It decreases the blood flow.

Huberman Lab
Essentials: Increase Strength & Endurance with Cooling Protocols | Dr. Craig Heller

So...

Huberman Lab
Essentials: Increase Strength & Endurance with Cooling Protocols | Dr. Craig Heller

I think it's a really interesting topic, and it's something that should be investigated.

Huberman Lab
Essentials: Increase Strength & Endurance with Cooling Protocols | Dr. Craig Heller

It's kind of hard to investigate.

Huberman Lab
Essentials: Increase Strength & Endurance with Cooling Protocols | Dr. Craig Heller

This was a story that occurred early on in our investigations when we first made the discoveries that cooling has a benefit to increase your work volume, your capacity to do more reps.

Huberman Lab

So the word got over, I think, to the 49ers camp.

Huberman Lab

And one of their players, Greg Clark, who was a tight end at the time, he had been tight end at Stanford, he decided to come over and check it out.

Huberman Lab

So, Greg came over and we said, Greg, what are you good at?

Huberman Lab
Essentials: Increase Strength & Endurance with Cooling Protocols | Dr. Craig Heller

What activity do you like to do?

Huberman Lab
Essentials: Increase Strength & Endurance with Cooling Protocols | Dr. Craig Heller

He said, dips.

Huberman Lab
Essentials: Increase Strength & Endurance with Cooling Protocols | Dr. Craig Heller

I can do a lot of dips.

Huberman Lab
Essentials: Increase Strength & Endurance with Cooling Protocols | Dr. Craig Heller

I can do 40 dips in a first set and I can probably do five sets.

Huberman Lab
Essentials: Increase Strength & Endurance with Cooling Protocols | Dr. Craig Heller

That's a usual workout for me.

Huberman Lab
Essentials: Increase Strength & Endurance with Cooling Protocols | Dr. Craig Heller

And we said, okay.

Huberman Lab
Essentials: Increase Strength & Endurance with Cooling Protocols | Dr. Craig Heller

So he came over to the gym one day and that's exactly what he did.

Huberman Lab
Essentials: Increase Strength & Endurance with Cooling Protocols | Dr. Craig Heller

He did 40 dips, the first set, and then maybe 25 and 15 and down from there.

Huberman Lab
Essentials: Increase Strength & Endurance with Cooling Protocols | Dr. Craig Heller

Can you recall roughly what kind of rest periods he was taking between sets?

Huberman Lab
Essentials: Increase Strength & Endurance with Cooling Protocols | Dr. Craig Heller

So several days later, he came back, and his first set he did, I think, maybe 42.

Huberman Lab
Essentials: Increase Strength & Endurance with Cooling Protocols | Dr. Craig Heller

Then his second set was, I don't remember the numbers, but very much above the second set on the control day.

This was after we cooled his armor surface.
