Don't live in chaos. Control that chaos. And the best fighter know how to control their emotions and block out the noise when the time counts. What is the most important punch? It's the jab. The jab sets up all the other punches. That's why it's the most important punch. The barbell lifts are great for testing. So you have your testers and your builders. Why would we train? We can't increase power production. You can improve power production

through the transverse plane, learning kinetic linkage, and using the support system all the way up to the

outer extremity to produce that force. Does that carry over the competition? It may or may not.

How important is like sprinting and jumping? The best athletes are gymnasts and sprinters. They're not

to produce force. They're not

to control their body. They're strong in so many different ranges. It teaches you rotational power.

It teaches you to produce force into the ground. It teaches you hip flexion and extension.

What about some of this like rucking and stuff? I decided to do a hundred mile rug,

or actually it was 150 miles. And so what ended up happening, I ended up getting wrapped on my license. Phil DeRue, welcome to the show once again. Thank you, my brother. It feels good to be back, you know, seeing that hair, too. That hair is amazing. Yeah, shit's going crazy over here, huh? Did you watch Invincible ever? Do you know what that is? No. I thought so. Omneman. Omneman. It's a cartoon. I don't know.

I'm so. Omneman. It's a cartoon. I don't know. I'm just fucking around. Can we put something up so I can see? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Give me some context. Get a glimpse. Got it. There we go. Perfect. The stash too. Now Omni Man, he has some unbelievable striking power.

He's got some pretty good hands.

I know you were working with, I know you were working with in Seema a little bit.

What are some common mistakes that people make when they're kind of new to striking?

Like do they push too much?

Are they trying too hard?

Like what are the things? Let's actually pull up a really bad video on my Instagram. I'm going to use myself as the self-deprecating

Individual here go to my Instagram and then you'll see a video of me just having some fun on a bag

Cool thing about also punch is that a lot of people think a lot of people just always think they can throw a punch.

Yeah. Yeah. It's true. Go down. Go down. Right there. Right there. I used to get that a lot too. I used to get, I know how to bench. Like, I don't think so. All the bad things here. I mean, the one thing that we'll talk about, right, was you drop in your hands right

after you throw.

So, and the way you're slipping punches is just, it's inaccurate.

It's not really.
