Genetics. Do they feel safe? Show me nutrition. Show me their training age. But what's noticeable there is that we have disciplines that require greater range of motion and skill of body control and high power output. Right? Huh. So one of the things that we do in our programming for adults is I make you sprint once a week, like sprint, because people have not sprinted.

And I don't mean you can go out and run. I don't think you're capable of that. But I'm going to put you on a bike. I'm going to put you in control. I'm going to see what your peak wattage is, that sprinting.

So ideally, I would love you to be able to do some hill sprints and repeats, but I don't think you have the tissue tolerance or the range of motion for that, and I know what the outcome is gonna be. But I can put you on a bike and say, can we hit this peak wattage?

And what you just discovered there was, hey, I still need to maintain my ability to move quickly and have control through great ranges of motion. That is a recipe for why if you did yoga and did some sprints, you're gonna be pretty badass. You know, that's a pretty good way.

It's a lot of busy work. There's a lot of busy work out there. It makes people feel like they're involved in a program. Again, the way we want to take our feelings out of it... how do you progress those pink dumbbells? 1,000 reps is 2,000 reps, right? Show me progression. Suddenly I can't progress and regress those things. The other thing I want to say is like, is it making the thing better?

What are we training for? And, you know, I think it feels decorative to have busy work. And I do all this prehab corrective exercise. I'm like, hold up. Why don't we do the thing we're doing and regress and progress that and ask if you have native range of motion, yes or no.

But, you know, if we look at the typical person, especially someone listening to this podcast, they don't have two hours in the gym. So if your program is requiring two hours of me, I'm out. If it requires an hour of me, I might be out. You know, I'm so busy that sometimes I eat lots of 30- and 40-minute pieces peppered throughout plus a lot of other play, and that's good enough.
