0:00.0 | All right, everybody, welcome to another episode of the Muscle Intelligence Q&A. |
0:22.0 | I'm your favorite host, Ashley, the Muscle Maven Van Houten, and I'm here with another guy, you know. |
0:27.6 | You're my favorite host, Ash. |
0:29.2 | Ben McCalsky. Ben, how's it going? been in Toronto for a couple of weeks, doing lots of work, getting some workouts in, enjoying some time catching up with great friends. She's just a lot of learning and a lot of really |
0:42.8 | great conversations. So it's been an awesome couple of weeks. Awesome. Actually, I mean to ask you, |
