Summary

In a perfect world, we would never need to rest between sets, because we would never need to stop lifting. Unfortunately, we live in an imperfect world, and we do have to consider rest.

0:52.7	a lot of minds were blown away, how there's nuance to the topic,
0:55.8	and it was great. But you kind of kept saying this group, this tribe of individuals, and you
1:01.6	kept saying, I believe, Haasda, like Mazda, and I heard from many people that actually is
1:08.4	Hadza. And so it's a huge, Haasda, Haza, and many people that actually is Hadza. And so it's a huge
