The King Within: Modern Masculinity and the Sovereign Man 73: Achieving Lifelong Performance with the 20% Principle
On today's episode of The Path podcast it's a one-on-one with me where I talk about the principle that I've coined as the "20% Principle." This inspiration struck me as I recently revisited my training logs from a significant chapter in my life - in the summer between high school and college, I had the privilege of training at the world-renowned West Side Barbell under the mentorship of the legendary Louis Simmons. While this principle can be applied across various facets of life, our primary focus will be on its physical application to promote long-term health, longevity, and achieving peak performance.
