He recounts his bodybuilding journey, influenced by Arthur Jones and Mike Mentzer, and stresses the importance of understanding muscle mechanics and avoiding overtraining. Yates also shares his experiences with psychedelics, cannabis, and insights on using hardships as fuel, recognizing natural strengths, and making practical life choices.
