| 0:06.8 | in the last seven months, and it's been probably one of the most difficult, painful, |
| 0:12.3 | challenging situations of my life. Wow. Is this a below the knee amputation? Yes. |
| 0:22.5 | Okay. Wow. |
| 0:25.3 | How are you dealing with that mentally? |
| 0:28.2 | I mean, it's got to be, I can't imagine it. I mean, it has to be an odd experience to have that part of your body gone. |
| 0:35.3 | Yeah, it's very, very trippy. There's a part of me in my heart that feels like |

| 1:43.3 | That means you get more muscle building nutrition from every meal and faster recovery, |
| 1:48.7 | less soreness, and better workout results. |
| 1:51.1 | So the cool thing is that this is not just for athletes, this mass-zim stuff. |
| 1:55.0 | It can help anyone struggling with age-related muscle loss and weight gain. |
