I like accidentally got rhabdo despite like being very aware of how that happens.

And then I'm out there doing all the farm chores.

And because my arms are so blown up, you can't straighten your arms.

I was leading my horse around.

I'm leading this 1,200-pound thoroughbred with my bent arms like this.

She steps on my foot, breaks two of my toes.

So now I'm out here doing all my farm chores with rhabdo and broken feet.

Gosh.

It's like, okay, my...

My drive to go and like perform like an idiot has negatively impacted my ability to show up on the farm.

So I'm like kind of finding this happy medium of training to stay fit enough and strong enough to do all of the things necessary on the farm, but not just wearing myself out.

Yeah, I mean, a lot of farm work, it's basically you're just replicating...

the gym is basically replicating all of the manual labor that goes into running a farm.

Like I don't, I don't need to push sleds or pull sleds or anything.

I've got 1200 pound chicken coops that I push.

I got six of those that I push twice a day.

I'm chasing sheep around.

I'm walking like 25, 30,000 steps a day around the farm.

And you know,

You don't need to spend so much time in the gym whenever you create a lifestyle that affords you that ability, I guess.
