The one thing you have to address with Randy Moss is not a conditioning thing. It’s not an age thing. It needs to be addressed. I believe it’s the elephant in the room. It’s that thing called quit. And Randy, not like any other superstar I’ve met, he has more quit in him than any of those other players.
I’m in remission. I need to get my physical conditioning to a higher level. I was always very fit. I need to get back to where I am very confident in my ability to bike a long way.
What gets in our way is history and culture and religion and economic conditions. It is part of the hypnosis of our social conditioning.
I don’t think age has as much to do with how long you play as conditioning.
A lot of fighters just go to the gym and spar or wrestle, but they forget about their conditioning. Things like that cause lots of injuries.
Basically the school system sets you up with what it wants to set you up with. They’re really good at it. I think they’re too good. Problem is, what they’re doing is conditioning kids to merely accept the culture at hand. But the rebels won’t accept it.
When I was working for Radio 1 in Ibiza I stayed in a horrible place with a tiny window and really noisy air conditioning – the last thing you need in Ibiza, where you’re often a little bit the worse for wear at the end of the night.
I love air conditioning and Starbucks.
When I put on a performance I always work so hard, so I have conditioning for 10, 15 rounds.
The questions don’t happen when you hit 30 homers, right? If you hit 30 home runs, you hit 40 doubles, I don’t think anybody questions your conditioning or your offseason program.
I lose anywhere up to 20 pounds on location with adventurers like Conrad Anker or Brady Robinson. So I need to replace that lost weight and muscle by training hard when I am back in the States between jobs. And as I get older, it is far more important for me to be doing this and taking my conditioning seriously.
When you’re an athlete and you play every day and are conditioning yourself every year, the aging is gradual.
In some cases where the team is mixed, there’s almost two practices going on in one, where your young guys are getting the work they need, and the older vets are in the weight room getting strength and conditioning.
Troops fighting for their lives should not have to ask a lawyer sitting in air conditioning 500 miles away for permission to drop a bomb.
There used to be an old thing where every team had a heavy bag in their locker room for people to punch, but again, it was more about conditioning because if you hit a heavy bag for a minute, it feels like your arms are about to fall off.
When air conditioning, escalators, and advertising appeared, shopping expanded its scale, but also limited its spontaneity. And it became much more predictable, almost scientific. What had once been the most surprising became the most manipulated.
I do hate air conditioning and early mornings, but my friends all know this and plan accordingly.
I am a very firm believer in Cody Rhodes. I think he is fantastic, an absolute superstar. Unbelievable in the ring, great timing, great pacing – he’s in great physical conditioning, can cut a heck of a promo, and just an all-around good guy.
Some habits of ineffectiveness are rooted in our social conditioning toward quick-fix, short-term thinking.

Owners of valuable works of art don’t give to institutions that don’t provide good air conditioning and have good shows.
Nobody wants to be trapped inside that cage me. They don’t want to be cut by my elbows, they don’t want to get hit by any of my kicks and they don’t want their conditioning checked by me.
Golf is flexibility, and I notice more guys injured. You can overdo this conditioning.
I work a lot of conditioning and stamina.
All forms of tampering with human beings, getting at them, shaping them against their will to your own pattern, all thought control and conditioning is, therefore, a denial of that in men which makes them men and their values ultimate.
