know the cause and try and eliminate it. So we'll teach them, you know, we spend a lot of time with spine hygiene. We teach them how to hip hinge or squat. We teach them how to lunge, how to get to the floor. We teach them how to roll without twisting their spine into pain, but using their ball and socket joints. We teach them how to do a baby's crawl.

It's so humbling to take a world record holding athlete. and humble them right back. As you know, I've had the current holder of the world's all-time record squat, Brian Carroll. And Brian and I have written a book together, so I can use his name. What's the squat record? 1,306 pounds, if you can believe that. Down to parallel. Down to parallel. No other human has done that.

But I want to come back to how humbling it was to have someone who already held world records in squatting in two different weight categories, and I had to show him how to get off the toilet. But that's another story. And we both laugh at this now. But that was what pain had done.

Pain had corrupted his movement patterns and he forgot how to squat, but he held the world record. That's how corruptive pain is to the neurological engram. And we can talk about inhibition and facilitation and all of the things. I mean, I'd love to have that conversation because I know who I'm sitting with.
