They discuss the role of genetics, the mental toughness to push past limits, and the reality that injuries can be part of the journey. The guys highlight the value of strength, the difference between genuine hard work and superficial effort, and why prioritizing strength fosters long-term health and resilience over fleeting fitness trends.
