I like the idea that staying disciplined nurtures motivation, instead of needing motivation to stay disciplined. Makes so much more sense this way around!
Nailed it 👌
That's because staying disciplined is way harder than staying motivated
Three years ago I was at my lowest low. Life was bad. YT put Jocko’s Extreme Ownership Ted Talk in my feed, and it led me down the responsibility rabbit hole. Next I discovered Jordan Peterson, then Goggins. Then Pat Mac. These 4 men changed my life. Three years ago I was 51, working a $10 an hour job, and living in a hotel. My life had fallen apart 8 years before and I was stuck in the hole I had dug for myself. It was hopeless… I thought. These days I work out in some form 7 days a week, I’m making nearly $30 an hour at a new job, I’m growing, learning, and becoming a better person than I was the day before, every single day. Pat, if you ever read this, thank you. You saved my life. You saved my family. The inspiration you’ve given me and others cannot be underestimated or understated. You’re not just making people stronger, you’re saving people’s lives and creating a better tomorrow for us all by doing so, every single day.
Fuck yeah 🍺
Love how Pat always downplays and tries not to focus on being in Delta, always just emphasizes Special Forces.
Old School quite professional
People don't understand how much of a legend Pat is
No. Only you do because you're so special and unique 🙄
PatMac is seriously underrated. If only he never deployed and just jogged while dropping f bombs maybe more would know about him.
@@AllPainNoGainsyou can’t praise someone without hating on another in the same breath? What a sad mentality
@@AllPainNoGainsand what have you done ?
Planning creates predictability.. Predictability reduces stress.. Keep It Simple Stupid. Life is only as hard as you make it. Being my kids' and grandkids' superhero is my goal. PatMac is the dude!
Gotta stay motivated. Soldier like Pat keep this 70 year old Marine going
Been following Pat for a number of years now. Dont recall how i found him but it was like 8 years ago or something The best thing about Pat is the way he say things, like showing a sense of humour...like "GetYouSum Bands" and things like that, plus the no BS attitude. The way he is like, "ok, no gym, cool.... get outside and find some logs to lift" the practical side of it. And his basic dude stuff vids are a gospel for men. Dont learn it, KNOW that stuff lads !!!
As a vet who also got some wacky, very painful diseases (auto-immune arthritis and erythromelalgia!), I was down for the count for a couple years, thought I wouldn't lift or run ever again. It sucked watching my body, which was very highly fit when I was in the Army, turn soft. I recently got tired of that shit and just said fuck it, and got back to it. Going on 2 months of working out most days and it's going great!
someone of the coolest men out there HELL YEAH
Crazy to think that he's been struggling with PMR the whole time I've watched him... He's never seemed anything less than the one of the most energetic healthy motivated dudes ever. Holy badass, Batman.
Had no idea of your PMR condition--totally inspired by your perseverance through the physical and mental challenges of this and convicted by my weak excuses. Thanks PatMac for lighting a blaze!
I'm in my mid 40s, and have spent the last 19 years in a sedentary desk job which has completely wrecked my body. Found PatMac while researching range skills, and he's given me the motivation to get my meat suit back into fighting shape.
best “not a podcast” there is
Yeah, this one was masterful. Maybe it's Pat, because he is so multi faceted and interesting, but Juji did a masterful job directing the flow of the conversation.
This guy has a strong mind and a strong spirit. That's why they call them Special Forces. Because they are truly special.
Great interview. Love him mindset. So strong. Real metal grit in how workouts, diet, mental/physical recovery, and overcoming his health issues.
"discipline will trump motivation any day" - This is exactly what I say to anyone who asks how to stay motivated.
Yeah!!!!
Just like trump trumps Biden any day.😂
Discipline equals Freedom
How is discipline not just a different form of motivation? I feel like they are both the same thing on a different spectrum.
@@oongieboongie discipline means you do the work even if not motivated. You take the need of any mental state out of the equation and do the work regardless.
One of my most enjoyable mental activities is wondering what I'm going to do tomorrow for my workout. I do this every night before I fall asleep. It keeps me motivated and creative because I always like to think of different ways to workout...
so dope to see you two together.
I used to be a track guy. I had to stop the video & comment just to emphasize how respectable a 56 second 400m is. Anything under a minute is pretty damn damn good. Anything under 50 seconds is approaching the elite of the elite levels.That 55-60 second range takes some serious toughness, especially for a bigger dude. I always liked the 400 because as long as you could work harder for longer, you could be super competitive.
Facts man!
I will try sprinting. Ridiculous, that only sprinting i had to do in my whole life was in 5th grade, and it was 60m. School system has failed to teach anything about sports.
Been watching Juji with Shaw and others over time. Mad respect that you sat with P-Mac as he’s one of my biggest motivators of all time. He’s humble, wise, and honest - real. “Basic” badass Dude.” 👍
This guy gets it. Love the attitude.
More PatMac is always a good thing
44 y/o now and am in better shape than when I was an Active Duty Infantryman through my 20s, no question!! Train smart, train consistant, and get yourself better!
training smart is not easy nowadays, do some tips xD
@@miroslavmusalek9194use the Internet
This is total treat
You are looking healthy , I admire you and what you stand for . God bless you and your family thank you for your service .Please keep putting out videos I love them .stay strong !
Pat Mac You are the man
Excellent podcast. Pat is the man.. i've followed him for years.
Really Really appreciate this guys .
It's not about motivation. It's about discipline.
Yes. Motivation says whether or not "you're gonna do it." Discipline is whether or not you actually DO IT. 🙂
This was a great interview.
Yes juji so far so good loving it.
Love this guy. A true American Bada$$. Respect and thank you sir, for your service!
Great video and interview always good listening to Pat Mac
Love Pat Mac. What a DAWG
Pat is such a good human and a great warrior! 🇺🇸💪🏼🙏
Great questions great answers 💪💯🙏
This man was a breath of fresh air to have on, great interview juji 🤙🏼
I remember him from the JRE he did, after your workout vid I checked out all his stuff and he seems like a great guy
Thank you!
What a great guy
This was awesome. Both great guys, with great attitudes.
Yes juji mate love from the UK 😊
Man you are an excellent interviewer. Very natural.
Pat Mack is a Bad Dude !!!!!!! Love Him
Loved these JoN
TRUTH. Freaking Awesome Dude. Thank you for sharing ❤
great inspiration from these guys.....................................
His mindset make really sense
Great man👏👏
That's one cool dude.
Pat reminds me of that one uncle you have that is a real badass and is cool at the same time!
such a sick collab. shout out delta. you guys got some sick chemistry together too. buncha goofballs
Impressive. Juju is a great interviewer. Probably the best so far on KZhead
Amaze experience 👍🏻
Great guy.
That conversation was short, I could have listened for another hour at least.
Brilliant
Pat your have excellent tips
I have to agree with you about being your fittest in your 40s. I'm 42 and feel like I can get into shape way faster then any point in my life .
Just recently started using an infrared sauna, they’re no joke! Highly recomend
I found Pat in 2020. The first video I watched was about Charlotte. I read SENTINEL. Every time I have to do sth that annoys me "just basic dude stuff" crosses my mind and I get it done. I use a white board for some things and a black board for other things. Meanwhile, "5P" is pretty known among my fellows. Pat is the uncle every boy needs.
Poor Bob, just standing there stoically awaiting his next punishment.
Glad to hear him say 44-46 was the fittest he’s ever been. Just turned 30 and after 10 years of training the PRs have slowed and seem to have more injuries (both previous and new). Was starting to think maybe the best was behind me but this gives me hope there is more in the tank
Interesting what Mac said about peaking in our 40s. In my mid 40s I did 28 pull-ups, my BP. Never thought about the peaking thing. Metal Up🤘
Gret content man!
I don't even recognize that dude without his long hair and the other guy Pat is absolutely legend what's the legacy that you can hold up to 💯
The real workout is when there's a thunderstorm, and Pat Mac has to put all that workout equipment indoors.😆
He said he leaves it out in the rain 🌧️
Buy his coffee is unbelievable!
Pat Mac is the f**king man!
I love this mind set, most people don't know but Gong Fu simply means Hard Work. Become comfortable being uncomfortable.
In the Interest of staying young in the body into 90's plus years, My Tai Chi instructor said The Chinese Masters would gage the age of a Martial Artist body by 3 measures. 1. Elasticity of the skin, maintained mainly with the Qigong practices. 2. Strength/Flexibility of the spine. 3 For how long can you practice continuous martial arts movements in a low to the ground stance as in thighs parallel to the ground stances, a good goal is 30 minutes to an hour. Also I would also add all the grips hand/forearm/finger/toe/foot/calve strength, good for the central nervous System to train the hands feet and spine.
Another decent natural anti-inflammatory is rose hip. Jam or tea is pretty tasty. It's not going to cure anything all on its own, but it helps.
Great podcast. I have a chronic spinal pain disease and rely on SS and God only. First eating healthy IS expensive on a very small limited income but I do what I can. Also, ringworms is a fungus and can be treated with Monostat (yes the feminine product for yeast infections). Ask me how I know! Thanks for sharing!
Fitness not brokenness. 100% accurate the older you get.
I'm proud of 2 things I've done today: 1. I pooped 2. I successfully identified a Taran Tactical +1 or +2 magazine extension in the pistol, sitting on the table, in the background behind PMAC.
40:00 Lots of my male friends and I in our 50s have been suffering the same. We've all done some sort of military service, tired, pain, arthritis and even diabetic thought we don't drink sodas or eat loads of crap. Sometimes I'll wash the dishes and need a 15 minute nap. Before my 50th I was training hard to join up for the Dad's Army but some days it's hard enough to walk let alone do the assault course. 😂 But getting better as I'm getting off all the meds they were pumping into me.
We need more podcasts outdoors like this that don't have the surname "Paul" attached to them.
Agee Pat. I managed my three ironman finishes in my mid forties. It took years to build up the stamina and the mental strength to get there. Now, in my 60`s I look back with pride and wonder how the hell I managed them. Still workout though.
The guy looks like James Hollingshed in the thumbnail 😎
that's interesting, because most long distance runners actually peak at 45
Nice
Solid, This just sounded like a couple dudes just talkin. Didn't sound forced, Good flow.
we gotta get buugz and pat in the same room
GituSome coffee and stretchy stuff.
Similar style, im a creator. I just wanna work out, go the gym, and start doing, and body tells me what it needs and what it dont need. I try to learn as much bodyweight moves as possible, so i have a wide variation of exercises. Sometimes it is basic moves, "heavy" weights, sometimes more cardio, sometimes not at all. Variying between very basic moves and difficult ones, not forgetting weighted stretches and mobility. Jogging sometimes. I might work out hard 20 h/week for three months, then slow down for months. And start over again. Hardest part really is to not do another set or exercise even when you feel like you're superman at the moment. It sucks. It's like coitus interruptus. But it is necessary. What got me at this point was work related shoulder problem, that i started to fix, and that i have no more money to my favourite sport anymore.
Dont forget The Bioneer
Where can you find Pat’s detailed training program?
That ‘65 GTO…
Did he get a chance to talk about his bands?
I'm 6ft4 and I'm 40 years old. It frustrates me when people say "once you hit 40 it's over! you can't get into great physical shape!" Yet I've seen, on this channel, men and women in their 50's with incredible fitness and physique! It's total bullcrap to say it's not possible. Eating doesn't have to be expensive. My local supermarket has "REDUCED" meat twice a week, meat that needs to be consumed within the next couple of days. I bulk buy that and put it in my freezer. It's mostly beef but I've gotten into the habit of stockpiling meat in my freezer. So, when I go to the supermarket, I'll buy 8 chicken breasts and a LOT of beef like steak, etc. then put it in my freezer. Heck I'll even buy enough salmon to last a week just to mix it up up but I don't eat salmon every day as it's apparently not good for you to do that. I feel that knowing that you don't have a stable backup of protein/meat can kinda be a bit depressing because it's such a fundamental staple in ones daily meals. Eggs and meat are a part of my daily eating habits. I eat 4 to 5 meals a day and they all have protein in them. Even if I can't afford meat one week, I'll make sure I have enough eggs because I've learned just how important protein is and how damaging it can be to the body not to consume it regularly.
I suffer from Fibromyalgia. It is a brutal, life altering disease that centres around a highly sensitized pain system and pathological CNS function. The fallout from exercise is terrible. Unimaginable pain from head to toe, there is nowhere it doesn't hurt. Fatigue, headaches, allergies, shortness of breath, sound, smell and weather sensitivity, and for me very bad stiffness. Symptomatically very similar to Pat's illness. It has been on and off for nearly twenty years, but since 2020 has been the worst I have suffered. I feel only now I am beginning the long haul back. I've done it before, and know I will have to do it again as it's incurable. Pat is an inspiration.
I was at my Best 50-52
💪💪👍👍
Which infrared sauna?
over here watching this while shot gunning Doritos... god i need to start lifting heavy shit
Don't just say it. Put the chips down,get off your fat ass and lift heavy shit. Go buy a bag of potting soil at Lowes. Pick that bag up and walk around your yard with it. Do that every day. Now is the time to start.
I find the REAL spec ops guys (UKSF, Delta, etc) are all lovely. They'll tell you spanner stories (stories that'll tighten your nuts!), but there's no glorification of the very hard job done well.
Been toying with this idea that consuming a lot of water and hydration in general is a sign of acidity. I avoided acidic foods for a 90 day cycle and found that I actually didn't need nearly as much water with the same amount of work. I just found myself thinking one day, how would this possibly be sustainable in nature where survival is priority? They made us drink gallons of water everyday in the Army so I just assumed that was necessary. But now I'm thinking that it's only necessary to dilute the acidity in your system. Hydration is important, but it should be for the right reasons, not to correct or compensate for a eating habit or lifestyle choice.
You overthinking
@@finestnostalgiawhat's to overthink? Cut out acidic foods, drink less water. I maintained the experimental water intake and then reintroduced the old diet and sure enough, terrible cramps, especially in the mornings in the calves and feet. Simple really and something I experienced in the military during a course was too much water intake. Too much and your electrolytes will dilute and that's even worse than not having enough water. Think acids in general are a bad idea as cancer also thrives in acidic conditions.
hey how's ur hair goin, i wanna do the same
They really hammered hard to start while you're young. If im a dumbass and did nothing until Im 38 how lost of a cause am I?
38's young. Forget the past and Get After It!
This could have been 3 hours long.
