 Next question is from Dance Girl. When is it appropriate to sit or stand for an exercise? For example, seated dumbbell curls versus standing dumbbell curls. What difference does sitting versus standing make? Do you guys have a major dog in this fight? I just, I prefer standing. That's just my preference. Yeah, you're a dork though. You're an athlete. You're an athlete. Fucking bodybuilder. I know. I sit a lot because of that. You know what I'm saying? Like, we're really splitting hairs in my opinion. I can make a case though for why. This is the division here between us. Well, I could definitely make a case for why standing is better. If you were to ask, if I had to defend one, one being better than the other, I think it's obvious. I think we would all agree standing is better. Yeah, just overall functional ability. Yeah, it's just you're going to burn more calories. You're standing, you have to incorporate, because even a seated dumbbell curl or a seated shoulder press, you completely take your lower half out of the equation. So you're having to stabilize with your trunk and core a little bit and then everything up. If you're standing, you have to do all that, plus your legs and feet have to stabilize. So there's going to be a higher caloric expenditure. There's going to be more stabilization involved. So for those reasons, I can make the case that it's technically better. But we're talking about splitting hairs here. Yeah. And honestly, at the bodybuilder in me, what I'm trying to build, I don't actually, I don't address, when I lift and when I'm building and sculpting a physique, I'm actually not worried. I actually don't want to burn a bunch of extra calories. Right. I'm there to just focus on my shoulders. I don't want to make the exercise. You want to maximize the squeeze of that particular muscle. Right. I don't want to make the exercise more challenging than what it already is. So if I'm doing bicep curls and shoulder press, I'm seated because I want to focus on that muscle. But for overall function and health and general population. Yeah. Arguing your direction in terms of like teaching too. I'll take a seated curl over standing just because there's less stimulus. There's less, you know, things that I have to cue in terms of, you know, having them to just focus in on like what the function is, you know, supposed to provide in terms of like where their elbow position needs to be, like how they need to hold their body in position. Like there's just a lot less factors, you know, to work on besides, you know, standing up because yes, you do have to be able to really control your body and stabilize everything, you know, with more intensity. Seated is good for if you want to do a really controlled movement and you really want to feel the target muscles, then seated can be cool. That's why bodybuilders like seated so much. Remember, bodybuilders are always looking to target, you know, a specific muscle and feel it more on that particular muscle. And there's some benefit to that. There's some benefit for muscle growth for that. But not because it's necessarily better at muscle growth, but sometimes connecting to a muscle a little bit better can make that happen. It negates body movement a lot. So if I'm seated and I'm doing a curl or overhead tricep extension or shoulder press, I'm less likely to use momentum in the rest of my body to move away. For functional purposes, though, standing is the best. No, yeah. If you're a person, to me, that's the divide here. Who should do what? If you're the functional guy or girl and that's what you're all about, you love mobility, you're all about the total body working together and in general health and fitness, I'm pushing you, standing everything. But if you're the guy who's just like, I'm trying, I really want to build my delts, I really want to build my bicep, I care about sculpting my physique, then fucking sit down, you know what I'm saying? And at the end of the day, both people can do both and be completely fine and still be functional and still build incredible physiques. It's that small of a deal, it's not worth really debating. Now, here's where it gets a little complicated, right? Because then I have people, these are the hyperfunctional trainer-trainers. These are the trainers that are like, everything needs to be super functional. Stand on a ball or both. Well, even before that, they'll say, OK, a bench press is not functional because you're lying down, you should do a standing chest press, a cable chest press where you're bracing yourself- Yeah, let's do a much more less effective exercise version of it. And now why is it less effective? It's less effective because if I'm doing a standing chest press with cables- What's his face? What's that guy that we didn't get annoyed by every once in a while? Functional patterns. So because I'm standing, I'm limited by how much weight I can use. I can't push or I can't row as much. If I'm doing like a cable row and I'm standing, I'm not going to be able to row as much as if I'm doing a seated cable row. So now I'm not able to exert as much force and build as much strength and muscle. So there are some benefits that kind of go both ways. Is it more functional to do a chest press standing versus a bench press on a bench? Not necessarily. If I get stronger on a bench press, that overall strength gain is going to overpower the fact that you're doing a chest press and you're standing. I'm going to build more muscle and more strength. So it's not as simple as one is necessarily always more functional. One is necessarily better for isolation or whatever. I would say this, for most people listening right now, mix them all up. Yeah. Mix them all up, see how they feel, enjoy. I many times will do a standing circus press or dumbbell press or standing push press with the barbells. And then lots of times I'll sit down on a 90-bench and do shoulder presses there. I'm very inconsistent with doing the same thing all the time. I think there's value to being able to push something over your head in a seated position, to push something over your head in a standing position. And I think it's really splitting hairs on trying to make the argument that one is better than the other. I just tended to go with the one that's harder. You always pick the hard one? Oh, yeah.
