A Day in the Life of Josh Bridges | Paying the Man Ep.001

[@Jsige5875]

Mr. Bridges. After hearing your story over a year ago, I got inspired, buckled down, and joined a gym. I learned and struggled but I'm down almost a hundred pounds and I am stronger then I have ever been before. You were my inspiration. Thanks for being a badass role model. Pay the man

[@JoshBridges]

Josh Sige it’s awesome to hear about stories like this! Great job man, appreciate the support

[@johnmason8372]

I am far from a expert but in my opinion the reason you are happy after being in the cold water is probably because you are no longer in the cold water.

[@JoshBridges]

John Mason haha probably part of it

[@ryant5195]

@@JoshBridges is that a freezer? lol cuz i need one if it is. Only have a big black tub and in the south, it takes a lot of ice to get the tub cold with warm hose water. Thanks!

[@dylandavies2635]

Cold water immersion affects neurochemistry. Cold water is a stressor that decreases core body temperature which induces a cold shock response in the sympathetic nervous system. Norepinephrine and noradrenaline production increases in response to the stressor, and those contribute to increased focus, attention and alertness. Additionally, beta endorphins are produced to cope with the pain of the stressor. When the stressor is later removed (by stepping out of the ice bath), this beta endorphin production inhibits the neurotransmitter GABA which allows for higher than usual levels of dopamine to be allowed in the reward pathway of the brain. These increased dopamine levels cause positive and pleasurable feelings. Therefore, cold water immersion makes you feel better than you would otherwise.

I’m so happy and proud of him for all him hard work his ups and downs he’s shared with everyone.. thank you for the inspiration.. and lifting the vibration higher.. 🙏

[@tigerjohns0n]

Fucking bad ass. This is the in depth view into Josh Bridges world I’ve always wanted. I do hope you have an episode that talks at length about your garage gym, what it took you to set all that up, what you consider essential, etc. love it all, can’t wait to see more.

[@chad12davis]

Finally Josh!!! My favorite Good Dude! So glad you’ve started KZbin. Can’t wait for the next one.

[@millerfamilyfitness84]

Can’t wait for more! Glad you’re doing this. Only problem I had was I had to crank up the volume to hear you talk and then turn it way down when the music played.

[@TeamRICHEY]

Epic video bro, welcome to the tube! That mini skate ramp, I wanna see some rock-indies

[@Jenny-qn1ce]

So happy to see my favorite CF Athlete letting us in on his life. Keep pushing Josh, you give me hope as I hit the big 36 this year. Although I must admit, would love to see you rock some silkies in some of these videos. Daisy dukes of freedom...Much love from Okinawa!

[@worldwideachievers1234]

Your definitely a role model buddy. Navy Seal, Crossfit Games competition multiple times, family man and just down to earth. People can relate and keep being you man. Awesome vid

[@snipertsx]

Hey Josh, respect from Houston, TX! I started CrossFit this year at 52 seeking a new life of physical strength along with sharpening my mind to persevere in all situations. One thing I hate in the south is the cold but I’m embracing my demon and soaking in the cold water every morning to rock out my immune system. Also, much respect to your time in SEALs. Thank you for your service from a U.S. Army veteran newly subbed to your channel.

[@ryangillespie3377]

Glad to hear we are going to be seeing much more of you on KZbin. You're such an inspiration and motivation to watch. Keep the vids coming!

After seeing multiple CF games and documentaries and seeing you go total beastmode i've let myself be persuaded that Crossfit isn't just for the youngsters and started myself 2 months ago. Keep inspiring people, and hope to see so much more of you!

[@dustinsuntheimer8101]

Always been my favorite Xfit athlete- pure, genuine, and a total badass. I am excited for the videos and have all alerts set. Heal up, Josh, and enjoy that time with the kids- it never comes back to you. Keep up the good fight, man. Peace.

[@andrewmccray3267]

[@joshservo78]

Awesome, awesome video! So glad you are making them finally! Can you try and balance out the volume in the video please? When music played it was CRAZY loud, then when you were talking it would get way too quiet. Otherwise, killer video!

[@jylessino92]

Josh Bridges. Honestly my top Crossfit idol of 2018. You actually topped Rich in my book. But still you're really one Good Dude and I'm hoping to use your way of life as a way to improve myself in Crossfit or life in general.

[@jaclynrobertson6727]

So glad to see this! Your personality really made the crossfit "behind the scenes" videos. Joking laughing but a serious competitor!so excited to watch these evolutions!

[@pauloeduinfa]

Josh !! My name is Paulo and I live in Brazil! I started practicing CrossFitt 8 months ago. I have followed your videos and your participation in the competitions. Congratulations on your style of doing CrossFitt, with great simplicity and humility always.

[@woodlock4198]

Awesome video Josh. Can’t wait for more. And now we have to see you walk out onto the competition floor to ‘When the levee breaks’

[@XtOAlpha]

First... thank you for your service... MUCH appreciated. And thank you for taking the time to do videos. I'm 2 months in with crossfit and I'm obsessed! Especially paying attention to your videos on a positive mindset. Love the kitchen Love the dog & Love the Hank Williams jam at about 12min 30 sec. Keep it up. 💪

Yes Josh, my favourite crossfitter all time! Enjoyed episode one and can't wait for the next! I have a shoulder injury and have been out for 3 months, really let myself go too - thanks for providing the inspiration today to continue to work on myself and pull it together! Awesome dude .... mashed potatooooo!! ;)

[@Steve-ks5bh]

Looking forward to watching more videos on your channel. Great Job!

[@OneSingleBreath]

First of all; thank you for starting a channel. This, first, Video has a top notch quality. In every aspect. Filming, insight in your daily routine as well as the Training. All your pics of the cold water inspired me a few weeks ago to start ending every shower with the water running as cold as possible, as long as I can stand it. I hate it. But I do it every single time. So,.. thank you. Primary reason was to boost my immune system. But, a few days ago, I realised, how much it means mentally. I know, that you are aware of what you‘re doing. But are you always benching without a spotter or in a Rack? All the best from Germany.

[@charlescanning7918]

Super excited to see you starting a KZbin channel. Only suggestion is to tweak the volumes. We watch when the kids are asleep and had to turn it up so much to hear the dialogue that once the music started, it was way too loud. Looking forward to more videos!

Up to a great start Josh! I have been a fan of your story since the podium in 2011. It will be great if you can talk about nutrition, recovery, garage gym equipment essentials (I want to build one in my house). That will be cool. Good luck with your surgery!

[@bretters]

Enjoyed the video. Your home gym setup makes me envious. I also like how your dog is just like mine and lays around watching work get done.

[@danwright3617]

Great introductory video! I would love to see more videos on making improvements to your fitness while dealing with existing (and permanent in some cases) injuries. I have multiple skeletal and neurological injuries sustained from combat and have been overcoming a lot of them with CrossFit. I am always looking to get better and any input is useful.

[@lauragonzalez1199]

This was awesome .....loved seeing a bit into your life and training can't wait to see the new vid.

[@milsdobaggins]

I read a few places that cold water baths and showers spike dopamine like hundreds of percents! That is probably why you're in such a good mood after. I started doing it in the morning awhile ago. It's awesome and gets me all jacked up for the day. Well worth the righteous shrinkage it causes. Good luck in the 2019 season!
