That is it, right?

I want to be able to walk up this dang hill and then not wake up tomorrow in screaming pain.

So it is a, I want to do A and then I don't want B to happen as a consequence, right?

So I want to empower everyone to be able to have that and then not pay major consequences, whether it's injury or a handful of other things.

So for most people to execute a resilient physiology that is able to do many things, it's

One of the reasons, again, we called it RTAs is this concept of I want to be able to do many things and then not have severe consequences.

So you're going to have to have some semblance of physical strength.

Number one, right?

And you'd be a powerlifter or a bodybuilder or a weightlifter, blah, blah, blah, but minimal levels of strength.

If you want to look at this from the medical perspective, I can make that argument.

We can go into tons of the research.

I was about to ask you that, yeah.

Why is strength so important?

Because I feel like we've undervalued it for a long time and you could go your whole life without it.

Well, I would say that we, as a strength conditioning field, didn't help ourselves much.

uh this was actually the whole fun story here in the early 1900s strength training was viewed as something that was really deleterious it was dangerous there's a long story here but you'll have a heart attack it's this thing right and that stayed along for a long period of time the science said it was bad for you and then the science changed in fact there's a famous individual named dr karpovich who himself was a scientific advocate of this is dangerous and then

collected more data and realized actually it's not dangerous.

And then, oh my gosh, there's all these health benefits.

That happened in the 1950s and 60s.

Right after that, on the back of it, you've got Arnold Schwarzenegger.
