And maybe in your first year you might tie, but over the years, like, I don't know.

Yes.

Either beating the reps or the load, because I think people can get too caught up on quality to where they never go heavier and they're cool.

Well, this is your area of study, so I trust your answer.

But people will agree with you.

It'll be divided.

If you put up a poll, what do you guys think about this?

You'd have 50% say quality.

and then 50 say quantity because the and and over the long run quantity leads to injuries and we don't talk about this enough because it's like the the typical bros in their 20s that are like just squat deadlift and you know okay how does that pan out 30 years or 20 years from now when you've been you know lifting like you don't they don't even understand they haven't gotten there you have to have the nagging pains you were like

should I deadlift today or should I do single leg RDLs or like a seated leg curl?

I think what you're talking about is so important.

Like yesterday we were in your gym working out and, you know, you took a shower and came out in a towel, peeled down.

You have ripped abs.

Some people don't know this about you.

You look amazing.

You're 49 years old.

You've been lifting weights since you were 16.

Same here.

We've both been lifting weights for 33 years.

We started when we were 16.
