So, let us start this course on animal physiology. So, this is a 40 lecture module and we have divided the course into 15 different components. So, just to start the course, let us talk about the different sections what we will be covering. We will start with introduction to physiology. Cell and general physiology will be having two lectures followed by membrane physiology of nerve and muscle which will constitute of three lectures followed by talking about the heart, the pumping machine of our body another three lectures. Then we will be talking about the blood circulation all over the body which will cover another three lectures. Then we will be talking about the fluid purification machinery of the body which constitute of the kidney and some supporting organs which will cover another three lectures followed by the structure of the blood cells and the immunity and the blood clotting which will cover another three lectures and then we will move on to respiration which will cover another three lectures. Then we will talk about some specialized situation like aviation the problem people faces while they are traveling at high altitude space deep sea diving physiology that will cover two lectures. From there we will move on to the nervous system there are two aspect of the nervous system will be talking about the general nervous system and the sensory physiology which will constitute two lectures and then we will be talking about the special senses which includes your eyes, ear, nose, tongue and all these things that will constitute another three sets of lectures and from there we will move on to the motor systems of nerve physiology and integrative neuro physiology which will constitute three lectures. From there we will move on to gastrointestinal physiology which will constitute your whole digestive mechanism and the control system which will constitute another three lectures from there will move on to metabolism and temperature regulation which will constitute two lectures and then we will move on to endocrinology and reproduction which will constitute three lectures. Then we will conclude with a sports physiology and sports medicine which will constitute two lectures and in some total we will have we will be having forty lectures in this animal physiology module and what I expect from this is once we are done with the course you should be aware about your own body and the surrounding and how we react. Let us take a simple example what do I expect we all go to the doctors and at times doctors gives us a prescription they gives us certain medicines or sometime we go to go for check up of our heart and they ask us to do an EKG or ECG electrocardiogram and we see some traces and most of us are kind of at the mercy of the doctor what is the doctor says we believe it we really never analyze what it meant they recommend us our medicine we take it. So, our objective will be that to understand about your body about how things are happening how your whole physiology call machinery is functioning this is what I expect after going through all these lectures that you should be able to analyze or sometime we hear in a sports medicine people have taken certain drugs which are sports performance enhancing drugs what really they do most of us do not have an answer. So, these are some of the issues pertinent issues in the modern day to day life our lifestyles are changing we need to understand our own body sometime we say we should do a yoga what does that mean how the yoga really helps how it helps in physiology all these different varied things we are going to deal in this course. So, before I get into the real course. So, we will have the first two lectures we will be talking about. So, this is the title of the course will have animal physiology it is the story of our ourselves how we function. So, the first topic what I will be dealing here which will be your topic one will be first two set of lectures will be introduction to physiology which includes cell and general physiology. This is the first topic in which will be discussing two lectures I will be dealing on this. So, let us talk what really physiology is all about our body whenever we look at our body. So, this is the head these are the two arms this is our face we have the eyes we look through our eyes and the rest of the body. So, this whole body acts like a coordinated machine. So, we think something and then we do something sometimes your heart is beating we really do not think the heart is beating and on its own the story of our own cells the way the body functions way everything functions falls under the purview of physiology it is a machine and how this machine is functioning. Now, the first question arises what are the components of this machine. So, let us ask the first question out here. So, regarding this machine our body what it is made up of that is the first question the first question is may put it body is made up of if we go down. If we burn the whole body it will lead to some of the elements which mostly our body is made up of carbon nitrogen oxygen iron some other element like you know manganese molybdenum and few other and of course, hydrogen our body is made up of elements. So, are the elements hanging out like that it is not like really like that. So, the smallest functional unit of our body is called a cell what is a cell? Cell is an enclosed structure something like this which has a membrane and it has a nucleus which contains a molecule called DNA and outside this cell there are several organelles this is called the nucleus these are the DNA slash RNA the oxyribose nucleic acid ribonucleic acid cell membrane mitochondria you have something called endoplasmic reticulum. In short we put it as E R then you have something called S R sarcoplasmic reticulum likewise, but what this cells are made up of and how this self assembly has happened. So, if we look at nature probably in a distant past when the earth was formed the first probable reaction which took place is the different elements what we discuss about carbon nitrogen oxygen hydrogen iron and likewise these elements somewhere or other have self assembled they have self assembled to form something called molecules. Molecules like water H 2 S or of course, the sulfur oxygen CO 2 likewise this was the first self assembly of molecules which lead to the formation of very simple molecules like water hydrogen sulphide oxygen carbon dioxide nitrogen likewise. Now, even a bigger question come before this how these elements have originated there are several theories here how the elements have originated. One of the theories is there is something called a big bang theory the theory which explains or tries to explain the origin of the universe itself the big bang theory it is believed lead to the formation of stars and these stars lead to the formation of different elements which we talk about. So, we will not deal with this part, but this is how probably most of the elements have formed once these elements have formed these elements. So, if you look at it assuming somewhere or other the elements have formed these elements lead to the formation of small compounds that we just now discuss compounds like CO 2 water H 2 O nitrogen oxygen hydrogen sulphide likewise if we S 2 iron disulfide likewise these compounds lead to a self assembly process and probably form the first membrane like a structure what we meant by membrane is something like this say for example, there is one compound here say we represented by compound one compound another compound like this compound 2 likewise compound 3 C 3 I max C 4 C 5 C 6 C 7. So, they come close to each other and form something like a structure like this encloses structure where there are lot of these components C 1 C 2 C 3 C 4 likewise encloses structure and this encloses structure is the beginning of the first membrane structure compound 1 C 2 C 3 C 4 C 5 C 6 C 7 C 8 C 9 C 10 C 11 likewise and so forth. So, this was probably the evolution of membrane it is a still not clear how this first membrane has formed there are theories which says the first membrane may have been formed of the first may have been formed of one of the very primitive compound called iron disulfide. There are lot of contradictory theories on that they say first membrane was like iron disulfide molecules forming a membrane and which falls under iron sulphur theory of evolution, but what is over may have happened these this must have happened long long time back in the evolution. So, once the membrane is formed the next thing was that it has to develop certain form of transport mechanism across it something like this these arrows are showing it has should have the ability to exchange fluids or any kind of nutrient from inside to outside. So, this is inside the membrane and this is outside the membrane. So, exchange of gases fluids minerals this is how probably the first cell may have formed the next step in this evolution process was individual cells. If these circles are individual cells they came close to each other and it started forming a self assembled structure which we called. So, these are individual cells cell 1, cell 2, cell 3 likewise C 4, C 5, C 6, C 7, C 8, C 9, C 10 they form something self assembly of cells forming something called a tissue. This step in it comes self assembly of tissues self assembly of different tissues forming something called an organ and self assembly if I just represent self assembly as S a of organ making something called a system. So, as to summarize this looks like this now we started with the big bank let us summarize it what I just now talk to you big bank origin of elements formation of compounds self assembly of compounds forming the membrane forming the rather the first membrane then this membrane forming something called a cell the first cell in the evolutionary soup these cells self assembled to form tissue. Tissue self assemble to form organ, organ self assemble to form system and system self assembly to form a full organism which includes all different life forms like from human and animals and at the cellular level we have single unicellular organism they have single cell which includes bacteria some algae especially diatom these are single cell organisms and this also includes here the plants too they are also multicellular organism. So, in other words now you can classify it as plants, animals, microbes and within them you will have unicellular means they are having single cell multicellular animals are mostly multicellular plants could be unicellular having a single cell or multicellular this is how the life forms on earth survive and yet there are something within the microbes something like virus which are single particle I would not call cell purposefully maybe at some point I will discuss why I am not calling them as cell. So, here what we will be discussing in this course is this part this is the regime which is part of this course animals will be talking about multicellular animals and the machinery which governs it. So, in other words the governing dynamics of multicellular organisms. So, this is the part and parcel of this course where we will be starting to understand. So, with this brief background of explaining you how the cells may have formed. So, we have not gone in depth with any of the structures, but just give you an idea how that looks like if I start from here. So, what is our body made up of again let us summarize it made up of carbon nitrogen, oxygen, iron and few other compounds hydrogen and we talked about how the cell basic structure of the cell looks like. Then we talked about the different compounds different elements which are formed like carbon nitrogen, oxygen, iron, sulphur and the sulphur assemble to form the different molecules like water, hydrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide and nitrogen. Then the big bang theory which talks about the formation of the stars and which eventually leads to the formation of elements. Then we talked about how the elements joins together from the compounds and then the self assembly and formation of the membrane the first membrane. This is the beginning of life form and from there we talked about how the different compounds come close come together and form the first membrane likewise C 1, C 2, C 3 these are the different compounds coming close to each other. Then we talked about one of the most probable theories may be iron disulfide membrane or this is also called iron pyrite. One of the very very primitive molecule which has formed which is believed to have formed the first membrane. From there we talked about this membrane should of that it should be a dynamic membrane dynamic semi permeable membrane. In other word what do I mean by semi permeable it means that not everything can go in and out of it. There are selective entry and exit in other word selective exit and entry of molecules. From there we move on to how the different cells self assemble and form something called the tissue. From there we talked about from the tissues we move on to self assembly of different tissues forming the organs and self assembly of the organ forming the system. So, when we summarize the whole thing cells and their self assembly of tissue and then we classify them into as unicellular and multicellular organisms. So, this is where we did the classification could have plant system, plant kingdom, then you have the animal kingdom, you have the microbial systems, you have the virus and here in this course we will be talking mostly or everything about the animal systems. With this brief idea or the brief introduction let us move on to our own cells which are all the different systems what we are going to study. So, what I will do now I will draw a picture of human being and in this course mostly we will be talking about the human systems. We will take human system as the reference and with respect to human system we will be talking about any other say ruminant system like cows or buffaloes or anything or the tiger or anything. At times we will do some degree of comparison that where we differ from the cows in terms of the systems what we have, but our reference will be always human system. And for your knowledge those who are interested from some extra studies these are some of the books I will recommend you. One of the very good books are text book of medical physiology by A. C. Guyton. This is and of course now it has two authors Johnny Hall and the W. B. Saunders company. There is another book which is very nice for those who love to have very nice pictures. There is the fundamentals of anatomy and physiology by F. H. Martini. This is a Prentice Hall publications and along the course as we will move through the course I will recommend you some of the additional material which will help you to understand the content that how where all additional information you can obtain. Now after talking about this we will be talking about I will give you a general idea about our body structure and anatomy which will help you to understand how we will be taking the course through. So what I will do now I will just draw a simple human being first just for your understanding. We will keep it simple. So our body if you look at it is governed by we think whenever we think we think from the this is what we believe is the brain and this brain is controlling our rest of the body.  See these arrows are showing the information being sent to brain and the brain guides and ask us and these signals are brought back from different areas of the brain based on which we coordinate and we do all the actions in our body some of these functions are dependent on our thought process some of these functions are not dependent on our thought process they are exclusively governed by a autonomic unit or autonomous unit we really do not think say for example, if you look at me I can I decide that am I am I going to move my hand this is in my control fine, but I do not decide if you look at here my heart is beating I do not decide how my heart is beating that is completely under a autonomic control it is autonomous I cannot control I cannot say oh you know what your heart you beat slow or your heart beat you fast I cannot control it, but I can control this I can control this motion I can control I can do like this I can do like this all these things I can handle but I cannot control this yet both of these are controlled by your nervous system. So, part of the nervous system controls which are within your thought process the other one is you do not have to think it is already tuned it is already programmed it will happen like this. So, this is the one of the most fundamental system the next system what we will be talking about in this in our body if you look at it is all those which are effector systems which includes your. So, let me move on to the next day again let me draw the human picture that will help you to understand just I miss something very people is when I drew the brain. So, the nervous system what will be discussing will be discussing at two level will be talking about the nervous system mostly consist of the brain plus the spinal cord brain and the spinal cord constitute your C N S or central nervous system and all the informations which are carried out from the other part of the body to the brain and wherever those falls under peripheral nervous system that is falls under P N S peripheral nervous system on top of that will be discussing about sympathetic and I will come to that we do not have to worry because once we will be picking up this topic sympathetic and parasympathetic system and we will be talking about the autonomic nervous system this is all what will be covering in the nervous system and the different modes to control different things next thing what will be talking about let me again draw the picture that will help you to understand what will be talking about is all these different organs which are taking care of stuff that falls under your muscular system there will be talking about nerve nerve muscle contacts where the nerves are controlling your muscles they are regulating through different junctions this is another system will be talking about then will be talking about something called another level system called endocrine system so body consist of three level of control mechanism one is the nervous control which is the highest controls unit this control something called endocrine system which control your secretion of hormones and the third level and in this will be talking about different hormones which are responsible for regulating your growth puberty and several other reproductive system and all those things and there is a third level of control if this is control system one if I consider endocrine system as control system two there is a third level control which is called immune system which will be talking in the part of immunity this is the third level of control these are the different level of controls which will be dealing at different part of the course then will be talking about if you look at we take the food you eat the food and the food goes through the digestive tract likewise and at different level all kind of food getting digested and everything and then of course part of the energy is being derived that falls under will be discussing about digestive system or this is also falls under gastrointestinal system these are also under the control of the different nerves which are controlling them another nervous control as well as these are the control system nervous control and endocrine control. So, we will be talking about the digestive system. So, we started with the brain at the head which is controlling along with the spinal cord your central nervous system then we talk about all our muscles of our body which are control which are continuously under the control of the nervous system and you move on to the digestive system then we will talk about some of the special senses second we will talk about the special senses your special senses include your eyes by which you see which is part of the nervous system your ears by which you listen to the sound. So, eyes responding to light these are very important because that is what help you to survive sound then you have your tongue which is taking care of your taste then you have your nose which is taking care of your smell these are and then you have some of the skin senses and all those things we will be talking in the special senses section then we will here we will talk about the this whole body is of different parts you look at it. So, if this is a human being. So, this body continuously needs to be communicate from one point to another in other word there should be a continuous communication from here to here here to here likewise here to here the molecules have to travel all along the body and come back to the body and this is taken care by a fluid called blood we will be talking about the blood blood is the one which ensures that all along the body everything flows and all the information are being reached all over the body and nutrition is being sent. So, this falls under circulatory system, but then you need a regulatory system which will govern the blood is being sent all over the body that is taken care by if you look at me out here sets your heart which pumps the blood all over your body. So, that is this is where lies your vital organ the heart. So, in this section we will be talking about the control mechanism which ensures that the blood travel all over your body you take a drug the drug has to flow all over your body otherwise it does not make sense. So, we will be talking about the heart here then who is controlling the heart again we will come back to the nervous system part of the nervous system which is controlling your heart and part of the system by which nerve is autonomous it controls itself all by itself. And then in terms of the blood we will have to talk about that the structure of the blood cells structure of the let us move on to the next slide. So, that will help you we will talk about the blood cells in that what will be dealing with how they carry necessary nutrients. So, let me tell you here we are living in an oxygen environment. So, all the part of the body needs oxygen. So, in order to ensure the all the parts of the body needs oxygen we have to ensure that there should be some cell which can carry oxygen to all your body. And the stuff which carries oxygen in your body is falls under something called RBC.  So, this RBC stands for red blood cell. So, remember we discussed about cell in the beginning they are your oxygen carrier as well as every part of the body is involved in generating some suppose something is working. So, it generates some waste that waste has to be thrown out of the body. So, you need something it is just like in your colony we dumped trash we dumped some kind of garbage. So, there should be a truck which comes and takes the garbage out of the body out of that colony the same way within different parts of the body like here wherever you know in my body. So, there are lot of trash which is our garbage in the form of carbon dioxide and other molecules which are being generated. So, you need something which carries it back and throws it out of the body. So, that is taken care by these RBC's they ensure that the oxygen is sent to all parts of the body to all parts of body and brings back CO 2 carbon dioxide it has to be thrown out of the body. So, this is what RBC does yet there is another set of molecules within blood which ensures which are called WBC these are called white blood cells.  These white blood cells ensures they are involved in immunity they helps you to fight against any kind of disease those are called immune cells of the body. Yet there is another kind of cells whenever you get a cut you see after sometime the blood stops flowing out of there it heals that is taken care by another set of cells within the blood those are called let us they are involved in a process called blood clotting. So, all these different controls which takes place when the clotting mechanism will be functioning when the body has to activate its white blood cells when the immunity has to be triggered on these all falls under umbrella of blood and its functions. So, if you look at blood it is involved in carrying oxygen to different tissues removing the waste from different tissues there are white blood cells which gets activated when the body is fighting against any kind of pathogen yet there is another kind of blood cells which are called platelets they are involved in ensuring that whenever there is a cut in the blood vessel or anywhere and blood is losing. So, it is just like there is a pipe it is something like this if you just imagine if this is a water carrying pipe this is a pipe which is carrying water. So, think of it this is a pipe and think this is the water is moving. So, what is moving like this.  So, let me draw it and say for example, there is a small hole out here. So, what will happen what will start coming out.    So, this is what the platelet does. Now, once we do with the heart and its control mechanism then we move on to the blood and everything. Yet there are many other ways in the body which needs to be taken care of not only carbon dioxide there are several minerals urea uric acid and several other things which has to be taken care of and water has to be conserved inside the body because there is continuously water coming out of the body. So, water conservation is essential we cannot afford to lose a lot of water otherwise will suffer from dehydration water conservation is water conservation and getting rid of urea uric acid is taken care by organ called kidney which ensures your urine formation. Water conservation this works in tandem with this kidney works tandem with endocrine system which will be talking about something called a renin angiotensin system within the kidney.  This kidney smallest functional unit of kidney is called nephron which is a smallest unit these are a specific structures which do filtration and several of these structures thousands and thousands of these structures ensure this leads to urine formation. Once we do with the urine our next thing comes how we ensure when we take oxygen and all those things oxygen and throwing out carbon dioxide of course, the blood is carrying them but how we throw it how we take. So, that is taken care by our lungs which is involved in exchange of gases or in other word gaseous exchange within our body what this does something like your lungs are like this. So, this is your nose from here it comes and side view or if you have to have a front view it is something like this. There are two lungs out there and this is called trachea through which the air is being pumped into our your lungs through the nose this is your nose this is the side view of the lungs. You have two lungs they ensure once again 33 redraw it for you guys give you an idea about so this ensures that we throw away the carbon dioxide and we take fresh oxygen all the time and from here this oxygen is being sent this oxygen is sent to the heart through the blood and this heart then ensures that this is sent to the rest of the body. So, if I had to summarize the three different systems from where we are kind of getting rid of the things is that RBCs ensures oxygen and CO2 transport lungs ensures oxygen intake and throwing away CO2. Kidney which is excretory system ensures urea uric acid and urine formation and apart from it there are few other systems which ensures that we get rid of the necessary unnecessary things from the body and clean up our systems and take the necessary good stuff into our system from there we will move on to see the digestive system. So, we all know we take food now food has several component and we will talk about that very soon in the next lecture. So, we have to ensure that we absorb all the important component from the food and that is taken care by the digestive system absorption of important food component. We will talk about the component very soon do not worry. So, that falls under the digestive system. So, this includes your stomach intestine and we will talk about the structure and you have the liver then you have small intestine and large intestine and few other organs which ensures that our major thing out here is absorbing the food for energy which is needed for functioning of our body. So, all these different systems what we talked about are the ones which ensures that the whole machine this whole machine what we what I drew in the beginning functions smoothly and the study of physiology is all about that there is something which I have not touched is this among the different systems is called reproduction because we have to ensure that from one generation to next generation we reproduce we grow otherwise we will become extinct. So, that is the part which will be dealing with reproduction and endocrine system endocrine regulation from there we will talk about two different situation which falls under the term called extreme physiology. In other word all these studies what we will be doing we will be doing in a normal condition, but say for example, we are at a high altitude very high altitude which is like something like a very low oxygen and very low pressure how our body is going to react to this we will study this in high altitude physiology because mind it large number of our soldiers are stationed in places like Ladakh, Leh, Arunachal and all these places where we really need to understand the physiology because the body behaves in a very different way. Then we will be talking about deep sea physiology where the pressure is very high or how our body reacts to this extreme situation and we will be talking about sports physiology specially these are the situation where you have to exchange very fast exchange of gases is essential why some people are good runners some are not. So, we will be talking all these things in that and on top of this we will be talking a little bit about space physiology. So, that we will pretty much cover the whole spectrum of different systems what we will be covering in this and we believe by the end of it people will have a fairly good idea whenever you see say for example, let us take up before we conclude this first lecture.  So, these are the things what I expect once the course is over you should be able to ask and on top of this another thing which will be touching upon the course about say for example, doctor says you know your parents need a pacemaker what is a pacemaker really where it fits in our things we will be talking about this in the circulatory in the cardiac system. So, these are the things which I expect once the course is over you should have a basic understanding about yourself and you should be able to answer these simple things or you should be able to understand about your own body. So, with this first lecture I am closing the first lecture and if I had to really go back again. So, this is where we started what our body is made up of and we move on to it is made up of different kind of you know sorry it we talked about the basic structure of the cell anyway we will come back to this then we talked about the big bang theory and the formation of elements and then we talked about that formation of different compounds and self assembly of the compounds second and we talked about the different compounds which are formed the compound and the self assembly and the formation of the first membrane and evolution of the membrane then we talked about one of the iron sulfur membranes out there then we talked about the self assembly of the cells and the tissues then we talked about the formation of the tissues to the organs to different systems then we talked about the how the tissue organ systems are varying in plants animals and the microbes and the virus then we talked about the nervous system which will be going in depth from there we talked about the three control units of the body nervous system endocrine system immune system and then we talked about how the nervous system is controlling the heart we will be discussing about this and the blood and the circulatory system then we talked about the different roles of the red blood cells in ensuring that it is taking the oxygen to all the tissues and ensuring carbon dioxide out of the body and we talked about the white blood cells how they play a role in immunity and we talked about the platelet how they help in repairing the blood vessels which are damaged the clotting mechanism from there we talked about the kidneys where the urine formation takes place to ensure that your body remains clean then we talked about how the kidney works in tandem with the endocrine system and we talked about the basic structure the nephrons which are involved in the kidney talked about the lungs which will be discussing how the oxygen and carbon dioxide is being exchanged in the body and we talked about the gastrointestinal system where you have stomach, intestine, liver and all other organs which ensure how much energy we derived from it absorbing all the energy molecules then we talked about the special physiology which includes deep sea physiology, sports physiology and space and high altitude physiology and all these things and then what I expect that you should be able to understand what is the ECG trace what is the liver profile what is the blood profile and all these things thank you. So, we will start with the next lecture after this.


First question is from Moe Strengthgains. Is there any instance where partial reps are better than a full range of motion? Oh, good old partial reps versus full range of motion. Are they worth anything? Argument, I know. To be continued. You know, I brought this up before, but in the 90s, there was a book, early 90s, that came out. I think it was called, I don't remember the name of it. I'm trying to remember, but Paul DeMeo was on the cover. He's a bodybuilder who passed away. And in this particular book, the author promoted heavy partials over full range of motion. He said, if you do partial with lots and lots of weight, the load, it stimulates more muscle in the full range of motion. Anyway, it turned out to be wrong. Nobody, nobody builds more muscle that way. So generally speaking, in study support, this full range of motion is superior. Now are there cases where partial range of motion is better? Absolutely. If you're an athlete and there's a specific range of motion that you need to train. Oh yeah, that'd be the only example I was going to bring up. Yeah. So like if you're a basketball player, full range of motion squats aren't going to benefit you as much as partial range of motion squats because when you're jumping, you're not going all the way down and jumping up.  Yes. You're going to do that in terms of like going all the way down into a squat, you're never going to really see that. Yes. Now the other way is if there's a part of your range of motion that is just disproportionately not stable or you just need to improve it better. So like, let's say for example, when you do a squat, when you get down to the bottom, you just lose a lot of stability and strength and it's disproportionate how much you're supposed to lose when you do the bottom, when you're at the bottom. Well, then it might be good to do kind of bottom position squats, where you squat down to the very bottom and you come up a little bit. Yeah. Right. Or if you have issues with lockout, like power lifters will do sometimes these lockout bench presses to help with lockout. But besides these specific ways of applying partials, besides that full range of motion generally will give you, of course, it's all within the context of good form, good technique, good stability. Full range of motion with bad stability is just a recipe for injury. So as long as everything's good, generally speaking, you're just going to get better overall results. Yeah, it's rarely ever as good. It's definitely, I don't see it better, unless it's very specific to that.  For example, if I do, if I'm training, let's say, like 21s are an example of this, right? So bicep curl, 21s, everyone's probably done these before, where you come down halfway up seven times, then you do start at the bottom, halfway up seven times and then you do seven full range of motion. So I find that it's less detrimental if you also include full range of motion with that training session, right? So if you did an exercise where you're doing deep squats for two or three sets and then you have one set where you go like these short pumping sets, I don't think that's going to hurt your overall range of motion. And if I'm just trying to maybe, let's say, chase the pump because it's a hypertrophy phase of training, I see some value in that. Do I think it's better than full range? No, I don't think it's better, but I think it's less detrimental as long as you are including the full range. I think that's a good point because you want to fight the bad patterns that may occur if you get really into the partial rep type of mentality, which in bodybuilding, obviously, you could feel a lot of the pump from that and get the blood flow from that. So you feel like your muscles are really filling up. But then again, now we're slowly degrading our range of motion capabilities. And two, you're not going to be able to generate force in certain areas of these movements that you really need to. So to be able to include the full range with the partials is really essential. Well, you bring up a great point too with bodybuilding. Like, I mean, you guys probably experienced this more so in having mind pump than you ever did before when you guys hired these models to shoot for our programs, right?  And of course, we hired bodies that look aesthetically pleasing for camera and stuff and not thinking that, oh, these guys that have been training for 20 years of their life will have problems doing like an overhead press or a very basic movement, but they did. I remember Justin coming. I remember Justin texting me like, bro, what did you do to me here? I can't get these guys to do this exercise. It's like, it looks terrible. I don't know what to do. Am I going to scratch it or am I going to sub it for somebody else doing it? Well, you would never guess that because you look at their body and their body and it's amazing. They've got an impressive body, but they can't produce that movement. And it's because they've trained, you know, this and we're specifically talking about the two exercises coming to mind that I remember Justin texting me about was overhead press, overhead press, and then the tricep extensions behind the head. So being able to keep the dumbbell behind your... And fully extend. Yeah. Well, and also be able to pull... It requires a lot of shoulder mobility. Yeah. Yeah.  So, or you have to modify and arch your back like crazy in order to do that. And so a lot of these bodybuilders that look great, but because they do so many of that short and range of motion, they lack mobility. And again, generally speaking, full range of motion builds more muscle anyway in average people. Sometimes we look at bodybuilders and we use them as an example, but the problem is you're dealing with super genetically gifted, often anabolically enhanced athletes whose bodies respond way more to resistance training than the average person. So it's hard to say, oh, that's what's good because that's what works on this 0.1% genetics type of a person. But yeah, full range of motion. There's also the sliding filament theory. I'm not going to get super detailed in it, mostly because I can't explain it very well, but essentially muscle fibers slide across each other. And in full range of motion means you're getting more of this motion. And each time it slides across and it contracts, these little attachments will form and break. That's what causes a little bit of that muscle damage and that soreness. The fuller the range of motion, the more you're going to get this action. The shorter the range of motion, the less you're going to get of it. So that's why full range of motion. It's one of the theories to why full range of motion in studies tends to build more muscle than short range of motion, even if there's lighter weight with the full range of motion.


Hi, so welcome to day two. We see the notes here as usual. So should we talk a little bit about yesterday? How many people were here yesterday or not? How about we add a poll? So yeah, you see right here. If you were here, then add an oh yes or on the no part or partly, and let's see. Are there any other cool questions we can ask for starting off? Yes, today's topic is math bloodlap. That's the big one. And data formats. Good morning. Are we already streaming? Yes, we are live. Hello. All right, then good morning, everybody. Yes. Okay, so there I added a poll about how big of data used with Python, which relates to several things today. Yeah, so any other questions and follow-ups from yesterday? Let's see. Someone asked anything special to know from Tuesday. So if you ask me, the Tuesday session was a pretty, like it really was covering basic kind of things. So the first lessons were about Jupyter and NumPy, which was sort of setting everyone at the same starting level. So if they're new to you, it's worth reviewing them, but if you use them a little bit, it's probably okay. And also it's okay. Like it's always worth learning more about NumPy and Pandas, but you're probably okay for the rest of the lesson. The last lesson from yesterday was Pandas. And we continue with Pandas in a few minutes now. So for that, we really had this high level overview. So because we had to talk both quickly and also rather it was a bad combination of speaking quickly and giving a high and low level overview at the same time. But that's because there is so much to talk about there. So all we hope to give was a starting point and then motivating you to read more yourself. And if Pandas seems like the kind of thing you need, I'd really recommend reading these tutorials like 10 minutes to Pandas and so on. So today we'll basically start from scratch and do something else. So it's not that necessary to look through yesterday if you want to see today's thing. Because it is the first thing. So you have four minutes. It's fine. Did anyone notice the videos are published? So I've slightly refined the video making system. So it's a little bit quicker for us now, which is good. There's a good question here in part of the course. So this is on the course page or the lesson page. Python is strongly and dynamically typed. Strongly means roughly it's not possible to circumvent the type system. Is there any language that behaves the opposite? Does anyone have any answers to that? Well, there's plenty of ways of circumventing the type system in C and C++ because they're so low level. So I guess they are not as strongly typed. Yeah. So that means like reinterpret the memory as a different kind of pointer or something like that. Basically, yes. Okay. I'm casting to a different subclass of a class. Okay. Okay. But really, I don't think there's anything that's weekly and statically typed because that, I don't know. I mean, it doesn't really make sense. But there are weekly typed languages where there are just no types like JavaScript. Rather weakly typed. And then there are statically typed where you have to declare all the types like C and C++. Yeah. That's the kind of thing that I haven't, I haven't really gone that much into the theory of different types of programming paradigms and so on. So anyway, any other questions we should discuss? No comments from the audience. Yeah. I don't see anything. It's also one minute two. Yeah. How's our volume level doing? Should we do our standard test? So one, one, two, two, three, three. Okay. What do you think? If there's no comments on audio, I guess. Okay. Audio levels are good. So yeah. So the big picture of today, first we start with a little bit more of pandas. So we'll show about time series stuff and an overview of something from last time. And then we have a big long lesson on Matplotlib, which is the core plotting library. And that's sort of the basis of all the other plotting stuff. And then there's a quick summary of data formats and then a slightly longer description of productivity tools for Python, things like linters and stuff like that. Okay. But with that being said, let's start. So I will switch to YarnoScreen. Where's all my pointers? So
