0:00.0	I thought that in the field, most coaches still think that muscle damage plays a role, that it's important, and you'll still hear that theory
0:23.1	that when you train your damage, your muscles, and then you recover, they're repairing your
0:27.0	growth. I would say that most people think that is still true, or if not most, then a lot of
0:34.2	people. I replied to one guy, I said,

2:19.6	amongst themselves, as well as interacting with those who attended.
2:23.3	So we're looking forward to that.
