So the reason that I've been able to have so much β and I get the skepticism. I really do. So many people say β I mean look at how many people are out beating their chest saying they're drug-free and then it comes out that they weren't, right? But I have been brutally consistent for 25 years.

In 25 years, the longest I ever took off of resistance training was seven days and it was after I won world championships in 2022 for M193KG. So I've been able to be really consistent with my training. And I always give this comparison of β I think it just really highlights how powerful consistency is. And it relates back to my favorite quote I've ever heard.

The magic you're looking for is in the work you keep attempting to avoid. The work is the hack. And I liked what our friend Peter Attia said this when he was talking about biohacks and why I didn't like the term biohacks. He said, I don't like that it occupies so much mind space, right?
