    I'm following you since a few months already. Love your focus science as the best source of advice, even more than your own experience. Also, like a lot the humor that you add into... found myself laughing alone while looking your vides... maybe because I'm so focused trying to follow your logic on the content, that usually got me out of guard when you shut a non expected joke. (takes a nice amount of concentration for somebody that's not English speaking like me to follow up... but I'm almost there!!! ). Keep gong Dylan, truly appreciate your effort. Best wishes from Uruguay / South America (just in case you don't know where it is... :) ). Bye.

    If you ever get a chance, I'd love to see a video about being a more successful cyclist while balancing a second sport. I'm a swimmer, so after CX season until late spring, I'm mostly putting in pool time, but figuring out how to ramp one down and ramp the other up is a bit hard. I know that without committing to one or the other I'm limiting myself somewhat, but that's fine. I don't need to win those CX races in the fall, I'm just looking to not get my head kicked in because I didn't spend all my time on a trainer over the winter. Great video. I'm going back through all the archives now. Congrats on 1 year!

Thanks to your video i am going to take the leap and incorporate squats into my weight regiment.
