manner, you know, and also there's so much, like the reason I talk about kettlebells so much is I just love what, I love what they allow because you can, like I'm doing an eight week thing right now where I'm really not doing barbells for eight weeks and it's a great reset.

I can use kettlebells for conditioning and strength.

I can, you know, the kind of thing,

Dan John or Brett Jones talks about like iron cardio or the armor building formula or something.

And you do that and you're not going to lose your strength gains and you're going to gain conditioning and you're going to gain muscle.

And I'm going to come back to barbells fresher.

At my age, you do have to iterate.

At my age, you do have to, you know, I think at my age, it's hard to just do three to five reps and keep trying to just do pure strength.

I know I needed to do the, you need to walk away from it to come.

I think for me, you know, I think that's reasonable.

And it's also fun becoming like, I cannot tell you how every day.

So in this process, Michael, a friend of mine and Amy's, a really incredible guy, gave me the comfort crisis.

And he was like, I think you'll really, I think this will mean something to you.

And adding rucking in, but more than that, adding in, okay, at a stage in life where

I think the pull toward comfort is really natural, actually, and seductive.

To read about the benefits of discomfort, and I didn't need your book to tell me to exercise hard, but the idea that it's not a bad thing to walk around in a state of readiness toward discomfort in a society,

Because, honestly, we've all gotten a flat tire.

And there's a difference in your mind.

If you're somebody who takes walks in the annoying rain sometimes, you're just prepared to take the walk in the annoying rain.

So you're not also grappling with that.
