So, you know, forgive me for sharing that much, Mitch, but just, you know, there's some real stuff going on there that you just don't see anywhere else I find.
59:32
Yeah, no, for sure.
59:33
For sure.
59:34
And every, you know, at this point I've won four Arnold's, two World's, three Rogue Invitational, Strongest Man on Earth.
59:40
And you would think that the shows lose people.
59:45
They lose gravity over time, and parts of them do.
59:49
Like, the crowd isn't as exciting.

Are you willing to share a little bit about that? I read somewhere it's possibly something about the world's weakest man or something like that.
12:51
Can you talk a little bit about that when you think about those upsides? What do you see there?
12:56
So I asked Enhanced Games to be involved about three and a half years ago when it was just an idea.
13:03
I met with the CEO in London and I loved the concept of let's just pull the veil back on performance enhancements.
13:11
Because there's a performance enhancement side when you see Ronnie Coleman and you see guys like me doing superhuman things.
13:17
People don't aspire to do that on mass.
13:19
People aspire to be healthy for the long run.
13:22
And really, it's matching your health span to your lifespan.

And being loose and just...
17:11
I'd be able to help you out.
17:12
So when I was 13, I was scratched.
17:14
I was invited to go down to Sean Foley's golf high school.
17:17
He was coaching Tiger at the time.
17:19
I shot six under on nine holes.
17:21
I was invited to go to high school there.

I thought in
38:11
Okay.
38:11
A- and this is the thing, people believe that exercise is so much more complicated than it is, and if you wanna be a world champion, it's, it's intricate.
38:19
If you wanna be generally healthy, you wanna make the most of your training, the problem isn't really rep scheme.
38:24
It's not even really volume that most people run into.
38:27
It, it's, uh, just lack of intensity.
38:29
So, if we're structuring a, a exercise protocol for someone whose goal is to be healthy long-term, and they wanna go in the gym and, and do the work there, there are six fundamental movement patterns, and ironically this is a strongman contest as well.
38:43
It's push, pull, squat, hinge, overhead press, and carry.
