Palm cooling works. Plain and simple. I walk most nights for about 2 miles. It's a Real Feel of 97°F out there right now. Yet my HR was almost 15-20bpm lower than normal AND I'm not completely drenched in sweat. That's another walk that I could take and not worry about heat exhaustion or being super fatigued from overheating. It's a no brainer.

Of all the things on this list. Palm Cooling is probably the strangest for you. Here's a quick primer. Your hands are like the best designed custom radiators for heat. - There's special skin on the palms of your hands called glaborous skin. - There's specific blood vessels in your hands called Arteriovenous anastomoses or AVAs. They can skip your capilaries which allows them to move blood FAST from your core to your skin much faster. This means that when you get hot or exercise, these blood vessels can open up to remove heat from your body. We use this fact with palm cooling to COOL your blood down. No we don't want cold hands. We want cooler blood. Cooler core temperatures in your body. How do we use it? While there's a growing industry of tools and gadgets... many of which I've tried and are friends with founders. You've already felt this process any time you've held onto a warm cup of coffee on a winter morning or a cold drink in the summer. For athletics: any time you'd have a rest interval or a drink break. You should take the opportunity to palm cool. - In the weight room that'd be between sets. - On the track same deal. Repeat intervals are great. - In a game any time you're on the sideline. The temperature is specific (too cold and those special blood vessels close up. They are trying to keep you from freezing to death. Too hot and you don't get the cooling effect.) That temperature range is 45-60°F. Hold onto something preferably aluminum or copper in that range for 60s-3 minutes and you'll notice a couple significant changes. #1. You can keep going. If you're in the weight room you'll be able to do more sets and more reps. You won't feel cracked like you are on preworkout. You just won't feel fatigue quite the same. You'll just feel... fine. Like you can do more. #2. You'll feel more conditioned on the track or during field sports. Repeat sprint ability is a hot button topic in S&C. If someone gave you a magic pill to improve your repeat sprint ability, to be able to complete more reps at the same level of quality... every athlete would be taking it. No pills here. Just something that cools you down. #3. Reduced mental fatigue and HR. Because you aren't overheating you can maintain your technique, you can make better decisions, you'll make more plays. (You won't be hot, stupid, and tip into that tunnel vision irrationality of 170+ BPM). The cheapest solution? The thin walled aluminum bottles you get at the ballpark, at a football game, or the zoo. It's like a dollar. The more reliable solution: relay batons with vinyl caps and ice water. If you're a coach or gym teacher you probably already have a pile of dented batons... 10 - 1.5" Vinyl caps are cheap at the hardware store or amazon. The more formal solutions out there: AVACooling, Apex Cool Labs Narhwals, or the Kühler. I personally use the Narhwals the most, because they stay cold the longest. (These are the OGs. The V1s. Now they come in black.) But there's a time and place for each of these for me. One last point because next week it's gonna be in the 90's in the Mishawaka/SB area of Northern Indiana... This is life saving technology for heat stress and heat stroke. We've dealt with several cross country runners who got overheated at practices and meets. We had coaches with a cooler bag full of batons for their athletes and it helped cool down kids who were overheated. I use it with my aging parents when we're working out in the yard, mowing, etc. While I originally got interested in this in 2022 for performance benefits (it's cool to double your # of sets and reps in DB bench in a workout.) On the humanitarian side I'm much happier that we've helped save kids from serious harm.

Here's a couple concepts that I talked with @Siemers_XC_TF last night. #1. Palm Cooling. Cheapest option is relay batons with 1.5" Vinyl caps, about 3 ice cubes, and cold water from the tap. 45-60F. Hold for 30s-3 mins in between rest periods. #2. Isometrics: especially for

@indiequant @levelsio There are a lot of studies on palm cooling for heat stress mitigation. The effect is quite clear! For strength training, the research points interest palm cooling rest of 3 minutes.

@its_felice @levelsio @indiequant Yes! Palms, soles, and cheeks have the specialized vasculature that enables you to cool (or warm) the body quickly. A single walled aluminum bottle filled with the right temp water works well especially if you can slightly shake it to avoid thermal barriers and refill frequently.

@karlisewell_ @Garmin Thank you! Planning to make the switch.

@leashadawg Broncos!!! And they are the same colors as the Oilers. 🧡💙

@SamanthaAnderl I am so proud to have you as an investor! You inspire me daily!

One of the core themes that @AltamontXCTF and I talk about every week is the idea of stacking competitive advantages. This is exactly that. We know that it's not just 1+1 = 2. It's fractions. It's decimals. It's tiny advantages that add up. Stack up. and matter. Why? We can't control everything. We can prioritize big components. Use whatever analogy you want. The jar with the big rocks, the little rocks, the pebbles, and the sand. There's a correct order to get as much stuff in the jar. But you can squeeze more and more sand in there. It's not just big rocks and call it a day.

@BioavailableNd We understand the fluid and flux of energy balance, others reduce it to a reductionist 1+1=2 problem, we see it as 0.1 + 0.3 + 1 + 0.4 + 0.2 = 1

An easy example is Palm Cooling. Does everyone know about palm cooling? No. Is palm cooling making an impact on playoff hockey right now? Well, there's a team going to the Stanley Cup finals using it. x.com/leashadawg/sta… It's not just all timed Freelap Sprints, Feed the Cats, and RPR. Although those are HUGE rocks for high school coaches too. This is the art in the art and science of coaching. Figuring out how to work with who's in front of you. Pull from the toolbox the right thing that they need to get the most out of them. And being flexible and adaptable to change.

@SamanthaAnderl I love how much you support the wider entrepreneurial community! Thank you for this!

I would love restaurant recommendations for Nice, France! Please share!

I love the comments trying to guess what @ZachHyman is doing! While visualizing Mario Kart is perhaps my favorite, the truth is he is palm cooling with @ApexCoolLabs Narwhals to accelerate recovery.
