Josh strains a hamstring during his semi-annual USMC fitness test but still is able to pull out a 98% (296/300). It sucks that this happened, but some level of straining is kind of expected in a competition because that's a MAX effort event.

The coaches talk about muscle strains, effort strains, and a common-sense approach to training that will help you avoid straining and develop a deep level of consistency.

-Strains make you miss workouts. Avoid the superhero mentality (especially as a beginner) and actually get better results. Why can't some people tell the difference between sore and hurt? When to ramp up intensity and how hard to train on a daily basis.

-Continuing the conversation from the previous episode: why lifting heavy matters for people other than powerlifters.

-Jordan calls Josh a "soldier" and instantly gets called out.
