Rush & Crystal
Crystal
I was just looking at how the mineral composition of our bones and muscles changes with training – it’s like watching a crystal grow, but with muscles. What’s the most surprising pattern you’ve noticed in your own workouts?
Rush
Man, the biggest surprise was that after blasting through a brutal upper‑body session, my legs actually grew thicker the next day – the body’s way of balancing the load is insane. I also noticed my grip strength shooting through the roof just from a few kettlebell swings, like a crystal forming in the most unexpected spot.
Crystal
That’s a clear sign the body’s balancing act is working – the muscle fibers just re‑align like a crystal under stress. Kettlebell swings are a great way to overload the hand tendons, so the rapid grip gains are exactly what you’d expect when the strain hits the right spot.
Rush
Totally! Every swing is a tiny battle, and those tendons are like the frontline. The next time you swing, imagine a crystal forming under your grip – that's the win. Keep pushing, and watch the body shape-shift.
Crystal
Sounds like you’ve tapped into the tendon’s natural repair rhythm – it’s like a crystal lattice re‑forming after being cracked. Keep visualising that, and the growth will stay predictable and precise.
Rush
Yeah, I keep picturing those tiny crystal shards aligning in my hand each swing – it keeps the momentum going and the gains coming. Keep that visual in your head and you’ll feel the rhythm.
