But , you know , or maybe something else is wrong with me , but I'm sure there are many things else wrong with me . But um , how do you assess recovery at the local level ? Meaning at the level of the muscles ?

A as you mentioned , because the systemic recovery is gonna impact all those muscles anyway . But let's say you're systemically recovering every muscle itself is going to have AAA , you know , a recovery rate . And I think what's fascinating is that when you talked about before we like to train this week or we have uh like the way our mind looks at training .

No , we would do in , in spring training , we do sort of a baseline entry level measurement and then we would , we would measure it throughout the season , maybe once every two weeks or three weeks . And , and , and , you know , the , the idea there was to , to manage , to , you know , manage to recover , measure the recovery . Um , but I just gave it away , you know , there to , to , to do the , you know , to determine overall recovery , your grip strength is pretty highly correlated .
