Summary

The proven system 1000+ men use to stay lean, strong, clear, and capable. https://www.muscleintelligence.com/apply/ What if your biggest performance problem isn't strategy, discipline, or effort, but subconscious resistance you can't see? In this episode, Ben sits down with high-performance coach and regression hypnotherapist Elliot Roe to break down how elite performers remove the "brakes" that keep them stuck below their potential. You'll learn how subconscious patterns form (often between ages 5–10), why talk therapy can miss the root programming, and how physical sensations like tightness, nausea, or dread can reveal the exact block that needs work. If you've ever known what to do but couldn't make yourself do it, this conversation will change how you see your mind. 5 Bullet Points: How subconscious "programs" drive self-sabotage Why fear is behind most performance blocks The cube-to-ball metaphor for elite optimization How to spot your blind spots fast A simple self-audit to reveal resistance Watch My Previous Episode with Elliot: Watch on YouTube Listen on Apple Podcasts Listen on Spotify Work With Elliot's Team https://elliotroe.com/ Get Started with Muscle Intelligence Whenever you're ready... here are 3 ways we can help you look, feel and perform at your best: 1.
