Joe Rogan Recommends Four Simple Exercises for a Ferocious Workout

Muy Thai. Muy Thai. Thai boxing. Uh-huh. You don't even know what that is? Muy Thai now. Never heard of that? Nope. You're so, you're so uh, what are you? White. Yeah, you're white. But you're also like a non-jock. Well, I was a jock my whole life. What would you do? I played football. Did you? Oh, that's right. I played football forever in track and a bunch of stuff. Did you fuck your... But then I stopped. Did you fuck your body up at all? Uh, no, not too bad. My shoulders a little bit. Mm-hmm. Yeah. My shoulders a little, but uh, that's pretty much it. My knees, you know, like I run a lot now. Mm-hmm. I've been running a lot for the last couple months. Yeah? What brought that on? I just want to be in better shape. Yeah? Want to feel better. I dropped like 15 pounds. Burn off some of that sourdough. Yeah, burning off some of the bread. Exactly. I was like, baby. That's great, man. Maybe. Yeah, your face looks thinner, man. Yeah. It looks good. Yeah, I've dropped a bunch. Congratulations. That's awesome. Thanks, man. Yeah. That's a cool thing. Once you get going, right? Yeah. Get that momentum. That's what's up. Well, you know what's really what's up. Was I was kind of cruising along and just like, we lost five pounds, just kind of like hanging around. And then I realized I'm working out like this workout that I'm doing is would have been a warmup when I was an athlete. Right. Like this wouldn't even have been a warmup. And I'm like, oh, that was pretty good. And I was like, I have to stop being a sissy and try and really push it a little more. Why don't you get a trainer? I don't like intimacy. Oh, that's real. Well, you know what else you can do? There's actually apps where you can follow an app. And the app will put you through a workout. Oh, yeah. Yeah. There's several of them now. They're really good. Oh, cool. A bunch of really good ones. I don't have any affiliation with any of them. So I'm not naming any of them. But you can, you can, you can even get a yoga one. You get a 90 minute yoga one. Right. And just do yoga. And it talks you through the poses. That's great. Yeah. I used to do yoga all the time, but I feel like I've got to, I feel I have to shift into lifting weights again. Yeah. Like, yeah, because I've just been dropping. No, but I just feel like, you know, a little bit. I don't want to be. Yeah, I don't want to be. Like at the pool with no arms. You know what I mean? So many people have motivated the lifting by going to the beach or the pool with very little clothes on. I thought about summertime. Fuck. People are going to know. Yeah, exactly. I reveal my secret. People are going to know what disgusts me about. Yeah, this is my gluttony. Look at it. This is my laziness. Look, this is what I did all winter. This is my poor food choices right here. Look, look. I think this is drinking. This is all upper, the upper part. Yeah, this is the part right on the sides. But I really just, but then when I started getting after and being like, don't be such a sissy, like work out, try and push it. Then you want to, then I wanted to do it more. Then I got into it. Then I'm like, all right, let's go. Now I'm going further. I'm going quicker. But, uh, this has all been cardio. Yeah. All cardio. What about just body weight stuff? Like, you know, I mean, it's not a bad idea to start off with body weight first of all. Just push ups. Yeah. Because you haven't really done much like that in a while. Yeah. It's chin ups, push ups and the body weight squats really don't need much else. Really? Not really. I've been doing more pushups. Ferocious workout in with change grip, pushups, chin ups, body weight squats, just do just those things. Does that mean I have to get one of those chin up bars? It goes in the doorway. Yeah. Get a real one though. Cause those things fall on people. Those ones that hang folks. Listen to me. Yeah. Those ones that hang on the door, the door jam. Yeah. I used to work construction. Those fucking things are not designed for you hanging on them. They have little tiny nails. I'm not doing that. I guess a lot of people like me probably installed them. And sometimes you don't hit a stud. So that little tiny nail is going right into the fucking drywall. Yeah. And you're hanging that thing over there and it's pulling on that sucker. No, then I'll mess my shoulder up. I'll be able to mess that up. Those fuckers that drill into the side of the door. You know what I'm saying? Like the ones that they go right in the side, they screw it in this way. Oh, into the jam. It's like four screws on each side. That'll hold you up. Hold your weight. All right. That'll hold your weight. I'll get that. That one will work. Cause you're pulling down on the wood. So the way those things are, it's like sitting on the wood. You know those ones that hook over the top of the door? Yeah. That shit is a recipe for a broken neck. I feel like that thing was in like every eighties movie. Yeah. I mean, I'm sure they have good ones that do that. I'm sure they do. Yeah. Sure. But you should really check out your fucking moldings first. Yeah. Because molding's a pull. Why don't I just lay on the ground and do some pushups? Yeah. But a real chin up bar, man. A real chin up bar is, I mean, if you just got one in a park, just go to the fucking park. You're outside. A lot of parks have like those chin up bars, those little setups where you could do calisthenics. Yeah. Yeah. Chin ups are no joke. Those are great for working out. I know. They seem too simple. They seem like, oh, ladies must go over there. Bro, I go to Nautilus. I don't need this. Right. Exactly. I do my leg extensions on Nautilus. I got my membership. I use once a month. Body weight squad seem easy when you do three. Yeah. But when you do a hundred, they become very fucking hard. Right. When you get to like 70 and you're like, oh shit. You feel that burn, baby. And you start counting down in tens. I remember doing pushups when we played football and you would do, you know, 200. Ooh. It'd be like 200. You'd break them up. In a row? No. Break them up. How do you do in a row? They would, we'd do like 30. Mm-hmm. And then, you know, split them up. And, uh, you know, that was a big time workout. And now I'm doing like 25. I'm like, all right, I'm good for a couple of days. It's hard, man. It is hard. Getting anywhere more than 30 pushups. It's like, woo. Shit starts getting crazy. Yeah. Yeah. It was a lot of pushing. Yeah. Two, like your body has to be conditioned for that. And if it's not, it lets you know. Your arms start shaking. Yeah. The funniest part is hockey around 19 though. You get to like 18, 19, like bro, I'm feeling fucking smooth. It's so funny how whatever number you have in your head is where you start to write. If you say I'm doing 20, you start shaking at 18. If you say I'm doing 25, you don't start shaking until 23. You know, it's a real mental thing.
