I had never attempted this exercise before, so naturally, I was concerned. My friends simply dismissed my unease, saying “rock-climbing is not what it used to be”. <o:p></o:p><br /><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="">They were right.<br /><br /><o:p></o:p>Body line pressurized suits have been in use since 2012; first in NASA spacewalks and then were quickly introduced to the public. At first they were simply pressurized and used as a space suit based wrap. It increased mobility and decreased its size. Since then electronic fibers were introduced to manipulate the structure of the “smart” fabric thus magnifying the strength of movement while wearing the suit. Making the user of it, astoundingly stronger.<span style=""> </span>I knew that hours in the gym would not be needed for what would be a grueling rock-climbing trip, because my hire suit enhanced my strength five fold. The trip turned out to be great, getting to the top was definitely worth the now-easy trip.<span style=""> </span>Next month we will go kite surfing, I think I might need hire the suit again.<o:p></o:p></span></p>fictionthis1http://www.blogger.com/profile/04409690650285057755noreply@blogger.com
