Definitely a good catch. As a scientist and healthcare professional we are always working on providing information to clients at a 7th grade level for the general public to understand. It's always a work in progress, sort of like being bilingual. Researching and communicating with colleagues in one language and communicating with clients the same info in a totally different language
@@joe1071 thing is, aerobic/anaerobic respiration is a 7th/8th grade concept. Sure you can go into more detail once the kids are older but knowing what ATP is... Its basic stuff.
Holy shit! When I was at my biggest muscle gains, well just before it, I realized one day when I felt my core temp was hot and wanted to continue my workout, that if i let cold water run on my up turned wrists and palms for a little while under the sink at the gym i felt good again and went back out to workout longer. That was years ago and now i see this video with this product that essentially does the same thing. CRAZY!
@@JeffCaplan313 thats not exactly what you should be doing no, that cools and constricts vessels all across the body and just like he said for example cooling down certain parts of the body is counter productive, and submerging yourself completely in ice water makes your body compensate by creating more heat to stay warm. This will force your body to metabolize more yes, but it will not give you the internal cooling you need to keep going in a short amount of time you have between sets. Thats even if you discount the time it takes to submerge in ice water and get back on the bench it still would not provide that internal organ cooling desired to keep going without hurting yourself or dying from internally overheating, which is the soul goal of this product. It hacks the body by allowing you to dump heat out of your hands, feet and face like 300% faster than physically possible without also cooling counter productive areas of the body like your neck, etc and thus cools you internally preserving your internals from overheating while also preventing yor body from being thrown into an intense metabolizing state which only creates more heat overall. To be more precise it doesn't allow you to dump heat, it simply allows your body to "carry" that cooling effect via a refrigerator on your hands where hot blood circulates down into your hand and back up into your internals. Humans will never be capable of this naturally and thus this is equivalent to body enhancing drugs that also allow you to work longer in any single session, just without juicing and all its glorious side effects.
you could use flat ice instead of having to grab frozen bottles, or just wrap your hands with icey water in bags, this guy is just trying to sell you something expensive you don't need, prolly the whole thing about grabbing and having a grip being counter productive or useless is nothing but him trying to sell his snake oil, im sticking to ice cold bags :)
The ice is too cold and restricts your blood vessels. I have a bathroom in a climate controlled home gym. So I just run my wrist under the tap. You could just get a bucket of cool water and a small towel for a cold compress.
I'm in the UK, and we're for our cold and wet weather. When I did hiking years ago, someone told me that it's important to cover your wrists with your sleeves, as that's where a lot of your body heat escapes. I never thought to implement this in the reverse to training and intentionally cooldown from the wrists between sets!
I've been using 2 pairs of ice glass bottles at the gym for about 10 months now. The first bottle set for the first half, the second for the second half of my work out. Before hand cooling, I would run hot, sweat and run into muscle fatigue. I no longer have fatigue problems or sweat. Every time I move onto a new set or new exercise I feel fresh and un-fatigued, this benefit alone is a complete game changer in the gym. This science is crazy, the results are even crazier. Best of luck to you all
I wonder if there is a reason why the human body dosn't allow the excessive production of force over the natural boundaries...RIGHT: Injury prevention! Great for top level sports which make athletes millions, but for the average Joe without a team of doctors, really just a quicker way to get injured. I think connective tissue recovery is greatly overlooked in this whole area.
Yup, usually, there is no "free lunch". If you gain one thing, you often lose another thing elsewhere. It's interesting regardless, and we need more data.
As a kid I learned that if you place a cold water on your wrist it helps cool you down. This is a detailed and highly advanced breakdown. Love the education in this
i use it the other way around , when it's cold outside , you can also use hot water on your wrists and hands to get warm real quick , you just feel your body temp go up in a couple minutes
The thing about wearing gloves while cycling literally happened to me this week. One day, wore my bike gloves out to cycle in 15 degrees Celcius, could not make myself to cycle and kept wanting to go home. The next day, 25 mins of high pace cycling at 150 bpm, Felt Like I could do more but restrained myself from doing too much cardio, Was Not wearing my gloves this time.
For those interested, he did a podcast with Dr. Craig Heller recently (October 4th), the guy at Stanford who developed this technology and studies body temperature regulation etc.
For those interested, Greg Nuckols dismantled Heller's work while trying very hard to keep a straight face and stay neutral in the Stronger by Science podcast. The study was ridiculous, with pros progressing faster than newbies and the effect sizes were pretty unbelievable when compared to other studies in the literature.
After moving to the area you hear is a ton of crazy cool things that Stanford works on. I'm here because of a roommate 😅. From more plates more dates to this to robotic surgery to a fish treadmill in my garage lol. Stanford students really are unique.
I grew up doing performance sports in Florida but when I moved to northern Germany, where life is wonderfully cold, my sports performance increased dramatically. I could do longer, with more intensity, and more enjoyably than being in a warm or hot environment. Even now, 35 years later, my best results are always when it's cold.
I tried this in the gym during a rock climbing workout (there was exposed metal that touched the outside which was 30f) and my power output and the amount of sets I was able to do increased amazingly. I also tested grip strength on 2 days and saw under the same conditions and sets to failure being the precursor, that my grip strength went from 76-91 (post failure but the 91 had ice for 30 seconds instead of rest)
I first tested this concept myself using metal bars on a playground outside during cooler weather (similar to your story) and noticed the benefits during pull ups. Unfortunately, cold metal is not always accessible, which is why I invented Kühler. Check us out @getkuhler and maybe we can help you out 💪
13:09 Last Saturday I learned that this is exactly the case. I did a long run in the 50s & heavy rain and I was able to make it to 30 miles. Longest I had done before that was a marathon. My whole body was basically in a cool mit the entire time, and my muscles felt stable and had good endurance, but of course got pretty tired out by the end. Running low on calories seemed to become the limiting factor.
I tried a variation of this for my workout this morning (02/28/2023). I have a mini-fridge in my gym with water bottles at about 36 degrees. Bottom line, holy shit this works! In between sets, I would pull out a water bottle, hold it in my hands for 25 seconds, then put it back and lift. I was able to do 30-40% more reps, exact same workout exercises/weights I did a week ago. I felt unstoppable.
@@timoborri298 tried it some more over the weekend (03/06/2023). I’m lifting weights that I fail with at the 13-14 rep mark. I’m holding cool plastic water bottles in my hands for 50 seconds to a minute. Doing that, I have been able to get to 20 and even 24 reps with the same weight. It basically turns me into Superman. I’m going to do it every other workout for a couple of weeks and see what happens
A few decades back they were doing studies with cooling bands around the wrists and saw significant improvements in endurance by regulating core temperatures.
While I always learn something from Huberman, his comment about not planning to have kids till he's 50, might have been the best thing I've ever heard him say. Thanks for the chill pill to stop stressing that I don't have kids at 42. You're the best Huberman.
Bro, or sir, since you're 11 years older than me😆 my dad didn't have me, his 2nd and last son, until he was your age, and I turned out great. Mom was 38. I'm so blessed to have had parents with maturity and wisdom. I'm ahead of a lot of my peers today because of it. Also, one of my gurus didn't have children until he was in his late 80's, wife was late 70's or early 80's. Her hair was still completely black, and they were both fit for their age. If you take your health seriously it can be done. I myself don't plan on having kids until I'm around your age, because that's when I'm scheduled to retire from the Army. I just found a woman who I actually trust with my seed too. Do what you know is best.
Hey Mark, this is such a huge breakthrough, I'm having trouble believing it. Would you be able to post a video of the coolmit in use with a thermal camera to track the drop in body temperature? It all makes sense but seeing the temperature drop upfront would solidify my belief in the product.
@@BeGrizzlyStrong You've got your order of operations the wrong way around. Consider what 300% looks like in the real world. Then ask why you don't see all pro athletes in nearly all sports utilizing a method that was studied over 10 years ago. The researcher says it's better or as good as steroids and it's not banned by WADA so why don't we see pro athletes using it?
I use to live in the middle east and the villagers also do this back in Philippines. While ice to the neck is the worst thing to do, you wrap a cold wet towel around the back of your neck and can also put a wet cold towel on your head. This was to keep your core and an optimal level when working in the desert or tropical forest. Putting your feet in cool water while having a cold wet towel on your head does the same thing. You notice when your at the beach and you try to walk into cold water you cant handle it but the trick is to dip your head in as fast as you can so your body adapts to the cold as soon as possible. All this sounds like the concept of that. Where you keep your core cool to keep on chugging along.
@@BeGrizzlyStrong here are 2 tips to help you in life. 1 you will always be ignored when you waste your breath from the side lines telling people with experience what you heard/read/watch about any topic 2 really need to listen/read and pay attention to the details so that you dont sound stupid when try and state something. Re-watch the video and then read what i wrote if you still did not spot the difference then have someone smarter to do the work for you
It amazes me every time... How he never forgets to mention other people who are assisting him or the fact that he is showcasing someone else's idea or product..
I am seeing this as a technique to implement only on occasion. I can't imagine suddenly adding that much volume being good for your joints. But it sounds great to break through a plateau or perhaps in competition.
Actually volume is exactly what you want for tendons and joints. Low weight high volume stretch based exercise. It’s high loads that are bad for ur joins
Seems pretty interesting. I wonder if there are any actual training adaptations beyond endurance. If you're increasing the volume that much, i would expect normally expect injury from overuse. I wonder how it affects movements like a loaded barbell squat in the 70-80% range, rather than a relatively easy bodyweight movement like a dip. The NFL player anecdote is interesting, but did he get any better from the extra volume? Does that extra ability to tolerate that volume still exist today? It seems too good to be true. I imagine this will be primarily useful for performance in competition, but it could possibly convey a huge advantage which is interesting
Makes me think of when I played rugby in some day long tournaments, we would try and use ice baths between each game to cool our core temp down through our hands so that we weren’t dead by the 5th game on a hot day
nobody needs 200-400 repts and 20-40 sets for the same muscle, 4-10 per work out will do, anything else is pointless and or counter productive, only value I see here is less overall exhaustion, which is nice, so is ice :) ....Imagine jogging or doing cardio with that thing in comparison to a frozen bottle 😃 you would need to put it in a backpack
What about just holding on to the power rack or a stack of iron plates while you rest? They are usually cooler than the room temperature and most gyms aren't super hot or cold.
the metal sitting in a room would be the exact same temperature as the room. But yeah I get what you’re saying, it’s significantly cooler than your body and the metal conducts heat transfer quickly.
Cooling the body's core temperature is a "Cool idea" (pun) but what about training the body to handle more heat? Adding a hot tub or sauna to training triggers heat shock proteins and wouldn't it acclimate the body to higher thermal body heat? You could even dip your hands in hot water between sets to challenge the body early in the workout, rather than trying to cool the body later in the workout.
I cannot respond to all your questions, but cooling your body to increase performance is not the same as using hot steam/water to TRAIN your body to support heat increases. So, one is to increase performance of your lifting training and the other one is to train your body for future hit increase.
I have a lot more questions. This is obviously awesome for strength and workload training. How does it effect hypertrophy? I lift in Michigan and always feel like I get a better pump in a 90° gym rather than a 65° gym. Also would love to know if cooling prevent injuries or could it increase the chance of some? They have some awesome articles on the website, but it's all workload related.
It's bad, i looked it up. And it's so badly done i can't believe he talks about it, as if it's a magical thing. They compared 2 weeks of pull-up gains to 6 weeks of pull ups gain
@@GoalOrientedLiftingI’ve read what their website says for the pull-up study but do you have a link to any published material from the study? I ask because I don’t see anywhere it says that they’re comparing a 2-week study to a 6-week study. The graph shows an exponential increase with cooling after each set and a linear increase cooling after each workout. Unless you have more information about the study, then I don’t think you can possibly come to the conclusion that the study was conducted improperly.
@@ryanb5099 th-cam.com/video/Bh4um-4GgQ0/w-d-xo.html starts around minute 32. There might be some advantage to palm cooling, but nowhere near the 300%. In fact, most studies only see benefits, in a hot environtment. This whole thing makes me question anything the man says.
Regarding injury from rapid volume increase, the solution would be to restrict increases to 10% per week. In the meantime studies on injury from much more rapid volume increases from the Cool Mitt should be done.
Yeah, I think it's good to stress that the really big volume increases are on studies of people who are already very proficient at that exercise. I've played around with cooling my hands, and did feel like I could increase volume, but I did find I was sore afterwards.
So, I tried this by filling a water bottle with ice water, and holding it in one hand then the other. To reproduce the vacuum, I would just rapidly flex and extend my hand. From the sauna, I tried just running my hands under cold water while again... flexing and extending rapidly. Results were amazing, because you can feel the core cool. Normanlly, I will sweat a lot after showering when I use the sauna, but cooling this way left me not sweating.
the study details abstract section explains that the 144% increase was during a 6 week period compared to people who did same training without cold exposure
I'm thinking the same, I wonder what the optimum temperature is though. Temperature seems to be the most important aspect from what he's suggested. I have a cold tub in my gym and am thinking about running over to it and dipping my hands in between sets to see if anything happens.
@@MitigateOurRuin I guess it doesn't really matter. I mean, the device they used seemed to just transfered the heat away, without being uncomfortable (so not that cold). I think cold water on the palm of the hands is colder than that, and good enough, without messing with the skin. I'll try anyway 😅
I've been running cold water over my wrists to cool down for many years now. I don't remember who told me or where I heard it first, but I'm glad to hear this confirmed here.
Are you familiar with the research done by Michigan University that would seemly contradict this theory? It was related to Wim Hof and how exposure to cold on the hands and feet can actually make your core body temperature go up not down
He somewhat indirectly talked about that, he said the glove isn’t too cold because if it was it would cause your body to heat up. I think the difference is the temp. I think the glove is like 18-20c room temp is 22c and an ice bath is going to be about 0c
Sceptical on this. Probably works for over heating but not everyone over heats during a weightlifting workout. When I do pull-ups I wear gloves because my hands get too cold, and less blood circulates to them.
I feel so much better and more energetic when I wash my hands and face with cold water. In between exercises I sometimes do this and get a second wind. Before you Wim Hoff junkies out there say do Wim Hoff, I do. I have cold showers, cold showers dont energize me, they make me relaxed because they stimulate your parasympathetic nervous system, not your sympathetic system.
Wow, sometimes I workout even in rain outside only in shorts and those workouts are the most badass. Now I know why. The rain is cooling me down and I´m able to work out almost without breaks between the sets.
astronauts have vests that are filled with liquids which can heat and cool their body core. And i saw a darpa research video where a soldier used something like that and or a kind of glove that they could wear to keep their body core temp low while wearing lots of gear that caused their body temp to go up and also while expending lots of energy carrying heavy loads.. it also helps them reduce amount of liquid they lose through sweating.
I called this having a beer when I work out. I’ll go to the fridge and grab a couple of beers or cold cans and hold onto them in between sets. It really does work
Another option I found is battery powered fans. A certain market website has some that are 4000mAh for $12. They are USB recharcheable with an extra large battery and 3 speeds. They have a tough cage and are good for holding in the hands. I got them to use while falling alseep. They are claimed to be able to run for 20 hours.
Hmm, so would it be beneficial to go do a workout in your back yard in 40 degree fahrenheit weather(without a coat on), instead of doing your workout in a 75 degree fahrenheit gym?
When I was in high school we had to do a week long project that was pretty involved. I don’t remember all of it but one kid slacked off the whole week and on Friday presented the “ATP Powerband” which was a rubber band on his wrist that he said could recharge your bodies ATP level. I feel like this is pretty much on that level.
What about running in winter conditions, although it’s not juste the portal in contact with the cold, but the whole body, does it have the same effects ? Personally, I find that running in winter is better for my body than running in the summer, I often get heat strokes
When Mark Bell is being quiet while talking to guys like this, he is really just concentrating on not calling them out on their bull crap claims. Huberman in the video literally says “it won’t make you stronger.”
I do not think a Stanford neurobiology professor would push stuff if the studies were bullshit. That would be the end of his career, and being amongst the top of academia is no small feat. Also, with my primary school knowledge about biology I literally could rationalize how it wouldn't make you stronger but would allow you to do more work.
@@sm-qw9mj @sm well maybe your primary school education means you dont understand "tenure". You probably also overestimate how much academia cares or pays attention to fitness products. The reason this area is so exploitable is because of how little it is studied compared to actual medical problems and how weak the studies are, either in size, adherence or scope. It's not uncommon for institutions to employ professors with fringe opinions, especially if it doesn't interfere with their work. You should probably avoid weak arguments like "hes a professor therefore he's right", look for a consensus of scientific opinion rather than the opinions of one individual. Pre-emptively expecting you to double down and not wanting to get dragged into an endless youtube argument, gonna mute you bye.
9:31 Andrew says "Some guys have written to me and gotten really good results finding a cold object in the gym, you know it's sort of a poor man's version of it but it's hard to know if it's cold enough" Actually there is no cold object in the room since every single object in a room have the exact same temperature! The reason metal feels cold is due to "Thermal Conductivity". Since metal is good conductor it will rapidly extract the heat from your hand until the surface of your hand and the object reach "Thermal equilibrium". It is not that the object is cold , it is that your hand is warmer (36-37 degrees Celsius). The sensation of cold on your palm is because you are feeling the loss of your body heat from your hand. In fact we CAN NOT feel temperature (I know it sounds strange). What we feel is either the loss or gain of heat energy. The reason why a book feels warm while glass and metal feel cold is because paper is a poor conductor so it is not extracting as much of your body heat away from you.
Shoutout to COSTELLO! I bet he'd love this question, I hope. I used Costello's name to trigger your acetylcholine response ("carefully"...attentional blinks podcast ep. reference.) I apologize if that's rude Andrew. And thank you for your work! You're one of my role models and a true academic. If a benefit of the Coolmitt or AVAV-tech is to partly allow dramatic linear increases in high-quality work volume then what sort of implications might that have for the various conditioning protocols already utilized in specialized sports focusing on hypertrophic exercise programming (i.e. increased work load relationship to MPS through metabolic byproducts of high-volume exercise at optimized levels, hormone modulation via exercise circa the classic 10x10 method, collagen protein synthesis and bone density stimulated by fibrocytes & fibroblasts in response to repeated stress on the joints and bones exhibited at certain levels of work volume (high rep @low-weight or low/med reps @moderate/heavy loads; net work volume). Since most research indicates that the general population would benefit from higher-volume work loads & cardio whether to prevent cardiovascular disease or to prevent osteoporosis or to supplement a healthier diet or to influence hormone production in sedentary individuals for healthier brain/body function, then would the conditioning period during which their metabolism & physiology begins to adapt to the new internal and external stresses that are being stimulated by the exercise become significantly reduced? Could aspiring athletes short-circuit the stereotypical adjustment period when their organs, muscles, connective tissues, brain and bones are adapting to a physically demanding training program- in other words, is there a strong positive correlation between high-quality, high-volume work sets performed with proper rest ranges per set and utilizing progressive overload between work days and the productivity of our body's mechanical & cellular adaptive mechanisms? Can the typical 6 mo.'s-2 years often espoused by bro scientists as the minimum adjustment period be drastically reduced, assuming coolmitt-assisted individuals maintain proper nutritional intake and sleep quality? Could elderly individuals now utilize extremely high rep low-weight exercise programs (3x or 4x higher in possible work volume per muscle) with optimized recovery faster than was possible before the introduction of the technology? I'd love to see an interview with a physiologist or kinesiologist on the possible benefits of this technology with respect to current findings in the field of muscle recovery and advanced athletic performance.
Got into cerebral overheating years ago but I didn't realize one could cool the whole body through the hands. Makes sense tho and the body continues to amaze....
That's why I love to workout on winter. I live in south Brazil, and here we have all the 4 seasons well defined, in the summer we get 30ºC easily and at winter the most of the days stay at the 0ºC to 10ºC range, and a few around -5ºC to 5ºC. In the summer for me is a nightmare, i swet a lot, it's much harder to breath. I learn that i need to dry the swet from the skin constantly, cause it helps your body to continue the cooling the system. This gadgets like Huberman presents here are awesome, we need more things like this in the daily routine.
One of the great overlooked applications for this they mentioned would be sleep. How many people can't sleep well because they're big, heavy, and hot/sweaty at night?
I was 100% exhausted from walking in the morning for 1-2 straight but I lay down in park and took deep breath and it was cold 🥶, after few minutes I was completely recovered and I started running my body was so much refreshed that I was willing Carey on but I realised I don’t want to exhusted myself but that was one ☝️ time I realised it’s not about how much instead how long that matters word to word how you explained makes sense it’s not enhancing instead it better understand so workout could be hours and hours without getting tired and doing whole years world out in days weeks or even month instead of years without injuries
Wondering what this device would do for my golf game. Lucas Glover who is a PGA pro who won a tournament last year. This guy is a prolific sweater and in order to keep his hands dry, he put his hands in an ice bucket on every hole to stop his hands from sweating. Won the tournament.
For those interested, Greg Nuckols dismantled the effect of cooling and the study that used this glove by Heller in particular while trying very hard to keep a straight face and stay neutral in the Stronger by Science podcast. The study was ridiculous, with pros progressing faster than newbies and the effect sizes were pretty unbelievable when compared to other studies in the literature.
@@LeedsHypnotherapist thank you for the link. I think more research is necessary, certainly. Greg's sarcasm and suspicion regarding the last study aside, I don't think its fair to characterize it as a dismantling, as the original commenter stated. It may not be the best word for it considering the connotation. Certainly, Greg has input on how the studies could be improved, but his bias also shows.
The icepack on the neck is an old trick but I believe it is just tricking your medulla oblongata to sense that the body is cooler than it is, this can be calming but he right it would then down regulate cooling mechanisms some what
The issue with an ice pack is it would cause vasoconstriction and wouldn’t allow cool blood to travel to your heart. Your body heat would change the pack’s temperature as well so cool water would become warm water eventually
So our bodies are like an engine (IE: airplane engine) that runs more efficiently in cold weather. So wouldn't it be best to just train in colder air since the largest organ is our skin aka more surface area to circulate the temperature?
they need to actually conduct scientific studies with strict boundaries and control groups instead of citing one instance of some dude doing a ton of dips. And have someone who actually can explain the science behind it instead of this dude who's like its uh ADP ...ATP uh it cools the core and UH ...blah blah blah.
If heat can be removed quickly enough during performance I wonder; how far can continuous performance be extended? What the will the ultimate performance limiting factor be? Could someone do indefinite push-ups while using two of these?
I love what you do professor, but this looks like a commercial, you can also do it with a cold bottle of water and it's something I learned from you, it should be cold not so cold, and that's what I do and it works
I tried freezing a half full glass bottle, because glass transfers heat more effectively, and the bottom is too cold while the top stays cool. Anyway, I am doing this for couple of weeks and I feel nothing different.
@@TheMchef it works for sure, and every single time, the way I do it is I keep filling the water bottle with cold water at the gym, if it's too cold you will not get any benefits from it, it should be cold not freezing
To all the folks trashing Andrew you need to do your research. He's solid. He's about as much an expert you will ever EVER find by a long shot when it comes to this stuff.
I like Andrew and his content on Neuroscience is exceptional but this is slightly out of his wheelhouse and he had the professor who developed this on his podcast, I think this has potential but it's far too early to demonstrate this technology without further studies but cool introduction to the strength/bodybuilding community
@@nathanroberts6356 id agree with you if I felt like he was pushing it but have you ever tried cold exposure? Obviously me and you both know you don't need a product to practice cold exposure or get its benefits but he was simply showing off a fun product that honestly id love to own. Its as useful as any of the stuff other people push and to be honest andrew huberman has given society so much value and hasn't charged a dime I wish he Was getting paid for some of the advertising he does.

Let's just say we need independent replication to say the least. Also, I would rather trust Greg Nuckols and Dr. Eric Trexler over an Neuro/Opthalmology Prof when it comes to performance and exercise science every time.
run your wrists under cold water and you'll cool down fast, a technique my grandmother taught me years ago and it costs nothing

That was years ago and now i see this video with this product that essentially does the same thing. CRAZY!
Ill give that a try, I have one high rep routine I do with a hex bar, so I would at least notice if it did anything
Wim Hof. Cold baths. Just do it.
@@JeffCaplan313 thats not exactly what you should be doing no, that cools and constricts vessels all across the body and just like he said for example cooling down certain parts of the body is counter productive, and submerging yourself completely in ice water makes your body compensate by creating more heat to stay warm. This will force your body to metabolize more yes, but it will not give you the internal cooling you need to keep going in a short amount of time you have between sets. Thats even if you discount the time it takes to submerge in ice water and get back on the bench it still would not provide that internal organ cooling desired to keep going without hurting yourself or dying from internally overheating, which is the soul goal of this product. It hacks the body by allowing you to dump heat out of your hands, feet and face like 300% faster than physically possible without also cooling counter productive areas of the body like your neck, etc and thus cools you internally preserving your internals from overheating while also preventing yor body from being thrown into an intense metabolizing state which only creates more heat overall.
To be more precise it doesn't allow you to dump heat, it simply allows your body to "carry" that cooling effect via a refrigerator on your hands where hot blood circulates down into your hand and back up into your internals. Humans will never be capable of this naturally and thus this is equivalent to body enhancing drugs that also allow you to work longer in any single session, just without juicing and all its glorious side effects.
Try some baking soda and water …prevents lactic acid and can blast hi reps
Yup same with your face, he mentions this in his podcast
I started doing my resting periods in front of a box fan and running cool water over my wrists. It has revolutionized my workout sessions.
Can you elaborate?
you could use flat ice instead of having to grab frozen bottles, or just wrap your hands with icey water in bags, this guy is just trying to sell you something expensive you don't need, prolly the whole thing about grabbing and having a grip being counter productive or useless is nothing but him trying to sell his snake oil, im sticking to ice cold bags :)
The ice is too cold and restricts your blood vessels. I have a bathroom in a climate controlled home gym. So I just run my wrist under the tap. You could just get a bucket of cool water and a small towel for a cold compress.
@@lionlol tnx. I appreciate it.
do you know the temp approximately of the water? 10°c? 12?
I'm in the UK, and we're for our cold and wet weather. When I did hiking years ago, someone told me that it's important to cover your wrists with your sleeves, as that's where a lot of your body heat escapes. I never thought to implement this in the reverse to training and intentionally cooldown from the wrists between sets!
In Canada we always wear toques when it's cold, alot of heat escapes form your head too!
I've been using 2 pairs of ice glass bottles at the gym for about 10 months now. The first bottle set for the first half, the second for the second half of my work out. Before hand cooling, I would run hot, sweat and run into muscle fatigue. I no longer have fatigue problems or sweat. Every time I move onto a new set or new exercise I feel fresh and un-fatigued, this benefit alone is a complete game changer in the gym. This science is crazy, the results are even crazier. Best of luck to you all
What did you mean mate when you said using them? Drinking the ice water or what? Thanks

I wonder if there is a reason why the human body dosn't allow the excessive production of force over the natural boundaries...RIGHT: Injury prevention! Great for top level sports which make athletes millions, but for the average Joe without a team of doctors, really just a quicker way to get injured. I think connective tissue recovery is greatly overlooked in this whole area.
This comment can lead to a solid hypothesis. I think should be investigated if it’s ever popularized.
Good point.. a hot muscle is a pliable muscle
this is a great argument
Yup, usually, there is no "free lunch". If you gain one thing, you often lose another thing elsewhere. It's interesting regardless, and we need more data.
Yeah seems like a good way to get injured
As a kid I learned that if you place a cold water on your wrist it helps cool you down. This is a detailed and highly advanced breakdown. Love the education in this
Ironical comment?
i use it the other way around , when it's cold outside ,
you can also use hot water on your wrists and hands to get warm real quick ,
you just feel your body temp go up in a couple minutes
Same. First thing I thought of too
So then why are you supposed you excercise in the evening, when your body temperature is warmer?
The thing about wearing gloves while cycling literally happened to me this week. One day, wore my bike gloves out to cycle in 15 degrees Celcius, could not make myself to cycle and kept wanting to go home. The next day, 25 mins of high pace cycling at 150 bpm, Felt Like I could do more but restrained myself from doing too much cardio, Was Not wearing my gloves this time.
When he starts using words that he know perfectly well but are new for other people,he feels bad and tries to be more simple❤️He's a legend
For those interested, he did a podcast with Dr. Craig Heller recently (October 4th), the guy at Stanford who developed this technology and studies body temperature regulation etc.
For those interested, Greg Nuckols dismantled Heller's work while trying very hard to keep a straight face and stay neutral in the Stronger by Science podcast. The study was ridiculous, with pros progressing faster than newbies and the effect sizes were pretty unbelievable when compared to other studies in the literature.
After moving to the area you hear is a ton of crazy cool things that Stanford works on. I'm here because of a roommate 😅. From more plates more dates to this to robotic surgery to a fish treadmill in my garage lol. Stanford students really are unique.

I grew up doing performance sports in Florida but when I moved to northern Germany, where life is wonderfully cold, my sports performance increased dramatically. I could do longer, with more intensity, and more enjoyably than being in a warm or hot environment. Even now, 35 years later, my best results are always when it's cold.
I tried this in the gym during a rock climbing workout (there was exposed metal that touched the outside which was 30f) and my power output and the amount of sets I was able to do increased amazingly. I also tested grip strength on 2 days and saw under the same conditions and sets to failure being the precursor, that my grip strength went from 76-91 (post failure but the 91 had ice for 30 seconds instead of rest)
I first tested this concept myself using metal bars on a playground outside during cooler weather (similar to your story) and noticed the benefits during pull ups. Unfortunately, cold metal is not always accessible, which is why I invented Kühler. Check us out @getkuhler and maybe we can help you out 💪
So then why are you supposed you excercise in the evening, when your body temperature is warmer?
13:09 Last Saturday I learned that this is exactly the case. I did a long run in the 50s & heavy rain and I was able to make it to 30 miles. Longest I had done before that was a marathon. My whole body was basically in a cool mit the entire time, and my muscles felt stable and had good endurance, but of course got pretty tired out by the end. Running low on calories seemed to become the limiting factor.
it feels really good running in the rain imo, maybe that’s why?
30 miles?😯 Beast!🔥👍
You ran for 3.5+ hours? Yeah right
@@nipples8776 why are you acting like people don't run marathons IRL? lol
Wait until he hears about ultramarathons
pretty awesome to see Andrew in the gym doing work. I respect that man very much and watch all his work
I tried a variation of this for my workout this morning (02/28/2023). I have a mini-fridge in my gym with water bottles at about 36 degrees. Bottom line, holy shit this works! In between sets, I would pull out a water bottle, hold it in my hands for 25 seconds, then put it back and lift. I was able to do 30-40% more reps, exact same workout exercises/weights I did a week ago. I felt unstoppable.
I tried doing it with cool packs. I didn't really see a difference. What rep ranges are you working with?
@@timoborri298 tried it some more over the weekend (03/06/2023). I’m lifting weights that I fail with at the 13-14 rep mark. I’m holding cool plastic water bottles in my hands for 50 seconds to a minute. Doing that, I have been able to get to 20 and even 24 reps with the same weight. It basically turns me into Superman. I’m going to do it every other workout for a couple of weeks and see what happens
Pfff. I bought a $1500 mitt and I was able to do 31-41% more reps.
So then why are you supposed you excercise in the evening, when your body temperature is warmer?
A few decades back they were doing studies with cooling bands around the wrists and saw significant improvements in endurance by regulating core temperatures.
That study turned into coolmitt
@@scatdawg1 it may have. It was very similar, regulating flow of a chilled fluid over the wrists.

Huberman has got to be top 5..always insightful, mostly always a paper to back it
If you can keep going, when is it too much?? Does your body/muscles register? Would this affect hypertrophy positively or adversely?
you'll feet it in your joints
I usually call it once my muscles start cramping up otherwise it feels like they could tear.
So then why are you supposed you excercise in the evening, when your body temperature is warmer?
I've heard of heat and cold being used alternately after exercise to increase muscle mass
This could benefit roofers! Ty for doing the hard work! (Smart work)
While I always learn something from Huberman, his comment about not planning to have kids till he's 50, might have been the best thing I've ever heard him say. Thanks for the chill pill to stop stressing that I don't have kids at 42. You're the best Huberman.
It's a piece of horrible advice. There is an increased chance of DNA damage in the sperm with age that you have to consider.

Why would anyone want to meet their grandchildren anyway. Huberman will be long dead before his first grandkid is 10 years old.
Bro, or sir, since you're 11 years older than me😆 my dad didn't have me, his 2nd and last son, until he was your age, and I turned out great. Mom was 38. I'm so blessed to have had parents with maturity and wisdom. I'm ahead of a lot of my peers today because of it.
Also, one of my gurus didn't have children until he was in his late 80's, wife was late 70's or early 80's. Her hair was still completely black, and they were both fit for their age. If you take your health seriously it can be done.
I myself don't plan on having kids until I'm around your age, because that's when I'm scheduled to retire from the Army. I just found a woman who I actually trust with my seed too. Do what you know is best.
Hey Mark, this is such a huge breakthrough, I'm having trouble believing it. Would you be able to post a video of the coolmit in use with a thermal camera to track the drop in body temperature? It all makes sense but seeing the temperature drop upfront would solidify my belief in the product.
Because the study is flawed. Cooling your hands does not improve performance by 300%…
Go watch the podcast with the developer. Then read the papers. The mechanism is still being studied. The outcomes are what is pretty solid.
@@TheFatSteez that which can be claimed without evidence can be dismissed without evidence. So, you're wrong.
@@TheFatSteezhahaha, you’re the bro science dude he was talking about. 😂
@@BeGrizzlyStrong You've got your order of operations the wrong way around. Consider what 300% looks like in the real world. Then ask why you don't see all pro athletes in nearly all sports utilizing a method that was studied over 10 years ago. The researcher says it's better or as good as steroids and it's not banned by WADA so why don't we see pro athletes using it?
I use to live in the middle east and the villagers also do this back in Philippines. While ice to the neck is the worst thing to do, you wrap a cold wet towel around the back of your neck and can also put a wet cold towel on your head. This was to keep your core and an optimal level when working in the desert or tropical forest. Putting your feet in cool water while having a cold wet towel on your head does the same thing.
You notice when your at the beach and you try to walk into cold water you cant handle it but the trick is to dip your head in as fast as you can so your body adapts to the cold as soon as possible.
All this sounds like the concept of that. Where you keep your core cool to keep on chugging along.
Cooling the neck and head is a good way to feel better but increases risk of organ damage and death. He even says it in this video.
@@BeGrizzlyStrong here are 2 tips to help you in life.
1 you will always be ignored when you waste your breath from the side lines telling people with experience what you heard/read/watch about any topic

Won't believe it until I see a vlog (from a 3rd party) that follows someone over time and shows the whole process.

If it doesn't build more muscle or make you stronger than who cares if you can do 300 pushups or 500 dips !!!
Calsthenic dweebs
It could potentially build more muscle because you can increase output reps. So your 3 rep max will become a 6 rep max.
@@hornedgod2873 no, your 300 rep max becomes a 500 rep max. if you want to increase your 6 rep max you work in the 6 rep failure range.
@@dessertstorm7476 you’re not understanding the premise of the technology. Did you watch the entire video?
@@hornedgod2873 its a face mask thing. 6 reps is pretty much pure anaerobic its not going to help.
I am seeing this as a technique to implement only on occasion. I can't imagine suddenly adding that much volume being good for your joints. But it sounds great to break through a plateau or perhaps in competition.
Actually volume is exactly what you want for tendons and joints. Low weight high volume stretch based exercise. It’s high loads that are bad for ur joins
So then why are you supposed you excercise in the evening, when your body temperature is warmer?
Seems pretty interesting. I wonder if there are any actual training adaptations beyond endurance. If you're increasing the volume that much, i would expect normally expect injury from overuse. I wonder how it affects movements like a loaded barbell squat in the 70-80% range, rather than a relatively easy bodyweight movement like a dip. The NFL player anecdote is interesting, but did he get any better from the extra volume? Does that extra ability to tolerate that volume still exist today?
It seems too good to be true. I imagine this will be primarily useful for performance in competition, but it could possibly convey a huge advantage which is interesting
Makes me think of when I played rugby in some day long tournaments, we would try and use ice baths between each game to cool our core temp down through our hands so that we weren’t dead by the 5th game on a hot day
Does that extra ability to tolerate that volume still exist today?
- This is answered in the video: 'Yes'
nobody needs 200-400 repts and 20-40 sets for the same muscle, 4-10 per work out will do, anything else is pointless and or counter productive, only value I see here is less overall exhaustion, which is nice, so is ice :) ....Imagine jogging or doing cardio with that thing in comparison to a frozen bottle 😃 you would need to put it in a backpack

Your instincts are correct. Sounds like he's selling a line of bs.
What about just holding on to the power rack or a stack of iron plates while you rest? They are usually cooler than the room temperature and most gyms aren't super hot or cold.
I have the bootleg version of this called CuulCans
He suggested that himself as an option.
the metal sitting in a room would be the exact same temperature as the room. But yeah I get what you’re saying, it’s significantly cooler than your body and the metal conducts heat transfer quickly.
My thoughts going into the winter. My garage gym is unheated.
My favorite thing about this video is that its like Andrew is just a chatterbox and just never stops talking
Cooling the body's core temperature is a "Cool idea" (pun) but what about training the body to handle more heat? Adding a hot tub or sauna to training triggers heat shock proteins and wouldn't it acclimate the body to higher thermal body heat? You could even dip your hands in hot water between sets to challenge the body early in the workout, rather than trying to cool the body later in the workout.
I mean there s a part in the video where they speak about that
I cannot respond to all your questions, but cooling your body to increase performance is not the same as using hot steam/water to TRAIN your body to support heat increases. So, one is to increase performance of your lifting training and the other one is to train your body for future hit increase.
World Class educator
I have a lot more questions. This is obviously awesome for strength and workload training. How does it effect hypertrophy? I lift in Michigan and always feel like I get a better pump in a 90° gym rather than a 65° gym. Also would love to know if cooling prevent injuries or could it increase the chance of some? They have some awesome articles on the website, but it's all workload related.
It's bad, i looked it up. And it's so badly done i can't believe he talks about it, as if it's a magical thing.
They compared 2 weeks of pull-up gains to 6 weeks of pull ups gain
@@GoalOrientedLiftingI’ve read what their website says for the pull-up study but do you have a link to any published material from the study?
I ask because I don’t see anywhere it says that they’re comparing a 2-week study to a 6-week study.
The graph shows an exponential increase with cooling after each set and a linear increase cooling after each workout.
Unless you have more information about the study, then I don’t think you can possibly come to the conclusion that the study was conducted improperly.
@@ryanb5099 th-cam.com/video/Bh4um-4GgQ0/w-d-xo.html starts around minute 32. There might be some advantage to palm cooling, but nowhere near the 300%. In fact, most studies only see benefits, in a hot environtment. This whole thing makes me question anything the man says.
Regarding injury from rapid volume increase, the solution would be to restrict increases to 10% per week.
In the meantime studies on injury from much more rapid volume increases from the Cool Mitt should be done.
Yeah, I think it's good to stress that the really big volume increases are on studies of people who are already very proficient at that exercise. I've played around with cooling my hands, and did feel like I could increase volume, but I did find I was sore afterwards.
So, I tried this by filling a water bottle with ice water, and holding it in one hand then the other. To reproduce the vacuum, I would just rapidly flex and extend my hand.
From the sauna, I tried just running my hands under cold water while again... flexing and extending rapidly. Results were amazing, because you can feel the core cool.
Normanlly, I will sweat a lot after showering when I use the sauna, but cooling this way left me not sweating.
Very interesting that it would limit sweating like that. Gotta try myself.
the study details abstract section explains that the 144% increase was during a 6 week period compared to people who did same training without cold exposure
I'm curious if using cold water would be enough. Between sets, at home (it would be weird in a gym lol)
I'm thinking the same, I wonder what the optimum temperature is though. Temperature seems to be the most important aspect from what he's suggested. I have a cold tub in my gym and am thinking about running over to it and dipping my hands in between sets to see if anything happens.
@@yanwain9454 Drinking cold stuff is not how it works ;)
@@MitigateOurRuin I guess it doesn't really matter. I mean, the device they used seemed to just transfered the heat away, without being uncomfortable (so not that cold). I think cold water on the palm of the hands is colder than that, and good enough, without messing with the skin.
I'll try anyway 😅
He has a podcast about it. I dont remember alot of it but i do remember him comparing these 2 methods in more detail
Yeah what if you brought a small cooler with ice and dunked your hands in between sets, or bring an ice pack and hold it with your hands
I looove how practical this device is!
How about lowering a fever?
you would do it the same way, but don't lower it unless it's reaching 40°© or higher, as fever helps you fight illness.
I tried it with my son when he had a fever, dropped three degrees in a few minutes as measured by armpit.
I've been running cold water over my wrists to cool down for many years now. I don't remember who told me or where I heard it first, but I'm glad to hear this confirmed here.
Not wrists. Palms.
@@BeGrizzlyStrong pretty sure the water runs over his palms too since they are only half an inch distant ffs
@@richpiana8020 you're pretty sure? You mean you assume?
My only question: What is the optimum cooling temperature?
@あえういお Thank you.
Feel like this could be used to help treat heat exhaustion
Are you familiar with the research done by Michigan University that would seemly contradict this theory? It was related to Wim Hof and how exposure to cold on the hands and feet can actually make your core body temperature go up not down
He somewhat indirectly talked about that, he said the glove isn’t too cold because if it was it would cause your body to heat up. I think the difference is the temp. I think the glove is like 18-20c room temp is 22c and an ice bath is going to be about 0c
Sounds like he's an investor
Sceptical on this. Probably works for over heating but not everyone over heats during a weightlifting workout. When I do pull-ups I wear gloves because my hands get too cold, and less blood circulates to them.
I feel so much better and more energetic when I wash my hands and face with cold water. In between exercises I sometimes do this and get a second wind.
Before you Wim Hoff junkies out there say do Wim Hoff, I do. I have cold showers, cold showers dont energize me, they make me relaxed because they stimulate your parasympathetic nervous system, not your sympathetic system.
Amazing!! So stoked about this.
Huberman is cashing in on just about everything
yeah went cringe real quick, while his knowledge is still superb on his own podcast. but hes turning towards sellings snake oil real quick rn
@@marcinczapski8547 I don’t see how this is snake oil when it’s literally proven with real research
Wow, sometimes I workout even in rain outside only in shorts and those workouts are the most badass. Now I know why. The rain is cooling me down and I´m able to work out almost without breaks between the sets.
Garage gym in the winter...the whole damn space acts like a Coolmitt. Cold air, cold steel, cold handles. 300% colder.
astronauts have vests that are filled with liquids which can heat and cool their body core. And i saw a darpa research video where a soldier used something like that and or a kind of glove that they could wear to keep their body core temp low while wearing lots of gear that caused their body temp to go up and also while expending lots of energy carrying heavy loads.. it also helps them reduce amount of liquid they lose through sweating.
I called this having a beer when I work out. I’ll go to the fridge and grab a couple of beers or cold cans and hold onto them in between sets. It really does work
lol
Another option I found is battery powered fans. A certain market website has some that are 4000mAh for $12. They are USB recharcheable with an extra large battery and 3 speeds. They have a tough cage and are good for holding in the hands. I got them to use while falling alseep. They are claimed to be able to run for 20 hours.
Only 300 per cent ?
In an age of hype, I would imagine 500 per cent is easily attained.
Hmm, so would it be beneficial to go do a workout in your back yard in 40 degree fahrenheit weather(without a coat on), instead of doing your workout in a 75 degree fahrenheit gym?
Any idea how this works in association with cardio? Also would love ice water on just the feet before a run help?
I’m curious about this as well. I wonder how effective it would be for speed work in cross country
No because there wouldn’t be blood running through your feet to cool your core. Watch the video again and pay attention.
Yes, you can do this through your feet, but ice water is probably too cold, as it will cause the blood vessels to constrict.
@@thebigbw awesome. Thanks for the information.
Shoes with water inside will enable you to run forever. It’s called a cool mitt for the foot.

When I was in high school we had to do a week long project that was pretty involved. I don’t remember all of it but one kid slacked off the whole week and on Friday presented the “ATP Powerband” which was a rubber band on his wrist that he said could recharge your bodies ATP level. I feel like this is pretty much on that level.
DK effect
Except it isn't that at all.
😂 you can’t possibly compare the two
What about running in winter conditions, although it’s not juste the portal in contact with the cold, but the whole body, does it have the same effects ?
Personally, I find that running in winter is better for my body than running in the summer, I often get heat strokes
When Mark Bell is being quiet while talking to guys like this, he is really just concentrating on not calling them out on their bull crap claims. Huberman in the video literally says “it won’t make you stronger.”
He's been giving a platform to a lot of cranks lately
I do not think a Stanford neurobiology professor would push stuff if the studies were bullshit. That would be the end of his career, and being amongst the top of academia is no small feat. Also, with my primary school knowledge about biology I literally could rationalize how it wouldn't make you stronger but would allow you to do more work.
@@sm-qw9mj depends if he had tenure, and if his business interests conflicted with his work or not.
@@dessertstorm7476 Losing your reputation is the end of you in academia, regardless of your position.
@@sm-qw9mj @sm well maybe your primary school education means you dont understand "tenure". You probably also overestimate how much academia cares or pays attention to fitness products. The reason this area is so exploitable is because of how little it is studied compared to actual medical problems and how weak the studies are, either in size, adherence or scope. It's not uncommon for institutions to employ professors with fringe opinions, especially if it doesn't interfere with their work. You should probably avoid weak arguments like "hes a professor therefore he's right", look for a consensus of scientific opinion rather than the opinions of one individual. Pre-emptively expecting you to double down and not wanting to get dragged into an endless youtube argument, gonna mute you bye.

9:31 Andrew says "Some guys have written to me and gotten really good results finding a cold object in the gym, you know it's sort of a poor man's version of it but it's hard to know if it's cold enough"
Actually there is no cold object in the room since every single object in a room have the exact same temperature! The reason metal feels cold is due to "Thermal Conductivity". Since metal is good conductor it will rapidly extract the heat from your hand until the surface of your hand and the object reach "Thermal equilibrium". It is not that the object is cold , it is that your hand is warmer (36-37 degrees Celsius). The sensation of cold on your palm is because you are feeling the loss of your body heat from your hand. In fact we CAN NOT feel temperature (I know it sounds strange). What we feel is either the loss or gain of heat energy. The reason why a book feels warm while glass and metal feel cold is because paper is a poor conductor so it is not extracting as much of your body heat away from you.
Never saw huberman without a long sleeve t shirt but you can see he is tattooed. We wanna see the tattoo sleeve!
Nobody cares cept you bud.
Shoutout to COSTELLO! I bet he'd love this question, I hope. I used Costello's name to trigger your acetylcholine response ("carefully"...attentional blinks podcast ep. reference.) I apologize if that's rude Andrew. And thank you for your work! You're one of my role models and a true academic.
If a benefit of the Coolmitt or AVAV-tech is to partly allow dramatic linear increases in high-quality work volume then what sort of implications might that have for the various conditioning protocols already utilized in specialized sports focusing on hypertrophic exercise programming (i.e. increased work load relationship to MPS through metabolic byproducts of high-volume exercise at optimized levels, hormone modulation via exercise circa the classic 10x10 method, collagen protein synthesis and bone density stimulated by fibrocytes & fibroblasts in response to repeated stress on the joints and bones exhibited at certain levels of work volume (high rep @low-weight or low/med reps @moderate/heavy loads; net work volume).
Since most research indicates that the general population would benefit from higher-volume work loads & cardio whether to prevent cardiovascular disease or to prevent osteoporosis or to supplement a healthier diet or to influence hormone production in sedentary individuals for healthier brain/body function, then would the conditioning period during which their metabolism & physiology begins to adapt to the new internal and external stresses that are being stimulated by the exercise become significantly reduced? Could aspiring athletes short-circuit the stereotypical adjustment period when their organs, muscles, connective tissues, brain and bones are adapting to a physically demanding training program- in other words, is there a strong positive correlation between high-quality, high-volume work sets performed with proper rest ranges per set and utilizing progressive overload between work days and the productivity of our body's mechanical & cellular adaptive mechanisms?
Can the typical 6 mo.'s-2 years often espoused by bro scientists as the minimum adjustment period be drastically reduced, assuming coolmitt-assisted individuals maintain proper nutritional intake and sleep quality? Could elderly individuals now utilize extremely high rep low-weight exercise programs (3x or 4x higher in possible work volume per muscle) with optimized recovery faster than was possible before the introduction of the technology? I'd love to see an interview with a physiologist or kinesiologist on the possible benefits of this technology with respect to current findings in the field of muscle recovery and advanced athletic performance.
Got into cerebral overheating years ago but I didn't realize one could cool the whole body through the hands. Makes sense tho and the body continues to amaze....
The NFL started using this technology on the sidelines over a decade ago.
That's why I love to workout on winter.
I live in south Brazil, and here we have all the 4 seasons well defined, in the summer we get 30ºC easily and at winter the most of the days stay at the 0ºC to 10ºC range, and a few around -5ºC to 5ºC.
In the summer for me is a nightmare, i swet a lot, it's much harder to breath.
I learn that i need to dry the swet from the skin constantly, cause it helps your body to continue the cooling the system.
This gadgets like Huberman presents here are awesome, we need more things like this in the daily routine.
Really I thought Brazils climate was all Amazon jungle
Instead of cool mitts you can just fill up a metal thermos with ice & use both hands, instead of 1.
Has this something to do why I can swim longer and have more energy during the swim in cold water...
One of the great overlooked applications for this they mentioned would be sleep. How many people can't sleep well because they're big, heavy, and hot/sweaty at night?
Wouldn’t this be better as a headband, bring back that 80’s style.
I was 100% exhausted from walking in the morning for 1-2 straight but I lay down in park and took deep breath and it was cold 🥶, after few minutes I was completely recovered and I started running my body was so much refreshed that I was willing Carey on but I realised I don’t want to exhusted myself but that was one ☝️ time I realised it’s not about how much instead how long that matters word to word how you explained makes sense it’s not enhancing instead it better understand so workout could be hours and hours without getting tired and doing whole years world out in days weeks or even month instead of years without injuries
Wondering what this device would do for my golf game. Lucas Glover who is a PGA pro who won a tournament last year. This guy is a prolific sweater and in order to keep his hands dry, he put his hands in an ice bucket on every hole to stop his hands from sweating. Won the tournament.
For those interested, Greg Nuckols dismantled the effect of cooling and the study that used this glove by Heller in particular while trying very hard to keep a straight face and stay neutral in the Stronger by Science podcast. The study was ridiculous, with pros progressing faster than newbies and the effect sizes were pretty unbelievable when compared to other studies in the literature.
I searched for it, couldn’t find it. Do you have a link or is it not on TH-cam?

@@LeedsHypnotherapist thank you for the link. I think more research is necessary, certainly. Greg's sarcasm and suspicion regarding the last study aside, I don't think its fair to characterize it as a dismantling, as the original commenter stated. It may not be the best word for it considering the connotation. Certainly, Greg has input on how the studies could be improved, but his bias also shows.
Dude is educated. Very eloquent
What is the correct temperature for cooling the hands? And, do you only cool one hand or do you put a mitt on both hands between sets?
What if you just workout outside when it's really cold, snowing for exemple?
It’s a kooler within a kooler
Lmao exactly in stans voice too 🤣
Bruh
The icepack on the neck is an old trick but I believe it is just tricking your medulla oblongata to sense that the body is cooler than it is, this can be calming but he right it would then down regulate cooling mechanisms some what
Just use a ice pack wrapped enough to the same temperature as the cool mit . Then check your temperature .
The issue with an ice pack is it would cause vasoconstriction and wouldn’t allow cool blood to travel to your heart. Your body heat would change the pack’s temperature as well so cool water would become warm water eventually
Ah thats why I was able to do 12hours more of snowboarding when i take of my gloves..
So this is the high tech version of holding an ice cold bottle of beer, or if you wanted to warm up holding a hot mug of coffee
I can’t wait until he provides more info on lactate.
So our bodies are like an engine (IE: airplane engine) that runs more efficiently in cold weather. So wouldn't it be best to just train in colder air since the largest organ is our skin aka more surface area to circulate the temperature?
And avoid living in places like Los Angeles lol
@@thebestever333 that was random 🙄
@@MicMaine I'm only saying this, because I live there and it gets hot as hell in the summer, makes it very hard to exercise outside
@@thebestever333 oh ok, that makes sense
how about downregulating the thermostat or just using a fan?
That's super interesting stuff, guess if for home work out a bucket of water from the fridge will do the trick!
Does training in a cold environment with no warming cloths doesnt't have the same effect? This should cool the body via its whole surface.
they need to actually conduct scientific studies with strict boundaries and control groups instead of citing one instance of some dude doing a ton of dips. And have someone who actually can explain the science behind it instead of this dude who's like its uh ADP ...ATP uh it cools the core and UH ...blah blah blah.
So running without gloves in winter should make me run up to 300% more?
If heat can be removed quickly enough during performance I wonder; how far can continuous performance be extended? What the will the ultimate performance limiting factor be? Could someone do indefinite push-ups while using two of these?
What temperature does the mitt get to? Its ice water so its above freezing by a bit ....40ish?
I love what you do professor, but this looks like a commercial, you can also do it with a cold bottle of water and it's something I learned from you, it should be cold not so cold, and that's what I do and it works
I tried freezing a half full glass bottle, because glass transfers heat more effectively, and the bottom is too cold while the top stays cool. Anyway, I am doing this for couple of weeks and I feel nothing different.
@@TheMchef it works for sure, and every single time, the way I do it is I keep filling the water bottle with cold water at the gym, if it's too cold you will not get any benefits from it, it should be cold not freezing
Muscle getting hot should trigger it to grow through?
To all the folks trashing Andrew you need to do your research. He's solid. He's about as much an expert you will ever EVER find by a long shot when it comes to this stuff.
I like Andrew and his content on Neuroscience is exceptional but this is slightly out of his wheelhouse and he had the professor who developed this on his podcast,
I think this has potential but it's far too early to demonstrate this technology without further studies but cool introduction to the strength/bodybuilding community
@@nathanroberts6356 id agree with you if I felt like he was pushing it but have you ever tried cold exposure? Obviously me and you both know you don't need a product to practice cold exposure or get its benefits but he was simply showing off a fun product that honestly id love to own. Its as useful as any of the stuff other people push and to be honest andrew huberman has given society so much value and hasn't charged a dime I wish he Was getting paid for some of the advertising he does.
For those interested, Greg Nuckols dismantled Heller's work that the glove is based on while trying very hard to keep a straight face and stay neutral in the Stronger by Science podcast. The study was ridiculous, with pros progressing faster than newbies and the effect sizes were pretty unbelievable when compared to other studies in the literature. Let's just say we need independent replication to say the least. Also, I would rather trust Greg Nuckols and Dr. Eric Trexler over an Neuro/Opthalmology Prof when it comes to performance and exercise science every time.
@@samyakdhole4698 what's the article called i would love to read it?
What is the correct circulation temperature?
