How do I pepper the environment with inputs so that I'm not just in a tiny movement language? I love that. I want to go back to the sitting on the ground. Should it be painful? Should it be sore? One aspect of your physiology that will not change, doesn't have to change, is your range of motion. As you get older, we should be able to maintain our range of motion.

So what's interesting is that if we're suddenly confronted with tasks that ask us to be in certain positions that we're not comfortable with, we're going to be sore. You bet. You're going to have to squeeze your butt. And something you said earlier, like once I'm warmed up, I love that phrase. Right.

Once I've had my 27 supplements and my coffee and my activation, I've gotten to my sauna, I can do anything. I feel great. The real question is, should I have to do all that stuff for high performance? Absolutely. But should I have to do all of this prep to have native range of motion, to have baseline range of motion? Probably not.

let's say a couple of variables there. What's your training age, right? If I'm going to take a beginner and you in the same thing, we can make big jumps. You and I have been, we've deadlifted together a decade ago. Like we can just go. We know our bodies, the patterns are well ingrained. Our tissues have exposure here, right? There's some things we can do.

So I love that you're starting to see that what's the minimal amount of warmup to do the task. And on some days you may be sore, maybe stiff, and it takes a little more time to go, get right underneath it. One of the things I think we have this opportunity to do is put play back into warmups.

So one of the things is that I suspect, and please correct me if I'm wrong, you don't find a lot of joy in doing these like rote A, B, the world's greatest stretch, wah, wah, wah, do the active, like it's not that fun. So what, let me talk about my experience working with a team at Berkeley. I have this shout-out to the women's water polo team at Berkeley who are my just total family.

These women are incredible. But I came into the sport and looked around, and I saw really ineffective warm-ups that weren't a good use of the time, that didn't prepare us to get into a fight in 20 minutes or 30 minutes later. So if you went through your warm-up and said, I'm going to be in a fight – Am I prepared for that or not? And that's a nice rubric to say I'm nervous system arousal.

I have a little sweat on. I've practiced. I've touched some positions and shapes. But what I see is that in the typical training session, there's a lot of work to get done. So now I think training has become very, very dense. You know, here's this piece, here's this piece. Now I do this accessory work. I got to hit these cards.
