He added, “Always looking for new techniques to keep this 250 million year old dinosaur ? body balanced and optimal with not only all my past injuries but my daily grinding family/work/training/repeat schedule. It all takes its toll, so being proactive is critical. We only get one body, so we gotta take care of it.”
