Cooling palms between sets
Often when I workout (fasted) my hands and feet are rather cold, even though my core is sweating. Is that bad because the vasoconstriction in hands and feet doesn't allow for my body to dump the heat generated in the muscle i just worked? Does that then mean, I need to get my hands warm enough first so that the AVA's are vasodilated enough for my body to start dumping heat through them again?
Cooling Palms with something frozen?
It was said that if you cool your palms and then someone else feels like your palms are cold, then you did it for too long and you became vasoconstricted. But how in the world could you try to cool your palms with anything frozen (or even remotely as cold as something frozen) without your hands feeling cold to someone else after? Even if you just do it for a couple seconds your hands are gonna be cold for a few seconds too, no?
Warming up for hypertrophy exercise?
Dr. Heller made it sound like warming up for hypertrophy exercise is only really useful to lubricate the joints and prevent injury. Is that true? Is there really no real benefit for hypertrophy to warm up? Does that mean you only really need to be warm enough to not be vasoconstricted (before hypertrophy training)?
Self generated optic flow = listening to music?
You said self generated flow after studying is good improves the study sesh. Does listening to a very familiar song count? Or only lyricless songs as the lyrics would be too much of a stimulus? What about playing a very familiar song on the guitar?
Managing Open Office Space
Hi Dr. Huberman, What are some ways you would suggest for dealing with working in an open office environment? The excessive noise, activity and lighting is incredibly distracting, especially for people who have ADHD or are just sensitive to noise. I've tried headphones, hats to block out activity (we have many pacers in the office that pace while taking calls at their desk) and glasses (Axon Optics) to block out the light. Are there any scientific studies that show the negative neurological effects of working in an open office space? Thank you!!
