[00:00:00] Carl Lanore: [00:00:00] Welcome back to another episode of super human radio. Today is November 12th, 2020, and we have an extra special show today. Really. First of all, I've loved doing muscle saves lives for close to 10 years now. Um, it's a really important show and it really started out because I felt that the medical orthodoxy and most people think that the noble.
[00:00:26] Um, effort to build and maintain muscle was, was a selfish narcissistic thing to do. And over the years we know that muscle contributes a great deal of benefit, uh, metabolically. And finally, science is starting to catch up with what we knew in this audience, 14 going on 15 years ago, but more importantly, the extrinsic effect of muscle.
[00:00:52] Uh, allowing you to do things that save other people's lives. We've talked about people who have lifted stuff off of other people. We've talked about people who [00:01:00] were able to withstand the ravages of cancer because they, they went into the illness, so fit so strong and they maintain their muscles that when they kicked it, they went right back to normal life.
[00:01:11] Um, Or these types of stories where someone was put in a situation where it would have killed, uh, perhaps any mere mortal and it didn't. And that's going to be the story today with Ollywood and just the more, uh, he will be joining us all the way from New Zealand where it's already Friday morning. So I'm going to ask him for the lottery numbers now, and hope to buy a ticket today and when tomorrow, but anyway, and then later in the show, we're giving away a $6,000.
[00:01:39] Infrared sauna from a good health sauna to one lucky winner. We will announce that later in the show. So it's really a great show. I kind of, I love this show. I love the theme of this show. Let's bring Ollywood on and get him miked up. How you doing Ali?
[00:01:56] Olly Wood: [00:01:56] Hey Kelly. I'm doing well. Thank you.
[00:01:57] Carl Lanore: [00:01:57] Welcome. Welcome to the show and thank you for doing this today.
[00:02:00] [00:02:00] Um, so. Let's start at the very beginning. First of all, with you. So you, you, you, you're a personal trainer. You're, you're a lover of physical culture. When did your love of physical culture begin for you?
[00:02:13] Olly Wood: [00:02:13] Yeah, man. So I, uh, I think it's always been there, uh, you know, through high school and uni, um, I think most of us were probably the more hyperactive Titan couldn't sit still.
[00:02:24] So through high school, very early on, you know, I was doing those triathlons and getting into just any sort of physical activity occurs. Um, And obviously with that, I noticed pretty quickly that, you know, you couldn't just rock up on, on game day and get a good result. They had to be some sort of training there.
[00:02:40] So that was built in pretty quickly around sort of 14, 15. Uh, so obviously that was more the runs and the cycling and everything. Cause we lived, uh, out in the country, but more. And, but very early on, I noticed that that started to improve my results associated with the rices in regards to triathlons at the time, uh, from that, [00:03:00] uh, high school for me was a boarding school shipped over the other side of the country and, uh, that, that dove deeper into, uh, like rugby and rowing and model these activities.
[00:03:08] It, um, and I noticed with the, again with the rowing, right. I could, I could do the rowing. I mean with the crew and if I want to be better, what else could I edit? Right. So again, it was noticing a very repetitive pattern, like rowing. There's going to be muscle imbalances and tweaks here and there that come through pretty quickly, you know, so getting into the whites and just starting to, you know, typically you take your bicycle wheels and truck chassis, push downs, and it's probably not going to help your, uh, rowing on that much.
[00:03:36] But it's funny anyway. That's starting to add a bit more of that resistance training and just bringing a base that I knew was helping, uh, the rowing and these other sports we've been doing. Right. So that was, that was building me through the cruise. I was standing it up to the top baits and, uh, you know, put before the year that I was in that Pru, uh, starting to see the improvement, just doing that extra sweat equity outside of my normal sessions.
[00:03:59] Uh, that [00:04:00] broadly became the main focus because I initially, and this will obviously tie into the, the crash down the line. But, uh, I start, I dislocated my shoulder was a couple of times through, uh, rolling snowboarding and everything in between probably came out of it six, seven times. So pretty early on, uh, I realized that I was going to have to be relatively intelligent with my tracking.
[00:04:18] I couldn't just slick shit around. I had to make sure that I was contracting and building this balanced instructional integrity back into how I was moving. So the white training became a very big dice of that because I'm more admin assisting if I wanted to get back and be at a high level with my rowing, uh, it certainly, wasn't going to continue with the rugby, with everything continuing to break.
[00:04:37] And, uh, that became really the base. So, you know, working with you. Diving in and working with mentors early on. So we head off see John Meadows on the podcast not long ago and works closely with his team. As well as beam Kolsky and a couple of others to really just get an awareness of that, move an aspect of training.
[00:04:53] Right. So make sure that, okay, I want to do this for a long time. I want to make sure my body is actually on my side. And that became a big part of intelligent training. [00:05:00] And that's obviously what we use with all of our clients now is this idea of, you know, you don't want your body to hold you back. And you said that in the intro is the reason we train.
[00:05:08] It's not necessarily just for our own necessity itself. It's because we want to show up as their best and we don't want our body holding us back. Right. So building that. Based on that strength is what really build that throughout. And obviously you have just continued on that path of, uh, making sure that, that, that stayed together, build that strength, build that base and make sure whatever platform would that be in the business field or, or sporting.
[00:05:28] There was always that base of that white training that allowed me to show up as my best and make sure I had that, that routine. I had their streets and obviously that's, they showed an all to get all these other areas.
[00:05:38] Carl Lanore: [00:05:38] And now you, you actually train other people too now, right?
[00:05:41] Olly Wood: [00:05:41] Yeah. Yeah. So I was a personal trainer in a gym for a good six and a half, seven years.
[00:05:45] And you obviously built a very successful business up in Wellington New Zealand. And I've been online for about the last two, two and a half years. And we were coaching about 18, 19, probably a hundred. Clients, it's the MBA online here for, in New Zealand and Australia. [00:06:00] So we do focus a lot more on that.
[00:06:02] You triple and gut health side of things as well, but, uh, you know, a big part as we dive into really getting these guys moving is obviously until it intelligent training with us, right. And a big part of that is making sure that you can stay strong and contract muscles and make sure that you have the stability so that in your 50, 60 seventies, plus that stays together.
[00:06:19] Right. We work with exclusively. You've got men over 35, 40. So we want to make sure they're not jumping around doing burpees and pushups the whole time and banging up their elbows. We want to know that they are actually contracting those muscles rather than the joints falling apart. So that has always been, you know, what I learned through my own injury and kind of falling apart, there has definitely been a big part in working with our clients and knowing that like, if you want to do this long time, you want to, you're putting your still feel and look right at 60 70, then you need to make sure there's that basic resistance training.
[00:06:45] Carl Lanore: [00:06:45] Yeah, no, I know. And I, I, I can, I can, uh, um, endorse what you just said being 62. Now I know that there's a lot of things that I have that the, my sheer ability to muscle through, uh, that I learned from heavy [00:07:00] weightlifting is paying me in dividends now, because as you get older, you know, I said something one day and somebody got really mad at me on Instagram.
[00:07:09] I said, you know, don't ever take anti-aging advice from anyone under 50. And I didn't mean doctors. I meant there's a lot of these YouTube stars now they're in their twenties and thirties, and they're telling you about anti-aging and it's absurd because I thought that because I've hosted the show now going on 15 years, that I would be the one person.
[00:07:29] That would never develop any type of elements as I age and Whoa, am I wrong? But the beauty is that I am so used to lifting heavy stuff and managing stress and managing discomfort that I can still live my life at the fullest. Now, if I wasn't the guy I was for the past 20 years. I'd probably be taking, you know, and CEDS and complaining about my pains and complaining about this and about that.
[00:07:55] But there's, there's such a there's there's so, so such [00:08:00] pleiotropic benefits from resistance training that go beyond anything anyone can even imagine. And as science goes on, we keep unraveling more and more and more of it. Uh, it's it's really something that, and sadly, throughout evolution, we didn't need an artificial.
[00:08:18] Uh, exercise to move. You know, we had to lift heavy stuff. We had to carry stuff. We had a hunt, we had to gather, we were moving. We didn't have luxurious homes where you just stayed home and sat on the sofa, watch movies and played on the, you, you, you only went into your home to sleep at night. The rest of the time you spent outdoors in the sunlight, by the way.
[00:08:41] And we're so far removed from what we were built for, for millions of years, that it's, uh, it's astonishing that we've even survived this long is as far as I'm concerned, but, um,
[00:08:54] Olly Wood: [00:08:54] there's, that's brought down, right? You're not hunting and gathering. You're not moving around. That's when you, you age much quicker.
[00:08:58] Right. So if you're not having that constant [00:09:00] challenge on the body, then good luck feeling good because that's going to waste away pretty
[00:09:03] Carl Lanore: [00:09:03] quick. So you have lots of hobbies, right? So one of your hobbies is, is a sport bike racing, right? You've got, what do you have a Yamaha Kawasaki? What do you have?
[00:09:12] Olly Wood: [00:09:12] Yeah, this one's a, I've been through plenty of bikes and obviously the, I think I've done every, you know, trying to do every sport under the sun.
[00:09:18] I was the guy that threw it again. Like I said, through school, uh, even from triathlons to the rugby, to the rowing, to, uh, you know, things like canoe polo and rock climbing, just to get out of it, you know, homework time. Right. You'd make sure you did everything right. Um, but that's kind of continued and now being.
[00:09:32] Yeah, kind of moving through, just making sure there's always an activity there. So there's always been that basis of weight training, uh, to make sure that everything's strong and, and, uh, I've kind of got that normal routine, but I think it's just, uh, having a challenge outside of that. Right. So there'll always be some skiing, snow skiing, water skiing, um, every year, uh, being a 105 kilos that can sometimes take a little bit to be pulled out of the water, but we'll do it anyway.
[00:09:56] And we'll do the mountain biking. We'll do the, uh, the [00:10:00] track racing around the track. Um, There's gotta be a reason, right. That Kim's to move around a bit. My, probably someone that just, you know, I don't just put one toe in the water. I make sure it's, it's fully in. Um, and I, I do, I've probably been through about 14 bikes, about three years, uh, just swapping around, finding, you know, what's going to really fit at both sides, the, on the road and track, uh, obviously with you saying you, you.
[00:10:20] Uh, into the blocking as well. Um, you can tell these there's a difference between pushing a black hard on the Trek and what you need it for on the road. Yeah. So going everything full track rice, as it extends to a more, um, road where, uh, subjects or something along those lines. So I was on a, some Ricky GCCX is 1000.
[00:10:41] Carl Lanore: [00:10:41] So when we talk about this type of racing, so I want the listeners to understand, um, top speed on straightaways and this type of racing can be as much as 200 8,300 kilometers an hour or
[00:10:56] Olly Wood: [00:10:56] a 200 miles
[00:10:57] Carl Lanore: [00:10:57] an hour for those of us in the Imperial world. [00:11:00] So this was just an average day. Right? How often do you, how often do you take your bike down to the track and race?
[00:11:06] Olly Wood: [00:11:06] Yeah, we're probably get it. Then about six, seven, maybe eight times a year. If we're lucky, this was just a track sort of fun day. Um, so it's not a competitive as at,
[00:11:15] Carl Lanore: [00:11:15] was it a competition race, right?
[00:11:17] Olly Wood: [00:11:17] Yeah. But you still got the same speeds, right? You still want to, I'm still tracking the times on my phone.
[00:11:21] I'm still trying to get my lean angles on. I'm still trying to nail those quarters. Um, so everything was there and on a bike that was very capable of those speeds. You just mentioned. Uh, this track was a bit more of a, um, being New Zealand. They're not the massive tracks that you have on there. Uh, we're probably maybe maxing out about two 20 to 30 on the streets, Ks and kilometers per hour.
[00:11:41] Um, But again, you know, a space to break things for sure.
[00:11:45] Carl Lanore: [00:11:45] Okay. So, uh, this was just an average day. The weather wasn't inclement, right? It was good weather, sunny day, sunny day. And you, and you're just getting and going to do what you always do. This, there was nothing, no premonition. [00:12:00] There was nothing that you said, wow.
[00:12:01] Today may be a bad day. You're just out there cruising around and having a great time. Right.
[00:12:05] Olly Wood: [00:12:05] Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It was a first time with that bike on the track. Um, in these zucchinis, uh, they, uh, this particular bike has been built out from the, uh, what was supposed to be a really well known 2005, 2006 race engine.
[00:12:18] So very, very capable on the strikes. I had a ton of power, but obviously, as you may know, with the Suzuki is they are, they've got all the power in the world, but they tend to, to make this bike in particular, they're going to cheap out on a couple of parts and not see the you've got still got Brembo brakes.
[00:12:33] You still got a couple of things in there. Yeah. But, uh, things like, uh, the brake lines, things like the suspension, uh, made for the road. Right? So unless you use that to spend another couple of grand on, on brakes and suspension, which I hadn't done. Cause again, I was just a fun day. It wasn't a free race day.
[00:12:48] Right? We were just pushing that black hard and obviously being around about a hundred, five kilos being a very warm, you know, it was a perfect day in regards to racing. Um, you know, essentially what, what happens is if [00:13:00] that brake fluid is not always updated and you know, you probably want to update it every two track days and.
[00:13:06] Yeah, unfortunately, because that's rubber in the brake lines has made for road. Only that stuff starts to flex and bend and the oil starts to heat up. Right. So what is supposed to be brake fade and you start to notice that things, um, Would start to notice a bright kind of going spongy. You'd start to notice that coming through.
[00:13:25] Right. It sort of went from one corner being 100% there, things going great. I was hitting some really good track times, uh, to coming down one of the main streets around about that 200 K an hour, which is around 120 miles per hour. Right. Um, you know, just hit the corner, you know, as you know, with bikes, they're pretty light.
[00:13:42] They, you break as late as possible. So you're pretty much at the corner. And then I realized that there's no breaths, right. So you've got. Uh, probably about two meters of track lift. Then you've got some kitty litter which should dump the bike if, um, you have any front brakes, because I did that, [00:14:00] I had about 10 seconds to, um, kind of decide what was my next steps, uh, hitting the, you know, going that sort of speed towards a wall with no brakes in itself is, is going to be pretty scary.
[00:14:09] Um, But what I really was able to do. And, uh, I don't know really where that came through, but it was kind of straightaway. It's pretty obvious you have two choices, right? Like one you're gonna hit the wall. See what sort of happens that way. Or two, you're going to try jump yourself off the bike at 200 K an hour.
[00:14:23] Um, either way didn't sound all that attractive, but I did have enough time to, uh, you know, press on that back. Brake dropped down. I think it had one gear list lift. So that managed to get a couple K's off me. Um, but essentially we were going, you know, about a hundred, 110 miles per hour into a, uh, a wall.
[00:14:40] Uh, luckily, uh, what I didn't know at the time, honestly go next feet. I thought it was concrete, but it was sort of three rows of tires. Um, so that did click the bike up quite nicely. But what I did is obviously at the very last second that I actually jumped up, uh, to make sure that I wasn't hitting that wall with the black probably would have broken both my legs and all sorts of, of things.
[00:14:59] Um, [00:15:00] So w w what happened next? Obviously I blacked out, um, I didn't work out in that position on the ground. Um, what I, I later found out was about a hundred feet horizontally and 26 feet vertically. So I fear I'll jump. Um, and if you've seen the photos I've seen on my Instagram, that was, uh, you know, cleared the Thai wall, cleared her for him.
[00:15:20] Carl Lanore: [00:15:20] Yeah. You went right up and you went right over an embankment and then down the Hill was where you finally land. So while linearly, it was like 30 yards from where you hit the wall. It was much further when you consider that you went in an arc and then down below the track, because the track is up here and you landed on a, on a, on, on the outside, outside of the track, down on, down on the ground, which, you know, you would have to expect.
[00:15:48] So, okay. Before I get there, so. You were, you were pretty much laying the bike down at that point in time, right. That the wheels were facing the embankment and you're riding the bike back here. Right. And so then you leap [00:16:00] up the bike, hits the wall and you just keep on going, which was brilliant in my opinion, because if you would've stayed on the bike, you definitely would've gotten hurt more because the bike would have become a projectile against your body at some point in time.
[00:16:13] Um, but, but you were in that leaning position. At that point in time. So just having that,
[00:16:20] Olly Wood: [00:16:20] yeah, it was not provided. So obviously what I was doing is before you dumped the bike into the corner up, so you'd provide a break and then sort of roll everything in. I hadn't quite got to that point cause there's no breaks.
[00:16:28] Right. So I was still getting straight, straight forward. There was very little breaking or, you know, probably only lost 20 miles an hour off the bike before it hit the wall.
[00:16:35] Carl Lanore: [00:16:35] Uh, okay, so you, you fly over this Hill, you land down in this and bank mint and you're, you're not even conscious at this point in time, you don't do you, so you remember up to the point where you're leaping off the bike, or do you just remember up to the point where the bike looks like it's going to hit the tires?
[00:16:53] Olly Wood: [00:16:53] Yeah, Justin, Justin, as the blocks about it had the ties. So, uh, you know, going back and the guy told me, um, the bike [00:17:00] itself, again, amazingly the bike hasn't ended up all that bad because luckily there was three rows of at, I just had my parts around the other day, my baby get, it would be good to go. But, uh, you know, there was obviously the front forks were.
[00:17:12] Uh, twisted round, the handlebars had been flipped forward. So loves you. I still hit the handlebars. Yeah. Um, when you pushed him forward, but yeah, so yeah, it was a good hundred features up to you at a fair distance, but the big thing there, and this is up to you, not something I could ever calculate was because that was the big embankment.
[00:17:29] All this Hill down into a judge, then there was a Bob white fence and then there was probably another 20, 30 feet till I landed. But about five, 10 feet for the map was, was the road, you know, on the other side of the track. Right. Because the cows go past it. Right. So, yeah, that was sort of very much a luck factor.
[00:17:47] I probably couldn't calculate that into the equation, but that was very much, you know, either way, you know, 10 feet either way would have been game over.
[00:17:55] Carl Lanore: [00:17:55] Yeah. You would have landed in front of moving traffic at that point in time. [00:18:00] Wow. So you passed out because of the sheer, uh, shock of what was happening at this point in time, right?
[00:18:06] Your body goes into protection mode. When do you wake up?
[00:18:11] Olly Wood: [00:18:11] Yeah. So I wake up on my back. I don't even know how I got there. Um, obviously on the ground, um, obviously the initial, when you, when you jumped that far, it's obviously a massive amount of winning. So, um, you know, the kind of expectation that your lungs have collapsed, but obviously once that's all sort of come to light, it's, it's going through that, that general body scan right there.
[00:18:30] Uh, you know, being, and I think that comes back to the white training as somebody who would well, right? Like you're very aware of every muscle when you bought it, you know, how to contracture it individually. Right. So when that comes to, uh, bringing that awareness to what's broken, it's like, okay, start everything.
[00:18:43] Everything's there. Everything's working. But I feel, you know, obviously the shoulder. With something that was going on there. And once I was able to breathe properly, I sort of looked over at my left, uh, you know, expect my, my hand to be at sort of 90 degrees up here. And it was down there. So there was a mixture [00:19:00] and, uh, that's proprioception was not really there.
[00:19:02] Right. Um, so try and get some, lift that back in the range, this kind of the shoulder. Uh, and obviously that was really the only result. There's some minor fractures in the scapular. Uh, initially I thought I'd fractured the whole gap, but just from multi landing on it, I've had. I've still got a little bit bruising down my ribs.
[00:19:17] I I'm sure I broke at least massively Bruce Davis and just get the shoulder. So, you know, overall there was, there was fairly little damage to there and, and, uh, Like I said before, because I just came to my shoulder so many times in the past and obviously had surgery on that. Uh, that was probably less stable.
[00:19:33] Right. As you noticed that their shoulders and pretty much, uh, a golf tee or the joint. So there's not a huge stability there anyway. And if you just get that, it's going to come back out. So outside of that, maybe if I hadn't dislocated the shoulder in the past, maybe that would have stayed in. And that was, that was it.
[00:19:46] But, uh, Yeah. Obviously I had two or three guys riding behind me chasing me down the track. Uh, they saw me go over the wall and they were running over the Hill with me, a little switch. If you've ever been in a full set of race, livers is not made for running. [00:20:00] Um, but they managed to meet me on there. And, and, you know, because just a year earlier, someone had actually died doing exactly what I'd done, gone over that track.
[00:20:09] Um, and in intensive care for two or three days and then died in hospital. So obviously it was all a pretty major, um, Situation then. And even now you can probably tell I'm pretty light about it all. I literally just didn't think about it for two weeks. And I was seeing a bit of my partner the other day, and I said to her, um, you know, that was actually a pretty big crash, you know, like that was, that was pretty huge.
[00:20:29] And, and I think for me, I, um, I kinda just got on with it even though in the situation like, right. Well, this is just a pain in the butt. I want to kind of get a, get back to it. Um, but when the, when the ambulance, everything came over. Yeah, it was basically like, do not move. We're going to put your neck at a brace.
[00:20:44] Can you feel your legs? Like, um, that that's something that you literally, you, you shouldn't even be talking to me. Um, You know, w how can you feel these muscles? Right. And I was like, dude, my next time, could I, can I see where I've landed still? I'm still here, uh, [00:21:00] jerky at the time, I was like, well, you know, I'm going to Nick Bryce now.
[00:21:02] And that's not very convenient. If I were to have a little look around, you know, that they were very much like, uh, checking everything, uh, everything was out and, uh, ups, you have to cut off my jacket and, uh, fill up every part of my body. Didn't have to make them,
[00:21:15] Carl Lanore: [00:21:15] they had to cut your jacket off.
[00:21:17] Olly Wood: [00:21:17] Yeah. Yeah.
[00:21:18] Just give me the choice, but I was like, it's not going
[00:21:21] Carl Lanore: [00:21:21] to have a, I was going to say because it's, it's gotta be an expensive leather jacket that they're cutting.
[00:21:27] Olly Wood: [00:21:27] Yeah. Yeah. And obviously the helmet and everything else was top of the line. Um, there's a couple cracks moving through that, so that obviously B needs to be replaced.
[00:21:34] Um, But yeah, that was, it was really just that awareness of like, how are you still talking? And then second of all, how can you feel all those levels? Right. So that was sort of that breakdown.
[00:21:43] Carl Lanore: [00:21:43] So, um, when you did contemplate this, like you said, a couple of weeks ago, you were thinking about it. Did you, did you all of a sudden become overwhelmed with emotion?
[00:21:52] Like you, you could have, you know, 10 feet this way. You're, you're run over by a bunch of cars, 10 feet this way, your spam, because you're going to hit Bob wire going, [00:22:00] who knows how many miles an hour. Did, uh, have you, have you actually thought about it where you thought to yourself, man, like, I, I could have died.
[00:22:08] Olly Wood: [00:22:08] Yeah. Yeah. Well, exactly. That was pretty much it, you know, and, and it was funny enough. It was around the same time you sort of reached out, um, where I was really talking. And as obviously I put that post up, was this idea of how different of the outcome could it have been? Right. If I wasn't in it strong fit, relatively muscular position.
[00:22:25] If I was not really reworking on that awareness or, uh, quick thinking. If, you know, whatever else. Right. And knowing that those, those aspects sort of played a part in it. And our girl, just out of sheer luck, having that ability to walk out of that, uh, even if it was on shoulder in a sling is a pretty good outcome.
[00:22:43] Carl Lanore: [00:22:43] We're going to take a break and we're going to talk about the fact that your lifelong love of physical culture, your conditioning, and your muscularity actually contributed to you surviving this. And even your physician. Uh, I think so as well, we're going to do this. We're talking today with [00:23:00] Ollywood you could find them on Instagram.
[00:23:02] What's your Instagram handle? Holly.
[00:23:05] Olly Wood: [00:23:05] I only would say O L L Y would at, uh, so only would in Zed. Uh,
[00:23:10] Carl Lanore: [00:23:10] okay. Z. Yeah, Ali would end Z for New Zealand. It's funny. Every time I type your name this morning, it wants to make it Hollywood Hollywood on it. That's pretty funny. I stay tuned. We'll be right back with more of muscle saves lives.
[00:23:26] Evolution just got kicked up a notch.
[00:23:40] Oh, I forgot to say this at the beginning of the show, I start every show by saying this. We have to thank our title sponsor, legendary foods. Legendary foods makes the best nut butters. Uh, seasoned almonds as well as their tasty pastry, which is basically a pop tart with less than one gram of sugar. Their new [00:24:00] hot fudge sundae pop top tasty pastry has zero sugar and 15 grams of high leucine, high quality, uh, protein, uh, tastes just like a pop tart.
[00:24:11] You could buy them for your kids. They won't know the dis different. Take them out of the package, eat them raw or toast them, or they taste delicious. Go to eat legendary.com. Use the code SHR tend to save not only 10% off, but let them know that you heard about them here on superhuman radio. We're talking right now with Hollywood all the way from New Zealand and Ali is a stellar example of how mussels saves lives.
[00:24:34] So now let's get down to the bread and butter. So they whisk you off in an ambulance. They take you to the ER, most likely they start to triage you. They're looking for broken something. Okay. You have a dislocated shoulder. This is a shoulder that's given you problems for long time. So it's not, uh, unforeseen that this could happen to the shoulder, but they're checking everything else, right?
[00:24:57] Your neck fine. You know, you're [00:25:00] you're you're you say you had a bruise on your ribs and maybe you fractured some ribs, but no broken legs, no broken arms, nothing of real consequences that correct.
[00:25:10] Olly Wood: [00:25:10] Yep. I went through all the scans. I did all the things to find out if anything was broken. It was all pretty well.
[00:25:16] And
[00:25:16] Carl Lanore: [00:25:16] Nick, and so did you hear from people in the ER, like, I can't believe that you're not hurt.
[00:25:26] Olly Wood: [00:25:26] Yeah. So having a good chat to the guy afterwards subsidy, the main doctor, um, you know, I had, I was sort of walking around the hospital being like, well, doc, can I go home now? He's like, dude, you should be a Dick for days.
[00:25:36] You know, like, let's go gone. Um, and I missed a pharma phone and I was at the time, you know, kind of bored. So I was like, Hey doc, look at the photos. Like this is where I landed because he was, he's only seen me come in and see what's happened to what happened at, but I sort of showed him how far we'd we'd gone is like.
[00:25:53] Mate. That is absolutely insane. Like, I don't know how your, uh, in the state that you are, um, you know, [00:26:00] we've had a lot of clients or a lot of patients come in from that track and a lot less, but a lot worse conditions from you doing half that distance, you know, half that speed.
[00:26:09] Carl Lanore: [00:26:09] Are you a spiritual person?
[00:26:10] Are you a religious person? Ali?
[00:26:13] Olly Wood: [00:26:13] I'm not, no, neither am I.
[00:26:15] Carl Lanore: [00:26:15] I'm just curious because a lot of spiritual people are religious people would say, you know, well, God had his hand on you or. You have a purpose in life, but those of us who spend our lives maintaining our temple, you know, patching it when it's broken and upgrading it.
[00:26:33] When we feel like we have the time and the desire to, uh, we learned that our bodies are really a lot stronger than the modern population thinks it is because most people are really borderline frail. If nothing else did the doctor. I then I'm sure you had to go for follow-up visits, right? So you're released from hospital.
[00:26:53] You go back to your normal GP at that point in time.
[00:26:57] Olly Wood: [00:26:57] Yeah. So we had a bit of a, [00:27:00] a family domestic there because I was essentially like, look, I want to get home. Is that all right? And they're like, well, I'm going to have to go. A doctors told my family that I can't be picked up my, my partner doesn't drive.
[00:27:11] So it's literally the whole like, go get my mom to come pick me up. And she's like, well, you know, you've just done this distance. I don't believe how you're still in one neck. Um, and. I need some from concussions or anything, that's going to be, you know, internal bleeding or they must be something wrong with you, right?
[00:27:27] Will you
[00:27:28] Carl Lanore: [00:27:28] stay here longer? Will you stay here long enough? We'll find something wrong with you. Ali just gave us a little time.
[00:27:35] Olly Wood: [00:27:35] Yeah. So obviously they lifted the painkiller needle in my arm and they. Yeah. Asked me for all these different drugs. And I was like, just as soon as I can get off the shit, you've got me on, I'm going to feel terrible for a couple hours and then I'll just work through the pain.
[00:27:45] Uh, obviously you've got those horrendous beats in the hospital wards, wives. He had to stay the night. Um, but that was just, if anything, I actually managed to keep all my aura ring on so I can tell how bad that was. I know
[00:27:58] Carl Lanore: [00:27:58] they wake you up, you know, what's the [00:28:00] craziest thing. Sleep is probably the most important thing for recovery, but wake you up every hour on the hour, when you're in the hospital, they completely destroy your sleep and then they go, you're not getting better.
[00:28:09] Well, let me sleep a couple of nights and let's see what happens, you know?
[00:28:13] Olly Wood: [00:28:13] Yeah. Uh, uh, every part of that, you know, like I personally stay away from it in a hospital where every occasion I can, obviously, when I do a crash, like this would probably count. Um, but th that just keeps showing over and over, right?
[00:28:25] Like, uh, it was nothing to do with food. It was nothing to do with sleep. You know, I was in a room that was constantly bright with shit lights and stuff around and constantly being woken up. And then, you know, in regards to the food you get, you know, they gave me whatever was a half does, more meal, and then.
[00:28:40] And if you want an extra, you got these really, really cheap, uh, you know, white bread sandwiches that nothing in them, but like a piece of butter, you know, it was like, well, I might as well, just, I'll just fast for the afternoon if that's okay. You know, it in the morning, it's the same process, right? Which we got treats to trolley coming down with two lovely ladies who say these things are gonna make you feel better.
[00:29:00] [00:28:59] And then they're filled with coats and sugars and all this stuff. I'm like, Hmm. That's the reason these guys are in here. You know, it was
[00:29:07] Carl Lanore: [00:29:07] th th . I want to stop for a second because this cannot be overstated. Um, hospitals serve people, foods that make people sick while they're trying to recover from things like surgeries.
[00:29:21] I had to have my foot surgery. Uh, I had to have foot surgery twice a couple of years ago. And the second time. They had me come into the hospital for preparation. They sent me home with four cans of a drink that they wanted me to drink the night before at bedtime. And the morning of the surgery. Each of these cans had 46 grams of sugar in them.
[00:29:50] And of course I didn't do it and fasted from the night before to the next morning and the surgery went great. And I said to them, why do you give this to people? [00:30:00] And I'm going to tell you what it really is. What they told me is basically people are too metabolically and flexible to not eat before surgery.
[00:30:08] And they, and they have all sorts of problems related to metabolic derangement. And like I'm metabolically flexible. I can fast for 32 hours and train legs if I have to. So I didn't use it, but hospitals give people. Food's hospital food is, will make you sicker. It will, it will. It will cause your body to become so inflamed that it will take a fire department and then they wonder why you're not getting better.
[00:30:36] It just, anyway, I'll get off that, but it's staggering to me, it really is.
[00:30:40] Olly Wood: [00:30:40] Yeah, no, I I'm. I'm I go down that route all the time. You've got to be careful with what you say, but it's, you know, at the end of the day we can keep it pretty simple. Like obviously doctors are trained to look for disease and if things are broken, then there's a level of, um, medical intervention that would be helpful.
[00:30:54] But you know, we do this when we look at blood work for our clients as well, right? Like there's a, there's an optimal range that comes down to lifestyle [00:31:00] nutrition, majority of the time. And that's the range that when you're working and then. Yeah. You've been told by doctors that you're great, but now your liver, your renal markets authority are way out and it's because unless they give you whatever drug is, is correct at the time, then they, you know, there's not much they can do.
[00:31:15] Right. And then at the end of the day, they're not nutritionists. They're not experts in that field. And that's where that fine line sort of comes in. And it's like, well, unless I can give you a drug for it, then you'll find, and I think it's a two way thing. I think, as, as you know, that most of the population, there's a lack of.
[00:31:32] Confidence in knowing they'll actually follow through on the prescription, you'd give them, but knowing that there is that gap and at least having that opportunity to succeed without having to bring in those interventions would, would be a massive part of that. Right. So I obviously work with that a lot with our clients and we battle that line a lot.
[00:31:47] Um, but when it comes back to, you know, what's happening in, in the hospital ward, you see that just day to day, it's just become. It's a drug industry and it's got nothing to do in the team. And if I'm going to improve from this injury, if I want to [00:32:00] actually get better, I need a full night's sleep. I need to learn from it.
[00:32:03] I need to get that information down and I need to have foods that are actually going to fuel my body. Right? So having a really low quality bread with very high quality Hammond is not exactly going to be the best breakfast for me to move forward. Right. They come in with their tray, I guess this is, this is a conversation I had with what they're trying to do is emulate what you do at home.
[00:32:21] But the reason you're in the hospital was because what you did on
[00:32:23] Carl Lanore: [00:32:23] brother.
[00:32:25] Olly Wood: [00:32:25] So they bring you in the yogurts, they bringing in the ice cream, they're bringing in all these things to make you feel better. When the last thing it's going to do is actually improve how you feel. I know.
[00:32:34] Carl Lanore: [00:32:34] So you go to your GP as a followup, right?
[00:32:38] What's that first visit? Like, what does he say? What does he notice?
[00:32:41] Olly Wood: [00:32:41] Probably what complete waste of time? Um, obviously now that I know what blood work and what markers, they're looking at, the one thing that you'll probably laugh at this, the one thing they were looking at was the christening levels. And I was like, well, of course, doc, I thought he trained every day.
[00:32:52] Of course that's going to be a little higher. Right. So that was, uh, you know, the amount of times I've run into that issue of, Oh yeah, you need to take some time off training or you need to drink [00:33:00] some water or whatever it was. It was like, I tried legs yesterday. That's why this muscle breakdown, but it's all good.
[00:33:05] Um, everything else salty from David was fun. So that was a pretty short visit in wasted time. Um, the surgery appointment was supposed to be as of a couple of weeks ago. Um, but, uh, I, I don't know what it's like over there, but in New Zealand it's a bit of a hassle getting in for an MRI unless that joint sort of falling off, you know, so I still haven't had the MRI yet.
[00:33:24] I've had the, uh, initial, uh, X-ray and a CT scan to make sure bones and all that were in place. Uh, there was a couple of chips and cracks that need to be improved, but from a team level, that's kind of what I needed to know, right. From a, and because I had surgery in the past, I've reattached those ligaments, uh, it needed to make sure I sort of stabilized that shoulder.
[00:33:43] For me, it was like, just how can I get back to normal as quickly as possible, right, right. With the surgery or not. I just want you to know that answer. You know what happens next is you go in and you waste four hours than I am orthopedic ward to tell you what you sort of already know. They give you a new slim until you go home.
[00:33:59] Uh, and [00:34:00] then I had a surgery at a point with a surgeon last week, which I canceled before I went to it because I looked I've still, haven't had the MRI. So you're going to tell me, you're going to walk in there only holding a hammer and tele written tele written say really looks like a now, right? Like it's Oh, it's going to need surgery.
[00:34:14] Well, like there's gotta be a difference between yes, I can do surgery and yes, I should do surgery. Right. Just opening up. It's like, it's not a reason to go under the knife. So I'm still waiting on the MRI to see how things go. And that really might, my rehab started from day one. I haven't bothered with physios.
[00:34:30] They haven't bothered with anything there because I've been through that process enough times and obviously being in that
[00:34:35] Carl Lanore: [00:34:35] place and I, and as a PR, as a personal trainer, you probably have better insights in how to rehab a joint than they do.
[00:34:43] Olly Wood: [00:34:43] Yeah, well, it comes back to, are we going to isolate what's happening in a shoulder?
[00:34:46] Are we going to systemically look at how that affects the body? Right. There's a there's scapular motion. There's, uh, there's bicep, bicep and tricep, but I can move, you know, it looked like I'd torn my bicep. Right? Cause it it's completely purple. All those, all that blood obviously flows down the [00:35:00] line. So it looked like a full bicycle was gone.
[00:35:02] And so really for me, it was just a case of, I start shoving the hand against the wall with the internal external rotation. See what I've got there that sort of took a week. Um, you know, I started going back in the gym, uh, and, and just, it was literally training leagues four, five times a week, which was good fun.
[00:35:16] My legs blew up in two weeks. That was, that was actually fine. Um, and then as I, as I would, from there, I started to bring in just a single one, uh, uh, dumbbell coat on a, on a high end fund preacher bench. And, you know, my progression, there was simply from my, you know, what was the lightest thing, the gym, that was my one liter drink bottle.
[00:35:33] So going through that and just, you know, really passively going through that or. Slowly going through that range, but be noticing that, that, that stability in the front of the doubt and honestly where the bicep attaches is obviously going to aggravate things, but it's just that constant process, right?
[00:35:47] Like the, the, uh, the man that's at home, sitting in front of the couch rather than actually exercising, he's going to, he's going to lose that muscle. He's gonna lose that conditioning if. If I'm not challenging that body, at least putting it under some sort of strain, then there's no reason that it's going to, [00:36:00] it's going to heal.
[00:36:00] So I was just finding every, every range that I could at least contract something, everything that I can move and just build that back up. So you're in the space of two weeks, I went from barely being able to lift a drink bottle to get back to, you know, 10 kilos. Um, and it's amazing how quickly your biceps shrink, but something, it actually comes back.
[00:36:17] So that was obviously I knew that totally makes sense, um, with how those muscles work, but from a. I actually seeing it shrink and then grow in two weeks was quite interesting. Um, so really at this point now it's just a case of getting back to some sort of front range. Um, I probably got about 30 degrees of lift at Ford announced case it just building back their internal, external rotation and seeing what I can do by the time I get my arm up here.
[00:36:39] So obviously that's still without getting an MRI, but I've got a pretty good idea of that stability factor. Um, if it is a case of reattaching a little bit ligament, then that's cool. But what I can do day to day is now, uh, you know, Back to a reasonable range because I've managed to get in the rows. I've managed to get the bicep, curls, tricep, extensions, and generally just get that function back because I challenged the body and got back [00:37:00] to that level of structural strengths and contraction that I knew would
[00:37:02] Carl Lanore: [00:37:02] help.
[00:37:03] I want to take our last break. And when we come back, I just want to focus on the fact that in this case, Uh, had you not had the muscle that you have worked so hard your entire life, uh, you probably would have well been severely injured, maybe crippled and possibly dead stay tuned. We'll be right back with warm Hollywood is the superhuman channel doing reps with the weight of the world,
[00:37:31] because, uh, at the top of the hour, we're going to announce the winner of the $6,000. Good health sauna giveaway. And, uh, it's pretty exciting. I mean, this is a really wonderful thing to receive. Uh, Ali, are you a fan of, uh, of infrared sauna?
[00:37:50] Olly Wood: [00:37:50] Yeah. Yeah. You've been doing a little bit in the process of recovery, actually.
[00:37:54] I've, uh, not a huge amount around here, but, uh, we've just with a couple of acupuncture, uh, stations and [00:38:00] stuff. We had that inference sooner. It's been quite good.
[00:38:02] Carl Lanore: [00:38:02] Yeah, it's a really, and this one is a three person sauna. It has a very small footprint. It fits in the corner of a room. So somebody will have a sauna right in their home.
[00:38:13] That they can use every day. I have one. I love it. I get in the sauna almost every day. Um,
[00:38:19] Olly Wood: [00:38:19] I'll be very appreciative if you set one up, that'd be fun.
[00:38:22] Carl Lanore: [00:38:22] Yeah. Like the guys from good health sauna, maybe they need to expand to New Zealand. If they're listening. Uh, Eric is, uh, in the green room right now standing by to come on.
[00:38:32] Uh, maybe he needs to reach out to you. You have the connections there. So there you go.
[00:38:36] Olly Wood: [00:38:36] Uh, anyway, well, I've done that. Obviously I've gone down that full, full dive with, um, uh, the older pads and the aura rings and all these things. Right. And they're shipping to new. Zealand's always the biggest expense.
[00:38:45] Carl Lanore: [00:38:45] I know, I know it is.
[00:38:47] It is. So, uh, in summary, the doctor at the ER said he can't believe you're alive. Um, did, did any of them say to you, had you not had the [00:39:00] muscle you carry to actually absorb the shock of being thrown from a hundred mile an hour, uh, spill on a motorcycle over a Hill down an embankment, like you probably would at least be cripple or not alive today.
[00:39:14] Did they say those things to you?
[00:39:16] Olly Wood: [00:39:16] Yeah, there was plenty of variations of that, right? Whether that was, um, through the luck, through the, um, the structure, through how you're walking, it was, it was variations of that. Yeah.
[00:39:26] Carl Lanore: [00:39:26] And, and, and this is why I do these shows because those of us who spend time in the noble pursuit of building muscle, I do it because I don't want to be in my seventies and in a wheelchair or in my seventies.
[00:39:43] And have to tell Elisa, no, we can't go to Europe because. I really can't walk very far or sure we can go, but you'll have to push me in a wheelchair. I want to be able to ambulate on my own. I want to be able to lift things. I want to be able to, you know, we just bought a bigger home and it's got stairs.
[00:39:57] Now listen to this. I'm 62. [00:40:00] I have a lot of friends that are my age. Like we're buying smaller homes that are one story. Like we don't want to have to go up and downstairs. I'm like, why, if you stop going up and downstairs, guess what? You lose the ability to go up and downstairs. Yeah. So, you know, I do it because I don't want, I always want to be in full gear of life and that, and obviously now that's why you do it too.
[00:40:24] Uh, I mean, you're not playing the sports,
[00:40:27] Olly Wood: [00:40:27] the level of injury that's obviously been there and I've been through a fair few things, but, um, you know, as you mentioned earlier, it's not like I'm over 50. Like a lot of the clients that we work with are in that same situation and sort of living through what what's happening.
[00:40:40] They're very much what, the way they're moving. It is, that's what we're staying all the time. Right? You get their shoulder range and they're getting to like, here, like how did we get their arm over the head? Or their range of their hips has gone. They're constantly tight through the hamstrings and their back.
[00:40:53] And it becomes this continual process of active release or needing outside help in order to move or get back to mobility. Whereas [00:41:00] what you've just said, right? This level of contraction and weight training is building back that level of control. And, you know, as, as we were talking about with the mid-block fixed books, you like your boosts, you actually use, uh, both those nutrients being able to have that ability to go four or five hours without, without food and still be functioning.
[00:41:16] I think it's the same thing on the strength. Good for other things, right? Like if you're always sitting on your butt or your, you know, only in the walking and you call that exercise, you know, it's, it's good as a caddy vascular, you know, you're getting that, um, That blood flow, but you're not getting that level of contraction through range, right?
[00:41:30] So we're not getting full extension of the hip. That gait pattern just gets smaller and smaller. And it's that strength aspect that's missing in keeping that functioning in sixties and seventies. Right. And I think that's the difference, right? It's not the age of the character amount of K's on it. And it's just trying to make sure that you build that level of control and you, you actually redoing that oil, you're redoing what needs to happen to keep that life of the vehicle there.
[00:41:50] That's going to make the difference between 200,000 Ks and 400,000 Ks, you know, and that's really where that base comes in with it, with a lot of our clients. Uh, and I guess the main, main focus [00:42:00] here is just bringing it back to that. The weirdness of, if we don't have strengths in those ranges, whether it be through massive injury or whether it's just those, the wakes and niggles that you give to on a day-to-day basis, if you're not doing that resistance training to keep a base, then you're going to notice that just keeps reoccurring.
[00:42:15] Carl Lanore: [00:42:15] So did I hear you say you were back on the bike the other day, this particular bike. Uh,
[00:42:21] Olly Wood: [00:42:21] I've been on the mountain bike. I haven't been on the road bike. Yeah. Okay.
[00:42:23] Carl Lanore: [00:42:23] Okay. So, uh, do you have any second thoughts about taking it around the racetrack again?
[00:42:30] Olly Wood: [00:42:30] Yeah, of course. Yeah. Yeah. There'll definitely be a lack of trust in those breaks for a while.
[00:42:36] Um, I am going to get some braided brake lines up to the, up through updates, the oil in it and all that, all this stuff I probably should have done before the director. Um, but that'll just be a case of, uh, Yeah, I come from those. Yeah, I guess for me, my track racing was never going to be a competitive sport, you know, as you'll know, with every guy on the track is about 65 kilos and skin and bone.
[00:42:58] Um, hence why they probably crunched a [00:43:00] little bit more, but that's not going to be a competitive sport. It's just good fun. So I'm actually gonna go back out to the track next month. My main goal is to be a, make sure I can get both hands on the steering wheel and I'll be doing it in the car. And the early that's just that, I guess the adrenaline side from a speed standpoint, I can do it on four wheels if I can do it on too.
[00:43:16] Um, so I'll build that back up. The question, where do I get back on the track with mountain bike on the mobile app will be, uh, we'll. We'll see.
[00:43:22] Carl Lanore: [00:43:22] Yeah. What about the car? What kind of car are you going to race?
[00:43:26] Olly Wood: [00:43:26] Uh, just, just, I got to BMW three 35 either got changed. Um, so I still got a fair amount power there, but it'll depend on the brakes and the suspension to see how, how fun it would be.
[00:43:35] Carl Lanore: [00:43:35] Yeah. Cause that's the thing about that. You know, a lot of these cars go fast straight, but when you try to go fast around turns the game-changer. So Ali, I want to thank you so much. First of all, for doing this show so early in the morning, Friday morning, and, uh, In New Zealand. Can you give me the lottery numbers now?
[00:43:52] So I can bet this today and I will, I'll split the money with you. Um, but, um, I think that your story [00:44:00] is an important one. I think all these stories where muscle actually contributed, excuse me, to excuse me, to save a life. Whether it's the person who carries the muscle or they helped somebody. Is important because we need more people in society to pay attention to the fact that muscle is metabolic currency.
[00:44:23] And I S I w the first two years I did this show. 2005 and 2006, I used to close every show by saying muscle is metabolic currency. So get into the gym and make a deposit today. It's just like money. It's just like you saved money for your old age. You better save muscle for your old age too. You'll have a, you'll have a better engineer life.
[00:44:44] If you focus on building muscle. And I appreciate you coming on the show today and telling us your story and I'm glad you're okay. And I hope that you, I hope that yeah. Once you get the right brake lines, the right brake fluid. You said you have Brembos right. You have Brembos on there, right? [00:45:00] Okay. That maybe you'll take it for a stroll around the track a couple of times before you just say I'm done with this, just to, just to, just to know that you can thank you very much for being here.
[00:45:10] Ali.
[00:45:11] Olly Wood: [00:45:11] I think you count obviously, a big pot there. I think that you're saying is in regards to the, uh, it's saving lives, but as you're saying on the day-to-day basis, it's simply improving the quality of your life as well for, so it's not just the massive occasions where, where it does save that, that, uh, that broken bone, but the day-to-day of just having that currency, you know, you're putting in those deposits.
[00:45:31] For that, that metabolic pine seed in that building that day to day. And what we, what hopefully everyone on this podcast is doing is at least getting that structure to build in some weight training, you know, three, four times a week. And what that does to your brain, you didn't show up either in the, in the world is going to be more than worth it, right in itself without even the physical components of it.
[00:45:50] Carl Lanore: [00:45:50] Absolutely couldn't have said it better. Thanks Ali.
[00:45:53] Olly Wood: [00:45:53] Take care. Bye.
[00:45:56] Carl Lanore: [00:45:56] All right, so we're going to take one quick commercial break. And when we come [00:46:00] back, we're going to announce the winner of the good health sauna drawing. So stay tuned, stay with me. We'll be right back.
[00:46:14] Welcome back to superhuman radio. We're joined by Eric. from good health sauna. How are you doing Eric? I'm
[00:46:21] Erik Kralovitz: [00:46:21] doing good, Kyle. Thanks for having me. I appreciate you having me on the show.
[00:46:24] Carl Lanore: [00:46:24] Yeah. So today's a very exciting day. So we started a couple months ago. I want to say with a, uh, a sauna drawing, interesting phenomenon.
[00:46:35] We literally got like 30,000 people who clicked through, uh, but a large percentage of them didn't sign up. And Natalie and I talked about it and we realized that we think that people just don't feel like they have the room. For a sauna like this in their home. So this is a three-person sauna and it actually has a smaller footprint than a two-person SATA.
[00:46:57] Cause it fits in the corner of a room, [00:47:00] right?
[00:47:01] Erik Kralovitz: [00:47:01] Yeah. It takes, it takes advantage of the void space.
[00:47:04] Olly Wood: [00:47:04] So you know, where
[00:47:06] Erik Kralovitz: [00:47:06] people don't really utilize that often.
[00:47:09] Carl Lanore: [00:47:09] So how much space does it like, like from, from, from its widest to its w w uh, and to its depth and width? How, how large is this, this box? This let's call it a box for now.
[00:47:21] Yeah.
[00:47:21] Erik Kralovitz: [00:47:21] So if you measure it from the corner, it's five feet off the corner in both directions and 75 inches tall.
[00:47:29] Olly Wood: [00:47:29] So
[00:47:29] Erik Kralovitz: [00:47:29] one of the things that surprised me, cause that's, this is the model
[00:47:32] Olly Wood: [00:47:32] that I have in my house.
[00:47:33] Erik Kralovitz: [00:47:33] I have a corner unit and it's a three person sauna at the only corner model that we, that we make.
[00:47:40] Um, when I, I was a customer first, when, when I had good house fun, um, they, they. When I bought my sauna,
[00:47:49] Carl Lanore: [00:47:49] um, and
[00:47:51] Erik Kralovitz: [00:47:51] I installed it in the house.
[00:47:52] Olly Wood: [00:47:52] I was impressed
[00:47:53] Erik Kralovitz: [00:47:53] at how much space I thought. Cause I was figuring I had a bar just in front of my sauna and I figured the door [00:48:00] when I would open the door all the way
[00:48:01] Carl Lanore: [00:48:01] open wide,
[00:48:02] Erik Kralovitz: [00:48:02] it would touch the bar.
[00:48:04] But once I installed it in the house and I actually was looking at how much space I have in between the front wall of the sauna and the bar. I had like five feet. It didn't even come close to it. So I was really impressed because like, like we said, we're saving, we're taking advantage of that void space that people just don't use.
[00:48:22] Carl Lanore: [00:48:22] So, um, how is this going to be shipped? This, this is going to be shipped over, uh, by truck, right? It comes in in pieces, right?
[00:48:30] Erik Kralovitz: [00:48:30] Correct. So we ship it using freight and it comes, it gets delivered to your house. It's on a pallet. And it's all packaged up in boxes. The three person corner is three separate boxes and it's packaged up.
[00:48:45] It's shrink, wrapped together all nice and tight and clean. And what cussed, how Pete, what people do is when. They signed for the sauna and it gets dropped off at their house. You start taking it apart one piece at a time. So you bring in the floor [00:49:00] first and you put the floor where you want it. Then you bring in the back, back wall, bring that in and put it.
[00:49:06] Carl Lanore: [00:49:06] And it just, it just drops in place. Right? It, it snaps in place. Right. Yes.
[00:49:10] Erik Kralovitz: [00:49:10] Yes. You just snap all the walls together. The top just sits on top with gravity. Um, you just plugged the heaters in together, which is very simple and self-explanatory, and it's just buckles and latches. I
[00:49:20] Olly Wood: [00:49:20] mean,
[00:49:21] Carl Lanore: [00:49:21] you could not screw it up.
[00:49:22] Erik Kralovitz: [00:49:22] I get people all the time that say I'm not mechanically inclined. My husband doesn't he can't put things together. And I, I tell him, I go, I'm telling you, you can not screw this up. You can't, it's extremely simple. It's extremely easy in a really doesn't take up much space in your house.
[00:49:39] Carl Lanore: [00:49:39] You guys have the best customer service in the industry bar.
[00:49:41] None. Which means that if somebody has a question that they call and they get the answers right there and then right. Oh, absolutely.
[00:49:50] Erik Kralovitz: [00:49:50] We have the best warranty, lifetime warranty in the industry. It never expires. Um, I, I
[00:49:56] Carl Lanore: [00:49:56] I've been, I've never
[00:49:57] Erik Kralovitz: [00:49:57] heard of an incident [00:50:00] where if a customer had some sort of question or a problem that.
[00:50:04] That it wasn't solved quickly and efficiently and answered correctly.
[00:50:09] Olly Wood: [00:50:09] Uh,
[00:50:09] Erik Kralovitz: [00:50:09] it just doesn't happen. That's, that's one of the thing that the owner is. So in everybody that's part of good health saunas is, is so we want to make sure all the customers are happy and that they have a good experience that way they can enjoy it.
[00:50:23] Enjoy their sauna and they can refer it, improve their health and refer it to their family and friends. And we take our reputation extremely seriously. It's just like
[00:50:32] Olly Wood: [00:50:32] anybody does, but actually like you, Carl, everybody, um,

[00:51:38] Erik Kralovitz: [00:51:38] takes about a week to a week and a half,
[00:51:41] Olly Wood: [00:51:41] but right now, um, It will probably take about two weeks.
[00:51:45] Erik Kralovitz: [00:51:45] So get it two weeks
[00:51:47] Carl Lanore: [00:51:47] because, because of COVID and all that.
[00:51:50] Erik Kralovitz: [00:51:50] Yeah. Yeah. Do you know where she's located at
[00:51:52] Carl Lanore: [00:51:52] all?
[00:51:53] Erik Kralovitz: [00:51:53] Um, I didn't see the information.
[00:51:56] Carl Lanore: [00:51:56] No I don't. But Dan, Dan, uh, Dan, uh, Kopecki is going to email [00:52:00] you today and get you, her, her address and everything, but to two weeks, I mean, assuming she lives, cause you guys are in, in Milwaukee, right?
[00:52:08] Are you in Milwaukee?
[00:52:09] Erik Kralovitz: [00:52:09] Yeah, we're just outside of Milwaukee
[00:52:11] Olly Wood: [00:52:11] Waukesha County, which is one County West of
[00:52:13] Erik Kralovitz: [00:52:13] hockey, but we got warehouses in Buffalo, New York, Minnesota, um, down in Denver and also in Florida. So it could be where she is, you know?
[00:52:24] Carl Lanore: [00:52:24] Yeah. She'll, she'll probably get it. She'll probably get it in two weeks or so.
[00:52:27] So April Solis is the proud winner of the almost $6,000 value. Three person corner sauna far infrared is near infrared far infrared. This is near infrared, right? It's full, full spectrum. Oh wow. That's even better. That's
[00:52:45] Erik Kralovitz: [00:52:45] all the
[00:52:46] Olly Wood: [00:52:46] spectrum.
[00:52:46] Carl Lanore: [00:52:46] Yes. A sauna that she will have in her home and she'll be able to take it with her wherever she lives and, uh, very, very exciting.
[00:52:53] And I want to thank good health saunas for being so generous, uh, to do this, uh, for [00:53:00] someone in the audience. I really appreciate this cause I love mine. I love my sauna. I use it all the time. Um, I, I use it almost daily and I always sleep better when I use it in the evening. Isn't that funny?
[00:53:11] Erik Kralovitz: [00:53:11] Yeah. There's no downside to it.
[00:53:13] And I like to call it in. I like to say the gambler scene, it's a free roll.
[00:53:19] Olly Wood: [00:53:19] Nothing
[00:53:19] Erik Kralovitz: [00:53:19] bad is going to happen. You can only have positive things that happen to you, your health, your mindset, you know, your life. It's.
[00:53:28] Carl Lanore: [00:53:28] There's
[00:53:29] Olly Wood: [00:53:29] there's no constant
[00:53:29] Erik Kralovitz: [00:53:29] vocations. There's no side effects. The only thing is if you dehydrated yourself, but nobody dehydrates themselves because they're your thirst when you're thirsty, you drink water.
[00:53:40] So, um, the health benefits. It's it, you feel a lot better. It's something that every sh everybody should have a part of their routine, whether you're just starting to get into health and wellness and starting to take care of yourself better. Or if you're already moving in a very healthy lifestyle,
[00:53:57] Olly Wood: [00:53:57] you can only
