Synopsis

GAIG is able to tie the deck he is using to different aspects of his psyche or body in order to indirectly train them when he uses his deck to practice magic.

Ideas

When he does push ups, he is actually practicing his "Double Lift". When he jogs, he is practicing his "Classic Force". Pulls ups perfect his "Top Change".

This can apply to anything, not only to playing cards. You would see people very buffed walking on the street, you wouldn't think they are no-brainers - quite the opposite! You would acknowledge the fact that they are probably masters of their craft BUT, they have not achieved this through actual training with their craft BUT through the use of interconnected development.

Comedic

if the person wants to indirectly train his ability, he must use the weapons of his craft when performing different workout activities. Always punching with a deck of cards in hand. If doing push ups, then you must have a number of decks on your back. If doing pull ups the bar must be made from metal playing cards.

Obviously, you can replace "deck of cards" with anything (violin, brush, lego).

Questions

1. What would you train in this way?

2. How do the exercises get assigned between the mental and the psychical?

3. How do you think these buffed and intelligent people would look like?

4. Would this type of training be considered cheating?
