And then I actually tried one of the full body electrical muscle simulation suits and it's, it's not a walk in the park.

It's hard.

To actually get the muscle stimulation, A, it's a pretty significant contraction.

B, it's a dashboard or a control unit that's bypassing your central governor, your brain, which sometimes forgets how to recruit certain motor units as you go through life.

So all of a sudden, you're using new muscles that you've never used before.

So you're ungodly sore the next day in many cases.

It is like your body temperature goes to the roof because you're using a whole bunch of muscles all at the same time.

It is...

It would fall into the category of like a biohack for muscle and they are effective.

I would say the downside is they're a little bit just inconvenient to get on and get in and out of and everything.

And they also, if you're not careful, can induce a pretty high amount of soreness.

And that's my problem is like whenever I'm doing a workout, like I really want to feel it.

And whenever I've used those EMS suits, I'm just like useless for days.

Really?

Yeah.

Well, this is funny.

I don't know if you're like this, but sometimes if I've got like an international flight or a period of time where I know I'm going to be sedentary, I'll crush a really hard workout before that.

Just so I'm just like less antsy.

I'm like, you know, obviously I'm afraid.

And you can't work out now anyway.
