| 0:05.7 | KG and this is the fit, healthy, and happy podcast. I think we're nearing a 100 episodes soon, man. Yeah, we should do a celebration. We should. For 100, if anyone has any great ideas for something special, that'd be really cool. but you know once again as always I know I sound like we keep saying it but we really |
| 0:21.4 | appreciate everyone that's been tuning in we've been hitting record highs week to week we you know once again as always I know I sound like we keep saying it but we really appreciate |
| 0:21.7 | everyone that's been tuning in we've been hitting record highs week to week we do our metrics and |
| 0:26.0 | it's just absolutely amazing how many new people are tuning in and discovering and thank you to |
| 0:30.2 | everyone who took the time to write a review because you're allowing this podcast to get out to more people |
| 0:34.7 | and hopefully one day we'll make it up in the charts and we'll be with the big boys but we'll see what happens for now it's just being a pleasure chilling with everyone thank you for every listen uh once again you know if you're craving more content from us dive back some of those earlier episodes all of these episodes are quality content we try not to cover the same thing twice so you know if there's a question you have or something you feel like maybe you've missed, you know, scroll through, see if something catches your eye and I promise you will not be disappointed. Man, I've just been super fired up with all the support we've been getting. I love it. It's being fantastic. There's nothing better than checking our emails in the morning, our Instagram messages, and people saying that it's been changing their lives |
| 1:11.5 | and just that one tip they implemented has helped them reach their goals. |
| 1:15.6 | Like it's literally the best feeling the world. |
| 1:17.1 | So we appreciate the messages because we know a lot of you right now are listening, but not really |
| 1:21.6 | doing a whole lot with it or at least you're implementing it but not letting us know. |
| 1:25.2 | So every time we see that message, it makes our day. day so we appreciate it and thank you for the support as always |
| 1:31.2 | all right so first question so this is obviously our mailbox Monday |
| 1:35.2 | episode where we answer your questions that have been submitted so the first |

| 1:41.9 | presses always seem to lose the tightness while on rocking the bar. So this is a really great question. So for |
| 1:48.5 | those of you that don't know when benching, generally your goal is to retract |
| 1:52.4 | that scapula and create an arch and the reason we create an arch is so we have a |
| 1:55.7 | strong pressing position where the chest can optimally kind of contract, where |
| 2:00.1 | you know you have everything pushed forward and you can actually benefit kind of contract, where you know you have everything |
