Live Beyond the Norms 20-Minute Full Body Workouts That Feel Like Two-Hour Gym Sessions: The EMS Training Revolution | Alec Oliver
A single 20-minute session in a wireless suit left my wife sore for six days and turned a fit CrossFitter into someone who suddenly felt the barbell was loaded wrong because he got dramatically stronger after just two workouts. Alec Oliver, the founder of SQAI, brought elite-athlete electrical muscle stimulation out of secret training rooms and million-dollar clinics and made it something you can own, control from your phone, and use while you watch TV.
We go hard on the science of why EMS recruits twice the muscle fibers, no matter how heavy you lift, and how it hits fast-twitch fibers on demand, so you keep explosive power into your 70s and 80s. We also discuss why EMS builds bone density from both sides of every joint, and how a $99/month suit is quietly becoming the biggest longevity hack most people still don’t know exists.
“I don’t care how heavy you lift, I don’t care how fast you run or how high you jump. EMS is just science. It activates twice as many muscle fibers and acts more deeply and more comprehensively.” Alec Oliver
