Episode 9 isn’t loaded on Itunes yet. Tried downloading it to my phone and couldn’t get it.
My brain is exploding – so much info. Definitely one to revisit multiple times.
That anecdote John shared about the guy who DL’ed 405#, then fell to 385# and hasn’t gone up since? Me. Thanks for that (not sarcasm).
[…] POWER ATHLETE-EPISODE 9 […]
Seriously Ingo…all I could do was just sit back and listen…I’m still trying to understand it. I tell you what though, afterwards I went and crushed my f*cking workout! I finished with heavy prowler shuttles thinking about what John said about the limits he and Luke were brought to when they pushed the prowler earlier….very motivating…
It was a privilege to be part of that one!
Could listen to John for hours, days. Knowledge bombs…
Great episode. Any details on Dr. Parsley’s “sleep cocktail”?
Thanks John for expanding on the sleep topic from episode 8, and for everything else you talked about -what a wealth of info! And to all you guys, it’s nice to hear some of the scientific side and analysis of some of the topics that you are discussing. Good work on this episode and keep ’em coming.
