So to me, that's the secret sauce, if you're a trainer listening, is because you know the benefits, is learning to integrate it into your regular training. Yes. Because at the end of the day, you have to appease the client, too. At the end of the day, your client has to show back up. You've got to be able to help them.

But, I mean, this is probably why a lot of the bros continue to work out with your training partner where you had the overcoming isometrics where you give them 315 on the bench press even though he can't hold it.

Didn't you say that someone had to do that? Oh, yeah. I mean, that was both squatting and bench pressing. This is early. I'm like 21, 22, maybe 22 at the latest.

He's like, oh, you'll be fine. Don't worry, I got you. You know what I'm saying? And they get behind me. And same thing for the bench press. Like at that time, it was- And he just had you hold the weights.
