Stronger is better, provided that it's not wrong strong.
35:34
Okay.
35:35
So the conventional training, just picking up heavy shit, I mean, when I was in high school, you just, you know, we squatted, we dead lifted, we bench pressed, and then it was your own natural athleticism that funneled whatever I did to make myself bigger, stronger, faster that wasn't bridged through instruction, and the instruction was actually incorrect.
36:01
Keep your core braced, don't let your head move, 90/90, cheek to cheek.
36:05
That is fundamentally not athletic, it's pathetic, but the good athletes did it correctly anyway because the athletic intelligence and the external objective, they weren't thinking like, "Oh, I need to put my head here.
36:20
No, I gotta go catch the fucking guy, and I'm gonna just go catch the guy." The body did correct things, right? So we were bailed out from the ignorance, and what happened was the- If I bench press and I squat and I deadlift and I do pull-downs and I just, you know, sagittalitus is my training, if I'm athletic, I'm still throwing, right? I'm still running.

Just a ding

So David, let's start with what are Vortex's surveys and data showing us? How many Middle Eastern barrels are actually reaching the market today?
2:13
Yeah, I think it's well framed, the question, Middle Eastern barrels.
2:18
There is a very strong focus on the Strait of Hormuz in the market, but evidently there are other exit routes as well.
2:25
The one in focus right now is the Red Sea, evidently.
2:30
Overall, it's relatively simple.
2:33
We are still missing 10 million barrels per day, a bit more than 6 million barrels per day of crude and less than 4 million barrels per day of products relative to the situation to the six months before the war.
2:46
And that is actually a relatively stable pattern.

With refining systems remaining under pressure, do you think the next leg higher is more likely to come from products still? Or do you think it's going to be in the crude complex next?
12:09
David, two-parter, what is your data showing right now? And is it possible that some ships are sliding through and simply never being counted?
12:21
Yeah, so thank you.
12:23
Good question.
12:24
So first question.
12:26
Currently, we are seeing it depends a lot which time period you look at.
12:30
On the average of the last month, we see six to seven million barrels per day of crude oil going through.
12:35
There are peaks in our data on a seven day moving average of up to close to 10 million barrels per day.
15:20
David, what else are you seeing in like the Black Sea, around Russia and Ukraine? What are general oil and ship flows globally telling you and your team right now?
7:00
So there's also longer term implications if they continue building their own fleets.
7:06
If I move on to your U.S. question.
7:08
So, as I said, we have seen a dramatic decline in U.S. exports already.
7:12
I think there are three main factors behind that.
7:15
The one is that the SBR drawing dynamics have come to a temporary end.
7:19
There is not yet a sign that they will resume, but it's definitely possible.
7:24
That is ultimately, I guess, a question on the price level.
11:00
Do you see China being forced to come back into the market and increase intake, or do you think they're sitting relatively comfortable with their SPR at the moment?
12:33
So go right ahead, David.
12:35
I interrupted.
12:36
Oh, no problem.
12:38
So anyway, that is the number one priority is the vertical integrity, the integrity of vertical force transmitting through the body so you can deliver it, receive it, express it.
12:49
Now, when it comes time to the strategies for the feet.
12:53
Right.
12:54
What we want when we are sprinting is we want to kick the foot up.

20:55
It's like the one we all have as important as human beings.
0:26
Coiling core, head over foot, spinal engine, like tell us about that.
0:32
Yeah.
0:32
So basically, if our objective is to enhance the functional movement of human beings, if we're in the fitness industry, right? They're coming oftentimes to look better.
0:44
That's a very high motivator.
0:46
But more and more people are coming to the trainer to feel better and to perform better.
0:52
So that puts the pressure on the trainer to now build on an integral, God's honest foundation that will support their efforts as they go through their athletic journey.
1:04
Now, if we get that wrong, like gait, locomotion, and we get the biomechanics wrong, and we're instructing people to do it in a dysfunctional manner, and then we're creating adjunctive exercises that only upset the fight-flight responsibility because your targeted objective is to train freeze, right? To be helpless in the moment and better at being helpless, stronger at being helpless, stronger and better and more familiar with being uprooted.

You should be able to move well and feel good, and the rope does that.
