| 0:15.0 | You have to train your hypertrophy, your weak points, all that stuff in the off season. |
| 0:18.8 | That's going to build your work capacity, your general endurance, so you can handle the load you need. A lot of the great stuff happens in the off season. That's where you fix weaknesses.
