Hey, that's pretty fast!

But pulling tires isn't just about trying to run as fast as you possibly can. This is about using every muscle you can as well as strengthening them.

So, focus on your form!
Think about how you're going to propel yourself forward and remember what you do!

Use your body the right way!

Okay!

Huff... Huff...!
This is...

R-Rough...
M-My legs... I can't move them...

(Pulling these tires...
Even just one feels incredibly heavy...!
I'm struggling to move forward...!)

Alright, just six more laps!

Okay!

Huff... Huff...

Good job, everyone. You made it through.

Thank you...

This certainly seems like a good way to put on more muscle...

However, as I mentioned earlier, all of you became so caught up in pulling the tires that you forgot what this exercise was actually about...

The goal is not to pull as fast as you can, but to figure out the best way to use your muscles.

The next time you find yourself doing some heavy lifting like this, don't hesitate to take it slow. Understand how your body is reacting and how to make use of your center of gravity.

For example, just during this exercise, did you notice how much easier it was for you to produce power when you got down low?

Yes...
I got that sense partway through.

(I didn't realize what I was actually doing at first, but my body just seemed to naturally bend lower and lower...)

(If exercises like these will help me learn how to control all the muscles in my body, then...!)

Mr. Kijima!

I'd like to do another set with those tires! This time, I'd like to try pulling more!

What?! Are you sure, Tsukasa?!

Another set?

Yes!

I want to become a star...

And in order to make that dream come true, I'd like to do absolutely everything I can right now!

Hmm...

You want to become stronger in order to achieve your goals. I know that feeling all too well.

That being said, trying to pull more tires than you can handle may lead to you hurting your legs and posture. I really wouldn't recommend doing this...

Still...
If you're that determined to do another set, then I'll allow it!

...!
Does that mean...?

Let's do another set right now!
Start with one lap and try working your way up to three if you're feeling good. How does that sound?

Thank you very much...
I really appreciate it!

Alright, start!
You chase after me as I run!

(Hnng...!
So heavy! But it is just that much more weight...!)

(Obviously, I'm absolutely struggling to move my legs...!)

(No, calm down...!
He just told you that going fast doesn't matter!)

(Think about your entire body. Think about what muscles you need to use in order to move forward. Then, go!)

(Wait, if I lower my center of gravity too much, then I'm going to end up in a funny stance...)

(Mr. Kijima isn't actually leaning forward all that much... Is he making it so he can keep his legs vertical despite all this weight? I'll try copying him...!)

(Oh, this makes things much easier...
I feel like I can sort of run now. Alright, I'll keep going and...!)

(That's one lap!)

Oh, you're really getting the hang of this.
Alright, Tenma, give me two more laps! Don't give up!

Okay! I can keep going...!

Huff... Huff... Huff...

Nice work, Tsukasa.

That was amazing!
You actually finished!

Yes, well...
This is nothing for a future star such as myself... Huff... Huff...

(I finished, but now I can't get up...)

That was good.
I admire your guts.

Thank you...

However, I need to take this opportunity to say something that an actor such as yourself needs to hear...

I know that you want to keep growing no matter what, but training harder and doing more reps or sets isn't always the answer.

You're a hardworking person, which means you need to know what your body's limits are!

Yes, you're absolutely right...
Getting hurt is the opposite of what I want...

Exactly. But having the guts to really go for it is also important. Your passion is the fuel you need to keep growing.

...!

So, let's keep growing together and find ways to cleverly use those guts!

Yes, let's!!!
