| 0:00.0 | Hello, everybody. It is Monday night. It is 7 p.m. Eastern Time, which means it is time for Iron Culture live presented by Mass. I am here with the good Dr. Eric Helms. Helms, how are we doing tonight? |
| 0:17.3 | You know what? I'm in good spirits. We've gotten good feedback on the mass issue. I just launched my new vlog series on the 3D muscle journey YouTube channel for my contest prep, bright future, good things happening. And you know what? I'm going to focus on those things rather than some of the other things that we're going to talk about, at least to start the podcast. |
| 0:40.4 | Yeah. So what is the nature of this vlogging? What's the occasion? |
| 0:44.2 | The occasion is, is that I am competing this year. It is my proper pro debut. And it did take me a little time to actually get the vlog started. I've actually been dieting since mid-April. |
| 0:56.6 | So I think I'm on my 7th or 8th week. |
| 0:58.8 | So the first entry was, hey, I've been dieting for six weeks. |

| 1:12.6 | event, who's also our audiovisual content mastermind. Oh, I should say probably Andrew is |

| 1:33.0 | documenting the fruits of my off-season labor and seeing if it's enough to not get stopped too |
| 1:39.9 | bad by the WBF Pro ranks. Well, speaking of giving people some space, this is a new experiment for me. |
| 1:48.4 | We've got Chai the cat in the room during the recording. |
| 1:52.3 | She's normally her mother is taking care of her when I'm recording, but her mother is out. |
| 1:59.6 | And Chai, she's one of those cats who her entire life she is only known |
| 2:04.3 | having a parent working from home so her understanding is that she gets human face to face time |
| 2:10.8 | 24 hours a day for her entire existence so um we're going to see how this goes and hopefully |
| 2:16.3 | she's not too disruptive here but but it'll be an experiment. |
