If I told you, Andrew, I'm going to come over here.

I'm going to try to push you over right now.

Would you stand up like this or would you put one foot back?

Like by default, you would instantly go to one foot back.

You try to lean into me and get more stable because your body instantly knows that's a more stable position.

If I can train with more stability, I know I can decrease injury risk no matter what I'm doing.

You talked about even something as simple as the curl.

When I...

It's not just looking at the bicep, but when I turn towards the bicep and I kind of screw, I call it screwing down.

As I screw down on that weight, I'm able to stabilize the torso a little bit more over this shoulder.

I can even dig the arm into my side a little bit, engaging the lats, stabilizing the shoulder girdle so that when I lift the weight, I have more flexibility.

tension in the biceps is number one, but more stability that the biceps can work from by stabilizing the entire shoulder girdle.

When I'm out in space like this, it's a little bit more of a freewheeling deal here where I don't have that stability.

So is something going to happen or go wrong from doing that?

No, but that's not creating the most functionally stable body.

So by turning your body around that arm, keeping it stable in your side and curling,

I'm able to create a little bit more stability there.

I take it the same way down to the ground with a lunge.

When you lunge and do my favorite, a reverse lunge, which takes a little bit of the stress off the anterior knee.

So stepping backwards.
