that's a great question. So here's the way I teach it. When you look at weightlifting, when you look at supplementation, when you look at nutrition, okay, it's the body's a lot like a computer. You're basically just feeding it information. And I grew up in computer programming. And so we've got a saying, garbage in, garbage out. If you feed the computer the wrong information and code, it's going to spit out the wrong information. So just because you can do a little bit more or eat a little bit more, eat a little bit less or take a bunch of supplements, that doesn't mean it's good, right? So like you'll get guys that they'll come into the gym and you'll just kill them in legs and they can't walk for a week. Well, you probably took that a little too far. And in most cases, most programs have too much volume and too much intensity together. It requires very little work to make the body move and change. And that's just something people don't understand. They think more work is better, but that's not exactly the case. You know why a good coach, any, anyone can just slaughter someone in the gym. A good coach can get results on the least amount of work possible. And with people being so stressed out and having so much to do, they don't need their training and their nutrition to be like another fucking job. And that's what it is. Send me your 42 pre-prep meals, uh, send it to my Instagram. I want to see it every week. And I've got, I know guys who that's what they want. They want their client to send them pictures on a Sunday of all of their meals for the week. And I think that's ridiculous. Just teach people how to eat correctly. Yeah. Yeah. Which is something that, uh, John Berardi and precision nutrition does really well. And I, I took my PN one and I'll be honest, it's, it's not a, for me, it's not a great nutrition course. If you want to learn science of like biochemistry and this type of nutritional biochemistry and how it works, but it's an excellent coaching course and how to get your clients to actually do it and not make it like a, like another job for them. Right? Because if you make it overly complicated, people aren't going to do it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Not bad. Very interesting. I mean, you mentioned before about cardio and resistance exercise. I'm a fan of doing both and guilty I'm a marathon runner. I do the odd marathon every year. And I've found that being cardiovascular fit actually helps me in the gym. Does that sound weird to you or does that sound like it makes sense to you?
