Today's Quotes:
Josh Quote:
“You cannot dream yourself into a character; you must hammer and forge yourself one.” ―Henry David Thoreau
Kyle quote:
"So much of what self love has become on social media is just to love yourself exactly as you are no matter what. You always need to love yourself! Part of legitimately loving yourself is being objective enough and honest enough to know that you are not going to be perfect, you are not as good as you could be, and you have so much more potential."
Todays questions:
- Hey man, love your mailbox Mondays. Here is my question, why is sumo deadlift getting bad rep in the lifting community whereas conventional is supposed to be the proper way? Aren’t both good to build strength and based on the persons flexibility and reach?
- At what point am I damaging my metabolism dieting?
- Advice for overcoming self doubt regarding fitness and the journey?
- How to know the difference between extra skin and fat?

| 0:07.0 | KG in the Hizze! That's pretty good today. So first and foremost, a few people brought it to our attention that the audio wasn't as crisp a couple episodes ago. We just had some renovations kind of going on. So we had to film it in the car old |
| 0:22.0 | school. But we should be back to amazing audio quality. So I just wanted to get that little point out there. And we got a really thoughtful email about sound quality and everything. And that means a lot. So thanks to everyone on the lookout. Yeah. What's going on everyone? I'm pumped. I'm ready. Kyle's fired up. |
| 0:37.0 | Let's do this. |
| 0:37.6 | We got coffee. |
| 0:38.2 | If you don't have a coffee, then pour yourself one or go to Starbucks. And let's get ready to it. Double shot of espresso. That's it. Oh, and I just want to give a special shout out to all of you, the listeners, because we've had so many thoughtful Instagram messages lately. |
| 0:54.6 | It's been crazy. Like, just about how much people have enjoyed the podcast and even some of the |
| 1:00.0 | reviews people have left have just meant so much. Because it's, you know, when we started this, |
| 1:06.1 | me and Kyle were so unsure whether it would be worth it at all. If anyone would even listen or how |

| 1:11.2 | So, you know, seeing that people are enjoying it and binging it and like getting like, you know, a whole over the month finishing every single episode is freaking amazing. So a big shout out to every single one of you right now. Yeah, we look. I can't even keep up with all these messages. Josh has been taken care of them, but I mean, every time I go on there, it brings a smile to my face and not even being silly. It's just, it's kind of why we continue, right? Like, there's a lot of things we could do in the given day to progress and, and keep building our business. But, you know, when it comes down to creating the content, it's the messages we get from you guys that fuels us to keep going. |
| 1:45.4 | So yeah. |

| 1:50.7 | We might, you know, question. |
| 1:52.4 | We're going to see if we can film three episodes first, but we might get a little vlog series out on the YouTube for a little event, a little competition we have coming up. |
| 2:00.0 | Yep. |
| 2:00.5 | So there's some big, big fun content creation in the works. Anyways, a little random. There's our housekeeping. Yeah, housekeeping. We got to get it done. Let's jump right into it. Give me a quote. All right. So here's my quote. It's going to be a bit of a longer one. So Josh, the other day, was talking about self-love, right? So this is a huge thing, |
| 2:18.4 | especially on Instagram, social media. It's what most people talk about. Now, I came across, I'm going to give him a shout out obviously because, you know, it's his quote and his, his thing that he was saying. Jordan Siyat, I believe it's Siat fitness.
