22:24
Yeah.
22:25
The first thing you need to think about is does this match my calorie goals to help me ach- achieve the outcome I'm looking for? Is there enough protein? Okay.
22:33
Does it actually help my, me feel full and stay satiated? 'Cause that helps my consistency.
22:38
And then does it not taste like shite?

JamesHOST
33:07
Yeah.
33:07
It was all of, it was just sportsmen.
33:09
But what probably started me on the personal development kinda mindset side of things was more coming out here, and then actually being able to have those open, honest, vulnerable f- conversations with people.
33:22
And it was a bit easier, 'cause you don't really know them.
2:50
So for our audience, mate, yeah, why, why don't you share a little bit about who you are, what you do, who you work with, and, uh, yeah, some background.
2:57
Yeah, absolutely.
2:58
Well, I grew up in a small island called Jersey, just off the English coast, close to France.
3:02
No, I'm not French.
3:03
Yes, there's, yes, there's cars in Jersey.
3:05
We don't just get around on a horse and cart like most people think.
3:08
But sports was my life growing up, rugby, football, tennis, you name it.

32 MINS LATER

35:23
What, what have you been picking up on your side?
3:00
So, um, for our audience, mate, um, yeah, why, why don't you share a little bit about who you are, what you do, who you work with, and, uh, yeah, some background.
3:10
Yeah, absolutely.
3:10
Well, I grew up in a small island called Jersey, just off, uh, the English coast, close to France.
3:16
No, I'm not French.
3:17
Yes, there's, uh, yes, there's cars in Jersey.
3:19
We don't just get around on horse and cart like most people think.
3:22
Um, but sports was my life growing up.

What, what have you been picking up on your side?
11:38
yeah
11:39
okay so if you wanted to develop your chest why would you only train it once a week yeah Doesn't make sense, right? Okay.
11:48
So if you only train your chest once a week, every week for a whole year, there's 52 opportunities for your chest to get bigger, stronger, faster, whatever you want to call it.
11:56
Just improve.
11:58
Train your chest twice a week.
12:00
Okay.
12:01
There's 104 opportunities.
15:13
always been
15:13
always been doing it.
15:14
I've technically always been doing it.
15:15
So I want to pre-frame this like that.
15:19
But when I then came out of it, it probably took me two years of doing quote-unquote hybrid training to get to the point where I was just as strong and could run the time that I could.
15:30
I think the biggest mistake people make when they start trying to push this hybrid side of things is...
15:36
they try and do everything at once and they get injured.
15:39
They over train or they don't enjoy it rather than going, okay, my strength is going to take, we're not going to turn off, but we're going to go to maintenance mode because my focus is running, building my endurance.
