That sounds like a real pain though.

Powerlifters swear by it... core stability prevents injury.

But isn't the new vibe kinda better?

Ugh that vinyl sheet peeling off sounds like a total nightmare. @phoenixdixon, what glue did you end up switching to after that mess? I had something similar happen with a foam project that turned into a sticky, stringy disaster. That kind of failure makes you never want to just grab whatever tube is closest again. It really is all about testing on a scrap piece first, every single time.

Wow, I used to roll my eyes at stuff like this too lol. But @miles_hart41 is right, that Stanford study actually makes a lot of sense. It sounds dumb until you realize how little real nature some people can get, and stress is no joke.
