Hacks, Fails & Lessons From 2019 - Christmas Special - #129

**Chris Williamson** (0:00)
Merry Christmas, humans. Welcome back to a very festive Modern Wisdom. Jonny and Yusef from Propane Fitness are joining me today as we talk through our favorite hacks, fails and lessons from 2019 I'm certain that there will be a lot for you to take away and perhaps we'll recap some things that you've missed throughout the year. I also wanted to take this opportunity to thank you and everybody who has tuned in over the last 12 months. The growth that Modern Wisdom has seen is absolutely incredible. I know that two episodes a week is a lot to try and keep up with, but there is no paid promotion. There are no sponsored boosts on the episodes. There's no big network supporting it and pushing it out to the masses. The only reason that this channel grows is because people like you are suggesting it to their friends and putting it in group chats or firing it out online, whatever it is. So if you've done that over the last 12 months, then I wanted to wish you an extra special Merry Christmas because you are the reason that this channel continues to grow and is something that's so meaningful to me. So thank you very much. I honestly couldn't think of a better Christmas present than you sending it to someone who you think might enjoy it. So without further ado, let's recap the year with Jonny and Yusef.
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back. A very Merry Christmas to you. I'm joined by Jonny and Yusef from propanefitness.com. Welcome back to us. Welcome back indeed.

**Yusef** (1:40)
This is actually take two, because we were being naughty.

**Chris Williamson** (1:43)
They were being naughty, they were being Christmas elves. As you can see, Jonny's wearing a familiar jumper, except for the fact it's broken. You've got an indicator.

**Jonny** (1:51)
I don't think it's broken fully. Better. Some would say better.

**Chris Williamson** (1:55)
Better. Anyway, if you are only listening, I suggest that you head to YouTube to check out our Christmas jumpers and all of their splendor.

**Jonny** (2:03)
Yours is lovely.

**Chris Williamson** (2:03)
It's really nice, isn't it?

**Jonny** (2:05)
Yusef's is far too small for him. You can't really see that because he's sat down.

**Chris Williamson** (2:08)
That's your girlfriend's jumper, isn't it? I think so. Take it slow in the snow and it's a sloth with earmuffs on.

**Jonny** (2:15)
It's like a cautionary notice, isn't it?

**Chris Williamson** (2:17)
Yeah, it is. You could stand by the side of the road just waving.

**Jonny** (2:21)
The effects are very sensible.

**Chris Williamson** (2:23)
Yeah. So today we're going to go through some of our favorite hacks, lessons, fails from 2019, do a year in review, what it is that we've been getting up to. Jonny, hot lump of coal for Christmas. Lump of coal. There you go.

**Jonny** (2:41)
What would you like to know?

**Chris Williamson** (2:42)
Well, what have you, okay, here's one. What have you dropped within the last year in terms of sort of routine or product consistency?

**Jonny** (2:48)
That's a great question.

**Chris Williamson** (2:50)
That is a surprise to you.

**Jonny** (2:52)
Uh, Rom wad mainly because you told me to. And how do you feel having, uh, so no different, I would say.

**Yusef** (3:03)
Why have you dropped Rom wad specifically?

**Jonny** (3:04)
So Chris went to see Mr. McGill, came back and was like, don't do Rom wad, Jonny, otherwise you'll snap yourself. So, um, I think I probably didn't, because I was doing it and it was taking a long time and I was still getting injured and I was still feeling tight and I was still feeling, um, you know, pain, discomfort, like as you would normally expect from, from training. So try dropping it. Also notice no change really. So I do miss it, but not for the right reasons.

**Chris Williamson** (3:39)
Well, yeah, no, I agree. I agree completely. So my, my reasons, Rombard I still think is a fantastically useful tool and it's a beautiful way to start your morning. Um, there's just certain physiologies, mine being one of them, that the changes that the stretches elicit, it doesn't agree with. Um, so Rombard's gone. Yusef, what have you added or taken away this year that's been surprising?

**Jonny** (4:03)
because you do like water down Rombard, don't you like all the gymnastic stuff?

**Chris Williamson** (4:07)
Yeah. Like all the-

**Yusef** (4:07)
Was it down?

**Chris Williamson** (4:08)
Yeah, you do like that. Yeah.

**Yusef** (4:09)
So it's not like beginners. The sport of gymnastics.

**Chris Williamson** (4:14)
The sport of Rombard. It's competitive Rombard isn't it?
