Notes from Tim Ferris - Coach Summer
-
Strength without mobility is worth nothing
-
Best athletes are often not the strongest
-
34:00 - There are stupid gymnasts and there are old gymnasts, but there are no stupid old gymnasts
-
Connective tissue takes much longer to strengthen than muscles. Not a fan of beginners training to failure for this reason
-
More is not better. There is an effective dose
-
Train smart (and hard)
-
You have a unique set of strengths. Some people find it easy to pack on slabs of muscle. Others are gifted with good flexibility. Focus on your strengths
