when you're in there, right?

And then when you come out of the workout, you're gonna grow.

I'm gonna grow you here.

I was always...

I've always been like a sort of bodybuilding fan, like in the 80s.

I trained with this guy in the 80s who was just like a teacher that lived, you know, this guy, Jim Arden, who lived in Greenwich, Connecticut, where I grew up.

He was a teacher at this school called Greenwich Country Day, which was near the boarding school that I went to.

And I was like, you know, everyone expected me to be like, I played soccer.
