There's no option. So there's an idea there. In my own life, it's a habit. I walk after every meal. I walk before I go to bed and that's my time with my wife and my dog and it's our routine. And it is, even when we travel in the winter, we drive south, we break up the drive and we do our walks and it keeps us pain-free. It doesn't matter who you are.

If you sit all day, chances are you will cause pain. I can talk about damage, which is interesting. We've probably loaded more spines than any other laboratory in the world. I think that's a fair thing to say. If we put a cadaveric spine, that is what we call a virgin spine. In other words, it came from a young donor, it wasn't traumatized, so there's no preexisting cumulative damage to it.

If you put it in a sitting posture, you cannot create new injury. So if a person has never had back pain, and I can give you an example. You know the person that they're probably overweight, And all they do is sit. It's so unfair. They don't have any back pain. And then their colleague is much more fit. They go to the gym every day. They have back pain, and they think this is so unfair.

But what they didn't realize is they are not training wisely at the gym. They are probably going far too hard in a short period of time with too much intensity, and they're creating a little bit of microtrauma. So now they just made sitting painful. So do you see what I mean? You can't injure the spine sitting if you have no pre-existing injury.

But if you have pre-existing delamination of the collagen, an old disc bulge, sitting for a long time will then make it painful.

Okay. Those who know me know it could be any of those three options. At the highest level, Every exercise is a tool and it's a tool to reach a specific goal.

So in our world of limited capacity, when a person is fresh coming out of back pain or they're training to really achieve something physically, have they defined the goal and have they chosen the best tool to keep as much capacity as they can for training other things that really matter? The deadlift is an extraordinary exercise.

And as you know, I don't know of anyone who's been involved with more world-class deadlifters than myself through the back pain relationship. So, you know, on one hand I can say, well, I love the deadlift. And on another hand, I can say, I hate the deadlift. I can tell you, Andrew,
