Key Quotes​

Key Quotes​

  1. "Push-ups work. And deficit push-ups work even better."
  2. "You don't have to go all the way down. Just go as low as you can to get that baller deep stretch."
  3. "It's not a load you can do for 20 to 25 reps. It's really closer to your 10 rep max, but because of the magic of my reps, you can squeeze that shit in."
  4. "People still do this, but again, people are always looking for new fangled bullshit, which sometimes works out well, and you keep it in your gym bag. Sometimes going back to basics is what it's all about."
  5. "None of this is gospel. These are exercises that if you like, give a shot. And if you can use them for a few weeks and really get the technique that you like out of them, they're going to get better."
