0:09.2	Hello, my friend. How are you? Hello, my friend. I am good.
0:13.3	Good to see you. We've got this time around AMCAP 20 returns. We're going to try to answer as many of your questions as we can.
0:22.0	This time, we've got questions about a father of three young girls struggling to balance sleep, training, and family
0:27.4	life. Our thoughts on whether the fitness industry has lost its way by prioritizing hustle culture
0:32.9	over genuine impact. Thoughts on if someone with a history of multiple hernias can safely begin
