| 0:00.0 | Truck family this week on Barbell Shrug, Physiology Friday. |
| 0:03.6 | Our main homie, Dan Garner, is back in the house. |
| 0:05.7 | And we're talking about building a resilient physiology. |
| 0:08.8 | How do you train harder without your body breaking down? |
| 0:11.7 | How do you manage external stressors? |
| 0:14.4 | All the things so that you can build a resilient physiology. |
| 0:18.1 | And as always, friends, make sure you get over to rapid health report.com. That is where Dan Garner and Dr. Andy Galfin are doing a free lab, lifestyle, and performance analysis. And you can access all of that over at rapidhealthreport.com. Friends, let's get into the show. Welcome to Barbell Shrugged. I'm Anders Warner. Larson, Dan Garner. On today's Barbell Shrugs, |
| 0:40.3 | we're going to be talking about resilience and breaking these things down. One, we want to know |
| 0:44.4 | kind of like what the highest level understanding of resilience is, how it plays into your physiology, |
| 0:50.4 | and then really like the inside outside of resilience, outside in stress, |
| 0:57.3 | but really just how do we build a robust physiology that allows your body to withstand |
| 1:03.3 | stress without becoming so beat down and then structuring kind of like a lifestyle |
| 1:09.6 | performance optimization plans around that so that you can |
| 1:13.4 | train harder, get more out of it, recover faster. |
| 1:16.4 | And I'd really like to start kind of at the top of this thing. |
| 1:19.7 | I feel like resilience is one of these fun subjects where like it's kind of like the word |
| 1:25.2 | optimization to begin with where it's like that sounds |
| 1:28.3 | like best in the world for a word and if you type like recovery into it's like recovery |
| 1:35.1 | theaurus and they're like use the word resilience and you're like oh yeah totally that's the |
| 1:40.6 | one I'm going to use like what is the best health they're? They're like, just say optimization. Like, what the hell is resilience? And like, why do we need it as a physical being |
| 1:52.7 | and like in our lives and how it relates to gym, training, sleep, stress? What is resilience? |
| 2:01.4 | Resilience. I mean, technically in Webster's dictionary, it's sleep, stress. What is resilience? Resilience. |
