Go on your own journey to figure out how you achieve these things because it plays massively to someone's strengths here and it plays massively to someone's strengths there.

How do you balance those two things together?

So I've got a couple of questions for you on it.

Okay.

Which is, why did you choose those specific parameters?

No, no, no, it makes sense.

There's a few things that have been interesting to me since I've seen the concept, because one, I assumed it would have been kind of personal goals that you've then said, okay, who else is coming to the party on this one?

But the exact concept of those specific sort of balanced numbers is a fun game I've always liked to play.

So it's 505, was the 500-pound back squat sub five-minute mile.

One year later, I did a 1,200-pound powerlifting total the same day as a sub-12 Ironman, so 1,212.

Six months later, 600 kilo powerlifting total, same day as a sub-six hour, 60 kilometer ultramarathon, 660.

And then I think I deadlifted 250 kilos the same day as a 250 kilometer single stage ultra.

So I've always liked that neat number pairing.

So I very much got the concept of 250,

That's pretty good going.

Jesus, 250 kilos.

Background in powerlifting, which I think is important for this conversation because I think where...

somebody would perform best in the untapped game setting is where they don't need to dedicate much work, if any, to the bench press.

Because that doesn't chew up adaptive energy, it doesn't chew up training allocation, it allows you to just focus on the adaption required for the marathon.

But then again,
