Timestamps, Captions, Headlines in the transcripts
Hi, I know that this is more a suggestion than it is a question, but I find it a little bit hard getting along in the transcripts for the AMA's. If there would be some captions/ headlines or anything equivalent to the timestamps in the YT videos, that would be very beneficial. Also something as a table of contents would be helpfull. I also want to really thank you for your excellent work with this podcast it really delivers huge benefits because its so actionable. The band width of themes you cover is really impressive and I was able to enhance my own life in various ways through some of the information you provided and the protocols you suggested to make use of the data. Have a nice day :)
Do you want to meet a 74 y.o. power lifter who trains consistently for over 55 years now?
I know this is not a question for AMA but I hope "this is the way" (I had to write it...) to let Dr. Huberman know about the powerlifting champion from Poland. His name is Jan Łuka (Luka). He was my coach at a gym for few years. He was born in 1949, started lifting when he was 18 and never stopped. There are many YT videos of him working out today. I was inspired by your talk wit Dr. Galpin about not having enough of lifelong weight lifters to learn about. I would love to help Dr Galpin and you to get in touch with Mr Łuka (and possibly help to translate). All the best and thank you for sharing all this knowledge with us!
Movement skill
Dr Galpin briefly mentioned movement skill as one of the parameters of athletic performance. How does one acquire such skill? How well does it stay with you throughout life? We've all seen professional athletes in their 70s outperform young athletes just based on skill. My squash coach had 2 knee replacements and could barely walk but he was still the best player in the club just based on skill. Are there protocols to enhance skill acquisition? Will someone who is completely self-taught but with 10000 hours of practice outperform someone with 1000 hours of deliberate structured practice? Does having skill contribute to confidence and reduce stress in a competition? Sometimes athletes can perform their best under pressure (high stakes, spectators, etc) and sometimes they totally fail. Does one have to develop stress resistance specifically for high pressure situation or just having thousands of hours of practice guarantees that you can't fail? Where does movement skill end and mental skill begin? Is playing soccer a movement skill? What about video games? I imagine that there are sports that are more strategic and based mostly on athletic performance and strategy, such as competitive rowing or cycling, and sports that are much more skill based, such as ping pong or racecar driving.
