Because I really enjoy them. If you're a wrestler at University of Iowa, you've been doing it for a good while, you're probably okay doing neck bridges.

Think of every pulling motion. Where does it start? The trapezius originates off the neck. Stack that flagpole and really get those muscles ready to pull. It requires a stiff, strong neck. Absolutely. So every strong puller has that.

Anyway, I'll finish out my strength routine with some more auxiliaries. People laugh at this. I call it sword play. The amount of athletic gain that we've achieved with sword play. I take an iron bar, like the old weeder dumbbell weight. It'll be an iron bar about that long, and I'll put maybe a two-pound weight on the end.

And then I grab it, and I do figure eights over here, over here, over here, around there. You wouldn't believe I have professional hockey players in the NHL who say, wow, those figure eight sword plays, my wrist shot, my slap shot, have tour tennis players. I've never had such power and finesse off the racket because of that sword play exercise.

May I give you a couple of comments? Please. That was fabulous. It's so much fun when I see someone getting out of their car and walking up to the clinic door. And I can see the muscle wasting on their calf. And they'll say, oh, I have to get out my EMG machine. nerve conduction velocity scores here. I said, are you kidding me?

You're telling me the doc needed to do EMG conduction velocity and all I had to do was look at your leg? We know exactly the nerve roots that are deficit because I know exactly what serves those muscles that have wasted. I mean... It's crazy how technology has made so many people oblivious to the signs that we all show. That was my first comment.
