this is comedy gold, the impression was on point… and “you’re the weakest of the whole bunch, I wouldn’t even be able to look myself in the mirror” has me cracking up, no punches were being pulled on this day lol

I don't think Gordon Ryan is mentally weak, but look at all his health issues. Its so hard on your blood metrics, your cholesterol and triglycerides, thick blood causes kidney stress, water retention stresses most of the organs. My 2c is mental fortitude is a deep subject that is effected by both genetics and how you engage with the world (self discipline) etc... Liver King is a glaring walking insecurity and should not represent bodybuilders as a whole. A 12 week bodybuilding prep definitely requires insane discipline and mental fortitude, the dieting is absurd.

[@nitrox1613]

Gordon Ryan and Jon Jones are not mentally weak in terms of working hard and competition. However, they are very insecure because they respond to every hate comment on Instagram lmao

[@OrangeJuicePapi]

Yeah he’s on too much stuff. He’s not on just testostone. That’s fine to be on. but the extra stuff they don’t talk about is a problem

[@bin3skar237]

Hi Coach 🫡 when i did hyper extension a coach told me just do half reps to keep the spine straight. I told him it is light weight and it is good for the spine to bend and to go all the way up and down. But now im confused what is right? Even the neck curls should i go all the way down and up?

[@SS.LiuRyan]

more range of motion is usually better. plus be able to train your strength from a rounded back to a straight back is also important for fighting -mma fighter majoring in kinesiology

[@InternalPrimate06]

[@Keno313]

Idk if hypertrophy is as easy as you think. Jon jones took years off to bulk up and put on more fat than muscle.

[@olezhek008]

I think Jones didn't put so much muscle on purpose, because muscles require oxygen and would make him gas during fights. Jones is optimising octagon performance, not muscle mass.

[@Keno313]

@@olezhek008 nonsense, fat is even more trouble than muscle. Muscle at least makes you explosive and strong whereas fat just weighs you down. He knew his gas tank would go down a bit at heavyweight that's inevitable.

I know you've had reservations about CrossFit in the past, but I honestly think it's a great method of building up strength and stamina at the same time. I was thinking spar light when you train CrossFit hard, then ease off on the CrossFit when fight camp comes. I really like your method of training and conditioning fighters, and it's great maintenance for the CrossFit gains too. That's just a theory on my part, and I can't say I've tested it yet. Love to get your thoughts on that.

[@rustyray420]

Your theory is trash because crossfit is trash

[@justinwallace269]

@rustyray420 Yet it produces better athletes. What do you base that statement on? 🤔 Is this one of those "I didn't research but I just know because everyone else says so" statements?

[@rustyray420]

@justinwallace269 which world class athletes use crossfit and have attributed their athletic performance due to crossfit training? It's a shit thing, you can circuit train and program that better than doing shitty crossfit programming

[@justinwallace269]

@rustyray420 It's a sport unto itself. Just look at the performance levels of the top athletes. It speaks for itself. Rich Froning was a fucking beast in his prime. Take one look st that work in the CrossFit Open and tell me he couldn't fight if he wanted to. Insane stamina, impressive lifts performed at high speed and volume... The fitness level is through the roof.

[@EdwarkingOFitness]

​@justinwallace269 he couldn't because he doesn't train martial arts. His movement patterns and nervous system are not primed for combat. In fact i would argue that combat athletes who have/had bad conditioning could smoke him bad.

[@Jr-yx4cf]

I believe it does

Tell that to the rock and his Hollywood buddies

[@uaigneach34]

@@Whit3WolfXArcadia I wouldn't combine being mentally strong with luck, two separate things. The Rock is an anomaly. Majority of people on roids are basement dwelling, in massive debt with mental issues.

hello Coach! do you think somebody with a very high grip strength , would be able to submit somebody by just grabbing and squeezing e.g the wrist/arm?

[@b.f.skinner4383]

The '9 ancestral tenants' are good guidelines for getting jacked and living a healthy life. The problem is that Liver King's physique isn't a product of following those tenants, it's a product of steroids, therefore he doesn't value his own guidelines, so he's a hypocrite and a charlatan.

[@tomjaap2933]

I believe it is used to sell supplements to lazy people, he knows that people will not take the effort to actually go and cook liver or take in the sun so he just offers an easy option.

[@PicaPauDiablo1]

Coach, have yoy heard Wes Watsons meltdown and now hes offering his takes on fighting? Whew.

[@Toasty27]

isn't it more like the other way around? people start taking steroids because they are mentally weak to begin with and seek a short cut? spoken in hobbyist user terms ofc

[@liammullen2144]

Taking shortcuts doesn't make you stronger it makes you even more weak

[@OdinAesthetic]

I have never done steroids, so I cannot say. On a side note. Testosterone levels at an upper Normal healthy level.....are good for your mental health ABSOLUTELY 100%. Not hyper elevated levels, healthy upper Normal.

[@Vscustomprinting]

Would depend on the person.

[@Zachhatesyoutube]

As an endurance athlete for 30 years, I can tell you once you have endurance developed, it takes a long time for that to diminish, its also mostly mental. So once you have strong endurance confidence, stick to strength and speed training and you will see a continuous linear progression, whereas if you keep working endurance you will eventually see a linear degression.

if ur wrestling or like jiu jitsu i think its ok but when your punching or something with more blunt potential to the head then yes you cannot cheat i think the only way for everyone to enjoy is if you made ufc with no steroids/ufc with steroids and vice versa for all other orgs

Stop talking about steroid coach. The thing is so simple. If you want to be the best, you need to practice a lot. if you practice a lot = you need fuckin steroids. Or maybe idk something and you don't consider trt or small doses as a steroids 😜

[@meyr1992]

what is liver king practicing

[@Ktfone]

❤

[@LanceVanceDance2012]

say what you want about liver king but he was very inteligent to market his "primal" brand and make a very good living for himself. we may not agree with the principles and ethics of it but at the same time we live in a world and it is what it is. people want shortcuts and people are attracted to marketable terms like "primal, natural"etc. the ignorance of the masses enabled him. just like the way the ignorant masses enable a lot of things in the world. while mma, kickboxers get brain damage and struggle to make a living.. he made a massive fortune of over 100 million using marketing... you dont make that kind of money being stupid. unethical maybe. That said also steroids dont make somebody weak. A weak person using it as a short cut is weak. you can get somebody who is a hard worker who uses it on top of that. so saying steroids makes someone mentally weak is intellectually dishonest. Most great athletes and ufc fighters are on it. but it wasnt the steroids that made them great... they were great inside without it.

[@user-yl8gd4pp1n]

So you dont mind if someone lies to your grandmother to obtain money?

[@LanceVanceDance2012]

@@user-yl8gd4pp1n your making a false equivalence there. you proved my point, you just demonstrated most people cant logically think straight. I will have to dum-b this down to explain it to you. Most people who bought his stuff were not 'grandma'. that's not his target market. They were mentally sound and of a healthy age like yourself. its called marketing and it works on the masses. Its not just liver king, it even starts with common things like coca cola which is a toxic drink full of sugar. if you look at a coca cola advert it has cute polar bears on the north pole.. its not a cute drink, its unhealthy but thats the representation that is sold to the masses. but in reality millions of people are obese and diabetic because of it.
