We have all the Olympic lifting gyms, even our gym, we kept a towel on the platforms so that women particularly would pee themselves when they would receive a heavy clean, heavy snatch. And we would just wipe it up. They'd actually urinate on the platform. Oh, yeah, that happens all the time, all over the Olympics, everywhere. You'll see that. That is, bladder incontinence is not normal, right?

Totally normal to poop yourself before a fight. That's what animals do. Totally not normal to pee yourself. Peeing yourself is a sign of dysregulation, for sure. So what we're, as you're seeing is though, hey, I can't manage this high intra-abdominal pressure I'm creating. And what ends up happening is we pee ourselves. So we can start by saying, well, are there positions and shapes?

Theoretically, I want your pelvic floor to work in all the shapes. It's maximally, and there'll be some shapes where it just doesn't work as effectively. And if you're a man, so we're getting into it. If you go pee, you'll see a lot of men will put their hand on the wall and they'll adopt a anterior pelvic tilt to pee. And what they'll do is basically just turn the pelvic floor off.

And so if you stand up and do a big anterior pelvic tilt, your pelvic floor will lose some of its tone and it's easier to initiate a string.

No, no, no. I'm saying that it's much more difficult to pee in this position where we have high control over these systems. And what you'll see is that most people will adopt a shape where they basically inhibit their pelvic floor so they can pee standing up.
