episode six. Here we go from the cleared hot studios in Montana. Yeah, I'm just kidding.

I don't have a studio. I'm sitting in my basement, which is pretty cool. I've never owned a basement before

and the windows down here have these little ladders that go up to the backyard, which I probably have building requirement.

It kind of makes me think like I'm in the back cave, so that's what we're going to go with.

So episode six, I'm still by myself back on the road Tuesday. Going to get around some interesting people and definitely plan on picking their mind.

But until then, more questions from the internet. So here we go. Let's dive right in.

Okay, got the red smoke.

Turn around. Going to hell. Where's the smoke? Where's the smoke?

Okay, copy. Where's the smoke? I'm looking at danger close now.

Oh, what a man. I can't see me. I'm in. I can't see me. Can't see me.

Question number one is about training, specifically physical training and it reads, what is my philosophy on working out?

Specifically strength training, CrossFit, cardio, etc.

Well, my theory is that there is no downside to being a strong human being.

I can't think of any negative consequences to being strong.

Having said that, I think it's important that you match the demands of your real life challenges, whether that's occupational or recreational,

to the demands that you see inside of the gym.

I think most people fall into the category of general fitness and very few people truly fall into the category of specialized training.

So my theory is, if you're not a triathlete or a long distance runner or fill in the blank something that is highly specialized,

you should touch a lot of things throughout your training week or month or cycle. However, it might be you're much better served with a broad stimulus than a scalpel.

Personally, I think you should train for your worst or most challenging day. And what I mean by that is, even if you're just recreational and you're training to go hiking,

don't train for the bare bones minimums. Always set a standard that you want to feel comfortable meeting when everything that you think is going to go correctly goes in the opposite direction.

So therefore you're going to be prepared. And even if everything goes wrong, you're still going to be just fine.
