You're going to get exhausted. You're going to have trouble breathing and, you know, it creates a lot of anxiety. And but one of the things I did that really, really helped was to stop focusing on the outcome. Like don't think about winning and losing. Think about putting in my best effort. Because when I was so focused on winning, it was too much of I need to do this, don't do this, you know, that kind of thing where it was like, no, just go out there, try as hard as you can.

And what happens is you put in the effort, the outcome will take care of itself.

1:32.8	I want to jump off and just throw some whack shit out, right?
1:39.8	So I have a whole list of these stories to go through because some of these can't be lost.
1:41.0	They can't be forgotten.
1:43.2	They have to be archived in some way.
1:46.1	So I'm going to start with the Muscle Tech photo shoot. Oh, yeah. Right? You remember that? Oh, yeah. Okay. So that was back at what? S3?
1:52.6	Yes. Yeah. So the gym we had at the time was like a John Deere dealership in the middle of nowhere.
1:59.0	And you have a photo shoot with muscle tech and my side of
2:04.8	this whole thing right it's i don't know at the time if it was powerlifting or bodybuilding
2:11.2	was the focus i think it was still power lifting. And so I'm thinking photo shoot, right?
2:18.3	And it was the open, open, front load opening monolith.
