systems. His training strategies have been used by thousands of
elite performers and top athletes worldwide, including the Navy
SEALS, UFC champions, and dozens of teams from the NFL, NBA, MLS,

aerobic conditioning, how to properly recover, the importance of
stress, and more. 


“To me, performance is living a healthy, long life where you’re
free of disease and you can do all the things that you love
doing.” 


“Exercise, strength, and conditioning activity, they are tools to
make our bodies more resilient to stress.” 


“Aging is really just the accumulation of stress over the course
of our lives and ultimately our bodies lose the ability to adapt
to it and then we start the declining process. If we can make our
bodies much more resilient and much more stress capable, then we
can delay that process significantly.” 


“You’ve got to get enough sleep. Sleep is the #1 thing. If you’re
not getting sleep, you’re severely limited because that’s when
your body is the most recovery driven.” 


“I have a really simple rule for most people. 80-90% of the time
when you walk out of the gym, you should feel at least as good as
when you walked in, if not better. You should not walk out of the
gym feeling exhausted and defeated and destroyed.” 


“Exercise is the single most powerful tool that we have.” 


“If you have really bad genetics and you have a shitty lifestyle,
it can catch up to you pretty fast.”
