 that become a supporter of this show and
 you'll get
 access sound good no reason not to
 really
 exactly all right wrapping
 up go on you've got a long list of news
 topics wrap up things to discuss today I
 do first thing before I reckon before we
 get to the next wrap up in another month
 or so the CrossFit Games would have
 happened
 wo what do you want me to say exactly I
 feel like CrossFit games are just
 getting smaller and smaller every single
 year do crossfitters even care about the
 CrossFit games anymore but is it because
 we are getting further and further away
 from Crossfit because when we were in
 CrossFit think about it like what did we
 know 40 50 people at the CrossFit gym we
 were at in all Dolla and so everyone
 there knew about it everyone there was
 talking about it we see those people
 four five six times a week
 so it feels like a big deal when you're
 in it maybe now because we're out of it
 we don't notice as much but then again
 the CrossFit YouTubers that we used to
 watch I feel like they're struggling
 with having content to make cuz CrossFit
 just isn't
 it like The Buttery Bros they're doing
 more hrock content than CrossFit content
 so they were the the CrossFit they
 produced and filmed and did all the
 stuff for the the
 documentaries kind of do good ones that
 used to be on Netflix yeah and now
 they're not even doing CrossFit content
 um couple other vloggers again same
 thing sort of what there's not much to
 talk about there which is weird cuz it
 was so big it could have been so big
 like theoretically it's almost like a
 yearly Olympics because the workouts and
 stuff that you can do are endless right
 and people from all around the world
 compete against different people from
 different countries so like I feel like
 it had the potential to be really cool
 sport to actually like
 follow but even we watched some news
 CrossFit news thing the other day on
 YouTube and they were like where are all
 of like the OG athletes everyone's
 leaving CrossFit where are they going
 they're just not competing in the games
 because the CrossFit Games doesn't offer
 much anymore or both cuz like there's
 the Rogue Invitational which apparently
 is it's like CrossFit but it pays more
 and it's better yeah that was going to
 be my first point like all these other
 comps coming up CrossFit competitions or
 Fitness competitions you can win more
 money than actual CrossFit games so it's
 not really worth going to like you get
 the title of being the world's fittest
 person but does that really mean
 anything if you didn't win all the other
 comps that are out there I find a lot of
 the Australian OG crossfitters are going
 to H rocks and partnering with hrock and
 doing High Ro things these days which is
 just a if you don't know it's a easier
 not definitely not an easier version of
 CrossFit it's a standardized workout so
 it's a same workout simplified I think
 more simplified there's no Olympic
 lifting there's no barbells there's no
 dumbbells there's CER Bells sandbags
 sled like rowing ski W walls so simple
 things running things that pretty much
 everybody can do there's no technical
 things to it like Olympic lifting and
 that's like gymnastics so it's very easy
 to get into it's not easy to do but I
 think that draws a lot of people to that
 rather than Crossfit because there's
 that technical I don't know I I actually
 enjoy the technical side of things yeah
 like learning new skills and you know
 yeah you don't see any results from it
 but you do learn new skills which is
 something I like but obviously not
 everybody likes I think the only thing
 that I miss from doing CrossFit I don't
 even know if I miss it necessarily but
 the only thing that I when we did
 CrossFit I really enjoyed the
 competitiveness and like the cardio burn
 because the workouts like sure there's
 weights involved in a class but the
 workouts are like they're cardio right
 whereas now that we just do
 weightlifting oh I struggle so much to
 do cardio I don't know if it's cuz it's
 by myself but like you've been putting
 like little wads so like little
 cardio how would you describe them like
 little finishes I guess at the end of
 the weight lifting session and I avoid
 them like they're going to kill me
 whereas CrossFit we would do them every
 single day You' avoid the weightlifting
 like going a kill you yeah and now all I
 want to do is lift weights I don't give
 a crap about cardio but um I feel like
 yeah I guess if CrossFit was done better
 it would be such a good way to stay in
 shape because it has both right I think
 unfortunately it was CrossFit it's the
 business crossfit's fault as well they
 just kept changing things like how you
 get how you you know how the opens run
 how you qualify the standards there's it
 changes every single year and
 everybody's just like me what's
 happening yeah why would I bother doing
 that when I could go do this horox thing
 where it's just going do it type thing
 um but you better start practicing your
 cardio cuz I'm going to start adding WS
 in for the weekly
 challenges it's been quite easy at the
 not easy but again entry level but it's
 going to kick up a notch a little bit in
 the next couple of weeks great uh which
 leads to bodybuilding comps there's been
 a few big bodybuilding comps on recently
 so all the influencers all the
 bodybuilders have been looking super
 lean the best they ever possibly look so
 obviously they're just pumping the
 content and then everybody's looking at
 their own body going well why don't I
 look like that is that why I've noticed
 I've said severely noticed clients
 friends acquaintances just people at the
 minute being unhappy with their
 appearance their body in particular it's
 so so predominant at the minute is that
 why you think because social media is
 just being saturated with like
 competition ready bodies yep like
 athletes these people are athletes keep
 in mind like they dedicate everything to
 looking this way and they only look this
 way for a day yeah right like they're
 this Peak physique for one day and then
 it's over and they'll they'll still look
 great like no doubt but not what they're
 posting yeah and they look great leading
 up to it obviously and give them another
 month they're probably going to have
 some downtime so they're not going to
 look as good but yeah I'd reckon I've
 experienced the same thing a lot of
 clients a lot of people in the gym you
 know I've been going to the gym where's
 my six-pack M and it just does not work
 like that and unfortunately I think it
 is due to I reckon it's getting worse
 and worse every single year cuz I do
 notice this every year after like some
 of the big bodybuilding comps are on and
 a lot of the influencers SL bodybuilders
 are doing the
 shows there seems to be a trend in
 people disliking their
 body and then you know
 obviously what it would be summer on the
 other side of the globe as well which
 doesn't help so everybody's got their
 tops off oh and then there's us over
 here you mean like
 feeling out of shap cold yeah sad the
 sun doesn't come out
 I can relate to that though honestly
 yeah I feel like every weal I swear to
 God we talked about this this time last
 year everyone around us right now is sad
 just because of the weather and like
 Melbourne isn't even the worst place to
 live for the weather in winter you know
 like there's plenty of other places that
 have it bad but it's still actively
 noticeable every single day that the
 weather makes everyone just feel down
 about themselves and about life in
 general and there definitely are days
 where the sun doesn't come out like
 today yeah almost did
 um so yeah I just and I want to bring
 that up just so people are a bit more
 aware of it I guess it's better for us
 cuz we are I don't know I'm aware of it
 and I don't judge my body on other
 people which is definitely hard to do
 and hard to learn but again I just want
 people to notice like what you're
 consuming can influence what you think
 of yourself I feel like we've only been
 talking about that over the last couple
 of shows as well
 self-comparison the average Paradox all
 that sort of stuff so go back and have a
 listen to those if you're feeling down
 because you probably are killing it
 you're just trying to compare yourself
 to the top
 0.1% of the population who are
 absolutely ripped at the moment cuz
 they're bodybuilders I almost I was this
 close to bringing a news article today
 about actually let me I've probably got
 it saved
 about um mental health and how it's
 changed for young people in relation to
 specifically in relation to social
 media actually cutting like now that you
 mentioned it I've had about four guys in
 the gym come up to me and ask me how to
 cut like cut body fat yeah and I'm like
 you don't have anything to cut if you
 cut now you would look terrible because
 you haven't got any muscle and it's
 because all these other influences are
 obviously going through their cuts into
 their bodybuilding shows so they're like
 well if I do that I'll look like that
 and it's like no they've been training
 for 20 years 10 years whatever to and
 then they do a cut and then they look
 great you got to build muscle first but
 that's just again that just goes into
 the influence of all these people doing
 these bodybuilding shows influencing the
 general public thinking that they need
 to do that but you don't need to do that
 yeah and I feel like you
 can yeah I don't know what it is about
 cutting but you can see if you go and
 follow a bodybuilder on YouTube there's
 heaps of do vlogs and stuff and you
 watch their videos they will talk about
 how absolutely awful they feel when
 they're cutting and when they're at
 their low on their lowest calories right
 um so anyway this study is new
 researchers found a long-term link
 between social media and poor youth
 mental health
 so the research found this is from
 government data analyzing mental health
 Trends so take it as you will but
 Australian men and women
 from 2001 to
 2022 it found that mental health mental
 health levels worsened across the board
 especially in young women and I can't
 even I really need to share the graph
 because the graph the drop in the graph
 is insane say that it's gone
 from you being 75% happy out of 100 most
 of the time for females
 it's now an
 average of
 61% out of 100 being happy most of the
 time so it's like a what 20% decline
 since 2001 between then and now I mean
 covid also happened yeah so there's that
 to consider
 but I just feel like it's it's just more
 and more prominent but we're just like
 it's here to stay
 so let's just get on with our lives you
 know what I mean M like what do we it's
 never going to go away now yeah so what
 is everyone supposed to do about being
 sad all the
 time stop judging yourself and comparing
 yourself to others just have to do the
 work yeah quotations for lack of a
 better word like internally and
 externally external get in the gym do
 the work and just be happy to do the
 work and be healthy and functioning yeah
 like living a long healthy and happy
 life is the best thing you can do forget
 about what you look like focus on that
 first and I feel like once you focus on
 those and that's a lot easier said than
 done but once you living a healthy happy
 and you know it's going to be a long
 life it looks just a side thing yeah
 yeah just a bonus I guess um but yeah
 it's it's a huge Topic at the moment and
 I feel like it's just getting worse and
 worse and I I don't know if it is
 because of the bodybuilding CS happening
 at the moment I don't think the
 bodybuilding has it that big of a pull
 right I don't know don't know cuz I was
 don't
 know because how many of our clients
 would know or even be in the realm of
 these bodybuilders on social media not
 all of our clients even have social
 media true but the ones that have been
 talking about it do have social
 media
 anyway you all look great you're killing
 it don't worry about what you look be
 healthy and happy um all right is it
 more exciting I I do like this topic
 because I I come across this
 article uh and the guy presenting the
 article was like anti influencers making
 products MH and he didn't think and he
 thought this was a bad idea and it's you
 know these people shouldn't be doing
 this and I I was sort of watching it I
 agree but then sort of thought about it
 and I disagree with him now I think they
 should be doing it so let me get to the
 point so petera everybody knows petera
 like pet say his full name properly
 Peter AA
 yep is probably the go-to longevity guy
 um and he is a pretty big influencer I
 really R stuff he talks from a
 scientific background but also
 anodically because he works with people
 on these things as well so it's not just
 here's a study showing this he's like
 here's what the study shows here's what
 happened with my clients and he has a
 big practice so he has many doctors
 under him as well and he collaborates
 with many other scientists so I trust
 his stuff so he is suing Aura ring so
 Aura ring is a ring that obviously goes
 on your finger read your sleep we've
 never used one it's it's similar to
 whooop how we've spoken about whoop and
 Apple watch in the way it just tracks
 your body metric so sleep daily exer
 version and I'm pretty sure like a some
 sort of activity score as well yeah so
 it gives your recovery scores activity
 scores tracks everything um so Peter AA
 is suing them for 1.2 million because he
 was an early scientific
 investor Scientific Advisor sorry yeah
 um and his role was to basically help
 develop the ring into a good product but
 also use his
 social media presence to push sales
 MH uh and influence other scientists to
 use a rings in their studies as well
 so is that a good thing or a bad thing
 so basically he's suing them because
 he's owed a certain amount of shares and
 those certain amount of shares are worth
 1.2 million so
 basically with big companies like that
 early investors or advisers get a share
 dividend rather than a money monetized
 like a payout or a certain amount of
 money so when the when the company's
 actually worth something they can take
 those shares and sell them if they want
 or hold on to them so obviously it helps
 the business grow because they don't
 have to give somebody 1.2 million
 straight up MH so are you asking if him
 being a part of a ring and trying to
 push a ring onto other scientists to use
 in research is good or bad and push on
 to his following following yeah so yeah
 I mean if he's I think it's fine if he's
 investing in it and he's pushing it to
 his following I would say that's fine
 because he's invested a significant
 amount into it so he obviously believes
 in it regardless of whether it works or
 not he believes it works so he didn't
 invest any money into it he only gets
 money if he makes or ring money okay so
 he if he grows a business he gets money
 if he doesn't he doesn't get anything m
 mhm so he's obviously got that money
 like that money in in the background and
 knowing if I grow this business as big
 as possible I'm going to make as much as
 possible so if he gets 100,000 shares if
 he can grow this business to I think it
 was valued at something some stupid
 billion dollar company if you can grow
 it to 10 billion those Shares are going
 to be worth 100 million you know what I
 mean yeah
 so is it good that
 he's in like being pushed
 to I guess
 inflate is he inflating the value of it
 or I think anyone does that anyway with
 any product that's what you do you have
 a product you believe in it you try to
 get it to make money right regardless of
 whether you're a scientist an influencer
 a Salesman a marketing person a company
 of any description I think when you have
 a product the whole goal is to push the
 product onto whoever you're connected
 with to make money I feel like it's just
 different now now because people have a
 big social influence so it's easy for
 Outsiders to say it's bad because he's
 just trying to make money he's just
 trying to make money when theoretically
 it's just a maybe a lower entry way for
 him to make money like if he made a ring
 before social media existed and he how
 would you sell it like he was doing ads
 on the TV maybe radio Flyers knocking on
 doors I think it's the same thing as him
 pushing it through his podcast or social
 media
 platforms so I think it's fine I think
 it's just a good way again I don't think
 it's bad like he obviously wants to make
 a great product from what I know it is a
 great product and it is one of the best
 trackers out there um so I think they've
 done a good job in making a really good
 product so why wouldn't you want that to
 grow so obviously as a business grows
 they're going to be able to create a
 better product as well so if you've got
 a following to leverage that yeah even
 better I think it's even better and what
 about the science side of it because I I
 feel like when you talk me this earlier
 in the week you said something about
 how it was bad not beneficial for him to
 be pushing it onto other scientists to
 use well again has he like got a
 conflict of interest recommending this
 to other scientists to use in a sleep
 study
 so cuz then like if people see oh that
 that aura Ring's been used in all these
 sleep studies AA ring must be the best
 but it's just perod is saying hey guys
 use this aing instead of the other stuff
 you're using so again is that good or
 bad yeah like again but it could be good
 because the more studies done with the
 aing is going to improve the data which
 improves the
 product or is it just a way to let Aura
 dominate The Market in and out of the
 science
 yeah so if if and then the question is
 if AA ring didn't have Peter AA on as a
 scientific adviser would they be the
 company they are now yeah even if it is
 a good product or not yeah so yeah I
 just found that super interesting then
 obviously I was diving into that which
 goes and then athletic greens ag1 come
 up as you
 know a scam what do you mean every every
 every piece of content you listen to on
 the internet ag1 sponsors every YouTuber
 every podcaster if you listen to
 podcasts or you go on YouTube I have no
 doubt that you've heard of ag1 because
 it's everywhere everywhere and I think
 that's why it's so successful so ag1 was
 actually founded by a New Zealander
 which it's cool when you're an
 Australian and something's founded by in
 Australian or in New Zealander because
 we put ourselves close together I guess
 against the rest of the world so
 apparently I won't I can't I didn't take
 this guy's name down but it's not that
 important but apparently he got ran out
 of New Zealand because he was ripping a
 whole heap of people off in the Housing
 Industry doing all these dodgy things he
 got sued for a couple of million and
 then he left for America and then
 decided to start a supplement company so
 anybody can just sort of put some
 packaging together the as we've said in
 previous podcast the supplement industry
 in America is not
 really um governed or regulated where in
 Australia and New Zealand especially New
 Zealand's even uh better than Australia
 it's very regulated so we can't just go
 and put some stuff in a bag and say hey
 here's this new supplement it's against
 the laws here where you can do that in
 America so this guy has done that he's
 just gone to America and just started
 putting this stuff in a bag and said
 athletic
 greens obviously paid a lot of money to
 get a good name a good ring name and
 then I think the success has come from
 the
 um the money that this is why we don't
 do podcast in the afternoon uh the
 reimbursement from influencer selling
 okay yeah so do do you have a stance on
 whether it's good or bad so the the
 again the articles that I went into
 basically athletic greens is a waste of
 time you're better off just eating some
 vegetables as we've always said okay but
 in comparison to like a compacted or
 capsule multivitamin yeah so multi so
 we've also spoken about how synthetic
 multivitamins don't really get absorbed
 by your
 body but in a in a double blind tests
 synthetic um supplements vitamins like
 so the hard press capsules were actually
 more beneficial than athletic
 greens so um a but hbes just
 Andrew hman is one of the biggest
 advocates for athletic greens every big
 podcaster that I listen to is an
 advocate every big podcaster that I
 trust did no that I still
 trust like says that athletic greens is
 the best but who's they're not doing the
 studies on it either taking and I think
 it is so successful because all these
 podcasters are getting really big
 Kickbacks for pushing this stuff so I
 believe they get quite a lot of money
 from the first sale or however it
 works athletic greens is actually a
 subscription so I don't again I can't
 remember how it worked but these guy
 broke it down and these guys are getting
 a shitload of money from pushing this
 product
 and if you dive right into the research
 there's actually been
 some a whistleblower from athletic
 greens who's been fired from them
 obviously now so he was in the
 packaging he was in charge of the the
 compounds and the ingredients coming in
 and then it getting packaged and then
 sending it out M and some ingredients
 come in it had mold in it and it was a
 big order so if he had said like send it
 like he wanted to send it back and get
 rid of it because it had mold in it but
 it would have like just ruined their
 supply chain and it would have set them
 back a couple of months of getting this
 so they used it anyway they used it
 anyway so this guy's come out and said
 this is what happened don't buy athletic
 greens oh so and again it's not
 regulated in America so they could do
 that where in Australia it's completely
 different
 so a whole big batch went out that
 actually had mold in it mold in it yeah
 that's terrifying cuz some mold can
 really [ __ ] you up especially if you're
 drinking it yeah I feel like that could
 be very bad W so there's and there's a
 couple of stories like that around
 athletic greens so it's just like it
 actually isn't a good company
 and yeah but I think it's become so
 popular because it's so good to push so
 you know as if we were to start pushing
 it we'd make a decent amount of money if
 people started using it and like would
 get a subcription base yeah so you know
 it is quite that money incentive for
 influencers to push athletic greens is
 there so it's a good not a good idea
 it's a good income stream for them yeah
 so again this is almost a flip side I
 think Aura ring is a good product and
 yeah pedota should be pushing it and
 should be recommending it so to make a
 good product but then on the other side
 you got athletic greens which is
 actually a pretty [ __ ] product but is
 pushed by a lot of influencers it's like
 who do you trust yeah this is like I
 love working with people and I love us
 doing the podcast but I don't know the
 last couple of months I've felt so lost
 and deflated about what to share with
 our audience because so so much stuff
 like this happens like I only want to
 share real beneficial true things that I
 find but how do I even know what is good
 what's real because every time we find
 something that we trust and we think is
 the way something new comes out and it's
 not the way does that make sense I think
 it's just more like obviously the basics
 always work yeah but there's only so
 many times that you and I can talk about
 the basics eat good food drink water
 sleep and exercise what more is there to
 say yeah you know yeah and that's
 literally but obviously everybody's
 trying to find the quick way and you
 know things to help them do that and you
 know obviously there's people out there
 that are willing to you know
 sacrifice a good product to make money
 yeah and influence that
 way okay one more topic let's go back to
 talking about body composition
 do you think from with your experience
 and your knowledge would you suggest a
 split based workout program or a full
 body based workout program is better for
 body recomposition body recomposition
 means building muscle while you lose
 body fat at the same time everybody's
 goal everybody's goal build muscle get
 body fat yeah so what would you think is
 the
 best the best workout style oh got the
 asked this question the other day he's
 like oh I'm doing a split splits are
 good aren't they I said splits are for
 [ __ ] do a full body full body workout
 3 4 days a week and you get so many more
 benefits like you're going to get more
 muscle stimulus obviously you're working
 a lot harder so you're going to be M
 burning more calories like if you're
 just working your back and biceps that's
 or try I don't know anyway however you
 work your splits you're just not working
 that many muscle groups yes you're
 pushing that muscle group super hard but
 come on really yeah like how about you
 push every single muscle in your body
 three to four times a week now we're
 talking like now you're getting some
 good stimulus happening in your body
 you're telling your body to build muscle
 because it's stressing your body out in
 a good way and it's more act you're
 getting more activity in you're going to
 be step moving around a whole lot more
 in your workout it's more activity so
 more like obviously body I it's not
 obvious though because cuz I feel like
 for again yes but these bodybuilders at
 the moment doing all their splits
 they're bodybuilders they're athletes
 exactly but the general public sees that
 them doing that and they think this is
 what I need to do Usain Bol is probably
 the best
 Sprinter that I know of I don't know any
 of the new guys but you say Bob Snoop
 [Laughter]
 Dog no um but you same Bol YouTube you
 same bolts workout and and if you seen
 here Usain Bolt is looks incredible
 absolutely incredible like ripped as
 most 100 meter sprinters are ripped
 because they're just absolute power and
 muscle tearing down a
 Runway but you look up his workouts
 they're boring as hell and all he does
 is run yeah cuz he's getting good at
 running yeah and that's what I mean like
 you if you wanted to look like us say
 bolt you wouldn't do his like us morals
 wouldn't do his training because we
 would just get good at sprinting yeah we
 wouldn't look like him like he's also a
 genetic freak yeah and if you want to
 look like a bodybuilder you need to go
 like if you watch the an Doos on Netflix
 SP was so Australian ofie watch the an
 Doos what the heck but if you go back to
 when he first started lifting he was
 doing full body a lot of times a week
 and a lot of volume he wasn't doing
 splits he was doing full body and that's
 when he first started Jack is very
 passionate about this obviously I came
 came here with some research sorry Jesus
 okay so a new study had well trained so
 they already well trained men perform a
 strength training program as either a
 full body split or a body part split
 does that make sense mm they trained
 every muscle group either five or one
 times per week depending on the split
 with the same number of sets after eight
 weeks the full body group lost more fat
 and gained more lean
 mass in and strength in Squat and bench
 1
 RMS the full body group had the greatest
 gains on all measures in absolute terms
 even despite being in lower energy
 balance so they were in a lower energy
 balance because they were full body
 split they used more energy so they were
 using more
 energy and still building muscle and
 losing body fat at the same time
 some research also suggests full body
 routines are more appetite suppressing
 than split
 routines although this effect again
 seems to come down to a total workout
 volume why do you think that a full body
 is more appetite suppressing than a
 split um yeah so I come across this the
 other day as well so working out
 actually helps with suppressing your
 appetite mhm and again you working every
 single muscle in your body that signal
 is going to be bigger than just doing
 your
 biceps so that the appetite surpressing
 signal is going to be bigger yeah okay
 so cuz every single muscle in your body
 is being worked rather than just one or
 two muscle groups so the signal is just
 bigger yeah yeah like I I see this in
 the gym all the time like shout out to
 Hugo Hugo's get been getting great
 results um he's just a hard Gainer so
 it's taken him a little bit longer but
 he's now like his body's visibly changed
 and I've had him on um split programs
 for his whole train like since he
 started with me and you see other guys
 no so Hugo's been on full body yeah but
 then you see the other guys in the gym
 who are on doing their splits for the
 same like for 12 months their body
 hasn't changed to think like they think
 they have and they S stand in the mirror
 flexing but their body hasn't changed
 where somebody like Hugo started off
 well under them is now almost above them
 them cuz he been doing full
 body and I'm yet to see their bodies
 change cuz they're on splits yeah but
 yeah they get a sweet bicep pump but
 that doesn't mean anything if your
 body's not growing muscle I also feel
 like it's more time effective like if
 we're talking to the general population
 right now 100% you need a lot more time
 to go in and do a split workout and a
 lot more days in the week than if you
 can easily just get away with doing
 three full body workouts a week and see
 physical change in your body right
 whereas a split if you miss a day you
 miss a whole muscle group a whole side
 the front the back legs like you miss a
 whole area of your body which is crazy
 to me cuz like it's 3:00 right now I
 really don't want to go to the gym but
 it's probably okay because we can just
 catch up tomorrow yeah you know you're
 going to be working your legs tomorrow
 my whole body tomorrow yeah like your
 legs are the biggest muscle group I
 reckon in the in your body like if
 you're thinking about legs is one muscle
 group chest is one and then back's one
 legs are the biggest one so you want to
 work that big muscle group as often as
 possible cuz that's going to be sending
 like a muscle building signal
 suppressing your hunger signal burn fat
 signal like so if you miss that one week
 it's almost two weeks without working
 your legs and without getting that
 signal of course you're not going to get
 great
 results good topic interesting full body
 everybody make sure it's happening and
 if you support the podcast then you can
 get the best full body workout program
 that there is exactly the program that
 we're doing right now good program and
 it's properly phased properly written um
 so you shouldn't just be doing the same
 exercises three days a week yeah so you
 should be working your legs three times
 a week but it's three different like
 three different are like work exercises
 each week MH to a certain extent if
 you're wondering and curious how what
 that looks like support the show and
