Welcome, everyone to the RP Strength podcast.

I am Nick Shaw and join now, always going forward.

I shouldn't say always.

Most of the time, the vast majority of the time.

Yeah.

The man, the myth, the legend, Dr. Mike.

What's up, man?

What's up, Nick?

How are you?

I'm well. It's actually been a while since I've chatted with you. Yeah. How's your training and diet? Well, I got some good news and, well, I guess I don't know if I'd call it bad news. It depends on how you view things, I suppose. So I set up my mask goal in the Died app, R.P. DiCo app, of course.

And just recently, I got a notification and said, congratulations.

You hit your goal weight.

Yep.

I was like, oh, okay.

I hit it two months early.

Oops.

That being said, I must be carrying an incredible amount of bloat right now, though.

Mm-hmm.

So it's very interesting.

I will freely admit I've been at least a good amount, been eating like an asshole, like just straight up. Like, yeah. Man, when you got kids, there's just so much stuff around. And like, you know, if I had something coming up, it'd be easy because I can dial in. I've talked about that before. Just flip it on, you can flip it off. It's just so easy to bake. well, you know, like for example, the other night, you know, my kids were saying with my sister, there's some like last, like final fun stuff before school starts coming up soon. And like Lori and I went out and we got some Chinese food. And then we bought some cookies from the grocery store because, you know, why wouldn't you pair that with Chinese food of course and it was amazing it was absolutely amazing that sounds amazing and it's funny because we went up to the mountains over the weekend and I came back Sunday I actually trained

late Sunday night which is something I never do I was straight in the morning and I was like

225 after getting back from the trip midday.
