How did you balance your ego out of Alabama? Because I'm sure everywhere you went, you were the man. It wasn't hard for me because I didn't play as much as most guys. You know, the fans pump you up. Football in Alabama is literally a religion. You can go anywhere in the state of Alabama. Football's life. Yeah, it really is. Like, it's at a different level.
I don't know if there's anywhere else in the country that's like that.
All right, guys, Digital Social Hour in Nashville. We got Mac here for today. Thanks for having me, man. Dude, I'm excited to be here in Nashville with you and glad you can make it out here. Dude, I can see why you live here now too after being here for a day. It's pretty lit. I tell people all the time, Nashville is a great city.
Yeah, and I know you're big on sports and you got a crazy sports background, which we'll get into, but you're still really active training.
Yeah, so I train all the time. I train four times a week with a guy named Justin Todd at a gym called Athlos. Talked to you a little bit about it before the pod, but he has a unique training style, always gamifies stuff, makes it competitive and train with a bunch of pro guys.
And it's like, I don't know, I feel like I'm in better shape and my body feels better now than it did like four or five years ago. Wow. So you were playing football in Alabama four or five years ago, right? Yeah, I was playing in Alabama. And you know, we were lifting every single, you know, three times a week, and also doing practice. And it's like, I felt great, then don't get me wrong.
But I just think there's like a change in the way I've been working out now from then, like,
originally in college football you know it's a lot of heavy lifting a lot of olympic lifts and a lot of weight you're moving um along with you know as well just um the training like of practices and so now moving towards today the training i do you know we do about 45 minutes of some kind of competitive game some kind of competitive movement uh and mobility and then we get into the gym and it's like
I don't know. I don't even know how to describe the lifting. We had so many hands on deck at Alabama that after I graduated, I didn't even know how to lift because they just always told us what to do. Wow. So they were really hands on with you personally or in group settings? In group settings.
