23:13 What are some things fighters do (resistance training) that are not typical of the “sets and reps” crowd, the smallest dose with the best possible results?
29:50 Common mistakes women make vis a vis training and nutrition
37:20 Do both hip thrusts and squats; Jonathan can barely fit in the Nautilus hip thruster.
