He said "Tool". Huh. Huh. Huh, huh, huh.

From reading the piece, I think I understand the underlying principle, but I'm unclear on how it would work with training to increase performance in an activity line doing pull-ups, unless it was used while doing them.

I feel stronger climbing in the cold, and I wonder if this effect is happening when we're out wrapping our hands around or shoving our hands into cold rock? (Of course, you don't get the 'penis enlarger' effect while climbing...)

Nope. No more pump.

After 6 weeks of continuous use, its big enough to keep me secure in my manhood.

I think it's pretty easy to think that the pump is in part from retaining fluid, i.e. swelling. If ice keeps it down, then it would reduce the pump.

I don't wear rings anymore b/c my fingers are usually swollen on Mondays. An aging woman recommended that I stick my hands in icewater to reduce it. I thought, why the hell would I stick my hands in cold water to wear jewelry...but maybe on Sat. nights before climbing the next day, that'd be nice to start out fresh.

That's why I like climbing in cool weather-no heat load to start with! Any kind of exercise is cool weather seems much easier too me.
An even more efficient way would be to have cold drinks at the crag. Or slurpees.

I wonder what kind time period that this person was doing this number of pull-ups in?
