QUOTES:

"If you can't then understand your own physiology to a level where you can fix that without needing more technology, you're gonna fail. That's a short game. And I want you to play the long game." [5:49]

"The first thing would be simply becoming aware of what's happening. And the easiest way to do that is to decrease the amount of external stimuli coming in, and just being with your own self as much as possible" [4:13]

"And what we know very clearly is the plasticity within the muscle, n other words, its ability to change its composition, changes really rapidly. So if you haven't strength trained on anything heavy in weeks, decades, I'm not surprised you have a hard time regulating that 'cause that's what it's primarily there for." [18:08]

"There's a difference between variation in our training and randomization. Randomization is not a good idea. There's no plan. There's no purpose." [18:37]

"What is magic for sleep is consistency for the most part. What I don't want people to be is slightly consistently underslept." [22:04]

"I don't want people to be fragile. Not handling any unplanned stress. If you can't handle any unplanned stress in any aspect of your life and a little bit of stress, causes a big problem." [29:56]

"Some people got a good draw and made bad choices. Some people got a really, really tough draw. Okay. What are you gonna do about it? You still have an option. You still kind of have some control but you have to make that choice." [46:43]
