please keep big dawg Phil as a regular on here
Sorry to be so off topic but does anybody know a way to log back into an instagram account? I stupidly forgot the account password. I would love any help you can offer me
@Reid Tommy instablaster :)
@Kayson Victor I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site through google and im waiting for the hacking stuff now. Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Kayson Victor It worked and I finally got access to my account again. I am so happy:D Thank you so much, you saved my ass :D
@Reid Tommy happy to help :D
best conditioning trainer ever
Best guest I've seen!
This guy needs to be on Rogan too. Best guest you all have had
Phil Daru is the man
Oh shit. Phil is where I get all my good workouts.
One of my favorite guest in recent history.
Purple belt is legit man! Good work.
Great interview! Phil also has a great KZhead channel with a lot of excellent training information for free!
What a fucking gem your guys' podcast is! Adam, I met you a while back when you were working out at Gold's on Bernal when you were getting ready for a show, I think right before you got your pro card. You gave me some helpful information and I always appreciated that. Glad to see you all doing big things! Looking forward to listening to the BJ Penn episode next!
Phil’s such a cool dude. His videos and knowledge are exceptional.
Underrated
36:56 this aged like a good wine 🍷
Phil is a juicer i can tell by his answers
So? I doesnt take away all the knowlege He has.
So weird watching this now and they talk about Jake then Tyon in the beginning. Bet they would have never saw that coming
Can you guys interview or get with Firas Zahabi
MMA guys on the juice were totally different fighters eg Vitor Belfort,Overeem,JDS..much more aggressive,much more explosive,. Post they were nowhere near the same.
