Episode notes
Late-Bloomer Strength Hack
- Bryan started lifting at 15 to make varsity after being late to puberty and focused on big compound lifts.
- That simple, repeatable template built rapid strength and got him on varsity the next year.

- Bryan describes Max-OT's low-volume, high-intensity approach and how training to failure taught him limits.
- He notes people often misjudge proximity to failure without experience training to true failure.

- Bryan admits he largely ignored nutrition through years of intense training and assumed performance justified eating anything.
- He only prioritized nutrition seriously after leaving CrossFit around 2015–2017.
