https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2z6QlQcSznU

[00:00] If you're anything like me, you stopped listening to health podcast years ago.
[00:03] You threw your supplements in the garbage and you started realizing there's no reason to pay for anything because training daily is the only vitamin you actually need.
[00:12] You can miss me with all the wearables and I don't need some green juice that's going to make me more athletic.
[00:17] Here's the five strength side rules that we live by that develops that Greek god statuesque body.
[00:22] Number one, focus on building some muscle without getting too obsessed with it.
[00:26] Bodybuilders way too obsessed with it.
[00:28] But then in functional crowds, muscle is almost a dirty word.
[00:30] Like, oh, you're too vain and you're not focused on your fascia lines.
[00:33] The truth is that muscle's cool.
[00:35] It makes you look better, but it also leads to higher metabolism, increased bone and joint strength, and even better blood sugar control.
[00:42] But we're all smart enough to see that dudes who become too muscle bound are going to have issues later in life.
[00:48] It's a piece of the pie, not the whole thing.
[00:50] You've probably heard this before, but I'm going to say it anyways.
[00:51] Focus on the compound lifts.
[00:53] Do a squat and a hinge for your lower body.
[00:55] Do a push and a pull for your upper body.
[00:58] Focus on getting stronger over time.
[00:58] And throw in
[01:00] A couple sets of bicep curls.
[01:02] Do that around three times per week.
[01:04] You're going to have a muscular body, but not be muscle bound.
[01:06] Number two, do something that resembles sport or athleticism.
[01:10] We're talking about a Greek god body, and the Greeks famously invented the Olympics.
[01:13] A lot of those ancient Olympic events revolved around sprinting, jumping, and fighting.
[01:17] Form follows function.
[01:19] So, if you build a body that can do a lot of things, you're going to look athletic.
[01:23] You're going to look lean.
[01:24] You're going to look capable.
[01:26] Many people throw in the towel on athletic endeavors for machines and dumbbells.
[01:30] But remember when you were a kid, you could care less about dumbbells.
[01:31] You wanted to play.
[01:33] You wanted to explore what your body could do through sports, yes, but probably more madeup games with your friends.
[01:38] You don't have to be a fighter to throw some kicks.
[01:40] You don't have to be a track athlete to do some sprints.
[01:42] This is when you build that aesthetic body as a side effect to focusing on fine-tuning your human capabilities.
[01:47] Number three, place high value into mobility.
[01:50] Now, I'm not talking about doing loads of stretching, although that is helpful.
[01:54] I'm talking about using mobility as a road map for the exercises you choose to do.
[01:58] See,
[02:02] many people become extremely strong without sacrificing on mobility.
[02:04] They're called Olympic lifters, gymnasts, martial artists, heck, even bodybuilders who put an emphasis on full range of motion.
[02:12] Trust me, when you take back your restrictions, you'll want to move more.
[02:15] You'll move more athletically, more natural, and a large variety of movement, which leads to having more control of your body.
[02:21] I can put it really simple.
[02:22] When it feels good to move, you'll move more.
[02:25] When you move more, you'll start unlocking new ranges of motion, new skills, new attributes.
[02:29] Your movement can become more playful, more explorative without the risk of injury.
[02:33] In a bit of a roundabout way, mobility becomes this gateway to a more aesthetic body by allowing you to do more at a higher level.
[02:39] Number four, you got to be intentional about your nutrition.
[02:42] For me, becoming a zealot for a specific diet just does not make sense.
[02:45] As humans, we're meant to eat a wide variety of food.
[02:49] Labeling yourself as carnivore, keto, or vegan just isn't sustainable long term, and it's most likely not very optimal for the human body either.
[02:57] What is optimal to me is finding a way to eat well for a full
[03:02] year, 5 years, 10 years.
[03:05] This means habits and routines become very important.
[03:07] You want to know a little trick to make yourself eat healthier?
[03:09] Write down your dinners for each day of the week.
[03:12] You'll be surprised at how a little bit of planning can keep you on track rather than caving to eating some junk when you get busy.
[03:16] One more little trick, meal prep.
[03:18] We got to set ourselves up for those worst case scenarios.
[03:21] When you're feeling busy, stressed.
[03:23] If you have something in the fridge ready to go, you'll make that decision much easier.
[03:26] My buddy Brian Puit calls this cook once, eat three times.
[03:30] You're already cooking, you might as well make some extra for the next day.
[03:33] Be the guy who eats cold leftovers rather than hitting the drive-thru.
[03:38] Last rule, maybe most important, go outside often.
[03:40] We're living in a society that's trying to make you a consumer.
[03:43] Sit on the couch, hit the vape, scroll through Instagram, get some Postmates.
[03:45] Guys, we got to become the creators.
[03:48] Live with intention.
[03:49] And that happens outside where things become more expansive.
[03:53] Touch the grass, see the horizon, feel the sun on your skin.
[03:55] It's really hard to get in phenomenal shape when you're stressed, depressed, and not feeling motivated.
[03:59] Nature has this way of making
[04:03] us feel connected to the mystery of life.
[04:05] When things are flowing and feeling good, you make the healthy decisions.
[04:08] It becomes far easier to follow these five rules for getting in badass shape.
[04:12] If you follow these rules, I guarantee that you'll have a complete transformation in just 90 days.
[04:15] Do it for a full year, you'll be unrecognizable.
[04:17] The movement I'm doing in this video hits a lot of the rules.
[04:20] It's athletic, mobility focused.
[04:22] Some are more strength oriented, and I typically do it outside a couple times a week.
[04:27] This isn't the way that you need to move by any means, but for me, it's very enjoyable.
[04:31] I can teach you how to develop your own natural movement practice.
[04:32] It's called the human animal method, and I got a 25% off code below in the pin comment.
[04:38] I want to hear from you guys.
[04:39] What's rule number six that needs to be added?
[04:41] We're going to send the human animal method for free to the top comment below.
