She has an L4 and L5 herniated discs, one of which is compressing one of her nerves down her right leg. The problem has been that Stacy hasn't been in as much pain as other people, so doctors may not have been as convinced of the seriousness of her condition at the time. But when she went to get the treatment that morning, she was feeling almost completely better, so she declined the procedure. She's started taking supplements and feels much better and hopes to not ever need surgery. The injury has fundamentally changed who she is since she hasn't been able to lift. And even if she recovers completely, she worries if she'll ever feel that lifting is safe. (There's lots of people who have, however) Ironically, she didn't injure herself doing Strongman at all, but doing MAS wrestling and at a garden clean up. Stacy is definitely off to do some yoga and aerial and inversions to try to help her back! Listen to the last Paleo View for more details on her injury and her associate depression.   Pokemon Go! (14:14)Viv is way into Pokemon Go! It's a perfect way to encourage people to walk and get some exercise. (Secretly, Stacy is actually now into Pokemon since our recording) Stacy prefers swimming.   Vivian talks about running these days to regain some athleticism that has gone into lifting.While Stacy doesn't love running, she does love to do burpees to get that same exhausted feeling Viv's trainer Jason ended up in his first real competition and won every event. Women seem to love strongman as soon as they realize they can do the events, especially stones.   Supplement discussionVital Proteins now has new supplements like Whey Protein, Collagen and Type II Collagen (Discount code: VPA-0626-97BR1-LYIQ) Stacy thinks that they have helped her recover!   Vivian is still trying to decide if she wants to cut weight from Super Heavyweight to HeavyweightThis is why she's been upping the cardio and eating very clean and doing some crossfit type workouts Crossfit is in the news these days with the Games coming up and the documentary on Netflix.   Vivian is trying to dateIn chatting with men online, they'll see her lifting and get excited... until she tells them how much she is lifting Men seem to be intimidated by a woman who can lift more than them. And all the Strongmen seem to be taken. Men also seem to be into being macho with her when she'd like to be treated like a girl sometimes.   Stacy will be on vacation at the end of July (SUPER SECRET for the boys) Vivian will be finding pokemon and trying to find dudes. Send Stacy videos on not lifting strength endeavors! Outro (39:09)

When Stacy competes, she brings a giant entourage of support, so going alone seems so daunting Vivian was staying at the same hotel as the people attending the Muhammed Ali funeral, too! Vivian's friend Glenda was selling Lularoe at the show as well. The hardest part for Stacy was that there was no feed on Instagram or Facebook so no one could follow along! Vivian did exactly what she planned on doing in each event. She finished second in the show! The winner was much, much bigger than Vivian, but that's how super heavyweight (200+) goes. Most women in the class are going to be taller and weigh more than Vivian. See the comparison here. Samantha Coleman, the winner, is a world record holding powerlifter. She's new to Strongman, so we look forward to seeing her at Worlds! Vivian feels so much less stress now that she's no longer defending champion. The hardest event for her was the fingal fingers, which she was unable to train on. Overall, the event was a lot of "cardio" because of all the reps and all the moving events. Huge event! 314 people competed overall! Vivian was only 3 points from first, and now feels like last year wasn't a fluke. Unfortunately, Sarah from Primal Bites was injured and couldn't make it to the show. Stacy finally got her MRI and so hopefully is closer to recovery! Kalle Beck's seminar was last week as well. The Rock, Dwayne Johnson eat 2.3 pounds of cod per day, according to his diet report. Or 821 pounds per year. Vivian is now deciding if she should cut 20 pounds to get under the heavyweight limit for her next show. Jen Sinkler is coming to the east coast! Stacy and Viv are planning on stalking her. See her on Snapchat! Go see Vivian at LoCo Crossfit on July 2 for a Strongman seminar as well! Stacy and Viv are looking into how to get rid of clothes they no longer use, especially their Lularoe and workout clothes. Wesley wants to create his own version of Batdad. Coming soon because we can't figure it our yet! Not to sound like a douche, but Stacy is good at almost everything. But she'll throw a temper tantrum if she finds something she's not good at. Ricky Bobby: If you're not first, you're last! Miss Congeniality playing the cups   Outro (36:01)

Enjoy the show and lift on ladies!   Episode 51, How to Train When You Don't Have an Implement Intro (0:00) Latest &amp; Greatest (1:16) Welcome back Stacy! She's back from vacation with her sisters and dad! She visited her relatives on her dad's mom's side. And they're pig farmers! How interesting! Stacy saw a Contiki tour bus, reminding her of Viv's trip. Super long flight back, wrecking her body and her jet lag is intense. Stacy would have returned to Strongman at Crossfit Burke this week, but the trip wiped her out. Instead, she attended a seminar with Calle Beck.   Vivian is training for United States Strongman Nationals! (7:01) She hates everything. Up until the competition starts, Vivian is always unhappy. Which is the opposite of all other times.   Let's talk about Vivian's preparations! (8:57) She's lifting intense every day now and extremely tired, but after her week off before the competition she'll be anxious to lift heavy again! You're much less likely to have a bad day after that rest. She's very excited to compete because there are over 300 competitors coming, including 8 Superheavyweight Women!    How do you train if you don't have the implements? (10:57) This competition, she's doing Fingal Fingers (essentially flipping a giant telephone pole). She improvised by turning a yoke into a finger. Viv should put this on YouTube! Look for similar events you can train. A Conan's Wheel is a Zercher hold Farmers' Carry! If you can, you'd want to visit the gym where the competition is and train on your actual competition equipment! You can substitute almost anything for anything, really, with creativity. Work with what you have and just feel yourself getting stronger!   Vivian is looking forward to hanging out with her friends! Former guests Meg Squats and Sarah did a couple of YouTube videos about strongman! (and there's shoutouts to both Stacy and Vivian!) Meg was pretending she didn't know Strongman and Stacy was like "But I met you at a Strongman competition!" It's a great fun video to watch!   The week before a big competition, Vivian isn't fun to be around She's in her head about all the negative possibilities But when the competition starts, she already will know how she can work it out. Vivian feels like she has something to lose now, since she's the defending champion And the competition is stiffer this year, so she doesn't know how it will go this year. Viv's looking forward to the bourbon and fun later, after the competition.   We promise we won't skip for a month, but we're off next week Vivian is going to be in Louisville next week! Check out her Instagram!   Outro (23:50)
