I had a great time talking with Dan Austin author of “The Way Of The Vegan Meathead” Dan is a high-level competitive powerlifter who has thrived on a vegan diet for over a decade. Now in his 40s, he continues to get stronger and his best lifts remain ahead of him. Check out Dan’s website at https://www.daniel-austin.com/the-way… In this episode, we discuss

*Why optimizing hormones encompasses far more than just increasing testosterone

*The optimal rest breaks for building strength

*Why keeping training sessions to an hour or less does not apply to building strength

*Why people gravitate toward adrenaline-based activities

*Why physical activity is so important to improve all facets of your life

*Dan discusses why he doesn’t tolerate people that “Mess with his shit”

*The difference between building strength vs demonstrating strength and why too many fixate on the latter. *Why Dan makes sure to have more protein and fat in his vegan diet

*Competitive powerlifter examples that have gotten stronger on a vegan diet

*And much more
