Joe Rogan Podcast, check it out.
The Joe Rogan Experience.
Train by day, Joe Rogan Podcast by night, all day.
And we're up.
What's happening?
I'm in.
How fun was that?
Oh, that was a blast.
We had a good day.
Dude, that was three hours.
Yeah, we got Shane Gillis, Brian Simpson, Asan Ahmad, Tony Hinchcliffe, Duncan
Trussell,
you and me.
We had a fucking banging workout.
Then we did the sauna.
We did the cold plunge.
We did the whole experience.
We did the sauna again.
Yeah.
Cold plunge again.
I did it twice.
Cold plunge, man.
Yeah.
That was great.
And I love what you're doing down here, by the way, with the boys.
Yeah.
Getting down here, giving them this opportunity to get after it, not only in
their craft, but
also getting in shape.
Yeah.
Those guys are really getting in shape.
Two dudes with diabetes today.
They just don't work out, you know?
But we're doing it now.
This is the third week, and we've been talking about it forever.
But when Shane moved to town, he's like, dude, I got to get in shape.
I got to do something.
I go, listen, let's start on Monday nice and light.
And so we started nice and light.
Today was a pretty hard day for them.
Yeah.
But generally, it's pretty easy.
I just have them do push-ups, bodyweight squats, and a series of very light
kettlebell routines.
Just simple stuff.
Right.
Just get them used to it.
Yeah.
Right?
And then I started adding the bag at the end.
The sprints on the bag.
The bag was great, by the way.
Yeah.
It's a great way to end it.
Yes.
Yeah.
Great way.
Great way.
But I like working out with those guys.
You feel it.
Yeah.
You feel their desire.
None of them quit.
None of them.
No, they hung in there.
Pussed out.
They were there.
They hung in there through the sauna.
They hung in there through the cold plunge.
Everything.
Yeah.
It's just, they want to do it.
You know, sometimes people just need a little help.
They're not used to doing it.
They know they want to get in shape, but they don't know how.
That's right.
They don't know how to take that first step, and they just need a little bit of
help, especially
if it's different with you.
And luckily for me, too, we grew up in that environment where it pushes us, and
it's what we do,
and it's part of our DNA.
But you get to, and all those guys, it's really cool.
They look to you for the show me the way, and they do it.
Yeah.
Well, they realize once they've done it a few times, they walk out here, they
feel so good.
They feel so, like I get text messages from each one of them.
They're like, God, I feel fucking great.
I feel great.
I'm like, good.
You don't want to walk out of a workout beat up.
You want to walk out just a little energized, feeling better, and then slowly
going to ramp things up.
So this is week three.
Today was their hardest day.
But it was just, you know, you were here.
I was like, we got to go hard.
The Rock's here.
We got to go hard.
We lit it up.
We lit it up.
Yeah, we lit it up.
But they hung in there, and everybody walked out with a big smile on their face.
We all had a great time.
It was so good, man.
Yeah.
It was so good.
And I told some of the boys this.
Like, I miss that kind of stuff because it's been a while, you know, since I
worked out with the boys back when I was wrestling.
We'd all work together because we were traveling together every night and going
to the same gym every day or different cities.
But I miss that, that camaraderie.
Yeah, the camaraderie's nice.
I kind of used my workout.
Most of the time, I work out alone.
I used to work with a trainer.
But after a while, I realized, like, I don't need to help pushing myself.
I just write a routine.
And there's a certain meditative aspect to being alone with your thoughts.
And just, I like to put fights on so I can watch something in between sets.
But I just like to be, and I like to be accountable 100% for my work.
Like, I know what I have to do.
I know what I do it.
And it sets the tone for the day, which sets the tone for my life.
That's how I feel about it.
It's just the same thing with me in training.
I love training alone.
And it's been a long time since I trained with the boys.
That's why it was a real treat.
It was fun, man.
It was fun.
Those guys are all hilarious.
Fucking hilarious, dude.
Yeah, it's all just a lot of talking shit.
Some talking shit and some jokes.
Talking so out of his mind.
It's just so great.
It was great.
It was amazing.
But the training alone, though, that is important, you know, for the mental.
I feel like, for me, it anchors my day.
But also, too, life is so busy and crazy from the moment you wake up and you
walk outside.
Everybody's wanting something from you.
Yeah.
So, for many of us, by the way, whether it's celebrity or not.
Yeah.
So, it's nice to have that anchor in the morning.
Do you train in the mornings?
Always.
Yeah, always in the morning.
But sometimes I do it in the afternoon.
If I have some sort of an appointment or something, I just get it in.
I must get it in.
But I like to start the day with it.
That's what I like to do.
Yeah, me too.
It's the best way.
It's like you get it out of the way.
And also, I like to do it fasted.
So, I wake up and have a cup of coffee, get some pre-workout in me and just
fucking let's go.
That's it.
Yeah, let's go.
And I go right into the cold plunge.
That's the first thing.
So, the first thing is suffering.
Like, right away, suffer.
Yes.
If it's cold outside, who gives a fuck?
Get in there.
Suffer.
Yes.
Suffer for three minutes and then warm yourself up through working out and then
get into it.
But we did it reverse today.
Was it because – how come we did it reverse today with the guys that was –
Well, those guys are not really ready to get in the cold plunge first.
They're not really – don't dive in first.
Yeah, that's next level.
I get them in the cold plunge after the sauna because it's easier because your
body temperature is already heated up
and there's a certain amount of relief when you get into the cold water because,
you know, in that 185 degrees for 20 minutes.
Yes.
When you get in that cold, then your body relaxes.
And I just did it – I just want to get them accustomed to doing – a sauna
impresses the shit out of me.
Three minutes is the first time.
You did too.
Three minutes is your first time.
Thank you, man.
Yeah.
It was awesome.
You just stayed calm as fuck in there.
I felt like that's the thing to do.
Yeah.
Right?
You get in and I heard you coaching the boys, breathe.
Yeah.
You're good.
Just accept it.
Just accept it.
Don't – because your brain goes, we've got to get the fuck out of here.
Get the fuck out of here.
I've got to get the fuck out of here.
I can't do this.
I can't do this.
And if you let that shit roll around in your head.
Then you're up.
But it's also good practice for not letting that shit roll around in your head
in everyday life because there's times in everyday life where you just like can
make a rash
decision because your brain ramps up the wrong way.
And if you just stay calm, you could see a rational solution or a rational way
to handle something.
To any kind of shit that's going down.
Any kind of shit that's going down.
Yes.
The ability to keep your head together.
That's right.
And you're like, and that cold water is like, you want to – get me the fuck
out of here.
It goes against every fiber in your body.
Yeah.
And as you know, like today was my first cold plunge.
I ordered it.
It gets delivered next week.
But today was the first one.
Nice.
So that's why I had to get it.
Which one did you get?
I don't know which one I got.
There's a bunch of good ones out there.
I know I needed just a longer one.
Yeah.
You need a bigger one.
You barely fit in ours.
You're fucking switched up in there.
It was hilarious.
It was great.
Yeah, that one is interesting because that's called a blue cube.
And the blue cube has a very cool option where you can crank up the water flow.
So you get it down.
So it spins.
Yeah.
So it's 37 degrees.
And then you hit this switch.
And it's just like a raging river.
So you never get a thermal layer.
So the thing that happens in the cold plunge is like a minute in, your body
develops sort of a thermal layer.
And it actually is more tolerable after a minute than it is for the first
minute.
But not with that raging river.
When that shit's in there, like it's never tolerable.
You just sit there the whole three minutes just white knuckling it.
So it's harder.
How often are you doing the raging river part?
I do it without these guys.
Yeah.
I don't let these guys.
I'm trying not to get anybody to quit.
You know, today I was worried.
I was like, yeah, fucking kind of pushing them.
Because we added renegade rows today.
We added windmills.
I added a few things to the routine.
But the last two or three workouts, two workouts,
I've been finishing them with the rounds on the bag.
So you do this Tabata sprint.
So it's 20 seconds of just going out and then 10 seconds rest.
20 seconds, 10 seconds rest.
It's an amazing protocol for developing cardio.
Yeah.
Yeah.
No, it was amazing.
I'd never done that before.
And it was great.
You know what I also loved I noticed about the guys is after the workout was
done,
they're spent.
They're feeling good.
They're feeling great about themselves.
And I think pretty much all of them said, hey, we're doing this tomorrow, right?
Yeah.
It was good.
Because, you know, when that shit really kicks your ass, you don't ask that
question.
Well, if they wake up sore, who knows?
Because there's a few things that we did that are going to, their legs are
going to be sore
for sure.
For like the between the leg stuff and the windmill stuff.
But we'll do something different tomorrow.
So tomorrow I'll get them in here.
We'll do something different.
Keep them going.
Are you banging them out, like, would you say five times a week?
Whenever they want to come.
So like right now it's been three days a week.
But I'm like, if you guys want to go five days a week, we'll go five days a
week.
You let me know what you want to do.
And we'll do it.
And I just, I try to give them some stuff.
Like if you're on the road, just do the push-ups and the body weight routine.
Just try.
You don't have to do a hundred.
I do a hundred.
I do sets of 20.
Do sets of 10, five, whatever.
Just do it.
And just make sure that if you, so say if you do like 50 push-ups and 50 body
weight squats
one day, the next day try to make it 60.
Try to get to 60.
Try to eventually get to a hundred.
And if you have to do 10 sets of 10, that's pretty easy to do.
10 is not hard.
You know, and then that last one, you're like, and eventually you'll get to a
point where you
could do sets of 20.
And it's just, it's easy.
It's not that hard to do.
You like, when I do 20, at the end of 20, I could do way more, but I just relax.
And then I do the body weight squats.
And if you keep doing it, it just conditions your body to be able to do that
all the time.
Yeah, absolutely.
And it's a great warmup, 15 minutes and you're sweating.
That's right.
Yeah.
So we started off with that and then you go right into all the other stuff.
So while that body's already heated up, you're ready to rock.
And ready to go.
Yeah.
And also too, I feel like if you, especially for guys like that who are just
getting into
it and dipping their toes into it, feeling good, they know they have to do it.
Yeah.
If they're going to add some years to their life, right?
And take care of their families.
But also it was cool that you realize that as these guys are doing it, they're,
they're
not, again, they're not giving up.
But also you could see it kind of computing in their head, like, okay, two
steps forward,
maybe one little step back.
You had the math and you do that every day.
You're far down that road.
You're far down that road.
And that's what I keep telling them.
I said, this is just a thing where you got to not slide off because the slide
off is
the hardest part.
Like the discipline is very hard, but the slide off, it's so hard to avoid the
slide off wh
