After 20+ years of focusing on health, you might think we'd have it all figured out. But the truth is, the best gains still come from small, strategic tweaks - not dramatic overhauls.

In Part 1 of our annual Five Factors Year in Review, we explore why structured intensity beats "just go hard" training, how mobility might be the unlocking factor you're ignoring, and why the simple nutrition habit of 30 grams of protein before 9am can transform your consistency.

You'll discover why the Five Factors aren't independent pillars but ingredients in a stew - when you adjust one, you have to rebalance everything else. We break down the essential 20% across all five factors that deliver 80% of the results, and why going deeper into any single area actually works against you. This is about continuous refinement, not arriving at perfection.๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿผ Get the full Listener's Guide hereโค๏ธโ€๐Ÿ”ฅ Free Newsletter & the Chase Club๐Ÿ‘‹ New to Chasing Excellence?
