Because if you go to the point where you cannot lift the weight again in good form, then I'm pretty comfortable in saying, well, Steven, you went to failure. Good. So I know you went far enough. If you stop at an estimated one or two reps shy, which is what research would say is okay, you know, passable, same, same result potentially. How do I know it was really one or two reps? I don't, I don't.

Cause I think if, if there's a gun to your head, you might say, oh, I could do two more. Well, now it wasn't one to two, it was four and four is completely not as effective if not at all compared to the one to two in reserve. So when you do these exercises and to this degree of effort, there's gonna be a little bending of form. Now I'm not saying that the form should break down.

You might find an abbreviated range of motion. You might find a little bit more momentum involved. That's all okay for me, as long as it's still controlled. If the exercise you're doing no longer resembles what you were doing in the beginning,

then you're not doing it right your form has broken down to a point where i don't think you're getting the benefits of that you might not even actually be training the muscles you were trying to train right you might have shifted the focus where you started the exercise it was supposed to be for your chest but by the time you're done it's for everything but your chest because you're just trying to move your body through space that's not effective if you're trying to build muscle you want to direct the tension into the muscles you're trying to build and sometimes form can become a little bit lax in that pursuit but not to the point where you're actually taking it off of the muscles again

It is a good connection back to what we talked about because I believe that still comes from that epicenter of dysfunction, which is that thoracic spine. Because when you go like this... you're actually internally rotating the arms too. So this is internal rotation of the shoulders. If I go that way, that's the external rotation.

If I do it the way we were just doing it up against the wall, that's external rotation. More difficult when you're higher than when you're lower. But when you're in this position, once you do this, what tends to follow is that spine tends to follow you in that direction. When you start to round here, your neck is more of a consequence of what's happening back there.

Because when you're here, what are you going to do?

Got to look up, right? Because our eyes always want to see in front of us. So it's not that your neck is necessarily being pulled in that direction or the fact that you're looking down. It's the fact that your body's following that. And when it follows, the adaptation is, well, okay, now I've developed these tightnesses this way and I've lost that mobility into extension of my back.

What do I do to compensate? I got to look up. So now I'm walking around looking like this. And that's that sort of nerd neck. I think nerd neck is less of something you have to treat from a neck situation and more of something you have to treat from that back mobility.

Well, I mean, you're certainly going in the wrong direction, but I think when it comes to injury, preparation does go a long way towards helping someone to avoid it. It's not completely avoidable. I actually tore my bicep in this arm. But when it comes to the more common ones, I think you can look to the joints that are either
