Joe Rogan (0:06)

And we're live, we're live with the champ.

Tyron Woodley (0:08)

We're live, we're live with the champ.

Joe Rogan (0:09)

What's up, man, how are you?

Tyron Woodley (0:10)

I'm chilling, man, how you doing, brother?

Joe Rogan (0:12)

You look better than anybody I've ever seen just a couple weeks out of shoulder surgery.

Tyron Woodley (0:15)

I'm a savage, man.

Joe Rogan (0:16)

You're walking around like there's nothing going on.

Tyron Woodley (0:18)

They took my savage stem cells out of my own damn back, and they threw them in my shoulder.

Joe Rogan (0:22)

Out of your back?

Tyron Woodley (0:23)

The hip bone, whatever the fuck. Bone marrow, they got in there, centrifuge, spun them, shot them into my shoulder, and shit. I should have a sling on, but I'm out Tuesday anyway, so I kind of prematurely decided to come out of the sling.

Joe Rogan (0:36)

Oh, so you're supposed to be out of the sling in six days?

Tyron Woodley (0:39)

Yeah, no, no, is that six days? Five days? Whatever Tuesdays is.

Joe Rogan (0:42)

Five days, this Thursday, yeah.

Tyron Woodley (0:43)

Four or five days, yeah.

So my guy's really aggressive. I went to Dr. Andrews, he's out there in Pensacola, and he said, no, we need you back punching in two months. So the day after surgery, yeah.

Joe Rogan (0:54)

Hard?

Tyron Woodley (0:54)

Day after surgery, he said making contact. So two months, I mean, right after surgery, I was doing two a days, fucking full ass rehab.

Joe Rogan (1:03)

Really?

Tyron Woodley (1:04)

Yeah, like crazy. So I'm like, these dudes is nuts. This shoulder, I had this done in 08, I didn't move for like three weeks.

Joe Rogan (1:11)

What'd you have done with that one?

Tyron Woodley (1:12)

Same thing, lay room.

Joe Rogan (1:13)

Now, you hurting this in training? Are you hurting it in fights?

Tyron Woodley (1:17)

A lot of, well, people don't know about me, they think I just throw my right hand a lot, but I wasn't never really confident with my left hand, cause I had that left lay room tear. So it felt weird to throw hooks, and it felt weird to use my jab a lot. My shoulder would fatigue a lot.

So I didn't tell a lot of people that, so I just started bombing like hell with my right hand. It wasn't because I was just so right hand heavy.

So now that I had the surgery on this one, I'm going to stem cell both shoulders, rehab the crap out of it, and also bought this, the rehab machine called Artwave. You ever heard of it? The Russian stem is like nuts.

Joe Rogan (1:50)

No, what is it?

Tyron Woodley (1:51)

It's like a Russian stem machine that has the ability to make your muscles contract 500 times a second.

At its highest setting. So a lot of people use it, the coach use it, a lot of pro athletes use it.

The people that made it in Minnesota, they don't give a lot of information because they don't want their intellectual properties stolen, but they charge you like 12 to 14 grand for the machine. Then they charge you five grand to show you how to use it. Then if you really, really want to know how to use it, they charge you as another 500, I mean, five grand. So I was lucky enough, hope they ain't watching this shit. I was lucky enough to get one from my homie Mark Clayton. They used to play with the Rams. I just bought his from him.

Joe Rogan (2:27)

And so what is it called again?

Tyron Woodley (2:29)

It's called an ARP wave.

Joe Rogan (2:30)

ARP wave?

Tyron Woodley (2:31)

ARP, A-R-P.

Joe Rogan (2:32)

A-R-P wave.

Tyron Woodley (2:33)

I think that stands for Advanced Recovery Program.

Advanced Recovery Program. So basically, if you think about scar tissue, soft tissue, it has ability. It's not like that stem that feels like the needle poking, but it's like intense stem that goes through, it can break that fucking scar tissue up, go through soft tissue and basically increase blood flow, range of motion. So spraying ankles in one session, that should be healed.

Joe Rogan (2:56)

Really?

Tyron Woodley (2:57)

I've used it hundreds and hundreds of times. I just didn't have the money to buy it until recently.

I've been using it since college.

Joe Rogan (3:04)

And so now you put this on your shoulder, and what?

Tyron Woodley (3:07)

Well, you put it on your shoulder and they have like this posture, so you hold this posture to this position, right?
