Summary

Most men who come to me for guidance don't have huge bodybuilding goals. They’re usually successful, well established men seeking new levels of potential and performance; wanting more fulfillment and purpose out of life.

Building an impenetrable body, even if it's not to compete on stage, allows you to live your greatest life.  Not just for yourself, but to lead your family, team and community. Just like your finances, little deposits into your health compound over time - so knowing what these high-impact levers are could give you back 10, 20 or even 30 good years.

So for 20 years plus, gosh, maybe 25, now it's about 20 years.

0:23.5

I was myopically focused on being the biggest, baddest, best bodybuilder on the planet and

0:29.1

got to the top of the world, top of the bodybuilding world. And I loved every step of it.

0:33.5

And I knew it was a necessary part of my development as a man. I think it's not, I always said,

leader for my family, like being a great father. And I found that for me, and I'm not saying
