And that block is present when we're just sitting down, as you and I are right now.

But when we squat, that puborectalis muscle relaxes and the tube straightens out again.

So we're able to go and push things out effectively.

If we're not squatting, we just have to generate a lot more force.

Now, I don't think that anybody is going to go back to squatting.

We used to do that thousands of years ago.

Nobody wants to do that in the comfort of their own homes.

Oh, I've seen those.

I've lived those.

So some people still love squatting.

And those people are on to something.

And actually, I'm sure they have like better balance than a lot of us have.

But if you're not ready for that, or you just like are going to say like, there's no way I'm going to swap out.

This is way easier to go than before.

And they've studied this, that even healthy people find that lifting their knees up allows them to go more easily.

Yeah.

Modern life has done us this disservice.
