Um, and it was, so the, so the things that are big levers for, let's just take injury first.

Okay.

One, big increases in volume, in training volume and load when you aren't prepared for it.

So there's a lot of people out there who they'll get, you know, let's do this challenge.

Let's do this thing.

Bad idea, bad.

If you are drastically increasing your volume or your load, that is one of the big risk factors for acute injury, okay?

So when we say progressively load,

Like even my coach, if training is going well and I'm getting much stronger, we don't jump up load very fast.

We're still only increasing, you know, 5, 10 pounds a week because we know it's possible that I get stronger faster than my overall recovery can tolerate, right?

So we're careful about how we increase load.

Putting the tissues in –

under stress progressively is a big injury reducing factor.

So, and now I was actually watching, um,

quarterback on Netflix, which followed a few different quarterbacks.

They're following Patrick Mahomes.

And one of the things I did like that they were doing was the, his trainer was saying, you know, we put him in a lot of different positions under stress and load over time so that the first time his tissues deal with this is not in the middle of the game.

And so a lot of people think, for example, like form is really important for injury prevention.

There's not a lot of research that actually backs that up, to be honest.

Like take round back deadlifting.
