Joe Rogan podcast check it out the Joe Rogan experience train by day Joe Rogan
podcast by
night all day what's going on good to see you man thank you very much for that
extraordinary
piece of athletic equipment you brought to the gym absolutely is there a photo
of that so we
could show people what it looks like uh yeah it should be on the website x-factor
and what is it
called uh it's called the x-factor oh it's called yes what is the website sorenx.com
go to sorenx.com
check out the x-factor sorry it's actually pull it up jamie pull it up jamie
isn't that nice to say
that yes man it's uh it's big so this is the machine yeah it's actually judge
who was here a minute ago
yeah it's a a brilliant machine man the idea that you could push and pull
rotational rotational power
machine it really is a genius idea man and uh for things like striking sports
that's huge like the ability to push and pull at the same time while stabilizing
your core I mean
that is undoubtedly gonna help people like it's you're definitely gonna be able
to deliver more
power and strikes right because you you take the ground force and then be able
to put it through
obviously with the core excess yeah all three planes of motion all we obviously
go through your core
and then puts it into your either your feet or your uh your arms it's just so
unusual that you
can do something like that I mean I guess you kind of can do something like
that with cables with the
cable machine but that seems better yeah because you have a little bit of a
balance component as well
but but you're right like you're blocking let's say you're a right hand you're
blocking on that left
leg you're stabilizing out the right hamstring and hip but yeah especially when
you get that little
extra extension I call it the riblets right there your obliques it just locks
everything in
so I'm interested to see what you come up with it's pretty dope and you were
telling me that this was
originally uh like you you came up with this idea from an older machine that's
not yeah yeah so we've
we you know I've been in this industry a long time and as well as you have but
it's kind of taken a
remastered series where we're taking all like the cool stuff that was could
have been our designs but
it could have been just old designs or just like kind of lost to the ages and
you're like hey that
was a cool piece but it sucked because you had to load it weird or it was like
maybe wasn't as safe
as it could have been and so it's like let's let's break the whole thing apart
figure out what was
good about it and then that was like the eighth iteration we just kept playing
with it and then it was
like when you realize the double axis is what made the user experience cool
then it was like okay this
is badass and you know I sent that video to you and and then a couple colleges
have already bought them
and then uh Ryan Krauser the world champion and record holder in the shop put
it was like yeah like
this is all rotational power how do we turn that on yeah it's it's so cool
today because there's so much
social media and there's so much so many videos and youtube videos of people
using equipment like
15 20 years ago you had to go to a gym and go oh what is that oh that's cool
where'd you get that
how's that work the big guy in the gym you had to like hey what's the deal yeah
you and I grew up in
the same era where we're going to gyms all the time and there's a bunch of quacks
telling you to do
stuff always yeah and then use a bro scientist total bro scientist yeah and
then and then you just
like hey if that guy's really good at something you know yeah back in the day I
would after I compete
probably much like you after I compete I would get whoever was better than me
and I would offer to
take him out to dinner and I would just go hey like I'd feed them beers until
they basically told me
how they beat me
just like well how much are you cleaning or what are you doing then I would
pick up some little
idiosyncrasy of training and they're like oh we would do this contrast and I'm
like what's that and I
would just keep digging and digging and digging I'd go back and figure it out
well I remember when I was
competing they would tell you to not lift weights which is so hilarious they
used to say that they
used to say it will slow you down and you'll become tight yeah and I remember
thinking like why don't
you just stretch if you're tight yeah so horsepower makes the car slower it
didn't make any sense to me
it's like they thought that the only exercise you should do is martial arts
itself just hit the bag
right you know train now when do you when do you think that well you got you
know uh Bruce Lee would
do I mean he did some exercise did a lot of isometrics yeah
yeah and he had some lifting but it was always pretty light
but what would you say was the when that changed
I think it was Evander Holyfield
I think it was Mackie Shillstone trained Evander Holyfield when he went up to
heavyweight
and I remember myself at the time so this was in the 90s I remember thinking
what is he doing
he's lifting weights he's gonna fuck himself up don't doesn't he know that all
these coaches have
already figured it out right and then all of a sudden Evander got all these
traps dude he was
trapped and dealt it out he got jacked yeah and he became a legitimate heavyweight
also pretty sure
there were some Mexican supplements involved yeah he might have gone across the
border
I think it's a strong possibility there was some help because also like you
never heard of anybody
tested positive for steroids back then no and I know for a fact that some of
those guys were on steroids
I would not disagree I know people who know people and you know I mean we're
all the same
I would fucking put it all on black yeah well because up until 91 steroids
weren't even illegal
as a controlled substance do you know who caused it to be illegal Joe Biden no
shit yep that
motherfucker it was all him yeah you know Derek for more plates more dates was
telling us about it
the other day I'm like that motherfucker he did it that should be alone a
reason
I don't know why well I guess the idea is that people could abuse it right
right here's the deal
folks you can abuse almost everything sure this is my argument against online
gambling you know
there's a lot of people that think online gambling should be banned because so
many people are losing
money on online gambling shut the fuck up do you know how easy it is to not
online gamble it's so easy
you know how easy it is I've never online gambled it makes two of us that's how
easy it is to not
online gambling I'd probably forget my password to get into the thing but yeah
like I'm not discounting
the fact that gambling is addictive I personally know gambling addicts one of
my best friends
Dana White is a fucking gambling addict he happens to be insanely wealthy so he
can get away with it
but that helps I grew up in pool halls I know gambling addicts I get it I'm not
one yeah so it's possible
to like fucking have some self-control and discipline and willpower the weird
thing I've never done
crack either crazy it's crack is everywhere and it's a scourge of humanity I've
never done crack
you know it's really weird I'm so I've never even seen crack I've seen it yeah
I I saw cocaine once
in my entire life which is wild based on that is pretty well I know a lot of
people and it's like
yeah like did they just think I would just say no to that because I grew up in
the 80s just say no
generation but I haven't seen I didn't think it was like a real thing since I
was in high school
I've never I really yeah yeah which is kind of crazy because I know so many
people who do coke
yeah um but I was at a party in high school the last time I saw someone doing
coke no way yeah in
your world yeah my world yeah why don't I don't do anything like that I don't
ever around I've never
done coke I've never even thought about doing it neither yeah but never had the
desire because I was
around people that were abusing it when I was in high school so I was like okay
do you think that's
because you're such like a strong personality and like kind of role model that
people are like hey
Joe's not into that like keep it away from it um you think they're like
respectful of that and just
kind of know the deal they just know I don't want it yeah I think yeah I'm just
not interested in
anything that gives me more confidence I'm not interested in that I got plenty
of that I like humility
I'm looking for humility I don't like confidence boosters I don't like anything
that gives you like a
ridiculous sense of like your abilities like I'm not I'd rather be humble yeah
I'm not interested
I mean delusionment is a is a strong is a strong suit if sometimes yeah no and
it could get your
pound up too definitely yeah I think it gets you pretty far and then your
wheels come off
it's like when you're skateboarding when you're a kid you see a guy on a
motorcycle and you see when
