Best investment I’ve ever made was a cheap power cage, a barbell, and bumper plates. I still get to be home with the wife and kids and I get to train every day.
Bro if you didn't get a home gym you would only be missing for like an hour away at the gym and the break from your family for that gym time would actually be a good thing.
Yea thats cap. The time in your own personal training hall is 100X better than going to a public gym and having to worry about your stuff getting stolen. Plus at home you can wait as long as you want
Exactly, it’s my favorite time of day. I lift in the evenings in the garage while my wife and kids hang out in the yard with the neighbors. I can lift for 3 hours if I feel like it, I can grunt and yell and swear, and I can crank my own tunes as loud as I want. It’s a good life!
That doesnt factor in getting to and from the gym, which eats up quite a bit of time. Getting a quality session in with accessories and warmups might be an hour, but that is pure gym time. @curiosity8494
Whats crazy is how you can have two people with similar BF% and muscle mass but look completely different. Genetics of frame, insertions and how you carry bodyfat can make such a huge difference.
I love hearing about the Irish culture and how you guys think it’ll evolve. As a Puerto Rican I see so many similarities. Other than the religious aspect, America has made that impossible to die down for us.
The amount of times i notice im just less fatigued in general then what i expected after any particular physical or mental activity as a result of doing weightlifting and generally eating alright surprises me. Its really helpful to be fit in life in general.
41 yr old father of 3 young kids. Cheap home gym in basement (under $2k, almost entirely used gear). Mostly hypertrophy training with free-weights. I'm a tradie so work a physical job. Split is Sa,Su,Tu,Th. All sessions are under 1 hour. Thursday is especially short. Yes, I have to plan and prioritize this. It is well worth it.
You can use the public library for audiobook and other resources. Often they'll have what you're looking for (and you've already paid for it with tax), at least here in U.S. Ireland might have a good library system, too.
Praying for you guys and the Irish people! Have you heard of the book “how the Irish saved civilization?” I’d be interested to hear your opinion given that you like to talk about Irish history
Anybody here looking for more audio books, check your local library for an online app and reader. They have free audio books. In the states (in Florida at least), they have Libby. Not sure about Ireland
The part of the power vacuum is interesting, here in Quebec in Canada, the power vaccum occured after a rebellion in 1837 where the French-Canadian social elites lost a lot of power, and the Church, which was already a marker of "Frenchness" opposite British protestantism, became the dominant social structure. It managed schools, health care, community life, etc. My dad told me that even through the 1950s, youth sports were organized through the parishes. In the same way as Irish Catholic priests, French-Canadian Catholic priests were "overrepresented" in the Catholic world compared to the size of the underlying population. There was a really stark backlash at the end of the 1960s brought on by the proximity between politicians and the Church. The whole thing is usually called the Quiet Revolution, which saw a rapid modernization of Quebec's society and the rise of Quebecois nationalism in the 1970s, leading to the first referendum. Jump to now, nobody's religious, kids are usually not baptized, churches are falling apart from lack of funds, no one gets married in front of a priest, and the general social vibe is very religion-skeptic. You guys mentioned wedding rates, I've literally never been to a wedding between two French-Canadians. In part, it's caused by the presence of very generous civil union rules, which has led to the idea of being "Quebec married" which means being with the same person for decades, owning a home, having kids, etc. and never actually getting legally married. The only really evident "legacy" of Catholicism is that every Quebec swear is some form of Catholic vocabulary, where stuff like "tabernacle", "host", "virgin", etc. have become standard swear words. I heard you guys talk about Irish history before, and it always strikes me how similar our histories are. It might not be that surprising, a lot of elements are the same, although the timescales aren't. It would also explain why so many Irish people moved to the province at the end of the 19th century, and now most French-Canadians have at least a few Irish names in their family tree. PS: Plato was the wrestler, Plato was his nickname, it means "The Broad". In a way, he's the Fridge of philosophy.
I think the biggest issue with keeping people in the trades is: people know there are jobs out there that arent like that. Maybe the good old boys club needs to rethink things
People in the United States don’t understand religious conflict. The lineage of the country traces itself back to the English Civil War, and those who first landed in the country understood well the foolishness of Catholic vs Protestant conflict. Ireland unfortunately still remembers what such nonsense is like. I think that is one of many reasons why one place is religious and why one is not. I don’t see millennials or gen z being religious, but then again I don’t live in the sort of places where religious people live. Maybe if I were in a particular part of the US outside of a city I would see something else Edit [on parenthood]: I have a kid. I completely understand when someone says that they don’t want a kid because they want freedom. There are entire sections of my day that are gone because I have a kid. There is an element of spontaneity that is just gone. You can’t run into someone at the gym and get lost in a conversation, then just hang out with them after training. Being a parent means all of your time MUST be structured. You never get that back
Disagree with your take on modern hybrid athletes. I have done it all my life (I'm 62) and yes I was not as strong or probably as fit as Nick Bare but that was down to genetics and a day job. The principles of the training were still the same. I'm not talking myself up here there were plenty like me and better than me.
Corrected upload! Enjoy 😊
Let’s goooooo
Excited to have sh*t talk back.
Glad I’m not the only one

I think the FI portion is much more important than the RE portion.

Loved this! BTW Chris, sent you an email about a sponsorship, if you get a chance let us know what you think!

Also, Eoin, have you read about Tolkien’s faith/ catholic themes in his writings? I know you’re quite the lotr fan
Only way to start a shit talk episode 😂😂😂

Before CrossFit there was Brian Jacks.
A replacement level of fertility is a little over 2 per woman (two to replace parents, plus a bit to account for mortality).
It’s only just clicked that it’s not a tiny kids table that you are sitting at….. 😂
Please include SSJ Bobb’s 700lbs x 5 in your next sika news show
No picture of lean Murphy? Guess it really is Sh*t talk w/ the lads.

Disagree with your take on modern hybrid athletes. I have done it all my life (I'm 62) and yes I was not as strong or probably as fit as Nick Bare but that was down to genetics and a day job. The principles of the training were still the same. I'm not talking myself up here there were plenty like me and better than me.
wait... how long is that table? now I'm just thinking its like that putin table because secretly you guys don't like each other XD.
What happened to the original upload ?
Seemingly that was posted tooooo early and this was today's vid 🙍
