Also, what are the rest periods between sets?00:09:41 - I was training overhead tricep extension single arm and with EZ bar high volume high frequency.

Impacts on all aspects of life and fitness? 00:16:27 - Heard Dorian discussing weed on the recent Huberman pod. Did you listen? Thoughts? 00:20:15 - You mentioned you talked about your recent experiments with Glucose monitoring on a recent pod.

There’s a big push from some influencers saying they are a waste of time.00:45:01 - What’s the biggest thing each of you have changed your mind on in the last year?00:50:37 - Any upper back specific training principles? Lats seem to take over the majority of the time.00:54:19 - How would you guys design a powerbuilding program?00:57:29 - What’s a good swap for seated/lying leg curl to hit the short head of hams? Leg machines suck at my gym.01:00:04 - When I do low-rep work, I sometimes don’t feel my muscles at all. People say the pump doesn’t matter if weight is being moved from A to B. What’s your take on this?01:03:13 - How do you go about progressing a pyramid set strategy?01:06:37 - I’ve plateaued on leg extensions (8 reps).
