All right. You're not letting me off the hook, which is fine. So I've worked with competitors who compete in strongman and they can carry and walk with a thousand pounds on their shoulders. It's called the super yoke. Another client of ours who held the World Wilkes score in the IPF, International Powerlifting Federation, where they do not lift out of a monolith.

They take the bar off a squat rack and they have to step back. And that is, if you don't have enough lateral strength and control in your torso, that's when you become hurt. Not during the squat, it's during the walkout. So it's a very different feat of strength. So you're very astute to say lifting from a monolith is a different athleticism and strength distribution.

than an IPF style where they lift off a rack and have to walk it out. So you're standing on one leg. So can you imagine a thousand pounds coming down your axial spine, down your midline, it hits your pelvis, and then it has to shear across the pelvis and go down the stance leg as you're stepping back with the right.

So it requires tremendous strength to hold the pelvic platform up on the swing leg side. And so that is a tremendous core strength component.

We time the clients. I see one in the morning and one in the afternoon and there are three hour appointments. So I know when they're coming. I watch them get out of the car if I can. And that's when the assessment starts. But just to go back to the dogs, my sister's a vet, her husband's a vet and her daughter's in vet training. So we have these conversations all the time.
