Michael and Mike talked for so long we had to split the conversation into 2 episodes. Here in part 1 they dive into Mike's history and how his thirst for learning led to his success in teaching others. Mike is incredibly well versed in physiology and the mechanics of building muscle, and in this episode he talks about how he retains that knowledge and delivers it to others.
