at first I was a little bit nervous I didn't know how my body was gonna react
I had to put a positive mindset in and by doing that it takes away that doubt
you don't use shoes when you do cardio? no no no shoes 25 minutes I know a
lot of people will be I hate you for that but between my training and the way
nutritionally we play like a real that's a fine line on my calories where you
know I don't overeat to where I have to do a ton of cardio to try to compensate
for the more calories so that's one thing George does is feed me enough to
keep me full keep my energy up to the workouts but not over feed me where I
have to do two hours of cardio
know why I like being barefoot I'm not the kind of guy that walks
everywhere barefoot but when I'm home I walk outside you know be in the house
barefoot and I've kind of got that plantar fascitis were my arch of my
foot gets inflamed and it's actually very painful
to do cardio and walk and do stuff like that so doing it without shoes I have no
pain and I'm in my own house so I can do that and I keep my stuff clean so it's
not like there's a bunch of people sweat all over it and it's dirty so you know I get up
playing sports I grew up playing hockey football when I went into high school I
got in my football coach at the time had a great you know there's a new coach
into the school and they had a whole new program a weightlifting program and I
got into that and I was like man this is it became an addiction
started in the offseason with Gina Davis and we kind of put together a plan
she put me through some different training styles through the offseason to
kind of conditioned my body as we let in to prep all right so each set I do five
sets per exercise and I'll be doing ten seconds rest between each set so it's
very fast-paced and the only way to really know is I keep time on my phone
open up my timer hit start and then when I'm done with a set I just add 10
seconds to know hey 10 seconds he's about three or four breaths and then
it's time to rock and roll
ego check
Oh
my base was really built on heavy lifts it was kind of like power building if
you want to call it that where I did a lot of core type movements where it was
like deadlifts squat you know heavy heavy pressing stuff and that's kind of
where I'd built my core off of and then you know through the years what I've
noticed really helped change my body was a lot of the volume training and you
know I did that through with hawney and experimenting things with myself and
different training programs that kind of created was all volume based and I
noticed you know if you could chase that pump what everybody talks about but it's
getting the pump getting as much blood nutrients in the muscle and then feeding
it with the proper nutrition and proper supplements all those things work
together after you train before the prep from what I'm seeing from what I've
done before is that it's really kind of conditioning me on top of what the diet
and the cardio that I'm currently doing it's not just like I got to do more
cardio to get into shape and I'm not relying on cardio to get into shape it's
a combo of all three that's really working
same weight same weight I'm lifting at about 85% of what I could do if I took 3/4
minute rest periods between sets and one of my goals this year is really just
to bring a condition in to another level and see a different mature look on my
muscle and I think the way we're training right now is really tapping
into some muscle fibers and changing the shape of my muscle as I'm coming down
for the show and that's something I'm seeing and that the training style I
believe is what's helping you know
that's it
that's almost a 5 min set shit
