    To say you did it all for us is not the whole truth. The smile on Lucy‘s face at 7:28 say‘s shes lovin it too 😂

    Since there are only 50 some comments, I’m assuming there are wax strips left😂.
    Favorite for technique swims is many many 50m reps on about 3:1 work:rest. Favorite for endurance is 60 min straight swim, which I know isn’t technically a distance…
    I have found with my own hair experiments, the delta is 3-4s/100m. This is much slower pace, however. Like around 1:50/100.

    Should have gone with 'VEET' much less painful for hair removal on men, especially when the hair is that long - Very brave 😁

    Lucy seemed to be having far to much fun doing that.
    We now need a camparison of Reece waxed Vs veet, just to see if the extra pain of waxing is worth it over using the cream.

  • @mjeffn2

    Sharksuits increase the drag next the skin so that a boundary layer of water travels with the swimmer, and water to water friction is much less than water to water friction. Wouldn’t hair have same or similar effect as sharkskin swim stuff? In the water, is friction the same as drag? It seems to me that hair of some length would make you go faster. I know from my sailboat racing days that waxing the bottom of a boat is slower than if the boat has a sanded bottom because of the boundary layer effect. This really confuses me from a hydrodynamics and physics point of view about swimming.

      Everyone's afraid of winning a hairy wax strip! How would I explain that to the wife?
      For the record, my favourite distance is the length of my bathtub. Swimming is not my sport. I'd also MUCH prefer the bin bag to the wax strip😬

  • @mawajekot

    Don't pull up!! Pull in the same direction but more horizontally. It's just as effective at removing hair but hurts less.

    Shaving legs for cycling increases your drag. Hairy legs increases your aerodynamics.

  • @onepunchbud1472
    @onepunchbud1472 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Waxin is actually way more painful for men because the leg / chesthair whatever is way thicker.
    That's why pro bikers shave and don't wax 😉
