Yep. That's it. And then I just walk away and they're like, wow, that guy's supposed to be smart or something like that. But then they see the back of my very shiny head and it makes them happy. Yes. Okay. Which exercises? So there is a lot to say about it, but you can start with the supposition that it's whatever exercise nominally targets the muscle you want to grow.

So if you want bigger biceps, you know, some variation of doing this is probably good. And then to be honest, that's maybe 80% of the answer.

So if a lot of people, here's why I'm saying that a lot of people will look at, let's say for quads, they'll look at hack squats, they'll look at leg presses, they'll look at lunges and they'll look at regular high bar squats and they'll vex themselves infinitely over the question of which one of these is superior, right?

which is kind of like asking, you know, I need to get to Austin, Texas in two days. Which airline should I take? Like you, you ask someone who works at the airport, which airlines like really the one I should be taking. They're like, you know, I don't know. All of them really get you there. There are subtle differences, but at least make sure the ticket says Austin, Texas.

So if the exercise hits that muscle, then you're good to go. Now there are ways of seeing which exercises hit the target muscle that you want, but, a couple of what we at RP call proxies for stimulus. So this is something like tension, the perception of a lot of tension generated or exposed in that muscle.

So if you're doing chest flies and you feel a crap load of stretch and pulling in the chest, that's probably good. If you're doing what you think is a chest fly, but you misread the machine's instruction thing and you feel a ton of tension in your biceps or your forearms or your shoulders, but you don't really honestly feel anything in the chest,

On a just pure physics perspective, because of the mechanics of the movement, your chest has to be getting some exposure. But maybe you could be doing better by actually doing the exercise in a way or picking an exercise that really you feel some tension off of. Another clue to if you're stimulating the muscle properly is the burn.
