Embracing the Glute Craze and Dance Fitness Revolution in 2024
Ever wondered why your gym buddies are suddenly squatting more than they're bench pressing? Join Coach Austin and Kevin "iRab" Irabagon in a lively discussion from our revamped studio about the fresh fitness waves making their way into 2024. We're delving into the rise of men targeting those glutes and shifting the spotlight from the traditional upper body obsession to embracing comprehensive strength. Alongside, we've got anecdotes from the gym floor that'll have you in stitches – think impromptu dance-offs and prosthetic hand shenanigans. Plus, get the lowdown on why your glutes might not be responding to your workouts, and meet the 'peach daddies' who are redefining what it means to be fit as a fiddle.
But that's not all we've got poppin'! Gen Z is bringing the heat with dance workouts that would even have Richard Simmons doing a double take. We're talking about the fusion of classic cardio and modern moves that's setting the fitness world alight. With every step and beat, we're also breaking down the psychological side of staying active – it's not all about the gains, but the journey and joy that comes with it. Whether you're a barbell lifter or an Olympic lifter, there's room for you in this diverse fitness landscape. So tune in, strut your stuff, and let's celebrate personal victories without getting tripped up in the comparison game.

Speaker 2:I love this stuff, you know.
Speaker 1:And we'll react to it. The last one was kind of vanilla it was very vanilla.
Speaker 2:It's a little more spice in our life.
Speaker 1:It's gonna be a little bit more spicy right now. Well, maybe we'll see. I mean, one of the stories is called spontaneous dance party.
Speaker 2:Ooh.

Speaker 2:It's the full Monty.
Speaker 1:The full Monty. Okay, what accent is that?

Speaker 1:Okay, no worries, we're also gonna go through an article that we just recently published website called this Is why your Glutes Are Not Growing oh yeah.
Speaker 2:That's okay.
Speaker 1:It's all into the brutal butt stuff you know what it's funny.
Speaker 2:You say that. The glutes, because I recently heard something on the radio about something we're talking about the 2024 trends, right, and one of the trends they talked about was actually the glutes. Really, for men Like, wait, what Like there are more men out there doing more glute exercises.
Speaker 1:I'm just about to post the video about hip thrusting.
Speaker 2:Really Okay. Yeah, so I was just like I didn't know that was a trend, because I just thought, because they always say, like guys work out like the pecs, the biceps, the triceps, the back, I mean it's the tail, as all this time Guys work out mirror muscles. And they don't do legs and stuff like that. We don't do legs, but I like doing legs.
Speaker 1:I mean, I think it's. I mean as much as we like to give guys shit, like I think a good amount of dudes do legs. Like they'll do a squat day and then a deadlift day. The crazy dudes which I was, I was doing this for a while when I was younger is like squatting. Deadlift from the same day, oh shit. And it's like you're going heavy too.
Speaker 2:Damn son, you're going heavy.
Speaker 1:Those are the best days.
Speaker 2:No, but they're saying like glute, concentrated exercises, because it helps.
Speaker 1:It drives the pelvis and the pelvis is in. You know, pelvic rotation. You can do it in a lot of sports. You can do it, you do it. And it's involved in a lot of sports Muay Thai, golf, baseball.
Speaker 2:That's very interesting.
Speaker 1:Football, you know it's very dynamic. Also, it helps with low back pain. Oh, okay, and I think it just, it just it's been so dominated by women, because I mean, go women, women, they love working on the booty.
Speaker 2:Women are in. Baby Women are in.
Speaker 1:We understand why they like working on the booty, yeah, but there's been dudes who've been, who've been putting that peach to work, yeah, called peach daddies. I mean there's muscle mommies, but there's also peach daddies. Shout out to rascal apparel. I like that, but but they they're, they're killing it and you know it's, it's 2023. It's not as frowned upon, because people may feel away or 2024. I'm sorry, shit New year, but you know people, may you know before back in the 80s Back in the back in those days.
Speaker 1:Why am I talking like this? Why?
Speaker 2:are you working your legs, son?
Speaker 1:I just I just I love this coach, coach B roll. I love you coach. But he's one of the most old school realist dudes I've ever met. He's a Hall of Fame strength coach. Yeah, I worked for him, interned under him for the Raiders. I'm always going to work that in.
Speaker 2:So every time I talk you have to.
Speaker 1:It's just the best thing I work. But he's like that type of dude was very old school, thinking like why do you do? But he's very. I don't think he would have anything to say about the hip thrust, but yeah, other things like he had a comment about, like shoulder pads and helmet pads.
Speaker 2:You say like I will not repeat, but like hip thrust is on, like blue bridges and stuff. Yeah, it's funny you say that because we did blue bridges today, this morning.
Speaker 1:Yeah with.
Speaker 2:And yeah, and I was just like a dude had to come up with this right. What do you mean? Like the movement of blue bridges?
Speaker 1:I mean, it's just very unique and I was just like it's very innate.
Speaker 2:I'm pretty sure a guy came up with this. It's a natural movement, you know. So I was like I mean we were.
Speaker 1:We were given the glutes to think about. We were given to glue. We were given glutes to stay alive in the universe.
Speaker 2:Oh, you know what that's true to multiply.
Speaker 1:OK, I mean, it's not the routes than what it's the all natural if not the glutes, then what? I don't know because even if the guy doesn't have the glutes, the girls get home. I mean, the girls got to do it.
Speaker 2:True.
Speaker 1:All right, I'm just saying, I've said, I'm just saying it does help in that matter. Thank you, glute work well. 10 X your bad performance.
Speaker 2:I don't know. That's.
Speaker 1:A study has been done on that, so don't take it there's no studies that have been done on it, but you heard it first here in the nerd hour.
Speaker 2:Through experience. Well, I mean, this guy is a kid now. Look at the data. Look at the data. He has a child. We're good Facts 100, 100 percent, 100 100, 100.
Speaker 1:Oh dude, ok, going into it. Let's get into it, bro. There's a lot of 2024 fitness trends that we've been looking up and one thing that I am going to pull up.
Speaker 2:I'm going to take a guess here. Ok, a 2024 trend is oh Zempik.
Speaker 1:No, well, that was like 2021.
Speaker 2:But like now, it's like even more.
Speaker 1:We're always talking about Zempik. I know, sponsor us already. I mean I mean weight loss, I mean now that it's a thing Again. You take it, you're not going to shit for five days.

Speaker 2:As long as you get past day two and three.
Speaker 1:What did it say Day two and three Like?
Speaker 2:you're just blowing it out and then you stop shitting.
Speaker 1:But, that's what it is, but like is it predictable? I heard it's not predictable. Like you could be, we'll see At work.
Speaker 2:And oh shit. Well, we'll see once they send us a dose During the podcast. Hey, we're testing out, just for you guys.
Speaker 1:One of the, and this and this article is from Polar dot com. Ok, wellness fitness trends 2024. Polar is they're a heart rate monitor company. Ok, they've been in the game for heart rate even before. Like all the heart rate fitness checker stuff was hot.
Speaker 2:They were there before. They're the guys in the 80s, they're they, they're the the 80. Yeah, yeah, they've been here.
Speaker 1:Don't tell me about the laws Boy.
Speaker 2:I was there. I was there first.
Speaker 1:So they're there. They're old G, but so this is the latest article written by I don't want to butcher his name or her name Bronwyn Griffiths, ok, but it's from AI to Gen Z. Oh, ai to Gen Z wellness and fitness transfer 2024. So with that we're going over there's. There's several topics that they they brought up, but what's interesting is that there's something called Gen. Z dance workouts.
Speaker 2:OK.
Speaker 1:Hashtag Dance Fitness has clocked up nearly a billion views on TikTok during 2023. Gen Z likes to dance. If you've seen or taken part in one of many dance challenge on that app, you'll understand why Gen Z can't get enough of sweating it out to music.
Speaker 1:It's similar to how aerobic dance workouts and Zumba were fitness phenomenons for previous generations, except now you can capture and share it online, growing a sense or digital community. According to the recent research from Instagram wait what Instagram does research Staying healthy, working out regularly, eating healthy is one of the top priorities for Gen Z. I like that. Group training is also popular with this demographic, proving that in-person fitness experiences are also a priority for those who grew up on the internet. With gyms beginning to offer more dance classes, it's a natural fit for those wanting inspirational tunes, guided workouts and the chance to make an exercise buddy or two.
Speaker 2:Damn. So you're saying the pioneer of this trend of dance workouts was Richard Simmons. Ha ha, ha ha. This is making a comeback.
Speaker 1:Richard Simmons was like, I'm not sure.
Speaker 2:If you guys don't know who Richard.
Speaker 1:Simmons is. Look at Richard Simmons.
Speaker 2:Sweating to the oldies. Sweating to the oldies I'm a pony, I'm a pony, I'm a pony, but they were dancing. I grew up watching the guy. Yeah, they were dancing, they were sweating.
Speaker 1:And he was when he would pour his heart out to those who couldn't move, and that was his goal. And people would make fun of him all the time, like ah, he's a little fruity, and this and the other.
Speaker 2:But I mean he changed a lot of people's lives, Made a lot of money too, made a lot of money too, Made a lot of money.
Speaker 1:That's not I mean.
Speaker 2:He was the original, so these guys are idiots Because they're doing it on TikTok. They're giving it away for free and shit.
Speaker 1:This guy made an empire of them bro. So you all dance, tiktokers Buck up Richard Simmons as much and as funny and as entertaining his content. It helped a lot of people out and he was the actually original fitluencer, I feel like you know what?
Speaker 2:that's very true, he's the original one, especially not, I feel like, not just like when it came to the dancing and the sweating, but like outside life.
Speaker 1:Outside life. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean you could argue maybe Jacqueline was one of the biggest ones too. You mean the?
Speaker 2:juicer, the juicer.
Speaker 1:He was a juicer. Different meaning back then by the way. But Arnold Schwarzenegger obviously could be in that conversation. But for as far as the reach and especially fitness focus was, no, yeah, Richard Simmons was like a household man. Especially for like dance for dance you thought dance workouts or robics.
Speaker 2:He was the first you thought about, but it's cool.
Speaker 1:I mean I wouldn't for my own gym. I don't rule out doing like dance classes.
Speaker 2:Well, we're going to announce it now. Hsc Dance, class 2 AM. What Hosted by me? What Come to the gym at 2 AM and we're going to be dancing.
Speaker 1:What You're class. Nothing happens. Nothing good happens after 2 AM, bro, can we not?
Speaker 2:Club HSC.
Speaker 1:Wow, that's where it is and I'm shut down. I'm saying we're done and we're closed. This is a casino.
Speaker 2:Don't go downstairs.
Speaker 1:Don't go downstairs, please. No, this is I mean it's good I was talking about in the last podcast, or I don't know if I did. I think I did. Yeah, because people want especially Gen Z or the younger generation. They grew up on the internet. That's weird.
Speaker 2:Like we were the middle ground.
Speaker 1:We were the middle ground, right Like we know what VHS is, we know what Netscape is Netscape.
Speaker 2:we know how to rent a movie. You know what I mean. Be kind rewind, be kind rewind. And we also know what freaking MySpace is and what Facebook is Friendster, friendster. Zanga, zanga.
Speaker 1:But it's like, yeah, they grew up. I don't understand. I wouldn't know their perspective because they grew up seriously with the internet and now having my own kid seeing him, I'm on my phone nonchalantly and he's looking at it and I'm like, oh shit, no, no, no, yeah, don't live in my phone. It's part of his life. So, it's like damn. That's so true. So what I'm trying to say is that in-person fitness experiences are here to stay. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2:And my question is, these dance workouts are they like? What kind of dance are we talking about? Like cha cha stuff or line dancing type stuff?
Speaker 1:I think it's like basically copying the choreo.
Speaker 2:Oh, like K-pop stuff.
Speaker 1:Oh, K-pop for sure, I'm sure right.
Speaker 2:I'm only saying because I've seen a lot of reels or shorts on modern dance classes and they're doing the dougie or the soldier boy. What, yeah, they're making fun of? Like you know, when you take these dance classes, they would be like classical dance. Classical dance, yeah, and it would be, you know it's like oh, we're doing the dougie today or we're doing the soldier boy, stuff like that, and it's just like, bro, that's how you know we're getting old.
Speaker 1:It was just yesterday.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I mean 2013? 2007? 2007? Like soldier boy.
Speaker 1:And I was like you, bro. That was 2013,. Bro.
Speaker 2:That's not 2013. I don't think that's so. That's you, that's damn.
Speaker 1:No.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it's old. It doesn't matter what it was. It's not now, it's old, so Fuck. Imagine that, Like they're like TikTok class, we're doing hip hop from the 2010s and you're just like, why is that guy snapping his?
Speaker 1:fingers.
Speaker 2:He's doing his step and he can do it all by himself. What the hell is he doing? What is he doing?
Speaker 1:Oh, that's a trip, but hey, dance classes are here to stay. Chancey likes to. I mean, they love Barry's Bootcamp, they love. I mean, I do my research.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:I talk to people and I see the data when we're talking like looking at marketing demographics and all that stuff, and that age group likes they, like the Barry's Bootcamp, feel they like the Peloton, they like the showmanship. They want to, they want to be part of an experience. Yeah for sure.
Speaker 2:And I think that's one way to keep fitness like fresh. Oh yeah, this is experience, because anyone can. You could anyone. You could give anyone a workout plan and they could go cardio for 10 minutes, they could go lift for 30 minutes.
Speaker 2:They could stretch for 10 minutes and but it's just like robotic, yeah, I mean, and you'll get results. Don't get me wrong, but is that the way you want to do it? And I'm sure there are people who love it and it works for them, but there's some people who just want a little bit more interaction. Oh, yeah, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1:I mean, I'm not opposed to bringing back like straight up kickboxing classes like I used to back in the day.
Speaker 2:Yeah, why not? Those are so fun.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I want to get into teaching spinning Like just have a spin class, is that like with the bikes and stuff?
Speaker 2:Yeah, why is it called spin class by the?
Speaker 1:way, I've never spinning. It's spinning, I thought wheel spinning.
Speaker 2:Oh OK, I was like. I was like I don't know if I could spin for indoor cycling. Like I'm just like this whole time spinning. I don't know if I could do that for 10 minutes.
Speaker 1:The whole spinning indoor cycling I get that. I mean it's like that, one's like it's been in the game.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I mean a lot of people have been make it.
Speaker 1:So it's I've I've had the most fun like doing spin classes because it's just you can kind of go at your own pace and make it fun. And I don't know if I told you about this time. I went to this spin class back in SoCal. It was like a gym, it was like a fitness influencer event and I went with one of my business partners. He he invited me there and he had a friend who was doing it and and what was it?
Speaker 1:We went in and you have like a minimum following, like you're supposed to have like a minimum 10,000 followers to even attend this event. I didn't even think these events existed but they did. This was like very this is like pre pandemic. And then it was just funny because when I took the class, and at the time only a few hundred followers and I was just there because I had a connection and I just wanted to see how it was and the guy who was doing it, he was great. Like the coach was great, it was fun, but he was trying to get like the room energized because this is like it was filled with your typical fitness influencer girl wearing the all wear the get up and all that.
Speaker 1:They're they're recording the pedals, boomerang the pedal. I saw like before, like I'm setting up to like to, to work out, yeah, and these girls are like doing selfies and like, do I get it? They're they're doing their brand thing. Right, that, no thing. Yes, they're doing the like. Look at my water bottle Then and it's like, and they're they do, boomerang the pedals or take a picture of the scene.
Speaker 1:That's cool. But during the class they weren't loud, they weren't getting into it. So that was pretty cool because I was like you're a fucking girl, the fuck is this guy. This guy's great. I can feel the bird. I can feel the bird. Who is this guy? But yeah, it was that that's. I think that's what people want, Because they also I mean especially this generation. I think they want to share that experience, like look what I'm doing, Look where you at.
Speaker 2:Like my very book and also, like you know, like with all the peloton and or the classes and stuff, like you go against each other. No, like there's everyone's like racing.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, sort of right. So everyone's like. So it's like people suffer crippling depression after oh my God, I'm last, I'm last.
Speaker 2:Oh my God. You know, they do five classes a week.
Speaker 1:And I'm last place. It's like, well, the guy who eats you actually.
Speaker 2:He does a marathon.
Speaker 1:And he does. He is Iron man.
Speaker 2:And he does the work, he does the work.
Speaker 1:But at the same time, if he gets people moving, I'm for it.
Speaker 2:Yeah, why not? I mean, you got to find your niche. You know what I mean. Some people you know, some people don't like lifting weights, but they like doing Olympic lifting. Yeah, just because, maybe because there's more dynamic movement.
Speaker 1:It's sexier, it's hot, it's sexier, it's sexier. All right, what are you going to watch? A bench press or a overhead Olympic snatch?
Speaker 2:OK, overhead Olympic snatch versus someone bench pressing 500 pounds. What's better? Let us know in the comments.
Speaker 1:It's Olympic snatch.
Speaker 2:I think it's 500 pounds on the bench no Full range for 100 no spot racket, all right.
Speaker 1:The next. The next trend is undoing our ultra process diets. Oh, mg, you weren't on. This is. Oh, I would love to hear your thoughts. Mr Chef, chef, okay, if you guys didn't know, kevin is a two-time Michelin star and no, no, no, that is not true.
Speaker 2:No, no, don't put that on the airways.
Speaker 1:No, no, I'm just Michelin spelled with a K I.
Speaker 2:Got two Michelin tires on my car.
Speaker 1:That's the closest I'll ever get to Michelin you weren't alone if gut microbiome was a phrase you heard thrown about for the first time in 2023. Oh my god, you're already cringing yeah. While the phrase you are what you eat has been around for decades, we are only now coming to understand the impact of how certain type of foods affect not only our weight and energy levels, but our entire holistic health. One of the new words you'll hear a lot about in 2024 is Ultra-processed foods. As we learn more about gut health and how to make it thrive, one of the most exciting developments in this area is the ongoing research on Ultra-processed foods from predict, the largest in-depth nutritional study in the world. They're finding so far have included that a diet rich in unprocessed plant-based foods encourages the presence of gut microbiomes that are linked to a lower risk of illness such as heart disease.
Speaker 2:Oh, Thoughts, I mean hats, kevin thoughts, and I mean like I just feel like everything we eat nowadays in excess is gonna kill you. You know what I mean salary eat too much celery.
Speaker 2:You know you're gonna say we're not getting enough protein, so you're gonna die. You know what I mean. Like there's there's, so carnivore diet no, too much meat, you're not gonna shit. You know what I mean. So all beans diet no, what I was like is like I I'm all for like the Like undoing the whole process, diets and stuff and going more natural. Like you know all Grass-fed stuff like that. But I understand too that shit's expensive. You know I mean to me I don't think there's anything wrong with getting choice beef, you know oh choice beef.
Speaker 2:There's no marbling. Well, you know what dude like it's cheaper man. You're still gonna get proteins and it's probably better for your macros. It doesn't have that much marbling on. Yes, to be honest.
Speaker 2:Yes you know so and you know this is something I've struggled with, obviously, but we're working on it. But we're trying, like Finding ways to make food taste good and be healthy. Right, and everyone's like I don't eat pork and stuff like that. So fatty Pork loin's very good for you. There, it doesn't, it's, it's almost. I don't say it doesn't have crazy macros, like like chicken breast Does, but it's. It's like comparable. I would say you trim off the fat, it might be even better, you know, I mean because there's some fat on pork loin, but at least there's a change of flavor. You know I'm saying stuff like that and I Don't know the science behind all these like Like factor and like and and all these like these meal kits and stuff. But you know it's not cheap to do and if they're telling you it's cheap, then they're using processed, more processed. I mean it's the only way right.
Speaker 2:It's the only way to make it Cost-effective for the company. And are they the healthiest? I mean sure, sure, but of course you don't know what's going into it. Like what, like, like that spices, I'm saying.
Speaker 1:I'm talking about like salt salt.
Speaker 2:Well, you need to preserve it. You know you need salt and emulsifiers and stuff to keep stuff more stable so they don't go bad, and you know that's fine for certain things, but having that in excess, yeah, that's pretty bad for you.
Speaker 1:For those of you guys who don't know, kevin's actually a legit like chef. He went to school. Yeah, I'm just messing with him with the stars. But, he knows his stuff.
Speaker 2:That's why I try not some dude who's just spin out like he. I don't, I'm not just do that eats. Okay, he's a great chef. I I try, I try my best. You know what like food and I hate when people say food. You gotta like foods like your enemy and stuff. No, food is fuel. You, just you'll nourishment nourishment you just we got to have a proper game plan. What is?
Speaker 1:what is the most annoying thing as a chef? When you've been, people order food Like. What is the like related to this ultra process?
Speaker 2:Well, whether it like what's that?
Speaker 1:one thing they always ask, like I don't want it cook this way or this, that and the others. Yeah, like are you're, are you're chicken like water-fed, like what is? What is? What is?
Speaker 2:that. Oh my god, you know what it is. It's the, and I understand people. This is probably gonna be a hot take, okay hot, take hot.
Speaker 2:Hot take. When it comes to steak, mm-hmm, I will only cook it to medium. Oh, for this I will take it, and then you're gonna. And then you're gonna say like, oh, I like it, well done, that's fine, that's how you like it, you. But I mean, at that point there's no nutrients anymore. You really cook the shit out of it. All the stuff's gone. Why don't like seeing blood? Here's the thing that piece of steak you're eating is not connected to the body of the cow anymore, so there is no blood in it. It's not blood that comes out of it, it just looks red because of the how it reacts to the air or some shit like that.
Speaker 1:I forgot what the word is it, but I'll look at him.
Speaker 2:Blood no, but it's just it because you know, when you get the meat and stuff and there's like, oh, it's blessed, it's not really blood.
Speaker 1:I see what you're saying. It's not in the blood, or it's drained blood.
Speaker 2:It's not like connected to the heart anymore.
Speaker 1:So there's no blood pumping.
Speaker 2:So it's not blood, it's just, it's just red juice, the red juice. But my biggest thing is eat your steak medium the most. You know what I mean, because you're losing a lot of flavor. A lot of flavor. That's the biggest thing you want. Okay, of course, there's things you like burgers for me, medium, still okay. But at the same time, if you're grinding your own meat, that's fine. But if you're buying like fully mass, like Beef from like the grocery store, I probably cook it to like well done, just because it's traveling, is processing and which one which like ground beef like also you it well done ground.
Speaker 2:For the store from the store, like if I'm making a burger unless I buy my meat and I grind it myself, then I'll cook it medium, but it's just cuz from the store like pack prepackages.
Speaker 1:Does it still have nutrients then?
Speaker 2:It's a. I mean, I mean at this point, like if you're like a lot of protein, right. You'll have protein, but like I'm just talking about, like all, the other bees. Yes, like A's and B's. Bees of basil but, um, I don't know man I like. And when it comes to burgers, I'm just starting out because I made burgers last week. My family Mmm 80, 20 I think is like a perfect blend of 80 fat.
Speaker 1:You want the marble no no 80 lead 20 20.
Speaker 2:No, melting your bro, your burgers gonna start this big and then by the time you cook it to be like, but dude imagine how good that would taste well, yeah, your grills gonna taste good.
Speaker 1:Well, doesn't you got to cook it in the butter?
Speaker 2:Yeah, so yeah, you have a soggy burger, but you know that's what I'm saying. Like, um, like 80, 20, I think, is a perfect blend. You probably go 70 32, but that's if you're adding your own type of fat in 80, 20 for a perfect.
Speaker 2:I think for me that's. That's like a nice blend of fat. But I've had a 70 30 but we added like a special type of fat, I can't remember. It's like kind of like a dry age fat to it, so to add more of this like flavor to it. It was. It was strong flavor, but it's pretty good though.
Speaker 1:You're making me want a burger bro.
Speaker 2:Yeah, dude so make me want a burger. I'm not a registered dietitian or anything. This is just my personal beliefs and stuff.
Speaker 1:Well, you're a chef who knows how to cook food.
Speaker 2:I cook food, understand so you deal with it.
Speaker 1:You know, I mean like your hands on with it, right?
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1:Um, you know who likes their meat. Well done, no, it's black, no man. Well done, to be fair, I'm talking about my dad, fair.
Speaker 2:Before we started, we talked about how his dad saw the clip so my dad saw the last episode.
Speaker 1:We were talking about him, about how he thinks Tiger Woods a loser. You guys, I want to go watch that a previous episode but I have any clips. But the my mom was laughing. I literally just talking to him and he or talking to them and he goes. Why are they talking about me? Like dad, you're, like, you're like part of our show, like when I imitate you, like it's entertaining.
Speaker 2:Okay, the red liquid is water mix, a protein called myoglobin, myoglobin myoglobin, not blood, so it's not blood, yeah, my myoglobin. That's what it is. So it's, it's not it's a protein.
Speaker 1:Yeah, the proteins.
Speaker 2:It doesn't take the water, myoglobin cells inside the meat are released and voila a red blood like liquid. Mmm, so I could drink it sure for extra protein hydrated, hmm, but yeah, you know, see, I yeah, but yeah, my dad, oh no, it's like, it's like you call I, I would be like I Don't see it connected to the cow.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I'm saying in the 90s, wasn't there like a light scare, there's mad cow disease.
Speaker 2:That's where.
Speaker 1:I remember my dad was like always get well done, always get well done, always get well done.
Speaker 2:You know, that's why Phil Jackson got a heart attack right. Wait what does he always eat his steaks Like well done. I do you know what that might be? A that might be cap.
Speaker 1:Let me say that for years and now that you're saying it on a channel, people are listening to this Instead of just my friends.
Speaker 2:Oh, I mean this dude, I mean he also smoked a bunch of cigars to. I mean I could get a clogged artery. Definitely yeah, like cigars, alcohol and meat, which is usually the middle-aged man's like heaven you know, I wouldn't be surprised if he ate Like steaks all the time, like like rib eyes, you know, and had all the fat and stuff and that's what probably clogged his artery. But that's just hella good though rib.
Speaker 2:Yeah, what's your favorite cut of steak? By the way, make this a food segment really quick rib eye, rib eye, I fucking love rib eye. I don't have any problems with um filet mignon oh.
Speaker 1:I'm in the beginning I used to love like cuz. It was just like so hyped. Yeah, I mean, even when I ate it, I was like I sold. Why is it chewy Like? Oh, it's so lean like I don't know is it. Is it supposed to be bland? I just don't like.
Speaker 2:Well, cuz in the cooking world we have the same. It's called fat is flavor, brah and rib eye has the best like I'm in my opinion ratio of Fat and meat to really give it a good flavor. A New York strips very nice too. So and T bone steak, just let everyone know, t bone steak. It was like. I want a T bone. I don't want no filet mignon. Like well, you're taking a filet mignon too, cuz it's like one side is a. New York strip. The other side is the flame in your own.
Speaker 1:Technically it's just really thin, you know so yeah, and I like the rib eye.
Speaker 2:Rib eye number one rib eyes though.
Speaker 1:We. I did have a really good skirt stay was a flank steak.
Speaker 2:Oh, skirt steaks good too, but that's what you like. You make some like like, you put some Like like Mexican spices and stuff like carne asada. That's some good stuff.
Speaker 1:Yeah, no, my, my dad don't like, he wants well done. He, but you know how cooking for him for Christmas. He actually cooked a really good prime rib Like medium rare really was really I was like, wow, he actually went all out and then he was sorry he's took, gave us these fast sighs. He was so proud of it. I was like man, I was like very impressed.
Speaker 1:Uh-huh that actually cooked medium rare. I'm there, I grew up with this guy. Like this guy would broil the fucking meat till it was fucking brown, his shit, and I had to eat there, like with rice, and I had to chew it chew it. Yeah, yeah. So like growing up like dating my wife she, she introduced me to like medium rare and I'm like what?
Speaker 2:What is this? And?
Speaker 1:I was like, oh my god, it's fucking great. And then changed my life. And then so my dad like doesn't. Like now he sees me eating medium rare, he's like, oh no it's not black, it's black.
Speaker 2:What is um? What is his? Uh, did he have a method of cooking the prime rib he? He learned it on YouTube, I think.
Speaker 1:But he did it really well, like he had a grill out and and and after he finished it, like these cuts were like, like juicy, juicy crispy at the other's good, so it was perfect. And then he gave my wife I gave Giselle like a slice and it was like it was like bloody right. And then just like, oh yeah, this is great. And then my dad's like, do you want me to cook it more?
Speaker 2:The cooking more and I was like no, perfect, that's what's good. You cook it medium rare. You give it to somebody and says would you like it cooked more? Yeah, that's, though that's number one, the best way to go about things. Yeah, I always tell people I'm gonna cook this medium rare. If you want to cook a little more, you let me know, I'll cook it more.
Speaker 1:Yeah, but you know, just look, give me, give me a second to cook them all medium rare first, you know yeah, and then, like you know, the blood, the blood was going around her plate and you know Joe Zell's getting like the condiment yeah.
Speaker 1:Yeah, she was getting a letter of sides. She had, like my dad, cooked mushrooms, so he's gonna put she and my dad was watching her do it right. And she scooped the mushroom and he goes oh, don't, don't. And then she put it on oh no, I Like dad, it's okay, you still, you sure like dad really good, my little bit. Yeah, it was hella good. But then I saw he cut his slice and he started like he put it in a walk.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, that's a good way, that's a being good host.
Speaker 1:I would say oh, he was great.
Speaker 2:You make medium rare and then when you give it something like, would you like this cooked a little more, so you only have like a medium, then we could put it on the flat top or whatever.
Speaker 1:You know, no, he did, he did really great coming from like a well done, right dude.
Speaker 2:That's, that's mad respect, right there. Yeah, so real quick. If you're trying to a prime rib at home, a sure fire away for a medium rare, count the bones on your prime rib, every bone. You're gonna go in the oven for 500, 500 degrees for 15 minutes per bone. Okay, let's say you have two bones in there, so that's 30 minutes at 500. And what's the five? Once the 15 minutes or 30 minutes is up, turn off your oven, leave it in there for two hours, pull it out. It's gonna be medium rare, 100% every time.
Speaker 1:Wow, I don't my.
Speaker 2:My oven doesn't go up to 500, it does does it, it should, it should oh shit, it should have it. Is it like one of those like you press the numbers?
Speaker 1:I mean to set the temperature. Yeah, you could go five, really.
Speaker 2:I'm sure it can do. I do royal or bake just do a bake.
Speaker 1:I'll try I.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it's, it's fine, you'll be fine.
Speaker 1:Okay, what if I don't have bones? That's tough.
Speaker 2:Well then, I guess every I think it's the. The math is Every five pounds is five minutes, I think at 500. I used to do that method where I calculated the weight.
Speaker 1:Oh, wow.
Speaker 2:Yeah, something. But then when I found this one with counting the bones on your prime rib, I was like this is a weight. Oh prime rib. What do you think I was saying?
Speaker 1:I was thinking rib eye Sorry.
Speaker 2:Oh, prime rib.
Speaker 1:Prime rib Sorry.
Speaker 2:Did I say rib eye no prime rib.
Speaker 1:No, I was thinking prime rib eye. Yeah, yeah, but yeah.
Speaker 2:Count the bones 50 minutes per bone 500, then leave it in the oven for two hours.
Speaker 1:And you get a nice, nice medium rare. Oh yeah, dude, oh, I want prime rib, okay, Well then, yeah, moving over to our next segment we're going to be talking about. This is why your glutes are not growing. I will, I will link this article in the show notes. Yes, this has sources and a video of me actually hip thrusting. Oh, I know, right, this is, that's crazy.
Speaker 2:Pay five dollars, all right.
Speaker 1:I'm just going to go over this brief synopsis of why your glutes may not be growing. Are you training your glutes hard every week, doing all the exercises people recommend?
Speaker 2:Is that TN? By the way, hit what You're in the in the article. The picture is that TN.
Speaker 1:This is an AI generated version of Piccolo with the glutes.
Speaker 2:Oh, it looks like Piccolo and TN together. I mean. I was just laughing because, like, why would anyone put like TN, that dude sucks.
Speaker 1:TN is actually pretty ripped man.
Speaker 2:He's ripped but he's aesthetically.
Speaker 1:People want to look like TN with the third eye. Um, that's all. Lunges, hip thrusts, deep squats, etc. Hip thrusts, deep squats, lunges actually great glue work. Do you eat well and get enough protein daily? Is your training program structured intelligently to allow for proper recovery between sessions? Yes, despite all that effort, your glutes don't seem to grow. If that's the case, read on because we'll dive into why that might be the case and what you can do If you guys want to read that article. It is on the show notes but, basically the top three things.
Speaker 1:Too long didn't read. The training side of things is number one and that goes over mostly better movements. Talking about the quality of movement for your glutes, which actually which movements actually target the glute, more people will think automatically squats, which sure it does hit the glutes a little bit, especially at that deep part. But you can get a lot more activation by the Bulgarian split squat hip thrusts. Barbell hip thrusts is like the big one.
Speaker 2:You know, when it comes to squats, I feel like I get a lot of my quads. Yeah, it's like more.
Speaker 1:I get more quads. Yeah, if you're doing up to 90 degrees.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, I feel a lot of quads.
Speaker 1:There's more quads. Then if you go below that, that's basically.
Speaker 2:I'm definitely getting more below 90 now, so it's good Wild.
Speaker 1:That's good. Yeah, that's good. More range of motion is great. Full range, full run, full run, all the way.
Speaker 1:Now run, I like it was a doctor, mike Israel. He's like big on that. Um, you know doing extra reps, slowing down the tempo. You know doing things to manipulate the movement, to make it more challenging so your body can adapt and grow. That's one of the biggest things you can do for your glutes. Number two is your nutrition. Are you eating enough protein, mmm? Are you sustaining a caloric surplus If you're trying to gain weight? For those of you who are petite, Um and again, according to research, the ideal intake is 1.6 to 2.2 grams per kilogram, or 0.8 to 1 gram per pound for your protein intake.
Speaker 1:Again 1.6 to 2.2 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight, or 0.8 to1 gram of protein per pound of body weight. Oh okay, typical, I mean, think about your protein sources. What are some vegan protein sources? Everyone knows I'm not even probably meat, fish, eggs, dairy. That's the typical protein powder way and all that. That's the typical things that people go to. What are some vegan?
Speaker 2:Vegan options.
Speaker 1:Beans or protein. Yeah, tempe, you know tempi, tempe, oh, that's tough.
Speaker 2:But I mean, tempi is not probably the worst thing out there. Legumes, like you said, beans. Beans are, you know, like. If I could eat, I want to add more beans to my diet because fiber, a lot of fiber in there will help you out. Plus you get the protein. But you know us Filipinos, we're deceptible to gout and I'm not saying I have gout, but I'm just saying that beans is like a huge oh, really, I didn't know that?
Speaker 2:What about canoa? Canoa, quinoa I don't mind quinoa. The problem with quinoa is the texture. Feel for me Like it gets all up in your, like gums and stuff, like it just feels like it's everywhere. It's weird, but you know it's all right. But protein, in terms of for vegans Possible meats, you know I don't mind impossible. Burgers, they I'm, and I'm specifically saying the impossible brand beyond. Burger is okay but impossible. If you, when you grill that on a grill and you get the marks on there, you get a little smoke on there, you, I don't think you taste. I could tell the difference if you gave me a real burger.
Speaker 1:Really.
Speaker 2:If you just said here you have this burger and I ate it, I was good, but I probably say it's a little dry because there doesn't have fat, right, but you know, you know what. Interesting though, if you look at the macros on a impossible burger, it has quite a amount of fat in it. Huh, or like. I guess. It's like it's not animal fat, obviously, but in terms of like macros versus protein, it's like it's interesting, it's like it's not as like high protein versus fat. That I would think the only reason I think like this is because for my macros it's high protein, low fat, so I'm always looking for items that will give me a lot of protein versus the fat. That's why I don't eat a lot of ribeyes, or even salmon, because salmon has a lot of fat in it, so I ended up eating more white fish.
Speaker 1:Just ate a crapton of salmon, 10 ounces.
Speaker 2:You know I said that's why I'm saying like the uh, was it the? The pork tenderloin stuff, like that Cause I'm trying to find all the cause. I can't eat chicken Tilapia, but tilapia is good. I know some people are reserved about tilapia cause it's farm braised. It's not really natural and I understand.
Speaker 2:But you know, I mean just, it's just, they're just like adding it like you know, just adding different proteins once in a while just to change up the taste and stuff. And you can buy a tilapia from good farm braised Trader Joe's. I think Trader Joe's depends on where it's from. I think you get it from like New Zealand or something Like. Their farming systems are really good. If you get from like China and stuff like that, it's a little more like uh, they, the feed isn't as good that they give them and they're like mass, like you know. They sell it everywhere, you know, so they have they're like mass producing these things, but you know. But yeah, in terms of uh, I'm sorry, what were we talking about? Vegan?
Speaker 2:You were talking about vegan, I was just we went straight to fish, sorry, uh, I'm trying to think like I at the top of my head, like beans is a big one. I mean mushrooms have protein. I don't know, I can't remember.
Speaker 1:I just don't like mushrooms because it gets watery.
Speaker 2:Oh, you're just not cooking your mushrooms enough.
Speaker 1:Okay, they cook them longer, so deep fry them.
Speaker 2:I mean, I mean yeah.
Speaker 1:The third thing that could be preventing your glutes is also recovery Are you lost in motivation to train, progressively worse performance, weaker grip, sleep issues, um so, giving your muscles at least 48 hours of recovery before training them again, controlling your training volume, and inferred as as not as to feel sore for three or more days, sleeping at least seven hours per night Very, and this is all about like even just goes. I mean, we're talking about the glute muscles, but this is like mull growing muscle in general. This whole article and we definitely have links link articles backing up these topics but that's pretty much what could be affecting why your glutes aren't getting bigger.
Speaker 2:Yeah, the booty games, the booty, the booty.
Speaker 1:daddy's the brutal butt stuff. But I mean just stay consistent. Beyond top there's always something that you could adjust to continue the growth Right.
Speaker 2:Sometimes you got to like change it up too, because your body plateaus, you know they get used to the routine or what you're eating. So sometimes you got to change it up.
Speaker 1:Dude, yeah, yeah. So next topic we're going to be talking, we're going to be reacting to one of these gym stories to close out, let's go. Something that is we're going to talk about Always. We're going into this blind.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah. So let's see what happens.
Speaker 1:So let's see, let's see what we want to do here. Let's see you want to go? The yoga fart incident, unexpected pickup attempt or spontaneous dance party.
Speaker 2:You know what we're talking about the prosthetic handprint. Because we were talking about, like the tick tock dance party or the tan thing. Let's go with the dance party one.
Speaker 1:All right, let's do it. So we're going to go to the dance party one. And this is found on Dustin Mayer fitness funny gym stories.
Speaker 2:Okay.
Speaker 1:Okay. Written by Joseph Tyler. Okay, so Wait what? Where is it? I?
Speaker 2:think you passed it? No, where is it the first one. Oh no no, no, go down a little bit. Oh, I don't know, maybe we got to keep going.
Speaker 1:Right there.
Speaker 2:Okay, there you go All right.
Speaker 1:Okay, working out can be a serious business, but sometimes it's important to let loose and have a little fun. In this funny Jim story, we'll call him Alex. Alex was in the middle of a cardio session when he noticed something strange happening in the corner of the gym. He looked, though. As he looked over, he saw a group of gym goers breaking out into a spontaneous dance party. At first Alex was taken back After all, the gym isn't exactly known for its party atmosphere but as he watched, he couldn't help but feel a little bit more envious.
Speaker 1:A little bit envious with the dancer's carefree attitude. Before he knew it, alex had joined the dance party, letting loose and busting a move, and with other, with other gym goers, and to his surprise, he found that the impromptu dance party had lifted his spirits and boosted his mood, making his workout feel less like a chore and more like a fun activity. As Alex danced and laughed, he couldn't help but think how often he'd take ourselves to seriously in the gym. Sure, we're working out, but it's also important to remember that it's okay to join ourselves. And while we're doing it, alex's story is a reminder of man that story's like oh, okay, so that story is just a feel good.
Speaker 2:It's a feel good story, feel good. Congratulations to that guy. Hey, here's your flowers. He was feeling a little sad and he saw the dance party and it got his spirits up.
Speaker 1:Okay, all right, okay, that was like a PG story.
Speaker 2:So let's get something, let's get the hand prank, I'm gonna. No, get the hand prank one. I think that's. I think we gotta go extreme here.
Speaker 1:Okay, the hand prank, the prosthetic hand 2012. This is by lepfitnesscouk. Okay, about five years ago, not long after I started the business, I remember desperately trying to find new clients. I posted ads on gum treat the fuck is that? Dropped off flyers, contacted people through Facebook, knocked on doors, you name it. I was desperate. I just left university, had zero money, I had no student loan to rely on and both me and Sally were living off her nanny wage of six pounds per hour. Scared, worried and anxious about paying the bills would be a huge understatement. So I'm sure you can guess how delighted I was when I managed to get a few consultations booked in.
Speaker 1:I remember this one time when my friend from uni were over. My friends from uni were over at my house. We were playing FIFA on the Xbox and having a laugh, but I had a new client consultation book and so I had to send everybody home before they arrived. Just one more game of FIFA. That's why they kept saying. That's what they kept saying Until about 15 minutes before the new client arrived. After finally getting rid of them, I quickly tidied the house and tried to psych myself up with some music. I was super nervous as I only had about enough money to get me through another week. No pressure, all was going well. At the consultation, I felt confident and after some initial questions.
Speaker 1:I took the new client outside for a free training session, but after the warm up I noticed the client looked to the left and do a double take jaw, dropping eyes in shock and turning completely white in the face. I thought to myself shit, what have I done? Please don't pass out. Please don't die on me. Then I looked over to see what all the fuss was about. To my horror, I saw a chopped off hand with blood pouring out of it. Oh my god, there's a dead body in my garden. I thought I was totally speechless, freaked out. They're gonna think I'm a psychocerocillar personal trainer. With no words and utter shock.
Speaker 1:I ran over to the dead body. It was a prosthetic hand with a fake blood. From discovering the fake hand, I felt a great sense of release, but at the same time I was extremely confused. How the heck did this thing get here? After racking my brains, eventually the answer came up to me. My mates had set me up After the session. I called one of them up and they picked up. When they picked it up, it was on loudspeaker and about five of them started to laugh hysterically. Surprisingly, the client still signed up. I think they probably felt sorry for me. That's so fucked up.
Speaker 2:Hey, that's one way to get a client. Hey, I'm feeling bad for you. You have shitty friends. Let me sign you up.
Speaker 1:Bro, why would you do that? That's so messed up oh my goodness. Yo, you're trying to mess with his money bro.
Speaker 2:That's kind of fucked up, bro. And then they called him like have funny prank dude. Did you sign him? You like the blood? It's real blood, dude. It was tight. It was like ketchup and corn syrup. It was sick. We saw it on YouTube. It's real blood, bro. Did you sign him? Did you get him Fucking shit? Do you think it was funny? That is horrible. You know what? See, where did they get a prosthetic hand? That's what who's-.
Speaker 1:Someone could use the prosthetic hand and they bought it for a prank.
Speaker 2:There's like that Spencer's Dude, it's by this. What for Dude? Just keep it in trunk, we'll figure it out. You never know, there'll be a time. And then when they're waiting for the call, so you dude.
Speaker 1:I told you it would come in handy.
Speaker 2:They get off the phone and they're like dude, that was so funny.
Speaker 1:They didn't even record it. Oh yes, they didn't even record it, though. Like they at least record it. That would have been funny.
Speaker 2:Dude, that would have been funny. It would probably made the client feel a lot better if the one was recording it, bro.
Speaker 1:But what if the client freaked out and just left? Well, he did freak out.
Speaker 2:He didn't leave he just bolted, but like I don't know the recession, is a bloody cat.
Speaker 1:Thanks guys.
Speaker 2:Fucking hey dude.
Speaker 1:Dude, this guy was like back against the wall trying to sign up his first client, like I've been there, and to have like a bloody hand like to just throw you off like that, bro.
Speaker 2:That was his first client.
Speaker 1:Or, like you know, like I've been there where it's like yeah, you're trying to You're trying to build your clientele.
Speaker 2:It's hard.
Speaker 1:You have nothing to go off of and the same thing.
Speaker 2:That's pretty wild actually.
Speaker 1:I would that's a JB thing to do, though.
