On this episode of the podcast, we are joined by PGF Season 9 Champion and 10th Planet Jiu-Jitsu Purple Belt Kevin Beuhring.

Kevin discusses what it was like being away from home for 6 weeks while competing at the PGF, what life has been like after winning the PGF title, the depressed state that follows a big accomplishment, how Kevin prepared for the PGF, the zone of command that makes grapplers elite, what makes a great coach, why Kevin started training, the mindset to come back from a loss, "Signal vs. Noise," creating dilemmas, and Kevin's goals for the future.

On this episode, Chewy and Eugene discuss the main principles of "deliberate practice" from the book "Peak" by Anders Ericsson and how to better develop and maximize progress in BJJ.

We discuss why talent is overrated, why some people excel physically at specific sports and why BJJ is unique, training for skill and not for knowledge, why developing skill is a "messy process," what makes a "skilled" coach in BJJ, the importance of having a "mental representation" of the technique, trying to acquire skill is not always fun, and how to get out of plateaus.

On this episode, Chewy and Eugene discuss TRT, Chewy's experience with it, and whether using TRT in BJJ is cheating.

Chewy shares his first experience with steroids, if intent matters when using Testosterone, women using TRT, the issues with modern medicine, potential injuries from abusing Testosterone, if BJJ should have stricter testing, and the stigmas around Testosterone use.
