0:00.0	What's up everyone and welcome back to another episode of the Legendary Light
0:11.0	podcast? I'm your host Ted Rice and this is the show that's all about taking your health,
0:15.6	your body, and your life to that next level. One of the things I try to do on this show is connect
0:21.7	you with the people who I've learned from. The people who
0:27.6	other personal trainers, other strength coaches, other health and fitness professionals
0:32.1	learn from. Why? Because I remember how
0:35.7	frustrated I was when I went to people who maybe look good but didn't have the
0:42.1	knowledge to help me.
0:44.3	So if you're a woman and you've been following the 23 year old girls on Instagram who take pictures
0:50.4	of their butt all the time and they're basically their claim to fame is that they were born with good genetics and they're young and they don't do much to get in shape or if you're a guy and you've been looking at the guys who are jacked out of their mind and who are possibly
1:05.8	photoshopped as well and they're taking steroids and you're like wow you know I should

1:39.7	the longest podcast I've ever done, so there won't be any takeaways at the end.
1:45.8	I think it's going to be obvious why Christian lays it all out for you in this.
1:51.2	This is over an hour long. It's an incredible amount of
1:55.4	information and you get to learn from one of the best strength coaches in the
1:59.8	entire world. This is who top strength coaches go to level up their game. This is the guy and he's here today. We had this amazing conversation.
2:10.0	You get to hear how he got started in all this and you'll also hear in case you're already
2:16.3	wondering well I'm not a top strength coach I'm not a pro athlete I'm not going to
2:21.3	Tokyo in 2020 to compete in the Olympics.
