So what you see is that I've been cramming a square peg into a round hole because I really like it. But really, I should be probably 190 pounds, and I should be an aerobic athlete.

And I think it's worth saying because if people are listening, Kelly's a big guy. All my training is biased towards, you cannot believe how much conditioning I do. I am a disciple of Joel Jameson. I'm a huge fan of trying to look at where I'm spending my time in these different heart rate zones.

The ones that are... sprinters and super springy, and you know who those people are. They're mutants. You know, I think I was always best at a skilled sport that used conditioning or used strength.

How about that? I just think it's important that we remind ourselves that the whole point of this is to have the most fun. And what you'll see, he put up a video of โ some Chinese elementary school kids and the Chinese Olympic lifting team coaches coming and assessing their kids.
