But would I have also increased my time horizon for muscle gain?
Cause that's not the only thing that is important.
Muscle and strength isn't the only thing that exists within a movement practice.
It's not the only thing that's important.
If it were the only thing that was important, Christopher Bumstead, who's probably the best modern bodybuilder, wouldn't be trying to do all these functional things to game his athleticism back.
In his own words, in one of his recent posts, he said, this specific coach is helping me fix my broken body.
One would not think that someone who looks like Chris Bumstead would refer to his body as being broken.
Of course, when we say broken, Chris is not disabled in any sense.
He can walk, et cetera.
But there are certain things within his functional limited movement.
And again, with everything I'm about to say about Chris Bumstead, I give him massive kudos for going out there and showing the things that he's weak at.
I love it when people...
bring you on the journey with them doing something.
Because he did, I think, a 40-yard dash.
His obvious tests of strength were great, but his tests of movement were not high, right?
And it's because, for years, this guy spent all of his time dedicating himself to being the best bodybuilder in the world.
I think he was maybe four or five-time Mr. Olympia.
That is 0.0001% work ethic and not just genetics and talent and skill, but also dedication, a focus on trying to get better.
He has all these other attributes too.
But now, even though he's so high level at all of this stuff when it comes to lifting, he chooses to do something and progress at something that is antithetical to the skill that he's built.
