I used to take one day off a week.
But that one day off was an active recovery day where I would get on a trainer and ride for like two hours. Wow. But at a zone one heart rate, very low heart rate. And I replaced the carbohydrates in my body while I rode because the best way to recover for me is to do something at a very low heart rate, because therefore your blood's flowing through your body.

All that glycogen is now flowing at a low heart rate. So it's not burning it, it's refueling it. So every Sunday used to be that. And it kind of snowballed into, as human beings,

We are always looking for, like, whenever I talk to people, people take my words and they put it in a way to where they want to feel comfortable. This guy, you know, they want to put you in a box.

I used to be 300 pounds.

It's not coming. It's not coming. Get over that recovery day. And that's the mentality I took with me.

I had to tell people lies so they would like me. Because I was so insecure. When you start to build yourself up and start to have the one thing that we don't have is confidence. Real, authentic confidence from hard work. Everything else goes away. You no longer look to other people for your self-esteem.
