  1. “Wasn't that we shouldn't train with barbells or we shouldn't train in a neutral spine, but with the focus of traditional lifting being in the sagittal plane, usually forward and backwards or within that one plane, we are always training the neutral spine and maintaining that neutral spine through everything we do. So when you're doing that all the time in the gym, and there's also a lack of breathing, which we'll probably get into later, but you train this system, when you want to potentially go and transfer it into something else, you might not have as much access to that spinal engine as you used to. Over time, that can potentially degrade if you actually, maybe you never really had that. And it gets worse by training in the gym. And the examples I gave in that video is examples from sports that you see this type of training a lot in. It's powerlifting, bodybuilding, Olympic lifting.”

  2. “In space. Yes, yes. But you see that natural figure eight rotation of the spine that's moving him through space. So in that book, The Spinal Engine and Surge's theory of locomotion is that the spine is the driver of movement and locomotion. The rotation of the spine helps swing the arms and swing the legs through space. And for efficient human movement, you want to maintain access to that spinal engine. And what I was getting at at that video.”

  3. “So Serge Grakowetsky is the guy who wrote the spinal engine, which is a book that I referenced in that video. It's a video that he showed of a man that's moving through space with no arms and no legs. And when most people think about typical human locomotion, it's thought that the arms and legs are the driver's locomotion. You swing your arms, you swing your legs forward, you move forward through space. Well, this pretty much torso is rotating through space without arms and legs and you can see the rotation.”

  4. “At that time, you know, I was probably deadlifting in this 700 type of realm, so working sets would be maybe five, six plates. So that's 495, 585 above for sets of triples, doubles, some singles here and there. It's a lot of weight, right? Not wait, I'm working with right now, but it's a lot of what you're working with when you're focused on powerlifting. You're focused on like moving as much weight as possible on a barbell. So yeah, it's melod.”

  5. “Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And I still like lifting contrary to popular belief and some of the things that I've put out. People think I don't think lifting is good for you when I don't like lifting. Lifting is good for you.”

  6. “So, the sport of powerlifting is concentrated above the three big lifts, the squat bench and deadlift, the holy grail of traditional lifts. In a meet, you have three attempts at a squat, three attempts at a bench, three attempts at a deadlift in that order. Ideally, you're aiming for a nine out of nine. There's geared powerlifting where you have suits, but that's not as popular nowadays. I did raw powerlifting. Mark Bell, who's the host of the Mark Bell's Power Project, he was a big geared lifter. And then he did some raw at the end of his career. For what I managed to get, I think I got eight out of nine at my last meet. a 622 squat, a 396 bench. I wasn't credit at 405 and I never got 405 and a 755 pound deadlift. So my total was $1,758. Not on record, but what my gym lifts for powerlifting still never got the 405 bench. But I managed to squat 645 a little bit after that meet. I believe I deadlift 775 after that meet.”
