Bart announces his retirement from boot camp training after a decade, reflecting on the community built and lives changed through fitness programs. The guys explore the challenges of getting visible abs at 40 and debate what sacrifices are worth making for fitness goals.

• Bart is retiring from Camp Gladiator boot camps after 10+ years of training
• Final workout celebration happening Saturday, May 31st at Austin Oaks Church
• Mitch and Bart met through these boot camps, creating a lasting friendship
• Cam Haines' book "Undeniable" is now a New York Times bestseller
• Getting visible abs requires eating less food, not necessarily more ab exercises
• Abs become visible at different body fat percentages: upper abs at 16-17%, full six-pack at 12-13%
• The key question: what are you willing to sacrifice for fitness goals?
• Four elements of success mindset: drive, focus, confidence, and purpose
• External motivation (looking good for an event) vs. internal motivation (deeper purpose)
• Finding balance between fitness goals and other life priorities is essential
