So, he laid me on my back and he had me get into like an imaginary leg press position. You know those old school leg press machines where you're pressing up? Not the one where it's on a slope, but the the rack moves vertically. Super old school. Yep. So, I'm on my back. I'm in that position and he is now laying on top of me. So, he's got his pecs basically on my feet. Sure. And he's queuing me through really good intraabdominal pressure and isomemmetric contraction pushing. Yeah. And lo and behold, my back is getting better and better and we're doing sets, you know, 10 second, 20 second, 30 second. And at some point, I'm getting so strong like we need more resistance. So now we go and build a makeshift thing under the squat rack where I'm on, you know, I forget if I was on a Smith machine or on a squat rack. basically infinite resistance. Kind of like how you described it with the partial deadlift. I wouldn't have been able to push 10 lb away from me. That's how much pain I was in. And now I'm convinced I was pushing 600 lb of force against that immovable bar. Y and I've never felt better.
