| 0:00.0 | Hey, this is Michael Kaz, and on this podcast, I explore ways of living a more wholehearted and fulfilling life. |
| 0:08.0 | I believe in the saying that what is most personal is most universal. On this podcast, you will hear |
| 0:12.6 | personal stories of struggle and challenge and what I and my guests have learned from those |
| 0:16.8 | experiences. You will hear ideas and concepts that expand your mind on topics like personal development, health, adventure, and sex and relationships. Above all, my intention is to |
| 0:26.0 | bring a depth of conversation and stories to connect more with my guest and with you. |
| 0:34.6 | This week's guest is Dr. Aaron Horshig. |
| 0:41.3 | This is one of my favorite episodes in quite a while. |
| 0:48.2 | Aaron's one of those guys that you just know that he's in, he's doing what he's doing for the right reasons. |
| 0:51.4 | He's not trying to sell any gimmicks, any bullshit. |
| 0:58.6 | He gives a ton, just an enormous amount of highly valuable information on his website, squat university.com. |
| 1:00.4 | And he looks at the body as a whole rather than just as individual body parts. |
| 1:07.8 | And that goes a really long way when it comes to injury prevention, rehab, |
| 1:12.1 | and performance. We dive into a lot of the different principles and concepts of his book, |
| 1:19.9 | The Squat Bible. And the main, the thesis of that book is that in our society today, we are overly performance driven, |
| 1:31.1 | where we forego quality for added numbers. And he talks about why that is, |
| 1:39.0 | why that's detrimental from a longevity standpoint, but also from a performance standpoint and he |
| 1:44.6 | and he strongly believes that if we focus on quality first we're going to be able to move |
| 1:50.2 | more weight run faster jump higher and we're going to do that we're going to be able to do that |
| 1:55.1 | with less pain and we're going to be able to do that for much longer in our lives this This one was a pleasure for me, and I hope you enjoy the show. Aaron, thank you so much for making some time for me, bro. We've been trying to get together for quite some time. I've been following you for a really long time and admiring you from afar, and I feel privileged to get to have this conversation with you. So thank you. |
| 2:17.9 | Hey, thank you so much for having me on the show. |
| 2:19.9 | It's a huge honor. |
| 2:22.0 | So I want to start out by saying I absolutely love, I love your website, man. |
