He fell in love with the discipline and the science. 11:45 For years Ben set the intention each day that he would do the hardest workout he has ever done. 17:56 Athletes from before the 1990s learned by watching, feeling and experimentation. This developed a skillset of awareness. 21:09 The root of all transformation is muscle contraction. 24:43 Contraction should be the challenge, rather than completion. 31:10 Ben’s course Hypertrophy Mastery delves deep into muscle science and impact for all body parts and all body types. 31:58 Master a very small number of exercises first and then diversify. 33:53 Do not go to failure on a set until you reach unconscious competence. 38:05 Immediate post-workout food is a big mistake. 42:55 Ucan is a non-insulinogenic starch. 43:18 Too much stress is the kill switch for building muscle. 49:42 The focus should not be on getting stronger, it should be on getting better. 52:05 Muscle building is an internal meditative experience. 58:23 Things aren’t supposed to hurt. You can train hard with no joint pain. 01:04:19 Steroids will not change you if the motivation is insecurity. 01:05:08 Competitors should start with their doctor. If you have good testosterone levels, adding hormones will not help as much as you think. 01:07:26 Before hormones can be beneficial for you, address thyroid, adrenals, HPA access, GI stress and inflammation. 01:10:24 Extended nasal exhalations will bring down your heartrate almost immediately. 01:12:12 Ben’s morning routine begins with an expression gratitude. 01:21:26 Ben’s desert island nutrient is blueberries or almond butter. 01:22:42 Ben frames his diet around 6 simple foods: wild meat, lots of green vegetables, blueberries, olive oil, avocado and cacao. 01:23:53 Ben’s elevator pitch: Empower every early teen boy and girl with the knowledge and the skill to build their greatest body.
