life. hello welcome to another edition of Club. Shay Shay I am your host Shannon sharp. also the proud of Club Shay and this is. a very special edition of on the road. with Club Shay we're here at the mecca. Gold's Gym in Venice Beach. [Music]. every missed Olympia has worked out here. some of the biggest actors in Hollywood.

Arnold Schwarzenegger Samuel Jackson. even Magic Johnson and yes Yours Truly. Shannon sharp worked out here in the. late 90s I'm very excited with my. special guest today seven times Miss. Olympia Fields heat and he's gonna train. me like a bodybuilder so for one day. Shannon sharp gets to train like a. bodybuilder. yo what's up baby what up man how you. doing I'm good I'm good you ready are. you ready in the world of Professor Club.

let's get there. [Music]. oh you got your gloves on top so you. with the straps bro I'm ready all right. so we're gonna do some back and triceps. okay all right so we're gonna start here. we're gonna do some lat pull Downs okay. with the wide grit okay we're not gonna. go crazy why but we're gonna be about. right here okay I'm gonna bring this. down and I'm gonna keep my chin up the. entire time okay a lot of time people. want to come down and and hunch over. like this right we're gonna stay here.

okay and then keep that chin up. and pull it down. to the top of our chest okay and then. the biggest thing is to make sure that. we're not straining our neck you know we. get a lot of guys you know they're. they're doing all this right you know. trying to get that last rep but we want. to be able to control it and last but. not least. we want to make sure that we're pulling. not with our hands not with our biceps. and our forearms but with our elbows so. we're thinking where are my elbows. they're up here I just wanna I just want. to pull them down okay.

gotcha pulling my elbows down. the further they can go the better the. squeeze is going to be okay on these. lats okay. and it's going to eliminate a lot of the. soreness that you're going to have here. for them yeah because everybody wants to. grip everything so much because they. look at the weight and they're like I. gotta have cool good good. and they want to slow it down just a. little bit there we go. so we're going to keep that chin up. and we're going to hold for like a good. two count one two we're gonna have more.

time under tension. and see as you keep your chin up higher. you're going to be able to get more air. too. the problem is when people keep their. chin low it's because of the fact that. it gets heavy right. so the common mistake you see a lot of. people let me again they do this yeah. that's the biggest thing we're seeing. them they're allowing that weight to. control them right instead of them. controlling the weight okay and normally. it's an ego thing I mean we come into. the mecca of bodybuilding goes Gym. Venice you see all the pictures of Mr.

Olympia all this other stuff you see let. me do that heavy doing that at Boutique. gyms also yeah they've been watching. those videos they're hopped up on the. supplements they've been listening to. the crazy music and yeah they're they're. with it but they're not realizing they. need to focus on some technique right. they want to we want to focus on the. tempo so we're not going super fast. right because this is going to carry. momentum right and then we want more. time under tension.

a lot of people say well why would I do. underhand lat pull Downs because we want. to work on the sweeping of the last okay. the lats can actually insert very very. low right but you see a lot of guys that. only have it very up top very high yes. and in bodybuilding we want it to start. solo so it's just it looks like yeah the. Cobra and you know this working with the. great Lee Haney you know he had a. beautiful back so we're going to come. here. okay.

and we can hold we'll get into the. heavier stuff right but now we're warmed. up right see the problem I used to have. was I was so excited. to get into the heaviest stuff right yes. yes and then I had to realize like even. when I played basketball in college we. always had warm warm-ups yes why not do. that in lifting do you train with gloves. I have I have in my career yeah you know. a lot of people try to discourage it yes. and I and I thought because you got.

calluses and I like touching my girl's. booties exactly. nice beautiful. and so like everything back here yep. right there all the way down in there. now. awesome isn't it easier for someone like. yourself that's a little bit more. compact to develop that little say I'm. short. [Laughter]. compared to yeah I'm a little taller.

go quite as low you're a specimen we all. know that so I actually think that if we. were to do let's say 12 weeks of certain. type of training right specifically. geared toward the sweeping at the last I. guarantee you would see Improvement. right you know as a football player. you're not really focusing on that. you're focused functional yeah I was. going to say so like what was like one. of the lifts that you guys had to have. for back I mean we did some probably one. on row yes that was dumbbell row that. was really the only thing that we did.

for back God is about you know we did. bench press we did squat we did leg. press I mean we're trying to get power. yeah try to get speed yeah and. I don't do curls yes because my thing. was to push people off me they were. trying to pull nobody talking yeah my. girl didn't weigh that much so I just. feel like she she would be here. dudes I'm trying to get it off me right. everything was about yeah the push 100. actually with that let's go over here.

and do some tricep real quick. please. [Music]. you can always do hand on hip or you can. come a little further out here grab this. right and all we're going to do is. extend out here we're gonna try to keep. it a little close right if we come out. here we don't feel it as much right if. we come right here we can go further out. okay all right. so I want to yep there we go right there.

and I want to make sure I'm getting a. good one count on here so I can actually. fill okay what I'm doing and then what. that's doing is actually stimulating you. know that mind muscle connection right. therefore I'm not feeling in my joints. or anything like that. and if I am I know where to adjust. it's how heavy are you going 65 75 yeah. 80. it also depends. on the gym that I'm going to right. because you and I both know. this may not be our home gym right in 60. pounds on another type of machine it.

feels totally different right most gyms. are not going to go you're not going to. be able to do cable with 297. I mean. they got a lamp pull down this lap pull. down goes almost 700 pounds exactly so. there's no gym other than this gym right. so I always tell people like make sure. feel it out fill it out when you're. doing this is your goal always to. stimulate not annihilate correct people. coming in. hey it's hilarious when we see people. and they're doing let's say bicep curls.

right and you almost want to ask them. are you doing shoulders or back because. they're going like this right they're. down there hitting themselves in the. face doing it because they're trying to. do all that right why am I doing that. right because it's too heavy and I. refuse to address everything else. accordingly because I am afraid that. people think that I'm training like a. Woods because I'm only starting with. this right well Mr Olympia had to start. somewhere right and if I can Master 50. pounds then I'm going to go to 60. so we. said yeah and you're and obviously. you're told so maybe take a little half. step toward me yep and then keep that. close yep and now extend as far as out.

yep cool. if I ain't no I've been training wrong. my damn self. I you just haven't been training with it. seven times lately I have not I have not. if it would you feel I'm a mess around I. won't be able to fit in my clothes you. guys like when you gain weight you can. just wear like shorts and wear baggy.

so I can actually come a little lower. right here and then extend down okay at. first I had it really tucked in like. this and I was coming out here right I. could come a little lower okay drop my. elbow down. and then sweep. right there. how long does a typical workout take you. to complete. uh. I want to make sure I can do it in 75. minutes that means I'm not over here you. know but you're not boo-jabbing around. you that's what I'm saying I'm in there.

I'm locked in I like the gamified things. I want to make sure that if there's not. a clock up there I'm using my watch I'm. saying okay if I say it's 90 seconds. rest in Period that's what that means. okay. then try to bring that out just a little. bit more yeah right there yeah. yes see before you were stopped in a. little short now yeah just like that. and what's crazy about you Shannon I can. actually see your tricep your horseshoe. three shirts so that's good I've been. working I know you don't know if I've.

been working quite as hard but I'm gonna. try once you uh you gave an Insight. because I definitely don't train in a. Tempo method and that's the biggest. thing too as we age you know we're. wanting to make sure that we're getting. quality reps if I could go back to my 25. year old self I'd have been like okay. let's slow this down I know testosterone. high right you excited and everything. but let's slow this thing down and. really hone in on the little things just. like you would playing football or. whatever look if you go online and. people say man I see Phil man like it. looked like he could he always has more.

left in the tank like he can he can lift. heavier I can but the goal is not to. live heavier this is not look my. heaviest lift ever was uh 505 on the. Benson for single that's enough I can. brag about that till I die you know. correct correct uh squat the same you. know I'm in that 1500 Club I've done it. all I've done that but I don't have to. do that every day. [Music]. get a good stretch right here this is as.

far as we're gonna go to get a good. stretch and then as I'm pulling see I. can lean forward just to get a good. stretch come here be at 90 degrees but. I'm pulling right here with and what. with my elbows okay and I won't stop. until I know right here I'm not going to. stop until I feel those laps right okay. I'm not just going to come here and do. all this. I want to come here I feel that stretch. in the lats which is good. and I'm going to squeeze. [Music].

[Applause]. [Music]. all right Shannon incline bench I. lowered a little bit you're familiar. with skull crushing yes of course but.

we're gonna do dumbbells okay instead of. pressing here we're actually going to. press up and I want to demonstrate that. right it's to alleviate all of this pain. right here all right. so a lot like I said a lot of people. come here right when they're doing them. right here. we want to go. up and back oh okay see that yes. and if I want to I can change it up and. go here. I can have a little fun with it okay. okay. so how much dumbbell did you use as.

opposed to cable. oh gosh I used the. I very rarely use cable it was usually. for touch up work right at the very end. of a workout okay. so you're gonna come I'm gonna hold your. hands okay right here you're gonna come. here. so instead of instead of. going forward right that you're just. pushing up and back yep. and you see like that's all engaged. right there yep.

and then have these next two go a little. lower right here yep there you go and. then we're gonna keep them right here. get right there. there you go. [Music]. there we go incorporate that. [Music]. the last three days leading up to the. show the day of the show what are you. eating what's the prep those last three.

days I ain't gonna lie yeah it's hell. it's hell because the minute you start. taking water out while still having to. eat the same amount of food your mind. does some tricks man your mind is saying. Uncle it's tapping out right and that's. where a lot of bodybuilders miss their. Peak because they do reach for that. water and they say oh I'll just use a. diuretic to get it out right. and then they don't look right. I go off of biorhythms right so what.

does that mean. what time am I going to be on stage. theoretically right 8 39 o'clock. I'm gonna start training at 8 30 9. o'clock right every night for three four. months that way I know how my body's. gonna look look the best time is in the. morning when you wake up yeah. back up in the morning yeah. [Applause]. I feel like I'm good I feel good yeah. yeah yeah so how long can you sustain.

that while eating while drinking water. ah man it goes away yeah as soon as I. eating drinks and water yeah like what. happened there they go I didn't eat that. much right but what if I can train you. so that at 12 14 hours later you still. hold that maybe it's a little blur right. we get rid of more fat right we get. where the more excessive water I taught. my body how to do that right so if I. took a picture at five in the morning I. should be able to take a picture at 5 pm. and as much as not changed right once I.

figure that part I'm like oh these guys. are in trouble man you got me over here. giving out all the secrets. are you coming back yeah. okay. you never know they may drop me a bag. all right okay. they say hey you don't really do a whole. lot of posting before the actual show no. you know how LeBron says Zero Dark. Thirty yeah I do the same thing right. because why do I need to show you. anything but you know I mean you won't.

see it but you're gonna see it right I. always wanted to keep covered up yeah um. does he yeah plastic sleeve yeah your. boy stay covered up but they know oh. everybody knows they know everybody. knows you gave us a preview yeah. this is Advanced now you know and now. that I've been working with you in like. time under tension and eccentric motions. oh I'm gonna be straight oh yeah I'm. gonna be straight I ain't gonna put on. those sides but I'm gonna carve this. thing up let me go check back you know. next year in 2023 when you get ready for. the Olympics I'm gonna get ready for.

something oh I'll be 55 that's what I'm. getting ready for Double Nickel though I. got to be I got you got to be tight. [Music]. hey you tell me about me I kind of like. this mirror see see so you get this all. this natural lighting look at that so. you got so what you got right there you. got your serratus you got all these. shredded obliques all this stuff man. what you be doing man look at that man. you got a leg out look it got it. so you got that.

okay that ain't bad she said I don't. know man. I can get you in the comp. I got it I got an amateur show in Texas. would you. so so all right so no no no no go ahead. go ahead and I'm gonna help you. okay so right now you're doing this what. are you doing a backlash spread or. backed over by which one are you gonna. do I'll do it but double okay double by. okay. all right boom so you're gonna have that. leg back okay but you gotta Spike that.

calf then you gotta take that and you. got to have that okay you gotta sit down. on it you gotta sit down on a little bit. you gotta squishy Blues okay make sure. that you're doing that okay and then. that's the line that we want right okay. for the separation see how the calf got. right yes you had it like that we want. it like this okay so we got to come a. little higher up a little bit there you. go just like that the back shots are the. worst because there's so much that go on. right you got to pose everything yeah. and you can't see it so it's all about. repetition and feel so you can't come. here flexing that then you're gonna come.

here. you bring these elbows back just like we. were doing over there right you're going. to come here. and you're going to come down and then. watch How I Roll these shoulders and. last. oh okay and then I can come here and. then pump them like that and set it if I. really want to make it accentuate I'm. going to lift my chest up watch watch in. the mirror. okay and that's what we do when you. start seeing people do it and they start. shaking yeah because their muscles are. just not used to it right and they need.

so much repetition so when you see. people sweating on stage and stuff like. that it's because they haven't practiced. enough right so you have to go through. all so when you practice you practicing. up on the lights as if you would like on. the stage yeah so what I would do. after I train every day I get in the. mirror before I set up a tripod I feel. myself right and I start doing the. quarter turns so I start here. here. and then I quarter turn the whole thing. making sure that they can see everything. just like that but let me answer.

questions so when you quarter turn are. you flat or you so you're flat so so the. judges don't like it when you do that. even in the pros today so they want you. here. there you go and then I went and then. you Flex this there you go see how you. turn that shoulder in so you turn that. shoulder in like that and then you have. that ABS already tight and then. take a moment put your chest up a little. bit there you go and then you're gonna. look that way. okay and that's how you do a quarter. turn right there all right and then when.

you're facing the and then they oh [ __ ]. oh see uh I'm done I'm done I'm done. with that I'm done you already did that. but one of the other poses that we'll do. since I got this on okay is that we'll. do like a side chest so we come here. and then what I like to do is I if I'm. doing it this way okay I'm gonna use. this foot. and I'm going to stand with that toe. that big toe right here in the middle. right here okay okay so then move that.

foot a little bit up this one right. there right there now I'm gonna sit a. little bit back back back and that's. when you can see the hamstring hang a. little bit we're gonna work on them but. you've got it okay so we're gonna do. that I got rid of hamstring exactly so. they come here okay. all right and we bend down and then. right there. all right and then if we want like oh. like Vince Taylor you should do you come. here and then they come down like that.

and that's why working the upper pecs. right on side shots is so important. right so the quarter Turners and all. these other mandatory poses are to show. your strengths but also figure out the. weaknesses even like a quarter turn you. can see okay oh he's got triceps right. oh he's got the separation from front. Delta side okay he oh his chest is. striking braided yo he's got all that. going on yeah then he comes on this side. let's see on this side oh it looks. almost identical right so we could tell. that there's symmetry there all right so.

then. with the side chest we're coming here. some guys like to keep it up right here. yeah but I've noticed over the time. Franco used to do that and he instead of. a side like Arnold this was how Arnold. was on Campus High and then Franco would. come and then front Chestnut yeah and. it's kind of cheating right but if the. judge is rewarded it is what it is right. one of my favorite poses was always the. back poses but then also muscle. screwed back.

I mean come on. you come in there and you and you can. hit this one right here and you can hit. this one right here you can hit this one. right here and then you can come in here. and do that one. and what I love about this. and you did this a lot yeah you scored. touchdown you doing this yeah LeBron. James he's dunking on somebody he's. doing this where y'all learn this from. come on come on and that's why I love it. when we're doing all like this stuff. we're seeing all this stuff yeah. someone's flexing on somebody it's like.

you flexing on them bam that most. muscular that is a very powerful puzzle. yeah they call that pose out and that's. when the crowd go crazy yeah do you live. for the polls down when it says oh my. God. the pose down from me. is to remind these guys that. it's over it's on. I was a Tom Brady a bodybuilding man. they didn't want me to win no more right. they get tired of seeing the same and. there were seven consecutive years yes. when I lost going for number eight in. 2018 it didn't hurt.

um Shaq called he was there right he. called me he was with rock yeah he gave. me a great amount of encouragement Dave. Batista called Isaiah Washington called. I had some really good Brothers man that. hit me up that don't compete right and I. was very thankful for that they shared a. story of their own issues and and how. things they go their way and and I. needed that but as far as like the. bodybuilding Community yeah very few. people but I don't blame them because. how do you tell a person of my legacy. like how to feel right so I don't blame.

nobody I don't blame anyone like they. probably were trying to digest it too. like right I never thought you would. lose bro. [Music]. around. you. feel thanks for the workout. I really appreciate that I mean I've. heard of football players becoming. professional bodybuilders police officer. former police officers becoming. bodybuilders but basketball players. how why do you want to become a.

professional bodybuilder. um. primarily because I needed a new. challenge right and I had to acknowledge. at some point in time in playing. basketball and kind yeah not getting a. burn that I wanted right that those hoop. dreams are going to come to an end. pretty soon right and fortunately I had. a friend that was already competing. amateur right and was able to go to a. couple competitions next thing you know. I have a guest poser there saying I. should try it right so I said okay what. the heck what's the worst thing that can. happen if I try to do bodybuilding I'm.

gonna get in shape right cool I'm just. going to get in shape right and I. thought well maybe I can get in one of. these Men's Health magazines and stuff. because I thought I was being real man. light skin green eyes with a little bit. of muscles I might be able to make it. work but make a living up there yeah so. um I started doing it and actually you. know I was very blessed to make it a. career. you're from Seattle you grew up with. Jamal Crawford Nate Burleson Corey. Dillon Jason Terry you got us a. basketball scholarship to the University. of Denver yep so obviously and I tell.

people this all the time if you play. high school sport you have aspirations. normally of going to college and if you. play college sport you probably want to. play professional sports correct when. did you realize that you know what I. think given my height and giving the. situation I don't really think I'm gonna. be able to play in the NBA the sophomore. year. sophomore year I started seeing that. transition happen we had a couple new. guys come in a couple druco transfers. this and that and I'm like. this and then the writers on the wall. with the playing time right when your.

minutes go down and your production. isn't the same and no not getting the. game reps right the coach is making the. decision right and uh as much as I want. to fight that and work harder and ask. more questions of Coach what do I need. to do right I was that guy what do I. need to do what do I need to do and I. would do it and still didn't work out I. had to recognize that this is the team. not Phil Heath's you know team right and. uh I will say our coach did get fired at. Junior years so I was like well maybe he. was wrong right maybe I should have. played right but at that point new. coaching staff come in my senior year.

and what helped me make the transition. was that coach was brutally honest right. he said you know what I don't know what. happened but if it were me at your. freshman year you would have already. been doing XYZ for me right but what I. need you to do is be a leader to these. younger people you're a senior you are. groomed you understand film help me out. right and I will make sure that you. graduate whether it's four years five. years you want to be a grad assistant. I'll help you get a coaching gig and I. thought okay what's your alternative. well he said I'll make your life hell. that's it I'm choosing option one.

let's go make that happen and I'll be. honest you know comparing myself to. people like Jamal you know. you know other guys with jet and. everybody else that was tough right. seeing the million dollars you see them. make it you played against them yeah you. think well why not me right and uh I. didn't let my height be something. because I thought well I had a 40 inch. vertical I was I was an athlete right. but I had to be real. I had to be real and uh that that that. was very depressing at one moment but. you know God makes no mistakes man so I.

thought well let's just see what happens. if I close that door because it's. definitely going to close right that's. accepting and move on right like I said. bodybuilding opened up and man trust me. uh I didn't know I was going to make a. profession out of it going in I just. knew that it was going to help me deal. with the depression that I had not. making it to the league right for let. alone going overseas right and uh I I. like I said I had to make a a conscious. effort of saying. what's the best case scenario for me.

that would have been okay Phil you're. gonna go play ball overseas so let's. let's say five years now I'm 27 years. old 28 years old with no job experience. why'd I get these two degrees for right. now the people that I graduated college. with are going to be my boss right when. I should no I no there's more. millionaires at Microsoft than there are. you know in the NBA at the time and that. was when the GE was going on I said nah. this ain't gonna work man right because. this ain't gonna work you were a. shooting guard who would you compare. your game to dfish Derek Fisher okay all.

my homies would be like that's deep fish. right there right like uh playing with a. with a pro in high school with Jamal of. course he's getting them off of you and. I'd be left wide open I knocked down the. jumper because I knew I wasn't getting. that ball back if I did right so so I. made sure that I I could protect the. ball I was a really good Defender I was. very strong I could pass well and I can. get Defenders off of me with you know my. handle was good it wasn't spectacular. but it was good enough to not turn the. ball over and run the offense and I. wasn't never a liability on defense. right so that's where my game was.

you're the only. ex-basketball player that I know that. turned bodybuilder professional. bodybuilders do you think any other. basketball players who do you think. would make a great bodybuilder man. Nate Robinson would have been dope. when he was yeah that would have been. easy for him right current guys. game Dolly could do it I think. um. you know some of the guys are too tall I.

believe you know majority of them are. too small yeah they'd have to be pulled. up yeah majority of them are too tall. but I would say you know I always. thought like back when Tony Allen was. playing he was he was a specimen that. could do it yeah yeah absolutely you. know there were some guys back in the. day like you know Kevin Willis and Dave. oh yeah your shoulders yeah well cam. still works out like that uh he's in. Atlanta you know Shaq is really strong I. don't know I don't think she had to be a. bodybuilder he's just too tall yeah he's. strong he could put easily put muscle on. yep. you hear these stories about Wilt.

Chamberlain and about how strong he was. we know he was a great athlete yes he. ran track in college he High jumped he. long jumped he ran to open four. do you think he well he's too tall to be. a bodybuilder but what have you heard. about will because I think will actually. as a matter of fact before he passed I. was out here and I saw him pass right by. this very street that goes gyms on and. uh threw my hand up he waved back yeah. but. do you think guys like that because I. I'm thinking in my mind I'm like okay.

if you're a professional athlete. obviously you got discipline yes. obviously you know it sacrifice two of. the major things that you have to have. to be a professional bodybuilder 100. um. will would have been dope just to see I. I would have loved to just see him try. because you know me growing up watching. him in those Conan movies right I mean. you know he was still built yeah he was. uh you know back to other athletes maybe. not in basketball but like what about. football player what football players. you say Quan all day Quan can easily do. it okay those legs that everybody fawns.

over and stuff I mean what about Adrian. Peterson. for sure Le'Veon Bell no question DK. come on he's the only tall dude that. could probably easily do it right. like with ease right uh. you know obviously I come from the air. like growing up seeing a Dion Sanders. you could have done it for sure Bo. Jackson for sure. easy I mean come on man you. because now they have different. categories now so like where you may not.

do open class boxes yeah. I want to do the board shorts you can do. that yeah you could actually you could. do that now I could do the board shorts. I could do the board shorts yeah. uh do you train do you train athletes do. you want to get in that you know trained. for trained other professional athletes. like basketball players football players. uh the the issue I have with that is the. the ego with their crew it's the crew. that want to dictate what they do right. um and I don't want to disrupt anything. they have going on now I have some.

friends and you know in NFL MLB that's. not that DM me hey what do you think of. this this and this I'm there for them. right you know. um one of my really good friends is Tim. Grover we talk yeah talk to some of his. clients as well yes um would I want to. do that. uh I believe the person has to be. extremely coachable and I'm not saying. this for from an egotistical standpoint. they would have to come to me right uh. I'm a man of service so if they said hey. Phil like this is what I'm thinking or. if they let's say they're getting ready. for a photo shoot for a magazine you.

know digital magazine or something. this is what I've been told what do you. think. where can I meet you. fine I got you. um but yeah to say that's what I'm gonna. do now no because the egos man like I'm. gonna deal with some egos right and I. don't know. how they're going to accept the diet. right as well and then not partying. anymore right because look we already. know there's something you guys talk.

about on your show these guys go out and. it's hard you know I've talked to. different rappers and entertainers and. stuff I'll give them the diet it's on. the train but then I see on the IG. they're out three four in the morning. right so it's a waste of my time and I. don't like wasting my time right yeah. but I I think it would be really hard. for you someone that's so focused and to. because people want instant. gratification they want you give them a. program you train them and in two weeks. when I don't see any different right and. then they got their friends telling them. oh you don't need that you do this I'm.

like really. it takes time brother like let's let's. let's think about this but what I will. say is more athletes who are now retired. have come forward right because they. want to maintain right and they. recognize that hey. I've played football I played baseball. I'm interested in just getting healthier. this is what I heard what do you think. and I'm like I can be your consultant. now yeah how difficult is it to now that. you're not competing competitively for. you to maintain your weight maintain.

like okay. he was a bodybuilder I can I can see. even though he's not competing I can see. that he was a bodybuilder yeah so you. see a lot of athletes football. basketball players and they just that's. like a discipline I think I think they. also put their identity in just that. sport right for me yeah I won seven Mr. Olympia titles I'm I'm in my area I'm. definitely the go in my era right I know. that. but that's not who Phil Heath is right. that's not going to read on my headstone.

one day right it's going to read just my. name right and what my contributions are. to the world my biggest thing is I. always want to live a healthy lifestyle. right I want to I always would say I. want to be the black Jacqueline I want. to be able to do it all right I want to. show that just like I pivoted from. basketball to bodybuilding I should be. able to lose weight which I did I lost. 35 pounds I'm like 245 255 that I say. and that's my comfort right now. um if I wanted to do another show I. could easily blow up back up to 275 and. then come back down if I want to right. if I want to run a 5k that's one of my.

goals oh I want to be able to do that by. the time I turn 50 years old I'm 42 now. right I want to be able to say. I want to be able to run a 5k I want to. be able to do different stuff there's. different Feats of Strength that I want. to exhibit to show that I can do I'm an. athlete for the rest of my life. you know what I was just thinking um the. guy that would probably be the best. bodybuilder of them all of all the guys. we mentioned Teo. I think Tio has the best gifts.

so too and I know given the right. motivation he would do the work yeah oh. yeah he very he's very motivated very. motivated chip on the shoulder yeah. he'll do it yep you know. um he's definitely one yeah I didn't. even think about that Spirit sorry yeah. sorry about that Tio but yeah what about. boxers Mike Tyson Deontay I think. Deontay Wilder has them Deontay Wilder. but so long that he is long yeah Tyson. for sure easily yeah. um.

expense maybe Roy. Hagler easily Hagler for sure he was one. of my favorites uh because he was just. thick right you know um. I'm trying to think of some other cats. man like it's that's tough because you. don't have to be shredded to to box you. know. um. but I for Evander yes yes for sure yeah. because he had those round delts I mean. he was and he you could tell that he was. strong yes you could tell he was yeah he. worked out I mean leech Lee Haney.

trained it for a while and then he got. two months about it he needed to get. away from that type of training yeah. who's your favorite team when you watch. sport football who's your favorite. football team. um you know it just happened this last. week with Seattle and Denver man I'm. from Seattle I got to root for both I'm. fortunate that they're not playing in. the same you know conference same. division I know and being from Seattle. watching our bus get whooped every time. I mean we didn't have a spot at all so. it was great to for me it was great to.

move to Colorado and see you win a Super. Bowl and then still live there and see. another Super Bowl and then see Seattle. win one I'm happy those are my teams. like I always tell myself you're born in. one you resided in one. you can have to as long as they're not. in the same conference right I can pick. them right but I've met so many of these. athletes yeah from different teams I. root for the individuals non-stop you. know I just want them to uh. I want them all to win I I truly do and.

I want them to do it the right way and. uh stay healthy as much as they can. right you know we want them to to take. care of their bodies especially the off. season right you know more and less time. on the social medias right yeah what. about basketball who's your team who's. your player oh my gosh all time or just. now now oh now that's tough man because. I love LeBron man he's dope I've always. been a Laker fan even though growing up. Seattle but they took my team away so. you know they took my team away I'd say.

LeBron but then also. I like Dame dollar man yeah he's a dog. bro yeah. he's sticking with Portland like that's. the closest team from my hometown that I. can rock with you know I had season. tickets for the nuggets for the year so. I got to see a lot of good players right. um but I respect the Champions I respect. you know guys like Greek Freak you know. KD Lebron these are guys that I mean. god-given Talent Steph Curry for sure. I've been fortunate to see his game. evolve because I'm old enough to say it.

he's not a defensive liability he shows. so much confidence and in fact he's made. more people believe in themselves for. shooting that jump shot as far as he can. right so I mean those are like the guys. that I that I pay to watch right yeah. all-time favorite players who Jordan. Jordan all the time I mean for me it's. it's. I was yeah never thought. of seeing I was able to see him yeah. play against the sonics one time my.

stepdad had tickets and I got to see I. was like my jaw dropped I mean it was. just incredible you know. um. maybe young kids don't know but like it. was just an era yeah and and what I. loved about Jordan is that he prevented. epic guys from getting a title yeah epic. guys he shut it down and eat right but. number my one that's my 1A my 1B is. called. yeah because just the like Fearless yeah. he's Fearless like he's like no and you.

knew it like. ultimate competitor right ultimate. competitor I just love High competitive. people that will that will put it on the. line all the time and tell you what. they're gonna do and they do it Phil I. appreciate that bro all my life been. running all my life. sacrifice.
