Saw a doc on F1 drivers using crazy cooling suits to bounce back between races, and it got me wondering could something like that work for regular folks? I’m all for ice baths, but strapping on a cooling vest between sets sounds way more convenient (and less miserable). Anyone tried anything like this, or is it just overkill for non-pro athletes? Curious if there’s actual science backing it or if we’re better off sticking to the classics. Bonus points if you’ve got DIY hacks that don’t cost a fortune!
Oh , cooling vests are legit! Some studies show they help with recovery by reducing core temp faster. I rigged a cheap DIY version with frozen gel packs and a workout shirt total game changer between gym sessions!
