The thing I love about this video is Brian knows he is successful. He had done it all, made all the mistakes and he he simply sharing his success. More people should listen to the mentality aspect of his training, not just the exercises he does EDIT: watched to the end and want to make a suggestion. Name these walking and talking videos something distinct and label them ‘walking talking podcast 1, walking talking podcast 2’. (Or something that suits you) I enjoyed listening to this as a podcast rather than sit down and watch content. Also might help with content diversification. Also helps people know what’s coming out and what to expect from videos. (Very humble advice ofc, but maybe something to consider)

Yep keep these coming. There perfect for when I’m folding laundry or driving because the visual component isn’t as important as the audio so it’s easy to consume and multitask where as the training tips in movements require watching and listening.

I have a full work capacity performances in my work outs I do way better then I trained a lot 5 days a week on 4 days a week from I'm preparing my self for events and need to get stronger but tougher for it.I do give myself rest breaks to count my reps but if I gotta continue moving then imma make sure I finish up and keep moving to get everything done before i move on to something else.Cause I know if you stop too much or too long then your killing your performances your not keeping your energy up or your, heart rate up cause you'll be sleepy and too tired to finish up.If I take a rest break then I'd do it for a few seconds to drink up my juices,go to the bathroom then get back into my sets so I won't have remove ,myself from my activities for when I need to stay focus I don't be bullshitting around I got my schedule going so far.So I've injured myself a few times but I never gave up I took breaks but if I had so much shit to over come then I had to go back and practice more methods,but do it properly though luckily I'm doing a lot better but gotten more stronger,consistent,proactive and faster now.I solve all my problems along the way now I gotta worry about it anymore.

Got this from George Leeman some years ago, talking about for example squats,boxsquats, or like the RDL, stuff like that where you take a weight you can comfortably do 7/8reps with but you go for 15-20 for a single set. Then once you get that 20 up the weight. That shit did some crazy shit. Makes you mentaly strong as fuck to.

Brian is right, do the hard things but some people need to do them in small ways until their body gets ready, and healed. Work hard and work smart.

Love your channel and the message, however I think this information might not be for beginners. Minimum effective (effective= key word) work requirement for beginners leaves room for growth and takes less time. Typically beginners are short on time, both daily and weekly therefore in my (non-certified in any way) opinion they should focus on MEV (Dr. Mike Israetel term for minimum effective volume) and increase slowly from there. I just think for beginners, this approach will either lead to a burnout or at least a much sooner plateau. Either way... Great video! Keep up the great work!

Hey Brian, I really enjoy the content of your pond talks. They're good for motivation, reminders, learning, etc. What would you think about doing it as a short podcast? I would really enjoy listening to them as I warm up or whatever and not have to have KZitem playing to hear it. I would listen to that everytime. Dont get me wrong, I enjoy watching you gesticulate as you walk around the lake, and I love catching glimpses of the dogs, but I think you could have something cool here with ~10 min podcasts...shoot you could probably still recording as you walk too. Just a thought...thanks man!

Great video Brian! Like everyone commenting so far I love the pond talks. I totally agree with you about just carrying heavy stuff around. That may also have the greatest carryover into real life because we all carry stuff, whether it's your kids, groceries, stuff around your house, your yard, or at your job. When I used to take my twins for walks in their stroller I would sometimes carry a dumbbell with me. It's great because you switch sides when one gets tired but your forced to keep going because it's not like you can just leave that thing somewhere. Metal toughness is huge and vastly underrated. Anyway thanks for spewing out all the great wisdom. We all really appreciate it, and glad you are starting to feel better! ☺
