JRE MMA Show #32 with Firas Zahabi

three two one boom i don't want to start off like this is a commercial dude but
this
fucking thing you have this tim tam thing this is incredible it's sick huh i've
never i've seen
some of these different ones online people using them thera things you know i
know what they call
them uh theragon i think but this fucking thing is amazing this is the most
powerful one it has the
the highest travel and it's the the best price so i mean it's got all the
different ones of these
things online yeah this is the best one so what this is folks we took the
battery out i'll pop the
battery back in real quick i'll pop it in real quick go for it that's how
impressed i am by this
thing so i've had this nagging muscle in my hip and then like instantaneously
this fucking thing you hold it folks and you get it like right on a spot for me
it's like right here
i go and it just loosens that motherfucker up like this is so much more
powerful than any of those
massagers that you get like from a store exactly no there's no massager more
powerful than this one
on the market like this is not for mom and dad you know this is for the guy
doing uh you know playing
soccer football mma crossfit like that's for the hardcore athletes and you
invented this i i started
the company i started the company i bought one of those dms i don't know if you
ever heard of those
it's called deep muscle stimulator it's kind of talking about that before and i
said save this save
this yeah yeah exactly so what is that it's the deep muscle stimulator it's
like a stainless steel
high-powered massager that you have to plug in it cost me three grand i bought
it it had a really
bad sadica for two years like i almost stopped training like i almost had to
take a like i've
got a problem with that right now really sadica okay this is going to help you
out big time comes
and goes big time because i had i mean i was i was so bad i couldn't sleep like
i could not sleep
because i was just yours go all the way i get mine in my calf sometimes really
no i'm lucky it goes all
the way down to the calf for some weird reason me went down to the hamstring
and it stopped there
like i i was able to stop the problem there but they say you can go all the way
down to the
calf that's that's getting bad yeah i'm gonna get my calf right now so i bought
that dms there it is
you know that's dms great machine great machine but it overheats it costs three
grand and what does
that that piston do does it hammer you yeah it hammers you it has just like
this yeah but it has a
lesser travel this one has a greater travel so that one the dms is a little bit
too vibration it's not
as much travel it's not as much percussion percussion is what you're looking
for and uh so when uh i got
together with the company from the u.s disrupt we put together the the timtom.tech
company
we went uh to china we checked out a hundred different type of guns we got this
one going this
was the best one and uh this fucking thing's incredible it's incredible i hate
to sound like
this is like you paid me to do an endorsement he didn't folks this is this
fucking thing you should
sell these should be flying off the charts they shouldn't even need drones they
should just be
flying themselves seriously you know what the thing was a deep muscle stimulator
is we have to share it
in the gym this is you buy your own personal gun you know and because the deep
muscle stimulator it's
three thousand bucks you know to lend it out or how much is one of these four
it's four hundred bucks
five year warranty that's a fucking bargain it's a bargain anybody who trains
really hard yeah that's a
bargain it's a massage for life it's your health you know that's nice man it's
like a sawzall
exactly it's like you took a sawzall and you put like a a little rubber ball on
the end of it it's
like we tried so many other type of machines but they're all overheat weak you
know they're not
efficient the most efficient has already been created so we just retooled it we
just rechanged
it we made it so that it's uh you can use it on the human body there's some
modifications made but
that's it i mean it's pretty simple it's it's the most efficient type of design
they have yeah it's
kind of it's really hard to find someone who can massage you correctly it's
very hard to find someone
as good exactly someone who could really break up the tissue but even if you do
like what this thing
can do this thing is like vibrating you and shaking everything loose and i have
a i have a cone tip i
gotta send you it goes even deeper so if you can handle deep tissue i'm gonna
send you a bunch of
them okay yeah you're gonna love it we have also cold tip hot tip it's uh so
you freeze them uh you
can freeze them because that helps kill the pain so if you have an acute acute
injury like or and
after like a week or two and you want to start working on it the the cold of
the tip helps numb
the pain it helps manage pain a little more and the hot tip helps loosen up the
muscle a little further
i mostly use the cone tip the cone tips for those who have you know your
experience with massage
you're you're able to go deep tissue and uh for some people it hurts for me it's
it's it's perfect
yeah so you find like where the scar tissue is exactly you can break it up
exactly the surface
area on the cone tip is obviously smaller so it goes even in deeper and and uh
and unlocks that
muscle real quick so for me i don't have the time for foam rolling you know
that's the the main reason
why i i wanted a product like this because foam rolling takes forever to break
to really loosen up a
muscle and i'm in the gym all day do i want to stay you know in the gym another
hour rolling up and
down on a foam roller i think you got to do something though right yeah exactly
you kind of have to do
something if you're training hard and you want to train for life do you use
those uh well we don't
have one in the room but you use those um what do they call it supernova yeah
like a lacrosse ball
balls yeah but it's larger yeah it's like a it's like a big blue one i love
that thing it's rogue makes
it that gets in there but this is even better than that this is this thing is
incredible man i like the
ball for uh my back when i do my back i feel i can lie down on it i can get the
pressure i want but when i use
when i do my legs i use the tim tam yeah when i go on the road i bring that
ball with me and i'll put
it on the ground in a hotel room and i bridge on it and i just like hit like
certain spots and it's
amazing pop everything loose yeah you need a lot of body weight sometimes i put
a kettlebell on my
chest and you get even deeper and uh you could really unlock a muscle like this
i mean you could
really get in there and really unlock it for people who train they know you
know when you get that nagging
tight muscle in your neck and your shoulder your shoulder blades yeah and then
you're on the mat you
do a quick movement you know yes that's scary dude i did it once in the shower
i had something going
on in my neck i guess and i didn't realize how bad it was and i turned in the
shower to get something
and it popped and then for like days i was locked up i've had that done also
but it's it's all about
keeping the muscles loose yeah good posture you know kelly start wrote a book
you had him on on this show
yeah he's really amazing guy he's great he really changed my life honestly i'm
telling you reading
his book supple leopard i know all my all everybody who knows me follows me
they know i always talk about
this book you know he said something so important he said look it comes down to
two things good
alignment and loose muscles you got to keep your body aligned and loose muscles
and i just followed
those two principles i mean his book is really really excellent and um when i
saw his when i read his
book that's when i i reached out to him to work with george because i don't
know if you've ever seen
when george does a backflip and he lands his knees always kind of come in
together if you ever see
like watch him do a backflip that's called i was reading his book and i saw
that's the vulgus fault
he calls that the vulgus fault when you're when you do a squat and your knees
come close to one
another and he's like that can cause acl tears and i'm like i know a guy with
two acl tears and he
does that all the time i see him do that all the time it's something i've
always noticed about george
his knees always bow in when we do lifts when we do jumps when we do hurdles i
mean i've watched george jump
up and down literally thousands of times and i saw his knees bow in all the
time and he's like
well then i reached out to him i said hey could you help me correct george's
there it is that's
the vulgus fault and he's like sure and ever since then george's knees have
been a lot better and we
still use you to fix it well what he does it's a technical skill it's a skill
so he does he has a
few different exercises to help you correct it so you put a banner on your
knees and you kind of push out
on the band but really what we do is we'll make george do a lift or a jump film
it send it to kelly
and he'll tell us how aligned we are and what directions to go so he kind of
coaches us on how
to avoid this fault however really at the end of the day it's about keeping
your knees turned to the
outside i used to walk up the stairs and have knees in my pain in my knee you
ever have that when you walk
upstairs no i used to have pain in my knee walking up the stairs and i was from
stairs just from walking
upstairs and i didn't know why and then i read his book and he's like look when
you walk up a step
you got to keep your toes straight and turn your knee out i was like really and
i started doing that
my pain was gone immediately keep your toes straight straight like toes and
turn your knee out turn your
knee to the outside so he says look this is your this is your acl see this here
this is your acl cross
your acl right okay that's the acl you put it in your kneecap okay that's your
knee when you turn your
knee to the outside look it tightens it up okay that takes away all the slack
so what happens when
you're going up the when you're going up the stairs your your your your acl is
just jiggling around
and getting sheared but when you tighten it up you go up you're secured so he
calls it creating torque
he's a brilliant book man he's a brilliant guy so even when you run hills you
should do that absolutely
you should always be aligned whenever your body's under pressure or stress
whether you're wrestling or
whatnot you should always have torque so like look grab your shirt like this
okay grab your shirt okay
he gives an example in the book excellent example so now grab the the shirt and
twist it here create
torque now look you have a much more uh a stable grip you know judica is always
going to grab the
lapels and twist them right so when you grab the bar let's say you're going to
do a bench press maybe
you know it's not the best exercise or not but the principles still at work
when you grab the bar you
should be torquing the bar almost when you're doing push-ups your hands are on
the mat and you're
torquing even though your hands are not turning literally you're just torquing
right when you do
that you feel that all the slack is eaten up there's no more slack there's no
more uh uh trampoline
effect you know there's no more jiggling everything's tight the system is tight
and it's very very
important that the system be tight and that the weight be on the muscles so if
you're properly aligned
when you're doing a maneuver the weight is on the bone not on the tendons so if
you put your put your
weight like this on your fingers you'll see that the bone is carrying right if
you bend if you bend
your bones here look if you're on a line and you start putting pressure now you
see your muscles are
starting to work overtime right so when i'm carrying weight i need to i need to
have it on my bones and or
my muscles nev
