I think you covered it. Just saying you are keeping up with the industry covers you.
You don't want to lie and say, "I lock myself in a room until all hours of the night staring at excel on the computer, wearing a suit and order in sh_tty food. Every once in a while, I have someone just slightly older than me scream at me." Granted it would be good practice, but no one expects that.
