He smokes Cigars, which is a big difference from cigs. Cigarettes you deeply inhale..Cigars you either inhale very little, or not at all. So, its "bad" in that you get nicotine through the mouth / tongue but you don't dirty up your lungs like other things. Alcohol - is actually good for thinning out your blood and things like wine and beer have some good health benefits. The problem is an evening having 2-3 clean drinks (good bourbon, quality vodka + tonic, quality whiskey or beer) VS. jamming sugary mixed drinks , shooters or just 12-13 drinks down your throat at night..LOTS of alcohol dehydrates you and kills brain cells, but a couple beers isn't so bad.
It's the fucking best. After a lifetime of failed diets, I'm working out harder than I ever did, eating and drinking more than I ever did and the belly is only getting smaller.
you can compensate that in your 20s. its not functional in your 30s anymore, especiially when you cant sleep it of any more having kids/regular work hours and so on
It works when you're in college. It doesn't work after that. Which is why Pat Mac doesn't do this anymore. You can't out train the deleterious effects of alcohol.
Joe: " What do you do for recovery? Do you do cryotheraphy? ...do you have a sauna? Get a sauna!" Pat Mac:" I drink beer and bourbon and smoke cigars" ....Badass
This dude is the modern day Warrior Poet. Always prepared for anything, I like that...he lives in a state of preparedness. But he's not so hard core and up tight that he couldn't have a few beers and smoke a cigar. People freak out when they hear that but its not so hard to understand - when you keep yourself in good shape, a few beers or smokes won't kill you...matter of fact you won't even feel it! It seems folks more and more have a hard time with moderation. They either are 100% straight edge, no alcohol, drugs (including nicotine and caffeine) or they're 100% NO edge, like smoking all day, drinking every night, guzzling coffee, medicines, smoking p0t etc. You CAN keep in shape and ready, but also enjoy alcohol and a smoke on occasion.
Mac is the freaking man. His workout columns in Recoil were the best! That quart of water in the morning might have a lot to do with the bourbon the night before !
I have to say. Besides the content. This has got to be one of the best podcasts/RU-vid/talk shows simply because Joe Rogan knows when to not talk and isn’t constantly interrupting his guest speakers. Many hosts can learn from him when conducting a show and interviewing guest speakers.
Pat is so right on this, people obsess over the next best thing but if your diet is on point and you aren’t being a complete idiot with training your body adapts it’s an amazing vessel.
Yea the moment I stopped giving a shit and just gym + eat, leave it at that, got the best easiest gains. Some nights only 6 hours of sleep oh no oh god end of the world how do I RECOVER
People really think that you can't be in shape if you drink. I do intermitten fasting and drink every weekend and occasionally during the week. Been doing this for almost a year now and I got abs. It's just a matter of doing something that works for you (diet) and then just workout.
Pat is such a great and honest guy. I like the discussion at 4:00 and laugh at 4:10. He's right. Don't eat until you're full. And I gotta do more CST. Cheers.
I don’t know about getting a sauna. I have a small bathroom. I just take super hot showers after my work out. I get it so damn hot in there I can hardly breathe. Then I turn the cold water up and cool off. Works well for me.
In the full episode they talk about a spinal decompression device that hangs off a door. The full episode isnt available to me to ask this question on, so i am asking here... Anyone know which spinal decompression device in particular Joe is talking about ? theres a few out there, and id like to research more into the one hes specifically talking about.
What’s a quart? A litre? I do this every morning too, and the breakfast (if I have it), and the eat when hungry and stop before full. This is a Japanese concept too ...
I believe in a quart of water as well, but I do a pint before bed, and a pint right after coffee and breakfast. The pint at night before bed I see as a "post-flush" to give my body something clean to process all night. Cleaning out the pipes, so to speak. Love JRE and Pat Mac both, especially Basic Dude Stuff.
When I was working out really heavily dietitians would recommend all these different supplements, but during the recovery stage I would still feel the burn and agony even when I was due to lift and one time out of chance during my diet I just said instead of having a cheat meal I'll have a few beers, well all the pain and the burning in my muscles went away, So he is right beer does help with the recovery stage of working out, but you might develop a little kangaroo poach lol
I dont know about anyone else but I eat every single thing I crave BUT I skip dessert. That way I dont gain too much. I teeter between 180-190 throughout the year with sex being the main exercise lol and I always take the stairs
Can someone explain what a full quarter Water? Obviously he means drink water but how much is that? I’m English so not familiar with the term full quarter.
Funny how people think rogan is so into his guest when often he's just slinging shit at the wall to see what sticks lolol Guy just told him he's a functioning alcoholic and when he tells Joe he drinks a quart of water first thing in the morning "what's the thought process behind that" lololol Like its some big health mystery
Joe: gwt a sauna... ice bath... Pat: Ive gone after bad guys in The Jungles of the world As for ice baths again chasing Bad guys scuba in the Artic hours....any questions?
do you have a flatscreen? you must have a phone or pc to be commenting. home gyms can be set up for way less than the cost of those. you can literally workout with your own body weight. it just comes down to what is important to you. I , like Mr. Mac and Mr. Rogan want to be able to save someones life( my kids) and kick someones ass( anyone who would threaten my kids). Perspective my dude. Not everyone is like you.
I don’t believe someone one can get this type of body by just eating when he full or any shit like that he have to be counting the calories and if he don’t he must be on something .
Damn people are just built different… if drink 4 beers a night I’m hitting McDonald’s and then hitting the weed pen for days lolI. have to be completely sober to even be productive and even then it’s a struggle to get to gym 5 days a week. Respect tho man.
I smoked weed my whole life but just discovered edibles this weekend and I have a new love it's a slightly different feeling than smoking bowls and joints I like it better I started out with a 50mg bar the next 100 mg and the next day I wake up feeling great and refreshed smoking doesn't do that I also think edible pot is great for inflammation
