Become Harder To Kill (Episode #120 - Musings)
About this episode
Why did Juan's animalistic workout make him harder to kill? In this episode of 'Musings' Juan and I discuss: my recent foray into free diving breathe techniques (and how it differs from the Wim Hof method), Juan's poor customer service experience with Reebok, the euphoric gorilla workout that Juan had on Tuesday, why mastering your emotions allows you to become stronger, the downsides of hyping yourself up, certain mindstates becoming addicting and our personal motivations for exercising so much.
As always, we hope you enjoy, Mere Mortals out!
