In some cases, what you figured out over the years probably works really well. And in many cases, good news or bad news, is like, well, the more you do, uh, the better you get. Um, I have a friend who just, uh, he's, he's in his, um, uh, fuck it. It's Eric Helms. I don't know if you guys know who he is. He's a natural pro bodybuilder. He's in his early forties.

And he just kind of discovered that like the more volume he adds to his program, the better he gets. And he's making objectively the best gains ever in his fucking early forties. And he's like, man, it's like low key. I Cause I didn't want to have to do this, but I love training and it's great news. It's kind of like, damn, I really do have to do 35 sets for my biceps every week.

But for, for many people, they are 100% to your point, pushing it way too far. And it's just a matter of figuring out, I guess through mindfulness, if that sounds kind of lame, why, Why am I doing this? Like, do I really believe that throwing up after every leg day is my best path to success? Logically, like I have to talk to chat GPT and justify how I train.

Could I do it in a way that makes sense? Or am I doing this shit for vibes? And because, you know, my dad didn't love me when I was between the ages of seven and 10 or some shit like that. I made, I didn't make the class one Peewee football team. I made the class two team and I never fucking let that down. I'm never going to fucking hang my head down in front of another man.

So you bet I'm doing nine cents of hack squats today. I don't care if I have a Rabido every fucking workout, I'm a goddamn human adult nail and I will be granted my respect. If that's where the shit is coming from, like listen on vibes, dope, 100% dying on fucking hack squat. What a goddamn honor. But I'm like optimality and getting the best results. Yeah. then it's a different question.

You have to experiment with yourself. It could be more, it could be less, it could be way less. And I always get a bunch of shit, you know, in the comments, like with as many, it was a fucking ego move with as many followers as I have, you know, once you hit a certain level of bullshit, fake social media fame, the number of comments you get is like intractably large. And it's so many people.

And I say like, Hey, here's a way to train. Here's a volume. that you can do that science seems to show is kind of probably the best way to do it, I get a lot of people real fucking butt hurt. And number one reason they're butt hurt is they're doing some shit that's not bad, but they're really fucking emotionally attached to it.

Like it matters to them that they get to like, I often say like training all the way to failure is typically unnecessary for your best gains. And in many cases, a few reps shy of failure is even better long-term sustainability wise. And like I almost never hear a technical refutation And I almost always hear, like, you fucking pussy.
