| 0:10.6 | lean-in-jacked, build an unbreakable mindset, and become the man you're meant to be. |
| 0:19.6 | What's up, guys? Today I want to talk to you about how you can fix your training. We're in a |
| 0:23.8 | brand new year. You don't want to waste another year doing the same things that you did that didn't |
| 0:28.6 | get you the results that you wanted, making the same mistakes, staying in the same place. |
| 0:33.5 | What we need to do is address specifically how much volume should you be doing each week, |
| 0:39.5 | each training session, how many days a week, how many sets, what's optimal? |

And to earn that $10 million, you can work 80 hours a week or 40 of course |
