- Would you count pain-inducing bodybuilding workouts 00:00:23.560 |
maybe not bodybuilding, but exercise, et cetera, et cetera. 00:00:48.000 |
He broke it up in the morning and the afternoon, 00:00:56.280 |
I think it was on Netflix, of Ronnie Coleman, 00:01:02.520 |
a huge guy, now his whole body's broken down. 00:01:19.280 |
So you're using different parts of your brain 00:01:21.440 |
than like your normal work or your other types of life. 00:01:23.840 |
And I think there's probably a clarity that comes to that. 00:01:28.000 |
they're like, this is a guy who knows about bodybuilding. 00:01:31.820 |
When you look at me, you think super athlete, 00:01:39.220 |
So I'm not surprised you asked me this question, 00:01:45.320 |
- Actually, I'm gonna ask you another question 00:01:55.600 |
and listening and stuff while they're lifting? 00:01:57.200 |
'Cause a lot of, like Arnold talks about like really 00:02:00.560 |
thinking about the muscle and like feeling it 00:02:07.560 |
So I was just wondering to know your thoughts on that. 00:02:43.920 |
'cause he was so disciplined, he could focus on that. 00:02:46.720 |
And I think that helped him when he was training. 00:02:58.120 |
But I don't know, I've kind of always thought 00:03:03.520 |
- I suspect, I'm just thinking about this out loud, 00:03:09.440 |
but you're giving full concentration to the contraction 00:03:21.600 |
on a regular basis as part of a fitness routine, 00:03:24.380 |
you're gonna be able to concentrate on a book better. 00:03:26.900 |
You're gonna be able to concentrate when you're walking 00:03:28.780 |
and trying to hold a thought in your head better. 00:03:35.620 |
not only does that count as high quality leisure, 00:03:38.280 |
doing serious weight training might actually be 00:03:40.880 |
a fantastic way of improving your general ability 00:03:50.480 |
that's different than the other type of thinking you do 00:03:52.360 |
so that you get that relaxation and anxiety reduction. 00:03:56.080 |
Look, I'm picking up my fitness this January as well. 00:03:59.840 |
