| 0:00.0 | How to rehab from a lower back injury. |
| 0:02.4 | Instead of thinking of like, okay, what's the specific thing that I should be doing, |
| 0:05.6 | finding what you can do? It's been in a lot of time working on the things that you can do, |
| 0:09.3 | pain-free. How to deal with chronic, small injuries, like, clicking knees. |
| 0:13.4 | Like, how many times have you banged up your shoulder? It's like, oh, it's the same bum shoulder, |
| 0:16.9 | I keep tweaking it. At some point, you have to take a step back and look at, okay, what are the |
| 0:20.8 | contributing factors that always lead to me tweaking this shoulder? The amount of stimulus growth, |
| 0:25.8 | essentially, that you can give yourself from very little time in the gym. If you just |
| 0:31.2 | take a single back machine and a single chest machine and do one to two big, controlled, |
| 0:38.1 | mechanical dropsets. We're trying to build muscle. You need to be eating adequate protein, |

| 1:07.1 | I got Josh Settle-A-Cheer in Jimmy House. Guys, introduce yourselves because you don't people. |
| 1:11.3 | Don't don't shit. I know who should go first. I'll go first. What's up guys? I'm Jimmy House. I'm |
| 1:15.2 | a black belt from Arizona. Currently moved to Austin, Texas. I trained under John Danher at |
| 1:19.2 | New Wave. I'm also a competitive powerlifter and bodybuilder. What are some of your numbers for |
| 1:23.6 | powerlifting? My most recent gym, sumo deadlift PR, cheater PR, was 815 pounds. But prior to that, |
