So it's a huge part of the equation, but it's not a standalone, a thing you can rely on. And, and, It's dope if you're a fucking pencil neck motherfucker and you've never lifted a lot and you can't look a woman in the eyes, even as an adult, to do PubMed searches and jack off a lot and then dunk on stupid meatheads in the comments. It's dope.

It's a cool vibe, but it doesn't get you all the way there to explaining all of the human variation you're going to see. If you've done the shit yourself, if you've competed, and if you've coached other people, you start to be like, man, the science makes a ton of sense. And in addition, there's all this other stuff from the real world that can super, super help figure a lot of shit out.

Yeah. Well, that's a great question. I started out as a person who was good at science science, like in school, but I hadn't read any exercise science because there was hardly any. And so I started out just doing meathead shit. And then I started learning more science because I was like, yeah, some of this shit sounds dumb. It doesn't make any fucking sense.

And so I came into the science with a lot of my own preconceived notions and a lot of information, both from meathead shit and about how my own body was responding. But I hadn't really coached a lot of people yet. And then I started being very adept at the science, very adept at understanding my body, but I still hadn't coached a lot of people.

And then as I coached more and more people, it's that third tier that probably helped me learn the most, to be completely honest. Maybe not the most. It was indispensable. Because you can learn all the science you want and that's dope. It's actually the most straightforward part. Like if you're smart enough reading all the science and understanding, it's not that complicated. It's very accessible.

Learning about yourself is just going to require like years and years of trials and tribulations. But a lot of people learn stuff about themselves. They just assume it applies to everyone else. And then you can really tell apart who has learned science, who has learned science plus learned a lot about themselves through experimentation, and then who's actually coached a bunch of people.

Only through working with tons of other people, especially competitors, do I learn, oh, shit just doesn't quite work the same way that I thought it did. And so for me, the last thing for me to happen was –

coaching enough other people coaching enough competitors and then competing myself to learn like oh fuck a lot of this does make sense for example a lot of the stuff that was i read in like flex magazine and all the muscular uh development all those magazines back in the day was advice that i thought nonsensical when i was doing it myself
