In this episode, Nate and I discuss:
- life as a professional wrestler and how his training regime differed to training as a natural bodybuilder and fitness model
- the psychological effects of over-training and managing training efficiency
- the mental and emotional impact of injury and recovery.
- motivations for training and the wider implications in life, and how motivation impacts upon progress both in and out of the gym
- Nate's loves of Kaizen philosophy and continually seeking improvement
- life challenges, life lessons how they fit with training, and the importance of connection to who we really are
- the difficulties in being authentic and the dangers of losing authenticity in a fast paced, consumer based, externally referenced culture, where we are constantly pushed to compare ourselves with others and meet externally set standards
