- Avoiding obsession and compulsion while becoming proficient in a art form (bodybuilding, martial arts, etc.)
- Being a man of many talents while staving off burnout
- Undertaking new challenges with Strongman training
- Volume, intensity, and knowing how hard to push during training in order to make progress
- Coaching clients who thrive off “crushing” every workout
- “99% of the supplements available on the market don’t do anything”
- What role (if any) supplements play in helping people succeed in training
- Dr. Helms’ personal experience with dietary supplements
- How much evidence does he need to see before feeling comfortable enough to use a supplement or recommend it
