The bits about FOMO and identifying with something too much were interesting thoughts I needed in my head at the moment. I find that whoever your guest is, you always ask the best questions, and by themselves make an episode worth watching.

As a 53 year old male, I know I am well after my prime. But I always tell myself that you can be happy where you are going if you are happy with where you have been. I've done a lot, ticked boxes, had fun, got stories, seen stuff. Still more to do, sure, but I'm happy with where I have been. I always think a podcast is great if it makes me take notes, and I took notes here. Thanks :)

I’ve been listening to this podcast for a while now but the timing of this particular episode was impeccable so many things I could relate to and learn from as a new dad, business owner, and former athlete..this pod was pure gold!

[@DavidWestcough]

This video really hit home for me; it’s the boring stuff compounded over time that creates the results. It comes after a week where I’ve tried to ramp up my training volume in view of an upcoming competition but, by end of the week; I just couldn’t bring the intensity that I wanted. It has reaffirmed what I knew I needed to do in reducing my training to the minimum effective dose. Great interview Chris!

discipline equals freedom, aa the guy with the clock keeps saying. It buys you freedom better than even money could.

[@moresquatsmoretwats6298]

🤣 the guy with the clock that says 4:00 am

Fitness and business, best topics.

When I see other people so together it makes me feel like shit. Actually it doesn't but it should. Enjoyed this chat, it is fun to see how others think and feel.

This was a pretty interesting interview honestly. I've had to get more into the "do the minimum" required and focus on less things as I've kept pushing myself so much the last few years that I think it's been counterproductive. I'm not professional athlete, but I've always been athletic and I still workout and do Sambo... but I'm in my late 30s, so I feel like I have to really watch what I can recover from.

Hey Chris, reckon it would be great if you could get Ross Edgley on, knows his stuff on health and fitness and is always a fun character in interviews.

[@kesselsol]

Dude is definitely conscientious as hell. But now trying to learn some openness to experience skills that are needed for running a business.

[@TheChewingGroundsPodcast]

Omg I loved this! Such a great podcast. I love the topics discussed, definitely taking away some for my podcast. Keep up the great work, I just uploaded a podcast on my channel too!

[@chrism8180]

Wait wait, so even though all my past efforts went unnoticed, or were exploited for anothers gain...now I'm supposed to hop back on the bike and reinvent myself? For who, this isn't a reality I want to be a part of

[@citaprevia9833]

effort is the trap of "you are not good enough" : whilst setting you´re behavior : reclaim the *Scapegoat* or remain lost in fake is.Rael and Love is not pretenidng!

The weight lifting thing is more about genetics than age. It takes a fair amount of time to know your body and have the knowledge and will power to do everything just right and by the time you're there you might just find that you no longer care that much. Everybody plateaus in non-skilled sports and that's not a question of age but maxxing out your genetics. You could just as well say that a 19 year old human is past their prime because their height has stopped increasing. In many cases it's not that your body could not do this or that anymore but your mind no longer sees the point. When you've done the same thing for years and years it gets kind of older...you cannot keep warming the same meal over and over again...you cannot put your head on a pillow an infinite amount of times and be equally fired up to wake up and go to the toilet and brush your teeth. Things have a habit of becoming routine. Weightlifting is not a skilled sport; it's a chore and a really time consuming and tough chore at that.

[@martynspooner5822]

I agree that ageing is a bitch, but it is still much better than the alternative. It must be harder for athletes or I guess anybody. whose self body image is a huge part of their identity.

Hahahahaha .... He finally realized that we all get old ..... And there is nothing you can do about it 😂😂
