I'm trying to get harder and tougher mentally and physically every day.

You're either the growth mindset or you're the fixed mindset.

If you're trying to be the best, you need to look at who the best is and see what they do.

Relentless pursuit of progress.

There's a difference between the best and the rest.

Welcome to the Brute Strength Podcast.

What do you care enough about?

And now here's your host, Michael Kasyu. Hello, welcome back. My name is Mike Kaju and you're listening to the brute strength

podcast. This week's guest is Wam Hoff, the Iceman. Wam is known for his breathing techniques as well as the work that he does in ice cold water.

He's also really well known for his crazy antics such as hanging off of a hot air balloon with one finger, climbing up Mount Everest in nothing but shorts, no shoes, and even injecting himself with malaria to prove that he can overcome it with his methods. I first heard about Wim Hof a few years ago and

a D had just gone to, my wife a D had just gone to a mastermind event where someone taught her the Wim Hof breathing method.

And I remember sitting in a park with her and she showed it to me and we did the method well first off we tested how long we could

hold our breath I think at first mine was about 90 seconds maybe a little

less than that and then we did the breathing techniques and then I retested and

I could hold my breath for three minutes. It took all of about 10 minutes to do this

method and I overdubbled the amount of time that I could hold my breath.

I also at the end of it tested how many pushups I could do in a row and I did 90 push-ups at about 200 pounds which was the most I had ever done at that
