Ep. 74: Tim Anderson on optimizing the Original Strength resets

The Original Strength resets wield an unbelievable amount of power to help you recapture, revitalize, and rejuvenate your strength, movement capacity, and life. But like anything else, the key ingredient is YOU - and as such, individualizing them to your own needs (even if that means getting creative) is the key to your long-term success.

Ep. 73: Why you shouldn't get emotionally attached to any exercise

If you want to truly excel in your strength and physical development, learn to choose exercises according to 3 categories. I delve into those categories in this podcast.
