But I'm going to ask you some questions because people do ask these questions.

Sure, sure.

Is it – like do you train differently?

Like is there a different type of – are there sets and the reps different do you think for training for mass versus strength?

How do you know if – so I'm sorry.

Going – for someone that may not know what their failure is, like how do you identify close to failure?

For people that are not powerlifters or even professional bodybuilders, what are – perhaps someone that you're – would approach your coaching business or something like that who are wanting to – they're wanting to gain some mass and function and strength, everything, not like a competitive level.

But like what would you say – like how do you do –

exercise selection, like choosing a hack squat over a barbell squat or doing a, you know, a bench press over dumbbells?

And then also, like, are there certain, like, if you were to, like, are there, like, the top five exercises for, like, for each muscle group that you would consider?

It also – I've had this conversation to some – I mean a little bit of this conversation with Stu Phillips and Brad Schoenfeld about training failure, lifting heavy, and things that you've given some more details as well.

But what's nice about it and what I like about it is there are a lot of people –

a lot of older adults, women that have been scared of lifting because of the like, oh, no, I got to lift heavy and I'm going to injure myself.

I might bulk up too much.

I mean, we can talk about that.

But like it does give –

Once I found out it was like you don't have to lift heavy.

You just put the effort in, fatigue yourself.

Now I'm lifting heavier too.

But I started to get into even starting.
