    • Cons: Higher injury risk, feeds the ego, and it's hard to bring up lagging body parts. (25:50)
  • Lifting Light: Maximizes inefficiency, focuses on the target muscle, and it's all about the “feel.” (30:08)
    • Focus: Calm collected, and visualizes the target muscle. (35:08)
    • Pros: Brings up target body parts, and lowers injury risk. (41:25)
    • Cons: Doesn’t build as much total muscle, and strength is less applicable to the real-world. (44:52)
