Why do we train? Why do we work out? Why do we move? Why should we play? Jumped into a conversation about the bigger picture with DJ Murakami, and the ensuing discussion went down some rabbit holes ranging from neurological states during olympic lifting to masturbation. DJ is a guy who is anything but conventional and this episode is right in line with that. Join us for a discussion not about the nuances of biomechanics, but rather, about how movement can give meaning to life and provide us with a feeling so powerful, that we chase it for the rest of our lives.
