Goggins-Itzler Training Experiment
Share
A story about how Jesse Itzler demonstrated level 12 intensity by hiring Navy SEAL David Goggins to live with him and train him for 30 days.
"Jesse Itzler wanted to get in the best shape of his life, the best running shape of his life. So what did he do? He hired a Navy SEAL to come live in his house and whoop his ass every day.
He said 'I will do everything you tell me to do. Whatever time you tell me to wake up, I wake up. Whatever many miles you tell me to run, I'll run.' He would train 2 to 3 times a day for 30 days straight. He ate exactly what this guy said, drank exactly what this guy said. He did pull-ups when this guy said do pull-ups, he ran when this guy said run. It was raining, it was hailing outside, it was freezing cold - he'd get out there and run.
That Navy SEAL was David Goggins, this is before David Goggins was even popular. He hired David Goggins to come live in his house for 30 days. Goggins would come into the bedroom where him and his wife were sleeping and wake him up and say 'Wake up bitch, we're running now.' That was level 12 intensity."
