00:08:42.820like you can't have them both and think you're gonna win all right man let's get set up
00:08:49.700when i get uh back to the studio i'll send the stuff you need yeah clear out my schedule make
00:08:54.660it happen right off the bat alan got me to do 16 day cleanse with a first it was a 48 hour
00:09:02.340essentially a fast it was it was tomato juice i mean 350 cows a day for two days never fasted in
00:09:08.500my life it was both the hardest thing i'd done kind of like food wise uh ever in my life but
00:09:15.780at the same time incredibly interesting just watching my thoughts and my body and just
00:09:21.060how much time you get back because you're not eating so you literally just if you think about
00:09:26.020how much time you spend an hour and a half two hours a day eating i got all that time back so
00:09:29.940yeah the intensity was crazy i was worried i wasn't gonna have any energy so far so good
00:09:38.500I know. A few days later, I showed up at his gym and he walked me through kind of how he wants me
00:09:43.880to do the workouts. And I never considered something like, you know, what they call
00:09:47.900progressive overload or hypertrophy training. It was fascinating that a 60 minute workout
00:09:53.600done at that level of intensity just got everything done. I go to the gym for two and a half hours
00:09:59.520talking to people. Now that I know what I know, it's hilarious how much time not only did I waste,
00:10:04.360I never got the result because I wasn't actually doing the activity properly.
00:10:34.360Now push, stall. Right there. That way all the tension stays on your shoulders, doesn't go into your triceps at all.
00:10:44.740So what you're saying, I've been doing this wrong my whole life.
00:10:47.540I just tweaked what you were doing currently. Up, stall. Don't change that at all.
00:10:52.040I like this because I believe that our capacity expands at the extremities and this work is pushing me to go like, hey, how much more can you fit in?
00:11:03.020and when it's like no this has to be this way how'd that go one great probably one of the best
00:11:11.900meetings i've ever had in 45 minutes my challenge right now is my energy's like
00:11:15.400looks delicious looks delicious yeah it looks so fucking good fuel fuel well at least i get some
00:11:25.340real food. He loves salt. Nope. Nothing. Zero. He's like, I don't care. How long have you been
00:11:35.420eating this meal for? I've been on this diet. This will be my third day. I've trained a lot in my
00:11:44.240life. Okay. I will tell you this is up there with doing like Murph and CrossFit and hill sprint
00:11:52.200repeats but it's every workout like it's not like oh one time a week we got to do hill sprints do
00:11:59.240some zone five it's like every time i go see him i have to be prepared to go in the massive pain
00:12:05.640cave like massive like you have to turn off your logical brain and just accept that there's some
00:12:11.080suffering that's about to happen he said it's simple you lift the same you look the same if
00:12:16.520you go to the gym and you're lifting the same as you have been for months don't be surprised if you
00:12:20.840look the same it's interesting though because like day one mentally oh this scary day two better
00:12:28.300still some pockets yesterday really good we'll see what happens today but um yeah there is a
00:12:35.420mental component to being a caloric deficit yeah man my coach has got me on this uh cleanse
00:12:43.080restrictive whatever whatever it's bananas i swallowed my gum because i was that hungry
00:12:48.600it's true i did on the plane i was like i'm gonna swallow my gum
00:12:53.340dude i need to i gotta tell the hotel to take all the in my room dude there's too much
00:12:57.680snacks and stuff i don't trust myself rule number one avoid the dragon don't try to slay it hello
00:13:05.120i have a request a weird one but a request nonetheless um the snack thing in my room
00:13:12.140could i get it removed yeah get it out of here now that i know there's reese's get it though
00:13:17.000Got here cuz I'm coming to your room man, and your room's hand. I'm gonna steal your boxes
00:29:32.020And while everybody else enjoyed the best food and restaurants and pizza and hot dogs and snacks and marshmallows and schmores and all that stuff, I was doing meal prep.
00:29:42.940now it's not forever it was for a moment I had to put my heads down get it done and the whole time
00:29:50.220everybody was like wow you look incredible wow you look incredible and now all those people
00:29:55.640many of them came to me and said like what are you doing clearly at work sometimes it's almost
00:29:59.540like you got to go so hard in the paint you got to like try so hard you got to win so big
00:30:04.140that the people that were hating on you eventually come back and ask how you did it
00:30:08.160The photo shoot is in two days. We're two days out. 48 hours. So today, eight liters of water
00:30:20.340before noon, then nothing, then tomorrow, four liters, and then photo shoot the next day. I swear
00:30:29.440to God, when I started, I was like, all right, I'll get to 207, and then I'll stay, you know,
00:30:33.380visible abs cool then I'll probably stay under 215 I literally said that to myself and as I
00:30:39.620progressed it was like oh no this is the new norm you know what I mean like this is I feel great
00:30:45.660why would I not want to look like this all the time and it's been there the whole time bro
00:30:51.380I didn't even put on any muscle this is what was under all the fat
00:30:55.440Mike I just weighed in 198. Get out of here. That's crazy. Dude I haven't weighed that since
00:31:10.140I was 17. Alan's happy. I told him I was going to do the work. I did the work. So now we got
00:31:16.860maintenance. How do you plan to maintain your body? The way I maintain now is just like remind myself
00:31:21.100like this is the new norm. This is the new identity. This is actually like I got rid of
00:31:24.980all my old clothes. I bought new clothes. This is what I wear. This is who I am. You know, I just
00:31:30.460reset my identity. Chocolate and coffee for the photo shoot. What did I do to deserve this present,
