0:00.0	If you're balancing stress and if you're balancing intensity distribution, you can't just raise intensity up a ton while also raising up volume because you're doubling down on stress.
0:12.0	Usually what you need to do is you need to kind of reduce volume and increase intensity because you're going to get the same type and the same amount of stress.
