Not optimal. Right. Obviously. Right. Obviously not. Right. And so. And again, we justify it through all these reasons. Oh, it's how it starts my day. It's part of my stress relief. It's, you know, insert whatever reason you want to justify doing more than you do or doing the less optimal routine than what you should. Or I'm always in pursuit of like, what's the most optimal. You know, it's. My whole thing is like, how can I do as little as possible to list the most change? And I'm just so fascinated with how. If you have put this, and I think this, it matters a lot that you have lifted for as long as you have and you have built the foundation that you have built. So the stimulus that you need is very little. And any bit over that is counterproductive. And as soon as you start, even in a calorie deficit, when you move more towards what's optimal for you, you're seeing these crazy positive benefits. It's wild, dude, because I look, I dropped like 13, 14 pounds today. I did. I was doing single, so just one pull up with a hundred pounds strapped on my waist. I haven't done 100 pounds around my waist in a long time. Pull ups. I was benching 315 band assisted, so. But you know, and I know that's lightweight for you, Justin, but for me, that's a lot. So 315. I'm doing box squats with 375. And I'm not even trying to go crazy with squats. I'm just being careful. Yeah. Because I just got over my hip. Feeling good. Yeah, for me, that's great weight. Yeah. And so it's, it's we. I haven't deadlifted yet. I'm going to start incorporating deadlifts again just because I enjoy doing them. I'm going to try not to get carried away. So I'm going to need you guys to check me, but we'll see what that looks like. You know, if I'm pulling five plates right now without really training them, I'm going to be blown away. And it's just basic full body routine. It's crazy, dude. Speaking of which, I got a study for you guys. Speaking of how little you need to build strength, there was a study done from Penn State. Trip off this, everybody. So here's what they did. They took a bunch of adults 65 and older and they trained them for 12 weeks. You want to know what they did? No. You guys want to know how much? They did one exercise. They did four minutes of daily strength training. Oh, four minutes. That's. Yeah. So we shouldn't. We need to write a program. Four minutes. Four minutes of strength training a day. Yeah. For older. 65 and older. Okay, so that's literally one set. You're done? Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Just one set. One set, one exercise. That's it. Not three sets, not nothing.
