    Expect to learn Chris’ reflections on his prep for his 6th Olympia Championship, Chris’ message to his younger self, how to balance the sacrifices it takes to become elite, how becoming a dad changed Chris as a person, what life will be like after retirement, how to stop being less harsh on yourself and much more…
