And you know what happens?
People become intrigued and interested.
Like I never, I haven't tried this since high school, you know?
And they become interested in just the challenge of it.
And as we become almost distracted by the challenge, we're now like finding ourselves conditioning, you know?
I always think that's an important part that sometimes you gotta draw people in to show them what they might be interested in.
And from the output or the effect of it, I just think that when you're able to blend some, still maintain some of that strength training into the exercise.
So as you mentioned, let's say I'm doing some kind of a pushup or a burpee.
I mean, there is an anaerobic component to that that is going to be helpful rather than just walking or just jogging.
Not to say that that isn't an effective means for strict cardiac conditioning.
It's one of the ways that we've had for centuries to do it.
But I just think that if we can blend it, then it becomes maybe a little bit more interesting and you get some of those crossover benefits and it doesn't become so segmented in terms of what we're trying to do.
During my workouts, even as a young kid just starting out, I wanted to know what was supposed to be doing the work.
Once you do that and you start to seek that out and say, okay, well, the bicep is what's supposed to be doing the work, then I want to make sure the bicep's doing the work.
So I would seek out ways to make that happen better.
And when I was able to do that, I could feel the stronger contraction.
I was no visionary.
I just felt like I knew that that was going to be better for me if the muscle I was trying to grow was being stressed more.
When I was attempting to do this across different exercises, I would notice that what I could do potentially on a
where my arm is up, you know, where you asked me to flex my bicep, that position, I couldn't do if I was, you know, doing a concentration curl, or I couldn't carry over to a cable curl.
