| 0:09.0 | Welcome back to another episode of the AirC Robert's Fitness Podcast. |
| 0:12.0 | Hope you're doing well in this episode. another episode of the Air |
| 0:13.0 | I'm gonna hit you with three different segments |
| 0:17.2 | I'm gonna hit you with a story first and foremost |
| 0:19.8 | gonna then hit you with the meat and, the really educational piece of the of the |
| 0:24.8 | podcast, although I do believe all of the podcast should be hopefully educational and |
| 0:29.4 | informative. And then number three, I'm going to hit you with my hot take at the end of this |
| 0:35.1 | podcast so number one I'm going to quickly dive into the story it won't be a long |

| 1:31.3 | you're pushing a failure right and you also have problem you heard me |
| 1:33.8 | talk about when you're doing when you're doing your workouts you're usually trying to go one to three |
| 1:38.4 | reps shy of failure so you're pushing yourself very, very, very close to failure. On a de-load week, you are not |
