· auto-generated[Applause] [Music] so a question I get asked all the time is how do you balance all the lifts in all the fitness and your golf today I'm going to show you when you through it all and you're gonna see exactly what goes down right now it's just after 7:00 a. M. When what down still a little bit kept coming out of it but that allows me to get a little bit more sleep tracking on the web so that's one of the first things everyone get up see exactly where my recoveries that I had have combined four hours of deep and REM sleep last night so I should be pretty good alright then we're waking up in a nice black coffee had some greens and we're gonna head out a 10 mile bike ride as that fasted morning cardio Austria Monique Adi are done fasted 10-mile bike ride is about 38 minutes so fairly quick just windy it's pretty wild out there as well guys alright but I love doing some in our morning whether it's cycling running or you get a workout in we play golf even just yoga stretching whatever you need to do get a body going on the morning it makes all the difference guys alright all the difference and now it's time to eat do you need a lot of fuel some fresh eggs avocado few cabs because I have just worked and I'm gonna work out to up there so we make up some quite a nice home it cookie you know banana that's a little bit of peanut butter have that with a coffee I'm good to go so busy Mon and done we've refueled and it's time to hit the cost we will put the EAP club right now back home ready to go haven't actually played golf for about nine weeks or so and it's a little windy it's a little windy I'm gonna give you some footage guys we only gonna get about nine holes I'm just gonna get some fresh air see the ball fly a little bit I'll try and do some talking out there but you're not gonna get too much I'll put some swings up and then we got busy there from there on I'm gonna go play now I'll get down to the gym I'm gonna do a live workout with Scott live on IG TV I'll try to you but there got a podcast at 5:00 we're gonna hit one of our Power Program workouts after and it might even get a little extra training in with a brother after that guys right but can't wait to go let some drives fly see what goes on [Music] it's windy out there guys but it was great to be out to be honest having had so much time off and also all the plans that had competitively canceled at least for the short term I didn't know how motivated I was to go play didn't know how much I wanted to get back into it get back playing but that's great loved it hit it pretty good I just played night house having not played so long didn't really start just kind of hit few shots hit it good shot game was okay I was pretty good guys all right so I think one of the things is I mean I've been hearing a couple balls in the garden but other than that keeping my body going the way that I want to work in the way that I want to and always having the system that he's ready to perform is a huge deal for me okay and obviously heading back to the gym pretty soon I'm gonna run you through exactly how my training is how I maintain both sides of things and basically how this all works out guys right but first a little bit more fuel take just a slight rest then what hit the gym all right made it to the gym refueled already hit the Stallings live workouts pretty cold we get to go live on IG relatively often with my man Scott starlings throw something out give people back something to try out and I was feeling a little bit of fire to go get something done so if you want to first see that full workout you can get it on Instagram right now and now feeling all loose we're gonna hit a full power session is this is from our 12-week program and this is where my training kind of really comes in so right here you're gonna do this is we're gonna do so I like to write it up CrossFit thing we're gonna deadlift we'll hit some explosive mid ball work and then we're gonna hit workouts so generally that's a good picture of what my power training looks like I'll hit this type of session quite often I mean you look in three four maybe five times a week depending how I'm feeling and outside of that a lot of lot of condition in there a lot of cowbell dumbbell work etc as well and set in terms of balancing this all out number one is experience so I know where my body's at I know how to gauge where I'm feeling and basically I can apply myself as such from now I know if my performance is going down I know I can change I know how to match you up so everything works out but when you do train over a long period of time obviously get our training experience your body reacts well to it and then for me I feel worse about doctoring so I like to lift heavy within reason with great form all those good things and then I also play my get best golf when my body is working like that okay so I'll talk a little bit more about as we go through it's time to get loose time to lift some weights [Music] limit sir and I have enough experience to get a really inbreeding and be where I need to be so one of the big things were left in is not that you just immediately think further although I think the majority of you will it's also efficiency and longevity so as long as you didn't perform the appropriate limit except a lot of good things where you'll find is it become a complete athlete you're going to improve your control of your muscular system so basically your outputs gonna be more efficient you don't have to read like I'm in jail on the cops all the time in fact that's the last thing I want to do so by increasing your spectrum basically if you can be high was not redlining you are becoming more efficient and basically running better performance and for a longer period of time you know how mentally absolutely everything you can to swing you fastest player best etc you become that optimal athlete when you know exactly like to be you know I mean which allows me to feel but also [Music] taking the benefits [Music] [Laughter] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] yeah guys that rotational netball stuff chest press gotta love that with a slammin it was lame I'll go get some serious power gone then really simple workout today you just add in some bodyweight movements some good pans their conditioning makes a great day great way to train for all types of performance and yeah got me going pretty good so that's the time at the gym done for now so it's been a bit of a hectic day time to eat and we'll kind of figure out what doing for the rest of the night so because the gym is still closed right now might do something else I think it might is that in last little bit of conditioning and maybe a little bit of accessory work and bodybuilding at home wouldn't normally get that much in during the day but with the current scenario we love getting it done guys alright so get something good to eat now obviously I've been training a lot optimal right now would be carbs and protein we'll see what the Guru is get some good stuff going on and then we'll finish off the day guys all right a few more thoughts from y'all we're in terms of how this moves forward in terms of how you can improve your game and your performance in general so what kind of summerhall up at the end guys alright but as you just saw there with a ski ugh one thing's for sure you got to be willing to get after you I'll be willing to put in that work that's why the best results like not girlfriends in the gym that's been filled up a couple of times members have taken some I've taken a lot so all guys were about 6 o'clock in the evening just outside to eat chicken wrap plenty in there a few more calves and protein another black coffee we get through some black coffee alright so not gonna be with a brother now we did get any bacon lockdown as bra nice little change sewing different so finish off the deer we're gonna go hit shuttle background test it out make sure I can ride it and I might just hit up a quick log bodybuilding set mostly for me also for performance you know our best structure you need to get everything working and you need to feel good alright so you haven't seen everything today you see most things but obviously within all that I'm still home we're working on an app right now we're working on a ton of other things mostly today we're done finish up chocolate supplements are you so probably the main supplement is strong that coffee get to a ton of them after that knuckle which is basically some caffeine some not sugar-free branched chain amino acid fuel it means that kind of thing essentially I got a pre-workout sled test dual of CBD 4 5 C media got pretty strong stuff this time 2,000 milligrams I like it for digestion sleep and just kind of general mood it does feel pretty good so I do have some high quality grass-fed whey protein which as I said when you kind of track including my work we do you need a few extra things and then the other things that I use quite as much would be collagen creatine kind of things like that and then everyday definitely have some Omega threes high quality beer chair anything there's a couple model sometimes I'll take up said America we close to me in that kind of thing basically your keep things taken out Trang is much from food as possible can eat around the deer without trying to mess up the digestion too much but trying to get those calories in that's their body building I'm gonna tell you I'm on my whoop stats for today because they're pretty nuts then it's stick and in social media but you know video so I've been doing a little bit more bodybuilding during this time just because we got more time it's gonna be a chance again focus on that I don't like doing it's been a bit of a change in my intensity I have enjoyed that so I'm gonna have some bench some been over us maybe use some bags of trash just to finish the day off it's time to finish up tie all my stats off my dog then we do and now it's been a busy day but it's pretty similar to what my normal day looks like so the main thing about my performance and how I do balance everything up is the fact that you have to be adjusted to your own girls so it's pretty fun but number one I love what I do that helps stay motivated stay fired up gives me the energy to do so and then after that like simplify its by experience so I know how my body works the best and really it's the case of you doing the same so been tracking today on the woop it's about eight o'clock at night we're already just under 5,000 calories burned and these are pretty accurate on calories they do favor more the cardiovascular work so in terms of have you lived in the bodybuilding style stuff you calorie adjustment might be a little bit higher but that's pretty accurate as to what I would eat in terms of a day like today I had a bunch of different activities and I felt good I still feel pretty good now so I said find the things that work best for you require the right amount of lift in you want to get some good fitness and intensity in there and then you want to play golf so for me I would adjust obviously if I was back in the competitive season I would take a couple of the activities out I'll be spending more time at the golf course pretty simple alright still be basically doing the same work it just be a different balance out so obviously my goals are set to that and my outlook is set to that as well so if we weren't in lockdown I'll be at the gym a little bit more coaching a few classes same thing I would be doing different things but I'd still be expending energy so I do need to get the rest but at the same time then we'll fire it up to get it done right so right now we just want to help as many people as possible find the right balance so you can get the benefit of all the health the fitness the golf and basically do what you want to do because it feels good guys all right and don't don't put a limit on what you can do that's probably the main thing that one said so we're all finished up with this video I want to go grab a stick catch up on social media and then crush yep that's how it works if you like this video make sure you
