come together and eventually the spines, what we call it kissing spines. And it takes me back to some of the old Russian techniques for bench press. They would bench press with a huge arch in their back.

And then other people would say, oh, well, I'm going to try and mimic that particular bench press technique because it allows you to get much more force out of latissimus dorsi, a stiffer back, and you get a different force vector and actually more effective force on the bar.

They didn't realize that when we work with a person who has a huge arch, they have big spaces between those spinous processes. And if you don't have those big spaces, you are going to crush the interspinous ligaments, which naturally are between those spaces. And you will now fire off a whole set of new problems.

So what is a mechanical advantage for one person is a mechanical disadvantage for another. Do you follow? So all of this matters. Going back to the... disc being a fabric of layer upon layer of collagen strands. Typically, the disc is about 80% type 1 collagen. That is the stiff strength collagen. about another 20% is elastic collagen, type two.

But there's types three through 10 that bind those collagen fibers together. That's where there's a much greater degree of genetic variability. So there are some people who can get away with doing mini sit-ups. They have a slender spine and they have the type of binding collagen that holds all those fibers together.

But if I wanted to work these fibers of my shirt apart, get them to delaminate, I would create repeated stress strain reversals. The resistance of that fabric depends on the stuff holding the fibers together. So there will be binding fibers there. That's where the genetic variance lies in many people. So even there, the person's resilience to repeatedly doing a bending drill

is determined by your parents to some degree, both in the size, the collagen type three through 10 makeups.

The answer is yes, but it's a very limited yes. So if I can set the stage and give some context here. Every system in the body requires stress for optimal health. Think of the cardiovascular system, the musculoskeletal system, the endocrine system, even the psychological system. It needs stress to create adaptation for robustness. but you cannot cross what's known as the tipping point.
