Summary
Arnold loves to say, "reps, reps, reps." But it's not just a slogan. It's wisdom based on experience. Because more than anything, Arnold has found that the best things in life occur when you're hungry to learn -- and hungrier to put in the work. In this episode, Arnold explains why, at 76, he's still working as hard as ever.
You'll also learn why dumping water on your body might not be a great way to cool off. And the latest science on high-protein diets and kidney stones.
