In this segment, the speaker debates whether one should change or keep the same exercises in a training routine. He recounts an exchange with a person nicknamed “Pispão,” asking if the exercise should be swapped. The speaker then cites an anecdote about a Mr. Universe champion who achieved two titles while exclusively using barbell curls, emphasizing that such empirical success would not be abandoned simply because science later questions it. Referencing Valdemar Guimarães, he underscores that scientific knowledge is built upon athletes’ empirical experiences—practitioners try, feel, develop, and only later does science validate what works. The core claim is that tracking every individual exercise isn’t necessary as long as the trainee maintains progressive overload and continues to advance.
