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
