0:00.0 | Shrug family this week on Barbell Shrug Zachary Carson from the US Air Force. |
0:05.0 | He's an exercise physiologist with one mission in life to create the best pilots in the world, |
0:12.2 | which is super cool. |
0:13.7 | And we're actually working on a bunch of stuff with him right now so we can help that mission. |
0:18.4 | And he came in today. |
0:19.5 | I actually have a very good friend of mine |
0:21.7 | that was a Blue Angel pilot. I went to Top Gun and the Navy, like total, total badass pilot. |
0:27.8 | And I always used to think about how essentially the locker room of the Blue Angels or the locker |
0:33.5 | room where those guys are getting ready and practicing at Topgon is essentially like the highest |
0:38.6 | level sports team. They just don't play sports. They don't play football or hockey or basketball. |
0:44.8 | They fly planes. But it's the exact same thing. I mean, there's an enormous number of pilots |
0:49.3 | that exist in this world. And to be at the level of performance that those pilots, specifically the ones |
0:56.7 | that Zach works with in the Air Force, you're total savage if you are working with Zach. |
1:02.3 | And in today's show, we dig through everything that the pilots are doing to prepare their |
1:06.9 | bodies, everything that the Air Force is investing into their pilots, because obviously |
1:12.0 | the hardware side of things, the actual planes do such enormously cool maneuvers at this point. |
1:22.3 | But how do we keep their bodies and their brains from breaking down with the immense amount of force that |
1:29.7 | has pushed on the body when you have a plane that performs the way it does. And it's a very |
1:34.8 | cool conversation that you're going to be a part of today. As always, friends, make sure you head |
1:39.3 | over to aretate lab.com. That is where you can learn more about all the lab testing, analysis, |
1:46.9 | coaching, program design that we do inside Rapid Health Optimization Signature Program Aure. |
1:52.6 | And you can access all of that at aureteelab.com. Friends, let's get into the show. |
