Notable Quotes:

“What your body needs right now is less; less is more in your case, which is why I've taken out your cardio and given you more food.”

“So, if you put your body through chronic stress, and training is a stress, right? Even if it's enjoyable, then you feel relaxed; mentally, it's still a physical stress on the body.”

“All of these things are really important to understand when it comes to programming. Things aren't random; they're there for a reason. The variety is there for a reason, and the repetition is also there for a reason.”

“If you have been a cardio bunny in the past, how much have you killed yourself through cardio and felt like you ended up fat skinny, so you're not happy with your results anyway?”
