Scientists find cool objects can cool body
1:54:35 - 2:11:35 (16:59)
Palmer's work shows that holding a cool object in between sets can reduce core body temperature.
Clips
Holding on to a relatively cool object in between sets for two minutes or so can effectively reduce your core body temperature, allowing you to do more volume of endurance and strength training, particularly when reaching plateaus.

Summary
Holding on to a relatively cool object in between sets for two minutes or so can effectively reduce your core body temperature, allowing you to do more volume of endurance and strength training, particularly when reaching plateaus. This Palmer cooling technique could be used to vastly increase your volume or endurance in a given session or a set of sessions.

This podcast discusses the use of deliberate cold exposure to increase testosterone levels, which is a common claim made in fitness communities, and explains how cold water immersion can affect dopamine, luteinizing hormone and downstream consequences that can lead to increased testosterone levels.

Deliberate cold exposure done earlier in the day increases core body temperature associated with wakefulness, while doing it later in the day, closer to bedtime, helps induce sleepiness and allows for an easier transition to sleep.
