The Announcement You've Been Waiting For...

**Shaan Patel** (0:00)
Alright, we have a big announcement. Possibly the biggest announcement of the year from us. So pay attention. Turn the headphones up.
We are doing a challenge called My First Muscle.
Let's travel. Instead of My First Million, this is My First Muscle. It is a fitness challenge that we're doing. We want everybody to get involved with it. Sam, tell them how it works and why we're doing it.

**Sam Parr** (0:29)
Here's what it is. Summer's coming up. We got this thing called the pod bod. We've been sitting here, I think we're on 650th episodes or so. We want to get fit. It's a challenge. It's a race actually. It's 100 push-ups, 100 squats, 100 burpees. 100 times 100 times 100, that's your first million and it's hopefully going to be your first million muscle. Here's what you're going to do. You can do any order. You could start with burpees, you could start with squats, it doesn't matter. But when you do a burpee, you got to go nips to the floor.
Your chest has to touch the floor and then you hop up. And when you jump up to the top of the burpee, your feet need to leave the ground. And you should film yourself doing it. And when you film yourself doing it, you have to time yourself too. And then you have to share the video with us at MyFirstMillPod on Twitter.

**Shaan Patel** (1:11)
Exactly. Or you can tag me and Sam directly either way. So just to summarize, turn a timer on.
Best case scenario, you film it too, but at least turn the timer on and do it.
You have to you have as much time as you need to complete 100 pushups, 100 air squats, so no weight, and then 100 burpees. You can mix it up and you can do them in whatever sets of five or 10 or however you want to mix it up. You just got to get it done. That's the challenge. You've heard of 75 Hard.
You've heard of the Murph. Well, this is our version of that, My First Muscle. Me and Sam are going to be doing it. We're going to film it. We're going to post our videos of us doing it. Sam, what do you think your prediction, your time is going to be? You're a super fit guy.

**Sam Parr** (1:46)
I'm going to break 20 minutes. That's my goal. And I think I'll be in the 90th percentile. 20 minutes I think is 90th percentile. I think the winner will be 15 minutes.

**Shaan Patel** (1:54)
I predict that I will be far above 20 minutes. I think I'm going to be closer to 35 to 40 minutes. If I did a little test run, I did a little test run. I went 80 percent, 70 percent, and it took me like 42 minutes. And so I got a I got a that was just V1.

**Sam Parr** (2:09)
That's OK.

**Shaan Patel** (2:10)
I was a nibble. It was a Costco sample of it. I just need to now iterate and get better.

**Sam Parr** (2:13)
There's two things here. The first is just doing it. So I think doing it, I have a feeling you're going to see thousands of people doing it. I think it's going to be cool to see that you're going to do it.

**Shaan Patel** (2:21)
Well, let's talk about the doing it first. You brought this idea from Jesse Itzler about the misogi, a hard physical challenge that you do, something that that makes you a little bit scared, that pushes you past your limits.
It's good to do these. And instead of having everybody come up with the misogi, we want to give the community one that we can all kind of share, all do together. And I don't care if you're out of shape.
Don't let that be the reason you don't do this. If you can do push ups on your knees, do push ups on your knees. All right, you might not win the prize, but get it done. You'll be proud of yourself when you get it done. And I think there's an amazing feeling on the other side of doing this.
And that's who you want to be. Now let's talk about the prizes. So if you want to be eligible for the prizes, you got to do it legit. And you got to have a video camera when you're doing it. Otherwise, we don't know if you're, you know, this is not the gentleman's agreement. You got to actually show some proof if you actually do this thing. We've seen some amazing videos come in. So a couple of people heard about the announcement early and started doing them. Did you see these girls who did them in their peanut butter and jelly costume?
