What is going on, everyone?

Welcome to Mailbox Monday.

I'm your host, Josh, here with my co-host. KG in the house, and this is the fit, healthy, and happy podcast, by the way. Yep, I'm here with my hostess, KG. Yeah, I'm the host, and I'm the man of the hour. Josh has a, you know, a little bit of sickness going on, so you might hear my voice a little bit more, which is fantastical, right? Yeah, Kyle's going to have to step it up today.

The throat's a little sore.

It's super weird and I honestly wonder

it's we tested our one rep maxes for our squat bench and deadlift at about a nine um RPE so pretty

high in the exertion scale when you're pulling one rep you know near maximum load it takes a real

tool in your central nervous system that's why a lot of people after a powerlifting meet end up quite sore you know, near maximum load. It takes a real tool in your central nervous system. That's

why a lot of people after a powerlifting meet end up quite sore, you know, they end up quite feeling it tired. And, you know, when your central nervous system is really exerted, that's when you can be more exposed to sicknesses. And when you're training a bunch of people and you're in a bunch of gyms, no matter how much I sanitize and wash my hands, I do not seem to be immune from it. But I'm going to do my best. And yeah, there's a little fun tidbit for you. It's funny. On Saturday we did our, check out our last YouTube video class is fitness, but we just did bench and squat. And I felt it for like over two days and just literally only did two exercises. But obviously you're working at like Josh said like up to literally

90 to 90 even 5% of your one rep max so it's really exhausting and yeah it was fun check it out

you know we've got a powerlifting meet um with a bunch of buddies in five weeks so you know we'll

keep you updated on how that goes and it's kind of fun because some of you may not even know

You know, how the podcast has helped or inspired you. It means so much to hear those things. Now we're going to get right into quotes here. So my quote is, great things never come from comfort zones. Do you love that or what? Man, I love that. But honestly, I realize I say I love that to every quote.

But honestly, anything that just has, you know, some type of meaning that I can relate to, I do actually love. And I think just, you know, the comfort zone. I mean, this is your quote. So I'm going to let you expand. That's it. And it boost my ego. That's what's important. Yeah, it makes me feel like I'm saying only important things. so I'll take it.

I'll take it all day.

But yeah, no, I know he liked this quote, though, all joking aside. I'm sure I'll add on after. But, you know, we're a firm believer that the second you become uncomfortable is the second you're growing. So, you know, and especially, it seems like every time I do a quote I say in life, in life, in life. But, you know, a lot of us. That's what matters, though, right?

It's true, though, yeah.

Like, a lot of us, and, in life, in life. But, you know, a lot of us.

That's what matters, though, right? It's true, though, yeah.

Like a lot of us, and, you know, I'm speaking for myself included, the second, you know,

something pushed me a bit and pushes me a bit and I'm a little uncomfortable and it messes me up.

You know, I want to back away and I want to retreat to what's easy, what's known, what's comfortable. But, you know, without, you know, a little bit of
