Resistance Training: Strength
Like, you, you know, unless you're like an early day body, like that, like the first time you're lifting weights for the first year, maybe you can pack on some muscle for sure, 15 pounds...
"But, but as a, as a medium or advanced body, bodybuilder, strength trainer, it's very hard to build muscle."
Omega 3: Index
That's right, creature of habit, baby. When I got my Wild Health results back and did my consult over there, they were like, you're training really hard and you need to bump your Omega-3.
"When I got my Wild Health results back and did my consult over there, they were like, you're training really hard and you need to bump your Omega-3. So we would suggest eating a can of sardines every day. Yeah, that's good."
Red Light Therapy Discussion
I go right into red light and I sit in front of the red light for 20 minutes and I alternate front of the body, back of the body every other day.
"And at that point, I'm prepping my red light panel. I go right into red light and I sit in front of the red light for 20 minutes and I alternate front of the body, back of the body every other day. And that's where I do my breath work."
Sauna Discussion
The sauna is an infrared sauna. I wish it got hotter than it does, but it sits at about 175 degrees.
"I double it up. And so I'll do that for 20 minutes. And then I walk out of the guest bedroom where my red light panel is. And I start heading over to my sauna."
Cold Exposure Discussion
30, something like that? No, this time is about I'm in the sauna about 5.50, 5.50, 5.55.
"Yeah, yeah, about I'm getting into the cold plunge at 6.30 every morning. Okay."
