Hey hey hey everybody, welcome back to another Knock-On Podcast. I know, I know, it's been too long. That's how it goes.

There's several of you saying what the hell dude, you know we had to listen a bunch of other bull crap podcasts for a while.

But I know, I know, that's what has to happen. It's, I don't know, yesterday I made a post on Facebook, I posted my big, my big foot kettlebell and a saying that I really believe in something that me and Rogan actually talked about.

We talked about just the fact of when you're in the workout mentality and you really, whether you're practicing with your bow or whether you're working out or whether you're really into running.

Like once you get that momentum going, it's just part of your routine, you're just grinding, you're doing it, you're loving it, you feel really good and everything about what's going on.

But then all of a sudden if you stop, that you lose that momentum pretty fast too. A lot of times it's just that, that first little bit of really getting motivated and getting going, that's the hardest part.

And with me being gone for over three weeks to Europe, which I'll get into that subject here in a little bit.

It was difficult with my schedule to work out very much over there. I did pretty much like once a week. I was able to, but my schedule and my days were just so long that by the time with my family all being there with me as well, I couldn't get done with the training session and then be able to just, normally I would coach a team or work with the kids.

And then either at first light or at last light, I would go out and run or hit a, you know, find a gym, get a taxi to a gym and work out, but just to kind of relieve my stress.

But I've got family that's just waiting 12, 13 hours a day for me to come back. So I just wasn't able to do it.

And I got back and yesterday when I got in the gym, I just felt like everything was marked wrong on the weights. I felt like everything was twice as heavy as what it was.

And, you know, I ended up posting this picture of my kettlebell or it's actually a kettlebell that's at on it. And I just put a saying on there that's really good. It just says momentum is a cruel mistress.

She can turn on you at the dime with a small mistake and she's ever searching for the weak place in your armor that one tiny thing that you forgot to prepare for.

So I just really feel like my momentum was lacking, so to speak. I freaking I left for Europe really focused.

I had been shooting, had been working out really hard. I was just really, really happy. I was in like phenomenal. I felt like I could do an elk hunt like right then without a problem.

I was totally prepared and really that's one thing that stresses me out when I know that I have a big schedule. And when I'm going to be working with a lot of people.

The last thing I want to do, you know, it's kind of like my buddy Kyle. My buddy Kyle right now and you can find him on Instagram.

I'll just share him with you. If you're into like some hard rock stuff.

His name is, well, his handle is Kyle underscore Vimic V I M I C. But it's Kyle Conkeel and he's a bass player for Vimic.
