Boom and we're live. What's happening baby? What's up Joe? How are you brother? I'm feeling great man. Thanks for having me. You're looking great. Thanks. You're looking rather large. I threatened Joe before the show. I said you need to start off and tell me how beautiful I am.

Strong and pretty. Yeah. Is that your t-shirt company? Yeah, that's my clothing company. It's also through bunker branding and basically that's basically where I'm trying to keep this like a fist from your face.

There we go. I'm just afraid everyone's gonna hear me breathe like a fat guy.

You know? How much, did you do any cardio? I do most suddenly yeah if you watch strong man on on the experience so like when you pull a truck that 70,000 pounds you pull it for a hundred feet with a harness restraining your

chest like like a not expulsion but your chest expansion that's that's that's

the hardest cardio I've ever done I played football for a long time so I mean

yeah I can only imagine but I was I was thinking that like you have to have some

cardiovascular strength to do some of those routines some of the some of the

different challenges you guys have to do for. And normally like worlds will start with like what we call a load medley.

So you'll have normally like four implements, like you'll have two kegs and two sandbags.

And the kegs will both weigh 265 pounds and the

sandbags will be 330 that's what we did last year which was fucking brutal but

you'll have to load each one of them onto a platform that's about 60 feet away.

So, you know, if you get going, it's not just cardio, you have to have diaphragm strength too.

Like if you've got a weak diaphragm, you're just going to fold. I've seen guys black out at World Strong as Man.

So what is it, how does one strengthens their diaphragm?

What we do, the normal exercise we did, it doesn't really have a name, it's just kind of

of something we made up.

You'll lay on your back and you take like a sandbag and put it over your upper abdomen and you'll expand, you'll push out really hard and you try and hold it for like say, say like two minutes and you learn to take tight little breaths while flexing your upper

abdominal abdominals. Whoa I can spoke. So you've got the weight on you right and

you just

to shh hushhush and you stay flexed and it's like you know how you see fighters taking
