And that's seen in a medical context when people don't wear proper protection. I know that resonates with you personally because the conversation we had right before this. I don't mean to expose you, but Chris, you could just be making better choices is what I'm trying to say. All theoretical, I've never been with a woman as everyone who watches our YouTube knows.

But on a serious note, the burn is in especially higher rep sets when you start feeling the accumulation of metabolic byproducts in the target muscle. So the chest fly analogy, if you're doing high rep pec flies and at the end of that set, your pecs are burning, hey, that's probably good. You're probably getting a good stimulus there.

On the other hand, if it's just your biceps that are burning, but your pecs don't really feel much, are you getting a stimulus in that exercise? Yeah, sure. Is it guaranteed to be a really robust, really good stimulus? Probably not, because you should be feeling some combination of tension and burn. And then also there's pump.

Again, none of these are mandatory, but together they're kind of like puzzle pieces that take what could be a C-plus exercise for you and make it an A-plus exercise if you're getting all the feelings right on this. So another one is pump. How much after several sets of the workout or of the exercise โ€“ how filled with fluid is your target muscle?

So if you're doing pec flies and after a couple of sets, you know, a girl walks by and you're like, and she's like, oh my God, and she runs away. I guess that's good, even though she ran away, but she ran away in a way that she obviously respected your pec size, which is the whole point of the gym.
