training is like doing all the stupid ship that

196
00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:19,560
Speaker 1: I tell my clients not to do, so, you know,

197
00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:22,560
Speaker 1: sort of when everybody goes home, then that's like when

198
00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:26,320
Speaker 1: my buddies come over and I do, you know, questionably

199
00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:28,680
Speaker 1: reckless things that I just want to do. On the

200
00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:30,760
Speaker 1: subject of moving to l a m becoming more, I

201
00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:33,520
Speaker 1: guess of a pussy, right, because we all we all

202
00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:36,080
Speaker 1: have I have to say that I said that, and

203
00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:38,680
Speaker 1: then I almost didn't say it because sometimes when I

204
00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:42,920
Speaker 1: say that, women say that that's a really mean thing,

205
00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:45,760
Speaker 1: and I shouldn't say that, So you don't I don't mean.

206
00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:51,120
Speaker 1: I don't mean that in the mean way. I love pussy, Okay, Brandon,

207
00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:54,280
Speaker 1: do you love pussy? Not in the same way, right,

208
00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:56,560
Speaker 1: So let's just get that off the table right now,

209
00:10:56,679 --> 00:10:58,600
Speaker 1: or on the table. Actually, let's get it off the

210
00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:01,640
Speaker 1: table right. So, Brandon, you have you taken some workout

211
00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:03,360
Speaker 1: tips from Ben? Because I know that you guys come,

212
00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:06,000
Speaker 1: you come in and try, and you know Ben's always

213
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:08,880
Speaker 1: willing to help. I trying to not cross that line

214
00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:11,160
Speaker 1: and when you find someone who has a specific professions

215
00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:12,920
Speaker 1: like asking a doctor for medical advice all the time.

216
00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:15,520
Speaker 1: But he has given me good tips, He's given me supplements.

217
00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:18,400
Speaker 1: He's because Brett, Bret Brandon works out like a lunatic

218
00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:22,079
Speaker 1: more than I do. He's jacked. Yeah, you're what I'm saying.

219
00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:24,440
Speaker 1: I don't but I don't like it. But I think

220
00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:26,240
Speaker 1: that's one of those like body this morph your things.

221
00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:27,760
Speaker 1: You look at it, and as you get bigger, you

222
00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:29,880
Speaker 1: don't see it the same way. When you get thinner.

223
00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:32,199
Speaker 1: It's harder to realize until someone's like, oh, you look

224
00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:34,960
Speaker 1: really thin today, and then it's like, oh, that's the

225
00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:36,960
Speaker 1: affirmation that you need that you're doing the right thing.

226
00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:38,960
Speaker 1: I want to go back to something you said really quick,

227
00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:41,160
Speaker 1: because you said that like you never want to hurt

228
00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:43,720
Speaker 1: anyone that you train, But what does that threshold like

229
00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:46,600
Speaker 1: When Chelsea says that she wants to like either tone

230
00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:48,800
Speaker 1: or tighten a certain area, Like how do you know

231
00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:51,600
Speaker 1: how far to push it still making them uncomfortable to

232
00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:55,280
Speaker 1: get better but not hurting them obviously. Well, that's a

233
00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:59,520
Speaker 1: great question because when you're a personal trainer. I'm friends

234
00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:02,040
Speaker 1: with a lot of physical therapists and we always talk

235
00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:05,400
Speaker 1: about how our jobs are seemingly similar, but they're very

236
00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:10,000
Speaker 1: different because nobody comes to me to address their injuries.

237
00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:12,640
Speaker 1: They come to me to if they're an athlete and

238
00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:17,559
Speaker 1: you know, improve their performance or most people, it's more aesthetic,

239
00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:20,160
Speaker 1: you know, or or health or what. But most most

240
00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:22,040
Speaker 1: of the time it's aesthetic. And to get in really

241
00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:25,720
Speaker 1: really good shape, you have to train really really hard

242
00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:28,960
Speaker 1: and push your body, but you can't get hurt. You

243
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:31,120
Speaker 1: know that the easiest way to get out of shape

244
00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:32,640
Speaker 1: is to get hurt and not be able to train.

245
00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:36,120
Speaker 1: And my clients always come to me wanting to push

246
00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:39,240
Speaker 1: it hard and getting good shape and things, and I

247
00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:43,880
Speaker 1: am sometimes I'm very conservative because having hurt myself and

248
00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:46,079
Speaker 1: had gone and I've actually had a couple of surgeries,

249
00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:48,120
Speaker 1: that's when you get out of shape. But my clients

250
00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:51,320
Speaker 1: don't always like see that. So, like Chelsea, sometimes feels

251
00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:53,480
Speaker 1: like I ask her too much how she's feeling, or

252
00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:55,120
Speaker 1: she wants to work through things when I want to

253
00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:59,120
Speaker 1: let it rest because I kind of know like in

254
00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:01,560
Speaker 1: the moment, they don't think about getting hurt, but I

255
00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:03,840
Speaker 1: know like if you get hurt, then you know that

256
00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:07,360
Speaker 1: sucks and that puts your life on hold. So safety

257
00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:10,440
Speaker 1: is kind of like the underlying thing of any program.

258
00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:11,880
Speaker 1: But at the same time, yeah, you do have to

259
00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:15,640
Speaker 1: train really really hard to get results. You know, it's

260
00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:18,640
Speaker 1: um but I also think that the you know, like

261
00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:21,360
Speaker 1: I I've been talking this whole podcast and my tour

262
00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:23,280
Speaker 1: of it has been a lot of therapy talk. I

263
00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:25,360
Speaker 1: think the to go hand in hand a lot because

264
00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:28,040
Speaker 1: I think becoming really physical, Like I used to look

265
00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:31,000
Speaker 1: at physical fitness as a necessary evil, like I just

266
00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:32,880
Speaker 1: had to do it to remain thin because I was

267
00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:35,040
Speaker 1: on TV all the time. Now I look at as

268
00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:38,840
Speaker 1: a mental necessity because to stay fit physically is linked

269
00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:41,480
Speaker 1: with staying fit emotionally and staying fit mentally. Like the

270
00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:43,480
Speaker 1: to go hand in hand. So when when when you

271
00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:49,200
Speaker 1: when I don't feel strong physically, it affects me mentally,

272
00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:52,240
Speaker 1: and I want to feel strong in both areas and

273
00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:54,760
Speaker 1: those two things. People say that to you, I think

274
00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:57,640
Speaker 1: a lot when you're learning about fitness or you're getting

275
00:13:57,679 --> 00:13:59,679
Speaker 1: into fitness, and you're like, yeah, funk off, but it's

276
00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:03,120
Speaker 1: so true. Oh, it's so true. Well for me, I've

277
00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:05,840
Speaker 1: always said that working out is like therapy for me,

278
00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:08,280
Speaker 1: and I've always met that. I used to literally just

279
00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:10,280
Speaker 1: work out. I didn't go to therapy. Now I do both.

280
00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:12,600
Speaker 1: But yeah, we both go to there and we meditated

281
00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:14,920
Speaker 1: together the other day on the lawn right in the sunshine.

282
00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:18,160
Speaker 1: Wasn't that nice? Yeah? And then Ben fell asleep for

283
00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:20,960
Speaker 1: two hours. If that gives you any indication of his personality,

284
00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:24,040
Speaker 1: I just passed right out. What I was going to say, though,

285
00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:27,080
Speaker 1: is I think you know, guys tend to get a

286
00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:29,760
Speaker 1: default emotion is like anger, piste off. But a lot

287
00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:33,160
Speaker 1: of guys that I know feel similar literally to me,

288
00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:36,200
Speaker 1: that when they're piste off, that you know, doing a

289
00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:39,920
Speaker 1: really hard workout and turning on angry music and you know,

290
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:44,160
Speaker 1: lifting really heavy weights just somehow makes you feel better, right,

291
00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:46,080
Speaker 1: you know? Do you feel that way when you work out? Like,

292
00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:47,840
Speaker 1: if you're angry, do you want to go work out?

293
00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:50,720
Speaker 1: I'm stoned a lot when I work out so it

294
00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:53,280
Speaker 1: helps me I deal with ben and then be It

295
00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:56,680
Speaker 1: helps me really focus on the workout and then I

296
00:14:56,720 --> 00:14:58,920
Speaker 1: get really strong, like the couple of times i've been

297
00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:02,560
Speaker 1: really stoned. Remember, you've had good workouts. I've had great

298
00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:05,560
Speaker 1: workout So now I know. Okay, you know, and I've

299
00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:07,680
Speaker 1: had good workouts when you're stone because you tend to

300
00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:11,360
Speaker 1: be nicer to me, which I appreciate. Right, Okay, well,

301
00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:15,080
Speaker 1: I guess you're welcome. Thank you. I want to ask

302
00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:17,480
Speaker 1: you a question about therapy because you never went to

303
00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:20,040
Speaker 1: therapy until you moved to California. Right. I did twice,

304
00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:22,560
Speaker 1: but I was over two. It was never stuck. And

305
00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:24,480
Speaker 1: so what made you want to go to therapy? I

306
00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:26,480
Speaker 1: like when men talk about therapy, so I think it's

307
00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:29,320
Speaker 1: important for us to discuss it a little bit. What

308
00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:31,800
Speaker 1: made you decide to bite the bullet and find a

309
00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:36,320
Speaker 1: therapist here? Well, I first went to therapy against my

310
00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:40,080
Speaker 1: will when I was like ten, and my my dad

311
00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:44,040
Speaker 1: committed suicide when I was nine. And that's really tricky

312
00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:46,840
Speaker 1: to figure out at any age, I think, but it's

313
00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:48,560
Speaker 1: I know. All I can say is that it's really

314
00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:51,480
Speaker 1: tricky to figure out when you're ten and I was

315
00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:55,040
Speaker 1: put in therapy with more of like a psychiatrist, and

316
00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:57,440
Speaker 1: also wanted to give me medicine, and I didn't like

317
00:15:57,600 --> 00:16:01,720
Speaker 1: the medicine. I didn't like talking about stuff, and so

318
00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:06,160
Speaker 1: I basically stopped going. As soon as I convinced my

319
00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:08,520
Speaker 1: mom to stop going, I just and I never bought in.

320
00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:12,440
Speaker 1: I used to with my psychiatrists. We would just play

321
00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:15,280
Speaker 1: cards and stuff like that, and I would very rarely

322
00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:18,280
Speaker 1: talk about anything. The second time I went to therapy,

323
00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:22,080
Speaker 1: I went through a really bad depression for like two years,

324
00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:26,480
Speaker 1: to the point that because I think my dad committed suicide,

325
00:16:26,520 --> 00:16:28,320
Speaker 1: I always vowed I would never do that because it

326
00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:31,080
Speaker 1: seems like a really frankly, just a cowardly thing to

327
00:16:31,160 --> 00:16:34,560
Speaker 1: do two people that love you. But I used to

328
00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:37,880
Speaker 1: really when I was like nineteen and twenty, I used

329
00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:40,640
Speaker 1: to like look at people that got in fatal car

330
00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:43,480
Speaker 1: accidents and think like lucky bastard, because I just felt

331
00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:47,000
Speaker 1: really in pain all the time, and I didn't think

332
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:49,320
Speaker 1: I was going to get better, and I couldn't drive,

333
00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:53,120
Speaker 1: and I felt very isolated because my friends were in school,

334
00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:55,320
Speaker 1: and you know, you're kind of out of sight, out

335
00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:57,040
Speaker 1: of mind, so I just felt very lonely, and my

336
00:16:57,160 --> 00:17:00,560
Speaker 1: day consisted of this is prett. Netflix would buy like

337
00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:03,560
Speaker 1: box sets of like The Sopranos and The Wire and

338
00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:05,320
Speaker 1: stuff and just watch them and just try to kill

339
00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:08,359
Speaker 1: the day. So I actually went back to church and

340
00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:11,520
Speaker 1: I didn't like that, and I tried therapy again. And

341
00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:15,080
Speaker 1: did you go on antidepressants that time? No? I did

342
00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:16,760
Speaker 1: when I was ten, and I just like didn't want

343
00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:18,720
Speaker 1: to take him up. So I have an interesting stance

344
00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:21,200
Speaker 1: on antidepressants, interesting to me anyways that we can get into.

345
00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:23,640
Speaker 1: But I went to this therapy, but I wasn't open

346
00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:26,359
Speaker 1: to therapy, and so for somebody, I have a really

347
00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:28,600
Speaker 1: hard time and I still do with my current therapy.

348
00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:32,119
Speaker 1: I have a hard time talking about feelings because I

349
00:17:32,119 --> 00:17:34,280
Speaker 1: think I tend to be somebody that's kind of literal,

350
00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:39,840
Speaker 1: and when people ask me questions that are therapy ish,

351
00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:42,680
Speaker 1: it feels very weird to me, and so I don't

352
00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:44,360
Speaker 1: really know how to answer. Are you able to get

353
00:17:44,359 --> 00:17:48,720
Speaker 1: emotional in front of your therapist? I don't know. No,

354
00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:52,200
Speaker 1: I thinking now, I don't think I ever have. UM.

355
00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:55,320
Speaker 1: I've got emotional very few times. I can remember them all,

356
00:17:55,320 --> 00:17:57,520
Speaker 1: but it's always like random with friends and stuff. Like

357
00:17:57,560 --> 00:18:01,240
Speaker 1: that therapy feels very tricky to me. Um, and so

358
00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:05,119
Speaker 1: I didn't really like it that much when I was

359
00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:10,520
Speaker 1: twenty and then life kind of just chugged along. And

360
00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:14,320
Speaker 1: then I went back to if this is two November

361
00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:18,160
Speaker 1: of two thousand seventeen, I started it back up, and

362
00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:24,960
Speaker 1: that is, Um, it's almost two years now, but it happens. Yeah,

363
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:26,840
Speaker 1: And I think the key to the key to it

364
00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:29,840
Speaker 1: is that when you're open minded, things come to you

365
00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:32,399
Speaker 1: when you break, like you know, me going to therapy

366
00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:34,440
Speaker 1: open my mind, because at first I was shut down,

367
00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:36,720
Speaker 1: and then I became more and more open, and then

368
00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:39,359
Speaker 1: then I'm open to what meditation and then I'm open

369
00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:42,800
Speaker 1: to listening to a podcast like Oprah Super Soul, which

370
00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:45,399
Speaker 1: five years ago I wouldn't have listened to. I wouldn't

371
00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:47,679
Speaker 1: have had the time for. I think being open minded

372
00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:51,080
Speaker 1: it helps in every way, you know, with regard to fitness,

373
00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:53,359
Speaker 1: with regard toss therapy, it's like, okay, I have something

374
00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:56,119
Speaker 1: to learn here. To assume that you don't know everything

375
00:18:56,520 --> 00:18:58,720
Speaker 1: and to say okay, I want to absorb everything I

376
00:18:58,720 --> 00:19:01,320
Speaker 1: don't know about this topic is a great healthy way

377
00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:03,600
Speaker 1: to be. Yeah. And I but I think just being

378
00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:07,080
Speaker 1: open minded too. The idea of therapy is huge too,

379
00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:10,200
Speaker 1: because when I first went, it was like, I don't

380
00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:12,840
Speaker 1: I probably didn't tell you for like three weeks of

381
00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:15,560
Speaker 1: going to therapy. I probably and and you might have

382
00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:18,840
Speaker 1: been one of the earlier people I told, because you

383
00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:21,000
Speaker 1: had told me about your therapy and stuff, so it

384
00:19:21,080 --> 00:19:24,280
Speaker 1: felt like a safe like I honestly kind of saw

385
00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:27,520
Speaker 1: it as a confession. And I didn't tell anybody in

386
00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:30,919
Speaker 1: the beginning. Uh, And a couple of my friends I

387
00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:34,000
Speaker 1: told them that I had a panic attack, and I

388
00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:37,359
Speaker 1: remember thinking I was super embarrassed to tell them, and

389
00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:40,399
Speaker 1: I'm trying to think of like how to describe the embarrassment.

390
00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:42,840
Speaker 1: But it was kind of like I felt like my

391
00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:45,200
Speaker 1: guy friends were going to be like, dude, you're soft,

392
00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:48,040
Speaker 1: Like you're just so soft for doing this. Well, they're

393
00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:51,280
Speaker 1: probably all in therapy. Well that's just it. There were

394
00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:54,000
Speaker 1: so many of my friends because for like five days

395
00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:56,439
Speaker 1: I didn't work out, and it's because my throat was

396
00:19:56,560 --> 00:19:59,119
Speaker 1: like just bugging me out. I felt like I couldn't breathe,

397
00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:01,560
Speaker 1: and so I didn't want to like have to breathe harder.

398
00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:05,159
Speaker 1: And I remember one of my friends coming over and

399
00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:08,320
Speaker 1: was like, dude, it's anxiety, like you could you can

400
00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:11,040
Speaker 1: work out like you're fun And I'm like, oh, you've

401
00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:12,439
Speaker 1: had this, and he was like, yeah, I've had this.

402
00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:15,640
Speaker 1: Come to find out, a ton of guys that I'm

403
00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:18,600
Speaker 1: friends with like go to therapy or we're like, I'd

404
00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:22,119
Speaker 1: like to go to therapy if my financial situation was different.

405
00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:24,960
Speaker 1: It's dope, you're doing that. Like there might be some

406
00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:27,320
Speaker 1: guys out there that are like, oh, man, Ben's a

407
00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:31,440
Speaker 1: huge pussy and but for the most part, I felt

408
00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:34,160
Speaker 1: like a lot of people were like, dude, that's really cool.

409
00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:36,879
Speaker 1: And still it's a little bit weird for me. I

410
00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:39,120
Speaker 1: don't think I've actually ever even like said this publicly,

411
00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:41,439
Speaker 1: but most people in my life know it now. I

412
00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:44,919
Speaker 1: still feel a little weird about the idea, but it

413
00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:48,800
Speaker 1: is there's so many guys that it's like, um, you know,

414
00:20:48,840 --> 00:20:51,320
Speaker 1: the Emperor's new clothes, Like everyone's thinking something, but they

415
00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:53,119
Speaker 1: never say it, Like I think it's that type of

416
00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:58,000
Speaker 1: thing where anybody that I know has has gone through

417
00:20:58,080 --> 00:21:01,920
Speaker 1: similar feelings to me. And don't think everyone's done therapy,

418
00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:04,240
Speaker 1: but a lot more people have than I thought. But

419
00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:07,520
Speaker 1: it's a thing that, um, I think when you talk

420
00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:10,120
Speaker 1: to your friends about those type of things that makes

421
00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:15,639
Speaker 1: your friendships a lot more real or meaningful. Because I

422
00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:19,080
Speaker 1: remember when I came to l A. This place will

423
00:21:19,119 --> 00:21:21,760
Speaker 1: teach you l A like, you know, probably more than

424
00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:24,960
Speaker 1: anywhere in the world. Like money doesn't buy happiness, And

425
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:28,919
Speaker 1: I think that I've learned like it doesn't matter what

426
00:21:29,080 --> 00:21:31,960
Speaker 1: your life is like on the outside, Like everyone's got

427
00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:35,199
Speaker 1: ship they're dealing with, you know, a lot, even if

428
00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:39,920
Speaker 1: your life is ostensibly great. You know, there's stuff that

429
00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:42,640
Speaker 1: that irks people in me in real ways. And it's like,

430
00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:44,560
Speaker 1: you know, if you have a job, you have stress.

431
00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:47,040
Speaker 1: But it's like if you have if you have a family,

432
00:21:47,119 --> 00:21:49,359
Speaker 1: like you have shipped to deal with. If you don't

433
00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:51,119
Speaker 1: have a family, you have shipped to deal with. Like

434
00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:54,159
Speaker 1: there's just everyone's got shipped to deal with, because I

435
00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:56,920
Speaker 1: do think every everybody listening to this podcast has shipped

436
00:21:56,960 --> 00:21:59,040
Speaker 1: to deal with, you know, either some people have the

437
00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:01,199
Speaker 1: luxury of being able to to a therapist, which is

438
00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:04,359
Speaker 1: a luxury, and some people don't. Um but it is

439
00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:06,919
Speaker 1: good to hear that about a guy going to therapy

440
00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:09,879
Speaker 1: because I know every woman in a relationship with a

441
00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:12,720
Speaker 1: man would be happy to know that that person is

442
00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:15,480
Speaker 1: in therapy and that you know there are men going

443
00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:18,320
Speaker 1: and it does help and it's not stupid. I said

444
00:22:18,359 --> 00:22:21,080
Speaker 1: to my cousins recently after their father passed away, that

445
00:22:21,119 --> 00:22:23,640
Speaker 1: they should all go to a therapist and a grief counselor,

446
00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:25,440
Speaker 1: which they were like, we don't need therapy, we don't

447
00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:27,520
Speaker 1: need therapy. And they went to one session with a

448
00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:30,280
Speaker 1: grief counselor and you know, five boys in the room,

449
00:22:30,359 --> 00:22:32,480
Speaker 1: and every one of them came out going, oh my god,

450
00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:35,640
Speaker 1: that helped us so much. So it's good to hear

451
00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:38,280
Speaker 1: people talking about it. Brandon. We're gonna get you your

452
00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:43,000
Speaker 1: own therapists so you can stop confiding in my bell. Okay,

453
00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:44,840
Speaker 1: we're gonna take a quick break and we'll be right back.

454
00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:49,440
Speaker 1: Uh So tell us how you became a trainer, first

455
00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:52,960
Speaker 1: of all, So do you want the short version or

456
00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:55,440
Speaker 1: the long version? Always the short version. It's going to

457
00:22:55,560 --> 00:22:57,600
Speaker 1: be kind of long. I could probably tell the story

458
00:22:57,680 --> 00:23:00,280
Speaker 1: for you that you were injured. Don't tell the story,

459
00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:03,760
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, yeah. So I actually was a sociology

460
00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:08,480
Speaker 1: major in college and interned in finance with Raymond James

461
00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:13,960
Speaker 1: and hated that. And also in college, halfway through my

462
00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:18,200
Speaker 1: sophomore year, I had a back surgery that didn't go well,

463
00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:20,800
Speaker 1: and I had to take two years off a medical leave,

464
00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:23,000
Speaker 1: and I lost forty pounds of body weight, so I

465
00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:25,920
Speaker 1: was super skinny. So I used to do this core

466
00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:29,800
Speaker 1: stuff in two thousand six. I would wager a bet

467
00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:34,120
Speaker 1: that I did more planks, side planks and sit ups

468
00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:36,920
Speaker 1: than any human in the world in two thousand six,

469
00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:39,960
Speaker 1: because will you write two thousand six down in your

470
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:42,920
Speaker 1: notes section and your on your iPhone, because that's no,

471
00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:47,280
Speaker 1: that's just what I did. I ment. I just wanted

472
00:23:47,320 --> 00:23:49,560
Speaker 1: to get better from this fucking surgery. And I'm somebody

473
00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:51,280
Speaker 1: that if some is good, more is better. And I

474
00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:53,400
Speaker 1: do that in good ways and in bad ways. It's both.

475
00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:56,760
Speaker 1: I've just always somebody that takes things to the extreme,

476
00:23:57,119 --> 00:23:59,400
Speaker 1: you know. And I would do sets of like hundreds

477
00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:02,119
Speaker 1: of sit up and ship and now, like, you're not

478
00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:03,560
Speaker 1: even supposed to do sit ups if you have a

479
00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:05,240
Speaker 1: bad back. I didn't know, So I just did a

480
00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:07,560
Speaker 1: fucking shipload of everything, like I just read, you know,

481
00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:10,160
Speaker 1: That's how I've always been. But I was giving long

482
00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:12,080
Speaker 1: story short, I was giving people advice. Some of it

483
00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:15,760
Speaker 1: was shitty advice, and I just really liked that. So

484
00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:20,879
Speaker 1: I connected the guy who I worked under at Raymond

485
00:24:20,920 --> 00:24:23,879
Speaker 1: James connected me with a trainer who trained his sons

486
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:28,080
Speaker 1: for football, and that guy offered me a job. I

487
00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:30,960
Speaker 1: kind of parlayed finance into a training job. And then

488
00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:33,240
Speaker 1: it turned out that this guy was a real douche

489
00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:35,320
Speaker 1: bag and pulled the rug out from under me. I

490
00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:37,040
Speaker 1: hope he hears this too. I hate that guy. Well,

491
00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:38,680
Speaker 1: why don't give him a shout out? Yeah? I don't

492
00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:40,800
Speaker 1: want to call him out, but I would. We could

493
00:24:40,880 --> 00:24:42,760
Speaker 1: give him a shout out if you could land the

494
00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:45,119
Speaker 1: fucking plan on this story instead of going on and

495
00:24:45,119 --> 00:24:47,080
Speaker 1: on he said, I was going to be the abridged version.

496
00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:49,760
Speaker 1: It's a bridge dish. I could have gone longer. What

497
00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:53,280
Speaker 1: about boundaries? Did you want to ask him about boundaries? Brandon,

498
00:24:54,080 --> 00:24:56,480
Speaker 1: I'm not great with boundaries, do you? How do you

499
00:24:56,520 --> 00:25:01,239
Speaker 1: set boundaries for you and your clients? Because obviously you yes, uh,

500
00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:05,040
Speaker 1: you know, I don't think I'm great with boundaries. I

501
00:25:05,080 --> 00:25:08,200
Speaker 1: think that's um. I have a bit of a different

502
00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:12,040
Speaker 1: training business because I don't have a gym and staff

503
00:25:12,119 --> 00:25:14,399
Speaker 1: or anything like that, you know, and and most of

504
00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:18,119
Speaker 1: my clients have trained for as long as we've trained,

505
00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:20,600
Speaker 1: you know, and um we and we we see each

506
00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:23,240
Speaker 1: other quite often. So well, I'm your worst client, though

507
00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:26,000
Speaker 1: you would say, right, or do you have about the

508
00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:27,520
Speaker 1: worst one than? I mean, you don't have to mention

509
00:25:27,520 --> 00:25:30,320
Speaker 1: anyone else's names. No, I don't have to because you're

510
00:25:30,320 --> 00:25:33,520
Speaker 1: the worst, like by far? What constitutes me being your

511
00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:37,080
Speaker 1: worst client? Just? I mean, can I really be honest?

512
00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:42,359
Speaker 1: I mean sometimes I just wish that I had a

513
00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:45,520
Speaker 1: security camera in my gym that could with audio, that

514
00:25:45,600 --> 00:25:49,200
Speaker 1: I could just let people know a normal day workout,

515
00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:52,960
Speaker 1: because I think, like when people see our Instagram videos

516
00:25:53,359 --> 00:25:56,040
Speaker 1: and you're chewing me out, I think like this is

517
00:25:56,119 --> 00:26:00,840
Speaker 1: nothing compared to just the normal day of like like

518
00:26:01,119 --> 00:26:04,679
Speaker 1: you know, so just so people get an idea. Chelsea

519
00:26:04,760 --> 00:26:07,600
Speaker 1: will walk in and I'll say, hey, how are you doing?

520
00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:10,040
Speaker 1: And She'll go, why the fund do you always ask

521
00:26:10,080 --> 00:26:11,919
Speaker 1: me how I'm doing? I just saw you yesterday, not

522
00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:14,760
Speaker 1: like nothing's happened, Like why would you even say that?

523
00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:17,680
Speaker 1: Like why would you even ask me how I'm doing?

524
00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:21,000
Speaker 1: And I just sit there and think, like for split second,

525
00:26:21,359 --> 00:26:23,880
Speaker 1: just because of her tone, I think like, oh God,

526
00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:25,760
Speaker 1: I did something wrong, like I fucked up. And then

527
00:26:25,800 --> 00:26:27,760
Speaker 1: I think, and I didn't funk up. She's just kind

528
00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:30,439
Speaker 1: of a bit right now, like it just doesn't know.

529
00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:33,680
Speaker 1: You're right. In my defense, you you do say hey,

530
00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:36,359
Speaker 1: how you doing three or four times at the beginning

531
00:26:36,359 --> 00:26:38,760
Speaker 1: of every workout, So by the third or third or

532
00:26:38,760 --> 00:26:40,880
Speaker 1: four time, I want you to stop, not three or four,

533
00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:44,320
Speaker 1: but and then and then. For example, when we talk

534
00:26:44,359 --> 00:26:47,399
Speaker 1: about how I trained clients, most people, I will just

535
00:26:47,520 --> 00:26:50,679
Speaker 1: simply ask them for their feedback, like how are you feeling?

536
00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:54,520
Speaker 1: Does anything hurt? Like basic stuff that gives me info

537
00:26:54,640 --> 00:26:58,199
Speaker 1: to whatever. Chelsea doesn't want to answer, like does anything

538
00:26:58,560 --> 00:27:00,960
Speaker 1: like annoys her? If I ask how she's feeling, like

539
00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:03,159
Speaker 1: if or if I say to something hurt, she'll be

540
00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:05,800
Speaker 1: like she just like doesn't even say anything. She just

541
00:27:05,840 --> 00:27:09,040
Speaker 1: goes like in this way of like I'm super annoying.

542
00:27:09,840 --> 00:27:11,280
Speaker 1: So I don't have the info to even like, no

543
00:27:11,920 --> 00:27:14,320
Speaker 1: what to do, right, But you have to understand that

544
00:27:14,359 --> 00:27:16,880
Speaker 1: if something is hurting me, I'll probably come I'll lead

545
00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:19,159
Speaker 1: with that, yeah, but you you don't though, yeah, but

546
00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:22,399
Speaker 1: you'll say, like, for example, you know, my shoulder hurts,

547
00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:25,439
Speaker 1: and then I'll go, you know, I'm kind of captain obvious,

548
00:27:25,520 --> 00:27:27,720
Speaker 1: so you'll go my my shoulder hurts, and I'll go, okay,

549
00:27:27,760 --> 00:27:30,119
Speaker 1: well like lay off your shoulder and you're like no, no, no,

550
00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:32,359
Speaker 1: but I need to do like shoulder And I'm like,

551
00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:34,399
Speaker 1: well this you don't want to be hurt, Like I

552
00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:37,160
Speaker 1: don't want to tell you don't want to be you know, no, Well,

553
00:27:37,280 --> 00:27:40,919
Speaker 1: I will say, when something's really bothering me, is there

554
00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:43,320
Speaker 1: a way to work around it? Is there a way

555
00:27:43,359 --> 00:27:45,200
Speaker 1: to do something with my shoulder that's not going to

556
00:27:45,320 --> 00:27:54,760
Speaker 1: exasperate it, because I always exacerbate exasperate. Anyways, up top

557
00:27:55,560 --> 00:27:59,320
Speaker 1: there you go. What about for people? Oh and the

558
00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:03,960
Speaker 1: other reason that you're that the worst is you think

559
00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:07,040
Speaker 1: we've done over a thousand workouts. We probably have. Um,

560
00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:09,240
Speaker 1: it feels like it's probably we've done over a thousand,

561
00:28:09,320 --> 00:28:11,800
Speaker 1: and there hasn't been one. There hasn't been one of

562
00:28:11,840 --> 00:28:14,800
Speaker 1: those one thousand. We'll just say it's two thousand where

563
00:28:14,920 --> 00:28:16,840
Speaker 1: we have made a time and stuck to that time.

564
00:28:16,920 --> 00:28:19,720
Speaker 1: I've never met somebody that's not that's and that's a

565
00:28:19,880 --> 00:28:23,920
Speaker 1: that's an exaggeration, and that's the right word for that exaggeration. Well,

566
00:28:23,960 --> 00:28:27,560
Speaker 1: there's been a very few times, so like, yeah, you're

567
00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:30,199
Speaker 1: you're a lot. I do change my schedule around all

568
00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:32,359
Speaker 1: the time, and you're and you have no boundaries. I

569
00:28:32,400 --> 00:28:36,280
Speaker 1: will exactly exactly, so it's kind but I will say

570
00:28:36,320 --> 00:28:40,080
Speaker 1: as far as a client, uh, I kind of want

571
00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:41,440
Speaker 1: you to close your ears because I don't like to

572
00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:44,640
Speaker 1: be nice to your face. But you are the strongest

573
00:28:44,680 --> 00:28:47,720
Speaker 1: client I have with core stuff. Like it's funny because

574
00:28:47,720 --> 00:28:49,160
Speaker 1: you always like tell me I don't know how to

575
00:28:49,160 --> 00:28:51,840
Speaker 1: do apps and you do ship that like a lot

576
00:28:51,880 --> 00:28:53,880
Speaker 1: of people a lot of men can't even do. And

577
00:28:54,880 --> 00:28:58,040
Speaker 1: you hear that, Brandon, I'm listening. You're also the best

578
00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:02,560
Speaker 1: and I actually mean this literally the best uh at

579
00:29:02,800 --> 00:29:05,320
Speaker 1: you know, the exercise that you actually like, but it's

580
00:29:05,400 --> 00:29:08,920
Speaker 1: like the most hate ubiquitously hated exercise in the world.

581
00:29:09,120 --> 00:29:11,880
Speaker 1: The it's called were foot elevated split squads with your

582
00:29:11,880 --> 00:29:14,400
Speaker 1: back on the bench. Every listener is probably listening like

583
00:29:14,520 --> 00:29:17,360
Speaker 1: fun that exercise, but you actually like it and are

584
00:29:17,440 --> 00:29:21,600
Speaker 1: the strongest woman I've ever trained on rear foot elevated splits.

585
00:29:21,600 --> 00:29:24,000
Speaker 1: What I would like to say to all women listening

586
00:29:24,120 --> 00:29:29,840
Speaker 1: is that any exercise that looks so like brutal or hard,

587
00:29:29,880 --> 00:29:31,920
Speaker 1: or that you don't want to tackle, when you do

588
00:29:31,920 --> 00:29:34,720
Speaker 1: do it, and all you have to do is rehabituate yourself.

589
00:29:34,720 --> 00:29:36,479
Speaker 1: If you make a commitment to yourself to say, hey,

590
00:29:36,520 --> 00:29:38,480
Speaker 1: I'm going to do these workouts, you start to enjoy

591
00:29:38,520 --> 00:29:40,920
Speaker 1: your workouts. You don't hate them every single time. Sure

592
00:29:40,960 --> 00:29:43,520
Speaker 1: their days where you wake up and you're hungover or

593
00:29:43,560 --> 00:29:45,680
Speaker 1: you don't feel like working out, but if you push

594
00:29:45,760 --> 00:29:49,400
Speaker 1: through that stuff, it just becomes away. It's like breathing.

595
00:29:49,520 --> 00:29:51,800
Speaker 1: It's like, oh, I don't feel right unless I work out.

596
00:29:51,840 --> 00:29:53,400
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter what kind of shape on me in

597
00:29:53,520 --> 00:29:55,760
Speaker 1: that day. That to get in and like move your

598
00:29:55,760 --> 00:29:59,680
Speaker 1: body helps you maintain happiness throughout the day and maintain

599
00:29:59,800 --> 00:30:01,920
Speaker 1: entergy g throughout the day. So all of it is like,

600
00:30:02,320 --> 00:30:05,360
Speaker 1: you know, it's all of the things that I hate,

601
00:30:05,440 --> 00:30:07,520
Speaker 1: and I'm right there with all of you and I'm like, oh,

602
00:30:07,760 --> 00:30:09,680
Speaker 1: I can't do that, But I have to tell you

603
00:30:09,960 --> 00:30:12,920
Speaker 1: it pays off and it does work in your life

604
00:30:12,920 --> 00:30:15,520
Speaker 1: in a way. It adds something to your life in

605
00:30:15,560 --> 00:30:17,760
Speaker 1: a way that you know, I can always keep up

606
00:30:17,760 --> 00:30:20,240
Speaker 1: with guys no matter what I'm doing, whether it's skiing,

607
00:30:20,600 --> 00:30:23,640
Speaker 1: whether it's hiking or really good skier too. By the way,

608
00:30:23,720 --> 00:30:25,960
Speaker 1: thank you, Ben, that's nice. You're a good skier too.

609
00:30:27,520 --> 00:30:30,000
Speaker 1: It's well, this is nice. It's like a therapy session

610
00:30:30,040 --> 00:30:33,280
Speaker 1: for us. A lot of the women that I train now,

611
00:30:33,320 --> 00:30:36,920
Speaker 1: like you'll see our social media posts of them lifting

612
00:30:36,920 --> 00:30:39,440
Speaker 1: heavyweights and stuff. But like it didn't start there, you know.

613
00:30:39,480 --> 00:30:41,320
Speaker 1: I you know, like I kind of meet people where

614
00:30:41,360 --> 00:30:43,800
Speaker 1: they're at as far as their workout and as far

615
00:30:43,840 --> 00:30:46,360
Speaker 1: as like how gung ho they're trying to go and

616
00:30:46,400 --> 00:30:49,040
Speaker 1: just try to, you know, make small changes. Do you

617
00:30:49,080 --> 00:30:50,800
Speaker 1: tell people not to drink? Do you tell do you

618
00:30:50,800 --> 00:30:53,680
Speaker 1: tell any of your clients not that you don't do well? I? Yeah,

619
00:30:53,680 --> 00:30:56,400
Speaker 1: I do tell people to not to drink if you

620
00:30:56,440 --> 00:30:59,480
Speaker 1: need to look your absolute best for something. By the way,

621
00:30:59,520 --> 00:31:02,200
Speaker 1: if you choose to you know, not listen to me,

622
00:31:02,240 --> 00:31:05,360
Speaker 1: then that's fine. But I will tell people that have

623
00:31:05,560 --> 00:31:08,400
Speaker 1: to aesthetically look a certain way that drinking is not

624
00:31:08,480 --> 00:31:11,080
Speaker 1: going to help with that, you know, um, but for

625
00:31:11,200 --> 00:31:14,200
Speaker 1: just a lifestyle thing, you know, to me, that's like

626
00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:16,200
Speaker 1: a sad way to live. But teach. Are you drinking again?

627
00:31:16,200 --> 00:31:17,800
Speaker 1: I know you didn't drink for a few months because

628
00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:20,840
Speaker 1: you had some issue, right, No, I didn't. Well, yeah,

629
00:31:20,920 --> 00:31:23,040
Speaker 1: the answer is yes, because I got rid of this

630
00:31:23,080 --> 00:31:27,520
Speaker 1: goddamn cough, but I was, yeah, it was. I googled.

631
00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:31,200
Speaker 1: I just couldn't get I couldn't shake this cough and

632
00:31:31,200 --> 00:31:35,200
Speaker 1: and it said that that was that caffeine and alcohol

633
00:31:36,120 --> 00:31:39,840
Speaker 1: were no buenos. So I just said that and then

634
00:31:41,160 --> 00:31:44,840
Speaker 1: not coughing. So what were you going to say, Brandon? Well,

635
00:31:45,040 --> 00:31:47,320
Speaker 1: I was going to pay Ben a compliment because when

636
00:31:47,320 --> 00:31:49,400
Speaker 1: we I know, you plowed right over me. But this

637
00:31:49,480 --> 00:31:51,280
Speaker 1: was a good one I want to give. When we

638
00:31:51,320 --> 00:31:53,719
Speaker 1: went to Park City, Ben went skiing with us, and

639
00:31:53,760 --> 00:31:55,360
Speaker 1: I had never seen him one. I've never seen a

640
00:31:55,360 --> 00:31:58,000
Speaker 1: photo of your shirtless, and your body is kind of

641
00:31:58,040 --> 00:32:00,760
Speaker 1: misleading because you wear you don't wear sue for tight clothes.

642
00:32:00,800 --> 00:32:03,920
Speaker 1: I would say everybody's body's misleading. Yes, you know, I

643
00:32:03,960 --> 00:32:06,720
Speaker 1: mean a lot of times it's misleading. Well, Ben's was

644
00:32:06,800 --> 00:32:09,440
Speaker 1: for me. Kine is definitely misleading because wine looks a

645
00:32:09,480 --> 00:32:11,760
Speaker 1: lot better than I believe it is. No, and see

646
00:32:11,760 --> 00:32:14,320
Speaker 1: I believe the opposite. Okay, anyway back to what you

647
00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:16,360
Speaker 1: were saying. Okay, so when we were in Park City,

648
00:32:16,480 --> 00:32:20,960
Speaker 1: Ben went up to hot tub and I say, sounds

649
00:32:20,960 --> 00:32:22,760
Speaker 1: about right, But again, I've never seen him without a

650
00:32:22,760 --> 00:32:24,680
Speaker 1: shirt on, and there's like no photo online that I've

651
00:32:24,720 --> 00:32:27,600
Speaker 1: seen his body. Your abs, all those abs that you

652
00:32:27,640 --> 00:32:30,360
Speaker 1: did in two thousand and six have endured because you

653
00:32:30,400 --> 00:32:34,040
Speaker 1: are built like a mannequin. Like every ab is perfectly symmetrical.

654
00:32:34,840 --> 00:32:37,280
Speaker 1: You look like Gaston from Beauty and the Beast. Oh

655
00:32:37,520 --> 00:32:41,120
Speaker 1: wasn't it my uncle Terry that you? Oh yes, I

656
00:32:41,160 --> 00:32:45,120
Speaker 1: remember this. He since passed away, so he's no longer

657
00:32:45,160 --> 00:32:48,000
Speaker 1: with us. But my uncle Terry, who was over one day.

658
00:32:48,040 --> 00:32:52,080
Speaker 1: Remember we went to Blue Plate Oyster it once and

659
00:32:52,120 --> 00:32:55,400
Speaker 1: we had some drinks, and we had some and then

660
00:32:55,440 --> 00:32:56,920
Speaker 1: we all went back to my house and you got

661
00:32:56,920 --> 00:32:59,360
Speaker 1: in the pool and my uncle was sitting outside of

662
00:32:59,400 --> 00:33:02,640
Speaker 1: my living I'm going, oh my god, look at that

663
00:33:02,680 --> 00:33:05,560
Speaker 1: guy's body. Can you believe it? And I thought he

664
00:33:05,600 --> 00:33:08,040
Speaker 1: was talking about Brandon. I'm like, Brandon's in the pool.

665
00:33:08,480 --> 00:33:10,680
Speaker 1: And then apparently he was talking about you. So he

666
00:33:10,800 --> 00:33:12,880
Speaker 1: had a big he had a big herd on for you.

667
00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:14,760
Speaker 1: But do you remember he hadn't stopped thinking about it,

668
00:33:14,960 --> 00:33:16,560
Speaker 1: and then a week later he brought it up. So

669
00:33:16,600 --> 00:33:18,600
Speaker 1: I have a question for you guys. Then that's interesting.

670
00:33:18,920 --> 00:33:20,560
Speaker 1: I mean, I try to stay in good shape because

671
00:33:20,600 --> 00:33:23,120
Speaker 1: I'm a trainer, and just you know, I still like

672
00:33:23,200 --> 00:33:26,200
Speaker 1: thinking myself like an athlete, so I like train harder

673
00:33:26,200 --> 00:33:29,800
Speaker 1: than I probably need to and stuff that said, I

674
00:33:29,840 --> 00:33:33,720
Speaker 1: always think it's super douchey when people that are trainers

675
00:33:33,760 --> 00:33:38,160
Speaker 1: like share lots of photos of themselves. I think it's yeah,

676
00:33:38,200 --> 00:33:41,400
Speaker 1: but I've had people actually a matter of fact, I

677
00:33:41,440 --> 00:33:43,920
Speaker 1: put on the Instagram Q and A if people wanted

678
00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:46,080
Speaker 1: us to talk about anything on the podcast, and somebody

679
00:33:46,120 --> 00:33:48,360
Speaker 1: wrote in like, why don't you ever take pictures with

680
00:33:48,400 --> 00:33:49,800
Speaker 1: your shirt off? And it's like, because I'm not he

681
00:33:49,880 --> 00:33:52,120
Speaker 1: was not a gay guy who asked no, no, It's

682
00:33:52,160 --> 00:33:54,200
Speaker 1: like I don't know who. It's definitely more of a

683
00:33:54,240 --> 00:33:56,680
Speaker 1: gay thing that men do than straight because as soon

684
00:33:56,680 --> 00:33:58,800
Speaker 1: as the guys with his shirt off. I have trainers

685
00:33:58,800 --> 00:34:02,960
Speaker 1: that it for their all their Instagram videos literally take

686
00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:05,120
Speaker 1: their shirt off to like lift their weight and then

687
00:34:05,160 --> 00:34:06,960
Speaker 1: they put their shirt bag. No, you don't need to

688
00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:08,520
Speaker 1: do that, insane. It's like when you go to Barry's

689
00:34:08,520 --> 00:34:10,239
Speaker 1: boot camp and all the guys take their shirt off

690
00:34:10,239 --> 00:34:11,440
Speaker 1: in Unison, like as soon as they go on a

691
00:34:11,480 --> 00:34:14,879
Speaker 1: chart moment, you don't even started sweating at. I think

692
00:34:14,880 --> 00:34:16,879
Speaker 1: it's also inappropriate for men to be able to take

693
00:34:16,920 --> 00:34:19,280
Speaker 1: their shirts off while they're exercising when we're not allowed

694
00:34:19,280 --> 00:34:22,200
Speaker 1: to take our shirts off and run down. We're not

695
00:34:22,239 --> 00:34:24,279
Speaker 1: allowed to the rule in my gym is I don't

696
00:34:24,320 --> 00:34:25,600
Speaker 1: care if you wear a shirt, but you just can't

697
00:34:25,600 --> 00:34:29,480
Speaker 1: wear gloves. That's for men or women. Like a catchphrase,

698
00:34:29,480 --> 00:34:31,359
Speaker 1: which is also another question that I'd like to ask,

699
00:34:31,360 --> 00:34:34,000
Speaker 1: because you're wearing a shirt right now that says remember

700
00:34:34,040 --> 00:34:36,759
Speaker 1: when I asked for your opinion me neither? Like do

701
00:34:36,800 --> 00:34:38,640
Speaker 1: you look for these? Do people send them to you

702
00:34:38,719 --> 00:34:40,520
Speaker 1: because you like a shirt with a logo or not

703
00:34:40,560 --> 00:34:42,680
Speaker 1: a logo a catch Yes? I do. I have a

704
00:34:42,719 --> 00:34:45,759
Speaker 1: solid T shirt collection because people know what I think.

705
00:34:46,520 --> 00:34:48,680
Speaker 1: That's all I care about is what I think. Well

706
00:34:48,680 --> 00:34:53,200
Speaker 1: that's a great answa. Uh yeah, long story short, Yeah,

707
00:34:53,239 --> 00:34:55,919
Speaker 1: I get these are gifts. That was a short story

708
00:34:56,000 --> 00:34:59,840
Speaker 1: that wasn't a story that actually there was an answer. Yeah,

709
00:35:00,120 --> 00:35:03,120
Speaker 1: long story. Short is only for storytelling, not for answer.

710
00:35:03,920 --> 00:35:06,239
Speaker 1: If you because people have said to me that you

711
00:35:06,280 --> 00:35:08,600
Speaker 1: know that you do this thing where you talk over somebody,

712
00:35:08,760 --> 00:35:10,480
Speaker 1: but because you were talking ship, I'm just trying to

713
00:35:10,520 --> 00:35:13,160
Speaker 1: get you shut the funk up. But I would say,

714
00:35:13,680 --> 00:35:16,040
Speaker 1: as a trainer, people tell me that you know you

715
00:35:16,080 --> 00:35:18,680
Speaker 1: should your body is your business card is one thing

716
00:35:18,719 --> 00:35:21,680
Speaker 1: that people say and that clients are more likely to

717
00:35:21,760 --> 00:35:23,360
Speaker 1: want to train with you if they see your in

718
00:35:23,400 --> 00:35:27,040
Speaker 1: good shape. But like, if you saw a trainer that

719
00:35:27,280 --> 00:35:29,640
Speaker 1: had all these shirtless pictures, would you be more apt

720
00:35:29,640 --> 00:35:32,719
Speaker 1: to train with him or less apt? Personally less? But

721
00:35:32,880 --> 00:35:35,040
Speaker 1: Brandon answer for yourself, because you're a gay man, do

722
00:35:35,080 --> 00:35:36,839
Speaker 1: you like that? No, I would say less as well.

723
00:35:36,880 --> 00:35:39,960
Speaker 1: I would. I think that for me, it's saying like

724
00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:41,440
Speaker 1: that they have that body, but I don't need to

725
00:35:41,480 --> 00:35:43,279
Speaker 1: see it, Like if they haven't, I know what they're doing,

726
00:35:43,719 --> 00:35:45,479
Speaker 1: but like I don't need to look at it. There's

727
00:35:45,480 --> 00:35:49,000
Speaker 1: a personality type that goes along with posting naked photos

728
00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:51,960
Speaker 1: of yourself. I know because I'm one of those people.

729
00:35:52,400 --> 00:35:55,640
Speaker 1: So that is something that you know. If somebody's posing

730
00:35:55,680 --> 00:35:58,720
Speaker 1: like that, you're gonna have one of two reactions usually,

731
00:35:59,080 --> 00:36:00,480
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm sure there's a group of people that

732
00:36:00,600 --> 00:36:02,520
Speaker 1: have a third reaction, which is in the middle and

733
00:36:02,520 --> 00:36:05,080
Speaker 1: they don't carry it away. But yeah, it seems to

734
00:36:05,160 --> 00:36:08,960
Speaker 1: be I was asking more out of curiosity. What about

735
00:36:08,960 --> 00:36:11,760
Speaker 1: your mom? Your your mom's personal trainer. Does that interfere

736
00:36:11,760 --> 00:36:13,960
Speaker 1: at all with your relationship with her? Are you able

737
00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:16,040
Speaker 1: to talk about personal stuff when you're training her. My

738
00:36:16,160 --> 00:36:20,799
Speaker 1: mom is how old? I'm not gonna one maybe or

739
00:36:20,840 --> 00:36:25,080
Speaker 1: I think twenty. She's turning soon. I give her at

740
00:36:25,080 --> 00:36:28,480
Speaker 1: workout tips sometimes. But you ever heard that saying you're

741
00:36:28,520 --> 00:36:32,680
Speaker 1: never an expert in your own home. I'm sure it's

742
00:36:32,680 --> 00:36:38,400
Speaker 1: just saying, but that's how I feel about my house. Brandon. Yeah,

743
00:36:38,440 --> 00:36:41,279
Speaker 1: that has different applications, but she doesn't always listen to

744
00:36:41,320 --> 00:36:43,799
Speaker 1: me on workout. But you do train your grandmother too,

745
00:36:43,840 --> 00:36:46,759
Speaker 1: who's like ninety right, she can work out. My grandmother

746
00:36:46,840 --> 00:36:50,240
Speaker 1: can run circles around most people. She does exercise class

747
00:36:50,960 --> 00:36:53,680
Speaker 1: six days a week, you know, stuff in the pool

748
00:36:53,719 --> 00:36:59,000
Speaker 1: and everything. Um, and she's also year old. Okay, well,

749
00:36:59,000 --> 00:37:02,120
Speaker 1: this sounds like a good time to take a break.

750
00:37:02,880 --> 00:37:04,720
Speaker 1: Is there a boundary or is there a thought process

751
00:37:04,760 --> 00:37:08,319
Speaker 1: that you have when working with like l Well, I'll

752
00:37:08,360 --> 00:37:12,359
Speaker 1: say this with any client I train. I always tell

753
00:37:12,440 --> 00:37:14,880
Speaker 1: trainers that are asking how to program because one thing,

754
00:37:14,920 --> 00:37:18,000
Speaker 1: a lot of trainers that train a high level clientele

755
00:37:18,280 --> 00:37:22,040
Speaker 1: are more specialists, are having a niche or is it

756
00:37:22,200 --> 00:37:25,520
Speaker 1: niche or niche niche I thought it was niche whatever,

757
00:37:26,800 --> 00:37:29,000
Speaker 1: So a lot of trainers will have a niche so

758
00:37:29,040 --> 00:37:33,800
Speaker 1: it could be training just you know, uh, models, or

759
00:37:33,920 --> 00:37:38,080
Speaker 1: just act you know, superhero actors, or just baseball players

760
00:37:38,200 --> 00:37:43,320
Speaker 1: or just basketball players. And my client tell is probably

761
00:37:43,360 --> 00:37:46,239
Speaker 1: the most like diverse of of any trainers. You train

762
00:37:46,280 --> 00:37:51,360
Speaker 1: a lot of athletes train you know, I trained my

763
00:37:51,440 --> 00:37:54,400
Speaker 1: youngest clients like eighteen, my oldest clients in his seventies

764
00:37:54,440 --> 00:37:58,080
Speaker 1: and and uh summer athletes, some are non athletes, And

765
00:37:58,640 --> 00:38:01,120
Speaker 1: you trained just Spiel right CBL. She's got it the

766
00:38:01,120 --> 00:38:03,280
Speaker 1: best one. I mean, that's pretty much the best body

767
00:38:03,320 --> 00:38:06,160
Speaker 1: I think in my in my opinion, and have any

768
00:38:06,239 --> 00:38:08,839
Speaker 1: female I think Jessica Bale's body is what I would

769
00:38:09,560 --> 00:38:12,319
Speaker 1: they have a saying form follows function, but she does

770
00:38:12,360 --> 00:38:16,880
Speaker 1: some of the most savage workouts stronger, and she's stronger

771
00:38:16,920 --> 00:38:20,319
Speaker 1: than I am for sure. So what I was going

772
00:38:20,360 --> 00:38:23,959
Speaker 1: to say though, with personal training is the personal part

773
00:38:24,040 --> 00:38:26,120
Speaker 1: refers to the client, not the trainers. So a lot

774
00:38:26,120 --> 00:38:29,640
Speaker 1: of trainers, in my opinion, go awry because they just

775
00:38:29,680 --> 00:38:33,160
Speaker 1: try to train everyone the same. And for me, uh,

776
00:38:33,880 --> 00:38:36,560
Speaker 1: I asked the client their goals and then just do that.

777
00:38:36,920 --> 00:38:40,040
Speaker 1: I know that sounds super obvious, but when you talk

778
00:38:40,120 --> 00:38:43,480
Speaker 1: about problem areas, I've I've actually never once said to

779
00:38:43,520 --> 00:38:46,759
Speaker 1: a woman like, oh, like, I know you said you

780
00:38:46,760 --> 00:38:48,600
Speaker 1: want to work on like your glutes, but like your

781
00:38:48,680 --> 00:38:50,520
Speaker 1: arms are pretty shitty, Like I think we might need

782
00:38:50,560 --> 00:38:52,279
Speaker 1: to work on that. I've never said that. Like when

783
00:38:52,280 --> 00:38:56,240
Speaker 1: I first meet a new client, we have three questions, goals,

784
00:38:56,480 --> 00:39:00,239
Speaker 1: injury history, and past training history. The last one don't

785
00:39:00,280 --> 00:39:01,920
Speaker 1: really care that much about, but it just gives me

786
00:39:01,960 --> 00:39:03,799
Speaker 1: an idea of what they like and don't like. But

787
00:39:03,880 --> 00:39:06,000
Speaker 1: the goals in injury history are really the only things

788
00:39:06,080 --> 00:39:09,799
Speaker 1: I care about, and it comes from the horse's mouth

789
00:39:09,840 --> 00:39:11,440
Speaker 1: what they want to work on, and then we just

790
00:39:11,480 --> 00:39:14,040
Speaker 1: do that within the constraints of their injury. And I

791
00:39:14,080 --> 00:39:16,040
Speaker 1: also want to add that when there are trainers that

792
00:39:16,239 --> 00:39:19,319
Speaker 1: do the same thing for every client, that's how you

793
00:39:19,320 --> 00:39:22,400
Speaker 1: get injured. It's I've done that. I've been injured with

794
00:39:22,440 --> 00:39:24,719
Speaker 1: every trainer that I've ever worked with except for Ben,

795
00:39:25,160 --> 00:39:29,239
Speaker 1: and so uh that one prescription for everybody does not

796
00:39:29,360 --> 00:39:31,759
Speaker 1: work when people have you dancing around like a maniac,

797
00:39:32,040 --> 00:39:34,960
Speaker 1: and that that doesn't work for everybody. And with like,

798
00:39:35,040 --> 00:39:37,200
Speaker 1: for example, you're you're somebody that likes to do a

799
00:39:37,200 --> 00:39:40,359
Speaker 1: lot of arms. I trained some women. We haven't done

800
00:39:40,440 --> 00:39:42,960
Speaker 1: arms in three years. None we do all lower body

801
00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:45,919
Speaker 1: and core and what's happening with their arms. They don't

802
00:39:45,920 --> 00:39:47,840
Speaker 1: want to work on their arms. They don't want muscle

803
00:39:48,160 --> 00:39:52,319
Speaker 1: the I want muscular arms. Well, some women are uncomfortable

804
00:39:52,360 --> 00:39:54,440
Speaker 1: with the level of muscularity in their arms. They want

805
00:39:54,440 --> 00:39:57,200
Speaker 1: to back. Everybody is different, you know, and uh, guys

806
00:39:57,239 --> 00:39:59,720
Speaker 1: are different in this regard. Some guys like being really

807
00:40:00,040 --> 00:40:03,120
Speaker 1: in and their worst nightmares like being like all jacked up.

808
00:40:03,200 --> 00:40:06,600
Speaker 1: Some guys like being bigger, and you know, women are

809
00:40:06,600 --> 00:40:08,680
Speaker 1: the same way, beauties in the eye of the beholder.

810
00:40:08,719 --> 00:40:11,040
Speaker 1: There's a lot of women that like a little bit

811
00:40:11,040 --> 00:40:14,000
Speaker 1: more muscle, some that don't. It just you know, it depends.

812
00:40:14,000 --> 00:40:17,960
Speaker 1: And as a personal trainer, it's not my place to

813
00:40:18,040 --> 00:40:20,880
Speaker 1: pass judgment on anything. It's just like basically doing what

814
00:40:20,920 --> 00:40:24,960
Speaker 1: they want to do. Yeah, but his question was, how

815
00:40:24,960 --> 00:40:27,000
Speaker 1: do you are you how do you remain appropriate when

816
00:40:27,040 --> 00:40:30,520
Speaker 1: you're dealing with especially with training women. I mean, I

817
00:40:30,560 --> 00:40:32,600
Speaker 1: think that's just that has nothing to do with being

818
00:40:32,600 --> 00:40:35,520
Speaker 1: a trainer. I think that's just more not being a creep.

819
00:40:35,600 --> 00:40:37,279
Speaker 1: You know. I've always just kept it above board. I

820
00:40:37,320 --> 00:40:40,120
Speaker 1: don't know how to really explain it because we laugh,

821
00:40:40,239 --> 00:40:43,279
Speaker 1: we joke, But I think you know, there's never a

822
00:40:43,360 --> 00:40:46,839
Speaker 1: question that it's like, you know, how do you think

823
00:40:46,840 --> 00:40:49,640
Speaker 1: being a trainer in l A has affected or impacted

824
00:40:49,640 --> 00:40:53,960
Speaker 1: your dating life helped you? No, I mean it doesn't

825
00:40:54,000 --> 00:40:56,239
Speaker 1: have any bearing. I guess I think it has a

826
00:40:56,239 --> 00:40:58,759
Speaker 1: lot of bearing. I mean you make a lot of

827
00:40:58,880 --> 00:41:02,280
Speaker 1: connections just based on your social media because of your training.

828
00:41:02,320 --> 00:41:05,640
Speaker 1: So I think there is a linkage depends who you ask.

829
00:41:05,719 --> 00:41:08,719
Speaker 1: Being a trainer is either like my friends tell me,

830
00:41:08,719 --> 00:41:11,080
Speaker 1: for example, that I underplay my job a lot, because

831
00:41:11,120 --> 00:41:12,880
Speaker 1: if you were to meet somebody you talk about how

832
00:41:12,920 --> 00:41:14,480
Speaker 1: many trainers there are in l A, it seems like

833
00:41:14,480 --> 00:41:17,360
Speaker 1: there's more trainers than people in l A. And most

834
00:41:17,440 --> 00:41:21,000
Speaker 1: of the time in l A, when I think trainer,

835
00:41:21,160 --> 00:41:24,160
Speaker 1: I think somebody that wants to be an actor or

836
00:41:24,200 --> 00:41:26,879
Speaker 1: whatever and it's just training in their free time and

837
00:41:27,600 --> 00:41:30,279
Speaker 1: probably makes like ship money and you know whatever. And

838
00:41:31,080 --> 00:41:35,080
Speaker 1: my friends always tell me with girls that I need

839
00:41:35,120 --> 00:41:37,560
Speaker 1: to like talk my job up a little more because like,

840
00:41:38,200 --> 00:41:39,839
Speaker 1: you know, if you just say you're a trainer, like

841
00:41:40,080 --> 00:41:42,919
Speaker 1: this girl might think like you just have a shitty job.

842
00:41:43,719 --> 00:41:47,000
Speaker 1: But to me that like like doing that or name

843
00:41:47,120 --> 00:41:51,520
Speaker 1: dropping everybody trainer things as akin to taking your shirt

844
00:41:51,560 --> 00:41:53,919
Speaker 1: off every day on social media. It's a real douchebag move.

845
00:41:54,040 --> 00:41:56,479
Speaker 1: So it's it's interesting you say the trainer thing, because

846
00:41:56,520 --> 00:41:59,320
Speaker 1: sometimes I wonder if that's a good thing or a

847
00:41:59,360 --> 00:42:02,120
Speaker 1: bad thing. Well, then what's your stance on dating a client?

848
00:42:03,040 --> 00:42:06,200
Speaker 1: I've never done it. Would you do it? Yeah? But

849
00:42:06,280 --> 00:42:09,160
Speaker 1: I never have. But I mean I would never just

850
00:42:09,200 --> 00:42:11,560
Speaker 1: like hook up with a client. But if there's somebody

851
00:42:11,560 --> 00:42:15,040
Speaker 1: that I really liked and whatever, then I mean I

852
00:42:15,040 --> 00:42:17,240
Speaker 1: guess i'd have to like figure it out if that happened,

853
00:42:17,239 --> 00:42:21,080
Speaker 1: but I would probably either stop training or like whatever.

854
00:42:21,120 --> 00:42:23,600
Speaker 1: But um, yeah, I think. I mean one of my

855
00:42:23,640 --> 00:42:27,400
Speaker 1: friends it's a trainer, uh met his met his wife training.

856
00:42:27,440 --> 00:42:32,120
Speaker 1: I mean, you know it's going strong. Yeah, it's been

857
00:42:32,160 --> 00:42:34,279
Speaker 1: like twenty years. My point, I mean, you always meet

858
00:42:34,320 --> 00:42:36,000
Speaker 1: people that you just like spend time with, so it

859
00:42:36,000 --> 00:42:38,279
Speaker 1: could happen. It's just never it's actually never happened. But

860
00:42:38,840 --> 00:42:41,800
Speaker 1: I'm not like, yeah, it could happen, but you have

861
00:42:41,840 --> 00:42:43,640
Speaker 1: a lot of like fitness models hit you up on

862
00:42:43,680 --> 00:42:47,000
Speaker 1: Instagram or like I feel like I feel like we've

863
00:42:47,000 --> 00:42:52,759
Speaker 1: talked about this a few times. Why anybody who's hooking

864
00:42:52,840 --> 00:42:55,800
Speaker 1: up with you doesn't know you're hooking up with other people. Yeah,

865
00:42:55,840 --> 00:42:58,480
Speaker 1: I mean unless you're in some serious relationship, which you're not.

866
00:42:58,800 --> 00:43:01,120
Speaker 1: I mean, everybody needs kid and wife and kids. But

867
00:43:01,160 --> 00:43:03,360
Speaker 1: everyone needs to understand as adults that if you're just

868
00:43:03,360 --> 00:43:05,520
Speaker 1: hooking up with somebody, that's simply all that it is

869
00:43:05,840 --> 00:43:07,919
Speaker 1: until you get to the next level, and there should

870
00:43:07,960 --> 00:43:10,880
Speaker 1: be no hurt feelings about that. As long as everybody's like,

871
00:43:10,960 --> 00:43:13,600
Speaker 1: you know, not committing to anything. I mean, we're all single.

872
00:43:13,680 --> 00:43:19,480
Speaker 1: Everybody's trying to get just get a nut. Amen, Amen's sister,

873
00:43:20,760 --> 00:43:23,120
Speaker 1: love it, bro. Just just be glad you're not in

874
00:43:23,160 --> 00:43:25,400
Speaker 1: the single dating world. Brandon, Well, I have one more

875
00:43:25,480 --> 00:43:28,680
Speaker 1: question for Betton that's personal. So you're talking about once

876
00:43:28,680 --> 00:43:30,920
Speaker 1: and needs, and recently I realized that twenty nine I

877
00:43:31,000 --> 00:43:33,680
Speaker 1: need to start stretching before or after I work out,

878
00:43:33,680 --> 00:43:36,600
Speaker 1: which I never did. Yeah, let's do the stretching. What's

879
00:43:36,640 --> 00:43:39,239
Speaker 1: the deal because I get conflicting reports all the time

880
00:43:40,040 --> 00:43:43,319
Speaker 1: about what about stretching before. Yeah, there's so a lot

881
00:43:43,360 --> 00:43:46,239
Speaker 1: of trainers. Now, you know, everything goes in waves. It's

882
00:43:46,280 --> 00:43:49,239
Speaker 1: like same with food. You know, one point something is good,

883
00:43:49,239 --> 00:43:52,600
Speaker 1: at one point something's bad. Stretching has fallen out of

884
00:43:52,719 --> 00:43:56,920
Speaker 1: favor pre work out because people say it decreases your

885
00:43:56,920 --> 00:44:00,240
Speaker 1: strength and force production. So a lot of people don't

886
00:44:00,280 --> 00:44:04,719
Speaker 1: think that you should stretch pre workout. Uh. I do

887
00:44:04,840 --> 00:44:07,600
Speaker 1: believe in stretching pre work out for the most part

888
00:44:07,640 --> 00:44:11,440
Speaker 1: for people that are tight, because one the people I'm training,

889
00:44:11,480 --> 00:44:14,160
Speaker 1: if you told me, you know, we stretch at the

890
00:44:14,200 --> 00:44:16,160
Speaker 1: beginning of every workout. But if you told me my

891
00:44:16,280 --> 00:44:19,280
Speaker 1: new goal is to set the world record and squats,

892
00:44:19,920 --> 00:44:23,160
Speaker 1: we wouldn't probably stretch pre workout. We would you know,

893
00:44:23,239 --> 00:44:26,840
Speaker 1: stretch after, and we would just everything would be, you know,

894
00:44:27,320 --> 00:44:30,759
Speaker 1: singularly focused around that goal. And so if you know,

895
00:44:30,800 --> 00:44:32,680
Speaker 1: I wouldn't want to maybe take the chance of your

896
00:44:32,680 --> 00:44:35,600
Speaker 1: force production going down or whatever. But for most people's

897
00:44:35,640 --> 00:44:39,040
Speaker 1: goals that are tight, I think the more you stretch,

898
00:44:39,120 --> 00:44:44,759
Speaker 1: the better. Uh. And stretching definitely does increase your mobility

899
00:44:44,760 --> 00:44:46,480
Speaker 1: in the short term, so it allows you to get

900
00:44:46,520 --> 00:44:48,840
Speaker 1: into the positions that you need to be in for

901
00:44:48,880 --> 00:44:51,880
Speaker 1: the workout more effectively, like for example, those rear elevated

902
00:44:51,880 --> 00:44:54,320
Speaker 1: split squats, if you didn't stretch your hip flexor's first,

903
00:44:54,880 --> 00:44:56,319
Speaker 1: it might be tough for you to get into that

904
00:44:56,320 --> 00:44:59,319
Speaker 1: position with an upright Torso like this is probably more

905
00:44:59,360 --> 00:45:01,799
Speaker 1: nerdy than people want to get. But okay, I'm gonna

906
00:45:01,800 --> 00:45:04,080
Speaker 1: stop you right there, Ben Bruno. We're gonna have to

907
00:45:04,080 --> 00:45:06,759
Speaker 1: wrap this up because I have to go Tanning. I

908
00:45:06,760 --> 00:45:09,040
Speaker 1: would like to thank Brandon for being here today, and

909
00:45:09,080 --> 00:45:11,840
Speaker 1: I would like to thank Ben Bruno for being here today.

910
00:45:11,880 --> 00:45:15,279
Speaker 1: I will be on the road this weekend doing stand up. St.
