The best things in life are on the other side of your comfort zone. When it comes to exercise, physique, and confidence, frequently the key to getting there is INTENSITY.

Most lack it. Many don't know how to access it. Some abuse it. Josh and Jordan have to help clients with this on a daily basis and, as dedicated amateur athletes, they have to access it themselves.

Also on this episode:

-"Little Miss Muffet" - Jordan deals with a surprise guest who drops in, literally. (hilarity ensues)

-Josh found out where the governor on his car engine was set.

Weekly Challenge: Accumulate 2 minutes of dead hang time from a bar, daily!

Question for the Listeners: Tell us about a time when you had to hit the intensity button to push through something. What did you have to do or tell yourself?

What is the foundation of a good bikini body? Josh and Jordan dig deeper into what it takes to get "bikini ready", giving extra perspective from April's bikini episode. They investigate the true social cost of being lean, as well as how to begin any journey that gets you to a lower body fat percentage.

Also on this episode:

Josh inexplicably takes what he calls the "thought-island-hopping campaign" to navigate from anchor splash to bikini atoll to whoppenheimer to answer a listener question who is vacationing in Japan. (This listener is wondering why Japanese people seemingly eat more fats and are leaner).

Josh responds with coaches' intuition and an interesting research article from AgEcon, written by Benjamin Senauer and Masahiko Gemma.

Jordan talks about the relevance of the "mountain top" experience, ie your peak. You can look around and check out the view, but you can't live there.

Weekly Challenge: Say "Hi" to a stranger 1 x daily!

Question for the Listeners: What social thing would you be willing to give up to make progress on your physique goals?

A lot of people are reluctant to start strength training. Sometimes it's a genuine concern about something going wrong. Sometimes it's just not wanting to be uncomfortable. Several years ago, Josh started using the elevator pitch "I help people overcome their fear of weightlifting". Facing Fears is something that we have to do everyday. High performing people aren't necessarily fearless, just pretty good at managing it.
