0:00.0	You're listening to Power Athlete Radio, a podcast dedicated to empowering your performance every damn day.
0:08.0	Join former NFL Pro and Power Athlete founder John Wellborn as he dissects the greatest minds in strength, conditioning, and more.
0:17.0	So whether your goal is to be the hammer, destroy mediocrity, or simply move the dirt, you've come to the right place.
0:24.6	Now with the warm up done, let the gains begin.
0:27.5	Hey, Power Athlete Radio listeners, I want to welcome you to another banging podcast.
0:32.9	I'm John Wellborn and I'm joined today by Dr. Ben Skutnik.
0:36.2	And we got a doozy today. We are coming in and I'm going to give you the title straight up, which I usually don't do when I do my intros, but I'm going to give it to you. It's Hammer 90, GLP ones, 16 weeks of hungry and the sugar cut. So this is going to be an exciting one and we're going to pack a lot in, but we're really excited to jump into Hammer 90, which was a program that we used a while

1:22.3	But I was going to bring Ben on the podcast just to talk a little bit about Hammer 90, what the
1:27.4	program is, how we're going to do it, the body comp, the mental discipline, and really the
1:31.0	accountability piece. But also we get into a little bit of what it means to be hungry. And then I want
1:36.7	to review a little bit on the podcast that we launched recently with Jay Campbell, where we were talking
1:42.7	about GLP ones and the sugar cut.
1:45.0	It sparked up a lot of questions on the Discord and just a lot of questions in general.
1:48.0	So I wanted to kind of get through that a little bit and figured nobody better than Dr. Ben Skidnick.
1:53.0	Welcome.
1:54.0	What's up?
