Joe Rogan talks about discipline in the voiceover which is essential for any person in any industry. The words went something like this, ?The one thing that discipline does help you with, it helps you get things done. And when you get things done, and when you actually do things, you have more success.? The man who tore a lat muscle while lifting 755 pounds in a world record competition, does not have failure in his dictionary.?
Joe Rogan put it very simply and continued, ?You?re not gonna feel perfect every day. There?s gotta be those days you push through,? and that is how Rogan suggested that people can achieve anything. The video of Nick doing the crazy Hatfield squat with 610 lbs at the age of 54, is enough to prove that discipline does get things done. Best has not stopped hustling even after retirement and has plans ahead.
