Summary
In chapter 8, we describe the evolution of human performance and the factors that influence it. We show how the modern fitness industry came to be plagued by extreme ideology, persuasion, and isolation. Andy provides context for this conversation with the history of training from the ancient Greeks to the birth of bodybuilding.
Enjoy!
- Kenny and Andy

| 0:00.0 | Hey there ladies and gentlemen this is Doug from Barbell Strugg. |
| 0:02.8 | I just want to let you know that we now offer 11 of our top training programs as a part |
| 0:07.3 | of a single membership site that we're calling the program Vault. |

| 0:14.3 | they couldn't sign up at any time. |
| 0:15.8 | You had to be around for the launch. |
| 0:17.4 | The launch was only four or five days. |

| 0:40.5 | So we took all that feedback and we decided to just put all of our programs together on |
| 0:45.2 | this thing we now call the program Vault. |
| 0:47.8 | That way all Strugg's athletes could have access to all the workouts that we have and move |
| 0:52.2 | from program to program as they saw fit for themselves. |
| 0:55.9 | That's a big sense. |
