I put a wet hand towel in the freezer for 15 minutes and then wrap it around my neck so I get cool blood flowing through my carotids. How can you bench or lift with these gloves covering the palms?

I would think having a neck cooling device you could wear through the whole training cycle would work better.

If cooling the hands works better I'm going to invent a barbell, treadmill and elliptical add-on device that will wrap around and cool you down as you're working out. Maybe some blue ice gel and some thermo electric cells?
