  1. “Thank you, Jim. My company's called Strong First. Strong first.com is the website, and we are about changing lives, making the world a stronger place through strength. So we teach various skills through courses, certifications, and so on. So just please stop by at strongfirst.com. And I also recommend GPKP a copy of my book, Kettlebell Simple and Sinister. And I can assure you that this book definitely fits with the spirit of this conversation. There's absolutely nothing fluff, no fluff there whatsoever.”

  2. “Well, I think also you need to teach people around us to understand that not to overcommunicate. It's, again, it's an interesting modern phenomenon that it's play by play. Everything has to be play-by-play. It's like, you know, kids in a car. Are we there yet? Are we there yet? No. We're driving. We're en route. And no.”

  3. “Professionally, I use the same technique that you use for voting. I remember that you mentioned that you don't like following the current affairs before you vote. You just talk to a number of people whose opinion you respect and who vote the way, who believe the way you do. So I do the same thing in training pretty much. So when I do and I do research, most of my time is spent reading the classic Soviet text and studies. And once in a while, I rise up my periscope and I'll talk to several people I respect in the industry and ask, what's going on? What's new? And they will just brief me on that. Most of the time, frankly, nothing's going on. This is an example of my technique. I am very ruthless about I am very protective of my time to write. I'm very protective of my time to read.”

  4. “I'll say the founding fathers, Ben Franklin, definitely. There are so many great people in American history that are worth emulating. There's the great generation of the World War II. These were the quiet people who just went and got the job done and didn't whine and complain about the lack of opportunities and life is hard and we're having it so tough. And just even people who are just friend named Stony, Stony was a marine Vietnam, and just Stoney is just such a great person who is such a positive outlook in life. He just is a true American. You will not hear him complain. He thinks that America is about great things. And that's what, seriously this is what disappoints me as a naturalized American, because I think America is so much bigger, so much better than it has been. So just look back into it as before.”

  5. “Other plays. So even people who go out and start criticizing America that usually it happens because of envy, that's really all it is. So maybe Let's just go back to the older times, maybe some of them didn't even exist, the Old West, whatever it is, where just people had the pride in being pioneers, the pride in just getting ahead, or let's even look, Tim, let's even look in the 50s or 60s. Like to Where do the brightest young people, what did they end up doing? They end up designing apps, right? In the 50s and 60s, they designed spaceships. So, the dreams were just so much bigger, and right now, oh, here's this hot new app, ooh, golly gee, Martha. So let's just try to go back to what made this country great, to a grand vision, and not just little petty little app stuff.”

  7. “I'm a big admirer of the free enterprise system. Unfortunately, as much as that's worked in so many fields and industries, it's completely failed in the exercise industry, in fitness industry, because it's constantly chasing its tail with the novelty, the new, the best, whatever, and it's a fad that just goes away again. But the simple fact is certain things just do not change. What I think also, I think Americans could really learn is they could learn from themselves, they could learn from the past. I have a great idealized image of America that I did when I was growing up. And that came from my favorite film is The Magnificent Seven.”

  8. “Choices are difficult. And in fact, you will find out that a number of Eastern Europeans who have failed to assimilate, who failed to make the life in America are the ones who just have a hard time making choices. They're used for a lot of choices being made for them. And there is obvious downside to that in terms of freedom. There is obviously an upside of it because there are fewer distractions. So you personally, not you, Tim, but the listeners, you need to figure out how to limit your choices, then make these choices and stick to them. The Konstanov and the Klokov and these other Russian athletes you mentioned, these guys do not train with three hundred sixty degree butt squeezing Scot Curl Bench that you see in the typical gym. These guys have the basics and they just hammer just absolutely hammer on the basics.”

  9. “It's a very good book. I enjoyed the book very much, and I think that is very true. When there are so many choices to exercise, these choices are difficult. It takes a lot of processing power. There's a great moment in film, Moscow and the Hudson, an old film with Robin Williams.”

  10. “I really would like to see for Russia to learn about free enterprise, about fair competition, about freedom. And unfortunately, the things they're learning are not. These are like reality to me. That's what they're learning. And that's not unique to Russia. That's pretty universal around the world for some reason. Instead of getting the best from America, people are just sort of getting the Las Vegas version. Americ And what people can learn, what Americans can learn, is they can learn to limit their choices. You mentioned earlier the paradox of choice. Is it Barish Wartz book, right?”

  11. “Okay, well, first of all, I'm speaking about the Soviet culture. I'm not talking about the current culture, the post-Soviet culture, because unfortunately this is my observation that oftentimes when different countries learn something from America, they choose to learn not the things that are worth learning.”

  12. “Training is just like a budget, budget for a person who has a regular paycheck. So you have to decide, am I going to buy a couch or am I going to go on vacation? Am I going to get in debt and do both? Am I going to buy really good couch and not go on vacation or buy a cheap couch and take a short vacation? Do you see my point? So there are a lot of choices, a lot of trade-offs, and these trade-offs have to do with both your time, but also with the capacity of your endocrine system. Your endocrine system can only handle so much training And all these different types of training are added up, and plus also the stresses of your life and so on. So whenever you're deciding on what it is that you do for your exercise, you have to identify really what's important, stripped and unessential, and make compromises and sacrifices somewhere.”

It's one of those amazing all-around one-stop shop exercises. And some food for thought for people in general when you think about training. Earlier we talked about various trade-offs, what to do in the program is”

  14. “You know, there are various methods. Some of them attempt for you to bring the attention to a very, very high level, gradually still, very gradually, but very to a high level to the point where the muscle literally shuts down, something called a Golgi tendon, organ just fires, both just goes. That's an advanced technique takes a lot of practice. You can go or you can just go for a very steady tension of about 30% and just try to stay there for pretty much as long as you can handle it. Just the important thing is that the tension doesn't diminish, you know, whatever, when you feel like the tension is about to diminish, whatever level that you've chosen, then you just release. And then you pry a little farther, pry a little farther.”

  15. “Here's how this works in a nutshell. Imagine that you are, let's say that you're stretched out far and it feels like I cannot go any farther. The muscle cannot get any tighter, then you slowly contract that muscle. Slowly it's important for safety. And you build up the tension and you hold that tension for a while and then you release that tension. The important thing is, again, release. And when you have released, you'll see this contrast. So in a way, you kind of climb from the fire into the frying pan. It's still hot, but not as hot. And you can eke out just a little bit more range of motion. So these isometric contractions can be added to any type of stretching. And the idea, the very important thing about them is you need to make them steady. Do not make them jerky in any way. The only thing about them that's sudden is that release. Otherwise, steady, steady, steady.”

  16. “You have to be patient. Flexibility training is not something you should ever do when you're in a hurry for some appointment. It's something you should save for the end of the day. Let's say you're watching some TV show just to go on stretch or you're reading a book. One of my colleagues, doctor Mark Chang, a strong first senior instructor, he has this beautiful side splits, the way he worked up to his side split is he would just sit and read a book in a straddle on the ground. And then at some point whenever he felt like he could, he just tried to spread his legs a little wider. And that's it. You go back to reading his book. So you see, acquiring flexibility, it's an exercise in patience. So if you do not have the patience or if you do not have the time, I suggest you just give up.”

  17. “About 30, 40 minutes, but even if you don't, well, there are ways of doing it faster, Tim, but that involves isometric stretching, and that's a little bit more technically involved to talk about here in the show.”

  18. “You completely release the tension totally. If you do this, which is pretty much what most people do when they're trying to stretch, you're tightening up the muscles. You just have to completely let go. You have to be patient, and you have to spend, you have to spend good half an hour, forty minutes on this type of practice a day if you really are serious about reaching that level”

  19. “It's just the same thing. So you hold this dress for 30 seconds. But the fact is you're trying to wear out your stretch reflex. You're trying to link the muscle relax. And depending on your fiber composition, depending on your mental state, emotional state, training history, injury history, that can take different time. So just don't worry about it. So you just get in this position and you kind of apply a little bit for a while and then you just relax. And when you relax, you try to breathe through that tight spot. When I say breathe through, I'm saying just listen to my breathing.”

  20. “Focus on that particular joint. So you're just spreading it all around. And relaxation is the absolutely relaxation in patience are the two things that are absolutely fundamental if you're trying to get high level of flexibility, like a split. You say you'll get a recommendation. Let's say, oh, hold this stretch for and they'll give you some duration. 30 seconds or whatever. Like how did they arrive at that number? I have no idea. Just somebody decided, well, that sounds like a nice round number. Let's recommend that. But what you're trying to do”

  21. “Much. So, what you're trying to do is what you're trying to do is not just force your way in one direction, but you're trying to kind of apply it and loosen up in every direction possible. So let's say that you are resting on your forums and you're trying to get into this straddle. So you're first pushing your legs out, but then you're also kind of tilting your pelvis back and forth. Then you're going to try to kind of wiggle your butt side to side. Then you will try to turn your body one way. You're going to try to turn your body the other way. So pretty much what you're doing is you're taking advantage of the fact that your fascia that covers your muscles, it runs in all sorts of different directions, kind of like plywood. So you need to loosen it up in a lot of different ways. So if you keep going in different directions all around, you will progress to this goal so much faster. So you use strength, find space, and spread the load. And again, spreading the load just pretty much means that you are not just trying to.”

  22. “Back in the past, we had a house and we bought a house and there were some things in the back that I wanted to demolish. So I'm trying to pull out these concrete posts. So I tie an nylon rope to this post, attach it to a crowbar, get a nice strong sumodif position, I pull. Well, what happens is the nylon rope rips and I do a backflip into the pilot dirt because I'm very smart. I do this two more times. And then my wife, Julie walks by, she says, You know, you could just kind of wiggle it around pride. I said, that's right, honey. So the same thing is really with your flexibility. So let's use the example of the straddle. Let's say you're trying to get the straddle. Instead of simply trying to force yourself down, so...”

  24. “and spread the load. Use strength, find space, spread the load. So what does that mean exactly, Tim? Well, let's use an example of the squad. Using strength for the squat means pulling yourself down into the squat instead of just dropping yourself. Using example of the split, instead of trying to drop yourself down into the split, you're very actively pushing your feet out, like you're trying to spread the walls apart. So spreading the walls apart, that means you're using strength. Find space. So does finding space mean? Finding space mean just pretty much kind of a prying and moving your body into the position and trying to find more space in the joint and also try to loosen up the fascia, that sheet, that fibrous sheet around your muscles. It's a very good analogy would be trying to pull a post out of the ground.”

  25. “Godless quad the name by Den John. And it's a terrific type of a squat that's literally squat for the people. See, the problem with the squat exercise is most people don't know how to move well. They're tight, and you try to put a bar in their back, and they just cannot do that. So the goblet squat is kind of a squat for the people that then developed. And the prying that is added to that is something that really allows you to increase your mobility and flexibility. What you need to do when you're trying to get your flexibility increased, let's say that an mobility, let's pick any exercise that you're doing, any kind of a stretch that you're doing, whatever it is. So there are certain rules that you need to abide by. And I call these the 3S. So use your strength, find space.”

  26. “Kettlebell simple and sinister. That's my latest book. I give this protocol where there are just a couple of different exercises you do. One exercise you do is you just kind of move an exercise, move a weight around your head in a circle, a halo, loosen up your shoulders. Another exercise you do is a very particular type of squat, kind of a prying goblet squat. That's a terrific exercise. So you can do search online, prying, goblet squad.”

  27. “Amazo, academician, amoso of the famous Soviet scientist who was a kind of health guru, he would perform these movements every day. He would perform 100 squats every day and 100 other things. If you're not up for doing that, you just simply hold on to the doorway. So you just unload yourself partially. You shift your weight more to the heels to make it easier on your knees and you start squatting. And don't go to pain. Be very progressive. Go as deep as you can, eventually go deeper. Just do multiple sets. And the same thing is true really for pretty much for all the other joints, but obviously they have joints. That's a big one. And everybody needs, everybody needs this type of training. I like a very simple joint mobility protocol. Obviously, you can make this as complex as you want, seriously, and many people have. But in my book,”

  28. “So, I will periodically, you know, for a while, I kind of would not treat it too seriously, take some time, stretch very lightly, kind of keep maybe at 70%. And then I'll just make the push again and bring it back. And I always really enjoy that feeling of freedom. So it's a decision, though. But let's talk about this mobility and flexibility business. Let's talk about how people should proceed about it. Mobility, pretty much we're talking about the full range of motion in the joint when the length of the muscle is not an issue. So let's use an example of a full squat. So if you're in a full squat, you know, not a whole lot of muscles are preventing you from hitting that range of motion. So there may be a possibility that you need to just pretty much get your joint moving smoother. So what does that mean? Folks, it just literally...”

  29. “We'll deal with that. We'll get you there. You know, whether it's a worthwhile goal or not to pursue, yeah, obviously there's the obvious just because it is there. And there's no way of judge that kind of goal. Somebody climbs to the mountain, somebody learns to do a side split. Is that something that you need to do for your performance outside of several sports like taekwondo or gymnastics? No, you really don't. Is that going to improve your well-being? I do have to say that the sense of freedom that you have on your hips when you consistently can do a full split is really pretty awesome. To have that feeling of freedom in the hips, you can only know that freedom if you also have known what not to have it, if that makes any sense.”

  31. “Okay, well, first of all, let me tell you about the goal of the split, whether if you choose to achieve that. It's achievable. I will tell you a great success story. He's one of the strong first instructors, and he is truly a product of the system. The gentleman's name is Steve Freedys and is a music professor. He was severely injured, his lower back was herniated, very bad. He spent eight or nine months in bed and Ferkus said. It was very bad. And then he decided to become a man, decided to train seriously, for strength, for flexibility, trained like a real athlete after getting the proper medical clearance and so on, of course. So fast forward to today, Steve Freedys, who is fifty nine, if I'm not mistaken, he holds a number of American records for his age group in the deadlift, and he deadlifts without a belt.”

So what I'm doing right now is trying to bring this very sophisticated, very amazing system of training to regular people who just want to get stronger. So I am in this refinement phase.”

You have to turn the on for maximal flexibility and endurance. You have to turn it off. And for a lot of sports, it's the ability to turn it on and off, on and off, back and forth, back and forth, tension, relaxation. So I do like these extremes in my music.”

And I'm very flexible about it. And I also do let my books evolve. And sometimes they evolve in a very unpredictable manner. The Naked Warrior started out as a book for strengthening the field for the military. And then it evolved in a sort of a manifesto for reverse engineering the body language of the strong.

  43. “I think one is calm These people are calm because people who are hyper, they get so trapped in their reactive mode. They get too trapped in the everyday minutia of their work and their existence. So they just do not pause and they do not think. Again, Eric has a great quote from a Vietnam Aristial who says, calm is contagious, calm is contagious. So when the person is calm, then he or she has the time to meditate, reflect, set the priorities, and set the balance.”

  45. “Tim, I think the very big mistake is because they think, okay, I have picked up things from the floor. This looks so simple. It's not an Olympic lift. Therefore, it's very simple. So let's just start filing on plates and start training. The deadlift is a very technical lift. And even if you're just a recreational lifter, you owe it to yourself to learn to deadlift correctly. So that's as simple as that. So I think that's the primary mistake. And that mistake goes for every exercise that people do out there.”

  46. “If you were to choose one movement, Tim, yes, I would choose the deadlift or I would choose the calico swing. Obviously, the kettle swing is not something you can compete in and something, it's not going to give you the same satisfaction of lifting heavy weight. But those are the two main full body exercises. The full body expressions of power that will go such a long way for you for longevity, strength, just the quality of life.”

  47. “My father took up powerlifting at the age of seventy one. He's seventy seven today. He deadlifted four hundred thirteen pounds without a belt, and he set several American records in his age group. And over training for five years, so he put on 20 pounds of muscle. If you look at my father, if you look at him from back, you will think that this guy's got to be in his 40s. And he looks like a wrestler. He's just massive. And Stuma Gill, when he examined him, says he's never seen such muscular development of a 70-year-old. And he started when he was 71.”

  48. “And every day, as part of his training regimen, he does jump squats with 200 pounds, 90 kilos. So he goes rock bottom in the squat and jumps out. And that's a guy in his mid-80s. And in fact, he looks so good. Some journalists came to interview him and said, excuse me, sir, may we speak to your dad?”

  49. “Many of these guys, many of these guys who competed at a very high level in the 80s and the seventies are very healthy and doing extremely well. If you look at Gallagher himself, he's right now he's in his 60s. He's very strong, very spry, fully healthy, hikes in the woods every day. If you look at weightlifters, well, forget the 80s, let's go back a little farther. Rudolf Lukfelder, he was a Soviet German. He was Olympic champion in weightlifting at the age of thirty seven. And that's something that's never been replicated. Absolutely, it is incredible too. Today he's somewhere in his mid-80s.”
