Joe Rogan Experience #2389 - Sal Vulcano

Oh
The Joe Rogan experience
What's up was last time I saw you it was I was here promoting my special
man, it was a
June of last year damn time fly. Yeah. Yeah a fucking whole year. I had another
child since then even oh my goodness
Congratulations, look at you out there breeding right at the population. How
old are you?
40 I'll be 49 in November. So did you do the math like when your kids 20? I
brought I've done every man
Every piece of math you could do it. It's healthy. Yeah. No, I am. That's
exactly what happened
I started with a trainer four weeks ago and
And and just did all this blood work and taking all these scans and tests and
stuff now just because I'm like I have to
Yeah, I had to be here as long as possible. I changes the game when you have
children
Yeah, you can fuck off and do coke and heroin
Yeah
Yeah
As soon as you have a kid you're like, oh my god, I want to leave my kid I was
eating because I would have a cereal I
Was like backing out of the drive without looking but like now most of my
Instagram algorithm is things that I shouldn't eat
Yeah, it's like sandwiches sandwiches and pizza. You have trouble with that
stuff. No, no, not at all. No, I don't have trouble
Yeah, I just know it's not good for you. Yeah most mostly I eat good stuff
What's what's what's like a yeah, you're like an egg white? No, I eat yolks
Okay, yolks are the healthy part yolks. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I eat the whole egg,
but I have chickens
What's your eggs? Are you like a like do you have like a diet like an Olympic
like are you like an Olympian?
No, you like I eat weighing your food and no, no, no, no, no, no, I eat way too
much if I weighed my food
I'd be like I eat for a 300 pound man. Yeah, exactly. That's because of how
much you exercise and stuff
It's all that but it's also I'm a glutton. Yeah, I'm a glutton, but you could
do it
Yeah, I can get away with it. Yeah, but I do eat a lot like if I go out to
dinner
I will eat a large steak. I will have multiple sides of multiple appetizers
And then I look like I'm pregnant when I leave
That's how you eat. Yeah, you just
Fucking you I eat a lot of food man. It's not it's not smart. How do you burn
all your calories? Is it all like you have is it all like?
Jiu-jitsu stuff or what I do a lot of working out, but I also do intermittent
fasting
I'm just smart about when to be a glutton and then when to back off. Yeah, you
know
I just don't keep my foot on the gas. That's all you're like when I go to New
York
It's all Italian food. It's Italian food for like three days
You gotta you have to eat it every day. I could too. It's a problem. It's a
problem. It's all Italian subs and pasta
You have your favorite spots in New York. Oh, yeah. Yeah, I got a bunch of
spots. I got a bunch of spots
I got a spot in Vegas, too
We're just at this place guy Tano's it's all handmade pasta with imported flour
from Italy. We ate there after the fights
Oh my god, I have to go there. I'm gonna I'm going through Vegas on I'm still
touring the tour that I was here with less
That started in 24. I'm going through till all the way through 26. Oh nice.
Yeah, damn
Yeah, I took like a three month
Well, I took a break when I have my my big menu baby and then I took like a
little bit of a like a six month
But now I'm like back at it full I got a bunch of big shows coming up
So it's like let me get out there and like tell people I'm still alive
yeah, you got
You gotta get out there if you want to do something because it's like
You know if you just work in the city. Yeah, you can't really put together an
hour
No, I mean I piece it together. I mean, I'm I'm constantly on the road
I just I just went down just to have a little bit of a breather because we just
finished
Rap in season 12 of the show and so I was touring and doing the show and I had
and I had a kid
So it's like I just couldn't even and then we produced another show and all
that shit in between
So it's like I just haven't been I went on hiatus on my podcast and stuff
because I had to something had to give
So now it's like let me let me just get back out there and just so now I'm not
filming
I'm just really focusing on the tour and like a new pod I got coming out when
you do stand up
Do you take guys with you that are your friends on the road? Yeah, that's the
move. Yeah all the time
That's the only way to go. It makes it it makes it fun. Yeah fun. Yeah, you're
with buddies
It's like a vacation that you get to work at. Yeah, if I if I didn't it's it
can get it can get depressing fast real fast
Yeah, if you're so low super fast you're so low and you're working with local
openers, especially if they
They're boring. Yeah, and they're did not fun to hang out with. Oh, yeah, that's
in the club in the room
I'm even talking I didn't like the hotel and stuff. Oh, that's bad, too. Yeah,
you just got to find things to do for me
It's always I work out and I play pool. So those are two things that occupy a
lot of them. Yeah, so that's good
I didn't work out and I didn't play pool. So
I'm like I got I got this guy right and I'm like, um, I'm weak. I have no
stamina
I'm old and like I need to reverse all this, you know, like so like you're
gonna start with me now
And I'm I'm really gonna show you nothing like I well, that's good. Yeah, that
means
But that's good. Yeah, you'll be able to see progress. Yeah, it's all no matter
where you're at
If you're thinking about working out do it because it's a good place to start
no matter where you're at
Yeah, if you're really fit great good place to start. Yeah, get even more fit
sure if you're out of shape great good place to start
Good place to start baby steps. Don't go too hard. Don't get hurt build up slow.
Yeah, I got some blood work back
And I was like I need to change some of these numbers and like also I got like
a it's like an in-depth blood work
And like they like they told me all this extra stuff that I couldn't have known
and one is I'm very susceptible to soft tissue injury
Oh, you're a bitch. Yeah, I'm a bitch
It said bitch I was translated
It said bitch on the paper and then this is how I make myself feel better about
how they've determined whether you're soft tissue whether you're a bitch
Yeah, that doesn't even make any sense. I don't know. It just said I'm very
susceptible to like like I guess
Whatever it is ligament bruising ligament like that kind of stuff. Huh?
Well, that's just from years of not lifting weights. That's all those you think
that's just changed my blood so that that's yeah
100% well, I told the guy and he's like, all right, that's good to know and
then like like my sixth session
I like like we were doing that thing where like I
Throw a medicine bolt down really hard and then like catch it and then swing it
to him and like on the swing thing I was like
Yeah, you gotta I would never have you do stuff like that to start out with
yeah to start out you should do bodyweight stuff
and you should do it like moderately like when I had a bunch of guys in here we
were doing comedians workouts on on Tuesdays and
One of the things that we always did was sometimes did Tuesdays and Thursdays
But one of the things we always did in if anybody's just starting out
I'm like do not go to failure do not push yourself. I know I want you to get
out of here and feel fine
Yeah, I don't know that he did say that for to be fair
He's not like killing me or anything, but we worked up to that
But that that one and then we just backed off of it
Rotational stuff is difficult because you know you're putting all especially if
you're not particularly coordinated and you're throwing a lot of torque
You know one way or the other way when you throw in a medicine ball
I got tons of torque here torque
I got so much torque right like what I don't understand like what would
determine whether or not you're more susceptible to soft tissue injury
The only thing that makes sense is that you haven't been working out like
unless there's a biomarker. Yeah
Is there I think so yeah, but let's let's try perplexity out because our new
sponsor
Let's find out put that in perplexity find out. What is a biomarker that would
indicate you're more susceptible to soft tissue injury. I
Had my results in a PDF somewhere I could call I can call my doctor
Well, we'll find out we'll find out quick
But it just to me the only thing that would make sense is that you haven't been
using that tissue
That's the only thing that would make sense and there's probably things that
they could show in terms of levels of like
Creatinine I think that's how you say it and maybe some other stuff that would
indicate
Here it goes. What biomarker would indicate one susceptible to soft tissue
injuries?
Well-supported biomarker that indicates susceptibility soft tissue injuries
genetic variant. Oh and the elastin el engine gene
Interesting which has been identified as a marker of ligament weakness and may
signal increased risk of injury. Whoa. Yeah, there you go
Is that so that's what you have? I'm a variant. I'm a
What do you call this? What do you call this X-men? I'm a mutant
So this is the word I was looking for classic serum protein markers like creatine
kinase
Lactate what's that word diodrogenase and
Myoglobin reflect muscle tissue breakdown and can indicate tissue vulnerability
or prior damage
But they're used in predicting susceptibility as opposed to reach an end as
opposed to recent injury is less robust
Recent research has also shown that profiling early healing stages through mass
Trauma key spec
Jesus Christ
Spectrometry can in identify multiple proteins whose baseline alterations
May point to greater risk for delayed or poor recovery. Hmm. So what does this
guy got you doing?
Like what is like a typical workout for you? He switches it up every single
every single time
I mean, I've been doing I've been seeing him about four weeks three times a
week. How'd you find him?
He actually lived in the building next to me. Oh, and I ran into him. This is
weird stuff
Has been happening like this lately. Like I'm like
I really got to get a trainer and I was like
Walking in between that we had a little thing like thing in the between the
buildings and he like he just was there talking to someone
And I he mentioned because I'm a physical trainer. I'm like I need someone
He's like I'll walk over we'll do it
So I do it like 6:30 no, that's the thing that's a little harder to is like I
the only time I could do it at
6:30 in the morning because I have like a you know
That's good though
No, I know I started the right way
It's gonna win it is good and it's been crazy like how much I feel like I've
done now by like two two o'clock in the afternoon
Yeah
But when that alarm goes off at like six and I know he's waiting downstairs and
you know
I'm just like now it's because now it's winter like back home
I don't know about here, but like it's still completely pitch black outside,
you know
like so just getting up in that darkness and be like
My wife's sleeping. I'm putting on a fucking headband
I sweat
I wore a hat at first, but I was like I need to get no I bought like I got like
fancier
I bought like a lululemon headband
It's not it's like I don't know. Yeah, I I look I look the part. Okay. I look
Listen that's it's all the looking the parts fun. No, no, it's all part of just
just fucking doing it
It's been good. I felt immediate it's immediately. It changes my this is that
release. It just feels great the first workout
I felt like right afterwards I was like
This is amazing. That's great. Yeah. Yeah, as long as you don't go too hard.
That's what I always tell everybody you can't
You're not gonna be able to keep up if you try a crazy pace
Right off the bat
You're not gonna be able to keep up with it and you're gonna not gonna be able
to recover you're gonna get broken down
You got to build it slow
I used to take care of itself with like just sports and stuff like but I don't
I don't do that anymore
You know, like I've done that in front
Are you a goo
