Tim might be the strongest person I know – and he also animates Paw Patrol. In this episode, we talk about gym myths, steroid culture, faith, discipline, anime and what it really takes to stay in the game when your joints start fighting back.
In this episode, we get into:
- Why lifting doesn’t actually attract girls… it attracts dudes touching your arms 😂
- The truth about steroids, teenagers hopping on gear, and what it really does to your joints and tendons
- How faith and fitness became two sides of the same discipline coin for Tim
- Why 225 is “okay” in the gym but wild in the real world
- Gym anxiety, injuries and the reality that no one cares what you’re lifting
- Being a weeb AND a gym bro – Dragon Ball Z, Goku/Vegeta, anime-inspired training
- High school football trauma vs Gonzaga farm boys and getting absolutely cooked on the field
- Why AI is coming for junior animators and why you shouldn’t just sit and binge Netflix
About Tim
Tim is a computer animator at Guru Studio (yes, Paw Patrol 🐾) and a part-time personal trainer. He’s been lifting for over 15 years and somehow balances big faith, big weights and big creativity – praying before heavy sets, coaching clients, and still nerding out over anime.
For aspiring animators
- Don’t just watch shows – make your own.
- Keep building your portfolio; AI is coming for the easy, junior work.
- Your edge is taste, style and discipline, not just software.
For gym rookies & injured vets
- Keep it simple. Keep it consistent.
- Master the basic movements instead of chasing TikTok “magic exercises.”
- Protect your joints and tendons – ego lifts don’t matter if you can’t train next year.
