Can't wait to read all the arguments why this shouldn't be allowed in baseball.
“We built a silly device, took it over to the recovery room and, lo and behold, it worked beyond our wildest imaginations,” Heller explained. “Whereas it was taking them hours to re-warm patients coming into the recovery room, we were doing it in eight, nine minutes.”
But the glove’s effects on athletic performance didn’t become apparent until the researchers began using the glove to cool a member of the lab – the confessed “gym rat” and frequent coauthor Vinh Cao – between sets of pull-ups. The glove seemed to nearly erase his muscle fatigue; after multiple rounds, cooling allowed him to do just as many pull-ups as he did the first time around. So the researchers started cooling him after every other set of pull-ups.
Hm. They need a fingerless option for guitar players.
In that article it says that one guy went from 180 pullups in a session to over SIX-FUCKING-HUNDRED in a session in just over six weeks!
@ T C:
It will be interesting when players start trying this and it will be even more interesting to see the fans and media react if this is as effective as we’re to believe. The entire argument about it being illegal would be gone. The argument about putting the kids in danger is gone. In the end we’re left with one simple thing: home runs. And that’s what it’s about anyway even if so many people won’t admit it.
I had to stop reading when I got to the part about bears. Bears shouldn’t be allowed to play baseball.
