| 0:00.0 | You are listening to the J. Faruja show, the podcast that helps high achieving men get lean and jacked, build an unbreakable mindset, and become the man you're meant to be. |
| 0:19.9 | Yo, what is up? Thank you guys so much for tuning into another episode. I'm here with my man, |
| 0:25.6 | Evan Herndon E. Reese in the house. Yes, sir. We're about to get to another listener Q&A. So, without |
| 0:32.1 | further ado, let's kick it off. Let's get it. Uh, let's see. Number one, what's your take on rings, pushups, rows, etc. |
| 0:39.9 | I like rings a lot. Absolutely. I like, there's been an interesting kind of weird thing in the |
| 0:46.2 | fitness industry where people are really anti-stability stuff now over the last two years, |
| 0:53.0 | which I think is just silly. |
| 0:57.6 | I don't think you should be on just all machines all the time. |
| 0:58.3 | Like, that's crazy. |
| 1:04.4 | So stuff that challenges your stability, like doing push-ups or dips on rings, I think is great. |
| 1:05.7 | It's good for joint health. |
| 1:08.9 | Yeah, I like it a lot. And it allows you freedom of range of motion, whereas a machine you're just locked in. |
| 1:14.1 | So I like including stuff like that all the time, pushups, dips, inverted rows, one-arm rows, rack chin-ups or even just chin-ups hanging the rings, front levers, a bunch of different stuff. So, yeah, even like scarecrows for your rear delts. I love all that stuff. You do curls on, tricep extensions. Yeah. I like those a lot. TRX? Yeah. Right? Yeah. Yeah. I do like to split TRX, though. I don't like the one that has the one anchor point. Okay. Because then it's like it's too wobbly and it's really weird to do push-ups on |
| 1:46.2 | because then the things are like cheese grading the sides of your arms off. |
| 1:48.7 | You know what I mean? |
| 1:49.1 | So I like to split one. |
| 1:50.3 | Okay. |
| 1:50.7 | Okay. |
| 1:51.6 | All right. |
| 1:52.2 | What's a good practice to increase nitrous oxide production? |
| 1:57.5 | Beats. |
| 1:58.5 | So beat, beet root. |
