It's none of the stuff that like feels these big rewarding things out of it. But it is a saying it's me stepping back and going, what if you spend a year? What if you spend a year? And you weren't trying to maximize growth or maximize strength, but you're really trying to maximize joint health and function. Would you regret that 40 years from now? I doubt it. Right?

And so it was just like looking back and going, let's run the counterfactual. What if you didn't do that? you probably regret it.

So then you make that choice. So lifting for me specifically the last year has just been like, so not fun. But like, that's the conscious decision I made of investing in myself. So yeah. Thanks for the honesty, man. Yeah, man.

Sure.

Sure.

It's always a practice, right?

You can work out at night, but you want to just be careful of how much is disrupting your sleep and what type of workout you're doing. Especially if your day is laid out. The example I think I gave earlier was really high intensity, sympathetic fight or flight type of day. If you're then always matching that with additional sympathetic drive, some people that's okay.

But a lot of people in our experiences, that has been their quote unquote root cause of fill in the blank, right? So low testosterone, brain fog, sleep, sort of like, okay, when you're on gas pedal all day, maybe for you right now, Your exercise needs to be a little bit more restorative rather than the opposite. It's not always the case though. I train at night with generally no issues whatsoever.

I like it. I almost always train at the end of the day. So it can be just fine. Got it. Just be mindful of, if you're looking at your system and going, okay, great. I can do really high intensity stuff. I can do, we've like, our sleep technology is pretty outrageous. So I can verifiably say these things. I can do lots of stimulatory stuff. I can watch Lord of the Rings in 8K on a 90 inch screen.

I don't have this, but like right in front of my face. A minute before bed. And I have zero issues with blue light. I have zero issues with stimulation. That's just how you're wired. Sleep architecture is going to be fine. Sleep duration, sleep quality, the amount of time, the depth within each sleep phase. I track all these every night, right? No change for me.

So intensity of exercise is going to have no bearing on me personally. But that's for you specifically, yeah. Totally. What I've seen, though, for a lot of our people... is not always, but many people it's the opposite, where we have to be a little bit more mindful. And so what we might have to do is say, okay, we can train, but your training has to look like this.
