That's an argument that's used a lot. However, as I said, I've done the work and I've done the follow-up, and I have an opinion for a reason. We start out by giving them the tools to not have pain. from a physical point of view, that's really important. From a psychological point of view, we've just empowered that person. They are now in control because they never had the tools.

A, they didn't understand what the real mechanism of pain was, so they had no strategy to down regulated, if I'm a neuroscientist, or to desensitize it. But now they know with some precision what the moves, the loads, the activities are that cause their pain. They know the counterpoints, what actually are beneficial for their pain, and they begin this life of having as little pain as possible.

Now I go back to the tipping point and all systems need stress. But in the beginning, we cannot cross the tipping point. And that's really the essence of your question. When do we start pushing them now to allow a little bit of pain? Some people start it way too early. We do not.

We know where that tipping point is, and we keep building the training capacity of being pain-free until we have a margin of safety. Now it's that margin of safety that we start to play with. Can we expand the volume of training and get them ready to go back to work or to go back to their sport? Or maybe they just want to play recreational golf. We've talked about that.

Eventually, we're going to go to the point where we're butting up against the tipping point now. Now we have another conversation. Remember what the goal is. How important is it for you to set a personal best and deadlift or to play 18 holes of golf five days a week? Would you settle for three? And now they've had a year of no pain. Their life has changed. They're mentally in a different place.

They have their answer and they converged on it themselves. I'm not 18. I'm 55 years of age. I've got two young grandkids. I'm looking forward to playing golf with them when I'm 75. So do you see how when we bring them through that way, accepting a certain amount of pain, that's more of a younger person's outlook. There's still some warriors left. A lot of us soften up as we get older.

But, you know, I just think of my own journey. I trained... heavy as a kid. And I remember my dad saying, well, why are you doing this? You're really shortening your athletic career. Not that I had one, but you know. And he was right. And now my training has totally changed. But as you know, I have no pain. I'm still fairly physical.
