    • @RandomPerson-nd2ey
      @RandomPerson-nd2ey Год назад

      ​@@brandonvise8879 it varies on your values and reasoning, basically priorities. Like he pointed out in the interview, a big reason he did it was for his kid. With that as his motivation, there was no stopping him and not much motivation to do anything else besides training.
      I'm different than him but I understand what he means. I work 50-70 hours a week and am all business during that but it's for my family. When I go home, it's all family time. I'm spending as much time as possible creating memories with my wife and kids.
      I've met others who have similar schedules but different priorities. Instead, one guy just wanted to prepare for WW3 or whatever conspiracy theory was his latest kick. He'd exercise like that would make a difference... I'm just saying, if there's a Globalist Government dictatorship then it wouldn't make a difference how much he worked out because they have things like AC-130's, drones, missiles, etc. Anyways, his family life suffered.
      The most important thing in my view is to align your priorities with what is most important so that you are spending your time on what is most important.

  • @akamu95b31
    @akamu95b31 Год назад +16

    Respectfully disagree just a tad. No hate, it isn't a bad mindset and i deeply respect Santino and his work ethic, but Miz is an example of an alternative. I believe it was a workout with Sheamus, but he was talking about how he's never gotten injured and spoke about not going as hard in the gym like his co-workers mainly to avoid injury and burnout, but also to listen to his body, know it's limits and not overwork it. Granted, he's not doing flips & stuff like Ricochet, but he still works hard and puts on a good show. Neither one is wrong, just giving my two cents.

    That analogy sucks. Training your body and mind to your maximum potential in the hopes of starting a career as a pro wrestler doesn’t really equate to whether or not you can afford to buy overpriced “luxury” merchandise. So by his logic, a spoiled rich brat who drops $15,000 on Louis Vuitton without a second thought is equivalent to someone such as DDP (who was in his mid-30s when he started training to be a pro-wrestler)?
