I'll run through that exact same thing now in pounds for those of you that prefer that method.

So 100 kilos would be 250.

20 pounds, so just take the kilos and multiply it by 2.2.

Our third I of intervene, which is a fancy way of saying, what interventions do I do?

Huberman Lab
Perform with Dr. Andy Galpin: Why Muscle Matters & How to Build It

What stimuli do I introduce to aid in muscle growth?
