  • The first lesson in understanding women. (21:27)

  • The cost of temptation and fame. (23:20)

  • Shout out to Neckzilla! (51:57)

  • #ListenerLive question #1 – Is it normal that I found when I dropped my steps 10k per day, lowered my training to 4 Upper/Lower days from 7 days, and increased food my hunger increased? (54:41)

  • #ListenerLive question #2 – When do you have hard conversations with people about their goals and that they have to take it into their own hands? (1:07:51)

  • #ListenerLive question #3 – Is there something that you had other than MAPS 15 that you would suggest running in the meantime because part of the reason I need the lifts is for my sanity? (1:22:05)

  • #ListenerLive question #4 – I sit all day at a desk job, but I will walk 1-2 miles before I lift in the morning and an additional 2-3 miles, sometimes walking/running in the evening. I average 12-17k steps a day, weekends sometimes more. Is this too much? Am I affecting my gains? (1:30:52)
