It should be a focus. I would add, if I saw somebody doing any one of these lifts, with good weight and control, I would consider that person just strong. Like just overall strong. Like you know that that person has incredible, just overall impressive strength. And again, Adam, you picked the common ones. Like you see someone deadlifting and squatting a lot.

maybe over pressing a lot or benching a lot. Like, like, you know, that person's strong more than if they were using a machine to do something. Right. Right. Uh, these lifts that we put down here, like if you get good at these, you're just a strong human being and it means a lot for your entire body. In fact, what you'll see is carry over, uh, into other lifts by getting good at these lifts.
