Summary

What is the difference between a lifter who takes a hit, and keeps on lifting and the lifter who “used to bench 315 in high school?” Is it always that the former is harder working, more resilient, more committed lifter? How plastic are these traits? And are all “hits” the same? For some, when it rains it pours, and for others, they are lucky enough to get dolled out life’s curveballs at a pace they can handle. Ultimately in this episode, we acknowledge that when viewing advanced lifters who’ve been at it for a long time, we are to some degree seeing survivorship bias. Further, we discuss how self-efficacy can be best built, and how to deal with what is, and what isn’t in your locus or control. No matter what though, Iron Culture will continue to persist, demonstrating ultimate resilience, never missing a Monday release (and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise).

0:00.0	Eric, Omar.
0:03.0	I was told off-air not to do this.
0:06.0	Well, you know anything that you're told to do off-air doesn't count because the only thing that's real is what people see you on the internet.
0:13.0	I thought, Eric, you're going to say, I know you, Omar, you're a contrarian.
0:18.0	So if I told you not to do it just in sheer rebellion, you're going to end up
0:22.7	doing it thereby doing what I wanted you do in the first place. And that is, you know,

0:40.7	So we were viewing your review of an article talking about how to best essentially reach individuals,
0:48.9	change the hearts and minds, the souls of people.
0:52.9	That was the last episode.
0:53.9	The last episode, yeah.
0:55.5	And the intent always genuinely with Iron Culture is to be open, inclusive, the tagline
1:01.6	underneath, like we, from the inception, like, we decide on together for all lifters.
1:05.3	And we strongly believe that.
1:06.3	In fact, Eric, I'm not going to, I'll just tease them.
1:08.6	A close second.
1:10.3	Oh, no, no. Exploring the meaning of lift... However, a close second. Oh, no, no.
1:11.4	Exploring the meaning of lift.
