Stanford researchers' cooling glove 'better than steroids'

[DWelch1775]

:laugh2:

maybe the Raiders got a defective one.

 

[rkell87]

Different design and manufacturer probably. It operates under the same premise though.

i'd rather have the air tight one if i'm dropping 3 grand

 

[Hoofbite]

You could probably make this thing for less than $35.

Use a roof jack to form the seal, get a piece of 4" ABS about 12" long and then taper it down to fit an inflatable mattress pump.

Literally, $35 at most.

They put the hose on the wrong port and were essentially filling themselves full of hot air.

The problem is that that one is probably more than $3k.

1. Build a prototype that costs $35
2. Patent your design
3. ???????
4. Profit!

This thing intrigued me and the results did as well but lets be honest I was skeptical. I wanted to make one but I am not the handiest person but I could still most likely make one btu what a pain. They are just cooling the body looks like by sealing the hand in a container with icepack and a hose. The concept is to cool the body temperature through the hands.

I thought about this well what is the most used thing to dissipate heat in the world ? duh it dawns on me water. My version of their test was born a sink full of cold tap water add just enough ice to make it nice and cold but not freezing. The principals are the same cooling the body by my hands. Having my hands completely submerged in cold water is the same thing as having it seal in a barrier with an ice pack no hose but I am dissipating any heat with the water.

I am basically 10 workouts in on this experiment and I have been stunned on how well it has worked. (I work out in the evenings due to schedule)

Give you my current status on workouts last may i just started working on getting back in shape it is been a long haul but I have slowly ramped up my work outs to its current point. I am going to post the work out at the end in case some people are curious.

Four nights a week I do a 3 set routine with 5 minute break in between; One night a week martial arts training and once a week special routine. Six total days.

Here is what happen I did my special routine for the first time and i was so sore i could barely left my arms above my head. I did my normal workout and it was a struggle being so sore but completed. The next day still sore I struggle though my first set then I start I put my hands in a the sink full of cold water for 4Min.Start my 2nd set no more soreness and I power through the set I am thinking that is just my mind. 4m in ice water bam power through my third set better than I ever have. 4min sink done for the night.

Wake up no stiffness no soreness nothing. Next day work out my start is ok but my 2nd and 3rd set I get even better and stronger than my first set more intensity more reps (Same Ice down procedure). I follow this routine for 5 workouts. Note normally on my 3rd set I have over lunges and have stayed with a lighter weight because my knees start to hurt so bad since the icing in between with the hands I jumped 10lbs on my lunge and my knees no longer hurt.

Wait I am not done so I wonder what would happen if I iced before I even started working out so the last 5 workouts have been with hands in ice sink 4m before i lift a weight. Best first set ever whole new level for me and my 2nd and 3rd set where getting stronger and stronger. This time when I iced down before my special set my best effort at it yet. Tonight was my 5th workout with icing the hands before even starting and in between and I powered through for my best sets ever.

I am sold on the cooling method now; like I said all I am doing is sticking my hands in a sink of ice cold water for 4minutes before working out, in between sets and after workout completion.

Since I started no sore muscles, no knee pain during workouts, able to push harder than ever on sets.

On martial arts night I only ice down when I get home the one time I did not I was stiff and sore the next day (pretty standard for me in the past)

so interesting! In the article they seem to only be upping reps/sets and not weight. Do you feel stronger or do you feel like you could go longer? Do you think you could up the sets or up the reps until you are sore or do you think the point is that this method keeps you from being sore?

please keep us updated even if this thread gets locked make a new one!

At first I felt I could go longer and harder but last night I felt I could up my weight on my kettle bell. You still have to progress on weight but the jump seems quicker.

I think the method help prevents you from being sore. I am sure there is threshold where that becomes a false statement where that breaking point is for you will still end up sore no idea yet.

I can tell you after last night I feel I can and a 4th routine with ease now; where routine three prior to doing the test was pure let me just get this done because I hurt, exhausted etc.

I wonder how much of this is mental.

I wonder how much of this is mental.

What I thought as well before I started and even after the first few times. I thought I might have convinced myself but not anymore.

Just a side note to this thread (and I'm not even sure if it relates, but anyway):

I have my workout equipment in my garage. During the summer, I seem to perform less reps than in the winter. During the summer, the garage is extremely hot while in the winter it is very cold.

I would put that under the concept of too cold which like being too hot slows down your production. This is about regulating your body temperature so in a really really cold environment like that you may want to warm your body up.

I have a small place to workout in my computer room/scout gear room hence the use of Kettle Bells

this is awesome!!

I thinking of ways I can use this method at my local gym
