At the end of the six weeks, we wouldn't have probably made a ton of progress on you if you're on the road constantly, but we would have not gone backwards anywhere. The literature is really clear. The science is clear. You can maintain muscle size. You can maintain muscle strength very, very well. Cardiovascular fitness is incredibly stable. with one or so training sessions per week.

We could have kept you right where you're at. And then we would have looked at this and said, okay, our expectations for progress are not going to be high during Jay's six weeks of travel. Let's all set expectation here. But when we get home... We're getting after it and our expectations are higher.

So at the net end of both of those, you add them together and you see where I'm going with that, right? So it's not just expecting yourself to gain five pounds of muscle every single month. It's unrealistic. We would have looked at the whole quarter or the whole year is what we, in our day, we look at the whole year for people. And we go, okay, great.

Quarter one is not the quarter we're going to go after it. We're going to work on mobility. We're going to work on our breath work. We're going to work on thousands of other things that can be done on the road, can be done with traveling. We're going to get our best gains in, fill in the other blank, when we've got, maybe it's quarter three.

And we actually have goals for each quarter for the year that are plotted out. And so we give people the best chance of success. The best example I can give of that is quarter four is the worst possible time to have fat loss goals in America. Like it's impossible. You run into Halloween, I have a little bit of candy, right? And then it's like, well, I'll get back on it.

But reality, it is like Thanksgiving is going to be here in a couple of weeks, right? All the way out through New Year.

Terrible. If you try to have, for most people, a huge fat loss goal, you're going to lose. So we don't play that game. You know what we typically focus on this part of the year? We're going to shift towards muscle growth. That's when you need excessive calories, right? Let's feed the beast. Let's not fight our life. Life will win.

We're going to go back typically just as, you know, big examples here. It's different for everyone. We will focus more typically on fat loss quarter two. You know why? No holidays, nothing around, and everyone has a little bit of extra motivation to look a little bit better over the summer when the sun comes out and they're more likely to have their shirts off. thing down.

So it fits life a little bit better. You see my point here, right?
