Reading biographies of successful people, and if I had to summarize

researchers stuck electrodes into living human fascia during movement. recorded 0.7 millivolts per step. your connective tissue is a literal power grid and every step you take generates electricity 1/引用vittorio@IterIntellectus·6月19日it wasn't until 2020 that researchers actually counted nerve endings in human fascia. 250 million sensors. your skin only has 200 million. 1/ x.com/16559361497336…not metaphorical energy. measurable voltage. collagen crystals compress. ions displace. 1.4 picocoulombs of charge per newton of force. scientists couldn't believe their oscilloscopes. 2/zero electrical activity triggers apoptosis cascade. your cells interpret voltage silence as death signal. TNF-alpha spikes. degradation begins in 72 hours. 3/piezoelectricity in biological tissue. discovered 1957. ignored for 60 years. turns out it controls whether you heal or not 4/mechanical stress deforms collagen type I crystals. creates dipole moments. 10^-30 coulomb-meters and this opens mechanosensitive ion channels. 5/calcium rushes through Piezo1 channels. concentration jumps 340% in milliseconds. heads straight for the nucleus. 6/YAP/TAZ proteins sense the calcium. translocate to nucleus within 15 minutes. bind to TEAD transcription factors. collagen synthesis genes activate. 7/here's what destroyed the researchers: one subject. chronic back pain. decade of suffering. 8 weeks of targeted piezoelectric loading. ultrasound showed 15% fascia thickness reduction. pain: gone. 8/they measured voltage output by movement type: steady cardio: 0.2 millivolts average heavy eccentrics: 1.8 millivolts sustained plyometrics: 3.4 millivolt spikes 9/the cardio group's fascia maintained baseline. zero remodeling. resistance + plyo group: 3x collagen turnover rate. measured via hydroxyproline excretion. 10/low back pain patients show 25% thicker thoracolumbar fascia. that's electrical starvation. tissue that hasn't felt proper voltage in years. 11/8 hours sitting = 8 hours of cellular confusion. your fascia whispers "are we still needed?" no voltage/movement = your fascia is gone. 12/our ancestors generated current 14 hours daily. walking uneven terrain. carrying. climbing. we sit in electrical blackout wondering why everything hurts. 13/control your piezoelectric input or accept tissue death. that's the binary choice evolution offers. no negotiation. 14/the protocol that generates maximum voltage: 3-4 second eccentric phase 6-15 reps, 3 sets add 30 seconds plyometrics between 15/critical detail most miss: barefoot creates 40% more impact force. cushioned shoes = voltage dampeners. your nikes are insulation. 16/subjects report feeling "electrically alive." not just stronger. like someone flipped a biological switch. turns out, they did. 17/66-day neuroplastic window. that's how long to hardwire the habit. after that, voltage generation runs on autopilot. 18/every rep sends electrical votes. maintain or degrade, charge or die. your cells count the ballots in real-time. 19/
