I think even if you were just trying to say like, how can I be the strongest I could be?

You would still need injury prevention to be number one because how many people take three months off from a lift that they're working on and wind up six months behind where they had been

when they start again as a result of that injury, and where would they have been if they spent that six months getting stronger?

And if you're gonna do that every two or three years, that's taking a huge toll off even the skill that you could develop and your maximal capacity at that.

But like I was saying at the beginning, I really think that the simplest explanation for why mitochondrial function declines 1% per year and gets cut in half by age 70 is just this like,

When I was injured, my mitochondria were completely obsessed with healing from that injury and a little bit came out of the account used to repair the home base.

Yeah.

And a lot of people aren't necessarily fully recovered from the injury either.

Oh, many, many aren't.

Yeah.

Many, many aren't.

I talked to a guy once who was – he got injured in marathon running and –

He thought he was recovered.

I thought he wasn't recovered.

And he thought there was some kind of metabolic stuff wrong with him because he's getting sick all the time.

I'm like, bro, you didn't recover yet.

Like, what are you doing going out and doing all that running?

I don't remember.

I forgot the specific injury, but one of the common running injuries.

Yeah.
